HOME-GROWN LOAFER8.

A gentleman tourist in the City Court other day told Judge Newton that the police should not be so hard on the s% transient, but should er^di^ate the ,vi "home-grown" loafer,, who, lie said, had none of the admirable ethics of th« L,i "professional hobo.". Now there is'a matter to which the ablest'economists might set their minds.

The suggestion is wcirth consideration. The "home-grown city loafer" is a creature readily enough recognised, ft-sv foi and no particular community has a monopoly on him.

It is quite probable, too, that a large part of the small thieyery with which I?-the police havq constantly to deal, is committed by this class rather than by the' hoboes, so called. The ordinary fe" tramp is ttbt vicious. He is merely «.j shiftless and Invariably he feels him-

Belt, aggrieved against society. 'i But the hoboes' plea, even granting 6& its truth, scarcely simplifies the probi! lem either for the police or the public. If anything, it is easier to control fv the hobo than it is the street corner loafer. Of the two, also, the hobo Is more deserving of lenient treatment.. '"The "home-grown loafer"-in normal times merits neither sympathy nor charity. He is a grafter and a menace to the peace of the community. Society would be happier without him.

There is a hobo problem, however, as well as a loafer problem, and they occaeionally run together. While it may fi do violence to the pride of self-respect

ing tramps to be accused of offenses of which another class Is guilty, the confusion is, after all, natural enough. Both the hobo and the loafer are parasites, and their fruits are evil. The world .Is rather too busy for fine distinctions, anyway.

THE FINAL CURTAIN.

According to a dispatch in the Sunday Tribune, Mrs. Becker. had attached to her husband's casket a silver plate bearing an inscription, "Murdered by Governor Whitman, 1916." Aside from all other aspects of the case, one thing was notable in the Becker story, the hungTy assimilation of every detail connected therewith and the evident sympathy with the executed. Becker protested his innocence to the last, his wife clung to his asservations to that effect and the influence on the public mind was a widespread doubt as to his actual guilt. Considering the mountain of evidence against him, there was no doubt in the mind of the jury that he had incited to murder. By terms of the law Becker was Justly .punished. He was clearly guilty of the crime- of murder In the first degree. As a punishment for that crime the statute of New York prescribes killing' by electricity. Had Becker escaped this' punishment another miscarriage of justice would have been added to an appalling long list. Where many escaped, Becker paid the rightful penalty.

So it is ended, and the world will hear little more of Charles Becker. The world may even forget that wonderful wife, whose devotion has won the 'deepest admiration of a people which does not freely pause for admiration.

It is ended satisfactorily and justly. But there will be few who read the story of the ending who will feel satisfaction or gratification. The execution of such a man brings little gloating. It may even bring forgetfulness of his crime and pity for the criminar.

Where, then, is the inconsistency? Becker deserved the extreme penalty and he did not deserve P}ty. May it not be that the penalty is wrong that the civilization of the United States of America is coming to realize both the bad logic and the brutality of killing men by process of law?

fidence in the future of business, such as has not prevailed for a number of years. The general business situation at home is growing more and more en couraging. We are sure of good crops and good prices. The activity of the steel trade, whioh is now running at nearly ninety per cent capacity, is also a helpful business factor, especially in view of better prices. Throughout the agricultural districts and the manu facturing districts there will ungues tionably be greater prosperity than year ago. The purchasing power of the people is increasing. Owing to the war and its absorbing influences, econ omy in both the home and the shop has become general. Savings are undoubt edly accumulating. These would seek investment if conditions were only more settled and propitious. The war, however, and its grave possibilities impose a decided restraint upon all new Investments and new enterprises, Henry Clews, one of the foremost bankers of the country, says: "For the time being Investors prefer to place their funds In securities of proved stability and profit theexcep tlon being the venturesome few who are staking their chances upon industrials receiving war orders. Loanable funds are plentiful and easy money, with prospects of its continuance, is also stimulating factor of considerable lm portance. In the steel trade, although activity is largely due to war orders, the railroads have been more ready purchasers. So, too, have the build ing interests, whose orders have been held back In the 'hbpe of securing bed rock prices. 'Apparently, these were reached some time ago hence the out coming of belated buyers., Reports from the inferior Indicate a Vider dis tribution iri all staple products, and the cotton goods! trade has opened the season with encouraging results.
