Ha6en.

Some time ago Gov. Hughes. acting on
the strength of report made to him
by a special investigator, removed from
ONCE Louis F. Haffen. the president of
the borough of Bronx. New York. on
charges of malfeasance in Office, includ-
ing improprieties In the award Of con-
tracts. in the selection of lands for pub
lie needs and in the employment Of
labor for municipal purposes. The case
was as plain a one as has ever been de-
veloped in the history of municipal mis-
behavior. But Haften's offenses against
public morality were not exceptional.
They were indeed quite typical of the en-
vironment Haffen had merely been
rather more frank In his methods and
had the misfortune to be caught. Con-
sequently there was In a certain circle
in New York moro sympathy for him
than condemnation. The ink was scarce
,ly dry on the governors signature on

Well wait till Congress comes and then
Wen read the salf-same comments

The self-same statesmen speak again.

The Cabinet,

Secretary Dickinson denies the story of
his intended resignation. He has no
thought OF such step. The illness OF
his son and a death in his family were
given as the reason for the contem-
plated action.
A break in tho cabinet now would oc-
casion much gossip, and might operate
lnrfavorably on the Presidents fortunes.
Such a reason as that offered in the
Dickinson rumor would never be accept
ed. The public would insist on seeing
something behind, and that something
with q bearing on politics. Deep dissen-
sion on fundamentals would be alleged,
and widespread party commotion pre-
Aicted.
Mr.. Taft, strong as he Is, needs his
friends. His start as President differs
from that Of his two immediate prede
cessors. He is in the thick of lively
party controversy. whereas at the outset
thfnso were favorable for both Mr. Nc
Kfnley and Mr.. Roosevelt
lake Mr.. Taft, Mr.. Mckinley immedi-
ately after his inauguration called Con-
gress together in extra session to revise
the tariff. But the revision then effected
caused no bitter row among the repub-
iicans. A piece of democratic botchwork
had been set aside for a we'll constructed
measure. and the republicans were we'll
satisfied. So was the country generally.
A sigh Of relief was audible from ocean
to ocean. Mr.. McKinley's only trouble
was over patronage, and that was unes-
capable.
cumstances that brought him the general
~ nd nf oy<vy nd
hts announcement of purpose to con-
tinue the Mckinley policies still further
strengthened him. He fought shy of the
tariff. which should have been revised
and tackled the trusts and the railroads.
which were violating the law. 1t was not
until the campaign of 1904 approached
that a party row arose. That however.
was easily quelled. Any other nomina-
ton than that of Mr.. Roosevelt would
have been SO great blunder that so
shrewd an organization as the republican
party was incapable Of committing it,
Mr.. Taft, on the other hand. started
with a party divided on the most ticklish
Of all Questions-the tarin-and the divi-
sion continues now that revision has
taken place. The se-called insurgents are
still '.insurging." and threatening to undo.
with democratic aid. much Of what has
bsen done. And then there Is the new
turn just given to the controversy over
the House rules, which may afaict the
republicans with another bad quarter OF
m hour.
Mr.. Taft is the leader Of his party. and
e union Is possible must be the unifler.
HIS ONCE gives him much power. and he
has shown ability in using it. But in
order to do his best work in that line he
must have the true and stanch support of
his closest advisers. A break in that cir
Gle would weaken him.

Minister Crane.

II it is true that Minister Cranes pub
tic speeches in this country. before de-
parting for China to represent the United
States at the court Of Picking, contained
lndiscretions which warranted his recall to
Washington on the eve of his sailing, the
Incident may not be without its good
uses. 1t does not signify that Mr.. Crane
will not adequately represent the United
States in China IL his public utterances
have in fact been not altogether wise
Or. diplomatic. This is his first experience
In public life, and he has yet to learn
the knack Of saying something without
saying too much when he faces an audi
ence of sympathetic hearers. Indeed, the
modern diplomat is most successful who
can utter sonorous platitudes with an air
Of solemnity or indulge in witticisms with
out barbs. Nowadays diplomacy Is largely
a matter Of public appearance rather than
private consultation. and many an other
wise useful career in a foreign field has
been checked by exhibitions Of post-pran-
dial enthusiasm. The bearer Of a national
commission as minister or ambassador
cannot afford to loosen his tongue at any
time. Fortunately. in Mr.. Cranes case
his lapses of speech have been mild ones
and only susceptible OF unfayorable inter.
probation by the application of the keenest
onlcial analysis. Furthermore. they were
committed in this country. Unless they
indicate a temperamental inability to talk
pleasantly without indiscretion. they are
Of no special Significance, and perhaps will
serve we'll to enable the State Department
to start the now minister on his way to
Picking with q clearer understanding Of
his limitations and responsibilities. In
these days of news enterprise no man Of
public Importance can hope to say any
thing that is not sooner or later noted and
closely scrutinized. a fact which perhaps
the new minister to China did not fully
realize when he made the speeches which
are now being quoted.

