AVt Kladly commend this Rood Idea to the sonoroitH people of Scninton. A Workable Idea. RKKOIIM, whlrh a tunjorlty of the people will always favor If there 'Is proved need of It, frills more frequently through defective method than through impregnable opposition. Those urging it go too fast nnd too far for the ma jority to keep up. Homo Wils not built In a day and It Is Avell to remem ber this In planning the reconstruc tion of Scranton. One thing which makes municipal reform more difficult than it ought to bt! in the proneness of its champions to fix a standard corresponding with their own high Ideals, and to expect the public at one clip to jump up to it instead of ascertaining the moral average of the masses and from that ns a starting point gradually building up. The average man, for example, is a partisan who under ordinary circum stances may be counted upon to vote with his party. Having been brought up in this habit until the habit is well established, the impracticability of expecting him suddenly to become non-partisan in city affeira ought to be apparent; but many reformers do not see it and consequently choose the most difficult method within sight when every practical result at which they aim is possible of accomplish ment with much less trouble along ex isting party lines. The machinery of party organiza tions is sufficiently re&ponslve to ma jority sentiment to do whatever that sentiment demands when its demand N clearly presented and sclf-evidently genuine. Even a minority sentiment, if determined, can sometimes control party action, it being well known that the occasional "kicker," as a rule, re ceives greater attention in politics than the man who has always been loyal. The problem confronting the people of Scranton is to organize and encour age the natural preference of the ma jority for clean government in such a way as to enlist the attention and leppeet of the existing political par ties. Trying to abolish those parlies by the sporadic formation of inde pendent movements is futile and more often defeats than elects better can didates for olllcc. Party government i.s inevitable nnd the practical idea Is to accept and Improve It inrtead of wasting energy in vain attempts to de molish it. We believe that the suggestion, out lined yesterday, of a bi-partisan, standing committer of citizens, com posed of practical and representative men fairly apportioned ns to location and race, and undertaking to secuie in each party the nomination of good men for ward and city offices, em bodies a workable idea. It not, why not? Without interfering with any existing organization or challenging the Immediate apposition of netlvo political workers throughout the city, It presents the possibility of a guid ing influence of great worth in the processes whereby city officials are nominated and elected. It starts from a fair average and would try, not to accomplish miracles In inhtantnneoin legeneratlon, but to build up, little by little, in ench ward and section, using the Instrumentalities at hand. The one formidable obstacle Is Upj difficulty of securing busy men of af fairs to volunteer their sen Ices for such an undertaking, which would In volve both time and expense. Yet public spirit exists In cur community and the right kind of demand would no doubt bring into action the right kind of men. This moral certainty Is the caving grace of popular govern ment. Tho hysteria of the antl-Quayltes does not appear to bo contagious this season. Instruction In Crime. UOULiU the criminal code bo ufecd us u text-book In the JJ public schools In order that the young muy know what crime Is and what Its penalties are? In tho liliighamtou Chronicle Chief of Police Monro of that city makes an swer lu tliu ulllrniutlvii and his theory Is endorsed by the UlnBhaniton police commissioners, This, briefly, Is his ar gument; V.cy lioy mil lu know, when he epiiU school, a well as an) Uvvjer, what constitute tin: irimci. of burulaiy, robbery, loui-ny, iiiajheui. foiiciry J ml all IIUo offense:), together with ihu piinlihiiient piuvlded by law for the LoiinnUiion of biuh ultViihCi, and the let nay fur him ti atqnlio IhU knowledge Is tluough the tejt'booU In hU school. In otlnr word, I would jdvoeate the pilntiiu: of the criminal code In school text books boinclhint: after this fashion; Larceny. Larceny bliall embrace, evciy theft which deprive" another of hit money or other pmotul properly. I'uiiUhinent, Every peidon convicted of lar ceny, If tho propeity ktoleii exceed tho value of $23, ihall he Imprisoned In the stale piion or state icfurnutory for u period of not less than ten j ears. If the properly stolen Is of the value of $23 or less, tho person convicted shall lie confined in the county Jail or penitentiary s the city iceorder may elect, and the sentence is distitllonary with liliu not to ccecd one je.ir and I00 line, or both. I would hate, this tnuinciation include every crime that the records show is committed by ; juvenile. In (rachitic boys the criminal code, II should he Ihe duty of the Icnihru to Itn irf Upon their tnlndi the danger nf committing irlnu'. Not only should the irliue be made nb liournt of Itself, lint Ihu fail aliould be Itn prewed Upon tho tnltiil of the scholar that ttioie ttlin commit crlinei are almost icrtnln of dotte lion and punldmienl, Thco lcsom liould lie printed In tho Ihlld reader nnd alt redden alnnc