ARCHBISHOP IRELAND HERE,
He Discredits the Report Of HIS Com

There was general interest In Catholic
circles today over the report cabled from
London that Cardinal Gibbons had said
that Archbishop Ireland OF the American
church is to be made q cardinal.
Archbishop Ireland is in Washington
today and was beseged with congratula-
tions by his friends over the report that he
was to be made cardinal. But the arch
bishop was inclined to throw cold water
upon the congratulatory expressions.
II have no reason for believing that
Cardinal Gibbons said the things which are
credited to him in the cablegram,' he
remarked to a friend ''In fact, l 90 not
believe he said them. If what he is cred
tied with saying is true, you may be very

A YELLOW WEEKLY

Leslie's Weekly has committed an
egregious mistake in publishing two
fake pictures Of the execution Of the
Presidents assassin. They were drawn
by T. Dart Walker, an artist who has
too good a reputation to stoop to this
kind of business. Both Of them were
essentially false in every detail. They
did not represent the scenes they pur-
ported to, because the face, figure,
dress and surroundings were not those
of the real execution.
Had Leslie's Weekly offended against
good taste by presenting actual pho
tographs Of the scenes, It would have
been bad enough; but to manufacture
pictures out Of whole cloth, stamps this
magazine as unworthy and unpatriotic
There should have been no attempt in
any newspaper or magazine 10 exploit
this scene, except to state actual facts
The American public expected the sim
pie truth would be told about this ex-
ecution, when, where and how the MUIR
derer was put to death.

THE COFFEE HOUSE
FAILS IN AMERIC

The coffee house is temperance
substitute for the inn in England. 1t
furnishes, minus the intoxicating slim
ulants, similar social features, but it
is tackled on to this same social habits
that the inn developed. In this coun-
try those habits were not formed by
the saloon experience, and the attempt
to establish the coffee house as a sub
stitute for the saloon necessarily lacks
that social incentive which exists in
England. The coffee house here takes
on the feature of the restaurant rather
than either the German beer garden or
the English inn. The Americans have
never learned to go to these places for
their leisurely intercourse and amuse-
ments, and hence do not find it when
coffee is substituted for beer They
have gone to the theatres or to the
clubs for this social outlet.
1t is, therefore, surprising to the
careful student of European and
American traditions that the coffee
house plan does not work in this coun-
try, though it worked well in England.
To be successful, social and economic
as well as political institutions must
largely grow out of the habits, customs
and desires of the people. They cannot
to any considerable extent be trans
planted from one country to another

WORCESTER IS REPUBLICAN,

Worcester is a Republican city and
the vote on Tuesday gave a round
three thousand majority for Governor
Crane AS the Springfield Union said
yesterday there were, as a matter of
fact, no votes cast against Governor
Crane on Tuesday. While Josiah
Quincy received about the usual quota
of Democratic votes, they were not
cast in any spirit of direct opposition
to Governor Crane. His administration
had been as highly satisfactory to the
Democratic citizens of the state as to
the Republican citizens. Not an official
act of the man would have been
changed had the Democratic party's
best principles been carried out. He
has been praised by the Democratic
orators on the stump.
We should have been glad to see the
and common sense in a campaign of
this kind to endorse the nomination of
Governor Crane and give him a COM
plimentary vote. IT certainly would not
have injured them in the contests
where they hoped to elect other can
didates for minor Offices.
The state ticket held its own here
as shown by the vote for Herbert Par
ker. Worcester is Republican by three
thousand in an odd year and by six
or seven thousand in a full vote. Yet,
strange as it may seem, the Demo-
cratic mayor of the city of Worcester
will be justified next month in making
strong fight for reelection. The in
dependent spirit or the spirit of treach-
cry. by whichever name we choose to
call it, has entered into the Republican
party in Worcester County so that in
the municipal campaigns there is no
calculating in advance what the re-
suit will be.
The Spy could name candidates for
mayor who should be able to carry the
city by three thousand. 1t could name
others equally prominent and perhaps
equally deserving, who would lose the
city by a thousand.
The suggestion of Charles NJ
Thayers name was approved by the
Republicans of the city. 1t stirred en-
thusiasm and it is a pity that Mr.
Thayer could not consent to become
the nominee for mayor The city cleo
ton is going to be exciting. There will
be much more doing in the political
line than during the past month in
preparation for the recent state cleo
fion.

OUR ELECTION RETURNS

The enterprise of The Spy on election
night was appreciated by the citizens
of Worcester. It was the only newspa-
per furnishing returns to the hotels
theatres and places of public amuse-
ment, and it was the only newspaper
giving the returns of the city and
county on its bulletins. Hundreds of
people gathered in front of the office
during the evening and until long af-
ter midnight the bulletins attracted at
tention.
There was a general expression of
pleasure over the result in New York
city. The defeat of Tammany seemed
to give the greatest pleasure to all
classes of people who inquired by tel
ephone or in person at the Office of
The Spy.

The reelection of Senator Manning
was deserved.
The lack of any sort of contest
kept the vote down so that Senator
Manning's plurality is much smaller
this year than last, but he had rela-
lively the same hearty and unanimous
Republican support that he had year
ago
He goes back to the Senate, there
fore, with a vote of confidence from his
constituents. He should be even more
useful to the city of Worcester in his
second term than in his first. He will
have a congenial and efficient running
mate in Senator Munroe. Both can be
trusted to do all that is possible in
their different ways to advance the in
terests of the city and county of Wor-
| cester,

A GOOD VICTORY

Senator-elect Munroe has every rea-
son to be proud of his vote. 1t is true
that Mr. Walsh ran ahead Of his ticket
on the strength of the argument that
the city of Worcester had been unfair
in presenting candidates for this office
to the exclusion of candidates from the
county towns. Mr.. Munroe knew that
this argument would be the base Of an
active campaign when he entered the
field, but as 1t seemed probable that
didate in any event, Mr.. Munroe could
not be blamed concerning the condi-
lions and the promises made by pre-
ceding candidates.
When Mr.. Munroe has served his two
terms in the Senate, the Republicans Of
the county should hold conference
and present Editor Parkhurst OF Gin
ton or some other good man and their
differences should be settled before the
conventions. 1t ought to be a simple
matter for them to unite on a candi-
date to present to the city wards when
arguing for geographical representa-
ton.
The letter of Robert Treat Paine, Jr.,
in The Spy did more than anything
else to restrain Republicans outside of
Clinton from supporting Mr.. Walsh on
account of the territorial argument
Besides the majority was greater than
could be expected in an off year. 1t is
not so very much smaller than the ma
jority in the same district two years
ago when all was harmony and Repub-
lican stock stood high; when It was
conceded that Senator Harrington was
entitled to reelection.

CRANES PLURALITY

The plurality for Governor Crane
more. AS the shrinkage in the total
vote is something like one-fcurth or
one-third this is really one of the heav-
lest pluralities ever given in the Com
monwealth of Massachusetts. 1t means
more than mere figures.
w Murray Crane, without making a
speech, without spending a dollar,
without attempting 20 stir the public
in his favor, has been endorsed almost
unanimously by the people of Massa-
chusetts. For it cannot be said toe Of
ten that the votes cast at this election
for Mr.. Quincy were not votes cast
against Governor Crane.
