oLD-T1ME BUNKo NAN
Type Of "Grand Central Pete" is Be.
coming Extinct.


(New York Worldly
In the passing Of Grand Central
Pete we note one more reminder of a
vanished time when bunko men were
artists in their way and when throng
OF coarse imitators had lot intruded
upon an eXacting profession.
Grand Central Pete was ALWAYS a
gentleman 1t was one of the secrets
of his success, as it was with others
of his finished school. Could Hun
cry Joe" ever have bunkoed Charles
Francis Adams if he were not a gem
tleman? Grand Central Pete never
got ugly or tried to use a knife or pis-
tol when arrested" knowing that
his appearance might be distasteful
to his victim. he preferred, if possible,
to take a brief vacation from the scene
of his labors when sought by the po-
lice. This ~philosophic placidity pre-
served him three years past the Scrip
tural term.
A more violent school of bunko men
has arisen which has not Grand Cen
trail Pete's distaste for broils and
movement was George Apo. son Of
a murderer n cursed with a strain
of insanity. who stabbed others and
attempted suicide, and who told the
Lexow committee how he "t'rew a
scare into his clients if they sought
to complain of being defrauded. So
have rough men always attempted to
make up by Drawn and buster for the
lack of delicate skill.
We doubt if there are many really
first-class bunko men now in active
life under their own names or an alias.
Men of the necessary qualifications are
now generally incorporated. They are
no longer individualistic.
Visitors" remarked the Crouch as
he paid his grocery bill, are uncer-
tain in some respects. but they always
have good appetites."

cummins Loses Hope.

Monmouth Atlas: Senator Cummfns
of Iowa has given up hope that the
Republican national committee will
call a national convention OF hat par
ty for the present year and therefore
feels that all his efforts have been in
vain.
Senator Cummins is fortunate in
having learned that his efforts to
bring the progressive and Republican
parties together are hopeless. In the
first place he should have known that
nothing the men who remained with
the Republican party last fall can do
will meet with the favor of the lead
ers in the progressive party. In the
first place T. is foolish for Republi-
cans to exert themselves TO secure the
return of members of the progressiyes
to their party. They say hey VIII not
and they will not come.
The Republican party has def
mite set of principles, plainly set
forth in its platform OF last year. Up
on that platform 1t mus. sink or
swim In the future.

TAFT ON THE RATE CASE.

Professor Taft, who as former
President and former Judge of the
federal courts, is qualified to take the
witness stand, declares that the decis-
ion OF the United States supreme
court in the Minnesota rate case is "a
great victory in principle for national
control" and that it affords congress
an unexampled opportunity to "ren-
der the control effective and uni
form" Professor Taft says:
The judgment of the court is a
bread declaration in favor of the
plenary power of congress to vest
the interstate commerce commission
and the federal courts, or some other
appropriate instrumentaiity with the
authority to restrict such improper
or prejudicial interferences with in
terstate commerce as the fixing by a
state railroad commission of merely
state rates may involve
1t is now the duty of congress To

time has come when protection of the

they are true then neither the Re
publican nor the Progressive has any
business with the reins Of govern
ment. To the victors belong the glory
as well as the spoils. They deserve
and should have both. But If they
are wrong, then there is but one party
which has persistently and consistent
lily fought their theories and their
policies.
II there is any reason for any par
ty to take the reins of government
from the Democratic party as things
now stand the Atlas fails to see that
reason. But If what we fear is COM

HOUSING AND HEALTH.

Tn much of the current discussion
of housing and city-planning the need
of basis of observed fact is appar-
emf A recent analysis by Chalmers,
the medical officer of Glasgow, OF con-
ditions in Glasgow is an important
contribution to the difficult problem
Of the relation of house-room TO
death-rate.
An examination Of the age distr1pu-
ton of the population OF Glasgow
showed that considerable proper
tion of the difference In the deatll-
rate recorded for dwellings of yari-
GUS sizes could be ascribed to the
large number OF children in the small
err houses. The number OF children
under 5 years constituted 10 per cent.
Of the total population living In one
room houses. IA per cent. in tWo-roon,
7 ner cent. In three-room and only 4
nor cent. in houses of four rooms and
inward Further analysis, however
ehowed that simple differences In age
distribution would not explain alto
gether the differences in death-rate in
bouses Of various sizes. Assuming a
standard age and sex distribution, i
was found that population OF 1oo,-
ooo with the Glasgow death-rate would
weld 2.024 deaths annually in one
room houses, 1889 in two-room. ,2oS
in tbree-room and 1902 in houses Of
four or more rooms, while in institu'
tions the deaths would number 3,sfa

monia. the higher rate fell on the

hand, We're apparently more prevalent
among the inhabitants OF the larger
houses. Chalmers regards the evi.
dence as showing that the children
born In the smaller houses are from
the start under a serious physical
handicap which Is related to some ex.
tent to the food-supply. This could
be traced to the prevalence In this
group OF various forms OF disease OF

the influence Of the birth surroundings
did not wholly disappear. but these
were obscured by the influences OF
adult life, which, as in the case OF
diseases Of the nervous system, tend
ed to become degenerative in type,
and appeared more frequently among
the occupants OF houses OF larger
size"
Whether or not these particular
conclusions are found to be generally
valid, it will be recognized, says the
Journal of the American Medical AS
ISOLATION, that the careful scrutiny
and statistical analysis on which they
are based is the only method likely to
lead to permanent results. In a word

JUDGES AND OYSTERS

A trial judge should keep his "jud-
ic1al mouth" shut, and It is improper
for him to say to an attorney, in the
hearing of the jury, that his case is
infamous, and that his client shall
never have Judgment. This accord
ing to the case of Edwards vs, Mt
Hood Const. Co. 100 Pacific Reporter.
80, where the court says:
The writer knows from experience
on the circuit bench that it is some
times very difficult for a Judge to re-
Train from making comments on a
case during the progress of the trial.
and especially where an apparent in
justice seems TO have been perpetrat-
ed; but after reversal or two, oc-
casioned by the practice, he con-
Guided to go, not to the ant, but to
the meek and lowly oyster, to con-
slider its ways and be wise, and to
keep the judicial mouth shut He

oyster to all trial Judges

congress has passed the act relat-
ing to proof Of signatures and hand
writing, which was devised for the
purpose of doing away in the federal
courts with the ancient rule of EVIL
dence to the effect that no genuine
specimen of handwriting not already
IN the record, or that is not otherwise
relevant, can be introduced as a basis
for comparison in cases involving dis
puted handwriting. This amendment
rs particularly important as affecting
criminal trials in the federal courts.
As was pointed out by ex-Attorney
General Wiekersham, the federal
courts were governed on this point by
the state law in effect at the time
OF the admission of the state. In
most OF the states, the rule has been
amended; but this left the federal
courts operating under the ancient
practice
