 Then comes time when the thirst of the chiefs is such that the custom ary graft will not quench it.

 Pushed to the wall conversant with all the underground and underworld tactics of the accomplished crook the organization oversteps itself. Then the people of New York arise in their might and chase the Tiger back to his hole with a tin can tied to his tail.
 Now all of that is very estimable on the part of the New York voter and the press of the country write editor ials like this and compliment the vot- CT and the voter pats himself on the back and says just look what I've done. Then he goes 10 sleep and the Tiger crawls again out of his hole and grips the city. It has always been so be- fore and it will be so now. Tammanv will come back The prize is to rich to he given up. Even now the Tiger is way back in the darkest corner of his den laying plans to bounce upon the city when it isn't looking. The muzzle on the snout of the beast Is only temporary.

Official Paper
NOME. ALASKA. NOV. 6. 1913.

A news report from Washington says that the administration is not worried over the report from New York that the Tammany Tiger has again been driven into his filthy lair Most certainly the administration is not worried There is no reason why il should be. AIr. Wilson never was and never could be the kind of a man who would either need or want any thing that had the smirch of Tam manyism attached to it.
 The president of the United States is singulariy free from all of the dirty political blackguardism. corruption and graft that have for so many years made the name of Tammany the synonym for all that is vile in politics.
 The defeat of Tammany in New York is in no way rebuke to the Wilson administration or to the demo- cratic party. The issue was purely l local one and has no Iational signifi- canoe whatever.
 New York is merly passing through one of its periodical rebellions against corruption and graft and political as- sassination.
 Very likely New York will get over it. The same thing has happened be- fore when the bosses of the rottenest political organization in the world have gone too far with their crooked work. New York will stand for a good deal but 1t has just little bit of civic pride slowed away somewhere down deep in the inside of it's great throb- bing busy life and when it is held up to the ridicule of the world by the ieeches that fatten on it's political graft it will sometimes turn.
 Tte metropolis of the country is an easy going. pleasure loving communi- ty. So long as things are running smoothly and the cancer that is eating at it's political heart becomes not too apparent it will mush along seemingly indifferent to the disease. Centent-to to know that. rotten as it is, the police protection for the average citizen is good -proteetien.-t the fire fighting force is good fire fighting force and the other departments of the city are do- ing their allotted work The fact that the politicians. from the highest to the lowest are stealing the tax payers money. that the bosses are getting fat on the contributions wrung from vice. seems to be no concern of the aver age New Yorker. He knows all about it. but it is not matter that he need worry about as a rule. and besides he is very busy man.
 Thus the thievery and corruption flourish and wax great in the city and all the big chiefs and all the little chiefs of Tammany, according to their

According TO the story of the police,

Court to Convene Monday

On Monday. October g. the Bessemer city
court. will convene for the fall term, when
the grand jury will be impaneled and
charged by Judge Gwin, and will then
take up the examination of witnesses.
The civil jury docket will be taken up
after the grand jury is charged and a
number of cases are set for the first day
There will be many civil cases tried, dur
Ing the term. but fewer criminal cases
than usual, this being caused by the fact
that so many accused of crime are un-
able to make bond and have TO go to the
county jail and their cases are then heard
in the Birmingham courts.
A large majority of the arrests made
by the deputies of the Bessemer city
court during the summer were confined
in jail and their cases will be examined
by The Jefferson county grand jury Near
ly 100 men will be In Bessemer on Mon
day for jury service during the week.

At The Orpheum

Ward and Davis and the Metropolitan
dancers, six of them, is the principal at
faction at the Orpheum this week, and
Miss Davis is the star of the sextette The
act is one of the cleanest, neatest and
best staged attractions that has come
here. and it is so distinctly different from
any that the Orpheum has offered in a
long time that it made a big hit Monday
night and matinee. There are two and
four ballet girls. They appear in pretty
costumes, with dancing speciality of
their 00n, while the stars offer several
entirely new songs with catchy air
and dainty dance step to accompany
it.
1t probably fell to the lot of the two
single acts of the bill to score the hearth
est applause. one of these Dick DeLoris,
offering banjo playing, piano playing and
trick effects, and the saxaphone finish.
The other single is Billy Broad. the wan
dering minstrel man. met the hearty ap-
proval of the audience.
The opening act is Kennedy and Mel
rose, knockabout acrobats. and they pre-
sent some new and rather thrilling
stunts. TheiH comedy is good while their
tumbling. barrel handling and falls are
exceptionally clever.
The parodies sung by Jennings Jewell
and Barlow caused much laughter The
act. outside of the parodies has another
distinct feature, the monologue of '-the
dope" set to music. 1t is very cleverly
done, and Mr. Jewel makes splendid
dope with the looks, the atmosphere
and the actions of a fiend

Operated On Friday
Senator Lodge was operated on last
Friday for a gastric ulcer The sem
ator had been suffering for some days
with what was thought to be an attack
OF indigestion. but his condition be-
came so critical that the physicians
found an immediate operation neces-
sary. Dr. Harrington and Dr. Wins
low. who are in charge of the case,
today pronounced the senator's condi-
tion entirely satisfactory
Even some of the senator's most in
innate friends were surprised TO learn
of the serious nature of his illness.
He had returned from Washington 10
days ago complaining that he was tired
and wanted rest.
In the seclusion of his estate on
Massachusetts, bay he took many short
strolls but on Wednesday lie com :
plained of the increasing severity of
his indisposition. Thursday ne called
in the family physician. DIR. Lawrence
Cusick, who found the senator suffer-
ing from an ulcer of the stomach. The
growth was acutely developed, he said
and he advised an immediate opera
|tion.
This met with the opposition of Sen.
unnecessary and believed that he was
too weak to go under the knife.
Diagnosis Confirmed
The family now greatly worried.
called in Drs. Harrington and Winslowl
who confirmed the diagnosis of Dr.
rCusick and said that an operation was
necessary to save the patients life
Mrs. Lodge, 1t Is understood, added her
prayers to the doctors advice and the
senator submitted.
DR.. Harrington performed The oper.
alton Friday. assisted by DR.. Ninslow.
