WHAT'S AHEAD OF TAMMANY?

With a man who has fought it for
a. decade Or more at the head of the
New York city governments man
who possesses both the power and the
will to expose every crooked trail, no
matter where it leads-the prospect
for the future happiness of Charles F.
Murphy and his gang is far from al
Turing. Mr.. Mitchell has waged ~relelt-
less warfare on the corrupt invisible
government" of the metropolis yer
since he entered public life, and won
his present office entirely on pledges
to make clear all the c~rookedness that
has made the chief a very rich man
and his followers plethoric of purse
and insolent of mien.
District Attorney Whitman de-
Clares that he II the mayor-clect are
of one mind as to the necessity of a
thorough house-Cleaning, and as both
for four years, there is every probable
ity that the ranks Of the "Organiza-
ton" will be depleted and the prison
population increased by the same
number-if a lot of the gang does not
find it convenient to seek other
chimes.
Perhaps the worst thorn in the side
Of Murphy and his henchmen Is the
election Of Sulzer to the legislature.
With the republicans fairly certain to
control the lower house, the deposed
governor will have at hand enough
sworn foes of Tammany to furnish q
mighty lever for revenge. Besides the
republican members there are very
many upstate democrats elected on
anti-Tammany platforms to give a
great impetus to any movement aim
ed at Murphy himself or those who
train with him. That Sulzer will
joyously embrace the opportunity
that Is his goes without saying, and
that the result will be such a. shaking
up as has seldom been witnessed is
certain.
Altogether this promises to be a
hard winter for the tiger and a cores
pOndingly joyous one for those who
have been stalking the beast SO long,
and for the people Of the provinces
who enjoyed the gam from the
bleachers.

RESINOL HEALS
ITCHING SKIN

STATE LIFE INSURANCE.

The state Of Wisconsin has estab-
lished a department of life insurance
and thus has entered upon a most in
teresting experiment.
Wisconsin is proposing to sell life
insurance to such of it's citizens as
are disposed to buy. A scientific plan
has been figured out and the rates
are somewhat cheaper than those OF
the insurance companies. This Is be-
cause the state IS to have no agents
and the work is to be done by existing
bureaus, thus reducing expenses to a
minimum.
Most of the insurance companies re-
gard agents as essential to securing
business, says The Louisville Courier
Journal. Certainly the majority of
them would have nothing like their
present armies OF policyholders, but
for the activities and opportunities
Of their agents. The proportion Of the
population which will buy life insur-
ance Of it's w volition is small com
pared with the element which will
not buy except for the persuasive ar
guments of the agent.
1T remains to be seen whether the
inhabitants of Wisconsin will insure
their lives with the state in sufficient
numbers to make the life insurance
department an unqualified success
from tho standpoint OF patronage
Also it remains to be seen whether
tho state can conduct a business Of
that kind with as good results all
around III the insurance companies

VALUE OF PUBLIC SENTIMENT.

There is a whole lot Of truth in
this from The Minneapolis Journal:
| Public sentiment is the best force
behind law. The best guardians of it
are law-abiding citizens. The game
and fish commission, compelled to cut
its warden list down by an exhausted
appropriation, asks members of
sportsmen's clubs to serve without
regular pay, and the request meets
with favor. This service may easily
prove more effective than thai of
hired Wardens.
Members of spOrtsmen's clubs in
good standing always have done their
utmost to uphold the game and fish
preserve laws. Members Of uatomo-
bile clubs in good citizenship always
have done most to enforce speed and
running laws and prevent accidents.
They who obey a law against them
selves in the public interest, are most
interested in preventing others from
breaking it.
This is true Of more serious crime
and more obscure vice than reckless
running of cars and close season
shooting or fishing. The best police
is an alert l~aw-abiding community.
Great progress has been made in
North Dakota in the enforcement of
game laws. This year the board has
sought n secured a great deal of
cooperation and the value Of public
sentiment is shown more prominently
than usual. In many other things
Fargo and North Dakota public SEN
timent has been the leading factor in
law enforcement.

