Something strange has come over
the members of the New York Board
of Education. The Board has almost
descended to slang in the interest OF
entertainment for boys. 1t has COM
piled a list of books for boys of from
II to IA. and it guarantees that no
boy will "go to sleep" over any
one of the books in this list Stories
by Kipling, Poe and Jules Verne. to-
gether with works by less known au-
thors, make up the % selected books.
It is a good list. There is no doubt
about it. But it is a question whether
it is necessary to compile a list of
story books for young boys in order TO
keep them awake. AS matter OF
fact, boys seldom go to sleep over
books They have capacity for read
ing which enables them to devour
what the British call "shockers, even
when the shock is missing. If the
Board of Education in New York, or
anywhere else. has plan by which
boys can be induced to read with profit

The Denial of Bail.

(Pittsburg, Pa, Gazette Times)
Refusal of the Supreme Court of the
United States to admit Harry X. Thaw
to bail pending argument and determi-
nation of habeas corpus proceedings can
not be said to be especially surprising
in view of all the circumstances. 1t is
not unreasonable to assume that the per-
sonal equation was factor in the
courts action. When Judge Aldrich
of the Federal Court in New Hampshire
declined to turn over Thaw for extradi-
ton, practically asserted his sanity and
expressed the opinion that, if at large
he would not be menace to the COM
munity, his honor stopped short at that
point and passed up the question of bail
to the higher bench. Why?
The commonwealth of New York,
through Jerome claimed them, as it did
in Washington last week, that Thaw
was not sane. and that it would be dan
gerous to set him free or allow him ms
liberty under bail. If Judge Aldrich had
ordered him out of custody, and IhaW
had committed an act of violence, the
Judge would have been exposed to re-
proach, and this is precisely the risk that
must have been run by the supreme
Judges if they had allowed ball. But II
Thaw remains in custody and the ap-
peal taken by New York should be de-
cided in Thaw's favor. and he should
then go free the fault. If any, will be
with the law and not with the court
There is nothing whatever to indicate
likelihood of another outbreak by Thaw'
whose behavior since he left Matteawan
has not been questioned, but his state OF
mind has been the subject of so mueh
controversy that the court doubtless was
constrained by prudential reasons 10
ADOPT a conservative course. Posslply
also the fact that, if bail were granted
and Thaw chose to leave the jurisdiction
of the United States. he could not be ex-
tradited might have had an influence
with the court, although the impression
is that he meant to return to Pennsyi-
vania and he believes with his counsel
that the final decision will be in his
favor
