reason, if for no other, it is a good 
thing. 
New York is about due for a muni- 
cipal house-cleaning, and at present 
it looks as though the only man who 
would be equal to the task is Dist- 
Atty. Charles S. Whitman, whose 
work on the police graft cases has 
made him famous all over the world. 
Provided it was on an anti-Tammany 
ticket, Mr. Whitman would run for 
mayor, so he says, and everyone who 
is opposed to Tammany methods and 
graft is trying to bring about a fusion 
of the anti forces in an effort to elect 
him as the city’s chief executive at 
the coming election. ‘The district at- 
torney is too busy on the police cases 
to go after the nomination, but if there 
is an honest fusion of the opposing 
forces of Tammany, New York may 
look for a thorough spring cleaning 
in all of its various departments. 
The Pennsylvania railroad usually 
leads in reforms, and it has made a 
rule recently that should be adopted 
by all railroads. Hereafter when there 
is a wreck or a train is stopped en 
route to its destination, the train crew 
are obliged to answer correctly ques- 
tions the passengers may ask as to the 
cause of delay. It is a sensible plan. 
Bulletins are to be posted at stations 
when trains are late, an added con- 
venience. 
Senator Lodge came from Wash- 
ington to attend the town meeting in 
his home town, Nahant. If they are 
anything like the town meetings of its 
neighbor, Revere, they are worth go- 
ing a long distance to attend. 
Rodman Law could not take his 
proposed trip into the air on a sky- 
rocket until he had a permit for dis- 
charging fireworks. The Jersey City 
police are quite careful. 
The Easter rabbit and the March 
hare are very intimate this year. 
The Holding Company is taking 
account of “stock.” 
Some people are never satisfied. 
They even want to make hay when it 
rains. 
A woman’s husband doesn’t so of-

It isn’t ignorance of the law that 
defeats a client so often as the ignor-
