AN ELECTION AND A REVOLUTION.

tIFo HE election in the Thirtysecond Congress district IN New
York yesterday was watched by the entire country. by UNI
yersal consent the result was to be accepted as an unfallng
Indication OF Il popular revolt from the policies and acts OF NE
administration aud Congress. 1t was believed that the great he
publican plurality of about 10000 in 1908 would be reduced but
comparatively few looked for a Democratic victory or Il plurality
of nearly six thousand. There is Il remarkable resemblance between
the contest in this district and that which preceded 1t IN the Four
teenth Massachusetts district. where a Republican plurality OF
1ID00 was replaced by a Democratic plurality of nearly 6O0o. The
change was greater in the Massachusetts district. but 1t had less
significance al the time. Both districts were strongly Republican,,
but in the Rochester district the Republican organization was the
stronger. while there was little to boast of i'll the Democratic organi
zation. In point of fact, the result was virtually accomplished out
side of The organization. There was an uprising of voters, WHO
didn't need organization efforts to get them to the polls. They
wanted 10 strike at bad government. and they did so. They wanted
to send a mandate to Washington. and a thunderous one was sent.
They wanted TO be in line with the great popular sentiment of the
country. now so Enthusiastically arTayed against the Influences at
Washington that hold the President in thralI. control the majority
in Congress. and make the peoples representatives deaf to the ap-
peals and circumstances of the people.

sftE WAGE-EARNER IN REVOLT.

RI 7 WAS observed that the greatest change in the vote in the
Thirtysecond Congress district Yesterday was in the working
men wards Of Rochester, where the high prices of necesSaries
are the most severely felt. II would be wonderful, indeed. if there
had been no such change. What can the wageearner think of the
caHous Indifference at Washington that fattens anew the long tariff
fattened trusts that control the necessaries of life, announces that
there shall be no further revision of the tariff. and then. when a
popular clamor arises against The prices of necessarns made inordi-
rately high by that tariff. gets up Il mock investigation of food
prices by the Senate and lets it drag along. The wagecarners of
Rochester hayedhe same feeling as the wageearners all over the
land. 1t is doubtful if at this time there is a congressional dis.
trct in the United States, if an election was held. that would give
a Republican majority.

IT'D LAINFIELD has decided, by Il big majority, to free itself
LIZ from the yoke of a private water company. The city will
take step. TO provide a municipal water supply. The result
Of Yesterdays election means progress. The State has adopted a
fixed policy of conservation Of water supply. which means the
eventual elimination of the private water company. Much is yet to
be done to carry The State policy into effect. and great obstacles
are TO he overcome. chief of which is the private water company.
But the State policy will triumph in the end. In the meantime
municipalities that can see their way clear TO do o should adopt

and a low tariff. The trusts ave been
investigated and the courts ave or
dered them dissolved, and yet the trusts
are stronger today than ever.
Here is the solutions: Let the govern
ment own the railways and the express
companies.
Abolish the so-called exchanges that
gamble in the necessities of life.
All cold storage plants and grain
elevators should be public property.
The great meat packing industry to

TENEMENTS WITHOUT F1PE-EscApEs.

fTD y the burning of a tenement in Jersey City last Friday night
NOD two lives we're sacrificed and four persons were injured.
Others had narrow escapes. The house was of FIVE stories and
il was not equipped with freescapes. as The law provides. Who is
responsible for this death-trap? There are twenty-five tenement
house inspectors. who receive $1,000 each, and the State appropri
ates $f000O annually for the work of the state commission. The
large fcnements are located in a few popuIous cities. and the area
to be covered is therefore not too large for the inspectorial force.
The appropriation seems to be ample. The Tenementhouse Com
mission act has been in operation long enough for the tenement
sections to be thoroughly investigated and mapped out. How many
more four or Ave story tenements are there in our cities that may
serve as death-traps for their occupants?

salyins Living Cost.

