NEW YoRY clrYs DISGRACE.

The New York Sun tells OF two
gangs OF desperadoes who have dur.
ing the past ten days terrorized the
lower east side. fought a number OF
street tights, killed and wounded sew
eral men and are still engaged in the
merry practice OF potting each other
at sight. One gang is headed by a
gentleman who goes by the name OF
Big Jim Zeling." and the leader OF
the opposing gang is the DISTINGUISHED
Tom sirocco." The gangs maintain
themselves by terrorizing saloons.
gamblers, houses OF prostitution.
opium dens. and other Illicit resorts
throughout the sections in which they
operate. Occasionally one gang in.
vades the territory OF another and
thus the gang war begins. The police
have made many arrests. but strange
to say. the police are unable to find
sufficient testimony on which to con.
vict these known criminals. Incl.
dentally a few entirely innocent and
perfectly respectable bystanders have
been plugged by the bullets from the
gang guns.
The story told by the Sun reads
like a tale OF eastern romance. Il is
hard to believe that in these matters

does can flourish. fight. defy the law.
all with impunity. yet that seems to
be exactly the situation. Gang rule
and gang law has taken the place of
police rule and Court law in certain
portions Of New York City. 1t is very
clear that municipal government in
the United States has not been alto
gether success, but probably its
most miserable failure has been in the
great City of New York. Where is
the civic spirit? Where is the munici-
pal pride Of the decent citizens OF
New York City; that they allow the
continued exploitation of crime by
armed thieves and murderers?

AMERICAN UNIVERSITY LIFE

In Golfers Magazine, Mr.. VIII Irwin
has been publishing studies OF the
college life as seen in our great uni
versitles. The late issue is devoted
TO Yale College. and among other
things Mr.. Irwin has made the dis
covery that many students go through
Yale College without even opening
a text book" except possibly at chapel
hours. The first two or three years
OF life at Yale are devoted 10 desper.
ate efforts TO obtain some recognition
in some Of the college institutions:
such as connection with the Yale
News, membership in one OF the three
bophomore societies. and lastly the
GROWING ambition of membership in
one OF the three senior societies. Ac-
cording TO Mr.. Irwin. Yale life is
dominated by the three senior socie-
ties. Skull and Bones. Scroll and KEYS.
and VOLTS Head Each OF these So
cieties elect fifteen members annually
and the ambition 10 enter these so.
cieties is The dominant force in Yale.
rather than the ambition to excel in
academic work or even sports. In a
smaller measure. membership in the
leading sophomore societies and their
kindred organizations is as earnestly
sought.
The picture OF Yale life contrasts
strongly with the American concep-
ton OF the school OF learning. Jas.
A. Garfield one said that his idea Of
university was Mark Hopkins on one
end OF one log and the student on
another. How different an insuitu,.
ton in which the petty ambition 10

A REWARD FOR COLONEL ooReAs

Bills have recently been introduced
into the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives looking to the reward OF
Colonel Goethals by authorizing his
appointment as an additional major
general, and, in the discretion of the
President, providing for his assign
ment as chief of engineers. This prop
osition suggests several comments, the
first of which is that it makes no pro.
vision for the reward of Colonel Cor
gas 1t is also defective in that its
provisions depend in part on a con-
tingency which Congress cannot con-
troll, because the selection of the chief
of engineers is constitutional func-
ton of the executive.
1t is now recognized by all well in
formed persons that the sanitation of
the isthmus was as essential to the
success of the canal construction as
was the surrounding of the engineer
ing difficulties, and. of the two
sets of problems involved. the
sanitary problems were newer
and along less well beaten paths than
were the engineering ones. While
Colonel Goethals is the administrative
head of the commission, he and Col
onel Gorgas have at present the same
military rank. The applications OF
engineering science to canal con-
struction have no intrinsic precedence
over those of medical science to the
new and complex questions of tropi- |
cal sanitation; 1t would seem, there
fore, that there should be little or no
difference in the value of the rewards
given the two, and it is appropriate
that they be provided for In the same
act.
There are some other considerations
which might we'll be kept in view
when such legislation is under consid-
grafton. The work is great ma
ional enterprise which is apart from
he usual activities Of army officers,
md in no way connected with army I
administration. The reward should

BEAR Roes WAGON
AS FARMER DRIVES.

(Sunbury. Pa, Telegram to the Phila.
delphia North American)
When Charles Johnson, a farmer,
living near Seven Kitchens, was driv-
ing to this place with load of po-
tatoes, he heard some animal trotting
along behind his wagon and thought
1t was another team. At wide part
of the road he turned to the right,
thinking he would let the team pass.
When nothing passed Johnson look
ed around and saw big black bear.
1t had torn open one of his bags and
was helping itself to his potatoes,

ted along.

corps who have borne the burden of
the routine but important work, with
out the incentives of increased pay
and public applause, may not be called
on to give their own eve lamb of
promotion as contribution to the ma
TONS gift.
| Again, the officers Of the military
service are usually compelled by the
requirements of their life to live UP
to their incomes, and when they die
their families are left without decent
provision. A major-general's widow
receives the munificent pension of $50
month. 1t would, therefore, be fit
ting that there should be added to the
military promotion in rank a dona-
ton of money, as is the custom of the
British government, so that the gen.
erosity of the nation could be applied
by the recipient to the needs of those
who are dearest to him.
A major-generalship with cash do
nation, says the Journal of the Amer
icah Medical Association, would be
the most appropriate form of reward
for each of these distinguished men,
and the act should also provide that
after their retirement the President
should be authorized to place them on
active duty with full pay and allow
ances whenever their advice or as
sistance is required on engineering
and sanitary questions.
