things than any man. old or young, and
no matter how honest and sincere, could
possibly produce. He can. therefore. but
do his best with his opportunity. and
trust to luck to have 1t satisfy COM
munity keyed up to an exacting pitch oy

Another danger lies in the fact that,
although elected by a non-partisan move
ment to discharge non-partisan duty
in a non-partisan way. Mr.. Mitchell Is q
democrat, and there are men OF that
party who will look to him for aid OF
some kind in the effort to clean the
democratic house In the state. He Is
Wilson man, and had the sympathy OF
the national administration In the may
orally race. He is politically ambitious,
and it is believed has his eyes peeled for
Albany.
As mayor he will have a great deal OF
patronage to distribute, and the way IN
which he does that may afford line
for speculation on the chances OF his
success in Office.

Wilson and Bryan.

President Eliot of the National Civil
Service Reform League errs in making a
difference between President Wilson and
Secretary Bryan in the matter of the
distribution of the diplomatic patronage
The two officials have acted together. and
after consultation. They are in the same
boat. To commend one and censure the
other is unfair.
If il is true. as charged. that the pat
ronage has been used to pay political
debts, those debts were not Mr.. Bryans.
There are friends of his among the min
listers appointed, but the larger and more
important officials-the ambassadors-are
all Wilson men. and rendered Mr.. Wilson
service in last years campaign. Mr.
Page at London, Mr. Gerard at Berlin,
Mr. Willard at Madrid, Mr.. Morgenthau
al Constantinople Mr.. Guthrie at Toxic,
and Mr. Page at Rome. were selected by
Ny. Wilson, not by Mr.. Bryan. 1t was
Mr. Wilson who several times made the
tender of the Paris post to Chairman
McCombs of the democratic national CON-
nittee. and if Mr.. Pindel1 goes TO ST
Petersburg il will be because he was
Wilson advocate in Illinois when they
were scarce.
X is TO be doubted if Mr.. Wilson and
Mr. Bryan differ at ali on the subject of
evil service reform. out OF office both
have said pleasant things about the merit
system. In office both have felt pressure
from sources that would do away with
tie system. OF the two. Mr.. Bryan has
probably had the more TO contend with.
He accumulated great many followers
during his sixteen years of national lead
ership. whereas Mr.. Wilson has been en-
ployed but two years in building up his
machine When March 4 dawned, the
original Bryan men must have been far
hlIngrier and thirstier and far more nu-
merous than the original Wilson men,
But. before this time. civil service re-
formers in office have been lectured by
reformers out of office. That was one
of the troubles Mr.. Cleveland encountered.
He. too. had pointed out 10 him in tart
terms by the National Civil Service Re-
form League, Carl Schurz presiding, the
difference between his professions and
performances which at times were
broad But he answered very frankly,
and pointed out in reply the difference
between theory and condition. When
ont of office and seeking office he had
found himself able to be more aggressive
for reform than later. when, in office, he
had TO endure the pressure conferred on
party chief from a thousand sources.
Mr. Wilson and Mr.. Bryan are working
together, in this matter as in other mat
ters Let them not be divided. If win
ming is scored, they will share the credit;
II a failure, the discreditI DIR. Eliot is
not a conspirator, but If he were. and
moving on the works of the admnistra-
ton for the purpose OF destroying it. he
would find his present means suited to his
hand and object.

In statuary hall youth find,
Immovabe and all serene
Some patriots of mighty mind
Whose lives made bright this earthly
scene.
They have been there for many days,
Our admiration deep to claim
AS long tomorrows go their ways
They'll be on duty, still the same.
The statesman's life they typify
Where mileage is, alas, unknown,
Though sad constituents may sigh
With welcoming hopes all overthrown.
Where sessions come and sessions go,
With recreation all denied,
They stand, a grand impressive show
OF patriotism petrified!

No Fire Hose in Binghamton Fac
tOrv,

Binghamton, July 25.-At the coro-
ner's inquest this morning into the
Overall Factory fire in which 60 lives
were lost, it was developed there was
only one fire escape on the building and
no fire hose of any kind.
Alfred Decker who rang the alarm
swore that neither the foremen or the
forewomen had been taught the sue
cessive steps in the fire drill and there
was delay of fully minute between
sounding the alarm and the appearance
of the first girl on the stairs.
Testimony was given that refuse was
kept in bags at the foot of shute in
the cellar that every man did his own
sweeping and the bags were allowed to
collect
Frank Freeman insisted that the fire
did not start on shelf beside the stair
way but on the floor beneath and d.
rectly contradicted other witnesses on
this point.

From all over the country reports
come showing that the Progressive
party is not only holding its strength
but is gaining. This is not difficult to
understand to one who is familiar with
the principles and purposes of the party.
This new party is serious matter and
there are a lot of fine people connected
with it-men of high ideals who are
sincere and unselfish in their devotion
to the principles of good government
The Republicans never let an opportuni-
ty pass to belittle the Progressive
strength and this is natural. But the
Republicans are now simply fooline
themselves and when the time comes
around for concerted action they will
find it so. Just watch out and see. -

Tries to Run Down Cripple.

Joseph Young, a butcher, 40 years of
age, of 1888 Jamaica avenue, claims
that while waiting for a trolley car, at
the corner of Suydan street Wednesday
evening, the operator of an autotruck,
the number of which witness OBJ
tanned, deliberately tried to run him
down.
Young, who is a cripple, was return
ing from an outing of the William
Straus association of Woodhaven, which
was held at Colonial park, Richmond
hill. The trolley had stopped, he says,
and he was about to enter, when the
auto came along and failed to stop as
the law demands. He called the opera
tor to account for this, and for an an
swer one of the occupants is alleged to
have said, 'We'll run you down any
way" The auto was backed and the
cripple had to jump aside. 1t was then
put ahead, directly at him.
Cries of Shame" from the occupants
of the trolley car saved Young, but one
of the men in the auto jumped out and
started to strike him. Interference on
the part of the witnesses just kept
Young from what would probably have
been a severe beating. The assalants
sprang into the auto and escaped.
The witness who said he got the num-
Der of the car is julius Bacher of 211
Clinton place, Woodhaven. Young has
not decided what action he will take.
His assaiants may have charges Of as
sault and violating a city ordinance
brought against them. - Brooklyn
