irregularities and departures from the
law discovered by U.S."
New Workers will not be in any degree
surprised to find that Borough President
Haffen has used his Office for political
purposes 1t is nowadays fully expected
that municipal executive or subordinate
shall utilize his opportunities. Other
wise there would be no such thing as
maintaining the organization. There
could be no favoring of the stanch and
true adherents of party or faction. There
could be no rewards in the shape of fat
contracts. RENTED penalties. patronage.
sinecures and other perquisites such as
are held dangling before the eyes Of the
faithful at election time.
Some time ago Gov. Hughes. upon rep
reservations by the commissioners of &C
counts. removed Borough President Ahern
from his office, and the board OF alder
men of Greater New York promptly re-
elected him to his old place. in defiance
not merely of the governor of an opposite
political faith but of the self-respecting
citizens Of the metropolis This fragrant
illustration of partisan municipal govern
ment in its most evil aspect is now re-
called in view of the possibility that the
governor may find in the report just
filed grounds for dismissing Borough
President Haffen. and that the board of
aldermen may deem it essential. in order
to uphold the precepts of party manage
ment. to re-elect Mr.. Haffen to his former
position.
II is possible. however, that in the case
of Mr. Haffen the courts may find ground
for removing him to a sphere of enforced
inactivity for a period, so that the board
of aldermen might be somewhat embar-
raised should it desire to demonstrate its
affection for so true supporter of the
principle that public office is a political
snap. Judging from the summaries of the
report of the commissioners which have
been sent forth from New York. Mr..
Haffen worked his Office for all that it
was worth and little more. and was not

The business interests of New York
will some day probably realize not merely
the shame but the business imprudence
of retaining the corrupt political system
as the means of municipal administration.
A dollar is not highly rated in that big
town. to be sure. and even a million dol
lars is small sum in some proportions of
public expenditure. But when it is dem
onstrated that the leaks in the organiza-
ton let public funds flow into private
pockets at the rate of several million
dollars year 1t would seem that the
business sense of a community that prides
itself upon it's shrewdness. its ability to
drive a bargain and its sense of values
would ultimately set about the task of
cleaning out an administrative system
that has within a few months produced
such scandals as Borough President
Ahern's dismissal and reelection. OF

Government by Injunction. +"

From the New York World.
Government by injunction is a mean
ingless mouth filling term which has held
high place in Mr.. Bryan's political vo-
cabulary for the last dozen years. A
writ of injunction is undoubtedly govern
ment; SO is a writ of mandamus or a
writ of habeas corpus; SO is an indict-
ment, or a judges charge, or the verdict
of a jury or the granting of an appeal
Every official action OF court Is gov
eminent. Every official action Of com
mon council, legislature or Congress Is
government. Every official action Of a
mayor, a governor or a President is
government. When Mr.. Bryan rails
against government by injunction it Is
doubtful If he himself has a definite. CO.
herent idea of what he Is trying to say.
Certainly there is nothing definite or CO.
herent in his attack on the so-called in
junction plank in the republican platform
for all that Mr.. Bryan is finally able &c
evolve from his criticisms is that this is
the treatment received by the wage
earners from the national convention and
republican party

Taft on the Presidency.

