Boss Busters.

The boss busters, who have been
holding frequent meetings in To
peka of late, don't seem to be Great
ing any great panic among the lines
of the bosses as yet. Some how
there seems to be no great rush of
the faithful to join the new clan.
After all, the rank and fill do not
seem to be over anxious to leave
the ranks of one organization to JON
another align themselves under
another untried set of bosses who
may become just as domineering as
the present ones are claimed to be,
as soon as they get the power.
This talk about the bosses and
bossism should be considered lit
tie before a man takes off his hat
and whoops her up for new align
ment. Organization is an unquali-
fed necessity In any political cam
paign. In any organization it soon
develops who are the natural and
qualified leaders and these men who
are crowded to the front, whether
they are willing or not(and they are
usually wiling and these leaders
soon become denominated bosses.
In sense this is true. No man is
fit for a leader who cannot boss
when an occasion demands.
The bosses sometimes become

somewhat arrogant and domineer-
ing. When this condition becomes
unbearable the boss is called down
and very likely deposed and the
clan proceeds to march under the
banner of another leader. After all,
there is principle back of the for
nation of all these organizations
and the boss is only the tool of the
organization for carrying out this
principle or accomplishing some end
in view. After the main end of an
organization is accomplished it soon
becomes impossible to hold the
forces together.
A few years ago an organization
was effected to elect Mr.. Burton
United States Senator, with Null
vane and Grimes as head bosses.
The organization was complete and
and the desired end accomplished.
But in this case there seemed to be
"more pleasure in pursui: than in
possession" and the organization
broke to pieces and the bosses found
themselves without a sufficient reti-
nue. to impress the people. Then
came the Leland-Albaugh combina-
ton that rapidly forged to the front
not alone on account of the shrewd'
ness of the leaders but because they
stood for what the party wanted.
They have been remarkably success
full in doing things and, In the main,
results have been attained that were
satisfactory to majority of the
party.

The People and Labor Troubles

When a man in a state of nature
hollows out log, ties sharp rock
with thongs to a stick, or brings
down a deer in the chase, the canoe,
the Ratchet, the meat and the hide
which he acquires thereby are his,
and none of his savage neighbors
would dare to dispute the legality
of his title. Should he occupy a
piece of land, erect his humble hut,
cultivate the soil and domesticate
the few wild cattle that luck or
strategy has placed in his hands,
the fruits of his crops and toll, the
produce and increase of his focks
and herds are his by an inviolable
right. Should he die, this right of
control extends beyond the term of
his life, and he may by his will dis
tribute the lands and chattels which
he occupied or held, according to
the dictates of affection or his sense
of Justice. His children and bene-
ficiaries feel as secure in their poses
sion as he did in his-for the eXclu-
sive ownership of property is law
of nature founded on instinct, agree
able to reason and strengthened BY
the advancement of civilization.
The violation of this natural law has
caused and always will cause dis
order. violence and, if persisted in,
war. The only alterations which
Just legislation can make to the
original rights of man are for the
purpose of requiring him so to con-
duct himself in the use of his free
dom and property as not to wrong
or harm any other person.
1t would be we'll for union work
ingnen and capitalists alike, at this
present period of unrest and i'm
pending dangers, to recall this sim
Pile principle of our existence and,
instead of forcing our government
and methods of life away therefrom,
try to keep them anchored to it.
The advantages and profits gained
by injustice and the prejudiced exer-
cises of brute strength are temper
airy and insecure. Justice is rest
less force which perpetually asserts
itself. Its activity increases in pro-
portion to the oppression imposed
upon it, and Its stanchest advocates
are the people and its true and
proper name is public opinion.
The people as rule are just, they
are juster today than they ever were
before. They are no longer disin-
terested and indifferent onlookers
upon the struggle between labor and
capital. Wealth has rights, work
ingmen have rights, but the public
has rights also which must be re-
spected. This constant turmoil,
with the people as innocent victims
has become fatiguing and they are
going to take hand shortly. The
finish is not yet in sight, but it is

Our Friendships in the Orient.

President Roosevelt, since he has
looked upon the Pacific ocean, has
become more thoroughly an expan-
sionist than ever before, and in his
speech at Watsonvile, Cal, he de-
clared that the United States would
eventually dominate that ocean. In
this declaration he expressed the
popular wish and. perhaps, the pop
ular belief. But neither Mr.. Roose-
Welt nor anyone else desires or is of
the opinion that this control which
we ultimately may have shall be
brought about by the acquisition of
more lands and the conquest of
more peoples, or shall result in en-
tangling US by treaties or otherwise
with the interests of foreign nations.
The only ambition we now have
or rightfully can have in the Pacific
is for equal rights of trade and COM
merce in the Orient with all rival
nations. Japan, Russia and Great
Britain should fight their own bat
ties. We cannot afford to look upon
them either as friends or enemies.
1t is true that England did US valu.
able service in our war with Spain,
and that Russia has had 4 remark.

