Mcclellan and Jerome.

A Tammany ticket with Mcclellan for
mayor and Jerome for district attorney is
suggested. 1t Is a droli conception. The
rank and file organization men would be
appealed to on McCleIlans record of dis
tributing favors to the faithful. while the
independents would be assured that with
Jerome still on deck the guilty when ex-
posed would be punished. In other words
as many of the unworthy as might get by
the mayor would be held up by the district
attorney, and so the city would not suffer.
This sort of thing would be Impossible any
where else. but IN New York many strange
things go. Cookers nomination of Shop
hard for mayor was not more remarkable
than would Murphys nomination of Jerome
be. But Jerome is not soliciting. as Shep-
hard did, office at Tammanys hands after

the Norwegian spirit. which has always
been strongly democratic. The dominant
sentiment throughout the days of the old
Norsemen was less feudal than participant
The leaders were the strong men, to be
sure, but they were responsible to their

utmost freedom OF intercourse between
rulers and people. The commoners felt at

Modern Norway has proved progressive in

some strong men. natural leaders. The
sense of wrong has bred a community of
patriots.
It is out of just such materials that an
ideal republic is to be evolved The people
are so nearly unanimous in their desire to
separate from Sweden that the vote In op-

The republican house-cieanng In Penn

is a big job. Years of sloth and crime have
done their work. and the premises are very
foul Attention at the start was centered on
Philadelphia, where honest and cner-
getic mayor was welding the broom. But
now the whole state Is astir, and in big
towns and in little ones. and wherever op-
portunity has existed for the practice of
skullduggery, the dust is flying and muck

Mary Mapes Dodge.

For more than thirty years Mrs. Mary
Mapes Dodge has been an unfailing contrib
utor to the joys of childhood through her
work as editor of one of the best-known of
the magazines for little folks. Her name
has been a household word. her influence
has been spread through every state and
even into foreign countries and there can
be no doubt that life has been the sweeter
and better for her ministrations In behalf
OF the youngsters. The news of her death
comes as a personal shock to the old and

sure Norway that IL the step toward true
democracy is once taken the movement

There are practical reasons for the re-
publican experiment apart from a demo-
cratic desire on the part of the people. The
king hunt has thus far proved fruitless A
sinister influence is at work to check Nor
ways efforts to establish a monarchy. Fhe

Is willing to accept a figure-head ruler on
dangerous conditions. A foreigner imported
for the purpose of wearing a tnsel crown
would never exercise any influence with the
Norwegians. He would merely satisfy their
fondness for display. The imported mon

other small states that it is likely to COM
mend itself in the last analysis to the
shrewd, sensible Mortimer.

Sanitary Education.

From the New York Herald.
The necessity OF educating the public on
sanitary matters especially in times of
epi3smic. Is forcbly illustrated by the diff
hculties that the federal officers have ex-
perienced In enforcing the proper regula-
tons to stay the spread of yellow fever in
New Orleans. Some of the most intelli-
gent citizens have been found SO derelict
In such respects that 1t has been neces-
sary TO use the most stringent methods TO
overcome their unconcern and apathy.
There is less excuse for such an attitude
on their part, they have had abundant
opportunities for acquiring all the neces-
sary knowledge the subject to enable
them to act intelligently and consistently
in seconding the laudabe efforts of the
sanitary authorities.
More or less opposition must be ex-
pected from the ignorant portion OF the
populace, but even this should be over
come by proper education when a proper
example is afforded them. New Orleans
lost her opportunities by tampering with
the situation in the beginning. and has eff
fectually demonStra ted, by the recent de-
cline OF her fever cases, the utility of cen
trahzed authority in tacking the source
of the evil.

A Boardwalk Ballad.

There is girl well worthy to be signalized
in song;
She's not dreamy summer girl. She's
active and she's strong
She loves to seek the seashore, where the
bounding pillows play
When once she hits the boardwalk she Will
travel all the day.
She doesn't wonder what the waves are
saying they roar:
Her sole ambition is to walk and then to
walk some more.
She trudges in the sunshine and she trudges
in the rain.
1t is the joy of living for Atlantic City
Jane.
When out in competition with that pranc-
ing populace
She may not finish first, but She is sure to
get place.
And when at last she's covered all the dis
lance of the track
She simply turns around and makes the
self-same journey back.
Her muscles never falter and her courage
never fails
Her boot-heels sound like hammers that are
busy driving nails.
She wears a smile seraphic and her soul is
free from pain.
Earth holds no greater pleasure for Allan
tic City Jane

The BENNINGTON Report.

