In the rnnks of little business the sTlne general tendency to discredit the Democratic Administration uud the Wilson jkiIIcIcs Is ilarant. Mr. Kn WAtin r.r.ri vi i ii. the inatiauer of the N'atloiial Kmplo) incut Kschance. was reported .velefda.v as snyini;: "There .ire more lioiiet. able Nulled working, men out of Msltloiis now than at nny time since I'.ho.

President T,onn: of the Delaware and Hudson Itnllroad Com pany, and Mr. .I.xron II. Scmrr of Kulm. I.ocb & I'omp'iny. Mr. Cvr.er.NTHt I'outlnuos: "Positions for laborers on the railroads have been scarce. There is practically nothing doing in that direction. Corporations, instead of taking men. are also laying them otr. That tlioe facts nre Indications of a slate of affairs greatly to be de plored we need not say. Hut do the facts likewise Indicate a concerted at tempt to bring discredit upon the Demo cratic Administration; to produce for lolltlcal effect the "unnatural panic" against which Mr. Wilson so sharply warned the nation one year ago ne.t week V SHaklng to the Southern Society in this town on December 17, 1!I2, Mr. Wilson said : They say business will be disturbed by the Democratic policy. Huslm-ss can not be disturbed unless thu minds of those who conduct It arc disturbed. There aie unnatural panics that are said to occur bometlnies l cause certain men want to create the Impression that the wronK thine Is beliiK done. I have been told that the machinery Is In cxlstuice by which such a panic could be brought about Peisonally. I don't lullexe the man lives niw who dans to us-o that machinery. If be does, I promise hlin, not on my own behalf but on behalf of my countrnun, a Klbbct as high as IUman." On the anniversary of this awful warning perhaps the President will take up the subject again. Does lie now see in business condi tions the evidence of a conspiracy to discredit the Wilson policies'; Is lie now looking for the architect who can design n gibbet of sulliclent altitude and capacity? An Olive Branch Willi Thorns. Premier Aroi'itiTs "olive branch" speech on the Ulster question at Man chester must be rend ill tho light of hi stalcincnt of the lioveriimeiit's policy nt I.adybunk on October i!5. It Is one thing to accept Sir Knw.uw Caiison'h principles for a basis of agreement and pilte another thing to come to an agree ment with litin and satisfy the faction in Ulster which he represents. Mr. Ahquitii is of one mind with Sir Kn waiik Carson that tho settlement must not humiliate Ulster; that other parts of the United Kingdom should have self-rule as well as Ulster; that Ulster must retain full protection of the Im perial Parliament, and that the home rule hill "must not be such as to lead to ultimate separation of Ulster from Great Hrltaln." If wo turn to the I.nilybnnk speech delivered before Scotch constituents, who want home rule for themselves, we shall find, tlrst, that Mr. AmjuiTii jjave stem notice that If tho homo rule act were met by "organized ami armed resistance" the Government would as. serf tno authority or tho law "hy every appropriate and ndi'ipmtu measure, nnd that then ho Invited an liitereliuneo est then.

On Urlday night at a meeting of the New York University Koruiii Mr. An Trim (liovAN.MTTt, the eminent agita tor and soulful leader of the Industrial Workers of the World, Rave n new xer sloti of social Justice In these xvords: "I don't consider right or wronir, t don't consider the rights of other classes. All I consider Is the Interest of labor." As a frauk expounder of enlightened self-interest Mr. tiiov.xNNiiTi easily carries off the palm. "I don't consider right or xvrong." Kthlcs are obsolete. Christianity Is a failure. Justice Is the vagary of civilization. Had Mr. fiiov.xNNiTn been satlslled with his doctrine all might haxe gone well. Hut he xx'cnt on to advise "every one not a laborer to let labor alone." This declaration from such a source caused a stupid and insolent listener to nsk Mr. Giovanni m what xvas his own connection xvlth labor. We read that the spenker seemed "a pood deal nettled." The trouble with burrs Is that they sometimes stick even on oily coats. And had Mr. (Iiovannitti been as frank In hl answer n he xvas about his doctrines he would have replied that It xx-.'is none of the auditor's business, lie admitted merely that he didn't xvork xvlth his hands. Here arises another query : May one not xxork xvlth his mouth? Certainly. Therefore AtiTfito Uiov.xNNiTri Is an able workman In constant need of a Job.

Marvellous ami fruitful are Professor Hoi.i.ir's labors and psychological laboratory ex- jierliiioiits in graphic arts of spirits. Among the latest triumphs of the ghost studio are spirit photographs of "Nkiiki.a (i'oniAH or the Prodigal He deemed I and Prophet Amos, who both lived licforc the Christian era." Aura ham sat some time nco nnd is noxv "do ing much to Inspire Professor Hot.i.t.n."

With nil respect to Amos nnd Toiiias, a "Theatrum Mull erutn Hlbllcnrum" would lie more ap pealing. She of Shi'ba, for example, Delilah: and Jaw, the Hebrew Panic hurst. Why are these gifts hid? Why does no Hanierton of the graphic arts of spirits, spread their long ghostly gal lory before us? We regret fully ns much ns universal theomonlstics doe thnt "luck of funds prevents the repro duction of the spirit photographs us xvell us of Professor Hoi.i.i r's whole volume of syinbolR and writings in the newly revealed spirit alphabet."

