PEOPLES FORUM

Editor The Nirginian,
In witnessing the distressing happening OF
18th at Grosmans Siding, where two girls ana
their mode of travelling We're wiped away III
simultaneously. there is food for thought, as TO
the alienation or elimination as far as possible
of such crossings
These CROSSINGS should go above or octe"
each other, whenever possible and in the ma
iority OF cases it could be possible TO have this
done When the level crossing Is a1sc tutely
necessary. surely gong can De located there
or If much trafflc Waterman placed.
In solving the first suggestion. have apo mt
ed broad minded level headed mar. who mas

railroad company, or with the public highways.
who shall 20 to the location near which ta@
crossing must be- look the situation over thor
oughly and say where the crossing belongs.
thereby getting. very likely an overhead or
underneath crossing for the highway.
This would in reality save many lives lost
accidents etc and would be money n he ali
road companies pockets, saving damage suits,
etc
This man could be appointe: by he state
and act under the State Corporal ioa Com1nis-

Some OF us say, Who were these girls
and If they are not important people it likely
makes little impression. but these same II lie
girls were as dear to their people, as the de-

! 1t must be considered that the population of
New York is drawn from all quarters of the
Globe The police force likewise, comprises
almost every nationality More potent than
that the police force deals with the conditions
of foreign life, resulting from immigration, and
with domestic life, which happens from the
accretons to one locality of the desperate, the
vicious. and the venal of the city.
To speak of one locality is not absolutely
correct There are number of sections OF the
city which are practically given over TO vice
and to crime One of them. where the Rosen-
thai murder occurred lies in the Bowery; but
these zones are scattered all over the city
No one, naturally, could defend system that
lends the police to murder but II is as well TO
know certain facts respecting the way this
murder came about The best way We can
illustrate the peculiar circumstances is to state
the fact that strangers in the most vicious dis
triets of the Metropolis are. to all intents and
purposes, safe No dip" dares to go in their
pockets. No cut-throat or black-jacker dares
to exercise his trade upon them They walk
about, surrounded by gun fighters gamblers,
thieves and all the hotsam that goes 10 make
city unconcerned. unsuspecting and un-
harmed
But the credit should be given to corrupt
police, that they let it be known that those
who live in zone OF danger must take their
medicine Equally they let il be known that
ufghters. "dope-artists" etc will not be
tolerated in certain territories 1t is thus
who wish 10 live by the sword must prepare
to die by it. 1t is not lovely death But the
election and the understanding are clear
Mayor Gaynor must have had something like
this is mind when his comment on the killing of
the gambler confined almost entirely to
what the gambler himself had been Rosen-
thai signed his death warrant when he under
took against the pleasure of the police 10

tiers under whom he did business He was
participation in rotten game, and he elected
not to play fair He was killed.-~as he might
have known he would be killed
Police as murderers look an anomaly They
are. Purchase of murder in New York looks
the substitution in the life Of an imperial city.
| OF Arabian Nights conditions 1t is, What we
do not, in the quiet of average citizens suffl-
GENTLY understand is that an imperial city of
today means Congress OF the world, with all
its vices, its weaknesses. its hopeless or seem
ingly hopeless, paradoxes
We hope that the police consprators in
Rosenthals murder will be captured and pun
shed. 1t Is sad thing to consider that in
that event, the East Side will he utterly unable
to understand the cause and motive of all this
