coantry at large. playing into the hands
Of the opposition.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Murphy. a. leader Of
the most powerful democratic organixa-
thinks well Of himself, wants a say in the
management Of things, now that through
his aid, though reluctantly given, q demo-
crat occupies the White House and an
other democrat the governors mansion
at Albany.
II the leader of Tammany were only a
trif1e diplomatic the situation might be
eased. But he lacks diplomacy. He is so
accustomed to full sway in the Hall. and
likes authority so much. he wants to dis
play himself at all times. He essays to
be bossy even with the governor.
This does not suit Gov. Sulzer, who
considers that the November verdict made
him the state leader of the democracy.
He regards Mr.. Murphy as q subordinate.
and shows a disposition to treat him on
that basis. He has not threatened to ig-
more Tammany-he Is himself member
Of the Hall-but declares purpose to
deal with 1t only in it's place. He will
give II what he considers is its just due,
and no more.
So far there has been no more than
stage-play-what may be described as
Bowery melodrama. Much talk and some
scowhng have made up the entertain
ment. There may be nothing more seri-
Gus than this to follow. 1t is not a good
time for a real row. A campaign for
control Of Greater New York Is approach
ing, and unless Gov. Sulzer and Mr..
Murphy work together. as they did last
year, the democrats, handicapped by the
recently exposed police corruptions, will
be badly beaten.

Chairman McCombs' Sacrifice.

Now that Chairman McCOmbs has de-
cided to stay at home and look out for
the men who helped him win last year s
battle We may all wish him well of a deli
cate and difficult task. The decision Is
creditable to both his head and his heart.
Paris is gay. and at all times delightful.
A man Of taste and education in diplomatic
commission there. even If only with a
limited purse. has many opportunities Of
enjoyment. Mr.. McCombs. with the wide
Atlantic between him and the noble army
Of hunters. would have been on Easy
street. But he foregoes gayety and ease
for q part in American political strenu-
BUSINESS, and will continue in the thick of
it for at least three years longer.
1t is not known to what extent Mr.
McCombs as committee chairman is
pledged in the matter of patronage. and
we may safely reject good deal Of gos-
sip on the subject. Such a subject in
vites to gossip, and political gossips have
particularly long tongues and lively imag
nations. At the same time it is not un-
likely that the Arkansas-New York leader

self was fighting for the ticket.
Another point was that some Of the
Clevelandites were out OF humor because
Of Mr. Wilson's sudden conversion to
Organism. This caused fear that they
might cut him at the polls, and he be
left In the lurch as Mr.. Bryan had been
three times before.
Chairman McCombs, therefore, had much
to disturb him-to keep him anxious all
through the campaign. 1t was necessary
for him to track every disaffection to its
lair, and deal with 1t in the best way pos
sible. This, presumably. he did. and in

The Relief Fund.

Liberal response has been given to the
appeal for help that rises from the flooded
districts of Ohio and Indiana, and already
the relief fund advances to the million
mark, with hourly additions that promise
one of the most generous Outpourings iof
charity the country has ever witnessed.
But there will be need Of every dollar
that can be given, and no hand should
be stayed because of a. feeling that with
So many giving there will be plenty to
meet all necessities.
The country is well assured in this
emergency that whatever it gives for the
relief of the sufferers will be carefully
administered to the end of affording re-
lief to those actually in need, and pro-
viding with the necessities of life those
who have been deprived of all their be-
longings by the disaster. The money will
be disbursed through the American Red
Cross, an organization which commands
perfect confidence in consequence of the
high character of those who comprise
the executive force and which has per-
fected system of distribution leaving
small chance of waste. In every instance
the state and local officials will be the
direct agencies of expenditure and dona-
ton. BY working through this chain of
representatives the people can be assured
that the money they contribute will be
of maximum benefit to the sufferers and
survivors.
One Of the Washington business men
today set splendid example in the
matter of contribution to the flood fund
by turning over to the Red Cross through
The Star the check he had just received
from the inaugural committee in refund
of his contribution to the Inauguration
expenses, plus the amount lacking to
make good his entire original subscrip-
ton. Thus he transfers his donation to
President Wilson's Inauguration expense
account directly to the flood fund. A
general following of this example would
bring Washington's total of contribution
in this worthy cause to point common
surate with it's actual sense of sympathy,
and beyond its merely proportionate share
of the national relief.
The Stars list is growing rapidly, as
it clears In the name of the Red Cross
for the various local organizations whose
members are now giving in the name of
the National Capital. individuals and
groups of employees are adding their
names to the list, and many anonymous
contributions are coming. 1t is now as
sured that the District Of Columbia will
rank high among the contributors to the
rescue of those who have suffered SO
terribly from the elements.

From the New York Worl

From the New York World.
Gov. Cox of Ohio has spoken of the
floods as the greatest calamity which has
ever befallen that section and the great
est of the kind which has ever befallen
the republic. But the floods themselves
have not been great beyond precedent
These central valley sections have been as
deeply under water before. The whole
Mississippi drainage basin is subject to
occasional Overf1ows which figure success
sively as greater than any before. These
floods are vastly more destructive In life
and property than any others before
known because the country is more thick
ly settled than ever before and because
the works of men are greater and more
costly than ever before. Like floods will
come again. and under like conditions
they will find many more people and
much more property than now exposed
to destruction. 1t is not within human
power to control the rainfall, but it is
within human power to control the result
ing floods, and to this work the present
memorable disaster calls the national
government in cooperation with the at
fected states.

Underground Wires or Wireless :?

From the Chicago Tribune.
For all her sister cities could do, Oma-
ha might have been wiped out for lack
Of a telegraph or telephone wire.
That Is the lesson which stands out
against the tragic background of destruc-
ton and death wrought by the tornadoes
Of yesterday.
Our present system of communication
is wholly at the mercy of the climate,
and any city or town may be completely
cut off from any succor by a storm which
blows down wires. as Omaha and other
places were cut Off for time by this
hurricane. During these hours of isola-
ton confiagration might have swept
a city for lack of prompt aid from near
by cities out of the track OF devastation,
looting and rioting might have gone on
unchecked and many lives lost
There is no need for this danger This
is the age of wireless biography. and
the government should take the hint
from yesterdays events to provide a sys-
tenn of wireless communication covering
the country, and as nearly as possible
stormproof. Such a system will cost
money, but it will save life and property
often enough to justify the investment
as insurance.

Sulzer and Murphy.

governor. Hand him one on the Jaw,
and he'll quit" urge the anti-Sulzer men

tons.
The public is aware that the two men
are not fond of each other. Had it been
in Mr.. Murphy's power to prevent the

not have become Gov. Sulzer The former

Few Cyclones in New England.
From the BOSTON Transcrip

that which cut clearly marked path

1t took but a few minutes for the cyclone

Of ruin. Nine persons were killed and
forty injured. and before people had re-
