THE BLIGHT OF 1T.

There is nothing that takes away
the common sense Of a respectable
citizen like politics. We have known
men who have been staunch and staid
friends for years. One would suppose
that nothing could disturb the rela-
tions existing between them. We have
known one of them to become "a can
didate for some Office and then either
because his lifelong friend had hesi-
tated little about voting for him, or
i had not given him the ardent support
he thought he deserved, we have
known this man to turn upon his life
long friend and abuse him in a merci-
less fashion. We know Of an instance
lnow where an old man is runnig for
office in Wichita. We know Of man
who has always been his friend; the
families of these two men have been
friends; and yet, because of some pure
ly misguided instinct on the part OF the
candidate. mingled with the impat-
fence which goes with old age, he has
concluded that his friend Is not for
him. and he has been going about tell
ing of the favors he did for his friend
and his friends family many, many
years ago. There is nothing so pitiful
as the political obsession which at
tacks the mind of the candidate. The
pitiful cases of anger and enmity that
arise out of political ambition cause
more tragedies among the friendships
of the world than either love or busi-
ness.
A candidate becomes at sonce a sus-
picious person, and every man who
Is not for him Is against him. He is
the only one who takes himself and his
candidacy with tragic seriousness and
therefore the viewpoint he gets of the
situation is not calculated to make
him fair or to .ereate an even, temper
ate disposition We would rather sleep
all night in swamp infested by Jer-
sey mosquitoes than to endure the
slings and arrows and irritations which
make the candidates life miserable
while it lasts, and leaves him. when it
is over. with bad taste and bitter
hatred Beacon.

Shepard and William f. Sheehan
were the United States senatorial
candidates about whom discussion
centered tonight.
CHARLES f. Murphy, the Tammany
leader, said the New York county or
ganization is opposed to Mr.. Shepard,
but on the heels of his statement came
the letter made public In New York
by Mayor Gaynor, endorsing Mr.
Shepard in the heartlest terms.
No statement or interviews ap-
peared In Mr., Sheehans behalf, al
though he was here and attended a
conference held tonight by Mr.. Muir
ply and others.
When a report that the elimina-
ton of Mr. Shepard as Tammany

favorite In that quarter was submit
ted to Mr.. Murphy. he refused to
commit himself in favor OF Mr. Shee-
han or any one else. Mr.. Sheehan
would say nothing for publication.
Mr.. Murphy's declaration against
Mr. Shepard was ampllfied here to-
night
There Is no sentiment for Mr.
Shepard in the New York county or
ganization." he said
Does this eliminate Mr.. Shepard
from the running?" he was asked.
"As far as We are concerned, yes, =
lreplied he. There is no sentiment
for Mr.. Shepard except among those
who usually vote the republican
ticket"
Does that mean that you are fol
MIR. Sheehan?"
I'VE haven't got to that" he an.
swered. 1T Is a matter for the or.
ganization to decide"
Mr.. Murphy later sent word to tho

Cincinnati, Jan. 1i.--A reeapltula-
tion OF the losses OF life In the fire
that wiped out the Chamber of Com
meree building here last night shows
that six men are among the missing
and fully sixty persons sustained in
juries, The value OF property de-
stroyed Is about three quarters OF q
million dollars, covered by insurance.
The walls Of the building which
have been tottering all day were
braced. but the fire which Is smould-
ering In the ruins prevents any search
for bodies, II may be days before
any Of these are recovered,
The cause of the sudden collapse
of the roof was explained when the
peculiar construction OF the building
was noted. The three top floors were
suspended from steel girders which
in turn We're braced by the outside
walls.
When the heat from the interior
fire reached the steel girders the king
bolts gave way, the outer walls bull
ged and the three top floors entirely
unsupported, crashed downward to
| the basement.
| The sixth name was added to the
| list OF missing and probably dead to-
| night when II became known that no
trace had been secured of George
Hayman a reporter on the Cincinnati
Enquirer who entered the building
shortly after the fire broke out.
| Hayman who, was on duty for his
paper went into the building before
the roof collapsed. His associates are
convinced that he was trapped In the
place.
