The Stephenson Investigation

Inquiry begins at Milwaukee today into
the election of Isaac Stephenson 10 the
United States Senate. His enemies
charge the corrupt use of money, and
point TO his confession OF cam
paign fund OF over hundred thousand
dollars. Such a sum, they insist, could
not have been employed legitimately. It's
size suggests corruption, and they expect
to establish their charge that corruption
was employed.
Mr. Stephenson, who possesses great
wealth, denies the charge, and will aid
the inousitors In their task. He will
testify in person.
This investigation should yield more of
Importance to the public than that in

Groundless Traditions.

They tell us old New York is gay
And Philadelphia sweetly sleeps;
That in Chicago, far away,
The footpad unmolested creeps.
They say that Boston's wondrous wise
And very proper in its speech;
Yet lots of things they advertise
In real fact they fail to reach.
New York with terror seems to groan
At surface cars and motors great;
And. Philadelphia has been known
To stay awake till half-past eight.
Chicago warns it's rogues away,
And sometimes gets them on the run ::
And there are Boston girls who say
Them there" Il SEEN" likewise Il

The Consumers and the New Rates

In the statement by Commissioner Jud-
son Saturday in justification of the action
increasing the water rates occurred the
following passages:
AT the rates adopted consumers would
continue to receive their water at less
than the cost of the service. interest and
deterioration, of course, being included.
The new rates will remain less than
those prevailing elsewhere.
The above statements indicate that no
hardship Will be placed upon any con
sumner.
1t is not easy TO follow the logic of the
deduction in this assertion. In the firs
place the water consumers of the Dis
trict do not agree that they pay less than
the cost of the service They have only
to turn TO the figures of the report OF
the water department for the fiscal year
lust ended for a convincing proof that
they pay far in excess of the cost of the
service in rates Here are the revenues

Harmon and 1896.

Chairman Nugent of the democratic
state central committee of Idaho is with
in his rights in opposing Gov. Harmon for
President, but he should state his case
in the language of moderation and with
regard to the record. AS member or
Mr.. Cleveland's cabinet the Buckeye
statesman did bolt the democratic ma
tional ticket in 1896, but the influence of
the office of Attorney General in his
hands, far from being great was nil
1t did not change a single vote, unless it
was his own.
Mr. Harmon was called to the attorney
generalship from a prominent place at
the Cincinnati bar He had no political
influence whatever His whole time had
been given TO mis- profession.
In office Mr.. Harmon acquired no po-
litical influence. He acquired merely a
name in political circles. And there was
no criticism of him as a party man UNI
til the episode of 1896. Then. as the
Bryanites held, he should have retired
from the cabinet, as Hoke Smith did, and
bowed to the partys action. But he
kept his place, and was counted in the
equation against Mr.. Bryan.
This is not to plead that Mr.. Harmons
OHenSe was SUCH d NIUE Ollt, Dut OUlS
to present it in its true proportions. Mr..
Nugent would magnify it; would give the
impression to the democrats of Idaho
that Mr.. Harmon in that campaign was
a towering figure and largely responsible
for Mr.. Bryan's defeat. He did his little
best against his party, but that was all.
The story of the bolt by Mr.. Cleveland
and his cabinet of Mr. Bryan, and it's
consequences on individual fortunes, is
we'll known. Hoke Smith was the only
one who obeyed the party's call; and had
he not done SO a political future in
such a state as Georgia would have been
impossible. Mr.. Cleveland, Mr.. Olney,
Mr.. Carlisle, Mr.. Herbert, Mr.. Lamont
and Mr.. Morton all retired from politics.
Mr.. Francis of Missouri, who succeeded
Mr.. Smith as Secretary of the Interior,
queered himself with his party at home
by that act. He has had no influence
since, and in his race for the Senate
against Mr.. Reed was easily beaten. The
record of 1896 hobbled him.
When Mr.. Harmon retired from the
attorney generalship he probably had no
thought of ever re-entering politics. He
returned to the law, and the political
world had quite forgotten him when a
situation arose in Ohio which induced
him to try for the governorship. To
the country's surprise, he was elected,
and last year, on the strength of one
good term. got another. The issues in
both campaigns We're local. and the bolt
of 1896 did not figure at ALL Now, how
ever, when the presidency is under con-
sideratiOn and national issues and rec
ords are in order. what occurred in the
first Bryan campaign is much to the
point.

Multiplying Services.

From the New York Tribune.
The demand for services which every
one a few years ago was perfectly will
ing to get on without is one of the most
powerful factors in the individual OF
family expense account. Purchasers OF
food want its purveyors to put it up in
neat pasteboard packages where few
years ago they were satisfied to have i,
scooped from a big box or barrel by the
grocer. They pay handsomely for this
service. The carrying home of parcels
has become an extinct practice. The
free" delivery has spread everywhere
even to the country. And the public
pays for it. 1t is useless to multiply in
stances. The performers of most of these
services take their pay with the utmOs,
delicacy, indirectly. The checker of hats
and coats exacts his with wanton inso-
Ience in that most offensive form. the
''gratuity'' that is extOrted by social Oh
moral duress.

has been waiting for some weeks, for an

beginning of this discussion of the water
rates increase proposal that the District
should be charged, at least on the BOOKS

missioner Judson means now when, to
make it appear that the water consumers
even with the increased rates. are paying
for their water at less than cost price,
he says that interest is "of course to be
included in the computation of cost?
Even though the rates remain less here
than elsewhere, the District consumer Will
not be solaced by the reflection, for ne
knows perfectly well that the rates else
where are high because, in many cases,
local government costs more, being on a
professional political basis, with much
graft and corruption. Should the local
water consumers pay a higher rate SIM
ply because they have clean government
here? And one more question. How can
it be possible to raise over SlUOW ad-
ditional revenue from the rates, approx
mately 20 per cent of years income,
from two-thirds of the water consumers
one-third paying the old rates-without
imposing Hardship?
