Aristides Came Back.

People who, for purposes of their
own, make use of the name Of Aristides,
should tell the whole story. Few states
men have left so pure and honorable a
reputation as Aristides. He died poor.
Aristides was one of the ten generals
who commanded the Athenians when
the Persians invaded Greece. Each
general had a right to command the
army day. but Aristides, recognize
ing the superior military genius Of Mil
tiades, gave up to him his own day and
persuaded all the other generals to do
the same, so that Miltiades commanded
at Marathon out of his turn.
Later, on the pretext that his inf1u-
ence was against the public interest,"
he probably stood for. the square en-
forcement;so the 1aw-he was ostra-
.cized, and tradition has preserved the
story that he asked a citizen who was
voting against him why he did and re-
ceived the reply that he was tired Of
hearing Aristides called "the just.'s
But the people Of Athens repented Of
best leaders, and Aristides came back
home to command the troops which in
ficted a terrible defeat upon the Per-
slams at Platea.
Aristides' fate was not particularly
different from that Of other men who
have served the tickle public. He had
his ups and downs. The point about
Aristides which may have a significance
in our time is that he. never compro-
missed his convictions to get an Office.
He stood for something and the people
came around to his ideas. He never
got up fake campaign nor did he ever
permit thugs to blacken the character
of his opponent while he went about
among the better classes to beguile
I them with glittering promises. When
Aristides promised anything he aimed
E to deliver the goods. Hence he was not
able to promise as much as some others.
The oficeseekers, lawbreakers and
scandal mongers who were the news
makers of Athens had no use for him.
But when the country was in danger,
when the follies Of the groundlings had
reduced Athens to fearful straits, when
she was comprised about by powerful
enemies, Athens remembered that Aris:
tides had been a good citizen. They
could use good citizens in time Of dan.
ger, tho they scorned them in time of
prosperity.
The story Of Aristides is very in
teresting one when it is all told.

Progress of the Charter.

The charter, like the man who pro-
poses frequently and feelingly, is max
ing progress. The first home rule char
ter was submitted in 1898, when it re-
ceived 1856 votes to 9,287 cast against
it. The total vote was 32,878, and the
charter was, therefore, hopelessly
beaten. The 1900 charter. was even
more .decisively rejected, q only a10, 57l'
voting for it while 1895 recordedatheir
votes in the negative. Two years ago,
a charter was again submitted and 49,
75S people voted for it and 1850 were
against it. For the first time the char
ter had good majority of the people
who voted upon the question at all.
This year the number Of opponents is
about the same as two years ago, but
the affirmative vote has grown three or
four thousand: A larger percentage Of
the total vote cast expresses itself on
the charter question.
These are indications that the cam
paign Of education is having its effect,
but whether a charter can ever be car
ried in a general election is. still ,ex-
tremely doubtful. Something else al
ways takes the attention Of the. voter.
He has not studied the charter question
because he has been busy with personal
politics or with other matters, and he
does not vote one way or the other.
It was thought that putting the charter
on separate ballot would induce more
people to vote on the subject. It un-
doubtedly had considerable effect in
that direction. but it nd not prevent
thousands Of blank ballots being re-
turned to the judges. - 80. < .
If charter election could be had,
there is scarcely any doubt that a mod
crate charter could be adopted, since
in such campaign the public attention
would be focused on the proposition,
the objections to the charter thoroly dis
cussed' and the public mind satisfied.
Minneapolis ought to have such an cleo
ton. The cost Of holding it should not
stand in the way Of securing a proper
expression Of public opinion on mat
ter that is Of fundamental Importance.

New York Republicans Ratified.

s
The returns from New York are not
much to make a fuss about. Hughes
is chosen governor by 10000 less than
Higgins, a weak candidate, had two
years ago, and all the rest Of the dem
ocratic ticket is elected. The demo
Gratis have made gains in congress, in
the legislature, in the control Of the
cities Of the state and in the amount
Of patronage, which they will be en-
abled to dispense thru the state offices
they have captured. 49,.
To all appearances the only man who
has won a victory is the man of all
men who should have been beaten, that
is the low-browed chief Of Tammany
Hall. Murphy has sent all his gas
gang back to the legislature, and has
captured ten judgeships In the supreme
court, which will be good for fourteen
years. Thru the election Of subordi-
nate members Of the state ticket, he
has secured grip on state politics
which he will not be slow to use. This
will appear when the democratic canal
commission begins to give out contracts
for the new work on the Erie deepen.
ing project. .E=..* s. >a...@- ....
The fact seems to be that the cleo
ton Of Hughes IS almost barren. The
majority was not sufficient to serve as
rebuke to the kind. Of politics Hearst
INDUCES in and the practical results or
the rest Of the ticket show that repub-
lican ascendancy in the empire state is
sadly shaken. The claim that Hughes
was cut thru treachery up state, is not
consistent with the fact that the major
tiles brought down to the Harlem river
did not differ 500. Mr.. Hughes was
elected in New York city by the dem
ocrats who bolted Hearst, but voted
the rest Of their state ticket. Had the
democrats been able to swallow Hearst,
their whole ticket was elected by from
5000 to 10000.
Mr.. Hughes spoke very truly when
he said that the returns gave him not
so much q feeling Of elation as Of re-
sponsibility. He faces a hard. task,
that of demonstrating to the people of
New York that he can galvanize public
virtue and can drive out bosses without
their taking droves of voters with
them. Hearst could not do it. - AS
the returns show, McCarren was strong
er in Brooklyn than the nominee. It
would have been different if the nomi-
nee had not been SO unfit: as to make
McCarren's opposition look like vir-
tue where virtue was least expected.
This aspect Of the case gives some
hope for Governor Hughes. He has on
his side capacity, courage, and charac-
ter. If he has also patience, insight,
and breadth of statesmanship, he may
succeed in making the republican party
of New York once more respectable
and respected. ,s-s~... ~. , f.. .~,.-> 80,

Cabinet Officers in Politics.

