NEW YoRK's GABoRIAU.

If the Police Department Is weak In
detective ability, II is strong in ability
to tell a detective story well. 1t was
a good story which Deputy Commits
sioner Dougherty told Of how his bu-
reau caught the two alleged Rosenthal
assassins who didn't ride to Police
Headquarters and insist upon being
locked up. The unremitting survell-
lance of the wives and the following
of them as they went daily on the ele-
waited railroad to visit their much
sought husbands and the regular los
ing of them as they left the elevated
to finish their journey by automobile
had an irresistible touch Of verisimili-
tude-after the way the murderers' ali-
tomobile escaped from throng of po-
licemen at Add street no one Will ques-
ton that the wives automobile easily
gave Mr.. Doughertys men the slip
daily.
Then there was the search for nat
in wooden building, over a laundry
TO which they had a good clew, includ-
ing part of the name, and with an
outlook upon a moving picture show.
The desperate search for this fat In
New Haven, Pittsburgh, Bridgetown
and other places affords convincing
proof that the police, who knew the
automobile which the wives regularly
used and where IL was kept, but never
could follow it when 1t went to wait
at an elevated railroad station 10 pick

unturned, no clew unexamined, in their
determination to trace the prisoners.
II Is reassuring to know that, given
a month, the police can run down
couple of prisoners In Brooklyn whose
wives visit them almost daily in an
automobile whose number, owner ana
garage are known. But half the salts
faction which the public derives from
this fine piece Of detective work would
have been lost had there been no one
at Police Headquarters with the lit
erary instinct to tell the story well.

"at Baltimore" But having gone a
few furIongs toward Mr.. Bryan's
magnificent" scorn of Murphy and all
his works, how is Governor Wilson to
avoid going many furlongs further?
The Democratic national managers say
that the candidate will not interfere
further in the local situation unless
asked to- Certainly urgent invitations
to interfere Will not be lacking. and
unless Governor Wilson is prepared
TO retract what he said a week ago
about obligations as a leader of the
party in the nation which he cannot
hOnorably escape, he will have to make
his attitude toward Murphy clear by
more forcible methods than the shrug
and the snub. If he means to fight
bOssism and corruption in the Demo
cratic party he will soon have to prove
his sincerity by attacking live and
dangerous instead OF an impOtent and
halfdead boss.

WILSON AND MINIMUM WAGE
Governor a Historian, but Entirely
Lost Outside of Library.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Just about the time Mrs. J. Bor-
den Hartman launched her project 10
help along Governor Wilson's candidacy
for the Presidency the Governor made up
his mind to make speech on the labor
question. He did not want to speak on
the money question because. as he says,
he does not know enough about Il to be
"dogmatic." Well. he did speak on a
phase OF the labor problem at Buffalo,
and he declared emphatically against the
minimum wage" This he holds TO be a
mysterious conspiracy against labor.
II Governor Wilson had consulted with
Mrs Hartman before he spoke he could
have learned something TO his help and
advantage. Mrs. Harriman's clever young
assistant, Miss Alberta Hill. is a native
OF Australia, and in Australia the mini
mum wage" is no mysterious bugaboo,
but an established fact.
1t would be well for Governor Wilson
to call Mrs. Hartman and Miss Hill into
counsel on the minimum wage before
he speaks again. They will explain TO
him that when he declares against a
minimum wage" regulation for women
he becomes an advocate of heartlessness
I'm dealing with the sex to which his wife
and daughters belong.
Governor Wilson may not know that the
proposed minimum wage" law practical
ly amounts 10 this: If IL actually costs
a woman IS n week to live. and a greedy
employer only pays her 81 week In
order TO sustain life and health that
woman must get from some other source
81 a week That source may be benevo-
lent or IL may be malevoient A mini
mum wage" law for women. which Gov
ernor Wilson opposes, will prevent much
wanton cruelty and disregard to the
sacred rights OF womanhood
Perhaps a young Princeton man was
right when he said; Governor Wilson Is
against minimum wage law because ne
does not understand II. Governor Wilson
will understand it when It gets into the
text books OF political economy. He is
only an historian. perfectly lost outside
of library"
Among the every day affairs OF men
Governor Wilson IS an encyclopedia Of
ignorance. A WOMAN OF TRENTON

years have producers Of iron and steel

August report of untitled tonnage by
the United States Steel Corporation
showed an increase in excess of 100000
tons in untitled contracts. In structural
steel there is a steadily increasing
demand, with gradually rising prices.
Building operations are extending, and
steel enters into building more gener-

displays a broadening field beyond all
former operations. The export trade
of the United States is showing gains

A QUESTION OF IDENTITY.

The Treasury Departments latest
problem turns on the question: when
is a herring not n herring II seems
that in Norway and Sweden they catch
behring's which after being packed and
labelled as sardines are brought into
this country and sold as sardines.
Nevertheless, the importer is not salts
fed with the profit Of buying at her
ring prices and selling at sardine
prices. The duty on the latter fish is
higher than Oil the former. Therefore,
while he is entirely willing that the
goods be rated az Sardines when
they are once in his warehouse, ana
ready to swear there that the contents
OF the boxes follow the label, he Is in
sistent that Mt the frontier the label
goes only skin deep and that the her
rings do not really change to sardines
till they are through the Custom
House.
To what decision the legal intricacies
of such a problem may lead we shall
not attempt 10 guess. Perhaps the
cost OF living would be reduced If the
duty were levied on the fish as herring
provided the authorities conspicuous
ly stamped each box with notice that
Il contained behring's Then the con
sumner might be able to buy them at
herring prices. Should the government
make itself partner in fraud by tax
ing rs sar1ines what il knows TO be
behring's? on the other hand. would
ii not be equally partner in fraud by
silently letting in counterfeit sardnes
which the importer in his invoice CON
fesSes 10 he counterfeitS?
Many years ago man was brought
before n county judge In Livingston
County, charged with grand larceny in
country store. The defence tried TO
prove that the stockings were not
worth the 500 at which they were
marked. and that the offence was nj
most only petit larceny. But the Judge.
with the homeIy wisdom Of a Solomon,
refused to permit this, ruling: IF the
defendant was not satisfied with the
price Of the goods he shouldn't have
stolen them" We commend that iu-
dicial precedent to the Treasury Off
clals. As matter Of common sense
at least. II the importer Is not satisfied
to pay sar1ine duty on behring's he
shouldn't box up his behring's to sell rs
sardines.

