CO-OPERATJON.

The controversy between Police Com
missioner Waldo and Judge Mulqueen Is
an acute stage of a difference which
seems always TO exist here between the
police and the Judges of the inferior
criminal courts. It is not confined 10
any one Judge or police official. It's man
ifestations at times seem almost 30 indi-
cate that the courts and the police are as
antagonistic as the police and the criml-
nails they arraign are supposed to be.
1t is no credit to either department of
the public service that this should he so.
In the present case the attitude Of Judge
MulQueen is distinctly unfortunate. The
police may have inaccurate records Of
criminals or suspected criminals. They
may make mistakes in their arrests and
arrangements of priSoners-freQuently
they do. being merely human beings.
Yet il is hard TO see the 'impertnence'
of Deputy Commissioner Dougherty in
sending to the judge at Commissioner
WaldoS direction the data in the Police
Department records bearing on the past
performances of prisoner up for sen
tence. II might rather he deemed the
action Of a careful public official desir
Gus of seeing that the Judge had avail
able all possible material bearing In any
degree on the prisoners career before
passing sentence. This prisoner. to be
sure, was to he sentenced for a specific
offence with which the Police Depart
ment records may have had no direct
connection. Yet Judges have always
taken into consideration the general ca
reer of q. criminal in determining the
severity Of punishment. Commissioner
Waldo unQueStionably had this process
in mind Just as did the prosecutor who
protested against Judge Grains parolng
louis the Lump gang leader and man
killer, in custody of his counsel after
setting aside a previous forfeiture Of
that individuals bail. Louis the Lump
thus relieved Of financial responsibility,
promptly disappeared, as the prosecutor
feared.
Cooperation in the task Of protecting
the law-abiding from the criminals, not
constant squabbling and pickering. should
characterize both judges and police Of
fcialS.

4 VOWEL pPEDTCAUENT.

The locomotive engineers in the East
crn district who want TO 90 on strike
for higher wages find themselves in
novel predicament. They can't discover
an innocent byStander whom they can
elect in advance 10 pay the cost of the
strike. and in the absence Of such
victim all the rules which govern an
ordinary wage contest between en-
poyes and employers have TO be sus-
pended. The would-be railroad strikers
must look with envy on the coal miners
now out on a pacific strike The
miners and the operators find diversion
in a good-humored discussion Of their
differences. for both sides know that
the amusement isn't going to cost them
anything They have the fatted calf all
ready for the celebration which is to
follow their brotherly reconciliation.
The price of coal is boosted enough to
cover the increase in wages and the loss
due to suspension, and everything goes
along as merrily as "Big Tim" Sulli-
van outing. except for the unlucky con-
sumers who have 10 keep their coal
bins filed.
But the railroad engineers and the rail
road managers do not stand in that
happy relation to the outside world.
The people who ship freight and pay
passenger fares are not in the predca-
ment Of the poor coal buyer They don't
have TO furnish the veal for the reunion
feast. and both the engineers and the
railroad managers are well aware Of
that fact The railroads are not unwill-
ing TO concede that there would be some
merit IN the engineers demands If the
added expense Of granting them could

do not quarrel with the logic of the

The report Of violent and disastrous

no anxiety for the safety of the canal

feet high and one Of nearly dozen eX-
tinct volcanoes i'm that part of the Cor
dlllora. They have all been quite dead,
10 all appearances, as far back rs history
runs. Indeed. geological authorities have
declared that not one has been active
since the Plocene Tertiary period. Yet
the same range Of mountains little

with volcanoes and solfataras of marked
activity. Turrialba had an eruption or

Of Poas had one of memorable violence
in 1894. There IS nothing at all remark

move into rooms until they have been fumi-
gated. unless he knows that the former oc-
cupants have for at least two years been
free from all communicable or infectious
diseases The writer knows of house In
Brooklyn that has been occupied by diff
ferent family every year for at least six
years and there has been death from
consumption I'm those rooms every year.
Many families move into different house
