O'Gorman for Senate Leader?

In declining the suggestion OF his name
in connection with the Syracuse nomina-
ton for governor, Mr.. O'Gorman declared
that nothing could induce him to leave
ais place in the Senate. Does he like 1t
all the better because Of Mr.. Wilson 8
bright prospects for the presidency?
Mr. Wilson will need what is known
as a spokesman in that body. Mr.. Mar
tine would hardly fill the bill. and Mr..
Hughes will be but a baby senator. Able
as he may be. he could not hope to hans
his hat on the peg and go straight to
the democratic leadership. He will have
to wait awhile for honors.
While II is true that Mr.. O'Gorman is
not veteran member. and has his spurs
yet to win, he is recognized as man
of ability. and he enjoys some conse-
auence because Of being a New Yorker.
He is one of Mr.. Wilson's closest advis-
ers. and 1t may be that he is hoping to
speak as senator for the new admin

ploW Pit Dangers.

There is. of course, no way to make
work in the pillow pits OF the local street
railway lines where there is need to change
from the underground to the overhead
trolley absolutely safe for the men who
shift the plows. They will always be
chiefly responsible for their own safety,
but the operating companies can lessen
the danger by compelling the observance
OF certain rules For example. 1T should
be an inviolable regulation that only one
car shall be allowed to stand over the
plow pit at any time. the car first

struction of the eastbound motorman but
accepted by the westbound motorman as
intended for him. With only one car over
the pit there can be no such confusion,
and at least one element of danger Is
eliminated. This rule is in vogue at some
of the pillow pits, but not at ALL In this
connection 1t might be suggested that
half of the pillow pit danger could be
avoided by the adoption of self-detaching

to the tariff Mr.. Martin was not sound

is not sound now.. from the revenue tariff
point Of view. Virginia has stake in
the protection game. and when the game
opens in Congress next year her senior
senator will be on hand to look out for
her interests.
The Wilsonites will need good man
in the Senate-one i'm thorough sympathy
with their chief. In his duel with the
Senate eighteen years ago, Mr.. Cleveland
suffered for want of a first-class spokes-
man in that body. The strongest forces
on the democratic side of the chamber
were opposed to him. Mr.. Gray Of Della
ware and Mr. Villas of Wisconsin were
able men and his friends, but neither
was debater of power. and both lacked
personal popularity. Mr.. Hill. Mr.. Cor
man. Mr. Vest. Mr. Harris of Tennessee
and Mr.. Jones of Arkansas were the
men who did things. and they took
great pleasure in doing" Mr.. Cleveland.
The result was a defeat for Mr.. Cleve-
land on the tariff question: and after that
was administered the President stumbled
along until in the end he fell. never to
rise again.
Speaking in the Senate for national
administration and herdihg followers in
good order may be set down as big
job: and if Mr.. O'Gorman undertakes it
he will find his hands full. Readiness in
debate. diplomacy in consultation and
finesse in parliamentary tactics will be
required. and physical strength enough
to work twenty-sX out Of the twenty

Blue Law Absurdity.

Some extremely foolish things have
been done during the past few months in
Montgomery county, Md. in the enforce
ment of the old blue laws which prohibit
work and entertainment on Sunday, but
the height of absurdity was reached yes
terday when two railroad track gangs. at:
work near Rockville in repairing the
Baltimore and Ohio roadbed, which had
been badly washed by the recent heavy
rains. were arrested and taken to the
county seat. One is at loss to under
stand the reasoning which may have
seemed to justify the sheriff of the county
in moving thus to put an end to work
that was distinctly designed for the safe
guarding of human life Is he trying to
make the blue laws supremacy ridiculous
and bring about their repeal? If so. he
is taking a fairly certain course. That
would be the most charitable view to
take of his conduct, and yet heavy risk
was run in checking work on the tracks
which the judgment of those trained in
such matters declared to be necessary. 1t
is announced that the officials of the rail-
road company will insist upon trial of
these cases so that the applicability of
the law to such a form of manual labor
on Sunday may be fully tested. If it
should prove to be the view of the courts
that the old law applies to work on rail-
roads deemed essential to the mainte-
nance of safety it will be necessary to OBJ
tain its repeal. for it can hardly be con-
ceived that the state Of Maryland will be
willing to allow such a statute to remain
in force and prevent even so necessary
form of work as the repair of railroad
tracks in an emergency. The most stren-
uous advocate of Sunday rest laws can
hardly justify SO extreme an applica-
ton. save on the ground that all rail-
road transportation should be stopped alb
solutely on Sunday. Even in Connecticut,
where the bluest of the old blue laws
were once in force. and where remnants
of them are still applied, railroad trains
are permitted to run between church
services.

