A Big Winning.

An interesting news story printed in
yesterdays Star told how Charles W.
Morse. once known as ''the ice king and
recently In evidence as defendant in
criminal prosecution based upon certain
financial Irregularities in New York city.
has in q few months since his release
from prison on ball made $7.5OO. 600
This fortune, which has been applied to
the almost complete extinguishment Of
his debts, has been accumulated by Morse
by means Of stock operations in Wall
street.
This phenomenon of a man making"
an immense fortune within year by
speculation illustrates the economic falla-
cy of the average Wall street transac-
ton. 1T would be more truthful. though
less polite, to say that Morse had accu-
mulated s., 100000 by means of success
full gambling. and that the money which
he has applied to his Indebtedness has
been taken. for no value given in ex-
change. from that impersonal body known
as the public. In other words. Morse has
been playing a game In which he has
won the stakes
Morse has made nothing in accumu-
lating 100000 to his credit at the banks
as result of his successful speculations.
He has added not one penny's worth of
value to the stock of the worlds goods.
He has not increased the efficiency of the
industrial organization to the least ex-
tent. He has not added to the pleasure,
happiness or prosperity Of anybody In
consequence OF his operations-of course
excepting his creditors. The money that

Electric Locomotives.
m the Providence Tribune

From the Providence Tribune.
The report that the Illinois Central Rail.
road Company is preparing to use electric
locomotives in and about its Chicago
terminal on the lake front suggests that
it Is not improbable that motive power
in that form will soon be applied by trans
portation companies at all the more i'm
portant terminals. From the point Of view
of the public, at any rate. there Is much
to be said for the change. In most large
cities the smoke nuisance for which steam
engines are responsible is becoming more
and more intolerable. while the crusade
against noise that has been begun In
many communities makes it reasonable to
suppose that the weight Of popular opin-
ion will be on the side of electricity and
opposed to steam. Furthermore, the ex-
pertinent has resulted in improving the
suburban service of the railroads and
adding to real estate values. 1t Is said
that the increase in passenger traffic on
the so-called short-haul routes has proved
to be very profitable. and although the first
cost of the rolling stock is considerable 1t
has been entirely covered in some in
stances by the receipts from the new ter
ritory that has been opened.

Civic Centers.
From the Denver Municipal Facts.

From the Denver Municipal Facts
1t is a very noticeable fact that nearly
every Denver person who has been abroad
has a favorable word to say in regard
to the proposed Denver civic center. The
reason is quite evident. One Of the most
impressive sights OF nearly all the large
European cities is the many beauty spots
in the very heart of the business dis
tricts devoted to artistic ornamentation.
Monuments. fountains. floral designs.
safety stations. etc, etc. and all are
maintained in the highest degree of
artistic skill. This is especially notice
able in Berlin, Paris, London. Venice.
Rome, Naples. and one might mention
every large city in Europe where land
values are computed by the square foot
instead of front foot. whole blocks are
given over for civic beauty. In London,
said to be the most congested city in
the world. where land in the busiest
business centers has inestimable value.
you will find innumerable small parks
affording a breathing place for the
thousands of the middle and poorer
classes, who for many hours are cooped
up in stuffy tenements or factories. find
refreshing relief and rest in one of these
civic center spots.

The Parsons Charges.

The charges made by Representative
sParsons Of New York respecting what is
known as the Fitzgerald movement In the
contest over the House rules at the be-
ginning Of the extra session will. OF
course, be brought forward in the House
at the coming season. They are specific.
and demand investigation. Presumably
: Mr. Parsons has something in reserve
which he thinks will amply support them.
Mr.. Cannon, in an interview. virtually
accepts Mr.. Parsons challenge. The
story as given is news to him. He reads
in what Mr.. Parsons says desire for a
scrap. and. for his part, he Is ready and
willing to take him on
We may believe that the matter Is not
an invention. 1t does not sound like one.
But to what extent the charges made are
IN exaggeration Of conferences and per-
sonal agreements. and precisely who are
involved, only an investigation can de-
velop. For that reason an investigation
IS in order.
Meanwhile let us note certain facts
which cannot be disputed.
So far as the public was advised at the
time, Mr. Fitzgerald had legitimate chap
ter and verse for the position he took.
under discussion, and he was confessedly
the best parliamentarian on his side of
the chamber. Mr.. Clark. the minority
leader, had himself so complimented him.
Mr.. Fitzgeralds proposition was sound in
itself. and in advocating it he put his
democratic opponents at a great disad-
vantage in the matter of argument. He
and the democrats who followed him had
sense on their side.
II there was a bargain and Tammany
a party to 1t, Tammany did not deliver
its full strength. The dean of the Tam
many delegation. Mr.. Sulzer, opposed Mr..
Fitzgerald both by speech and vote. He
stood with Mr.. Clark. and Influenced
others. How did 1t come about that with
Tammany as republican ally Tam
manys principal figure in the House was
battling against the alliance? Did Mr..
Sulzer defv Mr.. Murphy? Or shall We be
told that Or. Suffers attitude was fea-
ture OF the playa blind? Mr.. Sulzer is
the man to settle this. He knows where
he stood and why. If he defled Mr.. Muir
ply. will the boss renominate him next
Year, If he is renominated will not that
show he did not disobey last spring?
So far as Tammany and Senator McCar-
rem are concerned they are always In the
market ready to do business with any
body ON terms of profit to themselves.
And equally true is 1t that there are
prominent republican leaders in New
York of the same kidney. Bargaining at
Albany is an old game, played more OF
less openly. and often successfully. Let
us have the full story about the transac-
ton Mr.. Parsons refers to, and II there
was skullduggery and the guilty can be
reached, let them be handled without
gloves. either of the Littauer or any other
.pattern.

