week
BY REV. SMPKN

"As the Christian world comes once
again to the anniversary of the Pas
sion week of Jesus Christ, seeking to
keep tryst with Him in His spirit and
His sufferings, 1t is well to strike
through all the humanism and phil
osophy of the time to hearken once
again to the solemn Interpretation of
Christ's cross that is afforded us by
the mind of God as it speaks itself
In the book Of the age.
THE one thing that sets the cross
in the center of history, on the human
side, is the matter OF sin. He is blind
who does not e that the tragedy of
history is not that of ignorance or
cruelty, nor any other thing save that
of sin. Sad as life has been with a
thousand forms of wrong, wretched as
have been. and are, multitudes of the
children of men because of all forms
of selfish wrong, there is no tragedy
of sin comparable with that which the
infinite love of God gave itself to writ
ing in the cross, where was offered up
the Christ the Son Of God.
"S'1, widespread RS life, is perhaps
the Most unwelcome thing the prophet
may touch upon in any age. People do
not like to be called upon to think of
ever revealing how it loses to men
themselves and the best in life. The
futility of any life philosophy that
leaves out the sin problem is apparent.
Men ignore the truth God has spoken
about 1t, but sin refuses to be ignored
and burdens life with its selhshness
and pain in all the days.
THE truth shrined in the Passion
week rests on two bases. The first is
that every soul may say / am a per-
sonality with a meaning to God, and
l sin. The other is that God Is a per-
son, who is my Father, who loves me
and who ove to me in His love by
way of the cross, hat He may cleanse
me from sin and save me to myself
and to Him. For in the light of these
two fundaments the cross is the love
of the infinite reaching nj to touch
me in nv sin and in the certainty of
that death which sin holds, providing
by way of simple penitence and trust
the way to forgiveness and peace and
life.
Every Thoughtful heart should find
some space for brooding upon this
great manifestation of the eternal
love. business and pleasure should
find something of restriction and the
soul should ponder on the great events
that appeal to memory and thought.
No soul can long sit and think about
its sin and need, oil upon the love of
the Fathers heart hat is spoken in
the s~aviorhood of Christ and not be
brought into trust and an apprecia-
ton of the tremendous reality of that
the Christian world will remember

An Unavoidable Accident"

According to the coroner's jury, the
death Of Karl Bitter was an unavoidable
accident" and the young man who was
driving the automobile which killed the
sculptor has been released from arrest. If
this lamentable affair was unavoidable
and it is TO be Aoped the verdict of this
Jury will not be the last official word on
that-it is high time the authorities took
action to make such killings avoidable in
future
In certain European cities 1t is thing
generally understood by the populace that
the pedestrian has no rights which will be
respected by a motorist. Affairs have not
vet reached that stage in New York. Be
fore they do a halt must be called on those
drivers Of cars who use city streets for
speedways and see little difference between
Broadway when the theatres are emptying
their audiences into the White Way and
Riverside Drive on a quiet afternoon. To
do this there must he sharp work by the
police and the courts in cooperation.
1t is notorious that the regulation re
curing automobiles 70 stop a safe distance
away from a streetcar dischargng passen-
gers is almost a dead letter. 1t is notori-
Gus that taxicabs will break out of a
crowded line of traffic under conditions
dangerous alike to their passengers, pedes-
trians endeavoring to cross a street and
occupants of other automobiles in the line.
1t is notorious that the average automobile
driver, whether Of taXicab or of a speed
ing touring car carrying q joy-ridng
group Of occupants, will swear at the I'M
fortunate pedestrian he has almost run
over, rather than express any remorse.
Mr.. Bitter's death has served to bring
general indignation over these things to a
climax. The automobile speeder and the
careless driver must be brought to book
The streets are not entirely theirs, and the
pedestrians do not intend they shall get
any such notion. 1t is surely not beyond
the power Of the authorities to enforce
adequate regulations to insure safety.

