FRIDAY EVENING, FEB. 27 ' THE BECKER CASE IT seems to be an almost accepted: fact that Lieutenant Becker, now remanded for a new trial in con nection with the murder of the gambler Rosenthal, may never again face a jury. This Is all wrong. It is admitted I that if Becker escapes it will be on a! legal technicality. The bulk of the I evidence was strongly against him. There was no apparent doubt as to his guilt either on the part of the pub lic or the jury. If he was not the higher up" in the plot that re sulted in the killing of Rosenthal, he at least was a representative of 'the "System" that was back of the mur der. There seems to be no doubt of that. Nevertheless, in the face of these facts, friends of District Attorney Whitman say that he may never press for a new trial, and the likelihood is that Becker will go free. Whitman faces a grave responsibility in this. He thus practically admits that the bar is unable to obtain a conviction in the face of overwhelming evidence point ing to guilt, and that the judge on the bench is ruled by legal technicali ties instead of the facts in the case. The efficacy of the whole legal sys tem of 'New York State, if not the country at large, is at stake. The plain duty of the District Attorney is to do his full part In the matter. 11© displayed a fine type of courage when he first prosecuted Becker and the men convicted with him. He must not shirk now. The only thing he can do is to move for a new trial, and that promptly. New York might take a lesson in thlß respect from Pennsylvania. Men of wealth and prominent in the State were brought to the bar here for com plicity in the Capitol furnishing frauds. Neither fear nor favor was permitted to stand between Aiem and Justice. The facts in the case and not the ingenious devices of clever law yers governed the judge and jury. It Is this kind of criminal law that New York needs at this time. VICIS PRESIDENTIAL VIEWS IT is a grand thing for the courttry that the personal views of a Vice- President do not have the weight of those of his immediate superior. Else one T. R. Marshall would be keeping the nation in hot water half the time and "cussing" his foolish prattle the other half. Just now he has chosen to express himself in generalities that would shame the wiseacre of a country cor ner store. Says he, for example, "500,000 people annually come from our schools to achieve success and 400,000 are failures." What constitutes a failure? Is it the sober, industrious citizen who goes about his daily tasks, year in and year out, paying his debts, caring for his family and obeying the laws? Or is It the favored son of a political up heaval who, finding himself unexpect edly in office by a minority vote. Chooses to spend his time saying wise sounding things that mean nothing? Speak up, Mr. Marshall, it's your turn to say something. HOW SULLIVAN* "CAME BACK" JOHN L. SULLIVAN happened into New York the other day and his appearance along Broadway was so unusual that newspapers writ ers sought him out for an interview. Time was when the name of "John L." was in the news columns every day and his was a familiar figure in all the "sporty" cafes of the big city. It is remarkable that almost a score of years after he went down to defeat before Corbett. the old pugilist should be worth "front page space" in the metropolitan press. Sullivan is an unusual man in many ■ways. He was, first of all, the great est American fighter that ever donned a glove. In the second place he was In the heyday of his career generous to a fault, witty and full of homely Wisdom, that constantly into good copy for the reporters. The public liked him and he went the rum-routs of the average pugilist It To-day he Is married to a quiet little woman who does not know the difference between the Marquis of Queensbury rules and a right arm jab. He Is bringing up two little boys, not his own, who would otherwise be homeless, and he is running a little moving picture theater so successfully that he will soon have enough money laid aside to enat -• him to retire on a comfortable compstence In his old age. j He has no more hankering for the | ring. The white lights hold no at traction for him. He indulges in none of poor old Bob Fitzsimmons' talk of "coming back," for Sullivan has "come back" In a way that beats prize ling supremacy to a frazzle. The lesson In this is that success often lies in defeat, if we will only sea it, and that nobody is so far down that he cannot rise again if he Is de termined to do so. THE POPULAR SONG the popular song be censored?" asks the editor of the "Woman's World." On first thought we are Inclined to reply, no, it should be prohibited. It is pretty nearly a fault of the ! language to designate both "Annie Laurie" and that ribald snatch of tin ] horn melody, "When I Get You Alone | To-night," by the common name of I song. There is about as much differ- I ence between them as there is be- I tween the tinkle of sweet toned bells and the croaking of a family of frogs in a puddle, with the difference In fa vor of the frogs who never say any thing offensive, no matter how dis turbing their racket may be. I Listening to the crimes that are • perpetrated in every vaudeville house in the country in the name of music one must pause to wonder how the performers "get it over." Many of the so-called tunes are not tunes at all, but this variety seldom reaches the stage that might be called "popu lar"—when hurdigurdies play them and street urchins whistle them. The attraction certainly cannot be with the words. They often do not even make sense. Eliminating the words, then, there must be something of merit in