The election of workmen to the Of
flee of mayor in several large clues
has aroused considerable interest ano
suggested the question Of how far TINS
movement will extend to other locan-
les and to what branches of our NUM-
cipal state and national governments
The question is also propounded as to
the purpose Of these movements on the
part of workmen, as we'll as the apll-
ity and qualifications of the officers
selected to fulfil the duties required,
and what the economic, political and
social result may be.
The very fact that workmen recently
have, to 4 considerable extent, dir
ected their attention to the election OF
mayors of cities, shows that the idea
of the mayor in the city, the governor
in the state, and the president of the
United States, is regarded as the DOM
inant and all-important factor in gov
eminent. The comman council, the
state legislature and the federal con-
gress, through the law-making powers
have come to be regarded as second
airy or subordinate.
Perhaps the greatest i'll from the poll
cal morals of our country suffers Is the
domination of the political boss, who, In
turn, dominates the political party.
1t is one of the causes Of greatest
danger in the political future of our
country that the people have not the
opportunity to register their opinion OF
each particular measure or principle
for which a political party stands
There is scarcely campaign but what
voters find themselves In the position
of favoring several planks in the plat
form of the party opposed to them, yet
cannot vote for them. The successful
party in the campaign assumes the
verdict Of the people as an Endorsement
Of it's entire platform. Under this sys-
tenn, people are supposed to choose the
lesser of two evils. It is this party
domination which is harmful, where the
people must indorse or reject plat
form concocted by the party BOSSES

tons which it may contain.
1t was with view of curing this
evil and eliminating this very danger
that the American Federation of Labor
more than quarter of century ago,
declared and still strives for the intro
duction of the principle of the initiative
and referendum in our public affairs.

dent lived otherwise but those who
know realize that the Mitchells live a
simple life because 1t is their natural
inclipation, and their mode of living
has no Interior motive. Mrs. Mitchell
! says her husband is at home so little
and loves his children so devotedly
that it is a wonder that they are not
spoiled.
John Mitchell ought to be good
man, for his wife believes in him. His
children are like him, not only in per-
sonal appearance, but in character, and
very proud their mother is Of that
fact. Richard, the eldest, is the very
image of his father, whom he adores
He treasures up all his fathers says and
does. He has his fathers ambition
without the terrible stress of RESPONSE
! bility, and he is the apple Of his moth
er's eye.
The house which Mrs. Mitchell and
her four children occupy is half OF a
double frame, which she owns.& The
other half she rents. She has six
| rooms for her own use. An ingram
carpet covers the parlor floor, and on
the walls hang enlarged crayon pictures
of members of the family, including a
nun, Mrs. Mitchells sister. Prominent
in one corner Of the room stands an
easel, on which rests the picture Of Mr.
Mitchell, in a wide frame Of flowers and
grasses. Beneath this is a large silver
loving cup, presented to him Oct. 20
1900, by "admiring and enduring
friends" of Scranton, Pa. A gilt clock
! and a candelbrum from other associ-
ates are on the table.
Mrs. Mitchell certainly fills, to a re-
markable degree, George Eliot's defin'
ition of happy woman, She has nc
history. The priest who married them
Father Power, said in an interview not
long ago that he had been intimately
friend and adviser OF the family from
the first, and he was acquainted with
but few homes where love so absolutely
reigned as it does in the home of the
Mitchells. He said story of divorce
might be started in regard to all the
families in Spring Valley and it would
apply to the Mitchells last of all.

fill public positions.
The trade union has vastly and prlm-
arily contributed to the present move,
for while it declares that it Will not
ITSELF nor permit it's affiliated bodies to
enter the partisan political field, yet 1T
has for a. long time declared that all
+ workers should use their political
power to the end that union Worknen
may be elected to administer public at
fairs in national, state and municipal
government.
One of the first moves in this dir
Iection was in the American Federation
of Labor declaring for measures and
principles in the interests of the wage
| workers, and wherever possible stand
ing by our friends who aided us in Sc
curing legislation and opposing and
sending into political oblivion many
Individual politicians who antagonized
these demands.
When you have succeeded in persuad-
ing men to vote against any candidate
of the political party to which they be-
long, you have weaned them from be-
ing hard and fast partisans, and have
begun the process of alternating them
from their blind fealty to party and
boss. This once accomplished, renders
the citizen workman more susceptible
to the idea that there are reasonable
demands for which others than his
party stands; make him not only pub
lie spirited, but more intelligent more
independent. This all tends to the pub
lie good.
