sULZER AND MAYNARD.

Our neighbor "The Times is anxious
TO persuade the voters not ito fix an
"unswerving gaze upon the earlier and
'Iess notable years" of Mr.. Suffers
career. In this it is wise; for the more
closely an observers gaze is fixed on
those earlier years the more clearly
are they seen to be not so much lacking
in note as filed with acts quite incom-
patible with the political standards
long advocated by our contemporary.
In those earlier years, for instance.
occurred the Democratic theft of the
Legislature of 1892, theft which
aroused the whole state to indignation
when the facts were revealed and
drove from public life every man con-
nected with it and almost every apollo
gist for them. Obedient 10 an order
from the Supreme Court, the County
Clerk Of Duchess County mailed to
the Controller and other state officers In
regular form the true record Of the vote
In that county. showing the election or
Republican Senator. If that record
had been placed before the State Board
Of Canvassers the Republican Senator
would have been declared elected and
Governor Hills attempt TO seize the
LEGISLATURE would have failed. On the
morning Of its arrival in the Con
trollers mail Isaac II. Maynard went TO
the finance department early. looked
over the letters before the clerks had
opened them and distracted from the
mail the envelope from the Duchess
County Clerk. so that the true return
did not reach the Controller. He also
secured the other copies from other
state officers and thus prevented The
record from being laid before the Board
of Canvassers, which canvassed false
return. for which its members were af-
terward punished for contempt OF
court. This false return meanwhile en-
abled Governor Hill to seize control C
the Senate, and he rewarded Maynard
for the theft with q scat In the Court
Of Appeals.
When this transaction was brought
to light Mr. Sulzer was member Of
Assembly and Tammany floor leader.
He rallied 10 the defence Of the thieves
and was at the time recognized as a
leading champion Of Hill and Maynard
in that body. It would be convenient
indeed TO avert the gaze from those
earlier years when be was an apollo
gist for election stealing and main
stay Of the notorious Hill regime. But
no statute Of limitations can make the
friend and defender of election thieves
At for Governor, Mt least when he has
never shown any sign of changed
heart and more enlightened conscience.
SO far as the public has ever learned,
Mr.. Sulzer still approves Judge May
nard's theft as a clever bit OF political
strategy and feels that instead OF being
condemned by public opinion and
driven from public life he was entitled
to praise for his smartness.

AN INSIDE VIEW.

Sheriff julius Hamburger, whose
right TO speak by the book on such mat
ters is not to be disputed, vigorously re
sents the pretence Of the up-to-conven-
tion-time anti Murphy newspapers that
Mr.. sulzer deserves their support be-
cause he is free from any association
with. or obligation to, Tammany. The
Sberifs methods Of reasoning are al
WAYS straightforward, and he cannot
understand or condone the sOphistica-
ton whereby the present nominee for
Governor is held to have become anti
Tammanyized and anti-Murphyized by
the mere fact Of being put at the head
of the state ticket. Mr.. Suffers record
as a Tammany off1ceholder runs back
over twenty years AS Mr.. Hamburger
pointedly inquiries. what did the SYRIA
cuse convention do to obscure or oblit-
crate that glorious record?
Sheriff Julius maintains with unan-
swerable logic that the nomination Of
Mr.. Sulzer by Tammany controlled
convention was the browning work of
"the greatest leader in the history of
'the forty-eight states and territories
"of the United States" Charles F.
Murphy. Croker was long good
enough" boss for the Man Who Looks
Like Clay. So is Murphy to-day, and
the intelligent public will agree with
Juliuss judgment that If Mr.. Sulzer
ever has a chance ito give the govern
ment back to the people" he will choose
Mr.. Murphy as the go-between through
whom the delivery is to be effected.
On the supreme test Of Tammanyism
Harburger and Sulzer are hearts that
beat as one Said the Sheriff to the
I unterrifed OF the Timothy d. Sullivan

ONE WAY OF BEING HUMANE

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The benefits to be derived from
occasional holidays can hardly be over
estimated, and it is a pity that they are
not more universally observed. The fact
that they are not is due almost entirely to
the thoughtless practice OF shopping at
those times.
Store open--rushlng business--close next
holiday? Never!
The people who do not get holidays are
nearly always tho hard working ones who
need them most II you are off Columbus
Day you will find plenty of stores open,
but in the name OF justice and humanity.
don't shop. Purchasing at night should
also be avoided. as it tends TO increase
the hours OF labor.
CONSIDERABLE SHOPPER.

MIsUsING PRESCRIPTIONS.

The recent report Of the Chicago Vice
Commission suggests the possibility of
measurably abating the various drug
habits and, better still, guarding against
their formation by q simple reform in
the manner of giving and filling pre-
scriptions. 1t seems to be indisputable
that many--tbe report says mOst--of
the habitual users Of cocaine and NOR
pbine get their supplies on physicians
prescriptions In some cases the pre-
seriptions are forged by the "fends"
themselves, and in some, we must hope
very few, INSCRIPTIONS physicians
for an extra fee give prescriptions for
the known purpose Of catering to drug
habits; but in most Of them the pre-
scription, at first given in good faith
for legitimate purpose, is refilled
again and again and becomes the means
Of procuring perennial supplies.
Now, this abuse could surely be
checked by the general application of a
rule which has already been to some
extent voluntarily applied by physicians
and pharmacists in New York. That IS.
for physicians, when in cases of neces-
sity prescribing cocaine, morphine,
choral or any drug with which dan
gerous habit may be formed, to mark
upon 1t the order Not to be refilled."
And Of course druggists should be for
hidden. under heavy penalty, to refill
any prescription so marked. That would
make 1t necessary for the patient to
procure a new prescription from the
doctor for each reflling, and so would
render the abuse OF a prescription is

