Murphy and the Recount.

1t has been said that one of the signs OF
greatness is the ability of a man to change
his mind upon a question of public i'm
portance. If this is true, then Charles
Murphy of New York, leader of Tammany
is a great man. He changes his mind with
the ease and freedom Of a sage to whom
all the secrets of existence are revealed
Here is the latest instance. as told in the
form of a newspaper interview with him on
the subject of the proposed recount of the
votes cast in 1905 for the mayoralty of New
York
Asked if the Tammany members of the
legislature would vote for a recount bill,
Mr.. Murphy said: II don't see why they
shouldn't. l don't see any reason why
there should not be a recount"
But you didn't reason like that after the
1908 election it was suggested.
NO, l didn't reason like that then, but
/ don't see any reason now why there
should not be a recount Mr. Murphy re-
piled.
Why split hairs in the face of facts?
Murphy knows what the public knows,
and reasoning is at a discount. To him a
recount and replacing of Mcclellan by
Hearst now will mean the attainment of
perfect political happiness. Compared with
such felicity mere consistency is a positive
vice.

More "Machine-Made" Music.

A newly devised apparatus for producing
music by the synthesis Of electrical vibra-
tons has just been exhibited in New York,
demonstrating in a measure little short of
marvellous that we are just on the thresh-
old OF electrical development. BY means
OF this machine, or series OF machines, every
known musical sound can be produced The
notes Of a plano or an organ, a flute a
horn or clarionet may be initiated per-
fectly, and in some cases with even a more
satisfactory quality than when the instru-
ment itself is played upon by skilled per-
former The main advantage, however of
this device over the direct human produc-
ton of musical notes is that the selections
can be transmitted by means OF wires to
long distances and reproduced by instru-
ments similar to the telephone.
Indeed. plans are under way to establish
central music factories, with exchanges

and subscribers. probably in connection
with the already existing telephone cir
cults. so that subscribers may at stated
hours obtain the benefit of concerts of high
grade. 1t is believed that this introduction
of classical music of the finest quality into
the homes of the people will have morally
beneficial influence.
In this connection it is recalled ,lat Ed
ward Bellamy, in his Looking Backward,
twenty years ago outlined this very system
of transmitting music by wire to the homes
of city, predicting that it would come
contemplated only that music made by
man himself would be sent over the tele-
phone wires, whereas in the case of the new
device now in evidence the music is &C
tualy produced by a combination of VI
brations created by batteries of differently
attuned dynamos. These dynamos yield cur
rents of varying intensity and the perform
merely draws them into combination,
first by turning switches that assemble the
tones that represent a particular instru-
ment or combination of instruments, and
then by playing on a keyboard to summon
forth those tones in musical succession.
1t is altogether likely that in time the
intervention of the human performer at the
keyboard will be dispensed with, the ma
chine requiring merely the services of en-
gineers in the dynamo room and switch
tender in the central music ROOM

"One of the most remarkable cases of

City Hospital today. Doctors say that the

yesterday at the age Of eleven years and
two months. was at least sixty years Of
age at the time Of his birth, so far as con-
ditions of the vital organs determine the
age of man. When the child was six years
old his hair began to turn gray, his eye

Young Old Age.

Philosophers have often contended that
time exists only in the human mind and
that age is merely relative condition.
There are cases In common knowledge
that support t,-s theory. We often hear
of a young old man." and also of an "old
young man" We say of this one that he
was never a boy" meaning that he was
always adult in his mind and disposition
Again we say OF another that he never
grew up" meaning that he had not ma

found who are grave. and thoughtful from
infancy and who walk through life as

Bids for the Canal Work.

With as little ceremony as that observed
in the case of a naval cruiser. the govern
ment yesterday opened bids for the work OF
digging the Panama canal The occasion
was historic however, in that its results
will have vital bearing upon the world
political and commercial advancement. This
Is the day of big undertakings and there
is nothing bigger now in hand than the dig
ging of ditch through the isthmus which
will unite the oceans and save time and
money In the transport of goods
The plan of letting out the work to con-
tractors has been adopted after careful
consideration. The canal commissions has
apparently safeguarded the government
from loss. delay and embarrassment by the
stipulation of conditions which have borne
the test of practical application in other
lines. There is nothing especially novel in
this work. when it is viewed at close range.
1t is on an enormous scale, and involves a
vast sum of money. But that 1t is practi-
cable is not today doubted by men who
consider 1t honestly, without prejudice.
The only factor that can possibly cause
any manner or degree of failure in the
canal enterprise is selfish obstruction in
this country. The interests that fought the
canal project for many years are still hope
II may be regarded as assured that they
will never cease their opposition Objec-
lions to this and that feature or plan will
be raised from time to time The sanitary
difficulties will be exaggerated. The labor
question will be exploited. The engineering
problems will be magnifed. Already the
feasibility of constructing the great Gatun
dam, to impound the waters of the Chagres
river and provide an artificial lake in mid
route TO facilitate transportation, has been
brought into question in the Senate.
But that the canal will be completed In a
reasonable time and at a reasonable cost
is not today doubted by any American who
sees the case without bias and who reads
the literature OF the isthmian enterprise.
The mistakes Of France are our guide and
we have. as an additional advantage, the
benefit OF an efficient organization of
forces and a vastly improved mechanical
equipment. The canal will be dug and 1t
will serve in the centuries to come as a
token OF the enterprise and ability of the
United States.

