Crime in New York.

Pcoplc'who dwell in the province"
have been given much cause for Won
dcrmcnt in the remarkable tales that
arc sent out by the press associations
and special correspondents anent the
doings of the '.gunmen" of the metrop-
oils. From all accounts John Purroy
Mitchell realizes the tremendous respon-
sibility that rests upon him in his en-
deavors TO suppress this dangerous
class of citizens, but when these gun
men, attempt to intimidate justice every
decent person in the United States will,
at least morally, back him up.
In the general cleanup that is bound
to follow his campaign, particular at
tention should be given to the equally
infamous person who sells drugs to
New York's desperate and reckless de-
generates. Society owes it 20 itself to
assume as its duty the task OF running
to earth the unprincipled sellers of
misunderstanding drugs and New York
ers can well afford to devote time and
energy in suppressing such undesira-
bleS.
The courts, it is noted with great sat-
isfaction, have not been inundated.
and, despite the menace of the outlaw
gangs, have meted out punishment 10
those that are apprehended. But the
inefficicncy of the police, whether due
10 corrupt alliance with politics or to
offtial incapacity,; is startlingly shown
when judge has to protect jurors by
secrecy. There is no problem before
Mayor Mitchell which more insistently
demands attention than the restoration
of the unchallenged supremacy of law
and order in the metropolis.
Mayor Nitchers announcement that
Col. George w. Goethals will be ap-
pointed police commissioner of Greater
New York will strike the country gen.
orally as the best selection that Gould
be made. He is fearless, but not reck-
less, and to the ordinary laynlan it
looks as though he would wicid the big
stick with such effect the entire police
department would feel the stimulus and
get busy. The ordinary policeman is
not oyerburdened with gray matter
and is apt to lack the right kind of
judgment in carrying out his instruc-
tions.

1t is incohceivable that Congress will
fail to recognize the duty It owes to
the people,to make proper provision for
carrying out those projects for which
Federal appropriations are necessary.
They are not projects in which the
people of Washington are more deeply
concerned than are a similar number
of citizens of the United States re-
siding elsewhere. Generosity liberal
ity, lavishness should dominate. We
are not building for a generation, but
for posterity and tho glory of the

The More Beautiful Capital.

Washington is stepping forward to
attain its destiny as the worlds most
beautiful capital. The session yesterday
of the national commission OF fine arts
was one of the most important ever
held by that body. Under proper treat
mcnt. such as is guaranteed il the plans
adopted by the arts commission are
supplemented with a liberal appropria
ton for carrying them out. Meridian
Hill Park. occupying its commanding
site, will be made 4 beauty spot in
comparable, and a recreation ground
Tor the people of Washington unsur-
passed.
No niggardly policy should prevail in
Congress when this magnificent project
is being provided for. Ideally situated,
this park will for all time present TO
resident and visitor an enhancing view
point, from which he may gaze upon
lhc natural and architectural wonders
If Washington grouped at his feet.
1t is well that this great constructive
work has been placed in the hands of
men of keen artistic sense, so tfiat it
may be designed and completed as one
great, harmonious system. The sclec-
ton of the Seventeenth street site for
the Red Cross building, in memory of
the women of the civil war, is happy
one. There we shall have, artistically
grouped, the glistening homes of the
Corcoran Gallery of Art, the Pan
American Union, the Red Cross, and
the Continental Hall of the D. A. r.
Near by will be the War, Navy, and
State Building, the White rfouse, the
Treasury, the new Agricultural, and
Engraving and Printing buildings, and
The majestic Washington Monument,
certainly a panorama worthy of any
capital.
OF scarcely less importance in the
work of the arts commission are the
plans of Col w. w. Harts, superin-
tendent of public buildings and grounds,
which have been adopted for the treat
ment of Pennsylvania avenue, between
Seventeenth street and Washington Cir
Gle. These will add -immeasurably to
the appearance of this long-neglected
thoroughfare. Fipal and definite action
as 10. the material to be used in the
erection of the Lincoln Memorial is also
to be taken. 1t is easily to be appre-
ciated, therefore, that this gathering