The agreement W teen tho Metro- poll tun Opern Compiiny and Obcar Hammkiistkin haxit..- 'icen dcclnrcd uotivitlcM of the compnny In control of the Metropolitan Ojiera Compnny. Al ready Mr. HAMMKRsTf.iN has a nexv opera house which will soon be com pleted. The artists conditionally encaged for this nexv enterprise, however, were notified by the Impresario some xveeks past that they would not be expected to sing In this city until next year. The division rendered yesterdny makes Impossible the opening of any oemt!e theatre under Mr. IIammeiistf.in's direc tion unlit the time of his agreement witli the Metropolitan Opera Company has expired. The court has upheld the arrangement by xvhlch Mr. Hammkrstkin sold his Interests to the Mctroiolltnn Opera Company on the ground that the giving of opera Is not trade. Kxldently the court bellexed that no prohibition of business competition xvas Involved In the transaction by xvhlch Mr. 11 am. vim srr.iN received for his property a urn of money and agreed for a term of xears to refrain from the produc tion of opera in certain cities of this country. As the giving of opera Is to be regarded as art rnther tlinn trade. It Is the legal phrn.seology here used and not an exact description of the administration of the Metropolitan Opera House to-day. Luckily for New Yorkers and the re pute of their lyric theatre. It Is not possible noxv for the commercial ele ments In the conduct of the Metropoli tan Opera House to preponderate. The managing director Is engaged on a sal ary. He does not profit by the Increase In receipts as in- did under previous administrations. His rexvard may be liberal, but he Is not dependent upon the degree to xvhlch the establishment protlts for his earnings. One Inijxtrtant protection against the merely commer cial administration of the opera house Is thus established. The sanity neces sary to a reasonable combination of the artistic and the practical Is nssured by the cooperation of th" directors of the company and the experience of the Impresario In charge. So whatever may lie the ultimate outcome of the controversy between the Metropolitan Opera Compnny and Mr. H.xmmi rstkin. the artistic element xvhlch Is dominant In the affairs of the Metropolitan Opera House will not be affected.

I To THK ICUITOK OK Tun 8t!N Kir- " critics of the Monroe Doctrine hi " liux lug u glorious time exposing what they consider the defects of that fundu- mental principle of our foreign policy. Tho lutest deliverance of this sort Is probably the lifter dinner speech by tho . xvhllom Trensurer-General of Persia, Mr. W. M. Shuster, xvhlch I see men tioned In This Hpn of this morning. ' .Mr. Shuster calls the Monroe Doctrine! a bluff. A bluff Involves a threat to do something which one cannot do, What Is the threat of the Monroe Doctrine? Thnfnn Interposition by n Kuropenn ; Power for the purpose of oppressing an , American republic or In uny other man-! ncr controlling Its destiny will be viewed "ns a manifestation of an un-1 friendly disposition toward tho United ' States." It may be admitted also thnt1 there Is nn Implied thieat In the nsser-I lion that "the American continents nre 'hence forth not to be con sldcied ns subjects for future colonlza-i Hon by Kuropeau Powers." ! Noxv I do not ore in cither of these Hi rents any such dilllciilty ns would warrant the deprecation of It as a bluff. Attempts made by Guropcan Poxvers to! control the destiny of nn American people have been with fexv If nny ex ceptions resented not only by the United 1 Slates but also by practically all Uitln America, lu spite of the prohibition of European colonization there have been ' cases of It, notably by Great Hrltaln In despoiling Argentina of tho Falkland Islands and In taklnc advantage eif our embarrassments In the ilxil xvar to con vert the Mritlsli settlement of Itclb.e. or Ijrltlsh Honduras.

The enforcement In this town of the laws nnd oidlniiiires i elating to the of fences short of thoeo ln ulvlng moral turpitude has become a hywotd and a Joke. 11 used to be that people feared nrrcrt for any offence, because of the humiliation of being dragged to a pollen e'oiirt and tho Inionvenlenci; resulting, not to speak of the feelltu thut one's friends wouldn't tike to have anything to do with one who li.nl run afoul ot t!i law. The law designedly put those vio lating It to this Inconvenience, so that no matter what the outcome might lie, one, heroic getting disentangled of Its meshes, felt some respect for what It thltlvl the right of society to humiliate wrongdoers. Now what do xe find? No one arrested need be put to tho slightest Inconvenience. Hundreds of people, aiu arrested in this town dally for various offences xhlch arc thought serious enough to be prohibited by laxv or ordinance. What happens? They are held in small bull, from $23 to J loo. They put up the cash Instead of real estate security and await their trial. If found guilty they are fined maybe. Then they collect the cash they haxe put up, deduct tlic fine, If nny. and go on their way.

This article I do not regntd as n fair discussion of the case of the People vs. Theodore II.

