Al the Motor Show.

1t IL a common remark among visi-
TORS TO the automobile show that while
beautiful car bodies are not lacking
among the exhibits. there Is a marked
decrease In the number OF designs OBJ
viously intended merely for show pur-
poses. The bulk of the display Is made
up of cars the duplicates Of which
may be seen in the salesrooms at any
time. Therein the show bears evidence
not Of a special effort to impress the
visitor, but Of the high development
which the manufacture Of this class
OF vehicles has reached.
Utility Is the keynote OF the show.
whether that utility Is to be applied to
luxurious town riding, TO touring or the
uses Of professional and business men.
Not even the wonderful advance In
mechanical excellence which has char
acterized the rise Of the motor vehicle
IL more impressive than the demon
stration Of the economic factor 1t has
become In urban and rural life. At the
Grand Central Palace the visitor sees
the products of a vast Industry cater
ing not TO the whims OF n few but to
the necessities OF the many. Where
luxury and sport were once. and In a
time not far of. supreme, the require
ments of an orderly and essential bust
ness have succeeded. through the skill
Of inventors, the high ability Of crafts
men and the intelligent application Of
accomplished statesmen.

PROVOKING CRIME.
Indignation Aroused by the Record ~
Criminal Prosecution.

To THE EDITOR or THE SUN--St: II In
prosecution for arson the principal wilt
ness for the people were member OF
the Police Department who testified that
lie himself In pursuance OF the authority
supposedly vested in him. had induced
the accused to commit the crime with
which the latter was charged. would II
or would II not be the duty Of the District
Attorney to procure the Indictment OF his
witness as an accessory before the fact?
The suppositon Of such case seems
so absurd as to preclude 1t even from
academic consideration. Yet II a report
In THE SUN OF Tuesday. December 80. is
correct. IN the eyes Of the authorities
there seems to be no absurdity in the
principle involved In the supposed case
in some criminal offences not so grave rs
arson. Therein II Is reported that Justice
Moss In tho Court OF Special Sessions
fined booksellers clerk $50 and SEN
fenced him to twenty days imprisonment
for selling an obscene book to an agent
OF Anthony Comstock. by whom the agent
had been sent to the booksellers for the
express purpose OF inducing the clerk to
commit the very offence for which he was
prosecuted by Comstock and sentenced to
a fine and Imprisonment.
So far as the report shows. the clerk
was punished for the specific act OF sell
ing and for nothing else and this would
appear to be true necessarily, as such an
employee could not very well be held re-.
sponsibe for the mere fact that the hook
was on SAT-. his cnencS could scarcely
consist In any act but that of selling"
Under the circumstances as they appear
In the newspaper account the inducing OF
the prisoner to violate the criminal law

DEMOCRACI,S SUCCESS.
4 Rcbuke 10 the Wesk who Sec Only
Its Weaknesses.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: A
pernicious doctrine Is being preached
throughout this country by the press, one
that proclaims TO the rest OF the world
that our democracy Is a failure.
II has Its latest exemplifcation In the
road graft of this State. the cry being
Take the roads out of politics." and the
Panama Canal Is cited az an example Of
what might be accomplished with this or
that project or institution taken out Of
politics.
As matter OF fact the Panama Canal
enterprise is essentially political prof.
ect. II represents politics In the very
highest and best sense. as II has to do
with the nations material advancement.
But we have come TO regard politics as
something thoroughly dishonest and vile.
as IA thing separate and apart from State
and nation.
One not familiar with our system OF
government could only conclude after
reading the current daily papers OF Amer
lea that politics means n self-constituted
organization of thieves and crooks ar
rayed against the mass OF the people. II
is a cowardly. backward step we are TAX
ing and the press Is largely responsible
for IT,
1t is teaching the public TO believe that
the situation Is hopeless, when the con-
trary IL true. | can conceive of nothing
more cowardly and pusllanmous than for
some eight or ten millions OF people To
confess that one or two grafters can rob
and defeat them at will. I say one or
two grafters, for We have only to con-
sider the men higher up to determine
whether matters shall go right or wrong.
Let us substitute punishment for temp
tation In the case Of grafters, for Il II

The profitable peace which has ex-

direct beneticiaries. Is now threatened
because of dispute over the personal
qualities of representative OF the

employers association, the American
Federation OF Labor and the Inter
national Garment Workers Union.
This peace has been maintained by
means Of an arbitration agreement
known as the protocol, which is itself
endangered in the trouble that has
arisen over one individual.
Under such circumstances, what
could be more appropriate than the
reference OF the whole controversy TO
