The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1909-11-02

NEW YORK, Nov 2.-That Judge
Gaynor will be elected mayor by
5000. with Hearst second and Ban
nard third, is the prophecy of the
political wiseacres on tOday's NUM-
apparently beaten and Tammany's
county and borough ticket will evil
reports from the polling places indi-
Gates that the Hearst vote will be
only about so per cent of what it was
four years ago. Hearst polled 224,O00
votes at that time, but his vote today
is not likely to much exceed 100000 in
the entire city.
The prospects are not encouraging
for Moore and Calvin, the democratic
candidates for comptroller and presi-
dent of the board of aldermen respect
lively. 1t is admitted today that it will
be a record breaking feat if they are
elected over the combined vote of the
tickets headed by Hearst and Ban
nard
The Importance of todays election
in Greater New York may be better
understood by the statement that the
officers elected today will spend dur
ing the next four years no less than a
billion dollars of taxpayers money.
The big interest in today's election
of course centers on the mayor. That
official has many important appoint
ments to make, such as Corporation
counsel. commissioners of the dock,
police. fire, health, charities, water
supply, gas and electricity, tax ac-
counts and other departments. The
patronage of the mayors office is far
greater than that of the governor of
New York state.
The comptroller, too, has many ap-
pointive places to hand out. The Bor-
ough presidents are important to the
political leaders, as the recent inves-

vNcepI TO the supreme
Court. This is to make the Hepburn
rate bill effective. He will point out.
that the five judges, having no other
business before them, can not only
expedite legislation, but naturally
will become rate experts.
There will be also a recommended
ton of a tribunal that will pass on
how many bonds and how many
shares of stock every interstate rail-
road may issue, to prevent the water
ing of stock. AT one time the FRESH
dent said: This is important, be-
cause when you water stock you only
do it to deceive people and get them
to pay more than the stock is worth"
Further, Mr.. Taft said, it is wrong
because it builds a false foundation
on which to reckon what reasonable
freight rates are.
To further expedite the work of
making railroads obey the law, the
President will recommend a reorgani-
cation of the Bureau of Corporations,
the Interstate Commerce Commission
and the Department of Justice that
the three may work progressively and
not be stumbling over one another,
as they are under the present sys-
ten. But the PRESIDENT will make it
clear that he is not attacking corpor-
ations that work legitimately. His
" expression on that subject is:
I'VE could not get along without
corporations. They are a necessary
instrument in the business of the
country. But as we give them priVil-
eyes,, so they must recognize the re-
sponsibility with which they exercise
power, and we must have the means
of compelling them to recognize that
responsibility and to keep them with
in the law"
The President will recommend an
amendment to the antitrust law that
he thinks will make it effective. The
present terms are so broad that in his
mind it is not enforceable, as it makes
no distinction between a reasonable
and an restraint Of trade
Ia difference that is recognized by
the common law. He will recommend
that the law be amended to narrow
and conine it to combinations and
conspiracies to suppress competition
and establish monopolies, ard to leave
out the denunciations of general re-
straints of trade. He will not recon-
mend that labor unions be specifically

Answer to Question How to Get Them
Appropriate the Money and
Spend it Intelligently.
Mr.. NJ. L. shipman, commissioner
of Labor and Printing, North Caro-.
lima, addressed the Good Roads Con
gress recently held in Asheville, in
the following clear and pointed sug-
gestions, which we pr:at in full as
helpful in the great campaign Of "a.
cation ng this line as a basis OF
o. -ued progress and develop.
i.Mr. President and gentlemen:
The object of this meeting has
been clearly and tersely stated: How
can We obtain good roads in the
Southern Appalachian Mountains:
TO this the obvious answers are:
Iipye the will to get them; get the
money to build them; spend the mon
ey right. These things mean, OF
.fcoa-se, the collective will, the con-
certed action, the unselfish purpose
OIL the WuOie peoPiS.
Idle ideal without education. The
first step therefore is to preach, to
demonstrate, to insist; to advertise
and illustrate; to repeat and and re-
~iterate. There will be need too o.
tact, need of craftsmanship, need OF
PATIENCE. The instruction must be
concrete, in words of n syllable, in
examples of dollars and cents. Before
the collective impulse is obtained,
there will have to be individual con-
victicn-conviction and conversion,
too. of a people who are strong IN
the tenacity with which they cling to
old ways, cautious before they are
led to accept new doctrines. There
will have to be a propaganda OF
unity among a people prone to diff

ify of conception and construction.
Once the state Isl as thoroughly com
mitted to the principle of good roads
as the people are to good scho- Is.
there will pe at once the end Of
hazard method and ill-deined p-~-.
fhe old religious conception OF the
moral advantage Of arough and mar
row" way has been relegated finally
to the realm OF allegory, That is
where 1t belongs. Facflis descensus
averni" may have once been rue. Our
aim now ought to be to make the way
to market equally broad and equally
smooth. It is to IAN industrial and
commercial haven that we must look
FOR the broadcast measure Of moral
expansion. The road that is narrow
ls now the road preferred by vice
and stunned by virtue. The church
and the school house seek the high
sway. Heretofore, the very vital need
En-ch every resident of our country
districts has felt for improved higa-
ways has, in sense, contributed
through Jealousy and contention to
postpone and hamper the good work.
Who OF us has mot ,sickened at the
spectacle of county wrargies over
road %routes2 Who, If he has ever
yielded so far to ambition as to sit
on a county board, has not prayed
feryently to be delivered? Or, if he
has been merely spectator Of their
troubles and an auditor Of the abuse
and scandal heaped upon their de-
fe s.eless heads, has not, taken sat
i -action IN the thought that his trou-
lbles, at lee t, were not complicated
by the laudable desire to shoulder
those OF, his friends and neighbors?
From the very nature of the case, the
county unit is too small IN one to
permit OF the proper mapping Of even
Its own roads.
Individual Work
However wen the work nay be
done in the individual county-and
there are braltGat taxamples-it must
inevitably, IL performed with sole re-
gard for such a unit, not only result
in discord and lamertable dissension.
but it must also fail Of it's best OPP
'portunity, in scope, in purpose and in.
progressive economy. What we need,
therefore, in these comparatively
cmaller counties OF the west, is a sys-
tenn Of road building, declared upon
and endorsed by the state, which will
aid the county In its work, while at
