is not to be commended for this breach of discipline, however. It is an evil indeed to have interiors throw eggs at superiors. What would happen in a newspaper office, for porter threw eggs at the city editor can well be imagined.
 But more important points than merely considering the nature of eggs when they hit a man is in volved in this manifestation of feminine fury in Washington.
 Mrs. Minnie L. Ward. the woman who hurled the eggs, hurled some- thing else later that was even more important. That is why sundry inn portant officials in Washington. from Secretary Wilbur down, are quite excited.
 Frank w. Griffith, the chief clerk who got the barrage Of eggs, is charged by Mrs. Ward with having taken at least 30 letters out of the files which were recommendation from power companies recom- mending r. E. Bonner to be execu- tive secretary of the Power Commis- sion.
 Recently MT. Bonner, under oath before the Senate interstate con- merce commission, testified he had not been backed by power con- panies for his position. Only letters from engineering societies recom- mending Mr Bonner for the position were left in the files, according to Mrs. Ward.
 We think the egg-t throwing incl dent was a stroke of fate designed to make public these allegations. Mir, Bonner and Mr. Griffith can
  make denials to their hearts con |. tent, but the throwing woman has at least created an air of sus- picion that ought to lead to a whole some investigation as to how things are conducted in the Power Con- mission.
 Mrs. Ward, who doesn't seem to { care much about the feelings of the power gentlemen, was not engaging in great public service when she threw the eggs; but when she spoke | her mind about the files she al least said something that makes for widespread public attention.

THE MAYORS FINAL IMPROVE
 MENTS

The flag end of the Mayor Pao- nessa' s reign is seeing preparations made for two unusually interesting public improveme ents. These are the new Black Rock bridge, which will be constructed within a short time, and the improvement of Steel street to it's junction with Wooster street in Barnesdale. forming a more direct highway between Barncsdale and the city, one winch avoid crossing trolley and railroad tracks. The improved highway will be Of special service during the con- /struction of the new Black Rock bridge, presenting dctour for Barnesdal traffic.
 The improvement of the road contemplated at this time. however, is more of an attempt to make the Steele street. Wooster street route passable than it is to provide as good shortened highway 10 Barnesdalc as will be necessary within a short time. Within a few years, ever since the new Lincoln school was constructed, the lower end of Steele street has been turned into a satisfactory thoroughfare for vehicles. There is no logical reason why the street should not be Wid- cncd and similarly improved all the way to Barnesdalc, or to the end Of Wooster street.
 Yet it $ pleasure to learn that the Mayor has requested the city engineer 10 proceed with such inn provements as are necessary to make the highway at least passable. We hear much complaint by city folk of poor country side roads; but there are few of them which are in such a depressing condition as the Steele Wooster highway, all of which is in the city limits.

prevalence of this major crime.
 Certainty of detection and convic- tion is the most deterring influence against crime. In this nation such certainty does not exist. Too many murderers escape. It is the enowl. edge that there is a good chance to elude the law that at least assists in stimulating the perpetration of murder.
 Great Britain is usually held up as a glowing example of low homi- eide rate; and in Britain capital pun ishment not only survives but there is small chance of a murderer es- caping it once he is enmeshed with the law after the commission of his crime. And he usually gets enmeshed very rapidly, the trials are swift, and justice sure and certain. Yet there are murders committed in England. Nothing can deter fools.
