NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
Why Senator Allison Twice
Refused to Enter Cabinet
BY "HOIIand."
BY "HOlIand."

William B. Allison, the great Iowan.
who was elected TO the United States
Senate In 1872 and remained therein
until his death In 1908. was twice Of
fered the treasury portfolio and twice
refused IL. The first offer was made
to him by President-elect James A.
Garfield, the second by President-elect
Benjamin Harrison. Each was ex-
tremely anxious that Senator Allison
should consent TO head the Treasury
Department, and each, when the Sena-
tor decided against accepting the Of
fer, made the late William Window
secretary of the treasury coinci-
dence that is probably unique i'm the
history Of American cabinet building.
When Senator Allison was asked bv
Harrison TO become his secretary of
treasury, the Iowan was not tempted
TO any extent to discard his toga. al
though Harrison was most anxious
that Allison should accept and did
everything possible consistent with
his official dignity to let Allison
know in what high regard he held
him. both personally and as a public
servant. But Allison's frame of mind
was far different when Garfield urged
him TO fill the same post in his cabi-
net.
Allison was never so put to It TO
make a decision, he afterwards con-
fessed. Until only a day or two be-
fore Garfield's inauguration he tried
In vain to reach a decision. He was
in this puzzling frame of mind when
night came on, and, dismissing all
idea of sleep from his mind, he de-
termined that he would force him
self to decide the question once for
all, Shall enter the cabinet or re-
main in the Senator" There were
great temptations either way. There
was to be a great opportunity for the
new secretary OF the treasury, since
very important refunding operations
we're to be carried on by the govern
ment. On the other hand. the SEN
! ate was sure to be a great field for
political craftsmanship during the
next few years. II was certain that
there would be tariff agitation, and
some important legislation OF n
financial character, relating of a
funding, was to be expected.
All these and other arguments,
pro and con. presented themselves 10
the senator as the night wore on. 1t
got to be midnight and apparently ne
was as far from a decision as he ever
was ia his life One-two-three
o'clock came and went. and still no
decision. The senator was almost in
despair at his inability to decide
which political road to take.
But as the first faint rays OF re-
turning light began to push their way
above the eastern horizon light also
dawned ~ the troubled mind OF the
Iowan. Allison was never given to
seeking advice, but when il became
generally known that he had been
preferred the treasuryship by Gar
field. a friend had gone to him and
said: Senator, in considering this
question, you want to bear in mind
one thing. A cabinet officer, no mat
ter how able. is, after all. no more
than a very high grade clerk FOR the
President. the subordinate executive
of a particular department A sena-
tor is supreme--responsib only to

RECOGNIZE THE PROGREssIvEs.

HE Beverly letter announcing that hereafter
n the Federal patronage in those districts rep
resented by the so-caed insurgents will be given
TO the insurgent senators and congressman is
reversal OF the Presidents policy and practical
confession of the unwisdom of the advice given
by such leaders as Mr.. Cannon and Vice-P President
Sherman.
AS the letter says, the value of patronage in po-
litical campaigns has been too /much exaggerated
The regulars at Washington were evidently con-
WINGED that the western progressives did not rep
resent their constituents and they planned to put
them out of business. The regulars we're com
pletely out of touch with the western situation
They thought that the progressves could be Grip
pied by Withholding patronage, but patronage cuts
only small figure when the people are aroused
The voters are no longer controlled by Office
holders
The action of the President will do much to-
wards healing the breach in the party There is to
be no further unwise attempt TO read any one
out of the party but the vote of every one will be
solicited. The new attitude of the President is
justified by the result of the primary elections,
he thinks and in this he is correct, for the pro-
gressive Republicans in many of the western dis
trcts are in the large majority, be this fact for
good or for evil

Editorial Opinion
Raw Fruit Should BE Washed.

Raw Fruit Should BE Washed.
Springfield Republican.
Washing raw fruit before eating it
is simple precaution, but highly
important as a safeguard to health.
DR.. Dixon. health commission of
Pennsylvania, sounds a timely warn
ing In this regard. He says: There
is no shutting our eyes to the dam
ger Of eating unwashed raw fruit
Food infected with typhoid fever
germs by flies caused many deaths
among our soldiers during the Span
ish-American war. The time and on
ergy necessary 10 wash raw fruit is
a bagatelle alongside OF a case Of
typhoid fever" In many cities the
boards Of health are enforcing regu-
lations requiring dealers In fruits and
other fod products to use glass COW
ers or screens to protect their mcr-
chandise from the disease bearing
flies but this precaution. while conf
mendable, is not entirely sufficient.
The fruit often is exposed to flies and
dust before II reaches the dealer. The
only safeguard is a thorough wash
ing in clean, pure water before eat

PROBLEM OF THE CHILDREN.

