DEMOCRATIC RULES.

HOSE who wanted to change the rules of
the Democratic party in this county got
something but not SO much as they expected
from the recent special county convention.
The city gains slight increase in the men,
Dershlp OF the county committee, and in the
number OF delegates to the county convention
The old rules were so unfair as TO representa-,
ton on the committee and in the conventions
that there could be no reasonable objection TO
an increase for the city, but the rural delegates
still have control by a good majority of the
county committee and the county convention.
The scheme for direct primaries to select all
the candidates for county Offices failed and the
rural Democrats will control number of the
nominations without question. They also have
chance of winning the nominations that are
made at open primaries. Thus the rural Demo
Gratis who seem to be suspicious of the civ
Democrats hold the upper hand and have
great advantage in the affairs OF the party.

Care Of The Broom

Some people seem to think that a
broom can take care Of itself, but
little intelligent care will make quite
noticeable difference in the work the
broom will do and the length of time il
will wear A broom that is used every
day should be washed once a week and
this is most easily done by preparing
a bucketful Of suds made by dissolving
a tablespoonful Of Gold Dust washing
powder in hot water; dip the broom up
and down In these suds until the straws
hang up to dry If a new broom is
dipped in hot suds before used, the
strawS will be toughened and will not
break SO easily. Do not set the broom
down in a corner after 1t is used, but
hang 1t up.

CARNIVAL OF GRAFT.
ITTSBURG IS the scene OF the most re-
marIable revelations of bribery and graft


markabe revelations of bribery and graft
that the nation has witnessed for many year
Pittsburg has an energetic District-Attorney
who IS seeking to reach the men higher up"
who are supposed to be responsible for the
shocking conditions that have existed in the sec
ond city of Pennsylvania. Captain John Klein,
a former member of Councils confessed that he
had been the "Chancellor of the Exchequer" of
the bribery fund. He had plenty of evidence
against Others but the Distrct-Attorney decided
TO give immunity baths to those who would
come forward and confess. 1t is a novel pro-
cedure, but it has resulted in showing that brib-
cry and grating have hourished on a colossal
scale in Pittsburg. And this demonstration IS
justification of the course of the prosecuting
officer as il may lead 10 the implication Of the
greater offenders
"A number of banks already have been involv-
ed in the confessions, for it is charged that some
of the Councilmen were brbed by these banks
for their votes on the question of selecting de-
positories for the funds of the city.
More than score of present and former mem
bers of Councils have confessed that they sold
their votes for money In fact the Councilmen
have been tumbling over each other in their
eagerness to confess. The crowd sat in the
court room and enjoyed the spectacle of the
Councimen racing to make "clean breast of
it. but the rush was great that one promi-
nent citizen and friend of the people was told
that the authorities did not have time to hear
MS coniession but that he should come around
tomorrow.
One member of Select Council, a physician
made the startling confession that he had got
$1,000 in shoe box OF this sum $4,000 went
to Klein, the Chancellor of the Brbers' Exche-
ouer for the members of Common Council and
the remainder was kept by the physician who
was to FIX the Select Councilmen The con-
trIte Councilmen are from varied occupations
They include professional politicians or friends
OF the people, saloon keepers, physicians private
detectives, market men, tailors, real estate men,
Various were the ways in which the money
distributed. Some had it thrust into their
hands as they were standing in public places
some received it by mail and others had envel-
opes put into their pockets while they were adj
miring adjacent buildings. 1t seems that no
man with satche full Of money appeared on
the scene.
Captain Klein, the chancellor appears how
ever 10 be In hard luck. He has been. sentenced
TO serve three years in the penitentary and he is
taking rap at his attorneys. He said he fol-
lowed the advice OF his lawyer and served
thirty-dav sentence in jail for contempt OF
court de also paid literally for other advice
which he says landed him in Jail.
II the men who received the money are to be
condemned, what must be said OF those persons
holding high positions in the community who
were engaged in the bribery
The revelations in Pittsburg suggest what
might happen in some other cities IL the lii were
htted-in Philadelphia, for example?

GLAD TO SEE MR.. HANDY.

