THE PRESS ON THE RESULT
ROOSEVELT DID 1T.

New York World.
s'The reactionary result in this city
yesterday was provoked by the pig
headed folly of the president of the po-
lice board. But for the exasperating eff
feet of Mr.. Roosevelt's uncalled-for, I'M
just, harsh, and oppressive execution of
the Sunday excise law, union of all the
anti Tammany forces would have been
as easy and as triumphant as it was last
year. The predicted reaction has come.
Tammany triumphs in the first election
after its tremendous overthrow. The
result is dlscouraging. 1t impeaches the
capacity of the people tor self-govern-
ment. 1t shows that the voters
are more susceptible to wrongs
than intelligent as to remedy. Every
consideration of decent politics, good
government, and the liberalizing of
sumptuary laws required the success of
the reform ticket. One mans obstinate
folly and the unreasoning anger OF the
people have defeated it.
1.-THE large Republican majority in the
State will stand monument to the sort
of virtue that exploits itself in regulat-
ing the morals of other people. The
wider political consequences of the result
are grave. 1t means the strongest pos
sible nomination by the Democrats for
President, and the hardest struggle in
years as the basis of hopeful campaign

The Washington Post says that SEN
ator Butler is the youngest man ever
elected to the United States Senate. A
correspondent of the Messenger says
that David Stone was elected to the
Senate when thirty-one years and fifteen
days old. Henry Clay was born on April
18th, 1777, and in the winter of 1906
was appointed to the United States Sen
ate to fill out an unexpired term. He
was afterwards elected to the Senate for
full term in 1909.

Democratic Disagreement Responsible

Democratic Disagreement hespOnSlDic
Washington Post.
Yesterdays elections resulted in the
only way that was or could have been
expected by any intelligent observer of
events. Since it came into power, nearly
three years ago, the Democratic party
has done nothing Is commend itself to
the admiration and confidence of the
people, and there was no reason why the
people should, at this stage of affairs,
withhold the expression of their distrust
and discomfort. They have had the
spectacle of a Democratic admins
tration antagonizing and discred-
iting Democratic leaders in diff
ferent States, interfering in local poll
tics everywhere, prescribing and perse-
cutting party men of honorable service and
established fealty and in various other
ways encouraging and aiding the Democ-
racy's hereditary enemy. How could it
be hoped, much less expected, that an
organization thus rent asunder by dis
sension and enfeebled by the deliberate
acts of its appointed chiefs should pre-
vail against compact, harmonious and
enthusiastic foeS 1t was not expected,
though loyal Democrats may have hoped
against hope, and the result is that the
party has sustained defeat far more
significant and momentous than even the
popular and passionate rebuke of 1894.
AS we explained a day or two ago, the
outcome in New York, Maryland and
Kentucky carries with it a special and
peculiar significance. In those three
States at least the contamination
is, directly and Enthusiastically, the
fruit of party treachery and folly.
All three of them are Demo
cratic under normal conditions-M Mary
land and Kentucky being Democratic
always in default of some extraordinary
and phenomenal upheayal of resentment
and disgust Every one of those States
should have gone Democratic this year
and would have done so under intelli-
gent direction and loyal leadership. The
fact that in all of them there was a
movement against the party ticket
directed by men who spoke or pretend
ed to speak fer the administration leaves
nothing to be explained. The sinister
and fatal conditions set up by Democra-
tic inefficiency in government were sup
plemented by intestine discords and
petty animosities. The outcome was an

A Nash county negro who has served
eight terms in the penitentiary for steal

that Institution at p. M, on recent

THE Populists in Kentucky have been
praising Senator Blackburn and Hardin
all the summer and fall. They let a

They hold the balance of power in the

A FEW days ago we said that the
Maryland contest would practically de-

Maryland, the Baltimore Sun or Senator
German. The Sun is on top by big
majority. 1t made bold, aggressive,
able and courageous fight, and had the
merit of being terribly in earnest and
purely honest. The Sun was the David
that slew the Maryland Goliath. The
Sun says it means that Maryland shall
henceforth be Democratic. Let us hope

In South Carolina, under its new con-

The purposes of the Tennessee centen-
NAL are threefold. First, to celebrate
the States birth. Second, to show the
rest of the sisterhood how really i'm
portant Tennessee is. Third, to show
Tennesseans whatever the other States
and foreign countries may want to show
them. According to history, Vermont
and Kentucky preceded Tennessee into
the Union, but in good natured way
Tennesseans claim that the technicalities
in the case entitle their commonwealth
to the right of the first born. AT any
rate, Tennessee is the first to celebrate
the one hundredth anniversary of her
statehood and that thought has awaken
ed an unprecedented patriotism through
out the State.