A VERiTABLE GODSEND
Taking Of Land for Aqueduct Bene
flied Owners and Neighborhood.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR In the natter Of the city's ownership
of lands which comprise considerable FOR
ton Of the watershed in Westchester Gnd
Putnam counties the writer has some general
knowledge Of the situation as humble
taxpayer at both ends. With no purpose Of
controversy, he submits this statement for
what it may be worth in information on the
sub ject In the methods and procedure at
tending the acquisition of these lands he is
bound TO say that they seemed to be excep-
tionally arbitrary as against the holder, who
was in the end nevertheless in more than a
majority Of cases very literally dealt with
There were not a few instances. however,
Of ownership of rural homes in fine condi-
ton and most charmngly located as such
where the forcible parting imposed by the
memorable law constituted a real hardship.
Owing to the laws delay, deferred pay
mont occasioned some vexatlon. With the
delay, however, ran a wholesome 6 per cent
interest from the beginning. and there was
little difficulty in obtaining loans from local
sources on the basis OF these awards.
At present We have up there, by the way,
some earnest votaries Of scientific agricult-
ure, and il would be worth while to view the
Bedford Farmers Club in action. but at the
time Of this rape Of the land by the city
farming in Westchester and Putnam had
fallen into a state of innocuous desuetude
and is a negligible enterprise at the present
moment Many owners, besides securing a
substantial aid to comfortable living by these
awards, still retain considerable land and
equipment and enjoy its usufructs.
The country people have never been over.
kindly disposed toward the city, and have
always appeared to sympathize with the rest
Of the state in the matter Of and in oppos-
ton to an equitable basis of levying taxes
upon the cty's holdings in these counties.
In notable instances lands taken by and now
maintained in an orderly and attractive man
ner by the city, had they remained under the
.hcn existing control would have been lit
tered by the meanest sort of habtatons, and
under the prevailing laxity on the part Of
the community in dealing with such condi-
tions would have continued TO house an
equally worthless tenantry In much that
concerned the owners from whom land was
taken and the small communities throughout
the watershed the Intervention of the city
has proved a veritable godsend.

General Gorgas's Opportunity.

General Gorgas is rightly described by
the secretary of the Rockefeller Founda-
ton as a man pre-eminently At to deal
with the present desperate state Of affairs
in Serbia. II experience, energy and
proved ability count for anything, General
Gorgas, above most others, might be
counted upon TO save the country from
the terrible scourge under which it labors.
But the outcome must depend principally
upon the degree of authority granted him
by the government, for nothing short Of
absolute power in the business of admins
tration could clear up the situation, almost
beyond human control.
It was because of the power he enjoyed
in Cuba and in the Canal Zone that the
great tasks he undertook were so brill
ianty achieved. Without the able and
intelligent support and assistance Of Gen
eral Wood he never could have accom-
phshed the miracles that we're accom-
plished In Havana in 1901. Other medi-
cal men have tried valiantly to carry out
similar reforms on the same principle
elsewhere and failed, not through any
want Of ability on their own part, but
simply through apathy, ignorance and
lack Of cooperation among those in au-
thority over them.
A case In point is that Of the mosquito
campaigns in Egypt eight years ago.
These seem to have been successfully be-
gun, but those who undertook them, if
their own accounts are correct, met with
every possible Encouragement; the sani-
tary authorities steadfastly refused TO
adopt the best modern methods or to
apply them perseveringly and In the end
the work was virtually abandoned. In the
same way work we'll begun in India and
other places has been allowed 10 lapse
for want Of perseverance among admins
traitors rather than for any want of zeal
in their medical advisers.
1t is certain, then, that without adequate
support in an administrative way nothing
could be done by the ablest sanitarian;
given this support and free hand, no
man more evidently capable than General
Gorgas could be found to fight the plague
in Serbia.

Among the many changes that the war

Fish Ponds and the Direct Tax

From the statement Of the Mayor upon
the legislative programme Of direct taxa
ton we take the following:
I believe It is going too far, when an
Assemblyman requests the state 20 appro-
pirate $4,000 in order that his recreation
will not be spoiled by having his FISH hooks
caught in the stumps and dead timbers IN
Raquette River.
Of the $4,000, $1,000 at the very least,
will be paid by the taxpayers of New York
City. Corporation Counsel Polk has al
ready disclosed the method by which this
city is made TO pay most Of the taxes OF
counties through which the aqueduct
runs. The City Club has indicated the
fashion in which New York is to be taxed
TO build roads In rural counties. The
Mayors comment merely emphasizes one
more characteristic detail In the Albany
programme.
The Mayors discovery would be ridicu-
lous if it were not for the serious side that
there is TO the whole affair. Children in
this town are TO be put on part time in
school, Parks and Health departments are
20 have their efficiency reduced, fire pro-
lection is to be lessened-to permit up
state Assemblymen TO use state funds to
clean up fish ponds in their districts
How long will the people of this town
patiently endure such abuses? How soon
will they forget those statesmen who are
responsible for such grotesquely indefens-
ible performances?