The best type of citizen, after he has bee-onie tliotoiighly piotlclcnt In the lrindllng of automobiles, will at times, xvhen be thinks the hlghxv.iy is clear and there Is no danger of a mishap, be tempted solely by the exhilaration a high rate of speed excites to exceed spu d limit xvlthout Intending to, or oven being con scious of, Infracting speed regulations.

Of course proper exceptions could be made for machines Inteiubd solely for rue lug. Twenty nillis an hour Is as fast as any pilxate vehicle should be propelled along a public highway, The advantages of thus limiting the sp-ed of automobiles nre manifold. To sav nothing of the re duction In the loss of life and the maiming of people', xvhlch Is, of course, of prime importance, the xxcar and tear on the. loads xvoiilil lie much less and the cost of malntennnco proportionately diminished. Furthermore, If automobiles xxen so con structed that they could not dexilop a speed of over twenty miles an hour, tin lure they now possess for the reckless xvould bo taken away and tnanv tcck less speeders xvould find autiiinoblllng no longer attractive. AutnmobllhiR xvould then become not only comparatively safe bin agreeable, As It Is now, tlieru may be lino machines ttavelllug along a public road within a distance of eight or ten mllis and the enjoyment nnd comfort of the occupants be spoiled Just because among the ,iOO nutomoblllsts therii may be light or ten who endeavor to pass eveiy other machine along the, road, leaving behind a e-oustant cloud of dust, xvhlch blinds nnd stifles the vast majority of those who may be seeking a fexv hours pliasuie and recreation In their automobiles.

NO TAMPERING POSSIBLE Cos! Also No Hitrlicr Than by the old Way of Issulnpr Certificates. William It. Oullfoy, registrar of the Department of Health. In telling" Tlt St.'N .xcstcrday of a new system put Into effect' bv the Board of Health of making copies of birth and death certificates, said that by this plan It will be Impossible In the future for any person to alter a copy of a Hoard of Health record In order to perpetrate a fraud agalnit an Insurance company or for any other Im proper purpose. The plan, which has been tried out for two weeks and Is now pronounced a sue ees. Is to have photographic copies made flf (h( rrcor( Instead of having: them ...,, ru,. ua has been the custom .,.r., ,ta'rs. or written In long hand, 5 ears. formerly. ... Dr. fiullfov said that the photographic. ropy Is an improvement over one type- xx rutin, since It IS uosoiuu-iy ..vtu. xi.... i.Vn.toi-riiiihlc conies can be turned out mot'' rapidly, and at no Increase In cost and It Is Impossible to alter them xvlthout tho change III the reeoru ueing detcctrd. The Instrument xvlth which the work Is done Is known .as a rectlgraph. Thex ma chine noxv In use by the board la rented for tiO cents a month, tho chief cost s.f operation being tho paper on which the photograph is made. Dr. Clullfoy expects to get the cost of the paier down to four cents a copy for each record, xvhlch sells for 60 cents. Ho has llgured that the e-ost of having the copy typexxrltten by a cbrk amounts to cboiit four cents a copy, so that with the II of the teitlgraph the set vices of txx-o cl iks can be dispensed with. The copies are made accurately, the cost is not In creased, and the records cannot be changed xvlthout detection. "It seems strange to me," said Dr. feiillfoy, "that the xvork of this instiu ment hasn't been pushed In other public departments for making re-ronls. since It can lie us. el In copying wills, deeds, court n.-deis and any sort of public document of which there Is a constant demand for copies. "It xvas only because I chanced to hear about the work done by the rectlgraph that I put It In use. The machines have been use-d chiefly up to now by Insuranco companies in making copies of applica tions for policies. "We have found In the pnst that our clerks were not Infallible and that error In copying birth and death certlticate-) occasionally occurred. It has. also been proved that there was little difficulty In changing the age on a birth certificate In order to get a life Insurance policy. "Once a ucord Is tiled xvlth us It can not be changed except on the order of tho Commissioner of Health, nnd he never gives tin authority except on the strotn 'St pr of Aecordingly If a persetn xxanteil a record changed he got a copv and made the change himself, and sometimes it wns dune so skilfully as to escape de tection." Although the machine noxv In use waa obtained only for experimental purpose mil cannot be used as rapidly ns ons nin-b- for the purpose of photographing tit,- dt p.irttnent records, it turned uut l"-' copies of death certificates In ona day and a uumhr of birth certificates.

Al.tiANV, De'C t; -All employees of tha New York county Sheriff's office discharg ing duties wholly or In part of a civil character are not subject to civil ser vice regulations, according to an opinion rendered to-day by Attorney-General Carmrly at the request of the Stutu Civil Service Commission. The commis sion Is not bound, however, by the certltl-i-ate of the Sheriff thnt the duties of any employee are of a civil character, but should determine that such Is the fact. Mr C.irmody bases tils conclusion upon a decision of the Court of Appeals In Klabiity vs. Mllliken, a proceeding of mandamus brought by the Sheriff of Kings county. In that case the court held certain employees exempt from civil ser vice regulations on the ground that tho Sher'ff is liable for the default of these ippolulees, and the appointees for such default are liable to the Sheriff and to no one use. snoty nr iivmaxitaiiiaxs.
