A "HIGH BROW SHOWS POLL
TICIANS A THING OR TWO.

One Of those "dsrned literary fell
lows" has been playing the mischief
with the politicians in Chicago. He is
college professor who got into the
city council, and having a Rosa Oar
tie way of asking questions because
ne wanted ~to know. you know" it
was finally decided-as a good way to
get nd of him, we believe-to make
him the head of a commission of inves-
tigation and let him 60 as far as he
liked.
Of course, it was never supposed that
he would wind up with anything tanqi-
Bile But he took the thing seriously
and actually started In to find ont what
the city was getting for the money it e1-
pended In a little while he turned IN
so much that was not known about
how the politicians handled the funds
provided for city work that the most
blase citizen was compelled 10 sit I'D
and take notice As the investigation
proceeded it attracted more and more
sttertion, not only in Chicago but else
where, and, as a result, Chicago seems
10 have discovered that alert civic CON
science without which all efforts at mu-
nicipal reform are vain.
AS Indications of interest in nunjei-
pal politics on the part of men like the
Chicago professor are usually laughed
at as high brow" movement. to be
treated with either contempt or ridi-
cule, it is only fair to give credit when
one of them sccomplishes what he
starts out to do.

THE MAJORITY LEADERS ARE
NOW AROUSED.

The Republican leaders in Massa-
chusetts wish to make a red-hot cam
paign in the Fourteenth district, where
a special election is to be held 10 fill
the vacancy caused by the death of
Mr.. Lowering On first thought, it
would hardly seem necessary to battle
for control Of a district which was car
ried in 1908 by a tremendous majority,
but possibly, th~ Republican leaders
have had their ears 40 the ground.
OF the fourteen Massachusetts dis
tricts, only three, and those the BOs-
ton districts, so called, are represented
by Democrats One Of these-the Tenth
would have been captured by the
Republicans last year, with the right
kind of effort. Outside of Boston the
Republicans in recent years have had
comparatively easy travelling.
Now, however, there are signs that
the people are FESTIVE. that even IN
Massachusetts they are awake TO the
fact that campaign pledges which are
made only for campaign purposes can
not be used as genuine arguments for
the support of party candidates who.
if elected, cringe before the party whip
whenever that wnip is snapped in be.
half Of the "inte -ests."
1t Is almost too much 70 suppose
that the Democrats Will be equal to
their opportunities. When there is an
opportunity to teach the dominant
party a lesson, they much prefer 10
fight among themselves. Should they
suddenly acquire the wisdom Of expert
ence, the fighting in Massachusetts for
Representatives in the National House
would be genuine and instructive

TROUBLES OF ADMINISTRA,
TON RAILROAD BILL.

The Administration railroad bill is
having troublous time. In the Sen
ate and House it is confronted with
the most formidable opposition. This
opposition is not to the idea of en-
hancing the power of tie Interstate
Commerce Commission and adding to
the authority of that body over the
railroads of the United States. But it
is 10 certain features Of the railroad
bill, as it has been reported to the Sen
ate and as it was introduced in both
houses of Congress.
Somehow or other, the bill has been
found to contain various features that
are not steps forward in the matter Of
Government regulation of railroads.

INCOME TAX AMENDMENT.

Mansfield Enterprise: If the Legisla-
ture of this State have particle of iron
in their blood, they will vote in favor
of the adoption of the income tax
amendment to the Constitution of the
United States. 1t is Democratic meas
ure, strictly and truly, and the man that
votes against it can make no excuse to
a constituency who believe in fair play.
1t is already the boast of the opponents
that they can and will buy enough of
the rotten borough states to beat the
measure, and while we believe this to
be true, we hope our Legislature will
not put such stigma upon the fair
name of the State of Louisiana
