DEMAND FOR GOOD GOVERNMENT.

~ NE lesson drawn from the elections last week
~ is that the people Of the cities are weary of
having political machines whose object is personal
profit control them. The mass of independent
voters is constantly growing larger. They are de-
manding that a municipality shall be run on a
busness-like basis. Appeals to party regularity
are no longer effective For years q vicious polit
cal organization controlled Philadelphia despite the
fact that almost every man you would meet there
would tell of the graft and contractors plumber in
the city. Notwithstanding all this the organza-
tion managed to control largely through fraud, II
is generally believed But finally the leaders quar-
relied among themselves. Penrose fought
Ware, astounding revelations made of the
plumber of the city with the result that by mar
row margin a reform Mayor chosen.
1t is probable that If there had been no dispute
between Ware and McNichol and Penrose, Blank
enburg would have been defeated but that is con-
lecture. Phadelphians simply became nauseated
with the unwholesome mess.
In New York the control by Tammany hangs
by narrow thread. Tammany is never sure Of
the city for the people rise and punish the tiger
and then. The queer thing about it is that
Tammany never learns a lesson, but in the face
of repeated defeats or near defeats the same old
tactics are pursued Tammany and Murphy are
largely responsible for the chilling blight they
have put upon Democratic prospects for next year.
One Of the most remarkable results in mun-
cipa election was that in Cincinnati where the re-
gime of Boss Cox was completely overturned.
There was a clean sweep by the Democratic can
didates. The attorney that prosecuted Cox was
chosen Mayor and the Democrats have the Coun-
ellis The Cox machine has been one of the most
strongly entrenched in the country.
President Taft very indiscreetly "monkeyed'
with the situation in Cincinnati and thus gave his
opponents a chance to say that the defeat there
also a left handed blow at the President.
In many cities the Socialists elected their candi-
dates. Ii all shows that the people cropping in

4 sTORY OF LINCOLN ANp HIs GREAT sECRETARY OF WAR.

"The supreme control which AbTa-
ham Lincoln exercised over th1 mem
bers of his cabinet-and that without
ever givins 0ifense or IN any way
wOunding feelings" once said Chari, j
A. Dana. who was Assistant Secretary
of War in lS62-b4. was vciy impress
5ivcly revealed one morning IN the Of
fice of the Secretary of War. Edwin
N. Stanton II should explain) was a
man OF violent temper, of intense pre-
JUDGES. and OF an iron will which
sometimes seemed 10 pass over the
line which separates reasonable de-
termination from oDstinacy. And in all
things he was bound to have his own
way.
We'll a few weeks before The fall
election Of 1852. Mr.. Lincoln learned
thai there was a good deal OF factiOnal
trouble in the Republican party i'm the
State OF Illinois. He regarded il as
highly important in that darkest year
of the war that there should be no
Generalization among the Republicans
Of his own state. After consulting with
friends in whom he placed perfect
confidence. he learned that If he were
TO order the appointment o. two men,
citizens Of Illinois, to some important
military offices he could in that way
undoubtedly bring order out Of dis
order and thereby enable his party In
Illinois to present a solid front at the
November election. Both men were
without any military capacity, but
they were very influential in some of
the districts of Chicago and had a
strong following in other parts OF the
State. They were in other words, po-
liucians.
Acting upon the hint which he had
received from his friends, Mr.. Lincoln
ordered Secretary Stanton to appoint
these two men to the important mill
tary Offices which Mr.. Lincoln named.
A day or two later, after a cabinet
meeting Lincoln held Mr.. Stanton
back for a few moments as the other
members of the cabinet were leaving
the room and asked him if 10 had made
the appointments Stanton somewhat
brusquely replied that he had not and
then went away.
"On the following morning Lincoln
strolled over TO the war Office. He
greeted Mr.. Stanton pleasantly and
then sat down upon a sofa at the end
Of the room, crossing his long legs, AT
last he said.

Orville Wright, the veteran flyer,
said the other day in Dayton:
Our aim is to make flying safe. The
important thing is not now to produce
aeroplanes that will go $50 miles an
hour. but to produce aeroplanes that
won't fall down
Mr. Wright smiled.
I'm reminded of a flying story" he
went on. "a story about a man who
called at a biplane-selling agency and
said:
"'My elder brother bought a biplane
here last month. You told him If any
thing broke you'd supply the missing