IMPROVING PROSPECTS.

From The Tribune's correspondent
AT Beverly, Mass, comes the ehcour-
aging word that President Taft ana
his closest advisers there believe that
the turning Of the tide in this cam
paign has come and that the Bun
Moose is losing strength. The EVIL
dence is not vet overwhelming, but IL
consists of a lot of indications all
pointing in the same direction ana
tending 10 show that the recession III
Colonel Rooseyelts movement when
sntelligent political observers have all
along expected has already begun
Certainly the news which comes from
the West OF the diminution In the au-
diences which the colonel is drawing
there is discouraging TO supporters OF
the third party. It's strength consists
in the ability Of the colonel TO draw
crowds. And the fact that he drew
only 10000 people TO the Minnesota
state Fair this year, whereas on the
occasion Of his last visit the attend
ance was 100000, does not agree Win
the report that the West had gone
over to him completely.
A similar situation in Tacoma, where
only 1900 persons heard him this
year, compared with 10000 a year ago.
agrees with all the other indications
that the West has come TO It's senses.
OF these there are many. Few per-
sons In the West are taking part IN
the Progressive party's primaries or
enrolling rs members of it, while
within the Republican party in many
states. as in Colorado on Saturday, the
regular faction triumphs over the Pro-
gressive faction. In addition to all
this is the news which the Republican
national campaign managers have that
their speakers in the West are having
large audiences. in some cases larger
audiences than Mr. Roosevelt himself.
I'm New York City it is admitted
that reports are unfavoraDle. But
New York is always behind the West.
II caught the infection long after the
West did. and the recovery here Will
come later. But there is sure to be a
time when the people will examine
sanely, as they are now doing in the
West. the coloners reasons for split
ting his party, consider the sort Of
campaign he is conducting and the
prospects of future usefulness Of a
party which is founded almost solely
upon the personal popularity of sin
Gle individual.

IN FOR 1T.

Having by his timely. or untimely,
visit 10 Syracuse injected himself into
the Democratic mix-up in this state, it
is hard to see how Governor Wilson is
going to work his way out. If he had
intended to live up to the rule which
some of his managers laid down for
him and not interfere in local concerns
iu any state he should not have con
scented 10 appear at the New York State
Fair. where he knew in advance that
ne would be brought into embarrassing
contact with BOSS" Murphy and Gov
ernor Dix. Moreover, he should not
have given out the militant Jim
Smith statement of September s, for in
that statement he made it clear that he
was intervening in the primary fight
for the Senatorial nomination not only
as the leader Of the New Jersey De
mocracy but also as the leader Of the
national Democratic party. Here is
what the Governor said in justifying
his public attack on Smith,
II is very distasteful TO me TO be
obliged TO make public comment upon
Mr.. Smiths candidacy but IL is an OBJ
legation which I cannot honorably es-
cape. Interests Of the greatest conse-
quence, both to the party and TO the
nation, are involved. and I cannot be
silent The fact that / am at pres
ent the responsible leader Of my party
I'm the nation as well as in the state
makes my duty all the more clear and
imperative.
After thus defining his own duty as
the responsible leader Of the Demo
cratic party in the nation he could
never hope to take refuge again be-
hind the convenient fiction that the &C
tivities of malOdorous bosses did not
concern him so long as they were in
other states than New Jersey. At
Syracuse Mr.. Wilson tried TO steer a
compromise course. BY apparent snubs,
shrugs and intimatiOns-all capable of
being explained one way by his own
partSanS and another way by the par
tisans Of Dix and Murphy-he manGu-
vred himself into position In which
he could subsequently say either that
he had manifested his opposition to
Murphy's leadership and Dix's renomi-
nation or that he had observed a chilly
but still technically correct neutrality.
His hostility was not open, but only in
ferential and although it may have
satisfied some of his anti-Tammany
supporters here it could not satisfy all
of Il m, nor did It tally with the prot
estations Of high sense Of duty whi2h
he had made in the Smith statement
less than a week ago.
II Is not surprising that "Tbe Even
ing Post" exclaimed after the Syracuse
performances I'VE are free 10 say that

demonstrates the unfairness OF the Bourne
domestic zone rates to the people of
the United States; and the very compre-
hensiye table OF rates he presents, show

the proposed zone rates in this country,
makes clear the discrimination In favor of
the foreigner, against our own people.
Then. as 10 the editorial I'm The Tribune
OF September 49, while Congress is TO be
commended for finally passing a parcels
post law, such as it is, 1t should have seen
to IT that the law would be a positive
benefit to the people BY adopting the hat
rate system at lower rates than those
proposed in the zone plan. First Assist
ant Postmaster General Grandheld is no
doubt correct in his assumption that there
will be a large net profit in the first
twelve months business. but no doubt Il

OF business which rightfully belongs to

Mr. Grandield is also correct in his
opinion that the charges for long dis
lance service are too high TO bring the
best returns. Here Is where the express
companies are particularly favored.
Again must l repeat that large por-
tion OF the enormous expense which the
Postoffice Department must incur in put
