MAKE THE CHARTER KNOWN

1t was in no small measure due to
the insistence Of this paper that the
present charter was adopted The op-
position which it encountered from our
Republican contemporaries up to the
last moment plainly showed that the
effort to reconcile it's provisions with
the views and interests of the then
dominant faction in Republican local
affairs was attended by much difficulty.
There did not prevail then any intelli-
gent or comprehensive understanding
of it's provisions. T h e G O b e insisted
on it's adoption and fought for it
throughout, rather because Of it's pro-
found conviction that the Bell charter
was the responsible agent of the worst
of the experiences of our people in
struggling for rational and adequate
municipal system, and because any
condition was endurable rather than
| that which the existence of an ill-ad-
vised constitutional amendment had
| imposed on us.
1t was inevitable that the charter
should be inadequate to the city's
| needs in many directions. The thing
| was to secure charter and to put
the city on the way to responsible self
government. That end has been ac-
| complished, and the community is now
confronted by situation which makes
plain it's inability to secure the popular
action on any amendment to that char
ter until the next city election.
Our experiences have not been in
vain. They have taught us the need of
careful action. The machinery for the
| effectuation Of charter changes is not
| what we would have it, but with the
aid of the incoming legislature it can
| readily be perfected. We know the
chief drawbacks of the system. We
know the immediate and most press
ing needs Of charter amendment, and
our dependence on the legislature to
| make them possible. Our duty under
| the circumstances is to concentrate
attention on the charter and it's pro-
visions, both through the charter COM
| mission and the public, and to formu-
late such changes as are demanded by
! our situation and can be relied on to
secure the popular support, after the
| enabling act has been properly amended.
For some reason or other there have
been no published copies of the charter
available for general distribution I'M
til within a few weeks, except such as
were issued by business house for
advertising purposes. The current COM
pilation does not admit Of careful ex-
animation, except through consecutive
| reading. It has no index that is wor-
thy of the name. 1t Is an official make
shift discreditable alike to the commu-
nifty which caused it to be issued and
to the concern which published 1t. In
stead of such being the case there
ought to be an adequate supply of
copies of the city charter available for
general distribution among the intelli-
gent tax-paying public, and issued in
such form as would admit of the speed
lest reference to the main provisions of
our present municipal system. With
such a document issued, generally
circulated and full discussion had of
the shortening of the present system
we ought to be able to submit to the
people in the next city election such
| amendments as will render the charter
entirely adequate for all our purposes.

NAVAL OFFICER BRoNAUGH
KILLS SELF ON kEARsARGE
Blows Brains Out With Revolver
Epidemic of Suicide.

NEW York. Sept. 3O.-Lieutenant
Commander William V. Bronaugh, of
the United States navy, committed sui
eide today on the battleship Kearsarge
at the navy, yard by blowing out his
brains with a revolver. Friends of
Commander Bronaugh believe that he
was very much worried over the mani
fold duties of his position as executive
officer, which are considered to be
more arduous than those of any other
position of rank in the navy. Purnell
f. Harrington, captain of the Brooklyn
navy yard, said:
There is an epidemic of suicide in
the navy as surely as there was ever
an epidemic of fever. Such thing
may occur and can be explained. The
man has probably been thinking of
the other suicides, which are very sad
affairs, and then in an unguarded mo-
ment the desire to try it seized him and
it was all over in a minute"
Commander Bronaugh was born in
Kentucky and entered the naval aca-
deny in 1878.

NEW YORK DEMOCRATS.

