THE SMALL RETAILER.

One thing that the state food invcs-
tigating commission, Of which Mr.
William Church Osborn is chairman
is sure of is that the small retailer
OF food must give way 10 the more
economical food department store
But the small retailer has an obstinate
way Of hanging on. Take the purvey-
ing OF ice. for example. Surely this IS
a business which seems as If II could
be centralized. People do not suddenly
find that they are out Of ice at all
hours Of the day, as they find that
they are out Of sugar. salt, -four md
soap. And ice IS a substance Of which
there is great waste in carriage. Yet
though the small retailer Of Ice almost
disappeared q few years ago, there are
more of his kind to-day than there
have been for long time The Italian

With what DR.. Forbes Winslow says
concerning preventive measures how
ever. there will be hearty agreement
Il IS no more than rational for society
TO protect itself against the propagation
Of madness by discouraging ana even
preventing marriages the offspring OF
which are practically sure TO suifer
mental faint. If One-fourth of all mad
ness is directly caused by drink the
duty of society toward habitual drunk
ards IS clear, as II also Is toward the
proposed marriages Of persons VINO
have suffered attacks Of insanity. In
brief society-or the race. II that term
be preferred-needs to make NOT less
but more. progress. in self-protectioh as
we'll as in other respects. A balanced
ordered progress will not lead TO IN
sanity. no matter how great may be lts
material achievements. 1t Is In the
neglect Of one side Of it and the eXag-
ooration Of another that the evil lies.

PROGRESS AND MADNESS.

Dr. Forbes WinslOws remarks on the
prevalence and increase Of insanity call
10 mind the saying Of recent English
writer, DR.. Wrench, that "Neurasthenia
is the creation OF democracy or
course, neurasthenia and insanity are
not identical, but they may fairly be
regarded as allied, and Il Is not an un-
reasonable assumption that conditions
which promote the one also Incline tow
ard the other. The major part Of the
insanity which afllicts the world is of
nervous origin. That, at least, Is Or.
Forbes Winslow's view. II is where
the nervous strain Of business competi-
ton and of the effort To keep up with
the progress Of affairs is greatest that
mental unsoundness Is most increasing.
The chief direct cause is drink, to
which he attributes one-fOurth Of all
the insanity in the world. But drink
is largely an adjunct Of rush and worry
and oyerwOrk.
We should be most reluctant to ac-
cept the opinion OF DR. Wrench, that
demOcrscy-he means the democracy
Of constitutional mOnarchies As we'll as
Of repubics-is quite unable 10 value
intellectual work, and that the prog
ress" Of such nations as Great Britain,
Germany and the United states is en-
tirely materialistic and all on wrong
lines. The nations I.amed certainly
appear TO have cultivated literature
and the arts az least as much as others
In which democracy Is less advanced.
There Is undoubtedly vast material
progress, or materialistlc Much OF it
may be sordid. But amid It al there
Is no failure TO appreciate purely intel
lectual work. If neurasthenia does
rage in democracies. therefore, we are
not inclined TO cOncede that II does so
because they are democracics, or be
cause there is in democratic progress
anything essentially Incompatible with
nervous strength and with mental san
ity. 1t may be in progress that insan-
ity is largely engendered, but it is not
I'm democratic progress per SO.
Nor should we be inclined to admit
that ii is in real progress, but rather
in It's spurious and sophisticated forms,
that madness Is found. There have
been no men more sane than the great
inventors, promoters. capitalists. con-
structors and industrlalists who have
been and are the pioneers OF progress,
and OF material as well as intellectual
progress. The madmen are those who
strive TO keep pace in a march for
which they are not fitted, or who reap
the fruits Of progress In which they
have not first been laborers. Insensate
competition just for competitions sake
drives many to the madhouse but that
is not progress. indOlence.' instead Of
rational leisure, and excess of. luxury
are prolific causes of insanity; but
neither are they progress, but rather

THE SLAMMED DOOR.

