BL EYE FOR REFORM
Refo End Fusion Parties Defeated

The elections held Tuesday show
that Rfbde Island and Massachusetts
have slected republican governors.
NewsYorll City has elected the dem
oeratic candidate, Judge William j..
Gaynor, 10 the office of mayor, while
in Philadelphia the efforts of the re-
formers to break the republican organ
ization Ave failed.
In New Jersey the republicans held
their own everywhere.
TOM Johnson, democrat, has beer
defeated as mayor of Cleveland, Ohio.
The latest returns from San Fran
cisco indicate that Francis j. Heney,
democrat, has been defeated for dis
triet attorney.
Virginia elected democratic gov
ernor.
In Maryland the paramount issue
was the so-called Acknowledgement
amendment, designed to eliminate the
negro as a political factor The re-
turns of the state came in slowly and
the result is still uncertain, but the
indications are that the amendment
has been defeated.
In Indiana the republicans scored
several important victories, particular
ly in indianapolis, where Samuel L.
Shank, republican, was elected mayor,
and the entire republican ticket re-
elected.
The republicans carried Massachu-
sets by the narrowest margin in tie
history of the Bay State for nearly a

tany elected another mayor of
Greaee. New York in the person of
Judge Gaynor, democrat, but the or
ganization lost it's grip on the city fl
nances. The republican-fusion forces
will control absolutely the Board of
Estimates. In addition the republican
fusionists elected Charles S. Whitman
district attorney of New York county,
and practically all other candidates
on the city and county tickets.
In Pennsylvania the chief interest
centered in the battle waged in Phila-
delphia, where the reformers endeav-
ored in vain to break the power
of the local republican organization.
Samuel P Rotan was elected district
attorney on the republican ticket by
a surprisingly large majority. On the
state ticket the republicans elected
the state treasurer, the auditor gen
eral and judge of the supreme
court.
In Cleveland, Tom L. Johnson, dem
ocratic mayor for four terms, was de-
feated for fifth term by Herman c.
Baehr. In conceding his defeat Mr.
Johnson, who advocated a system of
equal taxation, announced that he
would be candidate for mayor two
years hence.
New Jersey elected eight members
of the state senate and a full house of
sixty members of the assembly. The
republicans will again control both
houses.
New York state elected an assembly
that will show a republican majority
of about thirty-eight.

FEDERAL ICE PLANT.

The proposition of Franklin
MacVeah. one of the quasi-demo-
cratic members of President
Taft's cabinet to establish a
federal ice plant in Washington
and to make the ice needed for
use in all the big offices ofEsthe
government is one which should
command the approval ofa Jail
who favor an economical admins
tration.
Secretary McVeah sets forth
that this department uses-a ton
of ice every twenty-four hours in
the water coolers of his depart
ment, that the department has
been paying S7.65 "a ton to pri-
vate dealers for its supply of rsice
that now he can secure ice from
the government plant which
supplies the Post Office Depart
ment for 65 cents a ton, a saving
of $500 a day, or approximately
So, 800 a year.
Mr.. McVeah believes the
Post Office ice plant should be
increased so that it can supply
each of the nine government de-
partments. While the amount
used by the various departments
will vary. The Treasury per-
haps furnishes a fair average,
so that would mean for the nine
departments an annual saving of
over $40, 600. Compared with
federal expenses generally that
amount looks small, but it is
only looking to the i~nnumerable
small items that anything like a
large aggregate saving can be
effected.

NEAT TRICK.

A Bornsteel, S. D. d;sraech to
the New York Herald, says:
A last the Sioux Indians have
gone in for politics and so quickly
have they adapted themselves to
the white mans method of run
ming a campaign that in the first
election held in Trip county, a
part of the Sioux reservation re-
Gently opened for settlement, the
Indians worsted the whites and
elected an entire ticket, with the
exception of two white men,
whom the Indians endorsed.
And then, in answer to COM
plants of irregularities" and
threats of the white men to Sc
cure an injunction preventing
the Indian officials elected from
assuming their offices, the willy
Sioux stole another march on
the white man, organized the
county, took the oath of 0ffice,
and ha1 everything in running
order before the white malcon-
contents knew what was up. 1t
was then too late for the whites
to take legal steps, and the red
men are in office and conducting
the affairs Of the county in the
most approved and ur-to-date
manner"
Neat trick for beginners,
wasn't it?

