The merits of the triangular fight in New York city. can be better appre- ciated by those who are on the spot than by Philadelphian like myself, says a Quaker City writer. for one would have been disappointed if May or Mcclellan had failed of reelection, as believe he has not. MT Hearst represents nothing better than semi socialist dissatisfaction with the free dom of modern socieuI which has grown rapidly in the classes and the districts of our country which are most influenced by European ideals and least loyal to American traditions. The excuse for this disloyalty is found in abuses of corporate power, eyefy one of which is remediable by proper care and diligence on the part of the voters. There is no need to ''tnroM' out the baby1 with the bath" as the Germans say. But the .plausibilities Of socialism are very attractive to un- thinking and half-thinking voters at the present time. And the growth of such a party in our cities emphasizes the necessity for giving united sup port to the program of reasonable and peaceful reform of corporate abuses, nut forward by NIT Roosevelt These are the very lines Father Slocum talk ed on at the New Haven chamber or commerce banquet. and they are the views of all the right thinking and brainy men of the present day. The men in whose hands the future destiny of our country is placed must be up and doing and stand ready to combat the dangers that threaten us both at home and abroad.
