EXIT SHEEHAN,

After senatorial deadlock of ten weeks du-
ration. the Democratic assemblymen in the New
York Legislature have decided TO hold another
who will be acceptable to necessary majority.
and this should mean the elimination of William
f. Sheehan.
Political trickery s dark and devious, but now
that the Insurgents have forced second caucus
they should have something TO say to who
shall be the candidate. and they should say it.
The converting of the second caucus releases the
Democrats who voted almost a hundred times
for Mr. sheehan from their pledge to support
him. This clarifies the situation.
All that remains Ia for the men who bound
themselves to vote for Tammany Leader Muir.
compromise candidate. who win be acceptable
to both factions.
BY this time MIR. Sheehan and Mr. Murphy
must have realized that the frst-named gentle
mans election Is not possible IL Mr.. Sheehan
has sufficient political sagacity, and ability to
make him think he Is senatorial timber. he
should have discernment enough to realize that
he is not wanted as senator from New York. AL.
though he has not had the courage to withdraw
from the contest, as did Mr.. Shepard. he should
now fully appreciate the fact that he is out of
the running and in view of the second caucus
he has no further claim the Democrats in
the Legislature
II might be well for Leader Murphy to realize
that what has applied to Mr.. Sheehan would
most probably apply to almost any other man
the Tammany chieftain might select. The lnsur-
gents are determined that a Tammany man
shall not be elected.
What the Insurgents want is big broad.
ciear-visioned Democrat, free from factionai ALL
ance or other faint. who be depended upon
to represent all of the people of New York all
the time he Ia In the United States Senate
There are few such men In the Democratic
ranks In New York, and one of them should be
selected as the compromise candidate. The
Democrats owe 1t to themselves. their State and
their party to arrive at solution of the matter
during the second caucus.

MAGAZINES As FREIGHT.

Postmaster-General Frank Hitchcock evident
ly has keen sense OF classification. He has an
nounced his intention of transporting magazines
by freight. instead of by mail. and this new
classification will come sufficiently near being
ing Postmaster-General even more unpopular
with the publishers. III such be possible.
Mr.. Hitchcock has not made this decision for
the purpose OF Shaping the magazines IN the
face, but to effect economy in the Post-Oface
Department For years and years, and particu-
larly since the fat magazines became so numer-
GUS. the revenues OF the Post-ofhce Department
have millions -of dollars behind the receipts.
1t has cost Uncle Sam pretty penny to conduct
the Post-Ofhce Department and through Presi
dent Taft and Postmaster-General Hitchcock he
has voiced his disgust the unbusinessike
condition and demanded that this branch of the
government be made at least selfsustaining.
Investigation proved to the satisfaction OF the
President and Postmaster4General that the mag
aznes. which send thousands and thousands Of
pounds OF matter through the mails every
month at rate of one cent pound. compose
which the General Government loses money
The attempt to increase the rate of postage on
the advertising sections OF the magazines, which
compose major portion of the publications, and
in which the advertiser has to pay many times
more than the rate charged by newspapers, has
met with the strongest possible opposition from
the publishers. Whereas they pleaded inability
to pay the increased rate and keep their finan.
ciai heads above water, they readily raised
thousands of dollars for newspaper advertising
with which to influence public opinion against
mentary things about the Postmaster-Genera
and the men in Congress who favored raising
the toll
Although Mr.. Hitchcock declares his scheme
| to transport magazines in carloads by fast
| freight Ia not proposed as a solution of the con,
troversy In Congress, he says his plan will tend
to bring about solution of the question OF In
creased mail rates for magazines.
! The execution of this latest plan will I'M
doubtedly bring about most appreciable reduo
ton in the deficit in the PostOfice Department
because it not only means decrease in the cost
of transportation, but in the railway post-ofics

wide prohibition" North Carolina has given
the inspiration of her brave example, and
we can afford to follow her. One OF the meas
ures approved by the convention, and which will
be pressed before the General Assembly. was
that of the so-called 'anti-Jug law" by which
Is meant that the assembly will be asked for
a law making the place of delivery the place

none the less threatening. The great outstand-