To the Editor of the Evening star:
The writer signing himself Meat
Eater is quite correct in stating that
Tie meat boycott is useless. The boy
colt of any foodstuff is worse than
useless. It is suicidal. The continued
boycott of meat would in a short time
impair the strength of the workers,
They would not have the endurance to
work as long or as hard as formerly.
This would tend TO reduce wages. The
price OF meat would not be reduced; II
anything it would be increased. Con-
~seauently the standard of living would
be reduced and the workers would be
in a worse condition than before.
We are rapidly approaching a crisis
In our food supply of which the present
conditions are only a mild f~orerunner,
This country produces enough to feed
all it's Inhabitants and millions of Eu-
ropeans. Yet prices are soaring sky
ward daily. Now, why is this?
A half a dozen men control the pack
ing industry and prescribe the amount
of meat we shall have.
Men like Patten juggle the price Of
wheat and other grains.
The cotton exchange manipulates the
price of raw material.
The railways and express companies
grow fat on excessive rates.
And over all looms the imperial figure
of Morgan, our money emperor.
These groups practically control the
lives of all the people. They have us
at their mercy. Congress and the State
legislatures are their servants. The
courts are ready to do their bidding at
all times. We have had a high tariff

Good Word for Conductors.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
l want to say a word in commenda-
ton of the conductors in the employ of
the Public Service for their interest
taken in passengers during the recent
rainy spell. On several occasions /
noticed the back platform of cars
crowded and not a complaint emanat-
ing from those huddled there. This
crowding was caused by the fore
thought of the conductors, who opened
the car doors Whenever it was pos
sible for another person to board the
car. | noticed that few were com
PEELED to stand and wait in the rain
for another car~to come along. 1t is 3
source of qualification to find that
some conductors are possessed of good
sound sense and their judgment sell
dom gets them in wrong. Yours.

COMMISSIONER SMITHS AGGRESSIVE DEFENSE.

~ COMMISSIONER SMITH. of the State motor vehicle depart
~ ment. makes an elaborate denial of the statements about his
department contained in the report to the Governor by State
Auditor Drake. He charges personal malice, and reflects upon the
motives of the Governor himself. 1t would probably have made
the commissioners excuIpatory statement stronger if it had been
less personal. The reading public will be more interested in his
detailed denials of the charges made in the State auditors report.
Mr.. Smiths statements in regard to the Governor are quite as sus-
ceptib1e of explanation as those which The auditor makes about
Mr.. Smiths department. The management of the department will

respect Commissioner Smith has made some reasonable explanations
in his reply 80 the auditors report.

1t has beer demonstrated by expert
ment at Cornell University that a cigar
can be smoked for e~ighty-flve minutes
before it is consumed. That expert
ment isn't a faneiful one. 1t has its
value IN economics. There are men
who smoke from half a dozen to a
dozen cigars in a day. These men have
been heard to complain of the difficulty
of eking out their household expenses
from their incomes. Rating the value
of a cigar at ten cents. half a dozen
cigars cost sixty cents a day. The
average time for smoking a cigar is.

is about o%ne-third of the maximum as
established by the Cornell experiment.
Consequently If a ms smokes with

third his usual cigar supply. His VeX-

In the matter of soil, MT WoOlsey | is free to admit that that is a great | country, a land of good crops when | everything goes right, but uncertain as to water supply. There was a | long dry spell this year that made people look blue, but the rain came just in time to save them. However, Mir Woolsey thinks their soil is rap-
 idly deteriorating through its wash
 ing away by floods and rains. He
 says that little ditches that he could
 step across when he was there are now. many of them. as big as a large
 irrigating ditch and many feet deep
 With every rain more or less of the soil is carried away and the effect Of it is apparent in some places =
 Another thing that he fears will have an evil as well as good effect is being undertaken, and that is the draining of the bottom lands. In that country they cultivate the hills when they are moist enough and the bottom lands when they are not too wet. The latter in many places are now being drained and MT. Woolsey says that in bettering those lands they will make a still larger acreage too dry.
 Mir WOolsey says he met many people who are interested in Arizona and looking this way with view of settling While there he sent here for a supply of literature which he distributed and which the people were glad to get.
