The police and social roform upheaval In
New York, like. the late insurance investigation,
followed the persistent probing of n newspaper
reporter browsing about for a good story.
Theodore Roosevelt has often said that as police
commissioner his hands wore upheld, his effortn
aided by "Jake" Rlls, more thon any other.
But for the Inltlatlvo of Rlls, tho reporter for
twenty-seven years, It Is doubtful If tho up
heaval would have come Just then. He was a
pioneer, this man, In the great work of social
betterment in big cities. He paved the way 'to
a good deal of success for others In civto and
sanitary' cleanliness. And. he acted qn his own
Initiative, as a newspaper man on tho firing
line. He could not remain inactive, was never
content without, achlovlng. He realized the
power of his seemingly humble position and
commanded it for great things. Then he be
came a social worker and author qf books, Rlls
was ono of thbso sturdy European-Americans,
who'havo brought force and character and
genius to our country: who have done big
things, things worth doing; who have Instilled
the spirit of restless energy, dauntless enter
prise and decent living and helped to make thU
a better country In which to dwell.
As to City Deposits.
Proposals for .deposit of city money asked
for by the council bring one bid offering 2V4
por cent Interest on a maximum of 1100,000
(which Is still ono-half of 1' por cent' less than
It; being paid on state. deposits), and uniform
LIdB of 2 per cent on average balances from
each' of tho other banks. One-half of 1 per cent
on 1100,000 Is exactly $500, iwhlch we have no
doubt any bank would bo willing to pay for as
surance that a $100,000 account would not be
disturbed. Which brings us back to the pro
vision Incorporated Into tho defeated home rule
charter, which, we think, fully covered the
ground, offered,-tho best solution of this prob
lem. This chartorjr.o.vsjon supplemented- tho
I resent method of handling city monoy by giving-the
treasurer authority to take out time
certificates of deposit at current"' rates of Inter
est. ' With this authority, Ij; would bo easy for
the treasurer to estimate his permanent account
pndr take out tlmo certificates maturing from
month to month In such amounts jib would bo
desirable, while in case of-urgency tho certif
icates could bo easily cashed In without loss.
The (truth Is thero Is no good reason why
the city or county, or any other 'governmental
agency, should be treated any different or have
any preference over other depositors in a bank.
Thero Is no more reason why the city should
make Its deposits special deposits, requiring
epoclal socurlty, than there is for a railroad or
a business firm, or a public service corporation,
or an Individual depositor carrying large bal
ances. The city should have the best rate given
on Ijny interost-boarlng balance of current
funds, and -it should havo tthe right to make
time deposit)! at tho prevailing hlghor rates. It
should not give favors nor demand favors of iho
banks.

... A Bumper Fruit Crop Coming.
While anticipating a wheat harvest In Kan
sas, Nebraska, Missouri, Oklahoma and, Texan
oft more than 300,000;000 bushels 100,000,
Wfi .m9e thanyla8t yqar .we may also -tako
comfort In the roportod prospect of a corre
sponding' bumped fruit crop. To some,- who
have been lncllnod to view tho situation at short
range, knowing that peaches hkve suffered
Borne damage, this may bring surprise. It Is
the statement, nevertheless, of tho Chamber of
Commerce of the Unitod States, with headquar
ters at Washington, made after an accurate sur-
voy of the( country. To be sure, peaches and
remaps some, qtner rrults have boon damaged
In sections. In. tho Osark regions of Missouri.
t Is said, there has been a 75 per cent loss, and
yet as a wnole conditions both of citrus and de
ciduous fruit are such as to warrant tho cham
ber In sending forth the statement that the fruit
crop wU be.aji exceedingly heavy onq.
nor ao tnose blessings ond with wheat and
fruit. About everything else that grows m-om-
lses equally well. The fact let, Judging from the
i resent outlook, we are faclntr one of the richest
years the country has ever known. This un-
doubtedly will havo its effect on the aronnral
conservatism off the preyaillng commercial
f-tatus. Another vital feature sutreoBted u th
matter of transnortatlon fanllltln. Am n
cbmoup to these gigantic' harvests only to hear
the old cry of "car shortage?" Already rail
roads aro -said to' be distributing cars oVer their
systems In the west, preparatory to tho demands
soon to -set In. This should be done as a gen
eral thing so far as possible, to give us the full
advantage of tho soil's productions.
. land'and Ambition,
Take the land question and the element nf
personal' and political ambition out of the Mex
ican situation and what is left that could not ho
settled "without resort to arms and International
mediation? Of course, the Americans at this
conference will not agree to omit these two fae-
.tors .front the.llsQ? .su.bje.ct8. that la to form the
rinai oasis or consideration. As was mado
'plain at the outset, the modlators are con
fronted with the task of not. merely adjusting
differences between two . domestic factions, or
apy or all Mexican elements and a foreign
power,, but rather theirs is to work out a basis
on which the pacification of all the conflicting
elomontB of Mexico may be accomplished before
such' a thing as amity. abroad Is possible.
OUr mediators, therefore, have gained time
in securing' recognition now of those two ques
tions as vital the land situation and a tacit
endorsement by the constitutionalism of what
li done .at Niagara Falls. Now for the common
consent, to Huerta's elimination as the first step
and wemay begin, to see Borne real progress to
ward the goal. But after all this is secured,
and after everything Is done except the naming
In whatever way; may be decided upon of
the man to lead all Mexico, united and harmon
ious, to tho first stage In its rehabilitation, this
will still stand out as the supreme test and task
of the hour, ..Who Is the man on whom the
fiercely arrayed 'factions of Huerta, Zapata, Car
ranza, Villa and yet others will agree? Far be
It from Americans to disparage the prospect of
peace after so'vallantly promoting It by saying
there Is no such man, but this we may say
finding him'ls'Ve't a big Job.
There Is always time to make goqd and yet
never time to waste.