THE Lewes Pilot has queer comment about
\ prominent citizen. 1t says:
Irving Handy was down in Sussex
last week-ust on visit, shaking
hands, and we were all so glad to see
him-to hear his stories and enjoy the
merry moonshine of his jovial, spark
ling personality. We often wonder
whether the Democratic party would
be better off with more like Handy or
less like him.
There should be no doubt about this point.
A thousand sparkling men like Mr.. Handy in
the Democratic party would certainly add to the
gayety of Delaware and to the uproar in Demo-
cratic State Conventions and to the pleasing
things in life in general. We wish there were
more like him, in sunshine as we'll as in moon
shine.

Pledges for the Auditorium.

The committee considered a plan by
which those who formerly pledged $780,
600 toward the auditorium project which
has now been abandoned could be induced
to renew their pledges in favor of the
fund for the memorial building. 1t was
the sense of the committee that at least
100000 OF this amount would be pledged
to the new enterprise.
Considerable interest In the proposed
memorial building is shown throughout
the various government departments, as
the clerks believe that when the me-
mortal building is completed it will at
tract to the capital from time to time
many of their friends from different parts
of the country, who will come here as
delegates to the various conventions that
would meet in the capital If adequate
auditorium accommodations could be OBJ
fidence among the departments in the
success of the enterprise was aroused
when President Taft Endorsed the plan
at the recent meeting Of school childreH
in Continental Memorial Hail.
Among the residents of the District who
are particularly active in the George
Washington Memorial Association are
Mrs Charles d. Walcott and Mrs.
Charles j. Bell, vice presidents; Mrs.
Archibald Hopkins who is one of the trus-
tees; Charles J. Bell, treasurer of the
permanent fund, and DR.. Charles D. Wal
colt and DR.. Thomas Nelson Page, who
are membersof the advisory council. Dr.
George NJ. kober is interesting the sci
entifc men of the city, and Mrs. Ellen
Spencer Mussey has charge of the button
campaign among the school children,
which is practically certain to assure
$4,000 toward the childrens fund, with
which it is proposed to erect one wing
of the building.
Reports from New York and other cities
indicate that they are ready to Coop
crate with Washington toward the erec-
ton of memorial to the first President,
to be used as the scene of the inaugural
ceremonies of future Presidents and as
national convention hall

PLAN OF THE COMMITTEE

INTEREST OF THE SCIENTISTS
Many Pledges for the Auditorium

Renewed for Undertaking.

More than one hundred prominent resi-
dents of the District will soon be active
" engaged in raising subscriptions to the
George Washington memorial fund when
the plans formulated by a special COM
mittee in the Office of former Commits
sioner Mcfarland yesterday evening are
put into effect. The committee which
was appointed at a recent meeting of
representative residents of the District
at the home of Charles J. Bell, where
Mrs Dimock. president of the George

the memorial association, through
Charles J. Bell. trustee of the perma-
nent fund, and the scientific organiza-
tons Of the District. through DR.. George
NJ. Kober.
Larger Committee to Be Named.
name a larger committee consisting of 100
members or more. who would take
charge of raising a substantial sum as
the Districts share of the $2500.OOO
which it is planned to collect from all
parts of the country for. the erection in
this city of a national hall and audito-
rum, which will be not only a memorial
to George Washington, but a gathering
place for national conventions of all
kinds that may wish to meet at the
capital. In order that the building may
be used without charge, it is intended to
use 100000 of the funds as an endoW-
ment TO meet the expenses Of mainte-
nance.
Names of men who might serve on the
larger committee were suggested by each
member of the special committee, and
after the complete list has been COM
piled it will be gone over carefully by
the committee and then made public.
After the larger committee is organized
it is planned to hold public meetings to
discuss methods by which the subscrip-
tons to the memorial fund may be OBJ
tanned from the general public.
This committee will represent especially
the city. and the fund it raises will be
entirely independent Of what has been
pledged by the scientific societies of the
District. Dr. Charles ID. Walcott, secre-
tary of the Smithsonian Institution. and
DIR. George NJ. kober are particularly
active among the representatives of the
scientific organizations who favor the
project Among the societies which are
particularly interested in the memorial
hall are the medical societies of the
District, the Anthropological, Chemical,
Geological societies. About $4,000 has
already been subscribed by the societies
and il is thought that the amount can be
increased to 100000
