ern representative of the family for nearly
dozen years. He has knowledge of
the smelling business and is regarded as
one of the ablest mining experts in the
country. So enormously has the wealth

seven men runs into the hundreds Of mil
lions.

ASSAULT AND ROBBERY.
John T. Mangum Knocked Down Last
Night by HighWavmen.

The police were notified last night that
John T. Mangum, an engineer on the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad. had been as
saulted and robbed of $21 while in the
lexington freight yard. He was found in
the yard about o'clock suffering from a
painful cash in his head, and friends took
him to his home, 618 T street northeast,
where his injury was dressed. Mr.. Man.
gum received his pay yesterday afternoon
and was on his way home last night when,
he states, he was struck on his head from
behind and knocked senseless.
A relative of his appeared upon the scene
shortly after Mr.. Mangum had been
knocked down, but he did not reach there
until after the latter's money had been
taken. Mr.. Mangum was near lexington
place and Q street when the robbery took
place. That section, the police say, Is not
well lighted, and it was an easy matter for
the assault and robbery to have been COM
mitted without much fear of detection on
the part of the outlaws.
Inspector Boardman received the report
from the police of the eighth precinct this
morning and assigned Detectives Hartigan
and Baur upon the case. Mr.. Mangum be-
ieves the crime was committed by white
men who followed him from a business
place on North Capitol street.

JEROME ON HEARST.
SAYS He Does Not Think Latter is Yet
Down and Out.

A dispatch from New York says: Dis
trict Attorney Jerome in discussing the
election yesterday announced a few of
the conclusions he drew from the universal
knitting of the head of the democratic ticket.
Mr. Jerome remarked, however. that a COM
plete realization of the significance of the
vote would not be possible without analyz-
ing carefully the returns from every part
of the state and that 1t would take pO-
liticai expert Of the first caliber to diagnose
properly the manifold characteristics OF the
ballot cast on November 6.
Yes, / know there has been an cleo
tion," said Mr.. Jerome when reporters be-
gan to ask questions. but l have re-
Trained from talking about it. because there
Is so much to say once you get started and
there are many sides to the question
that it Is difficult to figure 1t all out just
yet OF course. the thing that stands out
is the way Hearst ran behind his asso-
ciates, instead of their being the tails to his
kite. as he thought they would be-
do you think that Hearst Is down and
out?'
mo. not at ALL If he should change his
methods bit and conduct more conser-
vative campaign for the same principles
that he espoused this fall there is no reason
why he should not become very great
power. though probably not in the demo-
cratic party. The American people forget
things easily. and, provided man does
not do anything too terrible and trims his
sails right, he can regain public esteem
without great difficulty.
THE chief mistake Hearst made was in
sandbagging the democratic party to make
it do. his bidding, instead of sitting back,
as he says he is going to do now, and
fighting in the ranks Then, when the
party had carried the state he would have
doomed up in large proportions. instead Of
being the figure he is now.
But to say that he will not come up
again is poor prophecy. His papers give
him control Of a tremendous force, and If
he will apply it in q different way-that
is. using saner methods and a more con-
servative character of attack-he may well
become big man again"

HADLEY ON TRADE.
The President of Yale Upholds Com
petition.

A dispatch from New York says: Presi-
dent Hadley of Yale University delivered a
lecture here on 1.-THE Ethics of Trade yes
terday afternoon. The address was the Sec
ond in series of four being given by
President Hadley on 1.-THE Basis of Public
Morals" under the auspices of the School
of Philanthrophy, conducted by the Char
ity Organization Society of the city. A
number Of Wall street men were present
Yesterday After outlining the history Of
the doctrine that competition Is the correct
regulation of prices. President Hadley
said, in part
The objections to modern trade ethics are
two First, modern trade In it's larger forms
is mere Notwithstanding or something
worse. Secondly, fair competition does not
exist and cannot exist except when buyer
and seller are on equal terms. When they
are unequal, as when capitalist and a
laborer are dealing with each other, the
weaker Is crushed by the stronger.
Much Of the present day speculation is
bad But side by side with the bad there is
much that is good and indeed necessary.
The first essential in right speculation Is
that man must be really able to make
good his guarantee as to the future. In
other words, he must be risking his own
money. II he Is making contracts for
future delivery on the basis of other peo-
pies money 1t means that the profits, if
there are profits, will go to him, and the
losses, II there are losses. will fall on some
body else. This is not trade: 1t is gambling
with loaded dice. II we can insist that the
man shall have capital to make good his
guarantees we shall pave the way for a
process Of natural selection by which the
skillful man who can meet the needs of the
public will come to the front, while the un-
skillful man with whom speculation Is mere
gambling will retire from the business as
Improbable.
/ hold In regard to the competitive sys-
tenn that the good greatly outweighs the
evil 1t seems to me undeniable that all
through the nineteenth century the work
men as class have been making great
progress, and that the general standard of
workmen's wages in each successive gener-
alton enables him to buy more things and
better things than his father did.
The abuses Of child labor, the sweating
system, the tenement house cigar system
and the other parts Of our Industrial system
which shock US most are remnants of the
old methods, not characteristics Of the new
ones.
One phase of the competitive system
which seems particularly dangerous Is
where uniettered immigrants with low
standard of living take the bread out Of
the mouths of men Of higher grade INTEL
lectually and morally, with correspond
irgly higher standard of living. Yet even
here I am convinced that competition Is
advantageous. that the number Of people
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1906-11-10

who are able to rise from the lowest grade
of labor Is indefinitely greater than the
number of those who unable to do so
and are crowded out of the means of self
support The Irishman of 1880 forced the
American up and not out. The Italian OF
1880 forced the Irishman up; and the Ital-
ian, in turn, If he remain here for perma-
nent citizenship is being forced up by the
successive crowds of immigrants from fur
Their east to an eminence of which his pred
eceSSorS never dreamed.
There are serious objections to unre.
stricted immigration; but they are con-
rected with the difficulty of assimilating as
members of our body polite people whose
civil and moral traditions and language are
different from our own rather than any
evil economic effect which these men will
have upon production and distribution of
the wealth of the country.

