THINKS CHiCAGC WAS SLiGHTED

Chicago was given the cold shoulder
at the New York Dewey celebration,
according to President Il. w. Upham,
of the Board of Review. who was the
first of the local committeeman to re-
turn from the East. Mr.. Upham said:
New York certainly did itself proud.
Mere description cannot picture the
to the nations hero. 1t was one of those
things that simply cannot be appreci'
ated by those who didn't see It. The
Chicago men who graced the occasion,
however, got anything but Il hospitable
reception, and those of MS who man
aged to enjoy the four days festivities
with any degree of comfort or pleasure
had our own hustling to do. ;
AT headquarters In the Gilsey
House the delegation found reserved
for Its use a great dormltOry of cots,
looking very much like great hospital
ward, and few We're persuaded to avail
themselves of the accommodations The
Chicago boat, the City Of Lawrence,
was assigned an isolated position for
the naval parade. Those aboard
weren't within gunshot Of the Olympia
and could only find Dewey with the
aid of a powerful field glass.
Dewey Is great, lovable character,
He is white and Enthusiastically care
worn, though there Is activity in his
every movement, almost to the point of
nervousness. had little conversation
with him, although he confided to me
that my cousin, Brooks Upham, who
went to Manila as an ensign on the
Olympia, was "a great fighter and had
received lieutenant's commission for
gallantry in action before the forts of
Cavite. Dewey does not want to be
President, and he is too strong-minded
to allow overzealous friends and admir-
ers to convince him TO the contrary.

CITY WORK AND POLITICS.

Naturally Mayor HurrsOn's plan tn
build one or both Of the South Side In
tercepting sewers by day labor, to be
hired directly by the city, throws the
Republicans into CONSERVATION and
evokes shlvery apprehension among
those Democrats who are not In the
same political camp with the chief en-
ecutive.
All OF these frightened critics hasten
to tell how It will be done. They point
out that IN hiring the wOrkmen, the
only test of illness will be that applied
by the heads of the HarrisOnian ward
organizations. The spades and trOw-
els will be distributed among the fright
gazabos' according to their degree of
Brightness" and with large disregard
ments of their craft. The workmen
will be expected to do their duty at the
primaries and polls, and, above their
actual voting strength, the simple fact
that the administration has $1,000, 900
to distribute among good Democrats
who can tell u brick from a cObble
stone will be a mighty moral influence
through the wards. incidentally, II
the voting is right enough, a few pay
rolls may be stuffed.
Such is the effect of the Mayors plan
as 1t Is painted by the men who of all
others know best from personal eXpe-
rlence how city work is usually done.
The objection of these expert critics
rests wholly on political grounds; but
they add that the style of sewer turned
out by this sort Of arrangement Is like
ly to prove as Objectionable to the pub
lie as the political results will prove
to them,
Can any one say that the picture Ii
exaggerated? Mayor Harrison may be
credited with the best Of motives. But
IL he can hire $1.OOO,O00 worth of day
labor and keep politics out Of 1t under
existing conditions at the City Hal
he will perform something OF miracle
