1t is eternally to the credit of the
great state Of New York that Governor
Hughes was reelected by such a good
majority. Had he been defeated for
reelection after the splendid record of
reform which he has made and after
his Inequivocal stand for the enforce
ment of law and the highest things in
civic life, it would have been an ever
lasting blot upon the pages of New
York history. The forces against him
were powerful and tireless. but the
great masses of the pepole in the En-
pire state showed that they could be
trusted and the cause of clean govern
ment was given a notable vindication.

The Great Republican Victory.

| INC 0VCdS NCRu0tSou V'SSS'ys
The more complete returns of Tues
days election substantiate the pre-
dictions of a sweeping Republican vic
tory which was indicated in the early
hours of Tuesday evening. Probably
never before in the political history Of
the country was the result of the presi,
Dental election SO clearly removed
from doubt in the public mind through
out the country so soon after the clos
ing of the polls. This was due in part
to the system of collecting and spread
ing the news which is constantly i'm
proving from year to year as the tele-
graph ana telephone service of the
country is brought nearer to perfec-
ton but more especially was it due to
the proportions of the Republican tri-
umph in New York state, which was
generally regarded as the pivotal COM
monwealth.
When the news was flashed over the
land early Tuesday evening that all the
leading papers of the metropolis con-
coded Taft's election there remained no
and from that hour onward it was sim
ply question of the details of the vic
tory These details simply emphasize
the triumph of Taft and the thorough
ness of the manner in which the people
of the country for the third time re-
pudiated Bryan and Organism. Every
body knew there would be shrinkage
in the West of the abnormal Roosevelt
majcrities of four years ago and so
there is nothing unexpected or signifi-
cant IN the fact that the Republicans
carried Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michi-
gan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Kansas and
other states by smaller margins than
in 1894.
On the other hand. the increased Re
pubicans here in New England and in
New York and New Jersey were not
looked for by the most optimistic Re-
publicans. Massachusetts, in partcu-
lar did itself proud along with the EN-
prc. State, while there is glory enough
to go around among the so-called
doubtful states. Missouri, which was
swings back to the Democratic column
by a small margin. Henceforth that
great commonwealth is to be good
fighting ground, and beyond question
it's tendency is more and more toward
RepublicanisIn. The other border
states, Kentucky, Tennessee and Viz
ginia, remain with the solid South, but
their allegiance is less ard less secure
ard the good results of the Taft cam
paiSn in that section are easily discern
idle
There is nothing to mar the splendid
triumph of Taft and Sherman. From
east to west, from New England TO The
Pacific slope, it is the same story of
great 1tepuDIcdn mdJOflt1eS, ana once
more Tie American people have put
the emphatic stamp Of their approval
upon Republican candidates and Re-
ublican policies. The next Congress,
to, will be strongly Republican,; in
fact 1T is likely to be even more strong
ly Republican than the present Con-
gress, although the Democracy built
grcss than upon clecting Bryan. The
whole election in all it's phases was an
eloquent answer to Bryan's question,

The crane part is made with an up

in diameter at the base, with an iron
band and iron pivot pin at the base;
pivot pin should be IA by II inches
or larger
This mast supports a boom pole 33
feet long. five inches in diameter at
small, upper end. 1t should be bolted
to top of mast, II feet from the butt.
The top should be about 80 feet from
the ground when in position. This
boom pole should be supported by a
pair Of long poles for the top and a
pair Of shorter poles at the butt as
braces The butts of these braces
should be bolted to the mast at about
the center, as shown in diagram. A
pulley should be hung at each end OF
the boom pole.
The base of the supporting frame
work should be of two poles about
eight inches in diameter and Is feet

should be Is or Is feet apart Near

HAVE NO CHANCE FOR GOSSIP.
One Argument in Defense OF Reserve
OF City Life.

There is much to be said Of the
custom prevailing In large cities, the
Indifference with which families re-
gard each other They may live with
only thin wall as a separation, and
never know their neighbors by sight.
1t is heartless, in way, to have no
knowledge of misfortune which one
might relieve, but 1t is rather agree
able to be able to live as one pleases
with the certainty that prying eyes
are not taking stock of economies and
habits. 1t is almost impossible to be-
gin system of retrenchment in a
town or neighborhood where there are
keen eyes to inspect every movement
and sharp tongues to discuss each dis
cOvery. So we have families always
living beyond their means because
they have not the moral courage to ad-
vertise their true financial condition.
1t is not wise to take the public into
ones confidence. When it becomes
necessary to give up a home 1t lessons
the chances of recovering from Pc
cuniary losses to allow the neighbor-
hood to discuss the matter with certain
knowledge. graceful retreat can
generally be managed save in gossip
ing places, and even there silence is
much better than confession

in diameter should be bolted, also
heavy cross stick across the center
10 or IL inches in diameter. The up
right mast is pivoted to the center of
this stick, forming the lower bearing.
The upper bearing should be about IL
feet higher, made of a platform, four
feet square, of plank two or three
inches thick This is supported by
posts. about five inches in diameter,
the base of the posts bolted or toe
nailed to the sled runner, near each
end of runner and about Ia feet apart.
The tops of the posts support the up
per platform of plank. The center
of the platform is cut out to receive
the revolving upright mast forming
the upper bearing. 1t is better to pro-
tect the mast at this place by a thin
steel plate about to IL inches or
larger also it Is better to have two
plates at bottoms of mast with holes
for the pivot pin in center of the

New York, Sept. 15.-Secretary
Harry Munford, of the newly organ
ized White Rats Political League, de-

'Rfdicule candidate In your gags,
said he, "and you will lose him more
votes than all the speeches in the
country. Nothing kills quicker than
ridicule."
Resolutions were adopted at the
meeting urging actors all over the
country to exercise their too-often ne
elected right of suffrage and the ten
or of the speeches made were that
the members Of the profession could
by uniting become q political power
and gain redress from managers and
booking agents for various grievances.
Wilton Lackaye was cheered when
he denounced the new booking sys-
tenn and described the efNorts being
made by the White Rats, Of which the
league is an auxiliary, to obtain q
new copyright law to prevent phono-
graph companies from appropriating
theatrical songs and jokes without
payment of royalties.
Dennis F. O'Brien, counsel Of the
White Rats, Assemblyman w. B. Don
ihee, William Mailly, editor OF the
Socialist daily paper, the Evening Call
and others made speeches. "".
