THe Mopern INvENTIONS, which have made jour- 
nalism so perfect and increased the rapidity with which 
publicity is now obtained on any subject, is having a 
distinct advantage for the betterment of police records 
and for the good of all communities. In the days of 
slow transportation, inadequate mail service and no tele- 
phone or telegraph communications it was often possi- 
ble for the criminal to go about his personal degenerating 
career for years without apprehension. But modern in- 
ventions have in a large measure checked crime and con- 
sequently has exerted a deterrent effect upon criminals. 
It is no longer safe for a criminal anywhere. “Murder 
will out and crime will come to light.” This has never 
been more evident than in the last month when so many 
mysterious and apparently unfathomable mysteries have 
been so quickly solved by publicity gained through the 
daily journals and the rapid communication made possi- 
ble by the telephone and telegraph. 
Ir Has BEEN well suggested that the English de- 
cisions in cases of insanity might be adopted in America. 
In America when insanity permits the criminal to escape 
justice the verdict is, “not guilty but insane.” In Eng- 
land the criminal is adjudged ‘‘guilty and insane.” As 
the matter stands now Harry K. Thaw is under no ser- 
ious criminal charge before the courts because the judg- 
ment of the jury was, “not guilty, but insane.” 
THE Facurty of Dartmouth College is making a 
commendable effort to remedy the evils of the fraternity 
system and to retain its advantages. The result of fa- 
culty control will be watched with interest. It will be a 
victory for Dartmouth if it finally opens the way for a 
more democratic fraternity and collegiate spirit. 
Tue New York and New Haven Railroad is having 
a hard road to travel these days but who can fail to see 
that its future is bright despite the temporary embar- 
rassment which its present difficulties are causing. 
Proressor Tart has been making a friendly visit on 
the North Shore. As President or Professor he is as 
popular as ever and always welcome. 
WINSTON CHURCHILL’s new book, “Inside the Cup,” 
is well named and is worthy of the author of “Coniston” 
and ‘Richard Carvel.” 
An INTERESTING experiment is to be tried out by the 
City of Malden. One of the failures of our modern city 
government has been the fruitlessness of any efforts to 
make systematic plans for permanent improvements. 
Elected, usually, annually, the tendency of even the best 
city government has been to pass burdens over from one 
year to another. The mayor of Malden proposes in ad- 
dition to regular government, the appointment of what he 
calls a “planning council.” The council is made up of 
five members, one of whom is appointed annually. This 
gives the city a permanent board, so to speak, that can 
plan, not alone for one year, but plan for work over a 
series of years and make careful and exact recommenda- 
tions for the development of the city. Success ought to 
attend the enterprising effort. 
THERE OucutT to be a planning commission for the. 
beautification of the North Shore. This organization 
should have a small membership representing the towns 
along the shore. A voluntary organization of a pro- 
gressive type might make suggestions to the various mun- 
icipal councils and boards of selectmen that would result 
in systematic progress. 
THe GARDNER CAMPAIGN has continued unabated. 
It has been a winning contest for the Captain during the 
weeks past. The passing of the weeks have meant gains 
for him and losses for his competitor. It is still a close 
fight with Gardner as the probable winner. ‘The letter 
campaign seems to be effective in its results. 
THE ScHoot, GARDEN competitions in the communi- 
ties along the shore have never been more carefully man- 
aged or so productive of good results. This work ought 
to be continued from year to year. 
EarLy Frosts have touched the oak and maples on 
many low stretches of land, but winter is still far away. 
The optimist will see the glory of autumn, the pessimist 
the signs of a coming winter. 
THE Apoption of a plank on “woman’s suffrage” by 
the Maryland State Republican convention indicates the 
progress which the woman suffrage program is meeting 
in the Eastern states, 
Wir Over four million dollars worth of building 
construction going on, Cambridge is a busy place. Still 
Cambridge occasionally states the university does but lit- 
tle for the city. 
THE FREQUEN? disasters that are recorded in the 
daily journals show that the road of the automobilist is 
not always clear. 
Too Mucu Praise cannot be given to Colonel Sohier 
for his indefatigable labors for good roads on the shore. 
SEPTEMBER has been a “star” month so far. 
new comets have come to light hitherto unknown. 
Two 
Tur Derrense of the great international cup sought 
a skipper in Massachusetts of course! 
CoNGRESSMAN GARDNER will have his planks—and his 
innings. 
THE PHEASANTS never were so plentiful.
