TAMMANY DEFEATED.

For the time being at least, tne
power of Tammany, New York's great
political machine, has been broken.
| The elections Of Tuesday saw not only
the defeat Of the organizations candi'
date for the office Of mayor of New
I York City, but also the defeat OF most
OF It's candidates for other city and
state Offices. Apparently the voters OF
the Empire state had risen in their
might and cast off the chains welded
about them by the astute democratic
politicians lead by "Chief Charles
Murphy
The victory Of the fusionists meant
one thing above all others,-that the
people of New York are disguised at
the .rule or ruin" policy of the demo
fcratic organization. The public
chastisement of William Sulzer-his
1mpeachmest for failure to follow the
t"chief's" orders-was the straw that
broke the camel's back. Sulzer, who
It was proven beyond reasonable
doubt had misused his campaign fund
and had abused the confidence Of his
constituents, forgiven and sent
back to the state assembly as an ad.
Ided protest against the methods of the
democratic machine with which he had
fallen out.
But while the machine has been
seriously disabled, it is questionable
whether it Is out Of commission for
good. Provided the fusionists held to-
Fether and made it an issue between
good citizenship and the democratic
machine, the organization would
doubt ass die natural death. But
will the republicans and non-organ1za-
ton democrats stick together? II
they don't they will lose their strength.
One naturally asks where Tammany
gets it's strength if 1t is the obnoxious
machine that it is called. The answer
IS simple. Tammany's stock in trade
is gratitude and 1t has at its back
legions of New York residents who
care absolutely nothing about politics
but who will go to any extreme to aid
the organization which has befriended
them. For Tammany does befriend
all whom it can use. It's representa-
tives are legion and they are on the
lookout all the time to make friend
and tool for Tammany.
If man gets out of work, Tammany
representatives will endeavor-and
usually with success If the candidate
IS a promising one-to get him job.
r. he has a spark of gratitude in him,
he remembers his benefactors.
# there is death in the family and
the expenses threatens ruin, Tam
many's representatives are on the job.

HIGHWAY COMMISSION.

Recent events fOreShadOw, in the
near future, the creation Of national
commission Of experts to study the
whole subject of good roads In this
country, and to recommend the most
effective basis on which the national
government can take part in road
building.
Among the resolutions adopted by
the American Road congress at De.
troit was one requesting congress to
authorize the president of the United
States ito appoint commission from
civil life, with SUFFICIENT appropria-
ton to make thorough and exhaus-
tive report on and to recommend a
system of federal aid"
Highway commissioners, engineers,
legislators, and good roads men gen.
orally are becoming convinced that it
would be uswise for the government to
commit itself to any road building plan
on large scale without first awaiting
Itself of the results Of careful study by
such commission. Any plan to be
effective must involve a large ex-
penditure of money, and many OF the
aspects Of the subject are SO technical
that 1t cannot properly be considered
at first by congressional committee.
The great national irrigation projects,
the Sault sainte Marie canal, the vast
river and harbor improvements Of the
nation, and finally the Panama canal
all called for special expert commits
sions. How much greater the need II
the nation is to build roads! On the
wisdom of it's plan will depend the
usefulness of it's roads.

Governor Foss Of Massachusetts,
doubtless learned Tuesday that he is
not as big man as he believed HIM
self to be. Having been put in the
governors chair as a republican and
later as democrat, and having broken
away from both parties, he attempted
to prove himself bigger than either
one. Apparently however the voters
Of the Bay state figured that the man
was not bigger than the party and
their votes were cast for principles
rather than men. Foss ran poor
fourth.

Finger Print System. The system which
gives absolute Identification of depositors
and is considered the best safeguard

ated by p. A. FLAX, an Englishman, who

ment in India.
The FLAX system consists in taking the
imprin,s Of at least three fingers upon the
reverse side Of the signature card Of
depositor. In this way the paying teller
may satisfy himself when in doubt as TO
the identification Of the person applying
for money As TO whether he is paying II 10
