plenty Of fresh air. Entertainments and
games are arranged for the children and

A CAMPAIGN NEEDED.

Discouragement on the part of those
who have been urging the Aldrich cur
rency and banking reform PLAN indi-
Gated by the lukewarmness Of the
bankers convention AT Detroit. is TO
be regretted. Conditions, Of course, are
not favorable for the adoption Of that
plan or any other with the Republican
party, from which currency reform WAS
TO be expected, split. and the Demo
cratic party in the control Of men upon
whom the recent years OF currency
education have made no impression.
But still progress has been made with
the public, if not with the politicians.
and continued urging Of the Aldrich
plan would serve to concentrate atten-
tion upon the actual defects Of our
present loose and disjointed system Of
localized banking.
Moreover, another advantage Of con-
tinuing the advocacy Of the Aldrich
plan would be 10 keep a definite pro-
posal before the country. II those who
have been pressing Tor It's adoption lose
interest in il the discussion will soon
become academic. All sorts Of absurd
suggestions will have the floor, as they
did before the Aldrich plan drove them
10 cover. Currency and banking are
not cOngenial topics or topics on which
the average man long retains ideas.
After a short period Of silence on the
subject the country will have to begin
with the A 3 C's Of It once more.
Besides, the best safeguard for bust
ness against foolish Bryanistic dealing
with this question, if there should be a
Democratic administration. would be a
united stand by the business and bank
ing interests Of the country in favor of
a definite plan.

NO IMPROPER DELAY YET.

District Attorney what would have

stay for that purpose and received

The defendant was entitled under the
law to an opportunity to collect the
evidence to be obtained in Hot Springs.
He should have all the necessary facil-
tiles for conducting his defence. He
should be tried promptly, but without
an appearance of haste or any attempt
10 rush him off his feet. The crime
was committed this summer, and If the
trial actually begins on the date now
set no one can justly complain that IT
has not been reasonably prompt.
Perhaps the feeling Of irritation at
the stay sprang from the fear that it
would prove the first of series Of

THE FIRST BLOW.

The Empire state Democracy, 50 far
as its Kings County organization is
concerned, is to be congratulated. There
they have stopped talking about fight
ing Murphy and Tammany Hall and
are taking the initial steps in doing 1t.
Candidates against the Murphy-Mc-
CoOey nominees are to be named by pc
tition in every Assembly district in the
county. There is to be no backing and
filing. no waiting to see If Murphy and
his section foreman" McCoOey, won't
have change Of heart and nominate
men with an outward veneer Of de-
cency and independence. The Empire
State Democrats know that whatever
change may seem TO come in the sentl-
ments and purposes Of the Tammany
outfit will he pure opportunism and
will have no beneficial effect on the po-
'ltical fortunes of the voters.
Constant and bitter fighting against
Murphyism, within the party organiza-
ton when possible, if necessary by sup
porting candidates opposed TO him, Is
the only kind Of Democratic reform
argument Murphy can understand. 1t
is indeed the loaded club of which
the founders of the Empire state De
mOcracy spoke so feelingly several
weeks ago. Defeat in primary. in con.
vention or at the election is the only
way to affect Murphy. Moral suasion
is as potent with him as ice cream with
mule. Under the circumstances, this
