IMPOSITION of sentence on Inspector Domnick
Henry was by no means the most important
happening in Justice Weekss Branch Of Supreme
Court yesterday
Col William Rand, Special Assistant Attorney
General, in the course Of the proceedings made
statement that can not fail to have far-reachng eff
fects
Col. Rand declared that the Mayor Of New York.

He went further and charged that these three public
officials had forced he defendant fnIO he position in
phfeh he found himself uhen he was guided By mis-
taken sense Of byalty 10 his superior officers"
Nor was this the climax.
Justice Weeks, speaking from the bench, plainly
intimated that the Court tended strongly to similar
opinion, when he said, ~ The defendant weye nOw 10
say that he charges he made and repeated under cath
uoere untrue and his assertion Oas made under pressure
Die Court DOuld only Be loo wiins 10 accept that stale

Col Rand and Justice Weeks are responsible
officers of the law. They have testified publicly
and in the most solemn manner to their belief that
there is something rotten among the "higher-ups."
The charges are most serious, and would not have
been made without good reason Col. Rand Is
bound to go the limit in getting to the bottom Of the
affair
Even If Col. Rand Is unable to get proof which
win be legally binding, the Mayor and the two Com
.missioners can not hope to maintain even shred
of respect in the community unless they Immediately
come forward and demand the fullest possible inves
tigaton without regard to any legal technlcallties.
Subomation of perjury IS, If anything, more
serious offense than perjury.
No public official can afford to bear the slightest
suspicion of this crime without strenuous effort
to clear himself.

BLOCK PARTIES.

n PROTEST against "too many block parties" in
a one of the boroughS Is a testimonial to the
popularity of this new form of community activity.
The protest filed appears to be backed by good
reasons, but this should not lead to general move
ment to do away with this excellent outgrowth of
the wartime spirit of "get-together."
Careful reading Of the complaint seems to indicate
resentment of the way in which the entertainments
have been carried out rather than to the idea of the
entertainment itself
Here is a field for exercise Of discretion Block
parties should not become nuisance, but anything
which will call the neghbors together permit them
to make neighborhood acquaintances, and to enjoy
some of the features Of the old village "sociable" is
precious beyond words in New York of all places.
There are block parties and then there are other
block parties. The right sort of block parties should
be cherished and helped, not discouraged.

No. 94.-TESS OF THE DUR
BERVILLES, BY Thomas

HdTdy.
Tess was the descendant Of the ones
mighty D'Urberville family. But her
own branch Of that family lived in
soualid poverty. Her father was .
drunISard and her mother was a fool
She went to work for the mother Of
one Alec DUrbervilie. a rich and dis
tant relative. Alec fell crafty in love
with her. Too late she found out the
type Of man he was. In disgrace She
returned to her own home.
Later, while working on a dairy
farm, she met young Angel Glare.
Angel was the son Of a clergyman
and was self-satished prig. He
fell in love with Tess and she with
him.
Long she refused to listen to his
wooing, for she thought herself un-
worthy to wed such a hero. But at
last she promised to marry him. Be-
fore the wedding she wrote Angel q
letter, telling him about her past. He
never received 1t. Not until the we'd
ding day did Tess discover this.
After the ceremony Angel con-
fessed to his bride that he had once
spent dissolute vacation in Lon
don; and bad had degrading affair
with a woman whom no met there.
He said he wanted to start his mar
ried life with clean slate, by haV-
ing no such secrets from his wife.
Freely and gladly Tess forgave
him. Then she told him of her own
misfortune. In horror he turned
from her; deeming such q woman
unworthy to be his wife.
Clare left Scotland. Tess went to
work again. Her father was dead.
Her mother and the children were
in poverty. In her dire need to sup
port them, Tess turned again to Alec
DUrberville. There seemed nothing
else left in life for her now: and her
mother and her brothers and sisters
were starving.
At last, Angel Clare came back to
her. He had been unable to forgee
Tess or to drown his love for her.
Across the world her memory had
followed him. This time she made
no secret Of the life she had been
leading. And Angel fed from her In
horror.
When Angel was gone, Tess told
Alec of his return. Alec sneered at
Clare and spoke slurringly OF him.
Tess snatched up a knife and stabbed
him to the heart. Then she rushed
out of the house and along the road
her husband had taken.
When she caught up with Angel
she told him what she had done. This
time Angel Clare did not repudiate
her. Instead he took her to his
heart, and was prepared to devote the
rest of his life to her.
Together they wandered over the
country, in gypsy fashion, for days.
But presently the pursuing officers
of the law caught up with them and
arrested Tess for Alec D'Urberville's
murder.
/ Angel stayed near her until the
end, even watching in dry-eyed mis-
cry outside the prison walls on the
| morning she was hanged.

WORK VS.. TOLL.

OTHERE is no hope of progress or happiness
save as It rests upon work. Just now it
seems as If It were the one purpose Of many to es-
cape work. Let us raise in the temples Of our ad-
mration statues to the real patriots of peace-the
willing workers of our country"
Thus Charles E. Hughes in his commencement
address at Wellesley College.
Coming from an eminent American whose high
and conscientious services have not been on the side
of radicasm this glorifcation of work will seem to
many merely another of those sounding platitudes
with which plutocracy justifes the tolng of its
slaves.
To American Federation of Labor enthusiasts
who have just launched campaign for sx-hour
working day, Mr.. Hughes's notion of peace patriot
ism must appear the quintessence of reactionary
rubbish
Work to dScredt work was never more plentiful
than at the present moment.
If half the human energy now being expended In
efforts to evade or abolish work could be collected
and concentrated on the problem of making work
more productive and at the same time less wasteflIl
of the muscle and nerve that 60 into It, the result
would be the greatest era in the history of industrial
progress.
The present reStlessness and dissatisfaction of
labor, we are told are part of the unsettled morale
which is one of the widespread after effects of the
strain of war;
RestleSSneSs and dissatisfaction do not necessarily
lead to laziness or destruction.
So far as unrest has brought about betterment
of labor conditions, unrest has been progress
The danger Is that unrest, instead of using It's
forces to improve conditions of work and to hasten
the development of mechanical means which will
relieve human beings of the more crushing burdens
of toll, may be perverted by inveterate work-haters
into a growing hostility toward all work.
WORK" said Tolstoy "is the inevitable cond-
ton Of human life, the true source of human well
fare"
After wild and bloody experiment with theories
we have seen Trotzky and Lenine forced to drive
Russians back to the Tolsoy notion of work in order
to avert the total wreck of what is left of Russia
American intelligence is powerful enough to con-
troll forces of unrest and direct them to sounder pur
pose.
Immense progress can be scored through the en-
ergy those forces represent If even part of them
can be kept from the effort to discredit work and
diverted to labor'S real problem
How to do more work with less toll.

In so doing he shows malice. He also shows ig-
norance. Either that or he is deliberately misrepre
ssntng the facts and misleading his readers.
Probably the Committee of Forty-eight was I'M
fortunate in choice of name, but il has been as
siduous in explaining that the "Fortyeght" referred
to States and not to individuals
The public does not expect too much from the
editorial pages Of the Munseylzed section Of the
press. But If the editors presume to advise on po
Ical affairs they should at least give evidence that
they know something Of what is going on in polt-
ical circles.
Criticism of the Committee of Forty-eight policy
is allowable, but the movement can not be ignored
