ELECTION NIGHT ON
THE EAST SIDE

Down in de Ate" that East Side
neighborhood made famous by the sin
full rule of Martin Engel and his "as-
ISOLATION" the truth dawned with in
credible slowness. AS the record of
fusion gain was impaired to him En-
gel fumed in anger. When the returns
from his own district came in, showing
that his candidate for Assembly, rs
sy' Cohn, had gone down in defeat,
Engel sprang up, and shouted, wrath
fully: tits a liei My figures don't
show it,"
A little while later he learned in the
most unpleasant manner possible that
his figures had played him false. There
came to his ears the booming of drums
and the strains of triumphal music. 1t
grew louder and louder It was pass
ing the window. In a wagon behind
the band rode Charles s. Adler, the OPP
posing candidate, and marching be-
hind him three thousand shouting men
waving the brooms with which they
had swept Engel and the Red Light
horror out of the district There were
pictures of Adler. and of Jerome
whose sharp-tongued canvass had
made the campaign one of misery for
the lawless rulers Of the East side
There were cheering crowds upon the
sidewalk, there were fireworks in the
air; in Adler's carriage there were
flowers which young women of the Ed
ucational Alliance had thrown to him
as he went by. And most calling of
all. the windows of the crowded tene-
ments were filed with people waving
flags and handkerchiefs and crying out
a welcome to the new era of decency.-

THE SAVANNAH GUARDS
AND PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT

According to the newspapers, the
Savannah (Ga.) Volunteer Guards are
considering very gravely whether it
will not be expedient for them to with
draw an invitation lately given to
President Roosevelt to be present at
the Tooth anniversary of the formation
of their battalion, which they propose
to celebrate next spring. The invita-
ton was toyously sent just after Presi-
dent Roosevelt took office, and is said
to have been favorably considered, but
now it is reported that, in consequence
of a recent incident, the presence of
DR. Roosevelt seems likely, to some
members of the battalion, not to be
congenial to some of the Southern
leaders whom they have expected to
entertain. If the Guards should with
draw their invitation, they would doubt
less add considerably to the mirth Of
nations, but not even a natural solicit
tude for the promotion Of gayety can
warrant q conscientious paragrapher
in egging them on to that course. 1t
will do them good to confabulate with
Dr. Roosevelt, whose fog dispelling
presence seems just now to be partic-
,ularly needed in the South. II they
Withdraw their invitation they will be
sure to be sorry, their Northern we'll
wlshers viii regret it and their North
crn critics-if they have any-will grin.
Presumably the Guards are young men.
There must be plenty Of elders in
Savannah who can give them wise ad-
vice The more of President Roose-
velt's company the South can get, the
better for the whole country. There is
no substantial reason why the Presi-
dent and the South should not get to-
gether. Nothing separates them but
fog. and that may lift any minute
