BOSSES AND RESPECTABLE can
UIDATTS

It has been through nominating high
class business and professional men Of
unexceptionable character that disreput'
able bosses all over the country have met
and been able 10 weather crises, and
to the willingness of such men to accept
nominations from bosses whom they dis
trusted or had good reason TO distruSt
las been partly due the bosses continued
power. Mayor Gaynor by accepting Il
nominate from Murphy IN spite of
u long record of hostility to every
thing that Tammany typifes gave 10
Murphy Il now lease of life. Had the
boss been beaten in 1909. is there any
reason for believing that he would have
become the power I'm this state that he
has been for the last year. Governor
Dix served the same purpose for the
boss Hiding behind the respectable
Dix. Murphy was able 10 gain control
Of the state.
Nor is the result of trusting To the
strength. character and honesty of pur'
pose Of the respectable mon. free from
ma chine eDtanglemeuts, whom bosses
put forward AT critical iunctures as re.
assuring as it might he. This state has
had n bitter experience with Dix Had
he been o Iommany district leader in
stead of high class business man" he
could hardly have proved more service
able TO the boss whose purposes he
masked. And after the way Murphy
and Mayor Gaynor worked together last
winter for the betrayal Of popular GOV
ernment in this city through their
iniquitoUS charter who will say that any
man who has once been tempted by q
bosss offer to make him Il ruler of the
earth may safely be trusted ever after

TIE LAW AND THE STRIKERS.
II Mayor Gaynor is right in holding
that the striking Street Cleaning Depart
ment employees cannot legally be rein
stated the problem of dealing with such
strikes in the future will be much .simpl'-
fed. In fact, it is not likely that other
city laborers will care to repeat the eA'
pertinent Of striking. And. fortunately
there is good reason for thinking thut
the MAYOR is right. The civil service
law provides that lahorer appointed
under It's provisions may BE- reinststed
after failure 10 work on showing thar
he has not beeu guilty cf delinquency.
But refusal 10 work, al least III lEis
case. does amount 10 delinquency or
II would seem that the courts should
regard it as one.
The strike has no place in pubic em-
ploy ment, and If thc law is that Strik-
ing public enploye cannot Be rein
stated except by once more passing the
prescribed tests and getting upon the
civil service eligible list then the state
has. unwittingly perhaps, guarded itself
pretty effectively against such strikes.
If strike means not merely quitting
work, as it does in private employment
but quitting the job voluntarily throw
ing up the employment for good and all
there will be few strikes among labor
ers in public employment, at least few
without great provocation.
But even If the law did not bar the
re-employmenf Of The street cleaning
strikers the Mayor would be pursuing
the proper course in declining 10 re-cul-
ploy them The strike is without any
good excuse. and the objections of the
striking collectors of ashes and garbage
TO the change from day to night work
are currently believed to he very differ

ANOTHER BULL WILL FILED
Antedates Three Other Dccu.
ments-Much to Daughter.

Alfred. Me, Nov 1o-Although settled
some months ago by agreement of coun-
sci, the famous Bull will case which, dur
ing it's trial. furnished numerous sensations,
came TO the notice OF the courts again
to-day when a new will, the fourth 10 be
presented. was entered for probate here.
This will. which appears TO be in the hand
writing Of Mrs. Sara o. Bull, widow Of the
famous Norwegian violinist, ole Bull, an
tedates the other three documents, aud
gives practically the entire estate to Mrs.
Olea Bull Vaughn, daughter, who recent
Is died.
In the instrument. which Is dated Janu-
airy ., 1902, Joseph G. Thorp, of Cambridge
Mass. a brother Of Mrs. Bull, receives only
$1,000 while in the wills previously pre-
sented to the court the greater part of the
estate was left to Mr.. Thorp and his rela-
tives The other documents were dated in
1907. 1909 and 1910. respectively. They were
all disallowed on July is after a contest In
court. and an agreement was entered into
by which Mrs. Vaughn received practically
what the will presented to-day DEGREES.
II is understood that the latest Will to be
presented was found among private papers
I'm tho offices of Grindlay q Co, bankers.
Of London and Calcutta, where II had ap-
parently lain undisturbed for the last ten
years.
Under the terms of the will presented to-
dav email sums are beaueathed TO persons
who were not taken care of IN the agree
ment reached in the early summer, and
for this reason it Is thought possible that
attorneys for Mrs. Vaughn estate may
agree 10 the allowance or the document.

CiIIL SERVICE ~ NEW JERSEY.
There was no more emphatic and sic
nificant feature Of the election in New
Jersey than the strong popular approval
which was given to the merit system in
the civil service. The civil service law
OF 1905 is compulsory on all state de
partments, but its adoption by munici
palities is left optional with the people
From the beginning its opponents have
declared that there was 10 popular de
mand or even desire for the law. and
that If left 10 themselves the people
would never adopt IT, This contention
was somewhat shaken by the results Of
last years election, when the law was
adopted by Essex County and the cities
Of Newark and East Orange. But then
Il was SAID, those municipalities were
the very hotbed Of New Idea" fadS.
and the results there would not be re
reated elsewhere.
The question was voted upon on Tues.
day last in five municipalities: The coun-
ties OF Mercer and Hudson. the cities Of
Trenton and Jersey City. and the biz
village Of South Orange. I'm all Of them

posed by the political machines. and in

protests Hill be gauged at their proper
value by those who understand in ad-
vance the course Secretary Wilson has
adopted and its purpose.
Like most important measures passed
! by Congress. the legislation providing for
the requirement Of these lands was long

the speculators and the history Of their
relations with the owners have convinced
Mr.. Wilson Of the advisability of dealing
directly with the latter in order that
they may receive the full value Of their
lands and that at the same time the gov
ernmcnt may be able to secure the lands

LURING NEW YORK FARMERS
Protest From One Who Believes This

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: During the last week the railroad
interests Of the West have hired New
Yorks largest hall. There they have set
up exhibits which are tempting to say the
least They show the best products OF the
Western farms. The reason for this enor-
mously expensive exhibit is that these
Westerners, with tho assistance OF the
Canadians, hope to lure farmers from this
state 10 their own states. They are after
our capital. They want the people Of our
own state to ignore the great possibilities
which they have within a few miles Of
their osn homes and 80 West
Perhaps there would be no great objec-
ton TO this II these Westerners limited
their arguments to the merits Of their own
products. bat they haven't done this. They
have caused to he cent broadcast stories
to tho effect that New York state farms to
"a great extent have been abandoned. They
have said that many Of our present farms
are non-productiye.
