Grand Opera bv Wholesale.

Oscar ITammerstein should be
named the unquenchabie impresario.
He started grand opera in New York,
Philadelphia and Chicago and lost
out. That would have finished most
men, but not the interchangeable Oscar,
He made still bigger try and went
to London. Again his receipts
failed to Keep step with his outlay.
Does he quit with this supreme de-
feat? Not al all. Now he proposes
to build a chain of opera houses In
American cities outside Of New
York, Philadelphia and Chicago
He doubtless would include these
also but for his contract made on
selling out his first venture.
Many men make success step
ping stone to larger success, but this
irrepressible Oscar makes failure a
stepping stone to larger failure,
shall we say No; that Is hardly
lair, shall his ventures have not
been failures in the larger sense.
They have entertained thousands
and have popularized grand opera
And in the end his efforts may
flower into financial as we'll as

marked success ever since Augustus
Caesar was senior in college.
September is the first month o.
autumn and is regarded with affee
tioa by all people who haven't been
able to spend the summer at the

great relief, bur to the man who has
concealed his family in a summer re-
sort for three months il consists
mostly OF overdue bilis and frantic

In September colleges begin to be-
come feyerlsh again and violate the

THE BECKER VERDICT

IT T was with choking voices and even with sobs that the
twelve jurors in the trial of Lieutenant Becker for the
murder of Herman Rosenthal, when their verdict was
poled, pronounced him guilty of murder in the first degree.
Their emotion attested their absolute conviction of his guilt
and their profound sense of the duty they were called upon to
perform, a duty nobly performed, for it was done with the
knowledge that it was attended by some personal risks. That
The verdict was a just one no man who read the evidence IN the
trial can doubt. Becker's counsel will take the usual course,
an appeal to the higher courts, but so carefully did Justice
Golf conduct the trial, and yet with such resolute promptness
in his decisions, that it does not seem probable the ap
pelate Judges will interfere with the verdict, except for i'm
perative reasons that do not now appear in the record OF the
trial. The Importance of this case TO the administration OF
criminal Justice in New York and to the welfare and honor of
the city cannot be exaggerated. The mere killing of a gambler
was an ordinary crime, but in that act was involved the In
teqrity of police protection in New York, the corrupt licensing
of vice and crime, the safety of human life and the security of
property, and the employment of the police power in hiring
desperate criminals to murder men who should attempt to give
evidence against corrupt police officials. The trial of Becker
was a crisis in the history of the metropolis, and every good
citizen has reason today to be thankful that there We're twelve
men in the jury box with the conscience and courage to be
equal to it.

During the former administration
of Mr.. Cardwell the salaries were

Gregory's administration the salaries
will amount to over $11, 900, an in
crease of 70 per cent.

they do. they show it from the view

How the Campaign Progresses
Progressive Democratic Republican
IS TARGET
FOR GOV. JOHNSON
Declares Democratic Nominee
Misrepresents Bull Moose
on Trust Stand.

HARRISBURG. Pa, Oct. 25.-That
Governor Wilson and his advocates
have misrepresented the attitude OF
the Progressive party toward the
trusts was the charge made here by
Governor johnson in a speech at the
auditorium. An enthusiastic throng
escorted him through a rain to the
hall.
1.-THE Democratic candidate for
President and his advocates persis-
tently repeat and widely disseminate
a statement In regard to our attitude
on the trusts that is without founda-
ton and which does not rise above
mere Misrepresentation" he declared.
"They assert that we intend to
legallze monopoly. This is the YER
lest nonsense. We propose to utilize
every law that exists for the repres-
sion and suppression of the trusts
and Their by other enactments supply
any deficiencies and in the very law
itself to lay down certain require
ments and then have the industrial
commission that we propose see that
the trusts live up to these require
ments. We expect to put the very
requirement in the law itself.
What Mr.. Wilson intends to do, no
one knows, and thus far Mr.. Wilson
has not told, and those who are max
ing the contest in his behalf content
themselves with glittering general
ties, ~resounding p~latitudes and alb
stractions stated in metaphor. They
point the awfulness of trusts, the
wrong accomplished, the tyranny and
the like and then misstate our posi-
ton. Indeed, much do they a
about prosecution and failing offend
ers. and yet, with criminal laws ex-
listing in New Jersey, no trust mag
nate has either been prosecuted or
jailed by Mr.. Wilson.
This campaign has been rendered
memorable by the mastery inactiv-
ity of Mr.. Wilson and by the fact
that ne has gone through a presiden-
tial struggle without a definite state
ment upon a single proposition. ex-
cept his denunciation of a minimum
wage for women; and nothing better
illustrates his set purpose in the
campaign than his generalities and
platitudes concerning trusts and tar
if without really a definite statement
in regard to either"

TAFT SENDS AN APPEAL
TO NORTHWEST FARMERS

BEVERLY, Mass. Oct. 35.-Presi-
dent Taft has made public a special
appeal to farmers of Minnesota and
the Northwest to remain true to
their Republican beliefs of past cam
paigns. The political arguments sub
mitted for consideration OF rural vot-
ers were advanced in a letter which
the President sent to Governor A. o.
Eberhart, of Minnesota. stating that
while the Republican party had not
made the sun shine or the crops to
grow, it@had beer responsible for the
prevailing good markets. He declared
that the contest was between the Re-
publican and Democratic parties.
The letter says in part:
II feel confident that the voters OF
Minnesota will appreciate the shall
lowness OF the attack upon our insti-
tutions, and win not be swayed by
the promise of underlined benefits
which are 10 follow underlined changes.
1t does not require the eye of a witch
to see tina closed factories In Massa-
chusetts and Ohio mean a diminished
demand for the farm products OF the
! Northwest. We cannot strike down

bringing disaster 10 all the people,

true sense TO be hostile to the pTos-
perky Of amy part Of TIE county.

n I would be worth easily $780, 100000 to New Jersey to get rid

MIDDLE WEST FOR WILSON,

ing against him for Wilson, is the
advice being received daily by
Chairman McCombs, of the Demo-
cratic National Committee.
Wilson leaders in Ohio, Kansas. IL
llnois and Pennsylvania are positive
in their declaration that the political
battle has been already won in their
States, and that the Jersey COVER
nor has "a wonderful lead over all
of his opponents.
"These States, which are claimed
by Wilson henchmen," declared Mr..
McCombs, "have been the rock
ribbed strongholds of Republicanism,
and their change may be taken as
a prediction of what the result OF
the coming election will be.
"Their shift in political faith seems
incredible. and 'Taft's own is a sur
prise to ALL
