ECHOES OF THE ELECTION.

ms election teaches lesson,
and 1t may be summed up briefly.
1t has made some men and has put
Others very much on the "blink,"
SO to speak. The result in Massa-
chusetts teaches US that the So call
ed recognized Democracy which
controlled things in that State can
not win without the rank and file of
the party that stood Loyalty to the
ticket in the years of 1896 and 1900,
and 1t is believed that a good many
of them went fishing on election
day. There will, it is confidently
believed by many leaders of the
party to be repetition of this pi-
scatorial energy on the part of
thousands of Democrats all over
the East next year should the Dem
ocracy nominate such man for
the Presidency. The result in the
City of New York means many
things for many people.
1t means that Mr.. Charles F.
Murphy, the new leader of Tam
many Hall, who managed the cam
paign, is one of the biggest figures
in New York City politics to-day.
1t means that old Boss Mclaughlin,
who for so many years has controll-
ed the destinies of the Democracy
in the city of Brooklyn, is "dead
one" and never again will he figure
in National politics OF the City of
Greater New York. His place has
been taken by State Senator Pat
rick H. McCarren who hitherto has
been one of the old mans staunch-
est supporters and able lieutenants.
II means that Tammany has abso-
lutte control in Brooklyn, and that
the influence of one David Bennett
Hill is forever gone in that city,
the vote of which he has been wont
to use through the fundamentally
OF Boss Mclaughlin in order to
compel Tammany TO make terms
with him. and that means that HIPS
man Parker has lost any chance he
might have had for the Democratic
presidential nomination. II means
that Mr. William Randolph Hearst,
whose papers were the only ones in
the entire city that stood Loyalty to
the Democratic ticket and which,
under his able management, put
FIRE and ginger and red hot fight
into the campaign will have the
gratitude of Tammany for his good
work in the interests OF the party
and Of his ticket. That means that
Mr.. Hearst will be the New York
candidate for the presidency and II
so that means he will be the next
nominee. The result in Ohio, from
"a Democratic standpoint, means
that Tom l.. johnson is eliminated
from the presidential equation and
the result of Maryland means that
Senator German still has hopes.
from a Republican standpoint
the President is vitality interested in
this election. The result in Penn
sylyania again puts Quay on top
and he no longer need play into
Roosevelts hands unless he wants
to get even with Hanna.
The result IN Ohio places Hanna
master Of the situation in such man
ner that he needs no longer look to
Roosevelt for fayors.
It will be seen that one little
election makes lot Of things pos
sible and a whole "passel" Of things
may happen during this session of
Congress that may have direct bear.

proverbs

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it IS so g1rfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat

The ~POLICEMAN'S CLUB.
Chicago Man Argues Against 1t as n
Relic of Barbarism.

a stick is one of the chief signs of
ChicagO's s~emi-barbaric social condi-
ton said a man who is just back
from New York Coming from New
York to Chicago one of the first things
you notice is the policeman's club. In
the eastern metropolis the policeman
has long been without his a~ppendaSe.
1t was taken away from him because
the people We're Of the opinion they
had reached q state of civilization where
it was no longer necessary to have Of

in the faces and over the heads Of cit

inoffensive persons dubbed and beaten
for some slip of the tongue or for look
ing crosswise at u "copper" They be-
came tired Of paying to employ
men to brandish clubs. They became
weary Of being herded like I lot Of
sheep at h point Of a shillelah.
The fasteners argued that in New
York at least there was practically no
necessity in this age for policemen be-
ing armed with clubs during the day.
So Tanmany ordered the officers to
throw away their sticks. And right
here is one of the secrets OF Tammany's
grip on New York. Croker ana his
lieutenantS may have bOodle1 and
worked the graft game for all there
was in it, but they gave the city a
model government, that is, a govern
ment that suited the voters at large.
They nay have held up wharf owners,
rich merchants, and corporations, but
they gave the citizens clean STREETS.
a clean atmosphere, and when there
was a popular cry against the police
mans club, Tammany ordered the blue
coats to throw them away.
with a club in his hands, policeman
or otherwise, there is always an incli-
nation to use it upon somebody or
something. Pick up a stick yourself,
II what is the first thing you do with
it? Strike something, of course. A
similar Inclination is ever present with
the officer. He could make the ordi-
nary arrest as we'll without as with q
club, but he has been educated to the
stick, and he would be lost without II
n an opportunity to use il. AS an IL

office window any time there is a big
parade or demonstration in the down.

upon a recent procession, when the
crowd threatened to break through the

clubs and beat back citizens as though
they were a lot of dogs. They smash
ed mems and Women's hats and did
other uncivilized things, until a lieu
tenant, seeing the outrageous work of
his men, rushed down the line and
commanded them to cease their quasi
numbering operations. The scrowd
could have been much better
without than with clubs, for the latter
only served to incite trouble."-Chicago
