Enable Times to Furnish Quick and
Accurate Election Returns.

The rapidity and accuracy with
which The Times supplied the public
with election returns was made pos
siDle by the use OF Burroughs Adding
machines, which were installed in The
Times Office by the Burroughs com
pany especially for the purpose. The
machines greatly facilitate the time
and labor required TO correctly add

Joseph Fels, Millionaire, Says Poverty
Should Be Abolished.

NEW YORK, April 4.-Members OF
the Twilight club have plenty of food
of the unduly wealthy by Joseph Fels,
millionaire manufacturer. At the
clubs banquet last night Fels styled
himself and all his kind 'Legalized

of created values and not from actual
labor
But don't believe the wealthy
should give their money to charity,
they should rather strive to wipe out
the conditions that make poverty
possible," said Fels

More than a hundred years ago um.

Cured to any one, until the last few

have ribs long enough to give spiral
large enough to give ample protection.
The new India revolutioniZes the whole
principle OF making a convenient and
serviceable umbrella or parasol In
the lew India the ribs are fattened
near the lower ends to give flexibility
and allow them to bend downward
when opened. an effect brought about
easily by the tightening OF the cover.
All this has the effect of giving 25-
inch India umbrella larger spread
than an old style 2S-inch umbrella )r

stronger than an ordinary umbrella.
Besides, this neat curvature about the
edge adds beauty and symmetry not

India may be had with cover Of fine

NO MORE PRETORIANS.

IT is sgainst public interest and public order that employees Of
city, State or nation should organize to extort higher pay or
privileges through political pressure or through strikes. The
civil service theory bears down hard on this point. Government
clerks are forbidden to circulate political petitions, serve on political
committees or make political addresses. 1t has even been urged
That for the safety of the State municipal ownership, wherever
adopted, should be accompanied by the Acknowledgement of the men
brought into the service.
Public opinion must be ~watchful, for the tendency Of public
employees to organize against the public interest and play "inside
politics" to their own profit is as old as the Janizares, as the Pre-
jtorian Guards. IT is as contemporary also as the strike in the
sStreet Cleaning Department here, or as the newly organized Federal
?Civil Service Society, with its propaganda for higher pay.
Such projects are usually as harmful in motive as in method.
THE attempt Of employees in the Dock Department some months ago
10 dictate to the city how its ferries should be run and by whom
was insubordination-a blow at the public authority, a conspiracy
against the peoples pockets. There can be no liberation of the
strike in the Street Cleaning Department, with its menace to health
through leaving city wastes uncolected. The strike is a reaction
ssry protest against the night collection Of ashes and garbage, q
system that obtains in all enlightened foreign cities and that assures
70 us streets free all day from the ofenses and traffic obstacles Incl
dent to this work.
& Public employees receive higher pay than those in private un-
~dertakings, do less work and have shorter hours, longer vacations
and a permanent job. Is this not enough?

sOclALlsM's TWENTY CITIES.

rVEw of the voters who helped elect Socialist Mayors in about a
score Of American cities know what Socialism is-in this re-
respect not differing from Socialist spokesmen themselves
They voted for its candidates as men vote for "third parties'-be
they anti-Masonic, Prohibitionist or Popuhst-in a time Of low party
tension, or to record their impotence with the ineffectualihes Of
municipal administration under old party guidance. Having no
means to execute their doctrine without grant from Legislatures, the
Socialstic Mayors will undertake paternalsic schemes of varying
merit and fortune. and then pass out the first chance voters have

in effect was: "You have been faithless in a few things, therefore we
Would make you stewards over many things" Because cities have
mismanaged their police and fire and health and water departments

public service lie less efficient than private enterprise, the demand is
that private enterprise be abolished. Thus impotence PUSHES to
