A PROGRESSIVE REPLY
Assemblyman Schaap Answers Re-
publican Charges.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: As a candidate of the Progressive
and Inde ndence League parties for re-
election 10 the Assembly from the 3lst
District. perhaps l should be permitted
little space to answer the attack upon me
I'm the letter of one l. A. Schiller, pub
lished in your issue of to-day. Mr.. Schl-
Ter. evidently speaking for the Republican
organization, admits that my record is
fair" but asks: How does he (Mr,
Schaap) explain his connection with
Tammany Hall for a number of years
and his present standing i'm the Owasco
Club, a Tammany Hall subsidiary" My
connection with Tammany Hall needs
no explanation beyond the fact that
was always an enrolled Democrat of a
very progressive type until the organza-
ton of the Progressive party, OF which |
was one of the first members. Though a
member Of the Democratic organization, |
never took any active part in politics be-
yond acting on one occasion as a watcher
at the primaries. My present standing
in the Owasco Club, Tammany Hall
subsidiary" is simply a campaign fiction.
| was never a member of that club and
am not now, and have no standing there
whatever. The whole Republican organi-
zation in our district knows il, but have
been using this, as they have other SLAM
ders, in an effort TO defeat me. because
as Progressive leader i'm the Assembly, l
attacked the Republican organization as
we'll as Tammany Hall. AS for my vote
I'm the Cohalan matter. suffice il that
more than half the Republican members
voting on the question voted exactly as
| did.
Doubtless Mr.. Schiller would think
more of me if for purposes of political
expedency had voted TO remove an Off
clal against my conscientious conclusions,
but the Citizens Union, which may be
credited with as high conception OF
public duty as the Republican organiza-
ton of this district. has advised the
voters as follows: ION the strength of
his record in the 1913 Legislature, the
voters of the 3lst Assembly District, ire
spective of party. should return Mr..
Schaap to the Assembly. In his single
term he conclusively demonstrated his
capacity as a lawmaker. His district can
not afford to lose the services of so EN-
cient representative"
We defeated the Republican candidate
for Assembly last year more than three
to one, and obtained more votes than the
combined Democratic and Republican
strength. We shall prove this time that
our "vaunted confidence" is not misplaced
by triumphantly repeating the experience
of last year. MICHAEL SCHAAP.

The Truth That Has Wounded Mr..
Mccall.

Even Mr. McCalls friends are grieved over his
showing in the campaign now ended Put forward
as a reliable steady-gOing man of affairs, he has
shown himself an irascible iltempered campaigner,
whose manners were poor as his logic.
Why this unexpected failure! Simply and solely,
an impartial observer must think, because Mr.. Nc
Call could not stand the truth in the shafts which
were aimed at him. Where a man with clear
conscience would have instantly and Indignantly de-
MED charges and then pursued his own course Mr'
Mccall hemmed and hawed and finally exploded in
a burst Of abuse
Whether Mr. Mccall actually deuded himself as
TO the propriety Of his would be an interest
ing question for the psychologist. Here was Il man
of education and breeding lending the cloak of his
responsibility to foul and vicious organization He
had plenty of company in his stand. Tammany has
never lacked goody array of just such respectable
fronts. Butts it right?
While the comfortable jobs last and all goes
smoothly such a career may seem defensible But
when the cloak is stripped off and the whole vena
partnership between responsibility and vice stands
disclosed does II seem as well worth while?
We suspect that Mr. Mccall, despite his vitu-

STEP In RIGHT DIRECTION.

Weigh masters and sealers from
various Indiana cities are at the
state capital for their second annual
convention, but have practically
abandoned their program in order to
have more time to work in behalf of
the Spencer bill to enlarge the scope
of the present weights and measure
law
One of the things that these city
officials are working for is to mako
weights the standard for the buyer
and the seller, and to abandon the
measures. 1t is a step in the right
direction and in other states has
proven to be legislation beneficial tC
the consumer without working q
hardship on the honest merchant.
1t is very much easier to give short
measure than to give short weight
The cunning huckster, practiced II
the art of deception, can deceive th'
trusting housewife even with the us'
of a regulation measure, but wher
he is compelled to sell according t.
weight he must deliver the gods.

The government of the District of
The common council of the district
is none other than the house of rep
resentatives. The government pays
most of the taxes of the district.
Consequently the people of Wash
ington, the nations capital, have less
real public spirit than almost any
other community in the country. De-
cidedly less when the fact is taken
into consideration that the govern
ment is continually spending mill
lions of dollars on improvements
there
Nothing emphasizes this fact so
much as the attitude of the people of
the capitol city towards the coming
inauguration. In years past the bust
ness men of the city have subscribed
the amounts necessary to provide for
the cost of the inaugural ceremonies.

the nature of loan for the proceeds

GOT A RISE OUT OF THEM.

The political story dealing with
the situation in Hammond which APP
peared in these columns the other
night is perhaps the biggest sensation
that the city has ever known and it
has been a matter for common discus
sion ever since. The story has been
praised by democrats as being the
only real piece of democratic news
that has been published in Hammond
for long time and that there will be
two democratic candidates for mayor
in Hammond unless present signs fail
is as sure as the sun shines. There is
absolutely no question of it now and
democrats admit it. OF course one
or two have unfastened themselves
long enough from the public dug to
let out an awful zip but only to get

however, that the laundryman, seek
ing short cut, uses deleterious
chemicals and machinery that de-
stroys the linen For this reason
many men patronize the Chinaman.
The laundrymen may be right.
In any event something is wrong.
The laundrymen claim it is the
adulterated fabric that causes the
shirts and collars to meet an early
end.
The legislature has under consid-
Grafton a pure fabric law, requiring
manufacturers to label their goods
exactly as food makers are required
to do.
If 1T is passed the shirt and collar
trust will have to toe the mark.
Then If the wrecking of laundry
goods continues it will be plain that
the faundrymen and their chemicals
and machinery are to blame for con-
ditions.
Why collars and shirts come to
such a premature end lately is worthy
of study as here is one of the fcators
of the high cost of living. Either
the linen trust is taking money under
false pretenses or else some great
reforms are needed in the laundry
business.
