New York Graft.

Some strange facts have come to light
In the course OF the investigation into
New York graft conditions, but one of
the most peculiar is that when man
Starts to do business along lines Tor
Which others are paying graft to the
police and undertakes to get along With
out cont. ibuting to the police funds he IS
reg irdeJ as stealing" For example, one
man who has appeared before the grand
jury to testify frankly acknowledged that
he had been stealing for several
months in tie course Of his conduct of a
hotel of doubtful repute. saving graft
money while others were paying 1t lib
orally to the police. 1t was not until
another police officer was put in charge
OF the precinct that he was obliged to
. come across Then he stopped steal
ing and began paying.
This is an instructive commentary upon
the utter Generalization that the New
York police graft has caused To regard

Washington Boswells.

From the B06tOn IIaHecripts - ~ssFTfS~
with all due respect to the President
of the United States, and best wishes
for the success OF his administration, 1t
appears to US that many chroniclers of
Washington dispatches are working the
NEW broom" simile more than eight
hours a day. President Wilson begins
very much as his predecessors have be-
gun. Those actions OF his which We are
told are unprecedented are, almost with
out exception, the commonplaces OF new
executives. We are informed. for exam
pie, by the Boswell trust that Mr.. Will
son had his breakfast on inauguration
day at sos am, thus breaking the rec
ord. Inasmuch as many Presidents have
begun the business day at the White
House at am. and some even earlier,
they must, assuming that they let diges-
their matutinal meal quite as early as
did Mr.. Wilson. The fierce light that
beats upon the presidential chair may
have been misdirected by the operator,
whom we must nevertheless credit with
having caught Mr.. Wilson in the very. act
and fact of taking in his shoes from the
hotel corridor, where they had been LETT
over night to be polished. II the ops
orator will throw the beams Of his search
light into the ways OF our history-and
he need not touch the abysm Of time-he
will discover much that he thinks is new
is old. Other Presidents have referred
patronage to department heads: other
Presidents have, after making this refer
ence. been constrained within q few days
to confer with senators regarding par
|ticuIar appointments" as did Mr.. Wilson
with Senators Swanson and Culberson.

Lipton's Challenge Rejected.

IT. is i'm a measure disappointing that
Sir Thomas Lipton's latest challenge for
the Americas cup has been rejected by
the New York Yacht Club ON the ground
that the challenger seeks to limit the
length of the competing yachts to sew
enty-fy feet load wate- line length.
Yet 1t is not surprising that this action
was taken by the Organization which
now holds the cup and which is in con-
troll OF the competition. Six years ago
it rejected similar challenge by Lip
ton, who then named eighty feet as the
limit Of the yacht length. and it was
hardly to be expected that II would now
grant a race for an even smaller vessel.
Under the deed OF gift, which governs
these International yachting contests.
the defending organization can select to
represent II, a vessel, IL Of one mast,
ranging anywhere between sixty-five
and ninety feet on the water Line, and IL
OF more than one mast between eighty
ard rs feet. Both Of the Upton chal-
lenges that have been rejected would de-
prlye the defending club OF the privilege
of selecting between these limits. mas
much as he has sought to fix the limit
himself definitely. In all these races time
allowances have been made for differ
ences in dimensions. so that as regards
the chances of winning actual size has
not been the determining factor Never

The Case of Blundy.

The law works hardship now and then,
without being technically unjust and yet
with the result of imposing an inordinate
penalty upon the innocent people. Take
the case ct William Blundy, who was an
apprentice seaman in the navy. with q
wife on shore and a small baby. Blundy
should either have Kept out of the navy
or remained single. But that he tried to
combine the two conditions was his mis-
fortune. Then came his err. or of judy
ment. his technical .ctfme." He deserted
from the navy because he could not sup
port his little FAINT j. on his seaman's pay.
Perhaps l., ire had gone about the matter
dins. eh,ly ne could have obtained his re-
,.ase from the service. but he chose TO
take the case into his own hands, and
became fugitive, getting emp oyment
that kept HIS family comfortably but liv-
ing under constant apprehension of ar
rest So not long ago he surrendered
hoping to gain immunity o.. light sem
tence. but the court-rnartial before which
he was tried efused to take any miligat-
Ing circumstances into account and sent
him to prison for two and half years,
leaving lis family destitute.
Yesterday the wife OF this unlucky man
SGT on the steps OF the Navy Department,
utterly at the end Of her resources, hold
ing an infant in her arms, with boy
Of four years standing by her side. The
Navy Department could. do nothing for
her. She had tried to see the President
and without avail. ILL., weak from want
OF food. desperate, this woman and her
little ones were victims of q mans fault,
yet fault committed in good heart and
with no intention Of doing wrong. Luckily
pubic attention has been brought to the
case because OF the pathetic spectacle Of
the little boy trying to get into the White
House Offices to bring his mothers de-
plorable plight to Official notice. Such q
case az this always appeals to the popu-
lar sympathy Doubtless some means
will be found to prevent the woman and
her children from actually suffering.
There Il always an outsiving of charity
whenever case of this kind comes to
light But suppose the woman, in her
PRIDE had shrunk from public notice and
had fallen by the wayside. Lives would
perhaps have been sacrificed, and all be-
cause the man had tried in his misguided
way to discharge his duty by them. 1t
would possibly be subversive OF the
morale of the navy to pardon Blundy
and set him free, yet such an action
would in the circumstances unquestion-
ably be applauded by the public az
worthy Of the humane feelings that are
supposed to animate even those in con-
troll Of great governmental affairs.
