Reforming the Republican Party

Everything is being reformed these days.
The whole world is making a general overhauling
of it's belongings and setting everything to
rights. Everybody is reforming himself in ord
er to keep up with the times Not to reform is
out of date.
Has not the Grand Old Party joined this
procession? Has it not employed the mop, and
the broom, and alcohol and sapolio, and sand
paper on itself? Consider the many solemn
proclamations of it's great chiefs! Have they
not and all declared themselves rid of the
old stand-pat incrustations? the Big Business
sedimentation? the Wall Street defamation ?
Yes verify. Even Elihu Root has joined in the
chorus. Mr.. Crane scrubs hard. Prof. Taft is
even flirting with woman suffrage And all the
old boys flourish the scrub-brush, the water
bucket and the soap suds
Return unto us! they cry unto their erstwhie
comrades, the Bull Moosers. We have freed our
skirts Of contamination, we are once more whole
some and good company Their cries of remorse,
of vociferous, loud confessions, of labored reso-
lutions rise to high heaven.
And now the Republican party of New York
has at last filed it's record of campaign expenses
with the New York secretary of state Among
the lists of hot-headed revolutionary radicals
and reformers therein numbered appear such
names as these before the heaviest contribu-
tions John Pierpont Morgan, Andrew Carnegie
the two Rockefellers, w. H. Taft, ETC. Does not
this prove that the Republican Party has COM
pletely freed itself from the domination of Wall
Street, from the od-fashoned reactionary per-
sons who side-tracked Lincolns party into the
swamps

to do for Richmond what in many of the largest
cities three or four men doing? and why do
we need a three-headed board of health when
the health officer himself is not supposed to de-
vote but fraction of his time to the office?
The answer to these questions is that the
state legislatures are the creatures of political
parties and that it is to the interest of these
parties to have as many offices available as pos
sible since it places larger working force be-
hind the party and furnishes that many more
puTns to the faithful.
But even if legislatures were always as hon
est as the sun and as uncontrolled the mere
growth of cities would have brought on msgOv-
ernment and corruption under the present sys-
tenn of state control. Modern ndustrialism is
rapidly massing population about industrial
centers. An ever increasing percentage of per-
sons moving inside the corporate limits of
cities. This gives rise to problems every
year and means that city government must be
continually readjusted to its ever changing
needs. But how can this be when that govern
ment is merely the creature Of body Of out-of-
town men, unacquainted with city's condi-
tiOns, who meet every other year for a few
months?
This control of city by forces outside itself
is the death of municipal patriotism of which we
are now so badly in need 1t causes men to lose
interest in their own community and to despair
Of improving the injustices and conditions about
their own homes. When a group of men are
thwarted by foreign legislature from making
improvements in their own neighborhoods they
are not likely to have much heart for all the
work of municipal reform which is so badly
needed. 1t is to be strenuously hoped and prayed
for that our next assembly will give Indiana a
new constitution which will grant to every city
what every city must have-home rule.

Curing the City of the Smoke Habit

The smoke research department Of the Uni
versity of Pittsburg has recently issued pulle-
tin showing what that town pays for its priv
lege of living under perpetual cloud OF gloom
AS whole the sum totals up to almost S1O,-
900 900, an average of about $50 to every indi-
vidual
Wholesale and retail stores are heaviest los
ers through ruined merchandise, extra precau-
tons and cleaning and artificial lighting. Each
year Pittsburg merchants must pay tribute OF
$3675, 900 to the inefficiency of the citys manu-
facturers and engineers.
Private households come next losing heavily
in paint deterioration, tin and metal roof decay,
CREASED up wall paper, lace curtain damages,
and artificial lighting Their tax is $2,332, 900
yearly.
After the citizen has left his household he
must expose his clothing to the nuisance privi-
lege which costs him every year, $2,25O,0OO.
But the man who makes the smoke also comes
in for heavy fine. His loss consists of the fuel
that flies out unconsumed, aggregating yearly
expenditure of 81 100000.
Public buildings, such the post-office, hos
pitals and hotels suffer to the tune of about
$4,000.
But this does not tell the whole story of
Pittsburg's LOSSES There are many business
concerns and manufacturers who couldn't make
profit in smoky town because of the rapid de-
terioration of their stock. In that way Pittsburg
suffers loss through business being sidetracked
into Philadelphia or some other community.
The smoke nuisance ties up with the nations
conservation problem. Whenever coal sup
ply out may build tomb for civili-
zation for that is erected on coal. And smoke is
simply form of coal which is wholly wasted.
1t is plain therefore, that the nation must be
losing heavily every year through this unneces-
sary leakage of one of it's most precious re-
sources.

