We hope these determined women,
who did necessary Job 50 thoroughly
and well, will now see to 1t that the
administration OF their State does not
fall into laxity and inefficiency again.
They have shown that they can compel
action In crisis; let them now take
counsel to prevent such crisis from

The truth is that the so-called freak"

the result Of the designers attempt 10

The use Of the streets by self-ap-
pointed uplifters for oratorical pur.
poses has become general nuisance.
II in,crfcres with the legitimate usass
of the thoroughfares: It is m offence
TO people going about their ordinary
pursuits; It is an opportunity for jost-
lers and pickpockets, and 1t Is an injury
to property owners. whose rights In
their buildings are infringel.
Even the possession OF n police per-
init. granted no doubt under misappre-
hension. does not justify a party Of
half hcdged transformers of society
in drawing up beside a crowded side
walk at a crowded hour and creating n
dangerous jam in the circulation Of foot
passengers. The selection Of the en-
trance Of large business house on the
pretext Of reaching It's employees adds
to the offence: 1t Is an impertinence II
not an outrage.
The police were entirely right IN
breaking up the amateur oratorical dis
play attempted on Forty.second street
Tuesday night. II was wanton vio-
lation Of good sense and good order.
They were entirely justified In arrest
ing those who resisted their order to
move on. Apparently the officers used
no undue force. They did their duty
in Il temperate way and public opinion
will unquestionably support them.
