NEW YORK AND THE PORK BARREL.

Pork barrel legislation is favorite theme
for denunciaton ON the part of the New York
Journals but they are united in asking congress
to appropriate $34, 100000 for the Improvement
of New York harbor. The expenditure for gov
eminent buildings IN New York has reached fabu-
ions proportions. More money has been spent in
improving New York harbOr than on all the other
harbOrs OF the country put together New York
wants eevrything. New York does not want any
other Atlantic port improved Wall street being
interested only in railroads and in forcing the
commerce of the west to pass through New York
is opposed to the Lake-to-the- Mississippi canal
Wall street objects to improving waterways that
will transport produce and merchandise to tide
water at points other than New York That is
why the newspapers of the metropolis are forever
nveighing against appropriations for the improve
ment of other harbors and of rivers which do
not directly contribute to the commerce of New
York. OF course nearly every river and harbor
bill contains items which should be eliminated
but such items made the object of attack not
because they are "a waste of public money but be-
cause New York wishes to prevent the improve
ment of other harbors The motive prompts
the ceaseess attacks public building bills The
same spirit of sefshness is leading the effort to
close all the minis in the country save the one at
Philadelphia The district lying between Boston
and Hampton Roads wants all the navy Yards all
the gun plants and all the naval depots. That
district now has the National Military School
the Naval Academy, the War College the big qua
factories and foundries and other military facI-
ties calling for the expenditure of public money.
The fleets rendezvous and are provisioned there,
| and the bulk of the nations revenue is expended
there Yet the residents of that district complain
because small appropriations are asked for erect
ing public buildings in comparatively small places
III Wyoming Utah and Texas But they never
tell the reasons why buildings in such places
are required The buildings may not be absolute
ly necessary but there is reason
them aside from the desire to get slice of pork

sTEPHENsoN's SPOTTED ToGA.

The senate ought to say just where it will
draw the dead line election expenses. If
Stephenson Of Wisconsin did not get to it with his
total of 100000, his colleagues ought to say
when" for some of the rest of us are likely to
want to get into the senate one of these days and
if the Limit is the blue sky we will prepare for
it accordingly.
1t may be that no ease of absolute bribery or
corruption could be traced to the election of the
octogenarian from Wisconsin whose millions made
in business paved the way to his seat at Washing
ton. BY ovte of 40 to "a the senate said So Yet
there is much force in the declaration of Senator
Works that the mere fact that Stephenson con
fessed to such expenditure is in itself an effort
to corrupt the whole electorate There may be a
thousand men of superior ability and patriotic pur
poses in the state of Wisconsin, and with the am
btion to wear the toga but without the means to
build up such an organization as Stephenson s
money constructed. The fact that they are of linn
tied means not only denies them the possibility of
satisfying noble ambition for it is noble am
btion i'll any man to seek public place for what he
may accomplish there for the state. but it denies
the state the benefit of their superior service For
nobody has risen to declare that Stephenson has
accomplished anything
Senator Works might have gone further: He
might have said that the evidence proved that the
manner Of Stephenson's election proved him un-
fitted and incapable of discharging the duties Of
senator The country would have approved that
verdict even though a case of specific corruption
bad not been established, as it perhaps was not

On December End, 1911 the "Mu-

published an article entitled, THE
Crisis In the Piano Industry" Space
does not permit the reprint OF the
whole splendid publication, but we
feel In duty bound to quote a few
paragraphs illustrating the issue.
The Music Trade writes:
whether It Id generally known
or accepted, a crisis has been reach
ed in the piano industry, both for
the reputable manufacturer or deal
er, whatever the grade OF instru-
ment made or handled, and unless
those who are Interested Necause or

work together to meet the issue
which has come, the prosperity OF
the business is not only seriously
threatened, but will rapidly decline
and become a thing of the past.
what / refer to as threatening
the prosperity of the industry are
the disreputahle methods used today
by the adyenturers and parasites
who have come into the trade. OF
whose metnods the innocent

reputable manufacturers and decent,
honest dealers suffer as well.

throughout the country are taking
the position that the solution OF the
fraudulent advertising situation is
largely up to them, and already o
number OF steps have been taken In
various states by which the adver-
Using men themselves hope to purge
the newspaper advertising columns
of statements which mislead the
public.
A a meeting held a short time
ago In New York City. the President
OF one OF the leading factories point
ed to the issue as follows:
There is another undesirable
form OF piano advertising. i refer

an executive session and then an
nounced by unanimous vote that they
had dispensed with the services Of

J.. b. Sheridan. the Burns stenograph-

TINT the notes were absolutely accu-
rate, produced the dictagraph before

made damaging admissions.
There Was a furry In the committee
after Sheridan left the witness chair.
The attorneys for Lorimer insisted that
Blumenberg be called as a witness at
once before the Lorimcr witness took
the stand.
The situation created by the startling
charges made by Blumenberg Saturday
night and his action. which broke up
the hearing. is one Of the most remark

OF congress. The committee. will I'M
