Mr. Roosevelt has peculiar claims 10

campalcns. However his present attl-
tudp NAV he regarded, no American clti-
zen ought TO feel the slightest sympathy
with noisy manifestations of personal
disrcspect for a man who has been
twice President of the United States,
who In that Office rendered services OF
great and lasting value to the country
/ and whose past at least Is secure.
! The Tribune has felt compelled during
the last three or four months to oppose

70 condemn as vigorously as it could
some of the policies which he has sup
ported. But we have not gone beyond
the limit of fair political attack and we
shall not stoop to do so hereafter. II
some of our readers, still burning with
admiration for Mr.. Roosevelt, even IN
his abandonment of the party to which
he owes so much and which has owed
so much to him. are disposed for the
moment TO believe that The Tribune

10 a quiet recollection Of what it has
actually said and dispassionate perusal
Of what it will continue to say.

Ny servants have each a single room with
two large windows. their own bath and

given them. They are given vacations Of
two weeks. with full pay. They have regu-

them money at Christmas, but with only

4 DTBTOTS PROJECT.

\ ten-millon-dollar expenditure by
the city for a wholesale market calls
for more consideration than has been
given to the GanSevoort project, which
the Sinking Fund Commission has Just
authorized. The only purpose that would
Justify such an expenditure would be
to cbeapen the cost Of handling articles
of food in this city, and so lower the
cost Of living. Politicians in office would
probably like to be able TO point TO a
ten-million-dollar undertaking for this
purpose as evidence Of their determine
ton to reduce the City's food bills; but
IS there any reasonable ground for
thinking that the present plan would
really accomplish anything toward
cheapening food?
There seems 10 he less reason for OK
Meeting IL to do this than for expecting
1t TO serve the purposes Of certain cold
storage interests and furnish quarters
at low rent TO wholesalers who would
nevertheless continue TO charge high
nrices for their commodities. The city :
experience with its investment in retail
markets has not been such az 10 IN

Republican convention. which adjourned

TECHNTCALITTEs AND INSANITY.

TECHNIC1LIJJES AM INSANII 7.
Justice Keogh yesterday had occasion
to rcbukc the Thaw lawyer for the con
slant Interruptions by means Of which
he sought To balk Mr. Jeromc's efforts
TO exhibit Thaw's mental weakness un-
der examination on the witness stand.
The incident calls attention 70 the alb
surdity of applying the technical prac-
tees and rules Of criminal procedure
in testing a persons sanity. The inter
ests of society should certainly be para
mount in determining whether or not n
person held as a homicidal maniac Is tit
to be at large. for the safety Of the pub
lie from murdcrOuS outbreaks is at stake.
| Yet for the greater part Of a day cOun-
sci was able by diatory practices and
| inCesSant technical Interruptions TO in
terfere with the plan Of the states rep
rcsentativc TO exhibit the witness s
true mental condition 10 the court. The
court would he justified in taking into
consideration i'm reaching its conclusion
the obvious fear Of counsel TO submit
his clients mental state TO a rigorous
test on the witness stand.
But in these cases the public Is en-
titled to have the whole truth and not
merely 50 much Of the truth as tcchni-
cal rules Of evidence permit and the
reSourcefulncss Of counsel succeeds in
obtaining. II is absurd that rules regard
ing privileged communications which ap-
ply To criminal cases should be held TO
exclude pertinent facts in an inquiry
whose purpose is 10 determine whether
a man is sane or not Thaw's threat to
kill his wife is an important piece OF
evidence of the persistence Of his homi-
cidal tendencies since his confinement
Yet it was brought out I'm this case only
through a blunder Of his own counsel
1t had been repeatedly excluded as
privileged between husband and wife
1t must he an extraordinary privilege to
he threatened with death, And judicial
processes must he extraordinarily bound
up with red tape if they cannot get
away from II in sanity inquiries.

lIETICO'S OPPORTUNTTY.

PaScual OrOzcO may or may not be
sincere In bis profession Of motives for
surrender. He may realize that he was
led aStray by misrepresentation and
that the Madero administration is and
has all along been worthy of confidence
and support That Is what he says. He
may, on the other hand, realize merely
that he is beaten in a hopeless cause
and that surrender IS the best way out
Of his predlcament. That is what some
will suspect.
II does not greatly matter The essen
tial thing Is that his surrender will prac-
tically put an end TO rebellion which
little while ago seemed OminOus and
will both materially and morally con-
firm in authority an administration
which, whatever its faults and imperfec-
tiOns, is the only constitutional and
lawful government in that country. The
prime need of Mexico is not so much
this or that governmental policy as Il
more secure establishment Of the prin-
ciple of constitutional government itself.
Nevertheless. while this is being first
Of all looked after the other should not
be neglected. for the reason that cot

Of constitutions government is b. give
