FuSion Against Tammany.

The Times-DemOcrat states that
nurs,Iant to call signed by anti
Tammany citizens of all pollllcai
faiths" fusion conference Will be
held in New York to prepare Tor the
approaching mayoralty campaign III
that city. Among the signers OF the
call are noted Job E. Hedges, Re
publlean candidate for the New
York goyernorship last fall; Oscar
S. Straus, who was the Bull Moose
candidate for the same office; Setl
Low. former Mayor of New York;
Frederick r. Coudert, Joseph h.
Choafe and number OF others
scarcely less we'll known.
The fusion against Tammany is as
the fusion against the Bosses of New
Orleans. The Bosses are always ID
line. always organized, and have FOL
incentive the emoluments of office
In New York as in New Orleans
and other cities of the United States
the chronic place hunters and place
holders never weary of holding OF
flee. They never resign and rarely
die, and when they are dead their
holding is handed down to then
posterity.
And this condition is tolerated
and continued through the indlffer-
ence of the citizens who give more
time and attention to their business
and private affairs than in the full
fillment of their obligations and du-
ties of good citizenship. 1t is only
when the Bosses become too intol-
Grant and insolent in their defiance
that the people are reused, and
then follows clean up, but the
Bosses gradually resume their pow
er when the good citizens are mac
tive in their fancied security.
The problem of squelching the
political bosses may be reached
some day, but until then tbs
long and untiring feeders at tht
public crib are always in evidence
Without any scruples of conscience
their aim is office, and what would
these venal politicians not do t
obtain and to hold everlastingly to
their jobs?

Petal Of the Roses
Lost Locket
Romance That Ended Hap
PLY by the Japan Sea.
By CLARISSA MACKlE

Hayden's sketching tour of Japan
had becnssomcthing Of failure from
the artists point Of view. True, much
of it had happened rs he had planned
w|en he set sail from San Francisco
after his misunderstanding with Eva
Ign Grant
There had been days of serene con-
tentment when he was borne swiftly
over mountain passes and among quiet
valleys by his faithful jinrikisha men.
He had sketched huge powders and
frowning, cedar topped crags; he had
caught the spirit of Fuji Sans snow
peaked, sacred head as native artist
might have done; he had transferred
to his sketch book the paddy fields
where coolies worked knee deep in the
waving rice. the clumps Of feathery
bamboo, the picturesque bridges, de-
caying Shinto temples and wayside
tea houses The city streets had Of
fered him Kaleidoscope mass or
shifting color, and the flower festivals
rioted among his pages. Yet, as is the
manner of hayward lovers, his heart
was sick within him, and he thought
far more of bonny, dark curled head
and pair Of brown eyes than all the
| mystic beauty Of this new land.
The night after he arrived at Kobe
he bought a ticket for the smallest
town on the railroad that bordered the
| inland sea- and because the size Of the
| town chafed his restless spirit he was
whisked as if by magic to tiny VII
lage on the edge Of the sea. The quaint
houses struggled up from the silver
| sand, terrace on terrace, embo wered In
cedars and chestnuts until they lost
outline against the towering slopes.
He was made very comfortable in
| the little inn. He felt soothed by the
| gentle welcome accorded him and by
| the delicate cleanliness of his room
| cool and bare Of superfluous furniture
| There followed a bath in very hot
| water, a supper partaking Of strange
| dishes and stroll down to the sea.
John Hayden had the silver sands to
himself He flung his great length
down in the shadow Of brown rock
and watched the changing color on the
most beautiful sheet of water in the
eastern world.
The sun, just setting, tinged the plac
id sea with hundred tfnts of rose and
gold. Above was the pale turquoise
sky set with few fleecy clouds. The
towering hills were reflected mysteri
ously dark and green in the water neal
the shore, and here and there clumsy
Junk broke the surface into ripples OF
running fire. Small boats darted like
dragon flies, and occasionally a SOUND
softened by distance broke the silence.
For the first time since his arrival II
the land of the chrysanthemum Hay
den regretted his coming. The very
beauty of the scene preyed upon his
unhappiness and awoke his dormant
memory. A, short year ago he hat
planned with Evalyn that their honey
moon should be spent on the shores Of
this inland sea. This month was thu
identical one which would have found

STRIKE OF CHILDREN SPREADS
THOUSANDS OF PITTSBURGH
YOUNGSTERS TIE UP TRAFFIC..
One Child Run Down and Killed by
Street Car During the
Excitement.

Pittsburgh, April 23.-The strike Of
school children against S. T.. Heeter.
as superintendent of the public school
system, has spread rapidly. Begin
ming Monday, when hundreds of chill.
dren remained away from school as
protest against Heeter who last
Friday was acquitted by jury of two
serious charges preferred by a do
nestle employed at his home, the
strike has gained great proportions.
In all parts of the city, thousands of
school children paraded the streets,
tieing up traffic at a number Of busy
points and necessitating the calling
out of police reserves to maintain or
der.
Later. when the demonstrations of
the children had ceased. the Pitts.
burgh board of education held a meet
ing at which a committee Of seven
prominent men was asked to investi.
gate the alleged various charges of
immortality against Superintendent
Heeter. The committee follows: w.

Rev. George w. Shelton, pastor of the
Second Presbyterian church, and pres
ident Of the Ministerial union, and
Rev. DR.. j. Leonard Levy, rabbi OF

The unique strike of the children
caused the police considerable incon.
venience. A score of the youthful
marchers were detained at the various
police stations until their parents
could be notified. One little girl was
run over and killed by street cal
during the excitement occasioned by
one of the parades.
There were few demonstrations
Tuesday night. In all police districts
reserves were held in readiness. Pc
