Under the city' charter persons removed from office for CSUM nre not eligible for further appointment. Yet, this having been a sum mary removal with ut charges or hearine. some people hold that the (ieneral is now per ftetiy eligible. All of which is a question for the iawyr-rs. To the average man it often seems that New York is too prone lu.twap Police Commissioners at random from slieer force of habit with the idea of petting eomethinjr different rather than something r. If there were anytime in the theory that the best Police isaioner is the untTied Poliee Commissioner, it would rule out the General. To many, however, Gen. Rinpharn seema to figure Bong those who have had their chance without having furnished aay startling proof that they could make the most of it. In any present consideration of the Police Cornmissionership it is by no means irrelevant to note that Hhinelander Waldo has been a much better Commissioner without Mayor Gaynor than ever he wua with him. i - Ohtrlct-Attorney Whitman wantt $10,000 appropriated to din r out the facts about Tammany tampering with State contractors.

THE arrest of eight striking mail chauffeurs suspected of plots involving dynamite and murder is another grim reminder for New York of the risks in a free-for-all licensing of chauf feurs. Will the city heed the warning? An ordinance to bring !he Juggernaut mail trucks under the con trol of the city's speed laws is now before the Board of Aldermen The Aldermen are expected to act upon it next Tuesday. At last, therefore, there is a prospect of freeing New York from the terror of these huge engines of death which, since the beginning of the year, have crushed out eleven lives in the city streets. But in repeatedly calling attention to the menace of ponderous mail trucks driven at reckless speed through crowded thoroughfares The Evening World has pointed out that this is only one of the ways in which New York needlessly casts itaelf under the wheels of the all-conquering automobile. The best automobile laws are worthless without adequate penal ties penalties that mean something, penalties that are enforced. CWl. Edward Cornell, of the National Highways Protective Society, declares that in this State "a reckless chauffeur stands four times fht chance of escaping punishment that he docs in the neighboring Bute of New Jersey." A record of 1,131 street accidents caused by motor vehicles since Jan. 1 ought to open the eyes of New York to the fact that its present xaad worship of the auto is a cult dark with human sacrifice. - The specimen of new popular five-cent bus exhibited to the town If about the site of a trolley car.

By the New Year it is hoped that the twenty-five floors of this pala tial "hotel de ville" will be humming with the work of the city's thirty-six departments carried on by fifteen thousaid employees. "Hoped," we say. This was the building which was planned to he ready for occupancy in May, 1912! Why wasn't it? Ask the granite contractors, ask the interior finish contractors, ask the floor contractors, ask the elevator contractors, ask numberless sub-contractors, ask the Comptroller's office. Every answer will be equally aattafactory. Yet the majority of New Yorkers are so used to "hoping" alon their public works, so used to disappointments, so used to delayed contracts, so used to jobs that eat up money, so used to buildings built xor economy mar prove prodigies of extravagance, so used to paying extra, rem wnne new quarters lie Kile and unfinished, that now they only wait to see this superb structure complete and in full blast to be proud of it and no questions asked. The most colossal civic asset of New York is its good nature. Christmas comes but once a year, But when It comes It brings good cheer and SPUGS. 1 Letters From the People "In the Climate riianslna-f" T. th E4IU of Th.

A (1r Nw YorNi Kimmi WnriflK 12. A Petty Order That Led to England' Civil War. N English King didn't like Ms subjects' gi jwlng habit of emigrating to America. It not only drained the peasant and merchant ranks from which be drew the bulk of hi revenheg, hut It neomrd to him an Insulting criticism on the way his kingdom was run. So one day In 16SS he scribbled hit signature to an order forbidding a certain ship, then In harbor, to sail for Boston. He probably forgot the order after a day or two, In the slough of other blunders In which he was forever wallowing. He asauredly did not realise that It would have been a hundred times wiser for him to out off hla own right band than have signed that order. For. Indirectly, he bad just signed bis own death warrant and bad helped shove England Into the abyss of civil war, wherein he himself woo destined to rose his crown and his Ufa. The King was Charles I. Now, aboard the ship wboee selling Charles had forbidden waa man who bed become ao disgusted with government misrule that be ! had laeutvod to turn Ma bsvek forever on hla fattierland and to throw In tats fertunee wtth those of the New Bag-land colonist.

Aboard the detained ship with Mm were Hampden, Haaelrtg, Pym, and e number of othere who were afterward to start and fan the spread of war-flaaw throughout England. King Charles, In cooping up this shipload of flrebrandej, had achieved the crowning mistake of hi long series of rife-blunder. England waa beginning to lenrn what America later proved by a gloiSeep fight for ttberty and what France tnught hex noble by a baptism of blood that the people and not one small ruling class are the masters of a nartlra King Charle' chief Idea In life was that monnrchs are chosen by Ood to rues Kingdom In any way thay may choose. For centuries his ancestors had acted on this "divine right" belief. But In Charles's day the people were awakening. Cromwell, Hampden, Pym and many another were loudly declaring that no foolish or unluat Kanf had th rlaht to shape a nation's oourse. Charles thought otherwise. Whan Parliament (acting ns the people's volcel. opposed him. he dismissed Parliament, im a mother might tell a naurhtv child to leave the room. Parliament and it adherent rose In rebellion.

LUtl by little the Parliament forces gained ground. In one battle after another notably at Naseby they thrashed the King armies. Cromwell. who had had no military training, but who was a born general Just as he was a born statesman was one of the foremost figures In this war. It was he to whom the chief credit for the victories at Naseby and elsewhere were given. At his back were the "Ironsides," a body of Invincible fighters, stem, bloodthirsty, relentless. At last Charles was hopelessly beaten. He fled to the Scotch for refuge. Hie grandmother's mother. Marie Stuart, had been Queen of Scotland and the Highlanders were supposed to edore him. The Scotch, however, thriftily sold their adored King to the English. Now that they had Charles In their power the Parliament leaders did not quite know what to do with htm. They dared not let him free to stir up new trouble and there was always danger of escape If they kept him a prisoner. They settled the question in true "Ironsides" fashion by beheading him, Cromwell had loudly announced: "We will cut off his head with the crown upon Itf Cromwell was soon the sole ruler of England.

"And Mr. Htryver laughed at me when I told him we were going nutting," said Mrs. Htryver, panting (for she waa tending on tiptoe, bending over the branches of the vines and plucking off the wild grape.