The national committee Of the
Third Term party has steam rollered
the negro delegates from the Southern
States. But many of Mr.. Rooseyelts
followers are uneasy about IT, Some
of them. who have joined the move
ment as q step toward a larger democ-
racy, are sincerely shocked at Mr.
Roosevelt's sacrifice of principle to
curry favor with Southern white men.
Others. more practical, think OF the
half million or more negro voters In
states carried by the Republicans in
1904 or 1908, and ask if 1t Is worth
while TO ALLEVIATE them by the attempt
to invade hopelessly Democratic states.
But the Embossed delegates feel bound
to do nothing about It or anything else
except on explicit orders from the colo
mel.
Yesterday. at a meeting OF the New
York delegation, Professor Spingarn
attempted to smooth over the difficulty
with harmless academic resolution
recognizing the negrO's right TO voice
in his own government. He apparently
thought that by feeding the negroes a
few sweet words they would forget
bitter deeds and forgive their exclusion
from the convention. Nobody need
have been afraid Of such an empty
declaration. But Mr. Oscar Straus
asked If Mr.. Roosevelt had seen the
resolution, and though assured that ne
had and had approved it--as well nc
might. since it went no further than
the smooth gcneralities with which he
sucared his letter To Nr. Harris com

A RADICAL PARTY.

Dfspatches from Chicago describing

platform make It plain that the new
party is to be extremely radical. Most
OF the delegates have had little actual
experience in politics and have not
learned the practical difficulties in the
way of carrying abstract theories into
effect. They are more interested in de-
veloping plans for social justice than
in doing the political work which must
precede the popularizatiOn OF such
plans. Their point Of view, therefore,
Is that of the extremist, and their no.
lions Of political platform are more
advanced than would have been the
notions OF the rump convention OF Re-
publican delegates which put Colonel
Roosevelt Professionally in nomination
six weeks ago.
Events, too. in the world of politics
have added to the Progressive conven-
tons radicalism. II the conservative
Democrats had won at Baltimore ana
a moderate like Governor Harmon had
been nominated there, the third party
could have restrained its extremism. 1t
would have had the radical field TO
itself Even If q pseudO-radical like
Speaker Clark had been nominated it
could still have pre-empted that field.
But the choice Of Governor Wilson
through Mr.. BTyan's activities altered
the situation. Governor Wilson has
been something Of radical himself.
and the country will continue to think
Of him as one, even II for expedlency's
sake he begins to trim and halt in his
speech Of acceptance. In order 10
establish more sharply the status Of
the new party, Colonel Roosevelt and
the Progressive managers who echo his
thoughts have found 1t advisable to
Guido Mr.. Wilson In any possible drift
which he may exhibit toward state So
cialism They have determined 20

POLICE AND COURTS.

The aldermaniC Investigating colll-
mittee may well take up the question
at issue between Judge Swami ana
Police Commissioner Waldo, one Of
whom places the responsibility for the
failure 10 secure the conviction OF
gamblers on the police, while the other
nuts il on the courts. That is a strik-
ING statement which the Police Com
missioner makes regarding the num-
Der Of raids made on the gambling
houses Of Sam" Paul. In less than Il
year there were thirteen raids on those
establishments. Cases against the pI'is-
Oners arrested in two raids are pend
ing. All OF the prisoners arrested in
seven of the raids were discharged
either by the magistrates or through
failure of the grand jury to indict or III
the Court OF General Sessions. In the
other raids some Of the prisoners were
no case did a convicted gambler receive
n heavier sentence than a $50 fine, or,
10 put the figures In another way. the
thirteen raids resulted in the arrest
Of eighty-One persons. Of whom fifty
six were discharged and sixteen fined
$50 each. while the charges against the
remaining nine are pending.
On their face those figures show
police activity; but was II activity Of n
bona Gde sort? Even that number Of
raids on one mans gambling houses is
not Incompatible with the protection
Of the gambler by the police. They
may have been fake raids. The evil
dence may have been Of the fiimsiest
sort. especially designed 70 result In
the discharge of the prisoners. The
persons may have been small fry
whom no court would feel justified in
doing more than fininG. The fines may
have been the result Of pleas Of guilty,
arranged as a compromise because the
police purposeIy left weak spots in the
evidence. And then again. the failure
To secure more convictions may have
been due to an absurd and arbitrary
attitude Of magistrates and higher
Judges regarding the character of evil
dence insisted upon IN gambling cases.
The truth should he ascert2ined, be-
cause the responsibility for the failure
TO punish gamblers is now iuCgled
back and forth between the police and
the courts. Protection IS simple and
easy If the police can make frequent
raids and cover their traffic with law
breakers by an appearance Of activity
against them. If courts are unduly
technical. and thus render convictions
difficult 10 obtain, the farce Of lnces'
SAINT raiding is easier to keep up, for
/ the police can point to the whimsical
rulings Of judges as an explanation OF
! their failure.
