WHICHEVER SIDE GIVES TIE BRIDE


IN prsed at the revelations Of police bribery
But New York should not forget that there are
two parties to every crime Of bribery. There can
be no taking of brides if there are no giveTs Of
tribes.
II the police have been taking money for their
intercessiou in industrial quarrels then one Of the
Interested parties has been giving brides
The bribe-gver in such cases is essentially an
Anarchist in his disregard for law. It is certain
that # unionists reSoned to bribery Of the police
they would be roundly denounced as "Bolshevsts"
and enemies of good government.
But where is the essential difference between
bribery by an organization Of employers and bribery
by an association Of employees3
Public opinion should be as quick to condemn
the essential anarchy Of bribery on one side Of the
Industrial lineup as il would be on the other.
Public prosecutors should be no less prompt with
the prosecution in any case where ii IS possible to
establish the facts.

NEW YoRK,s NEW BISHOP.

THE Rev. William 7. Manning, rector Of Trinity
i Church, was yesterday elected Bishop Of the
Protestant Episcopal Diocese of New York to sue
coed the late Bishop Burch
Dr. Manning was elected despite sensational
campaign carried on against him by anti-Brsh ele-
merits who denounced his candidacy because he
was bonn in England. This anti.Bntish campaign
eliminated yesterday in an editorial attack 50 imbe-
Gle, as well as unprncpled, that DR.. Manning's
election would be welcomed, if for nothing else, as
a rebuke to the newspaper that so far degraded
itself in its efforts to defeat him.
DR.. Manning was chosen Bishop Of New York
not because he was born in England, but because
he has proved himself an able worker and leader
IN thP Protestant Episcopal Church in America.
As a clergyman he has been conspicuous for his
IIberalness, without sacrificing either his dignity or
MS zeal as a plsader for religion.
II was Dr. Manning who recently explained his
idea of twentieth century religion as religion that
stands for "gladness, personal rights and freedom
and ali hat adds to the goodness and fulnesS OF
human hfe.n
A cnirchman with that idea Of religion IS pretty
close to New York's idea Of a good Bishop, as far
Is fundamentals 90.
Dr. Manning's distinguished career and notable
gifts Of leadership are sound guarantees Of the rest

The Prison GUaVd'a Job.
,e Editor Of The EVrnina World:

TO the Editor Of The Evrnina World.
Your editorials for a good many
years have dealt out columns upon
columns OF praise for the Police De-
partment's work in different instances.
I've yet TO see an editorial Of yours
praising the prison keepers, who are
more worthy of praise than the police
are, Do you know that a keeper
sometimes has as many as forty men
to watch and keep from making an
escape? A policeman makes an arrest
of a notorious bandit and there are
columns OF praise written about him,
and not a word of the keeper who
keeps this man and thirty nine others
| from escaping once he Is arrested.
How often do you hear Of a prisoner
slipping away from a policeman? An
everyday occurrence these days. A
keeper is undergrad for the work ne
does and has more responsibility, and
never a word IL mentioned Of his
| trustworthy work.
Give the prison keeper a boost once
in while, They deserve II more
than the cops"

the attacks of the Indians, who in
fe~ted the country through which
they were passing. Several members
of the party found the rigors OF the
trip too much for them and they had
to drop out, but Mr.. Hazel continued
with the few remaining and more
sturdy of these pioneers until they
reached Carson City, Nevada.
There he settled down and lived
for more than year. He secured
employment as n clerk in the offices
of one of the most prominent law
yers In the town. During this time
Nevada was still territory and had
not been admitted to statehood by
the government. A movement was
then on foot to have the territory adj
mitted to the Union and this was
accomplished while Mr.. Hazel was in
Carson City. As clerk in the law
yers office he had the distinction of
transcribing the official document of
the first constitution of the new State
of Nevada. After little more than n
years residence i'm Carson City Mr..
Hazel again became restless and the
old longing for travel and adventure
became so strong within him that he
left the town and continued on to
the Pacific coast. He boarded a
steamer in San Francisco and travel-
ed south to San Juan del Sur. Nicar-
aqua. There he crossed that terri
tory. proceeded down the San Juan
river by boat to Greystown and from
there he took passage back to the
United States by steamer.

this position for several years. trav-
cling through the south and later
he became vice-president and gem

offices and headquarters in Philadel-

few years ago and devoted all his
time during the latter years of his
holdings in lower New Castle and

though he had much to do in shap-

elections. he never sought office HIM
self. He had been suggested sever
al times as gubernatorial and Com
gressional timber. but never gave
personal encouragement to the ex-
tent of making a real campaign for
any of those offices. Feeling il a
duty to serve his community, how
ever, when he was asked TO become a
candidate for Representative in the
General Assembly in 1896, he did so
and was elected. During, the ensu-
ing session. 1897. he was the Demo-
cratic floor leader of n Democratic
House and occa asionally presided in
the absence of the Speaker when the
latter was forced 10 be away. He
had the ability not only to preside
impartially but also to clarity any
puzzling situation and to facilitate
the business in hand. He was chair
man of the committee of that session
that handled the Dickey- -Cheairs con-
test, and il was because of the report
of his committee that Woodward w.

of Smyrna. His early education was

section of the country and when quite
a young man he emigrated to Illinois,
where he secured employment as a
clerk in a very small town along the
western boundary of that State.
While he was a resident there the
people of the neighborhood organized
an expedition TO travel on horse back
across the continent to the Pacific

WOMEN WHO AID
IN PUBLIC HEALTH
Large Proportion of Those in
Federal Service Are
Specialists.

In proportion to its size, the per-
sennel of the United States Public
Health Service probably includes more
highly trained and specialized women
than any other branch of the Federal
government.
Highest on the list stand two Off
GERS holding commissioned rank in the
reserve-Lydia Allen DeVilbiss and
Josephine Baker. surgeons. Next in
rank come a number of scientific and
professional women. all or most of
whom are physicians. though some
are classified by other titles.
Among these are Blanche Sterling
and Edith b. Lowry. acting assistant
surgeons; Viola a Russell. pediatrist,
and Elizabeth b. Reed. all of the
child hygiene section; Ida A. Bengt-
son. sanitary biologist; Alice c.
Evans and Mrs. +. Nj. \. Enlow, bac-
teriologists. and Mrs. S. c. Brooks,
assistant biologist. all of the hy-
gienic laboratory; Gertrude Seymour,
president of the American Women in
Public Health. and DIR. Daisy Robin
son and DIR. Edith Rabe, regional con-
sultants.
Several large groups of highly
trained women have been organized
IN the public health service. Among
these are the reconstruction aides.
most of whom have had college train
ing or its equivalent. and all of whom
are of unusual ability and character.
These are stationed at various hos
pitfalls of the service throughout the
country.
Their task is to help manned sol
diexs to regain control OF injured
muscles and nerves or of dormant or
deranged mental faculties by appro-
PIRATE physical exercises or by cura-
tive and diversional occupations. The
aides. who are headed by Miss Mar
ian Morris, number about four hum
dred.
Nying with the reconstruction aides
are the dietitians, whose section was
organized about a year ago to take
over from the pharmacists the vic
.tualizing and food administration of
the scores of military hospitals now
handled by the public health service
All of the 200 members of the sec
tion. which is headed by Mrs. H. Is
Corsette, are graduates of schools OF
household economies and are thor
oughIy trained and experienced in all
matters relating TO dieting.
The nurses corps, headed by Miss
Lucy Minnegerode, consists of nurses
who have been highly trained IN