FUSION PROSPECTS.

Governor 0delI is a keen judge of political
forces, and his opinion that fusion prospects are
steadily improving viii tend 10 confirm an i'm
preston which is held by great many observ-
erS of the situation. There is denying
that Tammany is strong and will fight desper-
ately 10 regain power. NoD-partisan govern
ment cannot be perpetuated without tremen
douS effort being put forth 10 arouse people to
the importance of the contest and bring to their
attention evidence of the good work done in the
last two years for the comfort and welfare of
the great body Of the citizens of this city. This
task is great, means much of unselfsh
work. that some timid souls have been inclined
TO despair and take defeat for granted. and. of
course, ali the real or disguised friends of Tam
many have been eager 10 shout that Tamniany
was sure 10 win. and that the fusionists might
as well save themselves trouble.
II is evident that the fusionists are not anxious
10 save themselves trouble. From every quar-
ter where fusion sentiment is at all 10 be ex-
pected comes evidence of determination 10 work
for the success Of an anti-Tammany ticket This

Germans, some of whose leaders have taken a
critical attitude toward the administration on
account of the liquor question. These leaders
were inclined not 10 commit themselves TO
fusion, but the great mass of their supposed fol-
lowers are antiTammany without any ifs butts

declared for cordial cooperation with the Gil

THE DOG MUZZLING ORDINANCE.

Although final action the dog ordinance
has once more been deferred by the Board of
Aldermen. there is fair chance Of its enact
ment when 1t comes up as special order next
Tuesday. In view of the diversity Of opinion
manifested. both by the city fathers and the
general public. little delay is doubtless ad-
visable, Still, there is a distinct necessity for
the regulation, and too many postponements
would be unfortunate. Moreover. any further
modification of the measure should be in the
direction of increased efficiency. and not of sur
render of popular safety and convenience.
The amendment adopted last Tuesday. upon
the suggestion Of Alderman Mccall. will prob
ably be retained now. and may be considered as
determining the question by whom the ordi-
nance shall be enforced. There has been some
dissatisfaction with tie alleged lack of thor
oughness with which the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals has taken charge
of homeless dogs in the past. Entirely apart
from the justice or injustice of that sentiment.
there is another reason for intrusting the bust
to the police. If any man, woman child
is annoyed by vagrant animals. and wishes to
complain, an officer can be found more readily
than representative of Mr.. Hainess society.
As originally introduced by Alderman Meyers
the pending resolution provided for enforce
ment by the police. Possibly that arrangement
would have developed unforeseen objections.
At any rate. now that it has been abandoned
the other plan deserves fresh trial. Perhaps
1t will work better than 1t did before The
recent agitation has doubtless opened the eyes
of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals to currents of public opinion which
were not previously recognized
. Ideal legislation concerning dogs in city
streets ought to have three objects in view
The spread of hydrophobia should be made alb
soutely impossible pancs among children
whether senseless not, should be reduced to
a minimum: and some consideration ought to
be given to the defilement of sidewalks and
dOorSteps. The first two of these desiderata are
apparently secured by the ordinance. which g
quires the adoption of either the leash or the
muzze. The evil last mentioned remains prac-
tcally untouched. 1t is the least serious of the
three. and yet it constitutes distinct nuisance
Total abolition of dogs from cities is out Of
the question. So too is a requirement that
they be kept off the sidewalks. 1t is by 10
means easy to suggest an effective method of
dealing with the trouble which is not unreason-
able or impracticable. The tastes convenience
and rights of the thousands of pedestrians are
involved. however. and decent people are going
10 demand with increasing emphasis that this
cause of offence be eliminated.

RORRNG THE SICK.

1t might not be easy TO conjure up at first
thought a meaner and more despicable form of
petty thievery than that which some obscure
physicians with patients in the poorest tenement
districts of this city have been practising. At
least the District Attorneys office has made
charges against these doctors and warrants
have been served.
The accusations are to the effect that these
medical men obtained from the Health Depart
ment' antitoxin serum for the treatment of
diphtheria without cent of expense to them
selves and then deceived their victims and COM
PEELED them to pay several dollars in each case
merely for the use of the curative preparation.
Should these allegations be sustained by ample
proofs when the trials take place such con
temptible swindlers should be subjected to
severe punishment. In no community in the