these tunes that do "get over" the footlights and which catch the popular fancy. The lilt, the time and some haunting phrase in the re frain may be at the bottom of their popularity. It matters not. The tunes persist until they are virtually worn out by constant repetition. The thing to do then, it would seem, would be to let the "composers" go their ways and get after the writ ers of the words. Eliminate the ob jectionable sentiment and there will be small harm in the popular song tune, albeit little to elevate. GETTING AHEAD LIVING on a salary is a more or less precarious form of exist ence, but it is not wise for every man to go into business for himself. Some men are not fitted for that responsibility, and there are a great many failures of men who strike out for themselves without suf fi?ient backing of capital or experi ence. *" However, if you never save any money out of your salary, you will never get ahead financially. You al ways will be the tail of another man's kite, always stoking to keep up steam in the boilers of somebody else's busi ness. Plan your course so that you will not always be dependent upon your salary. Build up a reserve fund. From time to time make wise invest ments, and in a comparatively few years you may become independent, and In the meantime you will be able to do better work and more of it, be cause your mind will be relieved of anxiety as to what would happen if your regular income should fail. How one salaried man got ahead is told in this letter a Chicago man wrote to his savings bank: I was married in 1904 on a salary of $75 a month. In November, 1910, I was receiving $135 a month. That winter sickness cost us $360, and we had very little money in the bank to pay for It. We determined that we would save. To show what people can do with a fixed determination to succeed, we began immediately to save from $35 to $75 a month, and In eighteen months I paid in $1,050 on a lot and sold my equity for $1,200 cash and also paid back a loan of SSO with interest. Two days after I received my • cash I reinvested my money In an other lot, paying $1,200 down on a $2,400 lot. 1 then had about sl,- 850. Two days afterward I Invest ed again. I paid $550 cash on two lots at a contract price of $5,600. In two days I sold my contract on one for $575 cash, making S2OO net on transaction. That afternoon I bought another one for $2,800, pay ing $275 down and in two and one half days I sold my $275 equity for $575, making S2OO on th-t lot. I then had one lot left on which I had paid $1,200 down, keeping rhe balance for investment. In about five and a half months 1 sold my $1,200 equity for $2,000. November 12, 1913, I purchased another lot for $2,638. One does not need to deprive himself of the comforts of lire to accomplish the foregoing results, for we have lived very comfortably and I have given my mother from $5 to $lO per month during this time, and last summer I purchased a motor boat and my family and I spent three months at ono of the nearby lakes. I have a checking and savings account also With about S3OO to my credit after paying for my last lot. I consider it worth any man's time and Interest to save and go with out some of the luxuries or life, If he can start with sls In November, 1910, and have $3,000 cash in No vember, 1918, three years there after. It will not take long for a thrifty man like this to become independent of the pay envelope and fearless of the "pink slip." lewnine- Chan AY hile the cold snap baa caused con siderable Inconvenience to farmers and fruit growers because of the deep snows preventing the outdoor work which Is ordinaliiy inaugurated at this period of the winter, it has not been an unmixed blessing. The fruit crop has been "killed" regularly by cold waves In March and the chief reason for what damage is done and which is not exaggerated Is that the buds are forced t>> the mild weather of Spring anu open to such an extent that when Jack Frost comes along with his frost biush they are ghen a dousing of cold wn.th ends their career. This winter the cold weather has come at a period which wiii hold back the development of the buds and enable them to open later on when reasonable weather may be expected. Then ,too, the snow is furnishing an abundant quantity of moisture which will flu the earth with water and cause springs and small streams to (low In the Spring time. VV here the weather is hitting the farm ers Is in the prevention of spraying in the orchards and the fertilizing and preparation of the fields for the Spring ploughing. Some farmers have already started to fertilize and sledges of lime, phosphate and manure are to be seen standing at the sides and even in the midst of fields which are being spotted" while the enow remains deep on the ground. The order of the Pennsylvania Steel Company Jo the residents of the lower West Side to vacate their houses will result In the removal of some of the « A. b V ,lt structures on the west side ot the borough and where some of the good, solid, substantial people of the town have lived. These houses were u w e e| £htles and one row, which lined a part of Main street, was Known as "foremen's row," as almost every man who occupied a house in that line was in charge of some gang or force of the steel works. The lower end was composed of a couple of other rows which were occupied first by Irish and later by negro families, who used to furnish considerable diversion for the authorities in the borough 'specially after the old-fashioned "pay The use of the snow banks for ad vertising purposes has been one of the unique and Interesting features of the recent storms in this city.