MURPHY IS PURIFYING
SMOKING HIS ENEMIES OUT OF
TAMMANY.

According to a telegram from New York.
Charles F. Murphy started in yesterday to
carry out the pans he has been making
with Us friends for weeks past to secure
for himself the undisputed leadership of
the democratic party in the state. Incl
dentaliy he began to fight also in the
op N for the retention of his leadership of
Tammany Hall.
Mr.. Murphy's scheme to make himself
supreme In the state and city democratic
organizations was unfolded yesterday at a
meeting Of the democratic state committee
at the Victoria Hotel. The majority of the
members, obeying the command of Mr..
Murphy, decided to Investigate charges
of irregular.ty made against Senator Pat
rick F. McCarren. the leader of the demo-
cratic organization in Brooklyn, who was
formally accused of directing his followers
to knife Hearst.
McCarren admitted the truth of the
charges and accepted the challenge to at
tempt to read him out of the party. He told
the Murphyites, in effect, that they could
have all the fight they were looking for. Mr..
McCarren served notice that he would fight
through every court in the state If the com
mittee attempted to remove him.
One Of the important developments of the
meeting was the refusal of Maurice Feath-
erSon the state committeeman from the
10th district. to vote for the resolution to
Threw Out Belmont.
One other happening of interest at the
meeting was the throwing out of Perry Bel
mont as the representative from the LIST
district. Mr.. Belmont was not in favor Of
the nomination of Hearst, and at Buffalo
he and his delegates from Nassau and Suf-
folk We're unseated by the Murphy con-
troled committee contested seats.
When the objection to the continuance of
Mr.. Belmont as member of the state COM
mttee was brought up yesterday he failed
to follow the defiant lead of Mr.. McCarren,
and announced that rather than have any
fuss he would get out, and accordingly he
rendered his resignation, which was imme-
diately accepted.
In order to give the plan an appearance
of forcefulness and being animated en-
tirely by desire to punish irregularity it
was resolved to make a play against Nc
Carren. Mr.. Murphy and Mr.. Corners have
known from the time of the Buffalo con-
vention that they would have fight to
maintain control of the committee and have
been aware that almost from the closing
day of the convention a movement was on
foot, having behind it such men as Mayor
Mcclellan of New York. Mayor Adam Of
Buffalo, Edward M. Shepard. Thomas M.
Osborne and John N. Carlisle, for the re-
organization of the democratic party
throughout the state.

BRYAN ENCOURAGED
VIEW OF SITUATION REVEALED
BY ELECTIONS.

A telegram from Lincoln. Neb., says that
VIM. Jennings Bryan last night issued
statement covering his views on the recent
elections. He says. in brief, that the cleo
lions prove that the democratic party Is
getting stronger as republican policies are
developed
The defeat of Mr.. Hearst while great
disappointment to his friends and to the
party. is explained by facts which rob Mr.
Hughes victory of both glory and political
significance.
To have his own state go democratic can
not be gratifying to President Roosevelt.
and to find that his personal attack upon
Mr.. Hearst had little influence on the result
compared with the influence exerted by NC
Carren, Murphy and Croker will not glad
den his Thanksgiving day.
The Presidents personal attack on MI
Hearst was in bad taste, to say the least,
and the failure of that attack to favorably
impress the public ought to be warning
for the future.
The triumph of Hearsts ideas still leaves
him in a position to continue the fight for
the protection of the public against the en-
croachments of predatory wealth.
The democratic gains in Congress have
been sufficient to make it probable that the
democrats will control the Congress to De
elected in 1905
The popular vote as indicated by the con-
gressional elections, shows that the repub-
licans even now have a narrow margin to
go on, and that margin will be quickly
wiped out If the President allows himself
to be drawn into a race for third term.
In conclusion. he says:
Presidents Personality.
1.-THE republicans have had an effective
campaign cry in standing by the Pres
ident' While the record showed that the
democrats in the Senate and the House
stood by the President better than the re-
publicans, the admirers of the President
very naturally gave weight to his appeal
for a republican Congress- although in max
ing the appeal the President put personal
victory above the reforms which he had
been advocating.
Two years from now that appeal will be
of no avail. for the President will not be
in office after March 4. 1908. Even If he
were candidate, which no friend of his
can assume after his repeated declarations,
he would have to confront the third-term
issue, and who would say that that issue
alone would not lose the President enough
votes to make his race hopeless? The pop
ular vote as indicated by the congressional
elections shows that the republicans even
now have a narrow margin to go on, and
that margin will be quickly wiped out II
the President allows himself to be drawn
into a race for a third term"