Grand Onera ComnanX.

A corps of distinguished artists has
been selected for the tour of "Caval-
leria Rusticanna" and "Salome" by the
American Grand Opera Company.
Nine. Norwood has been specially
engaged for the vocally gorgeous title
role of SuntuZza in "Cavalleria Rusti-
cana" Nine. Norwood created the
prima donna roles in three of Puccini's
operas, LA Tosca," La Boheme" and
Madame Butterfly" being selected by
Puccini himself for the title roles She
is purely an American artist, having
obtained her musical education in
America. Nine. Norwood has long
held a high place among American
singers, due to her engagements for
several seasons with the leading oper-
attic organizations in this country, and
her instantaneous success was quickly
heralded over the world and has
reached the highest pinnacle and the
crowning triumph of her career.
Mile. Johanna kristoffy, prima don
ma soprano from the Royal Opera at
Vienna, possesses a voice of wonderful
range. 1t can pass from G to upper
E. She has been selected to plat 'Sa-
lone" in Massenet's opera of that
name, a most difficult role.
When the Royal Opera decided to
put "Salome" into rehearsal, they
found they had no artist capable of
playing this role. Later, however,
news of kristoffy's great success as
"Thias" reached Vienna, and after
hearing her sing, were so impressed
by the quality of her voice and splen-
did dramatic capabilities that they i'm
mediately engaged her to play the
part of "SalOme." In this part she
has established a worldwide reputa-
ton. adding another triumph to her
enviable record. Thus it happened
that "Salome" was not given in Vienna
until two seasons ago.

Creatures of the State

Our forefathers fought for self government
and representation. They waded barefoot
through the snow for it, bled for it, and died
for it. And we, their children submit to taxation
without representation every day in lives.
That is, if we live in city
A city is a community within itself, faces it's
own peculiarly local problems of development,
government, administration and control. No
two municipalities confront quite the same con-
ditions, need quite the same form of organiza-
tion, or have quite the same resources. Rich
mond has its own needs peculiar to itself and
different from New Albanys as the state of
Alabama differs from the state of Wisconsin.
The assembly of Wisconsin would never dream
of being able to administer the affairs of
Alabama.
But assembly of agriculturists and mis-
cellaneous gathered from the various parts
of Indiana do dream of being able to administer
the affairs of Richmond. They determine what
officials and how many of each we may have.
what must pay them, how long they may
hold office, whether they shall be elected or ap-
pointed, how they may conduct their office and
what they are to do.
more flagrant piece of usurpaton of pow
could not be imagined. 1t makes the city a
corporation that is merely the creature of the
state legislature. 1t places the urgent business
and political needs of this community under the
thumb of some persons who may never have seen
Richmond. 1t destroys that for which the Unit
ed States stands: self government
There are matters in each city over
which the state must have jurisdiction Just as
there are matters in each state over which the
federal government must have Jurisdiction No
body has right to complain about that but ev-
erybody has duty to complain about the state
legislature having jurisdiction over problems
that are peculiarly and purely local
1t is this state control of city governments
which is the fruitful cause of so much municipal
corruption and petty graft The state legisla-
ture, which is almost always the machine in con-
troll of dominant political party, ties on more
and more offices to each municipal government
in order that faithful henchmen over the state
may find berths. By controlling local admins
tration through legislatures a political despotism
may consistently and perpetualy use the city
and its treasury pension system for favor
ties.
Our own form of administration is an exam
pie of this. Where is there the man who can
find reason for having three paid members
of the board of works, each of whom must de-
vote all his time to the office and receive 81 200
per year? Why do we need twelve counclmen

Irregularities and the state commission
has been wrestling with the problem.
Some of the citizens claimed they had

books the situation was embarrassing.
The first case to come into court was

settled for $40.11. Three other cases
were to be called but have been ad-

be settled or a compromise reached.
