MAYOR HARRISON's ADMINIsTRA-
TJON

The Illinois senate, through a specially
appointed committee, has been investigat-
ing the administration of Mayor Harrison,
OF Chicago, and has made a report declar-
ing to the public that the trust imposed
in this young man by the people of that
great city has been most shamefully
abused.
The report declares that Mayor Harrison
has practically set at naught all civil serv-
ice rules. that he removed civil service COM
missioners without cause, that he retired
able-bodied policemen TO the pension list
friends. that he has allowed gambling of
all sorts to be carried or without interfer-
ence. If not under the direct protection of
the police
In other words. this young politician, who
has hardly had time TO get acquainted with
the duties and opportunities of his office.
has already turned the city over to the
worst of elements, has made alliances with
the disreputable classes and has used the
authority invested in him to advance his
protection of the city.
Yet this is the man who has been men,
toned more than once as a suitable can
didate for the vice presidency on the next
Democratic ticket, and has even been sug-
gested by certain leaders as a possibility
for first place.
Politics in this country may have come
to pretty bad pass but it is only fair to
the people to say that Harrison's posi-
bilities for party distinction here mentioned
have never been taken seriously by them.
Yet It Is a sad commentary on our political
system that man of this character should
be at the head of one of the most important
municipal governments of the country.
1t should not be forgotten that the party
to which Mr.. Harrison claims allegiance
is endeavoring to foist n similar admins
tration upon the people of Kansas City.

tee says there are but thirty-four votes
against annexation.
The time for voting on the measure has
not been fixed. Its champions evidently do
not desire vote until they can count with
certainty on its passage by the required
majority. This may possibly delay final
action for several weeks more. The coun-
try will be disappointed IL the treaty is
again defeated. Popular sentiment is M
doubtedly in favor of annexation. A
knowledge of this fact has influenced some
senators to favor the measure who other
wise would have opposed it, and it may
influence a few more and give it success.

from parents, voted 10 grant TO students

The True Republican Note. y

From the Philadelphia Press.
In one or two Republican quarters re-
Gently note OF hesitation and doubt has
been sounded. Here and there some halt
Ing representative shrinks from bold and
resolute course and takes counsel of his
own tinlidty. He breads a square, open
stand for the honest money standard and
fears that the next battle may be lost
But this note finds no general response
On the contrary, the answer promptly
comes from all sides that an uncertain,
irresolute and equivocal policy would not
only be repugnant to the whole spirit and
temper of the party. but would be disas-
trouS. There Is general conviction that
safety lies along the pathway of courage.
The true note was struck in the presidents
recent speech in New York. His bold
strong and earnest words have done much
to inviSorate the party. They awakened
an instant and hearty response because
the people waited and wanted Just such
an inspiration. 1t now only remains to go
forward on the line which the president
pointed out. The battle over the currency
must be fought out. and the Republican
party can gain nothing by holding a COM
promising position. 1t should be practical
and rational. but it should be firm and de-
cided.
The president has put himself in the lead
ership of the affirmative policy. The party
is disposed to stand behind him, and it
would be demoralized and defeated IL it
did not. The time for halting and hesi-
tating Counsels has gone by, and Republic
anism must move steadily and resolutely
forward for the highest financial security
and stability.

Jealous of LIE GaIIicnne.

From the Chicago News
1t is not strange that the coming of Rich
ard lie Gallienne should arouse the ire of
Jealousy in the hearts of some of our lesser
singers Richard is soulful. and soulful folk
always make less soulful persons jealous
But to prove that Richard can mount Pc
gaSus and come under the wire several
lengths ahead of the field We desire to
pluck 4 little bud from one of his recent
poetical bouquets:
The moon Is up at half past five.
She frishteus among the pines
The moon. and only half past five.
With half the ruddy day alive.
So soon, high. full she shines.
This daylight moon among the pines"
Richards tender soul shies at the moon
which is up at half past 3, because he is a
poet. If the moon should get up at quar-
ter to Richard would probably have tit
and fall in it.
AlSernon Swinburne Tobias. president of
the Clybourn Avenue Poets Corner Guild
says Richard is all right, and when he
comes to Chicago will be entertained as be-
fits a poet. President Tobias further SAYS
tnat Chicasoans are slow to recognize true
poetic greatness. that they are given to
the more material and sordid pursuits,
hence Richard will! have to earn his way to
the front.
10y SiSHeS i'Si ioh SiouSIdsS, tne poet
laureate of the Prairie Avenue FrauSay
Club, has kindly furnished US with an
adaptation of Richards verse. as follows:
The moon is up at half past hye
The sun is down few minutes earlier;
The tide rises at 4:30 a. m,
Weather for Chicago raw and damp.
Wheat closed at S.!s.
Butter was strong and able,
Hogs received at the yards were many;
