WHOSE HEAD WILL PROVE 1T?

This is the most orderly town, on
earth To say otherwise is sedition. He
who remarks on the recent frequency Of
hold-ups and murders has vice and crime
in his head. And precisely because the
police are so strikingly efficient and sue
cessful the public is engaged in specu-
lating as to which one Of the Police De
partment heads will be removed and re-
placed by some other under whom the
safety Of life and property, always ex-
traordinary since the present admins
tration began, will continue to be ex-
traordinary Will Waldo go-Waldo,
who, far from the reach of inquisitors,
is resting from his arduOus labOrs In
keeping this the most orderly city in
the world? Or will Dougherty GO
Dougherty who bears the full brunt of
public gratitude and who explains how
the city might be still more safe and
orderly If the burden Of proof were
shifted and the police were able to put
every man who couldn't prove that he
was not a crook at work on the stone
pile?
The logic of such inquiries may seem
most unusual, but 1t has always been
observed that when assurances were
thickest regarding the pre-eminence Of
this city as a resort Of virtue, and
when statistics proved most convincingly
that crime was diminishing to the point
where It promised totally to disappear,
then changes in the administration of
the Police Department almost invari-
ably came. Nothing supports such as
surances and statistics like decapitation
Of the man or men by whom the miracle
is being brought about. And when
hold-ups seem frequent, ''sedition" is
rampant and vice and crime fill the ieS'd
brains Of the multitude, that is when
decapitation furnishes the most crushing
rejoinder to the slanderers and libellers
of New York. A new demonstration of
the triumphant success Of the police is
called for, and this sets the public to
specializing over the relative eligibility
Of Waldo and Dougherty to furnish It,

ENDER TILE RlN.

The South Carolina Legislature has
passed and Governor Blease has signed
an anti-racetrack gambling bill which
will put an end TO the experiment Of win
ter horse racing at Charleston. When
the Florida Legislature last spring drove
the winter track gamblers out Of Jack
sonville they moved over TO Charleston,
having discovered that no law existed In
South Carolina by which they could be
punished for public bookmaking. Charles
ton seemed at first disposed TO welcome
the Jacksonville refugees, who talked,
as usual, about bringing money into the
city and adding to its attractions as Il
winter resort. But Charleston has evi-
IDENTIFY discovered, as has every other
American city so approached, that the
promises of the gambling fraternity are
delusive and that no substantial benefit
can result from giving them license 10
prey on one another and on the public
Decentralization inevitably follows in
the train of horse racing for gambling
purposes, and small city is likely to
feel its effects more promptly than a
larger one Encouraging the idea In any
community that something can be got
for nothing by merely visiting race
trek stimulates idleness, shiftlessness
and crime, and every city I'm this coun'
try which has suffered for a time IN
that manner has eventually learned the
lesson.
Occasionally a lament IS heard here
abouts that former racing parks have
been cut up into building lots But tho
city as a whole has gladly forgotten that
such an unwholesome diversion as public
racetrack gambling was ever permitted
| here or that thousands Of people once
deuded themselves with the idea that
such gambling was a natural feature OF
legitimate sport. That the Hughes
legislation killing racetrack gambling
was. in every public sense beneficial is
proved by the fact that New York's ex
ample is now being initiated in Charles

SERLOrs RoRK IN MEXICO.

The assurance that the situation in
Mexico is improving and is now much
better than it was week ago is to be
received with hearty qualification. At
the same time it must be regarded as a
somewhat lurid suggestion Of what the
situation recently was. For, according
10 the most circumstantial and authori-
tatiye accounts which are obtainable,
the state of affairs is still very bad. In
surgents, who are avOwed revolution
lists. are operating in two-thirds Of the
states, in all parts Of the republic, and
there are strong indications that they
have the common aim of driving Mr..
Madero from the Presidency and put
ting Mr.. Gomez in his place. Their
methods Of warfare, as also those Of
the federal troops which are arrayed
against them, are harsh to an extreme
degree. We hear of railroad wrecking
OF wholesale incendiarism. OF campaigns
of determination in which no prisoners
are taken, and of ''reconcentration"
system, under which women and chill
dren are herded in prison camps. We
are not sure chat any more serious con"
dition was reported during Mr.. Madero's
campaign against President Diaz.
1t is TO be hoped that the situation
will continue TO improve and that the
complete restoration of order will soon
be announced For the present condi-
ton Is costly to Mexico and annoying
10 the United States Quite apart from
the considerable interests of American
investors and industrial operators in
Mexico, II is a serious thing to be COM

JUSTICE HARLAN's SUCCESSOR.


In selecting Chancellor Pitney, Of New
Jersey, to fill the vacancy in the Supreme
Court caused by the death of Associate
Justice John VI. Harlan President Taft
has followed his excellent rule of pre-
ferring men In the prime of life for SER
vice on that bench. Chancellor Pitney
has just entered his fifty.tifth year and
apparently has long period of activity
ahead of him. He has also had expert
ence qualifying him In a high degree for
a place on the Supreme bench. He was
Representative In Congress for four
years and also served term of three
years in the Senate of New Jersey.
While a member Of the latter body he
was nominated in 1901 to be a justice
of the New Jersey Supreme Court, and
in 1908 he was transferred to the Office
OF Chancellor Of the Court of Chancery.
Both in public affairs and legally he has
had a thorough training. AS o man and
jurist he enjoys the high esteem Of
the people of his state, and his selection
ought to give universal satisfaction.
The confirmation of the new Justice
will restore the Third Judicial Circuit to
representation in the Supreme Court
That circuit. including New Jersey, Penn
sylvania and Delaware, has furnished
many eminent associate justices, but
since the retirement of Mr.. Shiras, in
1903, 1t has been without a justice of
Its own. Through Mr.. Pitney's appoint
ment the representation of the various
circuits will become a little more evenly
balanced. Had Judge Hook or Mr..
Nagel been selected, the existing status
OF inequality would have been main
tanned and three of the nine circuits
would still have been left unrecognized.
Justice Harlan's death has reduced the
number Of justices appointed from the

THE COLOMBIAN INCIDENT.

There will probably be q general incll-
nation to accept the assurance that the
Colombian Minister intended no insult
nor offence of any kind to the American
government or TO its Secretary of State
personally in the somewhat remarkable
letter which he wrote last week about
Mr.. Knox'S purposed visit to Colombia,
or in the still more remarkable manner
of it's publication. The infelicity OF his
conduct must he regretted, but 1t is
something with which his own govern
ment may properly be left to deal Some
indulgence must be granted for Mr.. Os-
pina's impulsive temperament for his
chagrin at not having been able TO con-
vert the American government to the
Colombian view, and for the temptation
to improve an unrivalled opportunity OF
exploiting his estimate Of our relations
with his country. OF course, the COM
parative smallness or weakness OF ma
ton would be no justification of imperu-
nence, any more than greatness and
strength would be justification Of
tyranny and oppression.
The action Of the Bogota government
in the premises will be awaited with In
terest. as OF more consequence than the
minister's letter; but 1t is scarcely to be
expected that 1t will be unfayorable TO
the plans of Mr.. Knox. If it were, that
gentleman might regret his inability to
extend his tour so as to include the in
teresting city Of Bogota; but even that
would not be an inevitable cdsas belh.
There are plenty Of other capitals of
countries bordering the Caribbean where
he will be cordially welcomed. In any
case, there seems to be no occasion for
excitement. The United States has none
but the most benevolent sentiments tow
ard Colombia. and 1t is not to be be-
lieved that Colombia desires unfriendly
relations with the United States.
