UERECOGkIZED CHANGES.

The managers of both political
parties in this country seem to be
slow to recognize the changes
which have come in political condi-
tons. They cling with the tenac-
lty of superstition TO the traditional
ideas of how elections may be car
ried and political conditions judged.
They adhere to their belief in the
controlling power of political ma
chimes and leaders. The Republi-
can managers especially hold to
the old game of bluff and hurrah.
The truth is that the unrecog-
nized. new controlling force in our
politics IS the Individual thinking,
independent citizen. The number
of thick and thin party men who
vote for sentimental reasons or
inherited prejudices. the number
who vote one side or the other
because they wish to be on the
winning side and the number who
follow a leader and vote as he
directs become fewer year by year.
The desire to see both sides of
every question becomes stronger
and more widespread constantly.
Men no longer refuse TO take and
read newspapers opposing their
individual political opinions or
favOrite candidates. The argu-
mentS and facts and figures on
both sides GO into every home in
the land. Campaign oratory. brass
bands, torchlight professions and
barbacues have lost their power.
Elections are determined by the
silent thinking voters. who act ac-
cording TO their own judgments.
who ordinarily do not march in
professions nor wear buttons or
badges.
These facts have been demon
strated time and again in recent
years in astounding surprises in
local, State and general election.
Yet the politicians will not under
stand them, will not learn from
the often repeated lessons. They
continue TO trust machines and
local leaders aS representing and
controlling public sentiment and
persist in the time-worn. useless.
out-Of-date tricks which were good
twenty-five years ago. Then par
uSanship was strong, the means
of informing the public were few
and weak compared with the pre-
sent and great masses of voters
were swayed by oratory or excite
ment or the noise and flash of
parades. Now voters study condi-
tons and reason out conclusions
for themselves. They defer deci-
slons until the evidence is in and
the arguments have been fully
presented. They vote as they
think. They leave the old-time
politicians 10 guess and blunder
and TO amuse themselves with
political methods, including the
familiar bluff, as useless now in
political warfare as the old-fash-
Toned tiintlOck musket would be on
a modern field of battle. Rich

 BosToS Mass, Oct. 5th., 1904 Chief of Police, Morenci Arizona.
 DEAR SIR: My attention wa, at tractcd to an article printed in Hearst's Boston. Mass, American, this date in regard to d riot. with the representative of the New York Founding Asylum. This notorious institution has for years been ship ping children in carloads, all over the country. and they are given away and sold like cattle. There are sev' eral other similar institutions in the United States and Canada. l am pleased to learn that the residents of Graham county, Arizona. have taken up the matter of these unfor' Il LII. gTveh away, or sold by these institutions. They make it rule not to tell where they place d child that once gets into their clutches.
 The representatives of these asy- lums are devoid of all felling. and capable of committing any crime against the unfortunatcs that come into their hands. You can give this out for publication. if you so desire. l can prove all statements, | have made. by documentary evidence now on file in my office. Yours truly, tSEALl F.. F. YOUNG.

To USE the same line of reasoning advanced by the Herald last week that the democratic ticket should be elected because it is mostly com posed of wealthy men, why not go, a little further and elect onlyi the wealthiest candidates of both tick cts. As it happens there are d few men on the democratic ticket who are not wealthy. and if wealth is to he the standard in democratic poll- tics. then these men should bs elected to stay at home. It is poor rule that will not work both ways.
