"they have no thought or expectations
that the total amount requested will
be appropriated in any one year."
The total estimated resources OF the
State for this year, including an ex-
listing surplus of $1s,745,595. are
s142, 5s1, s35. as against the nearly
$202, 100000 which the spenders want
to use In ordinary disbursements plus
the tens Of millions more on special
and extraordinary disbursements. But
the State ought not to spend even the
$142, 100000 of resources which seem
to be In sight. The sound heads in
the Legislature must not listen to 1t.
The strong Governor in the Executive
chamber must not tolerate it. Unless
they sweep out of the State Govern

swept out and put those that cannot
be swept out on O starvation diet,

More West Points, If Needed.

The annual report Of General DoUe-
LAS NfAcAHrHuR, Superintendent Of
the United States Military Academy,
contains one passage which will en-
gage the attention of every American
who believes that eternal vigilance
and systematic preparedness are the
price Of national safety.
General MACARTHUR points out that
while the reorganization bill Of June
4 practically doubled the size Of the
officer personnel Of the Regular Army
1t failed to provide for any increase
whatever in the supply Of officers from
West Point. The Military Academy
was left with the same authorized
strength Of 1894 cadets that 1t had
previously TO the enlarged demand
for educated officers Even on the
peace basis II cannot supply more
than one-third of the required officers.
The real question of reconstruction,
as General MACARTHUR remarks, In
rather striking phrase, is now one Of
quantity rather than quality.
The quality Is all right and is recog-
nized the world over. 1t has been
fixed by the standards and spirit OF
tho splendid institution up the Hud-
son River.
The quantity Is another thing. Tits
Republics experience during the past
three or four years proves that the
men TO fight for the flag can be pro-
duced in any real and great national
emergency without the permanent
maintenance OF a military force nu-
merically exceeding the standing army
indicated by our traditions and lin
tied by reasonable considerations Of
economical government But the
framework for emergency organization
should always be there; and the essen
tai feature of the framework Is the
regular supply Of officers finely trained
to command.
If preparedness Is insurance. let us
say again, as this newspaper has said
before, the Least expensiye premium

DR.. Copeland and the Rats.

The Health Commissioners plea
for a rat proof city is something that
nobody will combat as theory. The
unfortunate thing about this theory
is that 1t would cost, according to
DR.. CopE1.AND's own estimates, from
s50,OO0,OOO to $1Oo0oo,O0o to make
New York rat proof. Until this tar
burdened town gets on its feet and
builds schools and other real neces
stiles the owners Of rat infested
buildings will have to do their OWL
hunting Of the rodent.
OF course. If some genius could
rid New York Of Its two legged rats
fifty or q hundred millions would
sound reasonable.

Horton, a Good Policeman.

Through the cloud that hangs over
the police situation shines one act for
which the rank and file of the depart
ment must be proud and grateful.
That is the act, fatal to himself, in
which Lieutenant FLOYD HORTON
proved how faithful to his oath a
good policeman is.
HORTON was not on duty, except in
the sense that every policeman is al
ways on duty, when he saw gang of
robbers at work. OF course he did
not shirk his Job; and when the rob-
bers attempted to escape in motor
car HORTON chung to the car and
fought them long after he knew that
they were not only armed but trying
to kill him. They did kill him, but
with his last breath he was able to
give the license number Of the car
and thus to bring about the arrest of
the criminals-all but the one he had
very properly killed in self-defence.
HORTON was one Of the country
boys who were attracted to the New
York police force when General
GREENE was Commissioner, and for
seventeen years he had been the kind
Of policeman that this town likes to
think is looking out for its safety.
His last act, in it's readiness, intelli-
gence and fine courage, was symbolic
of the spirit Of a great part OF the
police force.
We read that HORTON years ago
had hand in the investigation Of the
Police Lieutenants Association OF
which RICHARD E. ENRIGHT was the
head. We read that ENNGHT, as
Commissioner, later banished HORTON
to distant and undesirable posts. But
Commissioner cannot take away a
good policemans conscience or his
courage. The strong hand of politics,
which has squeezed the head Of the
police organization until it is pulpy
and useless mass, has not been able
to paralyze the entire body.
The incident of HORTON may have
been needed by a public which was
beginning to despair Of the police
force generally. There is no need to
lose hope. All the police force needs
Is a new Police Commissioner, ap-
pointed by q new Mayor.
