For the Relief of General Sickles

Attorney General Carmody of New York writing to Mrs. Helen D. Longstreet widow of the famous confederate general to discourage her attempt to raise money for the relief of General Sickles who charge of embedding $23,OOO, points that the crime is which cannot be condoned.
 That might be stern but just view of the if the attorney general had stopped with it and had renderel it inconsistent by explaining fur ther that the had already dealt lenienty the aged general by postponing month after month criminal prosecution, thus allowing him time to restore the money
 Through all those months the state was winl<ng at what it now describes crime that be condoned, The delay by the state was allowe for the very purpose of giving the general time and opportunity to do just what Mrs. Longsrcet pro- poses to enable him to do-to restore the embedded funds
 A nice distinction must be drawn We must find in the absence O any law on the subject just how long crime may be wnked at and at what period Winking becomes unlawful conformation Certainly if the proposition of Mrs Longstreet had been made ahlf year it would have met with official objection. So, why should there be ob- jection now?
 There is another thing that ought to be taken into consideration, the of General SfcIes. He is ninety-two. Perhaps he was never of the temperament that would fit him custodian ship a fund. Anyhow at no time after he far beyond the age of four score was he fit for such trust.
 Again, when take account the gallant military services General SickIes We must sympa- thize with the movement Mrs. Longstreet to free this old hero from the shadow of the jail

 It only outrage committed against society, but also the sacred marriage was debased.

 Certainly. But any picture, be it a good painting or but photograph. is a greater miracle than the shadow would be shows us more of the original object than d shadow The very smile is there translating love; and the cury the lip The tingling traces of mood a thought that was swiftly a flash of lightning are transfiXed and held forever upon the the paper.

The Officer and the Gun

The Pima county grand jury. lately in special session adopted a resolution condemning the un- necessary use of deadly weapons by policemen and peace officers. The resolution called out by the recent killing of a stranger, perhaps hobo, by a policeman who shot him fatally while he was run ming away
 The average good citizen will endorse the resolution. We would not go so far as to advocate the disarming of officers while engaged in their official duties though in the case of policemen think that might frequently be done witohut dis advantage the service
 London is one of the most orderly cities in the world, though the policemen there armed with nothing deadler than clubs In New York, Chicago and other large American cities where every thug is probably armed, policemen could be placed in such unequal situation.
 The rigid enforcement of the law in England the certainty of punishment of severity to fit the crime, imbucd the criminal with respect for the law with deadly of it, which, for the purposes of government is the same thing, The members of the criminal element in London are generally not armed for the law says they be and the law what it says. There the criminal would ordinarily engage in such open violation of the law would be involved in resistance authority. In of large cities there is such respect for the law fear of it and the adequate punishment for crime is in frequent that the criminal is not afraid to take chances of escaping, either lightly. altogether,
 Therefore, think that the Pima county grand jury should have coupled with it's resolution. a strong recommendation to citizens who likely become trial jurors. that the law should always be enforced the strictcst letter. In that event criminals would know where they stand; they would govern themselves accordingly and there would be less need that peace officers should arm themselves the teeth; there would be less Hkc- hood that they would needIessly deadly weapons.

The cheerfulness of Mark Smith

It has been known of all Arizonians for many years that Marcus A. Smith is a genial gentle man. His genality has been unremitting and through it there have been at frequent intervals bright flashes e feared when he sent the senate that those surround ings his life would be saddened and would be qucnched.

An eXOrbtant assessment had been levied upon his property, his factory damaged by outrageous private of a public street, he unable to obtain ade- quate supply of water for his manufacturing pur- poses, he held up by an inspector who de- manded bribe, and subjected to other forms bad treatment In the Outlook of January 18 Raymond B. Fosdick. former commissioner of counts of the city of New York, without attempt ing to dispute the correctness of MT. Splane's assertions and criticisms, takes another point of view and proceeds to show how business are He gives a impressive array of facts, drawn from his own investigations while in office.
 That officials frequently prevented from performing efficient service, and that bribes often rendered with astonishing freedom and lack of conscience, one can deny. MT. Fosdick points out that important permanent changes will not be brought about merely by overthrowing boss or electing a mayor, passing charter, and in con- clusion he says After all, it is the citizens them selves-the manufacturers and merchants and busi- men-who. in the last analysis, determine the character the government.

 When 1 return from here Paris will seem just quiet old fashioned little town, with tiny, low houses; will any of its Fourteenth of July illuminations approach in briancy the phantasma- gorc display that may see in New York on any night of the year. Everywhere muticolored lights change and sparkle, forming letters, and then dissolving again. They fall in cascades from top bottom of the houses, in the distance seem to stretch in banners the streets.
 But it is up in the air that chiefly gazes despite all the noise that goes below; for up there the tops of the buildings are signs that move operated by ingenious mechanisms, visions that dance Among these there is Roman chariot race, in which gigantic horses furiously swing ing fire; umbrella maker displays brella thread manufacturer shows enormous yellow unwinding a reel of red fire; farther up Broadway tooth brush maker, the most grotesque of all has little devil with rolling eyes of fire who capers about in the heavens with toothbrush forty long in each hand.
 The apparitons flash out, move, fade away. quickly very quickly-so quickly indeed that the eye barely follows them From time to time enormous advertisement perched top d dark skyscraper, almost invisible in the mur<y at mosphere, breaks into flame like stelation hammers some name into your memory, then quickly vanishes.
