Those evasious-aud most of them

It's rather disgusting to see a
young editor who has not been on
the job long enough to have cut chin
whiskers at the game, referring to
the great political figures of the
pecially those whom he de-
sires to belittle because of their be-
longing to the faction which he op-
poses-by their first names as jim"
etc It's mark of bad breeding for a
journalist to cultivate such crash fam
illarity on such short experience and
the marks of smallness strike buck
on the adopter of such tactics rather
on those whom they would seek to
reduce in the eye of their readers
The ambition of some young fellers
to tower above the giants who have
climbed to heights which they can
never attain is naSeating TO those
of ripper observation and but reveals
the un worthy effort to step beyond
what's possibly simply because of the
wish to shine as jewel of the first
water when nothing but stone Of
lesser light can be reasonably expect
ed. Go on boy, you won't hurt any
body but yourself, and maybe some
day you will see your own image as
weaseled small as il has shrunk to
be true to proper proportions.

Over 10 Pearl River County some
intel esting statistics on cost of
County Government have recently
been compiled n d published.
Among such expenses we notice that
the cost of Cattle Dipping for the
something over five years the cam
paign has been on, is $71, 099 SO
while the total assessed value of the
cattle of all descriptions in such
county this year shows to /be 1913, :
l51. Is. From this it looks like dip
ping will soon cost that county more
than the worth of their cattle. Its
possible the cattle are worth some
thing more than the assessed valua-
tions shows. but dipping seems like
the brook slated to run on forever
and is proving far too costly thing
for the benefits derived. We haven't
the figures for Greene County but
assume that they are not far from
those 10 Pearl River County in pro-
portions. OF course the watts are
figured in and with slight repairs
are more in the order of a perma-
nent investment on the expense ac-
count, if needed right on. but never
theIess some method should be found
now that dipping has had such a
long run, of looking to bringing it
to a final close, run as it is as a
frequent force put on the people
and burden on the taxpayers.

Mrs. Karl Douglas Robinson, former

first informed of the Syracuse tragedy
by reporter for THE NEW YORK HER
AID in her home at zoe West Thir-

husband, who is in the publicity busi-

asked.
Eyes; I am Mrs. Robinson" she an
swered with smile.
'Have you read the afternoon pa
pers?" she was asked.
'I haven't read them yet, but will
after the evening meal" Mrs Robinson
said.
When handed a copy Of an evening
paper. which contained lengthy story
OF the murder and suicide Of which her
former husband was the principal actor.
she said:
II am too busy preparing a meal to
read anything now. SO perhaps you can
tell ME what is In the papers"
Mrs. Robinson was told that Prof.
Beckwith had shot and killed Prof.
Wharton and had then committed
suicide. She turned pale and murmured
that she could not believe such terrible
thing could have happened, but In a
few moments regained hr composure.
'Surely you must understand that I
cannot talk now, and won't you please
excuse me-" Mrs. Robinson said in a
pleading voice, as she closed the door.

hand.
Later when told of the statements
made by her former husband in the
written story Of hts life Mrs. Robinson
refused to comment.
At Poughkeepsie last night DR..
Martha Beckwith, Of the faculty of
Vassar College, said she was a cousin
of Prof. Beckwith. She added that she
had not seen him or known much about
hts life for several years. She recalled
that Mrs Beckwith divorced the pro-
lessor in another State, charging de-
sertion. DR.. Beckwith said that any
reports that the trouble between Beck
with and his wife unbalanced his mind
probably were untrue. She said he
always acted queerly.
George Holmes. an uncle of Prof.
Beckwith. said last night in his home
in Montclair that he had heard of the
tragedy, but he refused to discuss 1t
or any phase of his nephew's life.

OUSTED FROM BANK JOB.
Beckwith Was an Examiner for
California Com m issfon.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 2.--Dr. Holmes
Beckwith was an examiner for the State
Banking Commission from August to
December, 1914 and was dismissed upon
complaint of the banks that he was not
a proper person for the position, accord
ing to the commissions records
Records show he obtained the highest
marks of those who participated in the
test for examiner but was unable to
meet the standards OF the position in the
financial field. Officials OF the COM
mission said the bankers complained he
"lectured them like students" on the
theories Of their own business instead of
combining himself to the. actual exam
ination work. He came to the Banking
Commission from the University OF Cal
ifornia, where he was an instructor In
economies and political economy.
