THE SOCIAL ECONOMY.
There IS another side-the human
interest" side.
The conditions under which the work
IS done at the Beverly Factory are d
matter of pride with the men them
selves.
The state statistics show that the ma
Clinists at Beverly receive wages which
average among the highest paid in the
Commonwealth. The workman is dealt
with IN such a manner that the inpor-
tance Of individual intelligence and in
dustry is emphasized. The wage ques-
ton has been made the subject OF eX-
haustlve study, and 4 piece price system
has been worked out so that the majority
OF the operatives work upon that basis.
The workman IS thus able to regulate
for himself his status. He stands or
falls according as he pursues his labors.
Within recent months the working
hours OF the factory have been reduced
III number that the employees may have
an hour more OF leisure at each day end
than previously.
In the great workshops the high
walls, with window space predominant
ing, the pure air system OF ventilation
these things make lie worth living for
the men and women who pass their
working hours within the Beverly Fac

which Mr.. Shepard, as Special Deputy
Attorney General. prosecuted the boss Of
Coney Island and about twenty OF his
lieutenants for ballot box stuf1ng. In
the campaigns of 1892 and 1898 he and
the Brooklyn Democratic Club. which he
had formed. were much in the public
eye. In 1894 he helped TO form the Inde-
pendent Democracy, which supported
Everett P. Wheeler for Governor against
David B. Hill and Levi P Morton.
The next year came his break with the
Democratic powers that then were in
Kings County. He became the candt-
date Of the Independent Democracy for
Mayor, but his antagonisn toward Hugh
Mclaughlin didn't help him in the vote
getting line. and the Republican candi-
date beat him badly. In 1896 Mr.. Shep-
ard couldn't stand for William Jennings
Bryan. He was one OF the gold Dem
ocrats" and q delegate TO the National
Gold Democratic Convention az Indian
apolis. In 1897 Mr.. Shepard supported
Seth Low for Mayor. The next year he
supported Augustus Van Wyck for Gov
er1lor.
Most of this time Mr.. Shepard had
been considered by the politicians Of his
party either visionary or a "reformer.
which even yet is a hard thing 10 say
about a man who is in the political
world He had been chairman Of the
Civil Service Board OF Brooklyn He
stood for Civil Service reform, for tariff
reform. for tax reform, for ballot re-
form. But his ability and his standing
in the community were admitted. So
when, in 1850 it became known that he
intended to support William Jennings
Bryan his aid was sought eagerly.
Though in times past he had fayed
Tamuany mercilessly, he was asked 70
be chairman OF q great Tammany Hall
mass meeting in Madison Square Gar
den, and his speech vas enc OF the feat
ures cf the meeting. He and Richard
Croker sat on the same platform, ana
Croker is said 10 have conceived there
distinct admiration for the little man
who had such a reputation as fighter
After the meeting he said that Shepard
was one of the ablest men in the Dem
ocratic party. II was rather natural
therefore that Croker was entirely Will
ing 20 have Shepard as candidate for
Mayor OF New York City in 1901
Some people were unkind enough 10
say that the nomination came as recon-

previous year. but his friends always
have laughed at that statement II hap

Several Halloween masqueraders in

weller banners. The mayor spoke on To-
cal and state issues attacking republi-
canism in general. The parties can no
longer nominate office seekers who de-
serve the nomination for nothing more
than services they have rendered their
party, stated the mayor. He added that
the candidate today must be a man of
sterling worth, and he questioned where
could a more liberal minded, educated
man be found than Woodrow Wilson7
Mr.. Kehoe, when introduced, spoke
of Wilson's new ideas in each of his
speeches, ideas of the masses, not the
classes. He referred to the dinner re.

date. "Mr. Calvin never gets angry
he said, che is a sort of balance wheel
in the council. He is liked by all the

term. Mr.. Seaman denied the charge
of extravaganza made by republicans,
and compared the streets of this city
and Elizabeth, and the tax rates of both
cities, showing the advantage here.
Nathaniel Cornelison, candidate for
alderman in the first ward, spoke for
several minutes. He was supported by
Alderman -at-Large Voorhees,, who sta
ted that Mr.. Cornelison favored i'm.
provements in the first ward and was a
likely candidate. In extolling the
mayor, Mr.. Voorhees, pointed out how

hees.