There has been more Of q ten
dency to resent the activity of
cabinet officials in politics this
year than ever before. Hith-
erto it has been deemed good and legi-
innate politics to turn loose these emil
nent men upon the country to coun-
sci, guide and instruct the voters. No.
president has ever discouraged this sort
OF activity, and In fact many Of them
have made point Of getting their ad-
visers on the stump in the doubtful
states. A conspicuous instance Of this
is the action Of President Roosevelt in
permitting Mr.. Root to speak by his
authority In the New York campaign.
The circumstances there were excep-
tional. Hearst was deceitfully trading
upon the work Of the president. The
campaign was In the state of both the
president and the secretary Of state,
and yet it is considered doubtful by
the New York newspapers whether Mr..
Roots speech did the republican canM-
date Tor governor as much good as
harm. It was looked upon as an asser-
ton Of influence, almost Of authority,
over the people Of New York which
was to be resented rather than praised.
But there can hardly be any honest
cavn against cabinet officers taking
part in the political campaigns which
involve national issues. If we were
under q parliamentary government 1t
would be the business Of the cabinet to
go out and explain, defend and eulo-:
gize the acts of the party in power.
Ours is not strictly parliamentary
government, but it is quite plain that
the members Of the cabinet are politi-
Cal agents. They have another func-
ton, it is true, to transact certain Off
cial acts which are executive and which
may be considered non-partizan. But
they have to sustain the acts of the
president, who is the head of a politi-
cal party. On the stump and in the
press they are entitled to do that. But
there are ways and means Of doing it
which are good, and ways and means
which are bad. The spectacle of Secre-
tary Shaw trotting from state to state
and from town to town has not been
edifying. He has not been at the treas
ury except to look in occasionally for
weeks. The idea of Mr.. Root making a
speech by authority Of the president
was also trife undignifed. Mr.. Root
could have represented himself. He is
a big enough man to fill role.
We shall probably continue to hear
from cabinet ministers in politics, but
we shall be surprised if out Of this
campaign there does not come some re-
adjustment Of ideas as to their politi-s
cal relations which will put them on a
more dignifed End approved plane.

The DistlnctIveIy Anglo Saxon Crime
IS contempt Of court" says Thomas B,
Mosoy' pardon attorney to the governor
OF Missouri, in the October Arena. Not
only is 1t of peculiarly Anglo-saxon ORR
gin: but 1T is the one anomaly in the
jurisprudence Of the United States and
OF the Anglo-Saxon countries.
The distinguishing peculiarities of the
crime are these: First-No man may GER
fanny know when he commits 1t. Second
There is no right Of trial by jury to de-
term1ne the guilt or innocence of the per-
son charged. Third-The offender is ar
ra1gned before his accuser alone, who Is
prosecutor, judge and jury in the cause.
Fourth-Ihere is no limitation upon the
amount of fine. or the extent Of the i'm
pr1sonment imposed, and, Fifth-No
power on earth can pardon one convicted
of the crime. = 49, .-il7

CATHOLICS ARE AROUSED.
APPEALS ARE SENT FORTH FOR
MEMBERS OF CHURCH TO
GATHER AND PROTECT THEIR
PASTORS.
Publishers Press. ]


Paris, Dec. 1.-THE French gov
eminent took steps late last night tc
precipitate the crisis growing out of
the religious controversy, when no.
church officials in the city, including
the Archbishop of Paris, TO immediate
ly vaeate all their residences and fur
thaF conveying the intimation that ii
tbey were not out of them by neon
/bday, forces would be used to evict
them. The result is that there were
posted in public places during the
night and in several of the churches
appeals calling upon all Catholics to
gather to protect their pastors at any
cost.
In answer to these threats the gov
eminent has notified the police
throughout the country that crowds
must not be permitted to gather to-
day and that all priests who resis. the
officers of the law are to be at once
arrested.
A special session of the cabinet has
been called for noon today at which
time the entire controversy is to be
cedure arranged by the President and
prime minister confirmed. This plan
while earthly guarded, is understood
force the law, the government hold
to be simply a decision to radically en-
force the law, the government hold
ing that the Vatican and not the
French nation is to blame. All church
property, ornaments, ritualistic appli
ances, ETC., are to be held in trust
for a year but will at once be taken
from the churches and stored in safe
places. Il
The project of police OF Paris is
in his office and will stay there
throughout the day. He has com
pleted his plans for dealing with the
riotous demonstrations that are sure
to come today and claims to have the
entire situation we'll in hand.
