Weaver's Blow to Reform,

The complications which have arisen
in the city or reform party Of Philadel.
phia must make the machine men Choir
tie with glee. The city party recently
held convention and named a. Mr.. d.
Clarence Gibboney for district attorney
over Mayor, M. Weaver's candidate.
Mr.. Weaver brought in afidavits to
show that delegates had beer" bribed
Thereupon Gibboney declined the nomi!
nation and reform went in the air.
r. Mayor Weaver's tactics have, caused
considerable criticism since it appeared
that he had been actnated mostly by a
burning desire to dictate the nomina.
tion Of Fred J. shoyer, his personal
candidate. Several Of his cabinet dis
approved publicly Of the way he. had
acted and then the mayor made himself
ridiculous by rushing from department
to department demanding designations
There Is considerable doubt cast
upon the value Of Mayor Weaver s affi
davits Of bribery. They certainly did
not offset the result.
But Mayor Weaver has dealt reform
blow by setting up within its ranks
the methods Of the machine. It was
the ambition Of the city party that its
conventions should always be open
that there should be no advance eau
cusing nor any ''leaders'' hauling dele
gates around by the nose. The first
convention Of the city, party was 6
model. The results flowing from il
were a victory for good government
But Weaver, who came out of the
camp Of the machine as Saul Of Tarsus
came out of that Of the prosecutors, ap
parently has not been able to divest
himself permanently of the tricks hi
learned under Durham.

Armour jGallantry.

The Drovers journal Stockman is
displeased because the Chicago news
papers failed to give much prominence
to the act Of j. Ogden Armour, whose
gallant rescue of a little girl from UNI
der the wheels Of streetcar received
but a line or two of mention. Had he
been policeman or fireman.. the Jour
nal-Stockman contends, the act would
have been blazoned forth to the world.
i AS it was Mr.. Armour, being a man
of great wealth, Of the much.despised
capitalistic class, whose principal occu-
patton in common acceptance is getting
the money away from the other fellow.
received little credit. The Inference
would be that the newspapers went
upon the principle that "trust mag
nate can do nothing brave or gallant.
Observers Of the incident say that
Mr.. Armour went after the little girl
like Minnesota football player after
the ball;y and that he whisked her out
from under the car with utter disre-
gard for his own neck. There is real
ly nothing surprising in this. If Mr..
Armour has in him the qualities that
in humber station would have made of
him good policeman, fireman, football
player or soldier, he need not neces-
sarily have lost them because he is car
rying the burden of some millions of
money upon his rather young shoulders.
The trouble is that Chicago is a poor
town for recognition of true sport and
does not know the real thing when it
sees it. II l.. 49, j. s.
In Minneapolis this act would have
been accepted as quite BETTING the

formed greater feat. The heavy car
Of jealous opposition was about to
crush the newborn packing industry,
but Mr.. Armour whisked the infant out
from under the wheels and now she is
growing nicely and will be quite a
child by next summer.

JEWS KEEP YOM KIPPUR
DAY OF ACHIEVEMENT, MOST SOL
EMN OF ALL FAsTs, TO BE OBJ
SERVED SATURDAY.

When the first star CLEANS in tho
heavens this evening the most solemn.
important and strictly observed of all
Jewish holidays, Yom Kippur, the day
of atonement, the day of the long fast.
is ushered in. It is the 10th day Of the
month of Tishri and the end of the ten
penitential days, which are devoted to
repentance and prayers. Yom Kippur
is held as strict fast day by the ortho-
dox Jew. It begins, as do all the fasts
and festivals in the Jewish calendar. in
following evening. During the twenty
four hours from sunset to sunset no
food or water passes the lips of the
devout Hebrews. Men and women
alike are required to fast, and the only
ones who are exempted from this re-
quirement are children, the aged, per-
sons in i'll health, and nursing mothers.
Beside the long fast the day is de-
voted to prayers Of forgiveness Of sin
and in all the Jewish calendar there is
no occasion which is SO solemn and SO
| fraught with deep sentiment as at this
time. The services in the orthodox SYM
agog are practically continuous.
This evening the day is ushered in
with the Kol Nidre, observed by the
reformed and orthodox alike, altho I'm.
der different circumstances. The sol
emn and inspiring music has been
adapted to modern orchestras and IS
thus heard in the sanctraries of the re.
formed. In the synagogs Of the ortho.
| dox it Is chanted by the eantors.
The services of tomorrow are divided
into four sections known as Shacheras.
Mussaf, Mincha and N 'hila, but there
is no intermission between the differ
emit sections, and the services continue
until sunset, when the Shofar, the ram 4
horn, is sounded once only as an indi.
cation that the fast is ended.
The day Of atonement will be ce1e-
brated in the Jewish Reform synagog.