In a way Mr.. Williams takes CHEEKY
view of things. His p1 ogram Is the Vot-
ing down of Mr. BryanS railroad views
by the democratic national convention,
and the nomination of Mr.. Bryan on

ceptable to the candidate He seems not
to doubt that the peerless leader could
thus be separated from his latest hoppS'
and be induced to exert himself for VIC
tory on lines of the rartys, rather imam
OF his own, choosing.
Taking the country by and large, there
has been little from which to gauge senti-
ment in the democratic party on this rail-
road question since Mr.. Bryan on his return
from abroad raised it. The protests were
immediate and vigorous. But they came
from a few leaders. Mr.. Williams was OF
the number and he spoke forctbly. Inc
rank and file have not yet declared chem-
selves. and seem either to have the matter
still under consideration. or to be awaiting
an appropriate time for utterance.
AS for Mr.. Bryan himself, while he is not
pressing his proposition with an evangei-
lists fervor. he has not weakened. His tone
IL confident, and even a little lofty. He re-
grets that his party is behind the times
and hopes to see it catch up. He is busy
on the lecture platform, now here now
there, and in that way is holding the atten-
ton of the people. 1t was thus that he
prepared himself for the democratic ma
tlonal convention of 1896, when silver was

wide as a lecturer, and when he mounted
the stage at the convention to make the
speech which threw that body into raptures

nearing at the next national convention as

Tom johnson in Dual Role.

In a dispatch from Cleveland announcing
the gubernatorial ambition of Tom john
son appears this statement:
"Johnson's program for his political
future, 1t was gathered from what ne
said, is to be elected governor of Ohio
and force through the Legislature meas
ures which will give cities absolute nome
rule in matters of government and IN the
This accomplished he would resign the
gubernatorial Office and stand once more as
a candidate for mayor of Cleveland.
In other words, Mr.. Johnson. for the
time, would combine the offices of executive
and legislator. and be the whole thing In
the state of Ohio. And yet the executive
department and the law-making depart
ment are just as distinct. and intended to
be just as Independent of each other, in
state as in national affairs. Neither should
invade the domain of the other, and when
either offends in that way 1t should be
rebuked
If Mr.. Johnson were in the governors
chair he could force measures through the
legislature only by one means. He could
send for members, and play either upon
their vanity with soft words, or upon their
ambition or cupidity by means of patron
age With many good things at his dis
posal he could make it worth an amiable
and aspiring legislators while to support
his policies. Patronage exerts a great in
fluence over some men, and in the hands
of a dispenser entirely shrewd 1t is mightier
than cash. 1t has figured conspicuously in
the congressional legislation of the past
twenty years, and done service probably in
every state legislature in the country.
And yet what is this but a violation in
spirit of the conditions upon which our
state governments and our national govern
ment are organized. We elect a Congress
and state legislatures to make laws, and
a President and governors to execute them.
Where a President or governor there
fore, hampers with Congress or legis-
lature by using the influence and patronage
of his Office to force measures through
which otherwise would not be accepted,
what does he become but lobbyist? What
is he in effect but an invader of the
domain Of another department of the gov
eminent, which should remain as free from
his touch as he from its?
If Mr.. Johnson's plans are correctly re-
ported they cheaper both the Office Of gov
ernor and that Of state legislator. He
would use the governorship only for lobby
ing purposes and then cast 1t aside and
make Of the legislature for the time merely
the registrar of his official will. The old
arrangement-that is to say, the arrange
ment designed by the fathers-is better
than this, and should prevail, not only in
Ohio, but everywhere. Let the legislator
legislate and the executive execute, and let
each fellow shiny on his own side

Peace.

Whether the war of 1870 was the civil
war, the war between the states" or 'the
war of the rebellion" 1t Is over, and every
body is glad of 1t. Fridays talk in the
Senate on the subject showed how in state
of high brotherhood men who were on oppo-
site sides in the great struggle may now dis
cuss it. Mr.. Scotts story was worthy Of
the reception 1t met with. If the father
fought against the old nag, the son forty
years later fought for it, and In death the

and time is not likely to disturb it. The
Spanish war was a small one, but it was
fought in a good cause, and its effect upon
our national sentiment will long survive.

The Monkey.

1t has been said of the monkey that he
has almost human intelligence. This may
be true. because it is possible that some
monkeys are so stupid as to deserve the re-
proach. AS a rule, though. 1t might be
fairer to say that some men have almost
simian intelligence.
Mankind is too prone to judge the mon
key by specimens on exhibition in the ZOOS.
One should remember that these poor mon
keys are prisoners. 1t would be just as
unfair for a monkey to examine the speci-
mems Of man at Sing Sing, Auburn,
MOundSville. etc, and then jump to a con-
clusion as to all mankind. Not that the
poor men at Sing Sing. Auburn, Mounds
Vile, etc.. are any worse than millions who
are not there! By no means. Some men
have not been found out.
But, somehow. a man In Jail does not
look his best. 1t may be that the stripes are
too wide, or that they do not run in the right
direction to be becoming.
So it is hardly to be expected that jail
bird monkeys should appear as the fairest
of their kind. Jailbird monkeys are not
true convicts. They never have been found
guilty of any other offense than that of
being born monkeys. and. of course. they
could not help this. If every man were
sent to Jail for the same thing the rock
pile would be rapidly reduced
To prove the intelligence of the monkey
it is only necessary to submit this cable
