under prosecution in San Francisco what
about the bribers? How soon shall they
appear in the dock. and what punishment
have had both money and pull" No
small sum was necessary to secure all
they secured. Rueff and Schmitz were by
no means cheap or easy" All we know
goes to show that they held out for high
figures. and got them. Who bought? And
what penalty should they pay for the
crime?
1t was only the other day at jamestown
that President Wilson of Princeton Uni
versity spoke the plain and simple truth
about all this business of boodling and law
sending to Jail of one man of business
prominence convicted of employing rascally
means of gaining his ends at the public ex-
pense would be worth as deterrent all
the money fines that could be assessed
against trusts and combinations. Such
words from such source are we'll worth
all consideration. They are not the out
givings of a glib speaker seeking office. or
seeking to increase his attractions as
public entertainer. but of a student of af-
fairs and a scholar who has a reputation
for sobriety of speech to uphold.
Let US see. then, who are to follow Mayor
Schmitz and Abe Ruef to the peniten-
tiary before we congratulate San Francisco
on the new day out there. Not until the
bribers are in neighboring cells to the
bribed may the cleanup be said to be COM
pete and the result permanent.

Mayor Schmitz perhaps thought to stem
the tide of Judge DUNES lecture" when
he stood before him In court in San Fran
cisco and objected to the utterance of scath-
ing words from the bench. II so, he only
accumulated the effectiveness of the scoring
to which he was being subjected His inter
ruptions, followed oy the cheers of the
crowd when the court pronounced the SEN
tence, were distinctly calculated to exploit
to the whole country the fact that the
municipal executive of San Francisco is to-
day held in the deepest contempt by large
portion of the people of his community
Had he remained silent and accepted the
judges rebuke without protest the words
spoken from the bench would not have been
as widely published as they are today The
brazen effrontery of the convicted man, not
merely in trying to stem the tide of the
judicial reproach, but In issuing statement
later announcing that he proposed to stand
for reelection in the fall caps the climax
of his misdeeds. The people of San Fran
cisco well warned now of the kind Of
man who proposes to run again for the
highest municipal office, barring such trifies
as prison doors.

High-Temperature Expedients.

Possibly if you stop talking about the
heat you may forget it. If you do not
think about how hot it is you will not
suffer severely from it. The man who
makes the sun his main topic of CONVEX
sation in summer is that planets chief
victim. 1t is possible to go right ahead
with the daily work, at a moderate pace
and become absorbed in the routine of du-
Ties to the point of ignoring the atmos-
pheric conditions. Take off the coat turn
up the sleeves. turn on the electric fan and
go calmly on with whatever Is to be
done, and the chances are two to one that
the temperature will not affect YOU
The mind plays great part in the sea-

subject OF the days heat it refuses to &C
commodate any other thought Presently

only uncomfortable himself, but he makes

many people were wearing overcoats in the

his crops grow and gives assurance Of an
abundant harvest. Recall the pessimism
of the country little while back when the
mean temperature of the country was too
mean for expression. A little contrasting

Finally, if the heat persists and the day
brings discomfort. pause awhile and look

streets and more feverish hustling than in

Rival Political Claimants.

There really should be a commission ap-
pointed to inquire into the origin of pres
ent day policies Maybe the best answer to
the oft-repeated inquiry. Whittier are We
drifting? would be an authoritative answer
TO the question. Whence have we come? The
widest difference of opinion prevails on
the subject, and some of the claims ad-
vanced are positively startling.
The other day this statement was made:
poliCies-poliCieS of government that l was
advocating when he a civil service
CommIssioner-and is carrying them out to
their logical conclusion, Mr. SulZer said.
II admire him for it. | have been accused

walking my way / do not push him aside.
That is the way 1 feel toward the Presi-
dent. He has adopted the policies of my
party. and | will support him in carrying
them out.
The author of this? 1t is difficult to be-
iieve. but William SulZer Is the man. Think
of IT. The dean of the Tammany delega-
ton in the House. protege of Richard
Croker, and man who lives in the neigh
borhood of Wall street, not only confessing
approval of Theodore Roosevelts course
in the presidency. but claiming to have
pioneered 1t! Either the age of miracles is
not past. or that OF monumental assurance
is at hand At any rate. here is something
TO make everybody sit up and take notice.
For companion piece take this:
President Roosevelt is stepping along in
the right direction. He has brought his
party to the advocacy of the strange doc
trines of political economy whose discus
sion We forced many years ago. The tend
ency of present-day political thought is
along lines in which were pioneers. l

the principles of populsm as enunciated

The author? William Alfred PETER
ex-populist, ex-senator. present-day repub-
Ncan. and, as his deliverance shows. an ad-
mirer and supporter of the President. The
maj who sang in chorus with Mrs. Leese
and Jerry Simpson who succeeded John
James Ingalls, in the Senate of the United
States. and as a member OF that body adj
vocated the full populistic program, is fully
satisfied with affairs as they now are. For
his part. he feels at home again in the re-
publican party. and will not wander more.
Clearly. somebody is mistaken 1t Is in
conceivable that Mr.. Sulzer and Mr.. PEI
fertile one a Tammany democrat. and
the other a Kansas populist-were travelling
the same road without the country suspect
ing 1t. and are now brothers in the
train of Mr.. Roosevelt.
Only a commission can settle the dispute.
Let one be appointed, with authority to
send for persons and papers. with the
patience to listen to stump speeches. with
the desire to get at the facts though
raft of politicians fall, and instructions to
report. not later than May of next year. in
time for the findings to guide the two ma
tional conventions in the shaping of plat
forms and the naming of candidates.

Choosing the Summer Resort.

The hot weather is driving the people
out of town by scores and hundreds.
They are hurrying to seashore. mountain

Washington will soon be several thou

fore the celebration of independence day.
The problem of choosing a summer re-
sort for the family Is not easy to solve.
There are many opportunities for en-
5oying the season away from home. suited
TO all tastes. The proprietors of the re-
sorts have proclaimed the attractions of
their establishments in specific terms,
and the matter Is brought up to the
head of the family in a manner TO cause
him at times to feel the embarrassment
of riches-of opportunity If not of purse.
The Stars resort bureau has been or
ganized to assist it's readers to reach a
decision in this matter of picking out
the resort for the summers outing. 1t

The Ice Plants.

There is some degree of reinsurance in
the statement from the District building
that the authorities have been investigating
the local ice factories since the submission
to them OF the findings of the typhoid fever
commission. and have accomplished some
reforms in methods. There appears how
ever, to be question whether the laws at
present permit a drastic treatment of such
plants as may not measure fully UP to san
itary requirements, and the disclosures of
the commission and the efforts of the local
officials should assuredly lead to a move
next winter to secure legislation covering
such case. 1t is dlsquieting to feel that

The Billboard Nuisance.

From the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
There is not street. nor a public place.
nor a hillside. nor park neighborhood.
nor residence street, nor a business street
in Cincinnati exempt from the nuisance.
From the windows of every schoolhouse in
Cincinnati the children can see the hideous-
ness and the indecences of the billboard.
No church can dismiss Its congregation but
the billboard will stare the congregation in
the face as 1t leaves the portals of the
church. The nuisance is everywhere in all
its completeness. The billboarder, untaxed
and unrestrained. is adding to the nuisance
everywhere and every day-and If the Gin