The naval court of inquiry in the Ben
nington case appeared to have little diff
Guilty In reaching a clear understanding of
the cause of the explosion. According to
the report now published. there was plainly
lax state of discipline and low standard
of efficiency on board the ship in respect to
the engine room organization. Orders were
given that the boilers should not carry
more than 1870 or 135 pounds of steam. and
yet no one saw to 1t that the safety valves
were changed in accordance. Thus they
continued to allow a pressure of 145
pounds. Furthermore. an order was issued
last March to have the safety valve of the
boiler which was first wrecked thoroughly
oVerhauled. that valve not having been
examined since July of last year. There is
no record that this order was executed
When. on the fatal day. the vessel was
Leaving port and the stokers were busily at
work feeding the furnaces, the boilers were
making steam at a rapid rate. The acting
water tender ordered one of the fremen to
shut off the aircock Of boiler e. The fire.
man turned off a cock and no one noticed
that 1t was the wrong one and that the
steam gauge Immediately failed to show
pressure. Thus for some time before the
accident one of the boilers in use showed
not pound of steam, and SO lax was the
organization of the engine room that there
was no one hand capable OF noting the
fact. Had this steam gauge been in con-
nection the dangerous pressure would have
been recorded, but it remains question
whether the fact would have been noticed,
or. II noticed, corrected. For the safety
valve of this boiler was set some ten
pounds above the safety line and there was
apparently careless reliance in the ap-
paratus and no competent supervision
The deaths that resulted from the boiler
explosion are attributable to this lax state
OF affairs In the engine ROOM and the court
of inquiry very properly calls for the court
martial of the officer whose negligence is
alleged as the primary cause of the de-
plorable conditions. His trial and punish
ment, if found guilty. should not be neces-
sary to cause an immediate cure of similar
conditions wherever they may exist in the
naval service. The public is disconnected
to find that the Bennington's engine room
was so badly managed. 1t is asking
whether this vessel an exception or
whether there prevails throughout the navy
tendency toward indifference. And there
Is feeling that such a state of affairs
must reflect upon officers of higher rank
than the ensign in charge of the engines.
Is there no system VI scrutiny ana super

checks to make sure that the most essen

The End Of Addicksp

Mr.. Addicks, we are again told has
reached the end of his string. As the story
gees, even his oldest friends are now con-
vIrced that he cannot win the senatorship,
and SO are taking thought Of the party S
welfare. They want him to stand aside and
give somebody else a chance.
1t ia agreeable news, but It might be we'll
not to rejoice too soon. He Is a man OF
many resources. and. although not as rich
as he once was. has still pile. And while
his pile holds out his ambition is likely to
keep 1t company. What his old friends may
find it necessary to do. therefore. Is to fight
him openly. and that will try their pluck.
After trucking to hip so long have they
got the necessary sand?
The case of MIR. Addicks Is one OF the
strangest In the country. Many rich men
have aspired to high office solely on the
strength of their wealth, and some have
realized their ambitions by the very means
that the Delaware man has employed. But
no other rich man has ever held on in the
face of repeated defeats and growing
odium. and defed the scorn and protests
of the sensitive people of his own and
other states. For over fifteen years the ef-
forts of Mr. Addicks to buy his way Into
the Senate have afforded texts for both
sermons and editorials OF the severest char
acter
If Delaware could afford It. she might
punish this man by sending him to the
Senate. He would be the lonesomest and
most unhappy man there that ever sat In
the chamber. Without qualifications for
the office of senator. he would have to de-
pend upon others for guidance and would
find his company anything but desirable
Some pretty toagh customers have In time
found their way there, but not one of them
enjoyed his stay, or succeeded in getting
an Endorsement at home. A second pur
chase was always impossible.
Ii Mr.. Addicks Is. indeed. approaching his
finish a marplot, Delaware is to be con-
graduated Her place IN the Senate was
for many years highly hOnored one, and
doubtless she has still sons capable of re-
vivipg her former renown.

eliminate from court practice some of the
notorious dilatory procedures. so the general