The result of the primaries for mem.
bers Of the Connecticut legislature
shows Senator Morgan G. Buckley de-
c~isively beaten for reelection. If the
Republicans carry the legislature ex-
Governor Mclean will have a major
ity Of the caucus. The fight was ex-
ceedingly bitter. While Mclean has
never been classed as an insurgent, he
Is at least more nearly a progressive
than Buckley.
Of the thirty senators whose terms
expire March 4 next, tw~enty-one voted
for the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill on
final passage. Through withdrawal or
defeat seven of these have already
fallen by the wayside. These are Aid
rich of Rhode Island, withdrawn;
Buckley of Connecticut, defeated;
Burrows of Michigan, defeated by a
progressive; Flint Of California, with
drawn, to be succeeded by a near pro-
gressive; Hale of Maine, withdrawn,
to be succeeded by a Democrat; Piles
Of Washington, withdra wn, to be sue
ceeded by a progressive, and Warner

OF the remaining fourteen there are
eight who are in peril of being beaten
either in their own party or by the
Democrats. These are Burlkett of Ne
braska, Carter of Montana, Clark Of
Wyoming, Depew OF New York, Dick
of Ohio, Dupont of Delaware, Kean
of New Jersey, Lodge of Massachu-
sets and Nixon of Nevada.
OF the entire twenty-one outgoing
senators who voted for the Payne bill
a majority will never come back.
Now look on the other side Of the
picture. There are three outgoing Re-
publican senators who did not vote for
the Payne bill-Beveridge of Indiana,
Clapp of Minnesota and La Toilette of
Wisconsin. All three have been re-
nominated or will be, and only one,
Beveridge, is in any peril from the
Democrats.

CROWD PLAYS
MANY PRAN ks

Smith street in the glare Of the
white arc lights last night needed
but O few ball room decorations and
an orchestra to complete the picture
of a masquerade ball in progress.
True, there was NO dancing, but the
celebrants in costume were there,
possibly in greater numbers than in
any year previous, with horns and
whistles, and ingenious "tie-tac" de-
vices that caused more misery
among the nervous people who
stayed at home than can be mag
ined.
The usual gangs congregated to
"swipe" gates and steal ice cream
f%Teezers from the back porches of
their more social brothers who held
Halloween parties indoors. Des-
pite the carnival, no arrests were
made. Several small losses such as
a wagon or a gate were reported to
the police, but these matters were f.
nally settled.
Probably the principal object of
attack last night was the high school,
where the senior class held its an
nual Halloween party. A gang Of
200 or more, including several jun
Tors whose luminosity towards their
upper classmen is i'll concealed, adj
Yanced upon the seniors stronghold
about 10 O'Clock, in a search for the
ice cream and sweetmeats which al
ways accompany such a celebration,
But the seniors we're prepared for
the gang, inasmuch as they them
selves were once members of that
class. Buckets of water had been
placed at upper windows in anticipa-
ton of such an attack, and when the
gang stealthily crept across the lawn
close to the building, the seniors
quietly opened the windows and
emptied the buckets.
One large gang of more than 150
members frequented streets in the
southern section of the city. Per-
rine & Buckelew's tool shed in
Kearny avenue was knocked over, a
large boulder was rolled down the
bank in front of the Westminster,
and other minor "depredations'
were committed.
A dozen or SO Jack o'lanterns
| graced the porch of S. R. Audsley
at 100 Lewis street. These were
spied by the gang, and within q
mlUutG OI So the CdAuIeS MSi6 On
tinguished and the pumpkin heads
were whisked away. Mr.. Audsley,
however, appeared on the porch, and
mockingly presented them to the
boys, but the youths had already Sc
cured them.
A party was in progress at Franz
Roessler's residence, in High street
with the ice e on the rear porch
The masqueraders were wise" tc
the ice cream, guarded by a sleepy
gardener, and an attempt was made
to kidnap that official. But Mr.
Roessler appeared before the ice
cream could be stolen.
Mayor Bollschweiler's cigar store
in Smith street, received its supply
of attention. The gang visited the
place and gave the mayor and Wood
row Wilson an ovation.
Chief Burke's orders concerning
the celebration were observed. There
were several articles "stolen," how.
ever, one, a wagon belonging to Ezra
T. Sweet. A window valued at Sc
at the home of Mrs. NJ. Scott, 81
| Gordon street, was broken.
