MURPHY, M'COOEY, CASSIDY.

TH;RE never va any reason for Murphy, McCooey and Cas-
sidy, Democratic bosses in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens,
beyond the fact that elections were won under them. They
have followed their own interest in politics as Croker worked for
his own pocket all the time" They are not on speaking terms with
the public interest. Who would care for Murphys views on dock ad-
ministration, though he was dock commissioner Or McCooeys on
civil service reform, though he was civil service commissioner ?
Or Cassdy's views on street administration, although as borough
president that function was hs2 Is any one Of the three capable Of
formulating a programme OF conceivng q polcy3
Why, then, should Murphy or McCooey or Cassidy further At.
fct the city9 They have lost their only qualification for leadership.
They can no longer deliver the vote. AT Tuesdays election the
Bronx got away from them. Brooklyn got away from them. Queens
got away from them, and even Richmond elected a fusion candidate.
Only New York County was retained, and that by a negligible 1000
plurality. In an off year, when Tammany Il wont to carry the city
BY an easy margin, II lost the city by 10000.
New York 10 an~tiTammsny because Of Murphy, McCooey and
Cassidy, not despite Thorn. Their leadership gives heart only to their
opponents. Murphy has force, but no ideas, no ideals, nothing but
his selfish purposes and the backing Of interests that exploit the
community. McCooey is . mere cipher, q cipher that represents the
status Of Brooklyn autonomy under his Leadership" Cassidy is a
spokesman born too late and unable to refine his methods to meet
modern squeamishness.
The city has added q million and Q half to its population in the
decade, is extending is activities and reflecting the liberalzng ten
denotes Of the time. It 10 entitled to political chiefs whose preten-
sions are not a joke, whose power is not a liability to the party in
the nation, whose mentality il not impervious to the suggestions Of
the age.

BObbie Mischief and Robbie

@NE bright. sunny day little Bobbie
Mischief was walking through q
pretty green feld. and - he
passed hs struck at the flowers near
him with . big switch. I do not think
that Bobble really MEANT to hurt the
flowers. but he DID. all the same. He
swished OF their leaves and their pct
ais and often their whole heads. And
the little Injured flowers sobbed softly
and pleaded with him not to hurt them.
Blu Bobbie Mischief never heard them.
for he skipped along whistiing and sing
ing At the top Of his voice.
And Bobbie Mischief NEVER. NEVER
got anything nice from the fairies!
When Bobbie Kind. a poor little boy.
came home from school that day he had
to pass through the field where all the
dead flowers were. Pc felt sorry for
them and brought many little sticks to
prop up the poor flowers and many
blades OF grass to bandage their wounds
A big red poppy was the last to be
tended. and out OF It fioated a very tiny
! and very beautiful fairy. She stood on
one of the poppy's large petals and said
to Bobbie md:
you have been very good TO US. Now
WE shall be very good to you, What
do YOU want to make you happy"
II want all these dear flowers to live
again and be happy, too answered
Bobbie.
Immediately the flowers lived and
were happy. for they sang soft. sweet
songs, Then the Bleeding Heart dropped
large, blood red rubics In his lap. and
the Golden Glow gave him many pieces

TWENTY-oNE EXCELLENT REASONS.

~ VIE whless Wilett will probably be held to blame for the
defeat Of the Democrats in Kings County by the so-caled
party Headers" who nominated him. But there is q deeper
reason why the party should have gone to defeat. III Q because the