UrnlrK They Were. Mediocre.
BENSON, Neb., May S7.-To the Editor
of The Bee: 1 desire to take exception
to one statement contained In '"Der
Jlelde'a" excellent article In The Bee
wherein he saya: "The trinity of medl
ocrltlea who have occupied the White
House, namely, Monroe, Pierce and Polk,
'Oh, tell It not In Oath, neither publish
It In the streets of Askelon.'"
Webster defines a mediocre to bo "one
of middling quality, talent or merit." '
Let us examine each name In its order.
In the first place, It Is certainly a sad
commentary upon the Intelligence of the
American people of that period to elect
James Monroe president for four years,
giving him all the electoral votes except
twenty-three, and then re-elect him, thli.
time giving him all the electoral votes
save one one elector declaring that no
president but (Washington should ever
receive the unanimous vote If the state
ment of "Der Helde" Is correct that
James Monroe was a mediocre.
Previous to his presidency Monroe
served .as governor for Virginia,, also as
minister to England under Thomas Jef
ferson and as secretary of state under
President ' Madison, In every capacity
he towered above political parties and
demagoglsm, like Chlmborano above the
clouds, until he stood forth before the
world a statesman. So popular was he
that the period of his presidential terms
comes down In history as the "era of
good feeling." His famous doctrine con
tained In his message to congress In 23,
known since as the Monroe doctrine, has
received the sanction of the American
people, and assented to by every Euro
pean power, with the oxceptlon of a
couple futile exceptions. No enunciation
of any doctrine e'er affected the destiny
of all nations In otfr western world as
the Monroe doctrine. With James Mon
roe, as with Abraham Lincoln, simplicity
was power.
Next, as to Franklin Pierce: In the
first place, Franklin Pierce, prior to his
ascension to the presidency, rendered dis
tinguished services to his state and na
tion which alone merited him recognized
ability. Pierce's administration was free
from Important measures and vexatious
Questions, such aa abound today. He
simply met and quietly discharged the
duties Imposed upon his administration
without fiddle or farce. No noise, no
friction, nor far-fetched atrenuousness;
but as master of the ship of state Pres
ident Pierce pursued the even tenor of
his way, never once meeting shipwreck
or disaster until he ran amuck "Der
Helde." "Still waters run deep."
Next, as to James K. Folkr "Der
Holde" is' not so explicit aa to why he
relegates P61k to the trinity of "mei
dlocres,'(' but in his article he goea to
show that the Mexican war under Polk'a,
administration waa unjustifiable, and, to
my mind, proves his case. He quotes
Tom Cotwln and Abraham Lincoln aa op
posed to the Mexican war. In fact, he
could have quoted the names of many
others, including General Grant and my
self. Had "Der Helde" consulted General
Grant's memoir, written, of course, in
Grant's mature years, he would have
found that, although he was In the Mex
ican war, yet that he could not now see
any justifiable cause for the same upon
the part of the United States,
But tho fact that the Mexican war was
unjust nnd waged for the conquest of
territory to perpetuate the slave power
does not prove that President Polk and
his goncrals and armies were medlocres.
We gained every battle, frequently as
against vastly superior numbers. We
wrested from Mexico enough territory to
found an empire, paying for the same,
according to "Der Helde." about 3 cents
an acre, excepting, of course, the cost of
the war Itself, James K. Polk as pres
ident probably bore the same relation to
our succeas In the Mexican war aa did
, President MoKlnley. to the Spanish-
American war, or Abraham Lincoln to
the American civil war.
James Monroe. Jamea K. Polk and
Franklin Pierce were a trinity of "me
diocres." JAMES P. GROVE.