Il HE problem which now confronts those who
~ have been conducting Fairgrounds is what
shall they do with the children during the colder
weather after the summer playground season has
ended
One of the Fairgrounds which has been of much
benefit is the Mundy land where Miss Elizabeth
Il. Talley and her assistants have devoted much
time and attention to caring for the children of
he neighborhood. They have done good work as
lose familiar with il will testify. Often as many
IS three hundred children from the neighborhood
have been on this ground, engaging in all sorts of
health giving sports
The ground has been a blessing TO the chill
dren and their parents. The little ones have been
able to slip out for play even for only few
moments at time The playground has cared for
those VINO had no other means of enjoying them
selves 1t took the children from the street and
II relieved the cares of many weary parent.
Mr.. Mundy has been very generous in this mat
ter. He donated the use of the land free to Miss
Talley and her assistants and he has supplied from
time TO time considerable money to equip it,
In view OF the showing that this playground
has made, II is no wonder that many think that the
city ~ ~ - contributed TO the support OF the
work when the city was expending large sums for
ground in the PARKWAY sections which can
not serve the purpose of a playground in the con-
gested part of the city.
A small fraction of the money expended for the
far of properties would have materially assisted
in the work Of the Mundy lot Not OF course
that Mr.. Mundy has said anything about IT, or
has even limited that he did not enjoy carving
the financial burden. So far as we know contri-
butng TO the support of the work has been a real
pleasure to him and perhaps will continue to be.
But the playground season is practically ended,
and what is to become of those children who have
enjoyed it? They cannot afford TO belong to as
sociations or clubs or Y. NJ c. A. The only thing
10 be done is to have gymnasium or club house
which these children use.
The problem of caring for children in cities is
difficult Other cities have it as we'll as Whining
ton. Ii seems TO us that municipal gymnasium in
the section that the Mundy playground has so we'll
served would be the solution The gymnasium or
club house would have an advantage over the or
binary playground even in that it could be used
by the young people during the evenings.

ORIGIN Of Grnsr rifle.

Many suggestions hove been made
TO explain the term Rom or Romani,
applied to the gypsi IS. The last is
that of Leo Winer, in the Journal Ct
the Gypsy Lore Sooiery for April. He
points out that the name is current in
Christian countries only, Europe,
America. and Armenia. From the law
of Charlemague II appears that the
gypsies pretended TO be pilgrims, and
their name WAS usually connected
with that of Rome. Ultimately, he
thinks, Il originated in the Greek
"erimites." a hermit, and that when
the popular etymology connected all
hermits and pilgrims with Rome. all
other terms designating pilgrims were
so transformed as TO bring them in
keeping with this new idea.--Indisn-

DRAWN INTO THE VORTEX.

HE fate of Adolph Rothbarth, the hon mer-
chant OF New York city, who now faces a
long term in the pententiary, is repetition of the
old story. He is a confessed bank swindler hav-
ing victmized banks with fraudulent notes
amounting 10 more than 100000. He blames his
downfall TO the mad pace set by New Workers
and to his desire TO become a millionaire in Wall
street. Rothbarth drags others down with him in
that they suffer heavy losses through his manipu-
lations.
Rothbarths career has been interesting. The
prison is the climax of twenty years of honorable
dealing as the New York agent of foreign firm
But his large compensation was not sufficient He
wished 10 become a millionaire at jump. and he
Was drawn into the vortex Of the stock market
His downfall followed. The unfortunate man now
wants TO go 10 prison for as long a term as posi-
bic. He says that he has lived through hell Of
sleepless nights and that he is glad that the banks
have got him. So closely did he plav his cards
that the banks did not know that he was a swind-
Ter until several days ago. The story of his down.
fall teaches the obvious lesson, but it will probably
be lost upon those whom it should impress.
Every man that engages in wrong doing thinks
that the other fellow and not he will meet the
fate that has overtaken Rothbarth The desire
70 be rich is as old as the rocks The lure of the
dollar is always present. The desire to keep ND
with ones friends, TO make a show" and 10 live
what the rapid world calls life is the chief cause
of all the trouble such as that in which Rothbarth
finds himself. 1t possesses the young, even the
educated young. AT a college commencement last

is admitted by careful Republican observers
- in New York politics that the party, owing to
the factonal fights, is in bad shape in that state
and in danger of overwhelming defeat Even the
staunchest of the Republican newspapers of New
York city declare that the party in Kew York
not win unless il adopts progressive policy with
regard TO state affairs, the chief issue being d.
rect primaries. We think the tange looked az
from every anglers difficult TO unravel. The old
guard and Colonel Roosevelt are at dagger points.
There has been talk that Roosevelt should be
nominated for governor and that the RESPONSE
bility of the campaign should be tossed upon his
broad shoulders but the Colonel is not TO be
caught in such trap.
With Roosevelt the candidate, the old guard
and the conservatives generally in New York would
take delight in rolling up a big majority against
him, and if the old guard is permitted TO manage
things, the opposition TO it will be so great that
defeat is surely foreshadowed by such Republi-
can newspapers as The Evening Mail and the
