COLER AT THE AUCTION ROOM
Does II F~oFeahadow q Coier-Shevlin Pact
for McCarren's Overthrow?

tOf MCSatfeh'b overthrow?
President Bird g. Coler Of the borough
Of Brooklyn made q pilgrimage yesterday
10 the old Willoughby street Auction room,
which had long been the headquarters Of
the late Hugh Mclaughlin, to whom Mr.,
Coler was indebted for his start In the
political world. II was the first visit Of
Mr.. Coler TO the aution room since the death
Of the old Democratic leader, and naturally
caused much gossip among the politicians.
Mr.. Coler had a protracted conference with
MIR. James Shevlin, who was Mr.. McLaugh-
Inns chief lieutenant for a quarter Of a
century, and who has been recognized as
the leader Of the Wliloughby street element
in the organization opposed to the leadership
OF Senator Patrick Henry MoCarren. 1t ia
believed that the friendly conference be-
tween Coler and Shevlin fo~reshadows an
end Of a long standing feud between them
and a close political alliance, specially
aimed against the continuance of MoCar.
both are animated by a strong desire TO

An Excellent Role.

The Board Of Education has adopted
n rule forbiddlng the collection Of money
from pupils or teachers for the purchase
Of presents for superintendent OF others
in the department. IL Is O good rule.
II should have been in effect long ago,
1t should be supplemented by a rule
prohibiting teachers from making pres.
ents to the pupils under them. We have
received numerous letters from classroom
teachers who say that the gifts they feel
compelled TO make to the children cost
more than they oar afford to spend and
cause q serious drain on their resources.
The custom Of making gifts should
not be countenanced when 1t may result
in the coercion or practical Matchmaking
Of those who are expected to contribute
to the cost. This is almost sure to DO
the case in public institutions, where q
refusal to give may subject a person to
humiliation.
The conscientious school teacher gives
daily to pupil and State far more than Is
paid for by the taxpayers.

Secretary Hitchcock Still Busy.

II the case against the Standard Oil
Company is prosecuted with half the
vigor, intelligence and unwavering per-
sistence shown by the Interior Depart
ment in its pursuit Of the land thieves,
the process and its results are likely to
keep the public interested for a consid-
cradle time.
Secretary HITCHCOCK and Attorney
HzNEY are still busy. They are still
beating out old cases, but are not con-
tent with that. Every little while a
hand reaches out and grabs a new bunch
OF offenders. The latest hand brings in
twenty-one alleged violators of the law.
One Of the most gratifying features Of
Mr.. HITcHcocK's work is the utter alb
senoe Of any shadow Of discrimination
between rich and poor, between high
and low. His gridiron has been deco
rated with a United States Senator, a
clergyman, members Of the House, mer-
chants, spectators and millionaires.
The latest cast Of the dragnet brings in
seven lumbermen, three bankers, three
publishers, two former Government off,
oisls, three lawyers and three business
men. Some are residents Of Oregon,
while others hail from different parts Of
the oountry-from Michigan, Minnesota
and Arkansas.
Az a result Of the evidence submitted
by the Department, the Federal Grand
Jury at Portland, Ore, has indicted
these gentlemen, and Judge WoLvERroN
holds each Of them under a 1000 bond.
1nasmuoh as the dragnets are out in
other areas, another haul may be ex-
peoted at any time. The next one will
probably be in the Middle West.
The sound Of the gong and the tom
tom is notably absent from these pro-
oeedings, but the work goes on, In their
manner Of delivering the goods" Sec
rotary HITCHCOCK and Mr.. HENEY set
the pace for honest reformers.

The Senate passed a bill to prohibit

is .proverbial, made some temperate
assertions. We believe that he doesn't
accuse more than seventy members Of
having been bribed. THOMAS and JOHN

The Prosecution OF Election Crimes,

A favorable report has been made by
President, ice-President and Repre-
sentatives in Congress on the bill intro
duced by MIR, BoNYNGE of Colorado pro-
viding for the punishment by the United
States authorities of offenders against
the elective franchise, The measure is
not designed to put elections under
Federal control, nor is it proposed to
revive the system Of Federal SUPER
vision that existed only a few years.
The author OF the bill seeks only to pro-
cure the enactment Of a law under which
those guilty of false registration, bribery
and intimidation might be prosecuted in
United States courts when the crimes
were committed at a registration or
election In which the choice Of Federal
officers wa involved.
Mr., BoNYNGE comes from Denver, and
at the election OF 1902 he was defeated
for Representative on the face of the
returns by Representative JOHN F.
SHAFHoTH, Democrat. Mr.. BoNYNGE
made a contest. After much evidence
had been taken Mr.. SHAFRoTH arose, on
February Is. 1904, in the House, and, de-
claring that it was evident his apparent
plurality had been obtained by fraud,
publicly relinquished his claim to the
seat On the ground that he had no wish
to profit by political corruption, Mr..
SHAFRoTH's action wa entirely unex-
peoted by his colleagues and won for
him much applause. In 1904 Mr.. SHA-
FRorH vas defeated for Representative
at Large by FRANKLIN f, BROOKS, who
now reports Mr., B~oSYNGE's bill for the
committee.