La Follette's Reverse.

w. D. Conner of Marshfeld seems to
have succeeded Senator La Toilette as
the republican boss Of Wisconsin. Con-
nor Is La Toilette man from way
back, and was chairman Of La Fol-
1ette's committee in his big fight two
years ago, but he got tired Of the one
man power exhibition and Joined his
forces this year with Governor David
son. Conner ran for lieutenant gov
ernor, and he and...Davidson both won
out in the primaries. They claim to
be just as good reformers as they ever
were, but deny La Follette's claim to a
monopoly Of political wisdom and vir-
tue in Wisconsin.
AS between Davidson and Conner, it
is evident that Conner is the real lead
er. When La Toilette tried to take
the organization away from them in the
candidates convention, it was Conner
who handled the opposition forces, and
in order to win he let himself be re-
elected chairman Of the state committee,
tho he is himself a candidate for office.
Governor Davidson Is to some extent
an accident, while Conner, man Of
wealth and talent, is now the most
powerful man in the wisconsin organi-
zation. Without doubt he will be a
candidate against Senator Spooner two
years from next winter, and the La
Toilette wing will find itself compelled
to support him. They could not hope
to put in third candidate and win in
such a divided; field, without the
'sfMary. Ann amendment to the pri-
mary law, providing for second choice
votes This amendment the Common
Davidson wing defeated in, the conven-
tion, thereby showing great astuteness.
It is also noticeable that the platform
lauds La Toilette. and is silent on
Spooner, demonstrating that it was an
anti-Spooner gathering, and that the
La Toilette and Conner wings are still
agreed in their opposition to the senior
senator. They will not agree, how
ever, to let Senator La Toilette dictate
the choice Of Lenroot or any other of
his favorites to be Spooner's successor.
0onnor has the whip hand now, and
Will probably hold it.. $780,. T..
It is a strange situation. La Fol
lette was nominated for governor three
times in succession, under the conven-
ton system, but all the while was
fighting for the direct primary. IN
der the first experiment with the prima-
~ he loses his grip. No doubt sena-
tor La Toilette himself could be nomi-
mated, for any office in the gift Of the
state, under the primary, but beyond
that he: cannot go. Other men have to
stand on their own merits before the
people, and cannot ride into Office upon
a La Toilette Endorsement. ga =. &c

No Railroad Conscience Funds.

Inc Santa. Fe railroad people at To.
peka have been greatly amused by
recent contribution to the conscience
fund: A man who bought a ticket of
scalper some years ago has suffered,
an awakening Of Conscience as to the.
honesty Of the transaction and has re-:
turned to- the company $27.insHe says:
that he has made the matter the sub
ject of prayer and has been advised to to
remit $27. The rate clerks are un-
able to imagine how he came to get an
answer to his prayer which decided
upon that figure. The amount would
be somewhat larger if he were to remit
the actual difference between the regu-
lar fare and the scalper IS ticket.
This incident suggests, however, that
while railroads have a conscience fund:
into which they put money contributed
by the awakened consciences Of trav,.
elers and shippers, there does not APP
pear to be any conscience fund from
which to take money to square up dis
examinations, rebates and overcharges
in favor Of; those Disseminated against.