tint KMde, In till" connection, Chief Moore ad vises that the minimum penally for burglary, which In Now York statu Is one your, with subsequent reduction under certain conditions, be Increased In live yenis; nnd that the penalty when the burglar has deadly weap ons Upon him bo Increased to life Imprisonment, on the theory that the presence of weapons It prima facia evidence that murder ir. Intended In case the liuiglar Is discovered. The chief adds Hint he is well nwaiv that muiiy persons of kindly natures will oppose his suggestions. "They will sny," ho experts, "that It Is un w'se to acquaint tho mind of youth with the details of crime; that the effect would bo corrupting. I doi not believe It, for this tvn.son: Kvery school physiology has a chapter, showing tho evil effect, of alcohol upon the human system, upon every organ of the body. I have yet to hear any one declare that It is Injurious or an incentive to tippling. All noted ad vocates of temperance have hnd the best results for their cause by de picting the horrors of intemperance." Tho suggestions, at all events, aro worth considering. They have the merit of proposing something specific, whereas most of the comment upon the subject of crime and Its Incrcnsa is vaguely lamentable and practically of no account. While there seems to be no end to the trouble In South Africa and the Phil ippines, It is a pleasure to note that Hon. Billy Mason Is at peace with the administration and with the world. Arizona. UMK facts of general Inter est about Arizona appear In the annual report of its gov ernor, Hon. N. O. Murphy, to the secretary of "the Interior, for the fiscal year ended June 30 last. Excluding Indians, who number 23, 000, a population of 105,000 with an an nual growth of 5000 Is claimed. The market value of nil property In the territory Is estimated at $100,000,000. Tho number of acres of land returned for taxation is given at 3,849,774. There are 32C.25S cattle, 41!i,f)G4 sheep, and 43,070 horses assessed. Itallroads to the aggregate of 999 miles are taxed, and there are 462 miles of lailroai exempt from taxation for a term of years. The net indebtedness of th territory, bonded and floating. Is stated to be $1,070,830. The public schools of the territory are in a flourishing condition. Theie are nearly 21,000 school children be tween the ages of 6 and IS. Tho edu cation of all children is compulsory, under the law, and there Is hardly a hamlet, however remote, which Iocs not enjoy ample school facilities. Only teachers of the best ability are em ployed, and they are well paid. The average monthly salary of male teach ers is $74,15; of female teachers, $li3.-!0. The school revenues for the year amounted to $121,770.15, raised by pub lic taxation. All the schools are free, ftoin the primary department to the excellent territorial university which Is maintained. The undeveloped re sources of Arizona In precious metals, agriculture, horticulture, grazing, and timber, mineral springs, hot springs, marble and building stone, onyx, coal, and nearly every natural pioduct known to commerce, make theteril tory one of tho wealthiest subdivisions of the Union, and Insures Its future as a great and prosperous state. The value of one year's mineral produc tions exceeds $20,000,000. Arizona has the largest unbroken pine forest In the United States, covering an aiea of over S000 square miles. Tho timber is usually found at an altitude between 5,300 and 7,500 leet. The total quan tity of pine timber fit for sawiifg" purposes within the boundaries of the territory amounts to 10,000,000,000 feet, which can supply the needs of a popu lous state for more than a century. Some largo foiest reserves have been created In northern Arizona and rules promulgated for their legulatlon, with a view to their preservation from spoliation and to prevent destruction by fire. The governor reports that notwith standing the drought from, which Ari zona suffered during the year, the con dition of all Industries In tho territory is prosperous. Since Juno 30, 1S99, tho tcriltorinl banks have been Increased 100 per cent. In number, and there has been an Increase In bank deposits of 32 per cent. Seventy-four miles of railroad have been constructed dining the year, and a number of now lines have been surveyed and are projected, Upon this showing Is based an elo quent claim to statehood. Tho cremating of six young lady stu dents In the Fredonla Normal schotil death trap, when lire-escapes were ar ranged in a manner to make egress Im possible, should bo a lesson In the way of pioventtng futuio casualties of like nature. Are all of the buildings In Scranton, where large numbers congre gate to work, sleep or study, properly provided with means of escape In case of panic? This is a good time tu think it over. A young man at Toledo has bpensent to Jail for kissing u Syrian peddler, It she resembled In any respect the aver ago child of the desert who offers trink ets for sale In willow baskets, It would seem as though the act should lmvu furnished Its own punishment. Mr, Iiryun can scaicely be consldeied as possessing an appreciation of tho fitness of things if ho falls to offer Undo Adlal Stevenson an editorial desk upon his contemplated publication. It begins to look as though Count Von Wuldersee'a departuro from China will bo mude as quletjy as thut of a private citizen riding on a railroad pass.
