THE readiness with which

the Government in subscrib-
ing for the recent loan has
had a not less favorable effect
upon the political than upon

THE Tribune, the great Re-
publican paper of New York
City, declares that the Repub-
lican party OF New York is
worse now than Tammany
ever was. The party got into
power on a reform wave, the
same as rolled over Maryland
last fall. Since the day OF
election reform" has been
forgotten and there is nothing
but a scramble for the offices.
When will the people awake
to the fact that there is seldom
anything to be gained by
severing party ties? The his
tory OF politics is that the
politicians OF all parties are
looking out for self. If they
are defeated this year and not
eternally and everlastingly
crushed they will bob up
serenely next year as reform
ers' and unite with the disap-
pointed members OF other
parties to down the party in
power. Have they one sin.

Not much! what they want is
to get the other fellows out o.
office that they may get in. In
Maryland the way to get gen
uine reform is for Democrats
to stick to their party and de-
mand the nomination for office

party. Go into the primaries
