An INNOCENT ABROAD.

'Tammany Hall, you know" said Mr.. Gaynor
10 his auditors in the Ciermont Avenue Rink.
"is the local organization over in Manhattan
How clarifying this must have been to his Brook-
Ign auditors. who. according 10 the Christian
jJIrist, had practically never heard Of Tammany
until the recent believing about it. Probably
they thought il was something that had been
discovered by Cook and PeaFy. so much ado has
been raised over 1t of late. How relieved they
must have felt 70 learn that it WAS only the
local organization in Manhattan!
singuarly innocent man is Mr. Gaynor
We had not supposed there lived, even in Brook
lyn, a man so unspoiled of the world as he. He
has kept so far aoof from mundane affairs, so
hedged about with judicial dignity. that he is
utterly ignorant of things political "A cam
'paign manager? What's that? I never heard
of such a thing" he remarked only the other
day. What engaging innocence! ''Tenderloin!
What's that?" he asked OF another with whom
he was talking of a certain restaurant which he
desired TO make campaign issue. "Tenderloin!
What's that?" How perfectly in keeping with
his role as a Statue of Purity! What supernal
innocence! And even SO we can fancy him ask
ing: "Tammany Hall What's that?" And we
can imagine his political cicerone, the Katzen-
jammer editor, explaining to him with much
difficulty that Tammany Hail was "the local
organization in Manhattan"
Now, when. as Mr.. Gaynor says, his critics be-
gan to below Tsmmany Hall at him. his good
neighbors. who had never heard Of Tammany
before. as be himself says, began TO become
anxious and ALARMED. They we're worried lest
something disgraceful had happened TO the
Christian jurist. Accordingly, be reassures
them. why, this Tammany Hail." says he,
that they are all believing about is nothing,
''Dr. Cook never put brass tube under it. It's
"Cnly the local organization over in Manhattan"
Brooklyn, the borough of innocence and auton-
omy, no doubt is eased In its mind. But the
rest of the city-that is TO say. three-fourths Of
twill find it hard to believe that such inno-
cence exists anywhere, and that the candidate
% Tammany does not know that Tammany con-
trolled the convention which nominated him. It
will laugh at him and say that he poses, and
that his pose is too pure even for a Statue Of
Purity

RAYNL THEN AND NOW.

Senator Isidor Rayner is having a hard time
trying to reconcile his opposition 70 the Mary
land suffrage amendment of 1905 with his sup
port of the suffrage amendment of 1909 He
helped TO defeat the former because as be
truly said, it disseminated against the natu-
rallied voter, putting all foreign born citizens
acquiring the right to vote later than 1862
and their descendants in a special inferior cate
CORY and subjecting them TO tests not imposed
on the native born, with special patents of
ancestry or the forei-n born whose natu-
ralzatiOn antedated 1869. In an eloquent ad-
dress TO the people of Maryland in October,
1893. Senator Rayner said:
/ am utterly opposed to this amendment rcith
the strongest c0nrtctiORs of niH life against the
principles that IL embodtes and believe that its
adoption would bind the chains OF politicsl
knell Of our political hopes and aspirations in
Maryland and would be as great calamity as
could possibly be inflicted upon our people.
What were the principles" which the amend
ment embodied to which the Senator so strongly
objected? Primarily he condemned it because
it Disseminated against the naturalized white
voters OF Baltimore. He had then as he has
now. no objection TO the dsfranchsement OF
negro voters. He refused TO assent to the Poe
German scheme because it put the stamp of
inferiority on at least thirty thousand foreign
born electors in his home city AS he we'll
stated, the amendment created new political
crime-'the crime Of not being born on Amer
lean soil" II is true that the new amendment
relieves the disabilities Of the foreign born
naturalized up TO 1909 But it enforces against
aliens who may enter after 1909 the former OBJ
noKious discrimination. They cannot become
first class citizens, but must be content TO earn
| by special effort the franchise which goes free
70 other whites II the amendment Of 1908
! created political crime-that OF being born on
foreign soil-the amendment of 1903 also Gre
ates il. Not so many individuals will be at
fected, but the principle Of equality of status
and opportunity is just as plainly violated
lr Rayner protests that he is now. as he was
il 1905 opposed TO Know -Nothingisnn. He still
processes great concern for the naturalized citi-
zeL, but he is giving his aid TO Q scheme which
viii pur on aliens naturalized after 1909 bur-
ders which he formerly declared 10 be cruel
and outrageous when put on persons naturalized
after 1863. He is driven TO support the amend
ment on grounds of expediency and 10 argue
that the number Of whites injuriously Effected
by it will be small in comparison with the
whole white electorate. Naturally he is plagued
by his earlier assertion that the question was
one Of principle, not of eXpediency. As a
champion Of equal rights and anti Know Moth
inGism he cuts & sorry figure arguing that
KnowNothingism should not be objected TO if
administered in moderate doses.

Nor has the civil service been neglected In
the work of reform. Some time ago we de-

in which that service, especially at CONSTANT

of undisturbed tenure during good behavior and

THE PRESIDENTS NEW OFFICES.

Reports from Washington announce that the
addition to the White House Office building is
nearing completion and will be finished by the
time the President returns to the national capi-
tai To those who have visited the Presidential
offices the fact that they have been doubled in
size and made commensurate with the demands
on them will be a source of satisfaction. The
original building was far from adequate, was al
ways uncomfortaEly crowded when the Presi-
dent was in his Office and contained some ar
rangementS which were ludicrously inappro-
pirate.
To an Executive less gifted than Mr. Roose-
velt with the ability to transact business and
hold receptions under unpropitiouS circum.
stances, the original Office building would have
presented serious trials as it too often did TO
those who sought the President The spectacle
was not uncommon of every chair filed in both
the anteroom and the Cabinet room while many
stood as the President passed from one to the
other shaking hands and often discussing i'm
poTtant matters; or OF a congestion which more
than once actually compelled the President to
take hand in order TO straighten things OUT
