The New York Democrats.

Certain well known New York dem.
ocrats have decided to hold meeting al
Saratoga next month to take counsel look.
ing to the betterment of their party in the
state. Its present condition mortif1es them
Without power or credit. 1t limps along
like cripple. and is reflection on Its
ce,robust self. They would set 1t Arm
ly onsits pins again, and give 1t a leader
ship suggestive OF it's better days.
A worthy ambition. but confronted with
many difficulties. Let us examine one OF
them.
No boss or prominent oficeholder is to
be invited. Charles F. Murphy and
"Fingy" >Conners are ruled out under the
former head. and Mayor Mcclellan and
Senator NcCarren' under the latter.
And yet,without the assistance of Muir.
ply and Corners and McCarren what
could any democrat tic organiza ton in New
York state hope to accomplish? What
would it matter how intellectual and
respectable the new leadership might be
if the rank and file, trained under the
present,leadership, refused to follow? AL.
though they have made sad mess OF
things and brought the party to it's loves,
estate, the boss of Tammany Hall, the
boss of Brooklyn and Chairman Corners
still control whatever iremains of democ.
racy in the state. They are practica
politicians, and, under pressure, revenge.
full.
We shall probably have, as the result
Of the Saratoga meeting we'll expressed
address to the public-assort Of platform
But what power. what influence, does q
platform now carry? For nearly five
months two national platforms have beer
under a raking fire. with the whole coun-
try at attention. One-the Chicago plat
form-was construed up arld down and
across. while the other-the. Denver plat
form-was openly fiouted. Men who had
helped draw and adopt it,. and had sup
ported Mr.. Bryan on It. voted in Con-
gress against its express provisions.
So what will a mere address of men
without party authority amount to?
What heed will the independent voters
pay to it when they ,know that at most
1t represents but the. aspirations of its
signers?
Still, in so far as thee meeting will pro-
woke discussion, it Is to be welcomed.
Since David B. Hills, retirement-and he
was broken down by Tammany Hall-the
New York democrats4have had no leader
worthy of the name. They have expert
mented with several men, but disas-
trously. and today are reduced to the
level OF Murphy, McCarren and Corners
q trio spelling ward boss-ship and all
that follows in its. wake.

The White House.

A disposition appears in the dispatches
from Beverly. Mass, to refer to that
chance summer capital in full terms of
distinction as the temporary seat of gov
eminent. For instance one of the New
York papers today in it's Beverly budget
contained the following:
The first caller at the White House
today was Col. Rufus n. Elwell of Exeter,
n. H.
There is only one White House and that
is in the city of Washington, d. c. 1t is
called the White House to distinguish it
as the home of the President. the place
where the executive business of the ma
ton is conferred where the government is
administered and where the chief excu-
tive performs those social functions which
are incidental to his office The White
House" is not a movable proposition. 1t
is not an intangible institution, an en-
vironment Of the Presidents person. 1t
is not the place where he happens to be
temporarily or for considerable period.
Until the seat of government is moved
from this District the White House will
remain permanently for three hundred
and sixty-five days OF every year right
at the same spot on the map where it has
been for more than a century.
II the loose phraseology employed in the
dispatch quoted above is to be tolera ted
there would be a White House wher-
ever the President might be in the course
of his frequent journeyings about the
country. His private car in the course of
his long tour planned for this fall would
be White House" Any hotel or pri-
waite residence chosen for his temporary
shelter would be White House. There
would be as many White Houses" az
overnight stops, almost as many indeed as
there are "Washington's headquarters.
1t is from no sense of local pride. but for
the preservation of the true meaning OF
an historic and institutional name that
this protest is entered against the DISPOSE
ton to transplant the White House To
any nook or corner in the United States
where the President may be for few
minutes.

Pulls and Principles.

From the Columbus Ohio State Journal.
1t is reported there are to be more
dismissals for hazing at West Point. The
abuse is said to have increased, because
former cases were condoned and the
guilty ones pardoned. There was no
doubt about the guilt, or the justice Of
the penalties imposed, but personal con-
siderations got in their work, and the
shameful sway of political pull over
spread the situation and favoritism push
ed principle aside. Discipline was treated
as mere rubbish by higher authority, and
SO there is more and more hazing, and
it will continue until discipline asks who
he Is and not what he is. This personal
mcture in our government has grown
to be an abomination. 1t is contrary to
the spirit of our institutions; it is a
stab at equal rights; it is making fish
of one and fowl of another. and it breaks
out in various forms, from condoning a
hazing scrape to buying an automobile
for a Vice President. They are all
symptoms of the same unrepublican ten
dency.

Democratic Hopes.
From the New York World.

The case Of democracy generally is not
desperate. Few fear that Organism will
seek fourth defeat. None can have
failed to note the advance made by the
democratic position In 1903 over 1900 and
1896. Democracy is not a mob: it is still
an army. Moreover. 1t has generals
Twenty-Five of the forty-six states have

who gave Taft. Roosevelt and Mckinley
heavy majorities. OF the pivotal states
Indiana was barely saved for Taft, while
electing q democratic governor and legis-
lature, and New York for some years
has been kept precariously republican in
state issues by the despicable leadership
of such men as Murphy, McCarren and
Corners.

Forbes. acting governor general of the
Philippines, in his .cable to the President
on the subject of the tariff legislation
affecting the Philippines, says:
The obstacles to Philippine prosperity
are now removed, and we, your repre-
sentatives here, will try to do our part
greatest advantage to the Filipinos.'
Mr. Forbes and his colleagues are not
the representatives of the President. but
of the United States government. Good
feeling over the long desired legislation,
and haste in expressing it, probably ex-
plain the slip. But slip it was.

Cold weather seems to contract or tighten

You think your truss is helping you.

Carter Howe Five Registers
444, and Another Team
4z7-RolIing Good.

n OUIS J. VAN NESS, of the Carter
Howe team, set a new mark of
100 in the STAR head-pin tour
nament last night. The Carter-Howe
team accumulated a total of 444, which
is the best in the way of a team mark
this season. The H. r. Worthington
five Tailed 427. which is the second
best team total to date.
AS the STAR tournament progresses
the class of bowling is becoming higher
and the worlds record mark of 545. to
the credit of the Roseville A. A. big
Five" may yet be passed.
Van Ness's big mark came in the first
match last night, and il represented q
fine bit of bowling. He filled well in
nearly ever frame and had 81 in the
tenth frame, Everybody expected that
he would pass the century mark in the
next frame. but his hit was not quite
as clean as 1t had been earlier in the
game and but seven pins went down.
This gave him a total of 80, and it was
up to him to hit the head-pin the next
time. He was given plenty of room
and lots of time. and he put the bali
right in the pocket for a strike and a
score of 100.
GfuenllnS, VINO leo OIL lOf the carter
Howe team, went along nicely until
the eleventh frame. and then a miss
put him out of it. He got nine pins in
the twelfth frame and totaled IS. Most
of his teammates did well. Victor
Fessc hit the head-pin in each box but
one and scored 81. He filled poorly sew
eral times, however. and would only
have had 81 had he made a strike in
the seventh frame. when he missed,
thus showing that it is possible to miss
getting one of those fobs offered by the
STAR to those who reach or pass the
century mark. even when good hits
are made in every frame.
The H. r. Worthington five went on
the alleys last, with the Carnegie Steel
Company five. The quintet had very
few misses. Oscar Rusty had only one
error and tailed 81. Jack Port got %.
with one miss. Demel. of the
Krementz team. was another near
winner. He had 80 in the twelfth
frame. a miss in the sixth box being
costly.
