H BECKER TRIAL.

Lieutenant Becker, a member of
the New York police force, is now
on trial for completely in the murder
of a gambler named Rosenthal. The
charge is that he contrived the MUIR
der, selected the assassins, and prom
ised them the powerful protection
of the police force to save them from
the consequences Of their crime.
The case is of unusual interest be-
cause Becker is not alone on trial.
The police force of the city is on
trial. Existing forms Of municipal
government in that and other cities
are on trial. If the state conten-
tion in the Becker case is true, then
the city whose employee he is, is of all
places in the world the one place
where human life is peculiarly un-
safe. For where the guardians of
life and property turn thieves and
cut-tbroats, there anarchy exists in
its most hateful form.

CAMPAIGN BOOKKEEPING.

1t appears from the reports before
the committee Investigating cam
paign contribution, that no accur-
ate system of bookkeeping was en-
ployed by the campaign managers.
When the campaign was. closed the
managers seemed in a hurry to de-
story the records. Congress should
enact a law requiring of them a
strict system Of accounting, and the
accounts should be kept for the in
spection Of congress.
True, no statute can keep a man
from. making false entries in books,
but a set of books dishonesty manip-
ulated can not always stand the ex-
animation of experts. II has been
the theory Of the recipients of cam
paign funds that all The transactions
between payer and payee in that
connection were Of a private nature
and should be guarded as such. The
theory of the people nov is that such
things should not be private.
Publicity in campaign contribu-
tiOls is what we are after in these
days. Hereafter it will not be per-
mitted to the man who" comes
across with a half million. or so, to
hide his light upder a bushel.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER IL. 1912.
GRAPES OF THcRNs.

The Wall Street Journal points out
the fallacy Of the theory that wars
in foreign countries help American
investment. 1t calls attention to
the fact that no foreign wars of re-
cent years have really helped Amer
lean business.
"A very great teacher said many
years ago that men do not gather
grapes of thorns and figs of thistles.
Things that are harmful to large
masses of men can not in the nature
of things be helpful to other large
masses of men.
A general war in Europe, taking
large numbers of men from produc-
tive employments, and laying waste
large areas of country, might per-
haps create an unusual demand for
foodstuffs produced by the farmers
in this country. Prices Of bread
and meat might soar for the pro-
Queer, but they would also soar for
consumer here, and the distress
among the people who do not pro-
duce foodstuffs would be as great in
this country as in the lands devas-
tated by war.
A country in the thrOes of a great
war can never be an ideal customer
for American products. 1t must in
deed buy food and war material for
its armies, but on that account it
can not be a buyer Of other things.
Every dollar it can command must
90 to the support and equipment Of
its armies and nayies. What we
could sell to other nations in those
things would be more than offset BY
loss of trade in other things. Even
the producer Of foodstuffs and war
material must in the long run suffer
from the general decentralization OF
trade.
Macaulay once declared that a
declaration Of war between any two
great powers must mean worldwide
distress that would be felt from the
Congo to California; and he was
right.
Surely the Great Teacher knew
whereof he spoke when he said men
do not gather grapes of thorns or
figs of thistles.

%"GoLD-BRICK" POLITICIANS

Roosevelt had sold him a gold brick,

What assurances have the Ameri-

that Quay bought from Finn and
Hartman bought from Roosevelt
AS a matter of fact, is not the whole

CASEY AT THE BAT.

baseball season, and has v~ariously
been attributed to William Shakes

Life.)
The outlook wasn't brilliant for the
Mudville nine that day;
The score stood four to two with but
one inning more to play.
And then when Cooney died at first
and Barrows did the same.
A sickly silence fell upon the pa
irons of the game.
A struggling few got up to go in deep
despair. The rest
Chung to that hope which Strings
eternal in the human breast;
They thought if only Casey could get
a whack at that
We'd put up even money now with
Casey at the bat.
But flynn preceded Casey, as did al
so Jimmy Blake.
And the former was a lulu and tn
latter was a cake;
So upon that stricken multitude
grim melancholy sat,
For there seemed but little chanr
of Casey's getting to bat.
But Flynn let drive a single, to the
wonderment of all,
And Blake, the much despised, tore
the cover off the ball,
And when the dust had lifted. and
the men saw what had occur
red,
There was Johnnie safe at second
and Flynn a-hugging third.

Then from five thousand threats or
more there rose a lusty yell
1t rumbled through the valley; it
ratified in the dell;
1t knocked upon the mountain and
recoiled upon the flat,
For Casey. mighty Casey, was ad-
vancing to the bat.
There was case in Casey's manner az
he stepped into his place;
There was pride in Casey's bearing
and a smile on Casey's face.
And when, responding to the cheers,
he lightly DOTTED his hat,
No stranger in the crowd could doubt
twas Casey al the bat.
Ten thousand ayes were on him as
he rubbed his hands with dirt:
Five thousand tongues applauded
when he wiped them on his
shirt.
Then while the w%rithing pitcher
ground the ball into his hip,
Defiance cleaned in Casey's eye, o
sneer curled Casey's lip.
And now the leather-covered sphere
came hurting through the
air,
And Casey stood a-watching it in
naughty grandeur there.
Close by the sturdy batsman the ball
UNDECIDED sped

From the benches, black with peo-

And it's likely they'd have killed him

With a smile Of Christian charity

He stilled the rising tumult; he babe

He signaled to the pitcher and once
more the spheroid flew;
But Casey still ignored il and the
umpire said: Strike twoi"
