WORK AS CHAIRMAN.


BY common consent to speak of
Chairman Cortelyou is to speak of
Chairman Roosevelt. When Secretary
Cortelyou went out 20 Chicago to take
an appointment at the hands of the
Republican National Executive Com
mittee. he went not as the choice of the
committee. but of the President him
self. He was forced en- the committee
to show his chiefs contempt for that
body. he announced to it when his
coerced selection had been accom-
plished. that he would be chairman
not only in name, but in fact: that his
decisions would be beyond appeal. In
other words Roosevelts decisions
would be beyond appeal.
The chairman has been faring around
about the country at a great rate since
the Chicago convention and he has
brought up at Philadelphia and in a
pretendedly accidental encounter there.

bold as to bring down his fist on a

teeth and in the presence of one of
Morgan's representatives Il have no
notion of installing a Wall Street tick

much as If had.

A MICROCOSM.

Something was recently said in these
columns about the little town of Hull,
Mass, which is regarded as an unerr
ing political index in Presidential
years, so much that 1t has gone into
a proverb that "as goes Hull so goes
the Union" 1t is IA small town with
only 81 voters, but a comparison of
the vote of 1900 with the expressed
preferences this year is significant.
Investigation shows that twenty Dem
ocrats who voted for Mckinley four
years ago, and twenty others who did
not vote at all, are for Parker this
year. These forty Democrats would
them couldn't stand the Republican
ticket. but now that they have a good
Democratic ticket to vote for, they
will do 1t.
The Philadelphia Record declares
that Hull lis more than the political
weathervane of Massachusetts; it is
the microcosm of the United States"
That is not a mere extravaganza of as
sertion, but has good foundation. The
same causes which held back such a
proportion of Democrats from Bryan
in 1900 in this little town were in OPP
GRAFTON all over the Union except, per-
haps, in some of the Populistic States
of the West and the same cause which
now turns the Hull Democrats to Park

but that cause no longer exists and
they come back to willing allegiance.

PUNISHMENT AS AN EXAMPLE.

One of the results of the strike in
Kansas City some zine ago WAS the
killing of non-union hackdriver
named Ferguson under such circum-
stances as to constitute murder. For
this crime a number of the strikers
were indicted, and one of them, Ed
ward Bailey, was convicted and sem
fenced to be hanged, though it may be
that his sentence will be committed.
Growing out of this affair we notice
that there has been considerable dis
cussion among certain sentimentalists
as to whether punishment for crime has
the effect intended. They contend that
a man who is imprisoned for a crime
is only hardened, not cured. and that
therefore criminals should be reformed
not punished.
1t may or may not be true that the
criminal himself is not bettered by pun
ishment, but there is no doubt of the
deterrent effect on others. As The
Kansas City journal puts it, that the
example of the punishment of the Grim
inal exercises a salutary restraining
influence upon others who have Grim
inal propensities which have not as
yet manifested themselves in overt acts,
there can be no doubt in the mind of
anybody who has not kept his eyes
closed to what takes place in the
world about him. humanity is all very
well in its way, but such is the way
wardnrss and fraIlty of human nature
that men and women who are disposed
To obey the laws can be protected
from those who ARE disposed not to
obey them only by netting out to Grim
inals hot in the measure of maudlin
humanity, but in that of rigorous JUS
tice."
Old Sa mJohnson declared that Eek

ample is always more efficacious than
precept," and at another time he
speaks very positively of the salutary
influence of example" and what was
true in his day and country is true
here and now. Society and sociolo-
gists may do much good by teaching,
but If Bailey is hanged and the others
who are implicated in the murder of
Ferguson are imprisoned, it will be
lesson which others will heed and re-
member. 1t is not revenge on those
who violate the laws of the land that
gives punishment for crime its great
est weight: it is the effect 1t will have
by way of restraining others and law
less and disorderly strikers may well
take the lesson to heart and take warn
ing from the fate of others.
