It. 1? very gratifying to have almost dully proof tuet the police authorities or tho various cities throughout the country are giving the Federal gov? ernment splendid support In its efforts ?to rid tho country or anarchists an.', tho awful crimes they stand for. Tho only thing) to regret Is that the j.'.or.der' of Secretary Straus came twen? ty years Into and Is In no wise bind? ing oh the polte?' of the eitles. Al? though Amorlcnus -have long reall/.oil tho danger of harboring anarchists and have repeatedly seen ghastly demonstrations of It, from lluyinur kct days down to tho assault on the chlof of police of Chicago, concerted notion has never been taken. With each fresh offcune the police of vnrl; ous oities have been momentarily In . spired with grout real, harmless crunk* have been shadowed, togeth? er with bloodthirsty nnarolilatlc iuu lilaos. und Uli alike have 1.n forgot? ten. u8 soon an a new pickpocket up poared or a biink teller went wrong. Stich occasional, uiiBysteniatlc prod? ding only served to Irritate the unde? sirable elements and to impress still more deeply upon diseased minds the "tyranny" of all government, without putting them whore they could do no harm lo Americans, but if the police throughout Ihe country continue to loyally respond lo Mr. Straus' call a lio-.vt of dangerous characters will be Speedily bundled into outbound steam? ers and bidden adieu without an an ? rovolr. But so long us municipal authori? ties are under no stronger obligations than that of courtesy to assist the Federal government in an unpleasant ? task tho success of iMr. Straus' plan ||witl vary with the personnel of local police bureaus und the department of commerce and labor. Anarchists and criminals will continue to congregate In towns where corrupt politicians find tin in useful or when* weak po v';llee fortes dread to combat with J,hcm. The numbvi' of such commu? nities Is large?so large linked. Hint they might servo as a base of opera? tion for all the crooks und lunatics In Christendom. Perhaps some day ? Americans will loam that after an niutsunl epidemic of crime, that clt , ics. states, aud the Federal govern ';? ment must work together more sys? tematically and relentlessly than a' ; present in stumping out murders. If the. European sy*,t<m of general rog 8 Utration 1? utterly repugnant to our .; Individualistic countrymen, as it scciiu ^pviie, some other method must be de vlfJOil to trace and control suspects j)Bd offenders without regard to the toolings or local hosi.es and tiiulil tuiKtaWori. Until criminals are made to reel lisafe in every part or the country, i,l anarchists know the folly of try ig to couccal their diabolical aspfra 5ns, ;;lien degenerate:- will not he icatly terrified by the deportation ;ui?.o in the Immigration act. HERESY HUNTING IS POOR SPORT rhe Methodist minister who re ItJl got his* name in print py pro pUtg clinxgCH ngainst Chancellor In uon- out with accusations of trotlcai teachings"against ihe ofll dal editor or tho denomination's Sun? day school publication. A low weeks uro ho was vainly before au ecclesi? astical cuurt as prosecutor or tho edi? tor of tho Now York Christian Advo? cate, the foremost Methodist publica? tion In this country. Tho man's only claim to public attention is his con slant endeavor to prove somebody a doctrinal heretic, or nil oftoitdor against ecclesiastical law. Uniform failure seems to have at? tended these recent efforts. The snort of heresy hunting meets with poor success these days, although a gener? ation ago charges of heresy would Stir religious circles from center to] circumference. Now only languid in? terest can be awakened In even th.v most consplclous cases. A few years ago a Presbyterian minister In New' York, with a kindred taste to that of this Methodist for attracting public nttohtlon to himself, tried Ills hardest ?even goliiK to the length of employ lug a press agent?to have himself expelled from Hie Presbyterian churca for heresy. Dili all in vnlu. The fact Is. tliCBO are more tolerant Mines. in religion, as in all other spheres, a man Is allowed wider lati? tude of heller nnd conduct.* Doctrinal strictness ami sectarian narrowness have Inrgolyj declined. The themes that now neom to Interest many churches arc thoso pertain? ing to co-operation, Increased efficien? cy in administration, more practical service along philanthropic and socio? logical lines and a closer relation be tweon Sunday's creed and every day's creed. They have takes, hohl of the mai? ler of safe schoolhouacs in Illinois with a linn and comprehensive grip. The authorities In thai state have closed all school bouses not known to bo properly equipped with omor genoy tire exits, tire escapes, doors to swing outward and similar dovlccit for tho prompt, dispersal of tholr In? mates. And they will all lie kepi closed until each anf ?>!? of thefts precautionary appliances are sup? plied. Now they are talking of giving Speaker CanilOII tho second place on the Republican ticket as a sort of i consolation prize, and Uncle Joe'Is not making the same loud protest against "lowering! t.he dignity of the grcal state Illinois" that he was mak? ing a few months iiro. Possibly he seen rare consolation In tho chance of Ijosslng around the members of the Senate like ,ho lias been bossing tho House members, A movement has been started In favor of brief nominating speeches at both the national conventions. If it Is successful, how in the world are tho two cities where the con vein loan are to bo hold going to hold tho del? egates long enough lo get tholr money hack, if it is true thai the candidates have already been Chosen and plat? forms written? A Niw York polled Justice sen? tenced two hoys to go to Sunday school for a minor offense. It is a certainly that Mint Judge did not like Sunday school when he was a young? ster. It must take them a long time to say all the hard things they want to against each other down In ticorgia, Where they begin their campaigns for office two years ahead of I he lime when the convention is to be hold'. The Old Dominion League .seems to have died aborning, it Is Just as well as It certainly would have not in en to the credit of the city of Newport News to be in that class. Tlie slate league is about our size. Tillmun took a new way to dollvbr il, but the language bad the same old puugency and was just as- readable as eVor. It must have made even tlie bunch of egotism iu the While lions', wince. The deepest hole in the ground in Hie world has been discovered In Si beria. Not any deeper than one or two candidates wo have in mind will be burled. ' Nobody probably boliCVOS the story that Russian warships have seize! Turkish vessels loaded with ammuni? tion. Russian warships arc not built that way. There arc sure to be frosts all spring, Kit the only thins they will tillsbt are political aspirations. Friends of Fairbanks say that he It going to spring a surprlso soon. Can' be that ho is going to thaw out. There's, irenrcely anything harde than to pronounce the time after mid night to show you haven't tho hie toughs. FACTS IN FEW LINES A drug store in Moscow has h start >f 700 employees.