America' DoTrnfnll In Unit.
The aportlng blood of John Bull Is gradually as
sumlng Its normal gaiety. By an astonishing return
of form the Britishers met the American golfing Inva
sion and routed the Amateur champion from this
side of the big pond. Lati year's disaster haa been
avenged. "Ten American players," says the New
York World, "were Included In a total of 22 entries
and among them were our best three men, Travers
Oulmet and Evans, with Hcrreshoff close behind
them. Even If they had been playing In their usual
form, the odds were heavily against tne Americans.
While we have four or five players who are probably
as good as any four or five In Great Britain, they
have a much larger group of hlgh-clas men. as golf
Is an ancient game there.
"Golf Is an uncertain game. It happens fre
quently that an expen playing a little below his
form Is beaten by a mediocre man playing a little
above his own. This la what occurred several times
at Sandwich. The most striking feature of the tour
nament was the defeat of Jerome Travers in tho open
ing round by a man more than twice his age. who
was also suffering from lumbago.
"Evans did the best of our men. He won three
good matches, and then a little-known Scotchman
named Macfarlane turned loose against him a spurt
of the finest golf ever seen In an amateur champion
ship anyweher."
Swearing In Fish Stories.
Grover Cleveland In" his plscatorlcal ruminations ob
served that a fisherman should not be Idealized as i
messenger of the truth. The words were different,
but conveyed the Idea that the professional enjoyed a
kind of poetical license, entitling them to full free
dom of Imsglnatlon. The city of Pittsburg. Kan.,
concedes the right to a license, but Insists the li
cense shall be a sworn document, thus stimulating
a. piscatorial talent hitherto suppressed by vendors
of publicity. Besides tho llcenso to evade the haunts
of the bribo the bearer must also make oath to
his angling achievements. At the headquarters of the
fishermen In Pittsburg three affidavits for this sea
son havo been posted. One man swears that he did
"then and there apprehend, catch and land one fish.
towlt; a bass of the weight of six' pounds." The head
of the bass is exhibited with the affidavit. Two other
men swear to the "apprehension" of bass, one from
a lake at West Mineral and another from the lake
at Wclda.
It Is said the affidavit has caused a geat de
crease In the number of fish stories told.
Tranerty of Bed Paint.
The accidental spilling of a few drops of red paint
upon the white dress of 14-year-old Margaret Mulca
hey of 772 Columbus avenue, New York City, almost
caused a lynching.
Margaret had Just been confirmed, and with her
mother was walking up Amsterdam avenue looking
for a photographer to take a picture of her In her
confirmation dress. Henry Slmllowltz, a painter, was
walking down the avenue, carrying two palls of red
paint, and looking at the number of the houses as
he passed. The two collided and paint was spilled
on the girl's dress.
She started to scream, her mother Joined In, and
Slmllowltz took to ' his heels. Mother and daughter
pursued him. Passersby, noticing the red on the
girl's dress, Joined the chase, setting up the cry.
"Kill the murderer!"
The painter was rescued with difficulty by the po
lice from a store In which he had sought refuge. The
excited- crowd slunk a,way when It heard the story.

the mayor, no saloonkeeper can -allow a manto Jbuy
a drink fo another In hist place' of business .wltpout
being subject to arrest. The law Is aimed at the
practice of men spending their weekly or monthly
pay checks treating each other.
"It certainly pleased me when I heard that the
saloonmen In the city haa put their antl-treatlng
signs up again," said Mayor Fawcett. "I believe now
they are prepared to uphold the law and I am going
to help them."
Father Win Xat In Form.
The young man of persistence had been kicked out
of the parlor of his best girl In Indianapolis for the
thirteenth time by the same identical irate parental
foot.
As he picked himself up from the pavement, he
said to the aforementioned 1. p., who stood in the
doorway exuding threats from every pore:
"Father-to-be, far be it from me to say anything
discouraging, but you are losing form. That trip
from the parlor to the front steps Is usually made In
four kicks. This time you took five. 1 should at
least try to make It In bogey. If I were you."
And the young man went indignantly away Into

Twice Told Tales

A story Is told of an Irish sailor who decided to

Cardiff to Newport?"

Newpdrt to Cardiff? Do you suppose it is any farther

A LITTLE VACATION.
Minna Irving In Lc'slle's.
The morning letters on my desk-
Tef ttnopened lie;
Te mure patchos o'er the roort
Mv rfitless glances fly;
1 dream of cottage garden guy.
And roads that wander down
ThrouBh sun nnd shade and sllvr cew.
And take me far from town.
Beyond the whir of wheels and wires.
The pall of smoke and steam.
The woods nre dancing In the wind,
The stnglns waters gleam,
And every tiny bud that blows,
And every booming bee.
And bird, and breeze, and billow, sends
A wireless to inc.
I want to climb the mountain heights
And leave the world below.
And give my city-hampered soul
A little chance to grow. ,
I want to Idle on the beach,
And burrow In the sand.

Will make my heart expand,
Too long a grind of work and care.

tant contributions to the

any government-

administration, or
by any other tele

either in this coun

Type after type of in
struments, of cable and
switchboards have been
invented, built and dis
carded for something
better.

All Europe, wit 405
million people, has lass
than three million tele

tenth the number per pop

States.
During the last
eight years Bell
telephone wires
have been erected
at the rate of two

or a million miles a year.
In modern facilities,
quality of service, and
reasonableness of rates,
no telephone system in the
world approaches the
Bell organization.
