The election of Seth Low as mayor
of Greater New York has created a
prodigious sensation in England, for
his triumph was deemed at an i'm
possibility in 50 corrupt city as
New York. The surprise is the
greater, because Seth Low is the
president one of the leading literary
institutions in America man with
a large fortune, scholar and a gen
tleman, and would appear we'll in
any circle and in any country. In
other words, he is deemed a model
man, neither a politician nor a par
tisan, and therefore the Blitishels
supposed that he would be the very
last man that the masses in such Il
fostering city as New York would
select as their chief magistrate. But
he has been chosen, to the joy OF
honest people everywhere.
London has been long considering
the important question Of uniting il
numerous municipalities in the
grand municipality. but the tax
payers had been deferred because
they had heard that the manage

ton. had become 50 dreadful and 50
replusive that they feared SO try the
experiment in London from the ap-
prehension that Tcmmany power
would grow up i'll England under
one municipality.
That fear is being dispelled by the
election of Seth Low, proving that
when the people are thoroughly
aroused they can be trusted to do
right and act for the benefit of the
the community. AS the new mayor
has we'll said, THE victory is not
the triumph of one man but of the

This is wholesome rebue to bar--

cruelty. But President Roosevelt's