REVISION UPWARD.

MIlOlUN VI HhllD.
1t is becoming daily more evil
dent that if this country is ever
to receive genuine revision OF,
the tariff downward it must be
by Democratic majorities in both
houses of Congress. There have
been some concessions but
they have been chiefly of an in
consequential character and IN
schedules where they will afford
the consumer little or no relief.
1t is extremely doubtful if a
single commodity will be a.penny
cheaper to the consumer because
of the Republican revision. The
farce of this revision is well IL
Illustrated by the exposure, by a
Republican member of the
Aouse, of the methods adopted
by Speaker Cannon and his allies
to deceive the people into the be-
lief that they were to enjoy an
actual revision downward. Rep
resentative Edwards, a Repub-
lican from Kentucky, in a mo-
ment of anger, betrayed this one
secret of the Republican method
of procedure. Says Mr.. Ed
wards: Those of us who voted
for the House bill with it's free
hides, S1.00 lumber, reduced
duty on coal, reduction in the
cotton schedule, etc., did so with
the distinct understanding that
the rates were to be increased IN
the Senate to a point which
would be satisfactory to our con
stituents. Speaker Cannon him.
self assured US that we neeC
have no fear about voting fol
the bill for the Senate would in
crease all the rates the House
had reduced. Now, if Mr.. Can
non accepts a bill which contains
any Of these reductions it willsbt
distinctly an instant of bad faith
on his part"
The Payne bill was received
by a gulliable public as an evil
dence of sincerity on the part Of
the Republicans, but how insin
cere it was clearly demonstrated
by Representative Edwards ex
pose.

BROKE THE Faith.

Senator Simmons and some of
the other democratic Senators
are complaining about the North
getting the turkey and the South
the turkey-buzzard, so to speak,
IN the tariff revision scheme.
That pledge Of downward re-
vision has been broken and ex--
tortion rampant will continue.
The new bill is said to provide
for higher rates than even the
Dingley Law, in many partlcul-
ars, and the average citizen will
have to foot the bill. Democrats
who went a bow shot further in
their actions than supporting
"a tariff for revenue only are
now charging the majority lea
ders with breaking the faith"
Senetor Simmons recently made
the following statement to some
newspaper correspondents in
Washington:
Senator Simmons said he was
ready to stay here indefinitely
and fight to a finish this measure,
which discriminates so unjustly
against Southern interests. The
Tar Heel Senator is hot in the
collar over the action taken by
the majority with reference to
jute bagging and he intends to
speak on the subject next week.
Senator Simmons said the con-
ferees in receding from the
amendmentsputting cotton bag
ging on the free list and impos-
ing the old Dingley rate, had de-
liberately sacrificed the interests
of the cotton growers of the
South for one jute bagging fac
tory in the district of Represen-
tative Mccall, of Massachusetts,,
who is one of the conferees.
And this action, he said, was
taken by the Senate conferees
after assuring Southern Senators
that they would stand by the
Senate's action in putting this
article on the free list"
The statement of Senator Sim
mons would appear to indicate
that he, with other democrats,
entered into an agreement with
the republican leaders which, if
carried out, would have permit
ted the South to get it's share of
the protected articles. He says
Southern Senators were given
assurances that the increase on
manufactured tobacco would be
eliminated from the bill in con-
ference, tAldrich and his al
lies 'broke the faith" Such a
result might have been expected.
It is a bit surprising that Sena-
tor Simmons could have trusted
his old time enemies to keep
their pledges and if he has been
made victim of their scheme it
is not to his credit to admit hav-
ing been duped in the manner re-
cited. He should have known
they were not sincere. We are
glad to see Senator Simmons on
the war path, even at this stage
of the controversy, and hope he
. and his democratic associates
may succeed in showing the
great masses of the country the
extreme folly of trusting the re-
publican party to keep it's pied
ges.
