A Case for the Superlative.

In a recent burst Of kindly enthusiasm the Hon.
J. Sergeant Cram said "GaynOr is certainly the
most competent we have ever had in the
Mayors chair" Like many other compliments this
one tells at least half the truth.
His Honor is certainly the most competent letter
writer heart-toheart advice gver haf-soled-while-

manners and White Way" frivolltv that New York
has known since Peter Stuyvesant. He has also
been the most indefatigabe experimenter Of MS
own or any other time in serums wherewfth to
inoculate "ragbag' press
Outside City Hall Mr.. GaynOr has been one OF
our greatest Mayors. If he could only have been
as unsparing Of foibes within the citadel Of govern
ment as he has been to the lapses Of the "ragbag
editors and the tango tea trotters. But genius Is
always likely to keep few skeletons in the closet
It may be also a mark of his superlative greatness
that 10 the virtues Of his administration he has
been the kindest and TO its faults the blindest OF
all the Mayors by whom Manhattan has been ruled

What Protection the Birds Need.

In the practtcal business OF meeting the expecta-
ftons of the American people in the federal protec-
tion Of all migratory birds DR.. T. s. Palmer of the
Biological Survey, Department Of Agriculture, now
has the centre Of the stage It is for him and his
advisers TO draft series Of regulations for the en-
forcement Of the Mclean law VIII he give the birds
1.-The full measure OF protection that the American peo-
pe as mass sincerely desire and expect, or will he
| give them what he thinks the "sportsmen' will ap-
prove? There is a wide difference between the two.
\ For twenty years adequate protection for game
HAS been refused quite generally throughout the
GlAngth and breadth OF this land because lawmakers
have been told over and over that "the sportsmen
won't stand for IT," Unfortunately the term
E"sportsmen" has been made TO embrace great
many killers Of birds and game who are not worthy
\ of being called by that name and never were Our
lawmakers have been carefully trained to believe
THAT the men who kill the sole dictators OF the
\ fate of the game birds and many others. Nine
Americans out of every ten to-day have in their
heads a well defined state Of mind which passively
comedies that the sportsmen. gnnners and game
hogs actually own all the game birds and may die

But every tenth man has learned differently. and
che day of reckoning has arrived. Ninety-fve per
cent of the birds game and not game. belong to the
people who don't shoot and never kill Whenever
they decide that there shall be no bird shooting any

cision will prevail. The real spOrtsmen will concur;

Discrediting the Gulf Stream.

sydney Smith once said that he had heard jeffrey
speak disrespectfuly Of the Equator, for which no
body who ever crossed the line in those days
could blame the famous reviewer. But here is Dr.
Nansen Arctic hero and professor Of oceanography'
in sober earnest discreditng the Gulf Stream.
The Gulf Stream, he tells really isn't the CUR
Stream at all That is to say. the vast sea Of warm
water which saves northwestern Europe from freez-
ing up is not at all the petty tuppenny-hapenny
dribet which trckles through the Straits of Florida
Just what It is or where It comes from he Is not
vet quite sure but he thinks it probable that at a
depth of 800 fathoms or thereabouts there Is warm
current flowing northward the whole Atan,c
broad which when it gets to the latitude where it
is needed bobs up serenely from below TO make the
British Isles and Scandinavia habitable
Maybe it is SO In that case IL is hardly worth
while for Representative Calder to bother any more
with his scheme for controlling the course Of the
Gulf Stream and for the relief OF Europe it may be
observed that any Yankee trick to put that CONT
nent into a hole by damming the Florida Straits
would be entirely futile wherefore, whatever hap
pens we shall not advocate that would-be spiteful
enterprise

his employer shall insure himself against
this payment. To compel an employer 10
provide security is one thing To dictate

other
Compulsory state insurance Is wrong
Il IS socialistic. Moreover II Is imprac-
ticable. II makes every careful employer

OF all the jargons which man in a spirit Of lazi-

plods along TO a chorus Of 1eers.

when used by lazy or uninteligent overworked
