There Would Be Some Excitement If All
the Laws Were Enforced.

In the April American Magazine, in
the department called "The Interpreters
House. appears an exceedingly able and
interesting discussion OF the police sIt-
uation in our great cities. Following
1 is an extract:
III the mayor and police of New York
should conspre to enforce for forty
| eight hours all the laws on the statute
book, indiscrimnatelv and without re-
spect of persons, there would be lurid
riot, and the militia would patrol the
streets. Doctor rarkhurst, Rabbi Wise
and Mr.. William Randolph Hearst might
grimly stand their ground a while, but
lit is ten to one that even they would
be swept into the temper of the mob
For instance, there is a law against
Sunday labor but should the observer,
church member and vestryman in regu-
lar standing, be hailed before the magis-
trate, though his clothesline on Sunday
afternoon proclaimed to all Harlem that
cleanliness is suppanting goodness? No,
We all instinctively fe4. that this ir-
regularity came within the purview of
his conscience and his rector Or, there
is law against gambling yet think
OF the strong arm squad descending upon
a bridge party and battering down the
doors!
Inevitably, the laws which do not
represent the common conscience of the
race must be applied with discretion
and discrimination. 1t is a misfortune
OF their unsound philosophy. Discre-
ton differs with executives. Mayor van
Wyck's discretion was unlike Mayor
Gaynor's. and both are unlike Mayor
Strongs, or Mayor Lows. If Doctor
Parkhurst were mayor. he would dis
erection" heavily in some directions and
lightly in Others. So would Mr.. Nc
Aneny, Mr., Tim Sullivan, bishop Greer,
or, for that matter. anyone. But as
long as this compulsory discretion ex-
ists,-as long, namely, as the four flush
statute conflicts with public opinion,-so
long the police, the working force of
the executive. will be subjected to more
severe temptation than society has any
right to put upon anyone. This is no
executives fault and no executive can
help it. These temptations would be
quite as urgent upon the New York po-
ice force if Doctor Parkhurst were may
II as they are now. They do not de-
,end upon the character, energy or in
entions of any mayor. They arise
inevitably arise--out of our hypocritical
md bungling philosophy of lawmaking.
At present, our great and powerful
titles are in theoretical bondage to
Vhatever general laws may be conceived

tinued until they left the house, and
with other students in the streets, gath

tempted to take the prisoner to the lock-

wake Of the procession. bowling epithets
at the officer, and Offering aid to the

Six Democratic Members Are

Approval.

of the democratic caucus was We'd

and currency committee Of the senate
was given time for further consid-
Grafton of the bill A practical
agreement by six democratic SEN
ators. half of the committee, and
hope for a final report within five or
six days, was reported to the demo-
cratic conference when it met We'd
nesday by Sen. owen and at his re-
quest the conference took no action.
Since the call for the conferences
was issued Senators Reed and O'Gor-
Senators Pomerene. Shafroth and
Hollis in support OF the administra-
ton measure despite their votes
against some of its provisions in the
committee. These six democrats
have virtually agreed on a bill which
meets the views of Pres. Wilson. This
measure will be taken before the
senate as soon as possible,
A further attempt to swing Sen.
his democratic colleagues was made
in meeting of democrats of the COM
mlttee after the conference, but Sen.
Hitchcock insisted that he could not
reconcile his views with the demands
of the president. Thursday the full
committee, democrats and republi-
cans, will meet, and another attempt
will be made to secure an agreement
among a majority.
If this fails it is probable that the
democrats and republicans will make
a unanimous report on those details
of the bill which all approve, and then
submit supplementary reports show
ing the senate their disagreement on
the fundamentals Of the bill. The re
publicans and Sen. Hitchcock have
announced their determination to
stand out to the last for the public
ownership Of the regional banks in
the new system, and for government
control Of these banks.

session but about half an hour Sen.
owen made a statement Of the sit
uation in the committee and six of
the seven Of the democrats were in
practical agreement. He declared
that five or six more days he believed
would give the committee time to
frame a report.
Without further discussion the con-
ference agreed to adjourn subject TO
the call Of the chairman.

Bryan by authority OF joint resOlu-
ton OF the federal congress.
The subject OF Mr.. ROe's address
was White Slavery and the Best
Methods OF Dealing With the Evil.
THE term white slavery has
broadened greatly in recent years, "
he said.
IN the past. efforts to deal with
the social evil problem were mostly
regulative," the speaker continued.
within the last seven years a new
method Of dealing with il has been
adopted. A scientific study has
brought about the adoption Of the at
titude OF constant repression as the
immediate method and absolute sup
preston OF cOmmercialized vice as
the ultimate ideal.
Parents To Blame.
Neglect by the parents in bringing
up their daughters is a big factor in
the making OF white slaves. Mothers
are often too busy attending clubs,
theaters and card parties to find time
to look after their children. Fathers
have a keener interest in their prop
critics than they have for the welfare
OF their daughters. They let their
children grow up like the weeds in
