The Removal Of Ahearn.

Gov. Hughes of New York has ordered
the removal from Office Of John F. Ahearn,
president of the borough Of Manhattan,
for neglect of duty. This action, which
was expected, in view Of the plain EVIL
dence that the administration of Ahearn
had been grossly incapable. If not corrupt,
has given rise to much gossip. indicating
a disposition on the part Of the sachems
of Tammany Hall to turn little political
trick Of an entirely characteristic sort. It
is proposed that Ahearn accept his pun
ishment without appealing to the courts
in which enterprise he would be practi-
cally certain to fail-and then for the
board Of aldermen Of Greater New York,
which is controlled by Tammany with the
assistance of Independence League votes,
to elect him as his own successor. It Is
argued that there is nothing in the law
to prevent the move, dismissal from Of
fee not barring a man from ever again
holding Office.
Such an action would be not merely q
distinct slap at the governor, but It would
show Tammany's utter disregard for pub
lie sentiment. Indeed, public sentiment
does not exist in the world ruled over by
the sachems. They do know, 1t is true.
that the time sometimes comes when It is
dangerous to tread too sharply on the
public's toes. They do know that occa-
sionally the people cry for help when the
business Of transferring cash from the
pockets Of the taxpayers to those Of the
heelers is conducted too greedily and braz-
emily. But they do not know what pub
lie sentiment means. If they want their
man in Office they put him in. by fair
means If possible. in order to preserve the
semblance Of order: by other means. II
necessary.
The president of the borough has at his
disposal practically all of the patronage
of the city. The removed Official was
thoroughly trusted by Tammany to do his
work properly, to provide a maximum Of
places for the faithful. He was trained
to his job. 1t was unfortunate that while
he was doing his full duty by Tammany
somebody noticed that he was neglecting
the business Of the city, leaving streets
unpaved, and otherwise causing incon-
venience and loss to individual citizens.
From the Tammany standpoint Ahearn
neglected no duty, the governor to the con-
trary, Notwithstanding. It Is simply an
other case Of differing views Of the same
question.

The Boys Toys.
From the Columbus Sun

Patriotism is a commendable trait of
character in the youth Of our country but
city offlcials, city physicians and parents
as we'll have learned that the toy pistol is
not necessary to celebrate the Fourth of
July. For in the trail Of the toy pistol
comes the dreaded tetanus to claim its
annual list Of bright American boys. The
toy pistol has practically been relegated
to oblivion on account Of the danger at
tending its use. 1t Is to be hoped that
the air gun will soon follow in its wake.
for the death list due to this seemingly
harmless toy increases daily, and in a
manner that Is appalling.

Ohio.

Mr.. Feraker's proposition for primary
in Ohio is fair, and should be accepted.
The primary is the thing nowadays. We
settle as many questions as possible by
means of 1t. If Ohio is for Judge Taft
for President, as asserted by the Taft
boomers, the fact may be ascertained In
that way; If for Mr.. Foraker the same
may be said. And why not an early date?
The sooner the contest is over the sooner
the country will know Ohio's choice, and
the sooner the Ohio republicans will be
able to adjust themselves to the decision.
The situation in the state is anything
but comfortable for the republicans, and
unless properly treated. powerful as they
have been for years, it may get beyond
their control.

TO the public daily from today until
Tuesday, December "a. inclusive.
Among sculptors Kemeys not only oc-
cupied an hOnored place. bur a posi-
tion peculiarly his own. 1t cannot be
said that his work was greatly in
fiuenced by the work Of other artists In
his medium Not only was his ability
of selection one that marked a strong
personality. but in his power OF ex-
preston ne departed to a marked degree
from well-beaten paths followed closely
by other sculptors, In order to know
intimately the wild animals selected as
themes for his art. he lived IN the coun-
try OF the big game, and studied
seriously and humanely the wild ami
mails until ne could work from a
knowledge possessed by but Few stu
dents of our American animals,
In his Interpretation no worked broad
ly and cared more for masses than for
abundant detail. In his compositions he
evinced a desire 70 portray the milder
rather than the ferocious temperament
OF his wild models In his study he
found hkable. and sometimes humorous
qualities in his models. he was looking
for the best rather than the worst
side OF his subjects.

two recent works which show his YER
satility in widely separated fields Of art
The most ambitious OF the two pic.
lures IS that Of the Madonna and Child
In this the artist has departed from
the conventionelized treatment of this
religious picture. The composition
shows the mother with the Christ child
at sunrise upon the housetop. The child
supported by the mother IS standing
upon the parapet. With outstretched
hands he sc ems to be greeting the ris-
ing sun, while IN the expression Of the
eyes IS seen that lningling OF the human
and divine as II seeing beyond the ris-
ing of the sun that power controlling
distance are seen the surrounding hills
OF Nazareth. In the draperies the Gus
toms OF the country, and in the faces
Of the Madonna and Child the charac-
terisucs of the Semetic race are easily
seen. The subject, while out Of the
ordinary. is marked In its sincere To
lgious treatment
Mr.. Heaton's other plcture-a portrait
OF Miss Diana NOTtCn-Is a work which
leaves but little 20 be desired in the
direction OF a portrait Of a personal
character. The sitter. a beautiful wO-
man, has Jared well at the hands Of
this artist, and yet the WORK has a de-
gree OF realism which leads one TO be-
lieve that there has been no attempt
at hattery. II is a case where a sitter
with charming personality has found
an appreciative artist, and in the grace
ful pose, the large hat the dark even
ing gown, the luxurious furs, and the
well-selected background. are happily
united a picture which would attract
attention among a large collection Of
portraits OF beautiful women.
