MOTHER ELIMINATION.

The forced Withdraw wal of Governor
AIalcoIm u Patterson as Il candidate for
reelection in Tennessee is = notable
tribute TO the increased power III politics
of public opinion. Governor Patterson
had persiStently defed the moral Scnti-
ment OF his state. He committed gross
breach of public trust when he pardoned
his intimate personal and political
friend. Duncan Is. Cooper. after the lat
ter'S conviction on tho charge OF COM
plicitv in the murder of ex-senator Car
mack had been affirmed by the state SUI
prcme Court According to the test
mony of maiority of the members OF
the court-all Democrats-he tried To 1tl-
fluence their action in the Cooper case
and he subsequently attempted 10 us
cipline them by defeating them Tor re-
nomination and reelection. His Whole
attitude was one of contempt for the
processes of Justice, where his own in
terestS were involved His candidacy
for reelection was an. atfront to the
states self-respect. and thousands of
Democrats naturally put the obligation
to drive him out Of public life above
nominal loyalty to him rs regular
Democratic candidate.
Governor Patterson would probably
have continued TO press his claims upon
the party if the Democratic officehold-
crS under him had not become panic
stricken, They saw that his defeat was
inevitable and rebelled at sacrificing
themselves to satisfy his ambition
THE Nashville American" has been de
ploring for some time the unhappy fate
of the Democratic state and county office
holders whose fortunes were tied up
with those Of the Patterson machine
The plants of his followers have evil

despise the popular condemnation of his
actions, saying defiantly in his letter OF
withdrawal: Il can look back on my
record with pride for there is not
IDIOT or a stain on it.
The effect of the withdrawal is hard
to gauge. 1t comes d little late to upset
the plans of the Independent Democrats
to support Mr.. Patterson's Republican
rival, Captain s. W. Hooper. y Demo
cratic nominee selected by Patterson
would he almost as Objectionable 10 the

PERSONALITIES AND TARIFF.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Mr.. Harris has kindly responded 10
my communication concerning duty on
conservatives. Unless | am In error. the
Industry which he advocates employs Amer
lean Workmen, whose wages are not regu-
lated simply by their tasks and abilities,
but also by a protective tariff whose
generous design is TO enable the producer
to pay them more than their tasks would
otherwise Yield and extract the additional
amount added to the payroll from the pock-
cts Of those who use the goods, and stop
right there. OF course.
Although, like MIR Harris, I have been q
warm advocate of a protective tariff. L do
not think il quite as sacred / did. 1t
had never been provided with a safety
valve and l have come To regard 1t
miserable humbug, under whose guise huge
profts are promoted and higher prices
maintained than are warranted. Perhaps
Mr.. Harris can point out number of eX-
amples of the bcneficent operations of the
tariff but | think not. Salt, vinegar. smoke
and sugar have at least price in their favor

TIE RAILROAD RATE HE4RINGs

TIE RAILROAD RATE HEARINGS.
The hazy impression that the increases
proposed by the railroads applied TO al
most all freight rates was dispelled by
yesterdays testimony Of Nice-PreS' dent
Thayer Of the Pennsylvania Railroad at
the hearing before the examiner for the
Interstate Commerce Commission Mr..
Thayer stated that the increases applied
only 10 classified freight, which was al
ready known, but he showed that the
effect would be TO raise charges only on
long haul freight traffic. The railroads
felt. he said. that the rates on long haul
traffic had been 100 low as compared
with the rates on short haul traffic, and
He inStanced the rates on first class
freight from New York 10 Philadelphia,
ninety miles. - cents. and from New
York 10 Chicago. one thousand miles. -
cents The proposed increases would af-
feet the New York 10 Chicago rate, but
not that from New York 10 Philadelphia.
N fact Mr.. Ihaycr said that within 4
radius of two hundred miles of a given
pcint rates would he unchanged, and
HAT, moreover. commodity rates apply
ing 10 eight thousand different articles
were uuaItered-
Mr. Thayer's test iInoDy makes plain
exactly what the railroads propose 70 do
and alleges a reason for doing il, name
Iy. that tb" long haul traffic is unprofit-
able It would seem that such an eX-
PLANTATION might VOL have been the first
evidence introduced by the railroads in
the presentation Of their case. The pro
duction of Il maze of figures by suhor-
dinates without authority 10 promise the
details and original documents which
counsel for the shippers desired as the
first step in the railroads side of the
case tended 10 create III unfortunate i'm
preston The defects III the tables of
figures that were pointed out and the
natural hcsitancy of Subordinatcs suG-
gested that the railroads had no intcn-
ton to be frank, and frankneSs is abso-
lutclr necessary to their success. If a
good reason exists fer the increases pro-
posed. or for any increases, no one will
long object 10 them.

Sir: In her article in behalf of the
'womanettes' as the anti-suffragists have
lately been called Molly L. Seawell in The
Atlantic" for September. differs with Mr..
Howells's statement that there are many
arguments against woman suffrage but no
reasons" Miss Seawell says that there are
compelling reasons against it, and here is
one of them. She says:
Mrs. Mackay holds that influence such
as women now possess, without responsible
ity is a very bad thing. She proposes TO
substitute the authority of the ballot IN
place of influence, but still without respon-
sibility.''
That is not true. and it is a specious and
,ophistical piece of argument. which does
cot deserve the name of reason "Casulstlc
legerdemaiu' is the true name for IT.
The moral mollycoddling of the WON

CONTRAST ~ PRTfTfRFIN.


Our neigbboT The Mail makes an eff
fcctiye point against the primary system
in this state when 1t contrasts the apathy
witt, which the primaries III all the bic
cities OF The state to-day are ap-
preached with the interest in the pri-
marieS in Iowa, Kansas. Wisconsin ana
the other states where the direct system
prevails The primaries in New York,
which are being held from time TO time,
are the most important in many years.
The control of the Republican party. the
pariy'S attitude on public questions and
the probability of its continuance in
power all hinge upon the result of the
primaries. Yet has any one been able Ia
find more than usual interest among the
voters in the primaries themselves: More
persons viii probably read about the re
suits in the newspapers, but VIII The
attendance 1T the primaries bee any
greater than usual: II ought To be, and
we hope il will be, but there are no IN
dications that it will he.
The reason for the apathy is not want
cf appreciation of the tremendous i'm
i'i'i itiii'is " itl' iN'>t'H fit - ~
except in few cases nothing Is being
settled by the primaries; that they are
for the most part an empty form, the
real determination of the control OF The
party and of lis future course taking
place behind the scenes 1T was different
in Iowa and Kansas. There every voter
knew that his vote counted. that ne
would have Us much 10 say rs 10
whether the party should be progressive
or reactionary as he would have To say
on Election Day rs To whether a Demo
crat or Republican should be Governor.
There was a simple and sure way III
which every party voter could make his
influence felt That WIS the reason why
primary elections in these Western
states were preceded by campaign in
which the public showed its interest by
coming cut TO listen TO speakers on blaZ-
inc hot August nights, and that was the
reason why there was an extensive par
ticipation in the Western primary cleo
tfons. Nothing could better prove the
effectiveness of the indirect system than
the failure of this important contest in
the Republican party in this state to
arouse unusual interest.