Mulai Hafd's Nerve.

1t is reported that a delegation Is in
this country representing the Sultan of
Morocco. who hopes to interest the United
States In proposition to guarantee the
stability Of the present Moroccan govern
ment In exchange for the grant of ex-
elusive naval privileges at the port of
Mogador. Just why there is any expecta-
ton at the Moroccan capital that such an
arrangement can be effected does not at
present appear. There must have been
some remarkable representations to the
new sultan. Mulai Hafid. as to the guilt
bility OF the United States and it's readi-
ness to engage in trouble abroad. II
there is one corner of the world where
George Washington's admonition against
foreign entanglements would apply it Is
Morocco. where conditions are perpetually
complexities.
The consideration offered. possession OF
the port Of Mogador. might appeal to the
United States If there were an immediate
prospect of an extension Of American ac-
tivity into the European and African
field. Mogador would be a useful naval
station. but It might easily prove more
Of handicap than an advantage If this
country were SH6dseu III war WIFI OIle
of the larger European powers. Its de-
Tense would entail an altogether dispro-
portionate expenditure Of resources at a
long distance from base
But apart from all such considerati tons
the late news dispatches furnish suf-
ficient reason why the United States can
have no dealings whatever with Mulai
Hafd. The new sultan is not commend
ing himself as a monarch of enlightenment,
progress and humanity. On the contrary
his performances are distinctly distasteful
to the civilized world. II a recent cable

Ell Roghi. the most formidable Of his
rivals for the Moroccan throne. has been
such as to condemn him utterly in the
eyes of the world as monster of cruelty y

Judge Gavnor and the Future.

Gossip that played around the mayoralty
nominations of Mr.. Mcclellan is already
playing around the nomination of Judge
Gaynor. VIII it influence the situation
In this later case as in a measure 1t did
that in the two former cases?
Said Tammany in effect then to the ad-
mirers OF Mr.. Mcclellan and to all the
democrats of New York: 1--WE have a
chance now to put man Of our own in
the White House. Turn in, everybody,
and roll up large majority for the ticket,
and Mcclellan will go to Washington
either by way of Albany, or else straight
from the city hall. The thing to do is
to convince the country that the democ-
racy Is again solid in the old home and
again ready for national leadership.
In the first race Mr.. McClellan's major
ity was substantial, and his future looked
bright. In the second it was very small,
and even that was disputed and trouble
arose. Tammany, still holding out the
presidential lure. wanted to run the city
hall. Mr.. Mcclellan, with his eyes open
ed. refused. In the first place. the lure.
upon close inspection. proved dubious
and, in the second place. Mr.. Mcclellan
would not. because he saw he could not
broke with Mr.. Murphy. saving his per-
sonal character, but losing his immedi-
ate political prospects. His administra-
ton was not mentioned at the Tammany
convention Thursday night, and he will
shortly be politician without office or
following.
Now as to Judge Gaynor. He wants to
be mayor. and is not without thoughts of
Albany and Washington. His friends are
urged to do their best, not only as
respects the election next month. but the
future. The appeal runs something like
this: Let US put him In the city hall
now BY a rousing majority, and then from
that point of advantage improve the Sit
uation. If he should not be available for
next years gubernatorial campaign he
will probably be for the next presidential
campaign. The present Is his chance
and our own. Fifty or seventy-five thou
sand matordty for Gaynor next month
will mean a Gaynor delegation to the
next democratic national convention, and
a distinct move toward restoring New
York to her old place in the party's coun-
ellis"
Let us imagine Judge Gaynor In the
mayors chair. Tammany will call to pay
its respects, and, incidentally. to talk
business. VIII he remember his creator
in the days of his mayoralty youth? Will
he do what Mr.. Mcclellan refused to do?
If he surrenders, and Tammany is per-
mitted to revel in the spoils of the town,
what will become of the reputation o.
Judge Gaynor as man and citizen? If
he turns down Tammany. as Mr.. McClel-
Ian did. what will become of his political
future? Few men have found comfort
between the devil and the deep sea, and
fewer still So placed have ever emerged
from that position either beautiful to be-
hold or influential in after life. A jump
IN either direction has great perils

Pedestrian Tours.
,m the Louisville Courier-Journal.

From the Louisville Ourier-Journa.
Pedestrian tours have been In vogue
for several years and are growing in
popularity. Their object Is a commend
able one and they are promotive o:
health and pleasure. To those who are
keenly alive to the manifold attractions
OF woods and fields walking is delight.
There is no better time for 1t than In
September and October. The air has
just enough of the suggestion of winter
to make 1t agreeable and braclng. Au-
tomobile trips carriage drives and trolley
rides are in large part unsatisfactory to
those who are close students Of nature
and would commune with her visible

pedestrianism are more favorable to lei

then burned while still living furnishes a
reason why. II any foreign Intervention
is effected. it should be for the prompt
suppression Of him who now sits on the
throne, instead Of his Endorsement and
support. Mulai Hafid must have quaint
conception Of the American character II 1t
is true that even while his emissaries are
in this country seeking an alliance he has
committed a crime which, ii the circum-
stances permitted, would rather induce the
United States to take the field for his
prompt and permanent extinguishment.