THE INHERENT ERROR OF
MRS. PANKHURST'S REASONING

Minneapolis Tribune: Mrs. Pank-
hurst has come and gone. She has i'm
printed her influence on our thought.
She has cleared away our general mis-
conception of her personality. She
has revealed herself, not as a Virago
with a torch, but is such a woman as
goes by the thousand to u churches
every Sunday morning, sweetly refin-
ed, quiet of manner, gowned in black
and carrying Persian lamb furs.
Her message is a message of inter-
probation. She would have us OF
America understand the militant
reasoning. She states her case with
Duse electriies sentence of no spec
ial interest by quiet intensity, so En-
incline .Pankhurst gives thrilling inter
est to her outline of the movement to
which she has pledged her life.
The essential to her Interpretation
is a differentiation between general
lawIessness and revolution. Though
she does not so spread it forth, she
proceeds evidently upon the assump-
ton that revolution is organized OPP
position to established authority bas-
ed upon an ideal. In her case the
ideal is the political emancipation OF
women.
The purpose Of the "militants' is to
revolt against laws which even hel
most ardent opponent must recognize
as palpably unjust, to shock the worlC
into attending upon those wrongs
and to do so by striking the comfort
loving English population through the
two interests, which, after all, seem
cost vulnerable-its property and its
pleasure. This revolution Is to De dis.
t~inctive for the resolute determine.
ton of the rebels to endanger no hui
man lives but their own.
So much it is good for us all to com
prehend. No one in America woult
willingly misjudge any movement, any
cause, in England. We w it to our.
selves, to say nothing Of others. to be
just and generous as far as we are
able. But being just requires that we
examine into Mrs. Pankhurst's rea'
soning without Partially for her, a:
| before she came we were bound to in,
quire into it without Partially against
her. ,N
Is the civil war" Of the "militants'
in England justified? "
Americans have been generally i'm.
pressed with the fact that the recourse
to rebellion came at an unfortunate
time. Peaceable methods had convert.
ed a clear majority Of members of par.

EDITORIAL COMMENT
Old and New Ways.

New York Evening News: When
the present tariff bill was but a rough
draft, a basis to work from, the follow
ing incident happened:
A New Jersey manufacturer discov-
cred that he was hard hit. Duties on
his finished products were reduced, du-
ties on his raw material increased.
He went after it in the odd way"
A man somewhat on the order of the
old-type lobbyist, was retained, one
that was supposed to have political
influence" He appeared in Washing
ton before the committee tina had the
bill in hand. And he talked the old
talk, the old glittering g]enera1ities, the
old fiap-doodle spread-eagle, the old
political dickering.
And he got nothing done.
Then a young man, one of the heads
of the business, went to Washington
on his own hook and appeared before
the same committee.
He talked facts. Material cost so
much, labor so much, unavoidable
waste so much. patterns and new nov
elites so much. The efficiency of the
plan was thus n so. He talked the
new way. He was neither an orator,
a. lobbyist nor even known in Washing
ton.
The bill was changed within TWEEN
ty-four hours to meet his Gxplana-
tons"
Maybe this is only a little thing, but
maybe it is evidence Of a gigantic
thing. An odd way" failed, a new
way" won. Perhaps behind the Incl
dent lies the explanation of the rea-
sons why things look so rosy for the
currency bill. A new atmosphere OF
honest facts and honest service has
superseded Influence" lobbyists and
politics"

Greatest of It's Kind.

Jackson Sun: Nashville succeeded
in raising the money necessary to Sc
cure the $780, 900 fund for the Georges
Peabody College for Teachers. For
this the city Of Nashville deserves the
praise and thanks of the whole south.
The Peabody College for Teachers will
be the greatest institution of it's kind
in the south and it will aid il that
great work of placing southern educa-
ton on a par with that of any other
section of the United States.
