the authority to discharge one of their
servants when he ceases to represent
their interests. They should not be
required to wait until the next gen
eral election. Judge Beatty's conten-
tion ia officially sound, though it is
possible that the law is against him.
On that point we cannot express an
opinion.
Public officials especially in cities,
for it would hardly be practicable to
extend the recall system to states and
to the nation. or even to counties,
would be very much more diligent in
the discharge of their duties if they
knew that at any time they might be
deprived of their places. At the same
time no hardship would be worked on
the honest, capable official.
Men who are elected to office are
only the servants of the people, as
the officers of private corporations are
servants of the stockholders. The
stockholders of any corporation can,
if they desire, compel the calling of
a meeting and the discharge Of officers
who are unfaithfuI. Cities should have
the same right.

NEW WORKERS SELL VOTES.

WRITING IN HARPER'S WEEKLY,
w John Gilmer Speed calls attention
to the common practice Of vote buy
ing in New York state, and makes out
"A very bad case. 1t has long been
known that votes are bought and sold
in New York City, but the up state
people were supposed to be fairly hon
est. Mr.. Speed finds that this theory
is incorrect. The conditions outside
the metropolis are as bad or worse
than the conditions inside the city.
Speaking of Albany he says that
men active in local politics estimate
that from so to 70 per cent of the avail
able election funds is paid 10 voters
who actually sell their votes. and these
include from % to 30 per centsOf the
total number OF voters. Some years
ago a man long active in local politics
made a careful study OF bribery and
corruption in elections, and concluded
that 1000 of the $4,000 votes cast in
this county were purchasable. The
vote now cast in the county has in
creased to considerably more than 49,
600. Men now active in politics are

on the increase; that men who own
houses and lots, and who would re-
sent any accusation of selling their
votes, do, nevertheless, to a degree ever
growing greater, demand and expect
to receive money at eIections-'their
share OF the campaign fund as they
term it. This applies to contested pri-
maries as well as to general elections
In the rural districts farmers, store
keepers and supposedly respectable
men see no harm IN selling their votes.
And it was a New Yorker who talked
about the rotten boroughs' of the
west. We may not know as much out
here as some Of our eastern friends,
but If half Of the stories written about
the eastern states are true, we could
give them a good many practical les

THE PRESIDENTS TOUR.

d RESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S tour
across the country has been one
long ovation. Crowds have gathered at
every station, even when it had been
announced in advance that no stops
would be made, and wherever the pres
ident has spoken his remarks have
been received with the most cordial
manifestations of approval. Thus far
the president has harped constantly on
one subject-war.
Every time he has spoken, if his
speech did not contain more than two
hundred words. there has been some
thing i'll it about war. There are con-
tinual references to the men who wore
the gray and the men who wore the
blue in the civil war, and the illusions
to our war with Spain have been even
more frequent. The fact that one oe
the chief purposes of the presidents
trip is to attend a reunion of his old
regiment accounts. of course, for his
war talk. but the country is entitled
to something else.

] who hailed the political demise of
Mr.. Bryan with joy about a year ago,
probably regard him today as the live

Instead of being buried decentIy and

can afford to commend his Republican
friend, Roosevelt, for such portions of
his policy as have been stolen bodily
from the Bryan platform; and he, Bry-
an, is already planning to have a com

that he Is easily the most conspicuous