Association: "Out of the 1O7 men I'M
der me every one of them is a Demo-
."crat, and ] removed every one, as
would do if / were the highest officer
'in the state, who was opposed to my
political principles
That is Mr.. Suffers platform also.
He said two years ago, after the Demo
cratic victory in this state:
We are the workers; we have won the
victory and I am a firm believer in the
doctrine ITO the victOrs belong the
spoils." When our party wins after a
strenuous battle there are men in our
ranks who can fill the offices.
That Is the incarnate spirit Of Tam
manyism. Sheriff Hamburger in his ex-
ultation might have been pardoned for
paraphrasing q famous remark Of Mr..
Bryan and exclaiming: Great is Tam
many and Sulzer is its prophet

quent them? This is question for seri-
Gus thought. They are the legalized meet
ing places for the gangs which infest the
neighborhood. Large girls who are ter
rors to the smaller ones, and whose Ian
guage Is often filthy beyond words, meet
wicked boys In these same grounds These
children by inheritance and environment
are OF the lowest order, apparently. II
is a question OF allowing these girls and
boys TO ruin the younger children The
situation Is quite different from that OF
the Board Of Education, where the recre-
alton Is limited to children OF a size and
within an inclosed room with adequate
protection and service.

GUIDES FOR THE WAYFARER,

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In a recent issue, In your usual
vein of encouragement TO municipal i'm
provement, you refer to the shortage
Of 81 per cent in necessary guideposts
and say that II Is time to devise a new
system and put all street signs In places
where they can easily be deciphered either
by day or by night"
Permit me to say In justice to the West
End Association. OF which am a member,
that after some years OF assduous effort
this society mas, in conjunction with the
city authorities. had placed samples OF
the very sign you say is needed, and this
same can be seen at the corner OF I'D
street and Amsterdam avenue, seth street
and Columbus Circle and 3sth street and
Fifth avenue. / wish some Of your pro-
gressive readers would examine these
signs and report In the press their opin-
ion OF the same, so that our city officials
may be encouraged TO place such signs as
these all over the city.

Now is the time for Governor Dix TO

incompetent; dismissing Waldo as Chief
OF Police. and his deputies. calling upon
John Purroy Mitchell to act as Mayor

The Secretary OF State OF Oregon has
just mailed to the voters OF that COM
monwealth a pamphlet Of 2GO closely
printed pages. describing the thirty
eight measures to be submitted to the
people next month under the opera
tons OF the initiative and referendum.
Even the oregon Legislature did not
have the hardhood to compel a voter
TO swear that he had read the 10000
words Of the pamphlet on penalty Of
losing his vote. Yet otherwise what
assurance could there possibly be OF
an electors willingness to qualify HIM

lator?

THE REAL ARTICLE.

The Democratic candidate for vice
President paid his first visit TO TINS
CITY on Friday, and his lambent and
epigrammatic speech in the Iarln
Chamber of Horrors proved veritable
oasis in the arid desert Of Wllsonlan
thought to which this section of the
country has unwillingly become accus-
toned. Governor Marshall, as The
Tribune has already remarked, is a
statesman who has passed the neDu-
lous stage and whose ideas are always
transferable into definite and clear-cut
phraseology. He is not afraid 10 let
the right brain lobe know what the
left brain lobe doeth.
In the Tariff Chamber Of Horrors he
breathed a congenial atmosphere, lor
his Imagination is surcharged with
what he considers the iniquit1es OF an
unconstitutional protective tariff. Un-
like Governor Wilson, Governor Mar
shall has the moral courage to race
the results Of the policy OF undoing
the work of protection. 1t Is one OF
manufacturers ought to be made 10
sell at home at the bargain rates
which they occasionally give when
"dump,ag" an embarrassing surplus
on a foreign market. Il am In favor
of a system" he said to the frequent
ers OF the Chamber of Horrors, which
"will make them sell their surplus at
"home and their regular product
abroad"
Naturally, If by taking off all pro-
lection the occasional exceptionally
low foreign price becomes the stand
ard home price. profits must decrease
and wages must decrease with them'
Some manufacturers might even decide
that Ii was better TO shut up shop
than TO continue producing at less
than cost. But Mr. Marshall is not
disturbed by such a possibility. he
believes that the strong arm or the
law may be invoked TO compel the
reluctant manufacturers to go anead
under penalty of criminal prosecution.
Out in Indiana, he says, if they begin
to talk about closing up they will get
into trouble with him and with the
legal authorities. AS he put 1t on
Friday:
They would better not prescribe their
threat to close the shops. 1t Is mace
criminal to do so by our corrupt prac-
tices act, and while am Governor that
act is going to be enforced without
fear or favor.
Putting the country on a free trade
basis is easy sailing according to the
Marshall Chamber Of Horrors plan.
The consumer is to get the benefit or
reduced prices and the cost OF the
reduction is to fall upon labor ana
capital in protected industries. If
workmen complain because they re-
ceiye less pay and manufacturers talk
of going out of business they will be
prosecuted on the ground that they
are irving to intimidate the voters.
They will be prosecuted for corrupt
practices If they insist that domestic
industry cannot be successfully main
tanned unless enough protection Is
given to equalize the differential in
cost between home labor and foreign
labor.
1t is easy enough to be a free trader
If YOU know bow. Governor Wilson
saws some days that there is no room
in this country for free trader. If
he wants to find out how mistaken
he is let him hold consultation with
the tail of the Democratic national
ficlypf
