The killing of the gambler,
Rosenthal, in New York, and
the investigation that follows
it, shows how corruptIy large
cities are misgoverned. The
evidence already in is that
more than two million dollars
annually is paid to the police
by gamblers and housesof i'll
fame for protection
Rosenthal threatened tore
port thepolice Connection with
the gamblers and was killed
to keep him from so doing.
The investigation promises
to bring some of the highest
o fcials Of the city into the
graft.
This state Of affairs is
more or less the condition Of
all our large cities, and it is
time that some steps be TAX
en- to prevent this. Take
the power of police appoint
ment out of politics and put
it in the hands Of a body like
the county council that gov
erns London.

But the system is doomed.
By one of the ironies of fate
the first serious blow to the sys-
tenn comes from a man that the
system has done most for. In
destroying the republican party
Roosevelt, himself the paumper-
ed pet eff plutocracy, opens the
way for socialism. The Bull
Moose party will have a social
istic platform, but il will not at
tract socialists because of the in
sincerity of Teddy. But the
campaign will educate millions,
and after the passing away of
the old republican party (the
present republican party will
never again be a factor in Amer
can politics), the Bull Moosers
will disintegrate because of the
selfish ambition of its leaders,
and the socialist idea will tri-
umph. Democracy and socialism
will be the dominant parties and
democracy will only retard the
adoption of socialism so that il
will be gradually ushered ia.

the doorstep of that cabin
sat a littlefgirl, about IL or
old, but looked much
older. Her little pinched
form was clothed in rags OF
the most squalid. kind. Her
bare toes protruded from
what had once been a pair
Of shoes several sizes too
large for her. There were
tear-stains on her little wea-
zened face and her appear
ance and her environment
indicated that she was the
victim of extreme proverty
and ill treatment combined.
On the train were two
sportily dressed young men.
They were seated on the side
next to the log cabin and OF
course their attention was
directed to the little Cir
sitting on the doorstep. The
attention of every one on
that side of the coach seemed
to be riveted upon her, but
widely different were the i'm
pressions she seemed to make
upon the passengers. Many
expressions ofsympathy were
heard among those who
looked upon the abject little
form, more than one voice
became husky and in the eyes
of others were traces of
tears.
But how about the two
young men? This is what
they said in part: "My Goo
Bill, look yonder, where's
your kodak" 'tThe Devil,
Sam, dye think I'd risk a
camera Of mine before such
an object as that?" 'Why
if we had a picture of that
to take back to the city we
could make a barrel of
dough" with it. "Bet you
wouldn't let your girl catch
you whit, Ell, Sam?" Nope
but I'd show it to your girl,
Bill, and tell her that she'd
better look to her laurels;
that you were very much
smitten with the little
Mountain Rose. :" "Say Sam,

notice those shoes?" ''Guess
she belongs to the back to

Christ! she wont have to
travel very for to get back

outfit she has on.
These and many other like
expressions fell from the lips
of the two 1--WE will say
thoughtless) young men.
We cannot believe that any
one is so utterly lacking in
human sympathy as to DELHI
erately sheer at and make
fun of the unfortunate and
poverty stricken. 1t was
fortunate for the little cir
that she could not hear the
remarks of the two young
men. Already her burden
seemed as great as she could
bear, and to have added one
iota to her suffering would

DELAWARE'S WOMEN

A notable gathering was the
Delaware State Federation of
Women's Clubs assembled at
Middletown! A big hall filled
with we'll dressed women with
just four men among them!
Ones first impression was that
of a fine display of millinery.
But one presently discovered
that beneath all those pretty hats
lay hidden something far more
serious than fashion, and as the
deeper significance of the gather
ing began to grip the beholder,
the language of Scripture took
on a new force, and one muttered
"terrible as an army with-bon-
nets!''
Then when in their reports,
chairman after chairman re.
counted the useful things her
club had done-all looking to
the physical, moral and intellec.
tual uplift of their several COM
munities, one began to appreci-
ate the mighty power for civic
good that this Federation of
Women's Clubs might become e in
our state.
1t was truly inspiring to catch
every now and again, the heroic
note of Duty that seemed to in
spire the speakers as they told Of
their altruistic labors to improve
their home towns and folk
better streets and sidewalks
cleaner homes-improvemenIs in
the public schools-public Ii.
braries ald all that.
THE TRANSCRIPT trusts that
this noble idea of service-the
most exalted privilege of the
Federated Women of Delaware
will, with the passing years,
more and more become their hon.
Ored characteristic.
Woman has ever been, under
God, first the Mother, then the
Priestess, and finally from in.
fancy to age, the Teacher OF the
race. Men, indeed, are largely
what their mothers, and their
wives make them. Her hand has
ever been the cunning moulder
of character, and of civilizations;
but in the past, the sphere Of her
usefulness has been sadly re.
stricted. Now the twentieth
century woman panoplied in all
her divinely bestowed gifts and
powers, and armed with all her
legal and political rights, will
enter upon a far larger and more
glorious career in city, state and
nation
