CORPORATIONS AND POLITICIANS

M ANY persons have assumed that the gay
Il of the "muckraker' was ended The pub
lie 1t was supposed, had become weary OF his
story. but The testimony of some OF the leadinS
captains of industry-the men in New \ ork VINO
"do thnes"-seems to make it impossible Tor the
"muekraker" to quit his Job. Indeed, the revela-
tions made before the New York grand jury have
caused many of those who have endeavored 10
belittle the efforts of the "muckraker' to cease
defending the interests.
In his testimony before the grand jury, MI
Nreeland of the Metropolitan Traction Com
pany, cyncally disclosed the connection OF his
company with the politicians Mr.. Nreeland de-
clared he had found that these things Qarge dis
bursements in cash to the politicans) were es-
teemed of value Large sums of money, he tes-
tifcd went to Odell, the Republican leader, and
to Murphy, the Tammany leader Then, when
applications were made for permits TO open
streets for which authority had been denied, op-
position would suddenly vanish.
Gathered from Mr. Nreelands testimony was
the implication that his company the Metropoh-
tan. followed the course pursued by similar pub
lie service and other corporations. 1t does not
appear however, that the Metropolitan managers
made >rous efforts to resist the exactions OF the
political blackmailers. Probably the managers
thought it was better to submit than to night.
And on the other hand, some corporations doubt
less initiated the system of bribery.
The fault is on both sides, the politicians who
hold up the corporations and the corporations
that submit TO being held up.
Thoughtful men in cities should call halt on
these methods Of extortion. No politician would
think of blsclmailing individual and it would
be a weak individual who would submit to their
exactons if eNtortion were attempted. However,
II we are TO have reform in this matter, such re-
form must come from the captains of industry
and the leaders of public thought If the cap
tains of industry would firmly stand against the
extortionists, the crooked politicians would be
routed. When threatened with resistance or eX-
posure, nothing is more timd than political
crook.

HuaHEs ANp THE RACE rRAcKs.

GOVERNOR HUGHES, of New York, is
- pegging away at the race track gamblers
OF his State. In effort 10 change the defeat of
his anti-race track bills into victory, the COVER
nor has called a special session of the Legisla-
ture. In the meantime the governor and other
prominent men of New York are holding meet
ings, hoping that public sentiment will be
aroused so that the enormity of the race track
evil will be fully appreciated. The governor may
be delayed in his fight, but he will win in the end.
1t is suspected that the firm stand of the gov
ernor on this and other matters, which attitude
has earned for him the enmity of certain groups
OF politicians, has had something to do with the
setback of the Hughes presidential boom. The
truth is that Governor Hughes has not been
worrying about his political career but has been
performing his present duties unconcerned
whether his administration is pleasing or other

purchase from them are sure to get something
for their money
1t is almost an axiom that real estate is about
the safest and best investment Money invested
in property, such as is offered by these develop
ment companies, is certain to bring the purchaser
reward-that is unless the city absolutely stops
growing, which of course, is unthnkable.
1t needs little argument to prove to the man
who has money to invest that the safest thing to
do with it is to put it in land. Real estate cannot
get away from you 1t does not vanish as do
stocks IN many concerns that rake in the money
OF the people and give them pretty bits of paper
and promises in return. Therefore, those who
are conservatively inclined, want something for
their money, should pay heed to the claims of the

investor. And these are times in which sure Sc

should it be proved by actual test of the ballot

Clellan, who have resisted every move made by
Hearst to determine how the mayoralty election

countered so many obstacles in his effort to learn