Georgia and Tammanv.

The Georgia members who supported
Mr.. Fitzgerald of New York in the con-
test last spring over the House rules are
under fire at home. Two, Mr.. Livingston
and Mr.. Griggs, are prominent in their
party and In the House. The former is
at the head Of the minority membership
OF the appropriations committee, and the
latter several years ago was chairman
OF the democratic congressional commit
tee. We may believe that they will stand
up to their accusers. and that Georgia
politics. as well as politics at distance,
Will be the livelier for the engagement
Why. it is asked. should these men have
gone to the aid Of the Cannonites? The
charge is that patronage and committee
preferment Influenced them. They wanted
to be solid with the Speaker. and we'll
received when calling at the White House.
Mr.. Livingston is accused of having been
age for his vote.
This, 1t will be seen. extends and COM
plicates the original proposition. 1t brings
the national administration into the mat
ter. Tammany and Senator McCarren
were accused of delivering New York
votes in the House in return for votes at
Albany. Federal patronage was not men
toned. But here Is an allegation Of the
sale Of democratic House votes for fed
eral jobs from a republican administra-
ton.
Tammany is not much disturbed. All
it asks In q trade-and 1t is always ready
for a trade-is q faithful delivery Of goods
bargained for. In this case it got the
goods. That Is to say. the legislation
1t did not want was defeated at Albany
with the aid Of republican votes. The
organization received the benefit of the
transaction.
These Georgia men are accused on
their personal account. If they sold it
was not for the benefit of the democracy
Of Georgia, but for their own beneit.
They were seeking to strengthen their
fences at home with republican assist
ance. Such a charge II sustained would
go hard with a representative from near
ly any state.
But can it be sustained in these
Georgia cases? We shall now have a re-
opening, or at least a retelling, Of the
whole controversy over the House rules
at the extra session. There may have
been some side dealings, both between
the insurgent republicans and the regu-
lar democrats. and between the 1nsur-
gent democrats led by Mr.. Fitzgerald and
the regular republicans. In such a con-
test. with both sides divided, good
deal Of maneuvering goes on. But GER
tain it is that, In the argument, Mr..
Fitzgerald and his democratic followers
put 1t all over the regular democrats,
and gave excellent reasons for the at
titude they had assumed. The PROPOSE
ton they submitted, and which was
adopted, was a valuable contribution to
the order of procedure in the House.

Rats in Scholastic Coi6ures.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.

The DEGREES issued by the sophomores
of Barnard College for the government
Of freshmen, constituting the mild and
ladylike translation of hazing to the
feminine scholastic institution, include an
to wear false hair. We are surprised
that the education of at least a years
duration has not cultivated the sopho-
more perspicacity sufficiently to let II
perceive the recoil of the command. The
meaning of such an edict can only be
that false hair is an exclusive privilege
of the upper classes. Therein the
masculine admirers of the Barnard un-
dergraduates are henceforth advised that
the freshmen's hair is all their own:
and at the same time the capillary glories
OF the higher classes are left under the
distinct suspicion of being articles OF
merchandise.

The Washington Star is the proper

it is an afternoon. or evening, paper
accounts for its sometimes being re-

The Autumn Enchantment.
rom the SprinRheld Republican.

From the Springfield Republican.
Once more the glory Of the year is
accomplished. The harvest Is ripe and
garnered Of all things, tame and wild-or
If any field awaits. 1t is but for brief
reprieve, for the frosts are due and they
linger not long beyond the autumnal chill
which forebodes them. While yet the
clover blooms in the rowen. while yet the
fringed gentian delights in the swale,
while e YET the e, witchnaze.s wrath OF pa Se
woods, while the song-sparrow hesitates
and delays to leave the roadside thicket.
while the hickory retains it's prisoned
fruit for the snatch Of frost, and the
asters and the goldenrods are still beau,
tiful in their harmonies-in this mediary
period comes the rare comfort Of the
whole succession Of the seasons. Oc-
tober is the sole rival of June.
