WILL 1T END TAMMANY?

II is a good many years since defeats for Tam
many have been received with confident predictions
that the Wigwam was out of business, but the Wig
has persistently refused to retire. Will it be
different this time?
Horseback answers are valueless; and any answer
today must be made from horseback. 1t is vastly
more probable that Murphy's leadership of Tammany
will be ended result of the present disaster, be-
cause the dullest mind of any ward-heeling booster
can discern that Murphy's stupid management
brought the disaster. To make Sulzer governor was
bad politics for Tammany; to unmake him in the
way it was done was vastly worse. Murphy was
drunk with power when he deied sense and senti-
inert alike by deposng the man he had made COVER
nor, in conditions that made every honest man know
that Suffers real offense in not being bad as
he was required by Tammany to be.
Murphy will probably CO. The man who Sue
ceeds him may be able to the Hall, but he must
be big and broad-gauged leader of new type to
do it. Tammany has been outgrown by the city Its
power in the outlying boroughs, where the growth
has been in recent time, has never been established
Four years ago Brooklyn was appealed to with the
old query, Shall the tiger cross the bridge?" The
tiger was cartooned with voracious maw crossing to
devour Brooklyn. But when the election was over
and the board of estimate had been securely held
against Tammany, the cartoonsts replied to the tiger
query with picture of the Brooklyn baby cab and
rubber plant crossing the bridge to Manhattan.
Four years have passed, and the baby carriage
is strongly intrenched than ever. The real
people of New York have again rejected Tammany,
and by most emphatic majorities. Tammany can be
saved only by reforming it and making it decent
enough to deserve to be saved. Can that be done
to Tammany? With the graft and the hoggishness
and the easy money and the crooked political pull
out Of it. would there be any kind of cement left by
which to hold together the elements that have made
up its power?
Even in the light of the past, and of Tammany's
many demonstrations of its ability to come back 4"
there is certainly room for grave doubt this time
The Washington times., 1913-11-05

munity strengthened by the fear-which, by the
way, they tried diligently to propagate-that the ac-
ceptance Of French aid would result in merely
changing from British to French suzerainty? His
tory does not read that way 1t does not justify the
belief that American aid to the Carranzistas would
really injure the Carranzstas, and common sense
does not run to such conclusion. :.
Intervention, however, ought not to be the next
move. The constitutionalists are probably able to
take Of their own case if they get the chance
Some financial help and the privilege of getting m-
nitions and arms from the United States, would place
their cause on very different basis.
The Washington times., 1913-11-05
o,CoRMAN AND TAMMANYLEADERsH

The vicissitudes of politics in greater New York
may divide the house of O'Gorman against itself
Since the crushing defeat of Tammany and the
victory of John Purroy Mitchell yesterday politicians
in Washington see visions of Senator OGorman and
his brilliant young son-in-law, Dudley Field Malone,
arrayed against each other, fighting with daggers
drawn, the Administration antagonstic to O'Gorman
and at the same time backing up Malone.
Now that Tammany has gone down to defeat,
there is no question the movement to reorganze that
society and oust Murphy will take great strength
Senator O'Gorman is the most mentioned here
to succeed Murphy. He is Tammany man of stand
ing, and many of his friends now strongly urging
him for the leadership
On the other hand, Malone, who came out strong
y for Mitchell is mentioned for collector Of the port
to succeed Mitchell.
If Malone gets this place he will be the Admin
stration representative in Greater New York If
O'Gorman gets the Tammany leadership and the Ad-
n.inisraton continues its hostility to Tammany, the
situation presented will be one wherein the Admin
stration is using Malone to lambast the organiza-
ton of which his father-in-law is the head
Senator O'Gorman is not eager for the leadership
of Tammany. He does not want the job. He knows
it is hard and thankless task. He may decline to
take it, but talk today is that it may be forced on him.
If he does Decline that will eliminate any likelihood
Of friction betweer himself and the husband of his
daughter. On the other hand, friends of Senator
O'Gorman point out reorganzed Tammany under
him might not have the White House hostility, at
least not to the extent there would be any open
war on it. Moreover, there will be opposition in
some quarters to Malone for collector. Some of the
friends Of other candidates hold he is young for
the job. .--s~r-.z'-~-.- -.--. ---r --

If HUERTA REFUSES.

If Victoriano Huerta rejects a demand from
Washington that he shall retire from the presidency
of Mexico, and that he shall not leave the reins of
authority in the hands of any member of his official
family or personal entourage, what next:
Will there be any alternative short of armed in
tervention by the United States to force Huerta TO
accept its dictun?
That is the question forced sharply to the front
in view of the fact that despite official explanations,
it is generally believed that Washington is near the
point of insisting on Huerta's retirement. There
has been very general belief in Mexico that
Huerta wanted Just this thing to happen and
not a few Americans have believed the same
thing. His partisans have insisted that if he were
given such utmatum, and would reject it. he
would thereby unite Mexicans in support of his gov
eminent against the outside interference
We doubt if there is any justification for that
view. 1t is hardly conceivable that the Carranza
following would suddenly turn in and help defeat
their own cause. The Carranzistas, and before them
the Maderists have given every indication that they
wanted the sympathy and the substantial support
Of the United States. When it was rendered to them
would they suddenly refuse it2 The answer seems
obvious They would not
rough parallel may be found in the situation
presented in the United States when, early in the
civil war; the affair of the Trent threatened at one
time to embro us in with Great Britain There
were some good and shrewd Americans, even Some
of them inside the Lincoln Cabinet who believed
that the Washington Government ought to let that
issue drift into war. They argued that if Britain
should attack US, in our divided condition. the ef-
feet would be TO unity North and South against
what they were pleased to call the common enemy
Lincoln did not believe it, and not many people are
willing to believe it today, in the light of present
knowledge of the feeling between the two sections
at that time.
Another Illuminating case is afforded by the al
lance of the colonies with France during the revo
luton. When France sent fleet and an army IT,
help the revoutonists did cause an uprising against
the common enemy?' Did the tories find their
ranks augmented and their influence with the com.

Twenty Gems Of
American Humor
1.-THE BRIEFLESS BAR
RlSTER, by /. G. SAKE.

A N Attorney was taking a turn.
n In shabby habiliments drest;
~ His coat 1t was shockingly worn.
And the rust had invested
his vest.
His breeches had suffered a breach,
His linen and worsted were worse;
He had scarce q whole crown in his hat,
And not nalf a crown In his purse.
And thus as he wandered along,
A cheerless and comfortless elf,
He sought for relief in a song.
Or compla.ningly talked to himself:
"Unfortunate man that l am!
I've never a client but grief;
The case Is, I've no case at all,
And in brief I've ne'er had a briefi
"Oh, how can a modest young man
Fer hope for the smallest progress
sion
The profession's already so full
OF lawyers SO full Of profession"
While thus he was strolling around
His eye accidentally fell
On a very deep hole in the ground,
And he sighed to himself, 1T is well!"
To curb his emotions he sat
ute.
Then cried Here's an opening at last!"
And in less than a jifry was in IT,
Next morning twelve citizens came

Quoth the foreman who sat on the
corse
"A lawyer? Alas!" said another,
Undoubtedly died Of remorse!''
A third said he knew the deceased
An attorney well versed In the laws,
And as to the cause of his death,
Twas no doubt for the want Of a
cause.
The jury decided at length,
After solemnly weighing the matter,
That the lawyer was drowned because
He could not keep his head above