The situation which confronts the
Democrats Of New York state at the
opening of their convention is one
which must inspire confidence in their
ability to redeem the state from Re-
publican control in national as well as
state affairs. Whether they nominate
Gov. Hill or Comptroller Coler or Judge
Parker, they will have the advantage
of splendid leadership and of united
party. Such a condition has not been
present since Gov. Hill withdrew from
the United States senate. Indeed all
the efforts which have been put for
ward to secure party unity and they
have been unceasing since the election
of 1902, have until now been wholly
unfruitful of results.
The recent journey of President
Roosevelt through the West has re-
suited in directing public attention
with increased intensity to the attitude
of the national administration on the
two great issues of tariff reduction and
the trusts. The addresses delivered.
tional executive, leave little doubt even
in the minds of his friends and ad-
mirers that he is under the control of
the trust interests, and that the coun-
try cannot look to him or his infiu-
ence on the policies of his party to Sc
cure relief. Let President Roosevelt be
given credit for much more than Or
binary courage, yet nobody believes
that he has the courage to antagonize
the dominating influence in the coun-
ellis of his party in these two directions.
The part which national issues will
play in the determination of the APP
preaching election cannot be overesti-
mated. 1t is never the case in such a
situation as the present that the voters
confine themselves to voting against
the congressional candidates of the
party which is suffering under public
criticism and disfavor. That party is
in power both in New York and at
Washington, and it is a reasonable as
sumption that in both directions ii
will be obliged to take upon itself the
onus of it's present attitude.
If Gov. Hill should be the candidate
of the party his success is not unlikely.
He is the strongest Individual Democrat
in the state. He has already redeemed
the state from Republican control I'M
der less suspicious circumstances. He

OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES
TO MAKE TRIP TO CHICAGO
To Be Guest of Honor at Inaugural of
President James.

CHICAGO, Sept. 30.-A letter Of ac-
ceptance was received today from
Oliver Wendell Holmes, recently APP
pointed to the United States supreme
bench, to be the guest Of honor at the
inaugural exercises of President James,
of Northwestern university, Oct. 81. It
was originally intended to have Presi-
dent Roosevelt present on that occa-
sion, but owing to the abandonment
of his Western trip, a change In the
programme was necessitated.
While in the city as the guest of
Northwestern university, Judge Holmes
will formally open the new law school
building of that institution. A banquet
will also be given him by the Chicago
Bar association.

OUR WEALTHY UNCLE
COINS PLENTY OF CHANGE
Millions of II Disappears, and No One
Seems to Know Where 1t Goes.


The United States treasury during the
last fiscal year manufactured 1851 .143
cents and 26,480,213 nickels. Massachu-
sets took 100000 cents, Pennsylvania
state nearly 10000, 600 These are the
great confusing states, and stand in the
same order as to consumption of nickels.
Ten years ago pennies were little used in
California and the South and were un-
known things in Nevada, Wyoming and
Arizona. Up to date Uncle Sam has turn
ed out 100, O0O, 600 cents, 100000 nick
els, 1O0,OO000O dimes, 200, 100000 quarters
and 10000, 900 half dollars. Somewhere
in the world are 119, 100000 big copper
pennies. What has become of them Is q
mystery, for, barring a few In the hands
no one knows where.
Many years ago the government issued
100000 bronze 2-cent pieces, and Oh
The same is true of the nickel Scent
pieces, of which nearly 100000 are I'M
accounted for. Slot machines have great
ly increased the demand for coppers, and
so also have the penny newspapers and
the odd prices made popular in dry goods
shops. Cents and nickels wear out pretty
rapidly, because they are passing con-
stantly from hand to hand. and the i'm
mense numbers of them that pour into
the treasury at Washington are carefully
sorted over for the purpose of taking out
those which are too much damaged to be
fit for further use. The life of cent is
only four or five years.
Cents are subjected to more accidents
than any other coins. Being of such
small value. little care is taken of them,
and that Is why the treasury has to go
on turning out new ones at the rate or
GO,0O0,O 900 to 9O,O0O,oOO a year. At the
treasury they say that the cent is a
barometer Of business conditions. A
heavy storm or a sudden coming of cold
weather-anything, in short, that keeps
the penny spending part Of the popula-
ton at home-is accurately reflected In
the falling off of the cents coming to the
subtreasuries for exchange. During pc
RODS Of dullness cents accumulate at
subtreasuries, but when trade reviyes
they begin to circulate rapidly again.

Alex Mckinnon Is an Exponent of True
Democratic Principles.

Alex McKinnon, Democratic candi-
date for congress in the new Ninth
district, has promulgated his platform
from which he will make a vigorous
fight to reclaim the district Mexican
lied by Frank Eddy.
Mr.. McKinnon declares squarely for
tariff revision and reductions; reciproc-
ity with Canada and Cuba and such
reciprocal treaties with other coun-
tries as will build UP home industries
and the United States foreign COM
merce; free lumber, iron, steel and coal
and against the doctrine Of American
protection which has builded up the
trusts.
Mr.. McKinnon's platform was pro-
