satile. the rhymster puts one on the
smoke stack reading something like
this:

matter where you cast your optics,
they are bount. to fall upon eof their
pill poems. i am beginning to think
that our house sides and fence. sides
are being used to hold all the verses
that our amateur poets fail to work OF
on the magazines and newspapers.
con the level the whole landscape is
covered with those pill poems When.
ever you hear the passenger agent of a
railroad barking about the beautiful
scenery along his line, you can gamble
that he is referring to the vignette
borders OF the pill poems that are stuck
upon those sign boards on either side OF
his road. That has got to be what he
means. for that's all that can be seen
from the windows.

Upon my soul never saw so much
animosity aimed in one direction before
in all my born days. There's no telling
what the end will be il those pill poets
don't stop grinding out hepatic war
songs. They have turned everybody
and everything against the liver. Every
root, every bark and every herb has
it in for the liver. and SO has every

cause it was the dominant factor in
Philadelphia politics. The majority
of the people of the city, led by Mayor
Weaver, wanted to Gust the leaders
of this ring, though the vast majority
of voters in the city are republicans
on national issues. Last year Penn
sylvania, with Philadelphia right in
line. gave Roosevelt plurality of
nearly half a million and were the
election repeated this year the vote
would be practically the same. Ohio's
plurality for Roosevelt was nearly
quarter of million and it would not
lose today if the election were to be
held again with Roosevelt and Parker,
the opposing candidates. 1t would
have been useless last fall to attempt
to GUST either Coke or the Philadel-
phia ring, but when no greet question
of national Importance was at stake
the people were allowed an oppor-
tunity to lend their attention entirely
to state affairs. In other words, when
the election was held for the settle
ment Of local questions the voters
could settle them without becoming
mixed on national affairs and without
fear of losing their vote either on a
national or local issue. The result
is that both rings are endorsed,
whereas, if Ohio and Philadelphia did
not have plan whereby the voters
elect officers for part of the positions
at one time and the remainder at an
other, the opportunity to GUST. the
rings would have been lost.
Iowa's predicament is the one into
which Ohio and Philadelphia have not
allowed themselves to fall. Should a
ring be started in Iowa it could thrive
under the biennial election statute
much more easily and with much
more assurance than when elections
are held more often. Nothing could be
more plain, now that it is proved than
that the more frequently elections are
held the better the people are able. to
control affairs and keep them out OF
the hands of ring. But Iowa has
committed herself and cannot back
out. She did 1t, however, with her
eyes open and against the warning OF
people and papers that were working
for the best interests of the state al
large and the people Of the state.
Now, Senator Titus, who fathered
the biennial election amendment
wants to lengthen the terms of state
and county officers from two to foul
years, saying that this idea is par
OF the biennial election movement. Il
was very noticeable during the dis
cussion before the vote on the amend
ment, that those in favor of the
amendment denied just what Senator
Titus says is true now But fortu
nately, the four year clause was no
tackled onto the amendment and the
people of Iowa can save themselves
from at least one error in connection
with the election laws.

the great difference is that bossism
adopts any party or any creed that
seems to be most likely to prove a
winner, while the political machine
stands or falls with its party; the ma
chine is the party and the party is
the machine.
The political machine in it's true
sense is made up of men who are the
workers of the party. It's name. ma
chine, has been gained from the fact
that it is made uD of so many compon-
ent parts, each one working with all
the others, like cog wheel in an in
animate machine, for the good of the
party. Much more animation. of
course, is put into the work of the
political machine than into one made
of wood and metal, but the work is al
ways in one direction-to build up
the party in whose principles the men
of the machine believe. The machine
is not organized for graft, but for
votes. 1t wins its battles, not by dis
honesty and the promise of reward for
votes, but by argument, campaigns of
education, careful canvasses of every
ward within it's jurisdiction, hard

PROSPERITY.

