&MGEas5 - I'LL ACnEN 0s
In giving the result Of the school
election last week we explained the
overwhelming defeat Of one ticket
on the ground that the issues that
the candidates represented, and
the arguments put forth by their
friends in their support, were I'M
popular. We said that the candi-
dates 30 defeated were all respect
ed citizens, and that their defeat
could not be considered as any re-
Election upon them personally. IL
appears that our friend VIM. Behl,
who was one of the defeated can
didates, takes exception to this ar
gument and comes back at US
through the columns of the Jour.
nal, charging that our article was
"a reflection on the character of
the men on the ticket" We are
not disposed to argue this point
with Mr.. Behl. The facts are that
Mr.. Behl received Sc votes while
his opponent received 24O, nearly
three to me-. Why was this One
of two things must be true. Either
the issue which MI. Behl was be-
lieved to represent was unpopular
or else he al personally unpop-
ular. He resents our claim that it
was the issue, and if he prefers to
take the other alternative we shall
not contradict him. However, in
justice to the other members of the
defeated ticket we shall still insist
that their defeat was due not to
their personal unpopularity, but
to the argument put forth by their
supporters, that if elected these
candidates would cut down the ex-
pense of running the schools, and
the manner in which they claimed
this could be done was unpopular
with the voters. We did not say
and do not now, that the candi-
dates themselves sanctioned all O!
the arguments put forth by their
supporters, but the arguments
were made and had their effect.

a scramble, for no man can be SO
good or perfect that foul charges will
not BE- ourg or manufactured All
inte.ss centers on one or two Offices,
and other important OFFICES are ig-
nored. Take for instance that Of
comptroller, an office of more impOr-
lance than that Of United States sen
atOr, yet with three candidates, more
than ten thousand democrats did not
vote for any candidate for that Of
fee. and thirteen thousand failed TO
vote or the office of attorney general.
It can by no means be called the
popular expression of the wishes Of
the people, and at best, / believe that
in a vast majority of those who vote
in them, it is only a choice of evils cr
rather "undesirables." because good
men whom they would like to support
do not or can not qualify as candi-
dates. For instance, some of the can
didates | voted for in the primary
would not support were / delegate
in a convention. because I could get
up and nominate men of my person

men.
I think we have sufficiently tried 1t.

vantage is with the former in many
respects. W. W. CLYATT.

FROM FLORIDA To new YORK
LOCKED UP IN A FREIGHT GAR

The New York World says that the
medical staff OF the Lincoln hospital
at One Hundred and Forty-first street,
the Bronx, has a patient of whom it is
proud He is Chester A. O'Connell of
Bath Beach. He is twenty-five years
old an is i'll with typhoid fever in a
virulent form. The doctors agree
that he will not die because he came
to them after a seven days ride in
freight car, with neither food nor
water. Compared to that experience,
they say, his typhoid is merely an ep-
isolde.
O'Connell is a machinist, with an
iron constitution, and a rowing dispo-
sition. Last winter, work being slack
in his native Brooklyn, he betOok him.
self south for the season. He travelled
by easy stage, principally on the
trucks Of freight cars, and about the
first of the year brought up at Jack
sOnville, Fla, where he found steady
employment and a climate that ap-
pealed to him.

Journey of Torture Begins

On May 81 he decided to leave
there, so went to a freight yard and
inquired about train schedules. He
learned that train to his liking would
leave in three hours. In the emean-
time, with a night ride on the
bumpers" he decided to sleep.
He looked about and found a refrig-
orator car full of potatoes with an in
viting open door. He entered it and
finding it cool and comfortable. he
stretched himself on the floor and
slept. The car had a refrigerator in
stalled at one end, and except for a
gangway partitioned off by heavy wire
screening, was other wise full of po-
tatOes.
When O'Connell awOke he found
himself locked in, the car pitch dark
and the train moving. Concluding the
train might make a run for a few
hours, perhaps a day. he lay down
and slept some more. When he awak-
ened the train was still moving and
ne was hungry.
O'COnnell began to lose track Of
time from then on. There was not a
ray of light in the car. all the food
there was, raw potatoes, was on the
other side of a stout wire partition
that he could not break down. Water,
there was none.

as prohibition was not the question
under consideration; it was the aboli-
tiOn of state primaries, and | thought
the charges he made as to the open
and brazen corruption of voters in
the primary a good reason why it
should be abolished. After we shall
have banished rum from our shores.
We will have rid ourselves only of the
lesser evil We would still have the
railroads, and Mr.. Bitch says that
their influence was more potent than
the whiskey influence in this open
and brazen corruption What are we
TO do about 1t? In order 10 purify
politics, shall we sweep the railroads
from the borders of our fair state

Now, would it not be easier to elm

O'Connelrs recollection of his long
and horrible ride before he finally be-
held daylight again is a blue relieved
by worries OF tortures.
Sounds That Agonized Him
Sometimes the train stopped, and
the imprisoned man could tell that he
was in a city or in the country. Often
he was tortured by the sound of
bra&emen running over the top of his
car, by the voices of passengers on
platforms. and, worst of all, by the
plash OF water gushing from water
tanks.
Sometimes, for hours, there would
be nothing but the roar of the train,
numbering, with caterpillar slowness.
it seemed to O'Connell, over endless
leagues of track. Generally, though
in kind of stupor, he was dimly con-
sciOus of being alive and of wondering
why he continued to live.
O'COnnell had a knife. and with it,
occasionally, he was able to obtain
minute pieces of potato through the
wire mesh. These he sucked to their
last globule of moisture, and then
swallowed in little bites. When he
was not spearing at potatoes he was
lying in half delirium on the floor
The car in which O'COnnell was
locked got to Jersey City on June z
in the morning. O'COnnell did not
know where he was nor care. He was
aroused by the beat of waves and the
sensation of sailing and knew that his
car had been put aboard a boat. Long
afterwards, in the dark, men entered
his car with lanterns.
The men were freight handlers at
the Hudson river freight yard. One

man, that babbled in Eighty sentences
and whose hands and feet were a mass
of bruises and open wounds. He had
come by them, they learned later, by
beating and kicking at the walls of
his car prison.
O'COnnell told his story four days
after he reached the Lincoln hospital.
O'COnneI says that he is not going
to die-that he is ging to live to get

stay there.
