POLITICS IN CITY ELECTIONS.


POLITICS IN CITY ELECTIONS.
New York Is considerably stirred up
over a statement from the proposed
Tammany candidate for mayor 10 the
effect that II Is all foolishness to talk
about politics being kept out Of the I'D
minsitration Of the municipal govern
ment. New York Is firm In the convic-
tion that clean streets, adequate po-
lice force. restrictions upon gambling
and the liquor traffic, and vice in all
its forms that all these things are
questions in which politics should not
enter,
The less politics which enters into
the government of any city or town.
however great or small II may be. the
better for II and for all The people III
It.
II looked for a time as though May
or Lows chances for nomination and
reelection were seriously threatened
by his indiscreet prominence at Ger.
tain republican functions during the
past year, and also by the close friend.
ship existing between the president
and himself.
However. Mr.. Low promised to abe
good II they would give him another
chance, and the president gave the
citizens union hts formal assurance
that he would keep his hands off.
The opposition TO Lows denomination
within the union consequently disap-
peared. and on Wednesday evening he
was nominated by both the citizens
and the republican conventions. An
encouraging sign for the Of good
government is the attitude of the
Staats-Xeitnng which represents and
Influences In d large measure the great
German element which has heretofore
been anti-Low. This powerful daily
urges all Independent democrats To
join the fusion cause. The doctrine
laid down by the Staats-Zeitung IN
most sound; II should be read by every
citizen OF every city throughout the
land. It says:
I'VE bitterly contest every attempt
to drag state or national politics into
city elections, as well as every move
made by city officials with a view Of
benehting a political party. An ap-
peal to the party spirit Of the voters IN
d city election Is a crime against the
municipality. Whether in the coming
election II will be possible to suppress
party feeling, or at least to confne It
within certain limits. depends upon
circumstances over which we have no
control, However, we hope that. In
the interests OF the city, republicans
and democrats will take the stand so
well illuminated by Mr., Grout, namely,
TINT the candidate shall not be judged
by his party afiliation, but by the ms.
wer to the question whether he will
consider the welfare Of the city with.
out regard to his party or his friends.
II such high ground as expressed In
this appeal could be taken by the vot-
ers In our cities when approaching
the municipal elections, the shameful
corruption which has run riot OF recen,
years in their affairs would soon be-
come unknown and impossible.

Sun DiaIs Yesterday and Today.
By Ada Patterson.
The Pilgrim for September.

The Pilgrim for September.
The oldest system by which men
have tcld the time Of day is sun
dials. There are sun dials still in
existence since long before the
Christian era; in fact, they have been
found in Egypt dating before the
Pharoahs.
The Indians and wild nations told
he time b. The position of the shad-
CWs Of trees or mountains. The Chi
nese have carried the art of sun dials
to perfection, and even today use
pocket sun dial3 instead of watches.
One Chinese Matchmaker has ar
ranged his front perch in such a
way the shadow of the posts tell the
time by which to regulate the watch
eS.
The sun dials in ordinary use. Of
which there are many ii England
and Germany, are horizontal in gar
dens and on terraces are vertical On
the sides of houses and inns. TIE
notices employed are many and GU
rious. One Greek dial exists The
Greek letters of time flies" being
used in place of numbers.
L mark only happy hours is a
favorite one, but perhaps one Of the
most exquisite is that at TaddO:
Hours fly, flowers die. new ways,
new days pass by. love stays"
The old sun dial was simple af-
fair: the plate of stone or metal with
the hours engraved on it. and the
gnOmon, a triangular piece Of metal
which in casting the shadow marked
the time.
The modern dial is very accurate,
marking always the quarters, as well
as the hours, and often the minutes.
Sun dials are made engraved to
mark time, say in New York and Par
is or London and Pekin at the same
time, also showing the months or ap
propriate flowers for each month,
which are etched on the dial plate.