In signed article to appear this week,
extracts from which are given to the daily
! press in advance. Judge Taft expresses
! himself TO the presidency and indi-
J Gates in general terms his own line in the
office in case of his election.
I It is fortunate for the country that the
+ republican candidate has played so prom
inent part in molding the policies to
! which his party is committed and which
f, 81 elected he must carry forward. and
fortunate for him that he has had four
t.Xears of intimate observation of the work
j. inss OF an office the duties of which are
( cXactine to the last degree Judge Taft
gin the White House therefore will be no
stranger daZzled by new and strong
lights. but one who knows his way
around. and is familiar with the things
That will come to his attention. In
word he should from the start show the
AGILITY of old hand at the bellows.
This sentiment is forcibly expressed:
The President duties clearly outlined
by the Constitution, have grown broader
in their Interpretation with the growth OF
the country. He should be in the prime of
years, health and yigor. The capacity for
hard work is better equipment than
genius in mastering the essentials of all
The departments of the government and
undergoing the strain of countless inter-
views.
Genius has been defined as the capacity
for hard work and for the taking of in
finite pains. There is work and to spare
for any President to do. and by address,
ing himself to it with all his might the
man at the helm develops all the facul-
Ties for the transaction of business he
may possess. And success SO obtained is
hot Hn,
Judge Taft rightly says that the Presi-
dent lin many senses, is the loneliest
man in the United States" The statement
is not new. but 1t is very true All the
men who have served in the White House
have had that experience. Some have
complained of it. Mr.. Mckinley was of
= nature DESTROYS of conference, and able
to digest advice to the general advantage.
Not that he lacked initiative or individual
lily. but because he had great breadth Of
view and knew the value of outside sug-
sestion. Mr.. Cleveland on the other
hand, preferred to work alone and unaid-
ad. And when his disposition stood re-
vealed his party's leaders let him have
his way. The result We all know.
Judge Taft is somewhat of the Mckinley
school. He is a companionable man of
warm feelings. and knows the value of
conference His friends seek his society,
assured of a welcome. If he goes there
= they will follow him to the White House,
- and will not have to wear wraps in mid
summer to protect themselves against
a frosty official atmosphere. Loneliness
is not in the Taft philosophy. and lone
illness will not be much the judges fate
IL he becomes President as it has become
the fate of others who have held the Of

when

When you've crossed the briny ocean;
When you've braved the wind and spray
To acquire some little notion
OF the people far away,
Though they're odd in face and diction,
AS you pause to look them DER.
You are seized with the conviction
That you've seen them all before.
Solemn Swede and jolly German,
Frenchman. smflingly alert.
Canny Scot with frugal sermon,
Brawny Englishman so curt,
Spaniard fiercely sentimental:
Thrifty Swiss, with mountain lore;
Zen the mystic oriental
We have met them all before.
Past the statue at our portals.
Lifting freedoms light on high
Still they come. these brother mOrtals,
AS they came in days gone by.
Strange the traits they're oft revealing;
Yet, upon the distant shore.
There's the thrill of fellow feeling.
We have met them all before.

Gov. Swanson at Denver.

Mr.. Bryan shows friendship and graft
tude and good judgment in asking Gov
Swanson to second his nomination at
Denver. The two men have known each
other long. and Gov. Swanson was active
in the effort which defeated the Irritation
between Wall street and Senator Daniel

Key to the Future.
From the New York Globe.

The election of Taft means peace and
prosperity. 1t means that the job will
again begin to seek the man instead of
the man the job. II means an end of
harmful wrangling and fair chance for
orderly progress to make Roadway. 1t
means the preservation of all the good
that is in the Roosevelt administratio ion
and the elimination of that which is bad.
1t is not strange. therefore, that as Roose-
welt and anti-Roosevelt republicans sup
ported Secretary Taft before his nOmina-
ton, SO now every faction of the party
each finding abundant reason for Sym
pathy, is ready to salute him.

Next year will see more new

The low price of lumber is stim-

Build now, is the slogan of the
day, and any houses built this year

really two discoveries In the hen
business. II was this way: l have
an old rooster that had been moping
around, around and around; didn't
know what allied him, so ! spoke to
George Austin. who runs quite hen
farm across the street from me.
George came over and told me the
rooster was lousy and that an appli.
cation of lard under his wings would
spell death" to the lice. So / up
and doped him proper. This morn
ing he was as proud as ever; that's
one discovery. The next one was
that needed the next application
of lard to rid myself OF the pesky
things. So you see II is not all
pleasure and profit In the hen biz
particularly, and had better stayed
with the boards a while longer.
Speaking about discoveries. one of
our nearby carpenters, whose name
we will not mention. told me on the
side that he had worked lumber
from four different towns In the
county and discovered that we had
the largest. best assorted, best In
quality stock of lumber in this neck
of the woods. Now that is a pretty !
good statement. but the gentleman
knows what he is talking about, and |
II you don't believe II just try 1t
We would be glad TO have you. You |
know that the proof OF the pudding |
Is in the tasting of II. and when II |