A VOGUE OF DARK CLOTHES.
Paris Says One Must Dress to Mattel
 the Soul

The latest mandate from costume experts in Paris comes to New York by way Of Miss Katherine GrOth. the New York Tribune affaiI'ms. It is no longer sufficient, il seems, to dress becomingly to match ones eyes, or ones Grecian profile. Miss Groth had pathetic tale to tell about a breezy Western girl"
 She came to an afternoon tea in Paris" she said. She was large and beautiful and she wore a perfectly stunning Paris hat, one that proclaim ed itself Paris in every subtle curve and every couuettish little rosebud.
 oh. isn't that a wonderful hat I cried. and the great artist to whom I spoke answered Unenthusiasticly Yes
 |" And isn't it wonderfully becom- ing?' cried I again.
 It's becoming to her physically, but it's horribly unbecoming to her mentally he said A breezy, frank cIear-souled girl like that has no busi- ness wearing an insidious looking hat

i the British law courts. One would naturally, perhaps, look for the throne ! proper at Windsor. It surely should be the kings Windsor chair" and. | as a matter of fact, there is both a 1 throne room in the ancient fortress and palace, but it is probably the , very last chair King George would be seated upon if one could pay an afternoon call. And. so far from this throne being unique. there is actually one at each of the royal palaces. and it IS probable that the one at Buck lngham palace is the more generally used inasmuch as most ceremonial occasions take place there
 The king may be said to have d suite of thrOnes-Or shall I say a set of occasional thrones ?"-on each of which he probably sits once. Ger tainly he only sits on a single Occa- sion upon one of them: that is the coronation chair in Westminster Ab- bey, the worm eaten, battered. lion footed old oak settee which contains the stone of destiny. and upon which all the kings predecessors since Ed
 
 chair might, perhaps. claim to be the throne of the empire, as it is infinitely the most ancient and inasmuch as the king must sit upon it to be crowned
 It is not at all likely that the king would sit upon it often, even if it were in his ain ingle nook" because it is an extremely uncomfortable chair. It stands. year in and year out. in the chapel of Edward the COnfessor, where il was pSced by Edward I, and Il is only 1rnoved for the corona ton. when, covered with gold bro cade, II is set under the lectern be- tween the choir and the altar Proba- bly the throne most familiar to the public is the great creation which stands upon a dias in the house of lords
 IL is often mentioned in the news papers quite apart from the opening of parliament, the only occason upon which it is actually used as a seat Often phrase like this occurs: Mir. Pohn Burns, who is greatly inter ested in this bill, listened to the de- bate from the steps of the throne beautiful rail separates this royal seat of kings" from the faithful peers.
 But it is not everybody who real lZes that the palace of Westminster the correct name for the parliament tary hOuses-contains' second throne This is placed in the kings robing room. and is used by the king when he is putting on his regal garb before entering the house of peers to read the speech from the throne As matter of fact the official throne is the one at St. James palace that ordinary looking brick building at

THEFT OF PAPERS
 FROM MONUMENTS
Reprehensible Act That Should Be
 Given Widest Publicity.

C. V. Hopkins, chief engineer of the United Verde Mining company, is in Phoenix on rather unusual business of a company nature. and though it does not directly concern the public. the in- cident that necessitates it is of such a character that the public shouIl be ap- prised of it and warning given to of- lenders for their own and the public good.
 The company has certain mining claims which were surveyed and are undergoing patent, in the vicinity of Jerome In accordance with the law the location notice, surveys and other papers required were placed in the monuments on the ground Some per son or persons have at least partially destroyed the monuments and ab- stracted these legal documents, crime punishable by heavy penalties It was necessary as soon as the discovery was made. to supply new notices and maps to take the place of those stolen and to do this MT. Hopkins had to make ap- plication to the surveyor general He expects to get his business closed up today and return home tonight
 u iN V N l'fiAL bll lllt ldte or InlN2S that this act will cost the company some little money. time and inconven- fence. if nothing else but had the theft not been discovered it might have made more serious trouble It is true the company can afford the expense with out embarrassment but the crime is one against the law and the next victim might be some locator wno could not afford such extra expense or the great CT trouble of later perplexities in the event the theft was not promptly dis covered
 Mir. Hopkins says that the identity of the culprits is not known. He pre- ferS to believe that the act was done by some irresponsible person not cog nizant of the law. but ignorance of the law excuses no one in such cases and the sacrednesS of legal monuments on mining claim cannot be too strongly emphasized for the benefit of all min ing interests. More often than other wise the mere matter of added expense would fall heavily on the victim.
