VAN WICK NOMINATED FOR JUDGE


The Tammany mayor of New York,
Van Wyck. who made himself so OBJ
noxious as a surly and unmannerly
magistrate, has been nominated by
Tammany for justice of the Supreme
Court. Van Wyck lacks the high moral
character and the fine judicial tenn
permanent that should be demanded by
the people of every candidate for this
high office.
New York has bQasted that in spite
of the dangers of her system of elect
ing Supreme Court justices her courts
have been free from scandal. She has
put some men on the bench in recent
years. however, that do her no credit
Van Wyck should not be added to the
list.
The course of Judge Maynard a few
years ago caused the Democratic party
to lose control of the empire state and
possibly was responsible for keeping
the national administration Republi-
can. Tammany sees the Importance of
nominating for mayor a man of clean
character. The old war cry of four
years ago for a wide OPEN policy
they have not dared TO use on this oc-
casion. They have not dared to nom
mate thug for office of mayor. They
should have been equally careful, if
their game Is to be successful, in nom
mating candidates for the Supreme
Court.
The New York Bar Association open
ly condemns their nominations, both
for the Supreme Court and for the city
court.

Just why man should be kept at

BILE portion of the inhabitants can
reason out. Yesterday noon when the
wind was blowing a miniature gale
down Main Street such an individual
was in evidence in front of City Hall.
Just what good was accomplished by
his effort was difficult to determine.
The principal effort seemed to be di-
rected toward stirring up the dust so
that it might be swept down the street
lin clouds and incidentally down the
backs of pedestrians.
Merchants and pedestrians on Main
Street, in the neighborhood of the Post
Office, are hoping that the blind man
who attracts the sympathy of passers-
by in that neighborhood will be in
duced to sell lead pencils instead.
There is no lack of sympathy for the
poor fellows misfortune, but the
sounds that he extracts from the fiddle
are an addition and practically con-
tinuous misfortune to everybody with

Its pretty tough luck when man
moves into the country and takes
charge of one of the delightful sub
urban hotels and then has to come into
town when he wants bath. At least
this was the verdict of a number of

gentleman from the suburbs finally eX-
planned that he was headed for the
Turkish bath and they let it go at that.

EDITORIAL COMMENT

Representative Democrats in New
York do not propose to be dragged at
Mr.. Cookers chariot wheels. The
Manhattan Club for example, the older
Democratic organization and very
different affair from the club of which
Mr.. Croker is the ruling spirit, has dis
tinctly repudiated the ticket headed by
Mr.. Shepard. This is as serious blow
as any Tammany has yet had to en-
dure, It means that practically all the
responsibility of the city is arrayed
against that gang of public plunderers.
The Manhattan Club would not refuse
to indorse the nominal party candi-
dates except under strong provocation.

I've seen women with wads Of bright
braud-new bills fiustered when they
came to pay for purchases, because
they hadn't sufficient old money to
meet the charges. They would dig out
the contents of their purses and stow
the crisp notes to one side, and, if they
couldn't scrape up the sum in a few
cases I've known them to go without
buying. Others will give utterance TO
little feminine EXPLANATIONS of dSmay,
and will hasten to pay for the articles
selected in the new money, Then they
will march off with quite a show of in
dignatjou, just as if they had been in.
