MEN AND AFFAIRS

Here is a warning to hello girls. Be-
cause a Seattle telephone girl was pert
and impertinent, and refused to con-
meet subscriber to the fire depart
ment when he wanted to give notice
of fire, a loss of 100000 was incurred,
and now the telephone company Is be-
| ing sued for damages by the person
thus served and by the insurance COM
pany which suffered by the loss, says a
California paper.
Camp Stephen D. Lee, Confederate
| Veterans, of South Carolina, has voted
against the establishing of a home for
poor and decrepid members of the or
ganizatlon, believing that the money

suits by pensioning individuals whos
| for whatever reason, are entirely de-
| pendent upon others.
Czolgosz declared with his last breath

to have some experience in managing
political campaigns and realizing the
considerable total that insignificant
items make when simply carrying onthe
detail work of an effective organization
Experience teaches. The mayor OF
Worcester should be a man of expe-
rience. We don't believe millionaire
should be nominated simply to make
him pay the bills for his campaign. Nor
are we advocating the election of
spendthrift nor poll taxpayer simply
to avoid the use of money in cam
paigns. Money is necessary in any city
campaign in Worcester. The legiti-
mate expenses will run up into the
thousands.

Hagberg is a magnificent tribute to

1t was notable in the Virginia cleo
ton which resulted in a Democratic
victory that the negroes made little
attempt to vote. Their failure to pres
ent themselves at the polls was
ascribed to the belief that their votes
would not be counted, and to doubt as
to what effect their voting might have
in respect to the endeavor of the con-
stitutional convention to disfranchise
them.

NOW FOR CITY ELECTION

Now for the city election. What will
the committee of twenty-five do for the
city? We suggest that if that commit
tee believes 1t is representative enough
to make a suggestion, that it suggest a
man and secure his consent but not to
attempt to suggest more than one
name. The reason for this advice is
obvious. From the experience Of the
last few city campaigns, we believe
that the Republican party should
put into its city organization
business men of some respon-
sibility and some wealth so that
ample means can be furnished for run
ming a campaign without burdening
the candidates for office.
1t is a custom in New York State to
assess candidates for office for enor-
nous sums Of money. Even justices
of the Supreme Court have given to
the Tammany organization, and per
haps to the Republican organizations
sums ranging from $1,000 to $1,000 in
campaign funds.
We do not believe in encouraging
this tendency. 1t would be a healthful
thing for the Republican organization
of Worcester to set an example to the
state by forbidding the candidate for
mayor from contributing to the cam
paign fund raised to elect him. His
loyalty to his party should have been
proved by his contributions in years
before when he was not a candidate.
Under ordinary circumstances we
should say that man who had failed
TO realize the Importance Of contribut-
ing to municipal campaign funds in
come form or other was not a suitable
candidate for the Office Of mayor.

A study of the election returns shows

Governor Crane. 1t may be that after
one year as governor he will be sue
cessful in winning the public. 1t may
be the aftermath of the contest with
General Guild; it may be the manners
of the man or the speeches he has
made; but of course no man in Massa-
chusetts could hope to win the conf
dence of the people in a greater degree
or even in the same degree that Gov
ernor Crane has succeeded in doing.

The Creator of RaAaes

Ernest William Hornung, whose del
ectable rascal, Raffles, has won a
unique place in literature for both him
self and his creator, is one of the
quietest men in London literary circles.
One might expect to see, in the author
of the daring and resourceful Raff1es,
almost any sort of personality rather
than the affable, mild hammered and
almost clerkly looking gentleman who
responds so quietly to your greeting.
Mr. Hornung is only IS years old but
looks at least six years younger. He
got his education at an English school,
and at Is went to Australia for two
years 1t was here, at this impression
able age, that he obtained the materials
for his series of notable stories of
Australian bush life. His wife is a
sister of Conan Doyle, the novelist. Mr.
Hornung is himself a cricketer of no
mean ability, fact of some interest to
friends Of Raff1es, whose early expert
ences as a cricket player are well re-
membered.

Such a story is Hopkinson Smiths

a strong personal note that brings the

EDITORIAL COMMENT

The history Of this years campaign
in this state may well be regarded as
out of the ordinary run of things. The
entire campaign in Massachusetts has
been carried on by one side, and yet it
is the other side that wins in very con-
vincing and emphatic fashion. Mr..
Quincy and his party have worked hard
and earnestly to poll the full party
strength, and yet the Democratic vote
falls behind even the low figures of last
year! 1t was certain Cor nearly sol
from the outset that the Republican
vote would not be brought out to its
full extent, when the Republicans de-
clined to make any campaign; but it is
very significant that the loss Of the Re
publican vote is, proportionately, little,
If any, greater than that of the Demo-
crats.-Boston Advertiser.
The Advertiser has already called
public attention to the poor showing
made by the Associated Charities in
| Worcester, where it has cost S1762 to
distribute S2960 in relief of the poor Of
that city. Much surprise has been ex-
pressed by some of our exchanges over
this showing. It is not as good as it
might be. Yet it is not so bad as some
other instances that might be cited in
| this state. The chief trouble in Wor-
cester is that the Associated Charities
/ Organization there attempts to manage
some Of its relief work out of its own
funds, instead of turning over deserv-
| ing cases to other organizations, which
should have entire charge of the relief
work.-Boston Advertiser.