New York Financier.-An imposing
array of statistics might be marshaled
to prove the present state of industrial
and financial prosperity in the United
States. Record breaking crops have
been harvested, Industrial establish
ments are working overtime to fill or
ders, the great transportation agencies
find themselves unable to handle
traffic with all their equipment in use
and are placing orders for thousands
avenue Of business the same reports
Of solid, substantial good times pre-
vail. The cheering phase Of this con-
dition Of affairs is that no particular
stir is being made over it Every
body is busy. prosperity is accepted
as natural. and no wild booms are be-
ing engineered to endanger the future
On the whole the outlook for good
business was never so bright as at

THE MACHINE AND BossIsM.

People who know little of how cam
paigns are conducted and how cleo
lions are won confuse the two terms,
machine" and boss" so often that
they often come to rega:d them as
synonyms. No two words in the Eng
lish language have more widely differ
ent meanings and no two agencies in
political life are more widely different
IL their uses and usefulness. The po-
litical fight which has just been set
tied in Philadelphia offers an illustra-
ton,
Corruption in the municipal ring in
Philadelphia reached such stage
that public decency demanded a
change. Mayor Weaver proved to be
the man of the hour and he began, less
than a year ago, a fight which has re
suited in the discovery of almost I'M
limited dishonesty, graft and corrup-
ton. 1t has resulted, too, in the awak-
ching of the people of the city to the
fact that they have been bunkoed for
years by small ring of bosses who
have, under the guise of republican
leaders, secured the election and ap-
pointment of officials whose sole OBJ
jcct in getting into Office was to prac-
tice dishonesty. 1t has resulted in
the election, by these awakened peo-
PIE, of a ticket made up of men pledg-
ed to reform municipal affairs, to up
hold Mayor Weaver in his attempts to
conduct those affairs honestly
Just how Mayor Weaver got into
Office is something of a mystery, prob
ably even to the bosses, who are now
endorsed. But he landed the mayor.
atty in some manner best known to
himself, probably, and set about the
task of cleaning house. Bossism had
no terrors for him and the mandate of
the bosses fell upon deaf ears, when
it was directed toward the mayor.
Everyone who likes to see honesty
in public Office is glad to see Mayor
Weaver win over graft and bossism
fin Philadelphia. Corruption has nc
place in American institutions and
whenever it is expelled Improvement
must follow. But the political ma.
chine is different proposition, as diff
ferent from bossism and grating as
is day from night. In the first place,

HIS WORK LIVES.

No man could wish a more magnifi-
cent monument to perpetuate his mem
DRY than that which will keep before
the people the name of Sir George
Williams long after his body has be-
come dust. This noble man. who
founded the Young Mems Christian
association, died this week in London.
He leaves behind him the record of
grand career. Death occurred at the
age of "a years, and up to the last Sir
George was active in the work of@the
great society which he established in
London during his youth. At the age
of 81, VIXEN clerk in the British me-
tropolis, he gathered few associates
together for purposes of religious i'm
provement, but without any fixed plan
or belief that the movement would
spread farther In 1874 formal or
ganization was made and the present
name chosen in the conviction that the
association might spread considerably,
but without any idea that it would en-
circle the globe. During the entire
sixty odd years since the beginning
Sir George continued in the affairs of
the Y. NJ G. A.. and for twenty years
has been president of the London head
quarters and also of the English ma
tional council. He achieved marked
success in private business and died
rich man. In recent years he was
Il Great traveller.
The Young Mems Christian associa-
ticn. movement was born at the. right
time. Sir George Williams thought to
meet need felt by himself and few
of his fellow clerks and in SO doing
he outran the wisdom of the churches
and the men who planned for them.
The age was one greatly devoted to
sentiment even in virile England, and
much Of what was regarded as the
manifestation of religion seemed to
robust young men like Sir George
more in the nature of sentimentality.
Naturally the new movement was
much criticised in some quarters and
overdone by the ultra-zealous in 9th
ers. Muscular Christianity some
times developed in way to display
more of the former qualities than the
latter. Pugilism then held the place
among sports now monopolized by
football and some of the new lights
affected to doubt the orthodoxy of any
young man who could not show him
self dabster at the one, two, three
But all that sort of thing soon passed
away. The Young Mems Christian as
sociation had a vital idea behind 1t
and it went on growing, gymnasiums
and all. 1t has spread over civiliza
ton and become an incalculable power
| for good.