The Boss-Boss and Syracuse.

As people, We are copying an illus
trious example, and moving in a mys-
terious way our wonders to perform
The stentorian cry of the day is. Down
with the bosses We are told that the
one-man power. i'm city. county. state. or
national affairs. leads to maladministra-
ton and corruption. Instances are given
Names are mentioned. If We would have
good government and secure good men
for office. We must put the bosses. big and
. little absolutely out of business. and take
matters into our own hands. Hoopla!
And yet what do we see? new party
socketed in bossism. and one of the old
parties being driven to the same fate.
The so-called progressive party is boss
ism personified. 1t was called into exist
ence by one man. If he We're to die to-
morrow ii would go to pieces. If it were
10 win he would rule it with rod of
iron. The new party is Roosevelt, and
Roosevelt is the new party. Never in our
history before has there been such an
exhibition of boss-ship. The Platts. the
Quays. the Hannas. were parochial by
comparison with the boss of the progress
i've party.
The democratic party has become in
fected. Its Crokers. and Murphys. and
Taggarts. and Sullivans. and Jim Smiths
are little fellows by comparison with
what Woodrow Wilson will become if his
lieutenants can secure all the power they
are seeking for him. They not only want
the presidency, but control by him of
both Senate and House. Democratic ma
tonal legislators must be Endorsed by
him. Democratic candidates for state
Offices should bear his hallmark. And so
on. Mr. Wilson is to bestride the party
like colossus.
We all know what sort of boss Mr..
Roosevelt is when i'm Office. When the
reins are put into his hands he drives.
When there is no road he makes one.
When there is road he clears it for his
own purposes And he makes Jordan a
very hard road for other folks to travel.
a rough journey We should have for the
next four years with him on the box
again. Fortunately, he cannot get there.
Mr.. Wilson's prospects today are bright.
and the fact lends interest to the inquiry
as to what sort of boss-boss he will make.
If he reaches the presidency the scepter
will be placed in his hands. and all the
little bosses required to bow down before
him. They must crook their knees in
order that patronage may follow fawning.
Is the present war really on bosses, or
only Oh little bosses? Is the aim boss
trust-many bosses in one?

Evening Schools.
lie Springfield Republican.

From the Springfield Republican.
Pittsburgh is to begin at the close Of
the present month what is described as
the most deliberately equipped and ex-
tensive system of free evening schools
ever attempted in a great city. There
will be no entrance examinations. no re-
strictiOn as to age save the. minimum
limit of fourteen years, and the range OF
subjects offered is said to be the largest
ever given IN an evening school. A spe-
cialty, of course, will be made of English
courses for foreigners, but much atten-
ton will be given to instruction in for
eign languages. which will be taught in
as thorough and practical a way as pos
sible, and a feature will also be made
of training applicants for positions in the
civil service. The evening high schools
will include a commercial department,
with shorthand and typewriting, and, of
course, much attention will be given to
cooking and sewing for girls and wood
and meta. work for boys. Nothing is
lacking except a provision Of leisure for
the people who work hard all day. Some
can endure an evening of study after
their toll, but some of the most promis-
ing young people are unable to carry the
double load, and there is need for the
part-time system as well as for the even
ing school.
