NEW YORK, May 1s.-At the opening

Kirby jr. made an attack on Samuel
Gompers president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. In the course of his
remarks he said:
.'In ST Matthew We read an illustrative
story in which it is shown that the serv-
ants who improved their talents or in
vested their money with prudence and
wisdom were rewarded. while the sloth-
full servant who buried his talent had to
suffer the consequences of his folly. We
have too many men who would rather rail-
hack and complain about the unequal dis
tribution of wealth than to make an non

School Place to Teach Art.

Americans have been too busy building

said Mr.. Slayden. There has been too
much indifference to art among the peo-
pie. This feeling OF indifference has COM
muncated itself To the members of Com
greSs, vino arc elected by and who rerrc-
sent the people.
If YOU would better conditions. GO

ground is most fallnw.
He declared himself in favor of adj
uniting objects of art into this country
free of duty, and said he hoped the
time would come soon when he would
have hand in revising the tariff so
as TO accomplish this end.
Referring to the present law which
permits the free entry of art objects
twenty or more years old into this
country, Mr.. Sayden said he did not
believe any American artists had sup
ported such a measure.

THE "MACHINE" IN POLITICS.

OODROW WILSON, in his address at Milwaukee last night
WV gave his idea about political organization, and his idea is
not that of a large number of persons who don't believe IN
any kind of party organization. but think that a political party
should be a mob without leaders, taking its inspiration from these
individuals themselves. Governorelect Wilson said that the politi
cal machine IS a direct result of the impossibility of the people as a
whole to give their attention to the business of nominating. SAID
Mr.. Wilson: "The political machine is all right if It selects the best
men for Office, but it too often becomes allied with business interests
and develops into an organization for selfish business ends. The
machines to fear are the business machines, not the pure party ma
chimes" The people of New Jersey found that the party machine
now in power was a business machine and, as far as they were able
10, they kicked it out. But it must be borne in mind that the agency
used for that purpose was the Democratic party machine. a politi-
cal mob could not have prevailed against the cold guard" in the
recent election. 1t would have been beaten by disciplined battalions.
The impOssibihty of the people as a whole to give their attention
TO nominations has been demonstrated every year for many years
in the party primaries. Until a recent date the standing reproach
upon citizens who have the largest stake in government was that
they could not be persuaded to attend the primaries to nominate
candidates for Office. A greatly improved spirit has been created in
that respect by direct primaries, but the success of that system is
very largely due to the party machine, which does all the organizing
and drumming and employs every means to bring unwilling voters
TO the polls.

less the corporation shall obey every
provision of the ordinance, which is
a contract with the citizens of New
ark.
There is another way in which Mr..
Mungle OF any citizen of Newark or the
county or the State, may bring the
managers of the Public Service Corpo-
ration to terms. This way is to ask the
courts to order an investigation to
assertion how the early trolley COM
panies in Newark and the county and
elsewhere were organized, who served
as dummy directors, how much stock
they got for the use of their names
and influence in their localities to get
valuable trolley franchises for the COM
panies. There are men in Newark who
know more of the inside history Of
these transactions than any of the
present officers or employees of Public
Service, and there are %affidavits in ex-
i~stence, with other documents, that
would, if produced in court, cause
Public Service a vast deal of trouble.