Brum baugh as a candidate for the Repub lican nomination for Governor appears to be general all over the State and the support being promised to the Philadelphia educator in the event that he agrees to stand as a candidate shows that he will run well. No other candidate has been mentioned up to to-day with so much favor except ex-Governor Edwin S. Stuart, who has declined to be a candidate. Dissatisfied Bull Moosers In Phila delphia have urged that Brumbaugh should also run on the Washington party ticket for Governor and that the vote at the primaries would fur nish a practical method of ascertain ing the "get-tog&her" movement. Dr. Brumbaugh is in Richmond and is expected home within a few days. Thomas H. Greevy, the Altoona Democrat, issued a statement last night in which he stated that there was no truth in the ■'''"""lit that tho ' conference of Hunt- Greevy Says lngdon and Blair There Was No Democrats bad en- Endorsement ..icuormick for Governor. Mr. Greevy was at the conference and in his state ment telegraphed to Philadelphia last night says: "Have just seen the tele gram In the papers sent broadcast from Huntingdon that at a meeting yesterday McCormick and Palmer were endorsed. I was present at the meet ng and their names were not men tioned. The meeting was in the in terest of H. J. McAleer for senator. Prior to the meeting Congressman Dershem and I had a controversy about the governorship. Am satisfied lie was there for the purpose of put ting through an indorsement, but he did not mention their names in the meeting." The Philadelphia Record of to-day says: "The slating of Dean William Draper Lewis for tho Washington party nomination for Governor has met with Lewis te considerable opposition Butrped By in the Bull Moose ranks, Big Mooser and it is reported that there may be an .open rupture when the local county committee holds its regular meeting next Monday night. William F. Deakyne, who has been regarded as one of the chief financial backers ot the local Roosevelt movement, makes no secret of his dissatisfaction. "I have no dislike of Dean Lewis person ally,' said Mr. Deakyne yesterday, "but I do not like the methods by which ho was selected. I want a candidate who can win and I am convinced that Mr. Lewis cannot win.' "Senator Penrose also took his fling at the Bull Moose leaders. 'The slating of tho Washington party candidate at Harrie'cirr by a few men was the mosi arrogant attempt at bossism in the po litical history of the State,' he de clared. 'lt was more pronounced bossism than the so-called Progressives have ever charged Against their po litical opponents. There is no assur ance that the candidates slated will be the choice of the Washington party voters at the election in May'." The Bull Moosers who fondly im agined that their troubles were over when their inside council picked a ticket for the Wash- ington party voters to Bull Moosers accept at the May prl tJuhappy at maries are as badlj the Outcome disappointed as are the reorganization Demo crats at refusal of the rest of the State to accept /the Jersey ticket for the Penns- lvania Demo cratic nominations. The faction which wanted State Treasurer Robert K. Young is not throwing up hats over the slating of Lewis and the Flinn men are displaying much eagerness to finance the campaign, having in mind i Flinn's recent declaration in this city that the militant Bull Moosers are to furnish the sinews of war this year. In this city there is a disposition to let Doc Kreider, who was the sole beneficiary in the way of fat office as the result of the election of Powell, furnish the cash. The slating of Percy F. Smith has irritated a lot of Demo crats and the only crumb of comfort is in the naming of Dr. Swift because of his Anti-Saloon League connection. J.

He don't like no vun to trespass on his farm. Not long ago he stood upon his porch und looked about, For nothing In de vurld he gif a darn, Yen all at vunce he noticed strangers digging great big holes Mit picks und shovels all around his barn. He valked up to de foreman und said: "Vat you doin' here?" Der ■ foreman answered. "Vy, ve're digging holes Because der company vants dem for der telegraphic line Dat dey're goln' to run across der farm on poles." "Vy dis Is my farm," Schnitzel said, "und I don't know about No pole line vat I said could go In here." "Oh, dat's all right," the foreman said, "you see dese papers, veil Mlt dem I can do anything—you hear?" Old Schnitzel turned upon his heel, went over to his barn. An angry bull he turned loose in der yard, Und all the men got out der vay except the foreman who Vas taken quite completely off his guard. The chase began, the foreman ran around the yard three times. Vhile Schnitzel laughed und on his pipe did pull. The foreman yelled for mercy, but old Schnitzel only asked: "Vy don't you show your papers to der bull?"
