THE POLITICAL FIGHT IN
NEW YORK AND PHILADELPHIA

The distinctive feature Of all the loca
contests that furnish the CHIEF interest
OF this years political campaign is
the disappearance Of the sense OF
party obligation. The bosses and their
business employers have taught their
lesson well. For many a year they
herded the docile voters i'm the names
OF the grand old party Of Lincoln and
OF Grant or OF "the immartal principles
OF Jefferson and OF Jackson" but event
ually the plain citizen began to observe
that after the elections the principles
OF Jefferson and OF Lincoln were blend
ed harmoniously in the service Of
powers like the STANDARD Oil, the
United Gas Improvement Company.
and the Mutual Life. Then he decided
that IL -partisanship was good
enough for his master 1t was good
enough for him.
In New York the whole system Of
party nominations is on trial William
r. Jerome. who nominated himself for
District Attorney, and William r..
Hearst. who practically nominated him
self for Mayor, are running on even
terms with the candidates Of the most
HtIAtAA UOnlltNl IlAinllt III America
The only hope OF Tammany is i'm the
form OF the official ballot which was
expressly designed to discourage inde-
pendent voting and make the straight
ticket the line Of least resistance. And
vel a month before election IL had
seemed probable that Tammany would
have no serious opposition. It's ap-
parent certainty OF success betrayed ii
into succession OF blunders. II loaded
down Mayor Mcclellan. the respectable
head OF its ticket, with weak associates.
IL allowed IL to be known that Nc
Clehan was expected TO only begin his
term and then move on TO the Gov
ernorshlp leaving the Mayors office to
be filled by small machine politician,
1t affronted Brooklyn with borough
nominations so offensive as to force a
split I'm its own ranks and a fusion OF
its Republican and Citizens Union op-
ponents. II was guilty of the unspeak-
able folly OF refusing 20 accept Jerome
Hardly had the conventions been held
when Il became apparent that Hearst
was shearing of great masses OF Tam
many votes. He was helped both by
the general municipal ownership senti-
ment that elected Dunno in Chicago
and by personal enthusiasm for him
self aroused among the readers OF his
papers by a course OF instruction II

his merits pursued with admirable per-
lsistepce through ten preceding years.
While Hearst was attacking Tammany
from one angle, Jerome was -assailing IT
from another He first goaded the
nominal boss, Murphy. into furious
speech, and then reduced him to sullen
silence by his pitiless reiteration of the
question that had driven Croker out Of
New York: Where did you get it?'
Meanwhile, Mr.. WINS, the Republican
candidate for Mayor, was challenging
everybody TO debate. and having as
good a time as anybody.
In New York the campaign has been
a general scramble. In Philadelphia il
has been a bitter, desperate battle be-
tween all the forces of corruption on
one side and all the elements of decency
on the other. The disgraced ring still
clings to the name Republican" as its
last hope. although every member of
the Republican National Administra-
tion has either denounced or ignored it.
and not a single Republican leader
from any State outside of Pennsylvania
has ventured to appear at one of its
meetings. II has been pursued by a
dramatic fatality. When its Councils
Committee tried to fasten misconduct
on the police under Weaver, il brought
out the proof that under gang rule the
police force had been recruited from
the penitentiary and ordered to protect
repeaters. When Ii made a special
point in it's first grand rally" Of the
admirable management OF the State
Treasury and the need of maintaining
ring rule for the protection of state
funds. the cashier of the Enterprise
National Bank OF Allegheny chose that
particular day to kill himself and ex-
pose the fact that the bank had been
looted and wrecked by ring politicians
who had first made it a depository OF
a million or so of State funds. and
then drawn out most Of the money on
worthless collateral This exposure di-
rected attention TO the facts that the
Treasury of Pennsylvania was main
tanning the huge balance of $4,000, 900,
mostly in political banks. while school
teachers were going unpaid; that the
gangs system of manipulating public
money had caused the death of four
state Treasurers. one Treasury cashier.
one Auditor-General. and two bank
cashiers, and that OF these eight men
three had committed suicide and five
had died under strain or disgrace

coMMoNsENsg ROAD sUILDlNe.

tn BUILDING good roads for New
i Castle county. Il has been mani,
fest to every thinking person that an
expense OF from $4,000 to $1,000 per mile
81 out Of the question. A few miles OF
road per year would exhaust the APP
propriation.
Now the question has always con-
frontcd the taxpayers of whether they
shall have limited number OF good
roads with hundreds Of miles OF very
poor ones. or keep all the roads in fair
condition. We are all impressed with
The excellence Of maeadamized roads
but we must ask ourselves the question
Of whether we shall spend all OF the
money raised for roads in building a
Few miles OF this kind.
The policy Of the new Highway Conn
missioner of this county seems to con-
template general betterment OF the
roads. and to that end he has asked for
an appropriation for constructing roads
an the southern part of the country
from materials Immediately available
sand. gravel and clay.
These materials have been used IN
road building ever since wheeled ve-
hicles came into use. and under favor
able conditions they have given satis-
faction.
But what are these favorable condi-
tionss Tho territory through which
they are built should be fairly level;
otherwise the roads are liable to wash
outs. sand aud clay or gravel and clay
must be combined in proper propor-
tions clay knits and gives hard
road excepting in freezing and thaw-
ms, while sand and gravel allow the
water 10 percolate and help to prevent
mining during the spring thaws.
Another necessary condition is that
the whole road bed shall become knit
together; consequently the materials
must be mixed and be packed together
Thts means that in the early spring ar
ter the frost has gotten out Of the
ground. the road should be broken to
a depth Of about eighteen inches and
whatever clay, sand or gravel is used
should be worked in together.
Another problem is drainage Many
roads are too flat. while others are too
steep. The fiat road catches the water
and holds it. while the steep rounded
road invites washing. There is hap
py medium. But Il is not alone neces-
sary TO turn the water into the sides
OF the road; 1t must be carried off. and
often this is problem that calls for an
engineer
Finally. economy requires that roads
be kept IN perfect repair And this
work should not be left for certain
periods OF the year. but attended TO
whenever necessary. When a road be-
gins TO wash or when ruts are started
such places must be filed at once or
the damage will rapidly grow greater.
We have always asserted that good
roads can be built and maintained in
amy part Of the state by using such ma
terlais rs are at hand. We have this
conviction because we have seen
sleushs u sand and clay wallows trans
formed by sensible work. And when
we adopt this theory and have the
Nork d5ne by experts and IN hasl-
ress-like manner We shall have good
roads. and at very little added cost.
