THE COLLAPSE OF TAMMANY.

Three weeks ago, when they were betting two
to one on Mccall for mayor of New York, The Times
ventured that there was absolutely no justification
for such odds, and expressed its belief that the
elements in the situation justified odds on Mitchell.
At this distance, it seemed perfectly that the
drift all away from Tammany ana toward the
Fusion candidate. The police graft exposures the
death of Gaynor which opened the way for COM
pete union of anti Tammany forces; the revelations
of corruption in State affairs under Tammany; then
the impeachment of Sulzer for making these ex-
posures; the support of Mitchell by the National Ad
ministraton-all these things seemed to The Times
to warrant only one conclusion which, if reflected
by those mathematical indicia which betting odds
presumed to present, would place the advantage de-
cidedly with Mitchell.
That view is now accepted in New York, where
the betting odds are now around 2 to 1 on Mitchell
and no Tammany money coming out.
The truth is that the Tammany campaign has
utterly collapsed. The Tammany candidate Mccall
has turned out pitiful failure He was supposed
to be a solid substantial citizen; but on the stump
he has been incapable of taking care of himself ut
all. Confronted with one revelation after another
of favors he dispensed from the bench to Tammany
henchmen, and of his services a mesSenger-boy
for Murphy he has closed up all discussion of srch
affairs, and IS talking earnestly about economy as
the only issue of the campaign. He displays both
utter lack of of humor- which, if he possessed
it, would save him from associatng Tammany with
economy-and of knowledge concerning murciFal
affairs in any phase. The terrific charges that John
Hennessy Suffers graft-investigator, has been max
ing are passed over by Murphy and Mccall with
the generalization useful but unconvincinp in such
cases, that Hennessy is liar. Meantime Hennessy

THE VARIETIES OF "WELCHERS."

When one is a politician and the newspapers
print something he said which doesn't make hit
with the public, merely announces that the re-
porter lied.
This has become thoroughly established a
custom that il really authentcates the repudated in
terview.
When one is diplomat and makes fool of
oneself as one do in diplomacy by forgetting the
Talleyrand philosophy about the uses of language,
one announces that the statements are not authen-
tic. 1t is just well understood by practical people
that the statement attributed to diplomat and after
ward denounced unofficial or unauthorized was
made in the diplomats private capacity; perhaps
with and perhaps without the pledge Of confidence
but made, and representing the actual sentiments of
the diplomat
Sir Lionel Garden quoted as saving he didn I
believe the United States knew how bad things were
in Mexico; intimating that if Washington knew
more, it would act differently. 1t was very i'll
timed and badly advised observation and the London
kforeign office explains that it was unauthentic
Thereupon row of correspondents of American and
foreign newspapers and news agencies rush forward
10 say they will make affidavit to the minister's en-
plOyment of the expression.
OF course he employed il. Diplomats. politicians
statesmen presidents, everybody talks too freely at
times, and the fiction of reputation has to be in
dulged. Nobody takes it seriously; its little rough

d'savowal are carefully standardized tI.at
they practically give assurance that the reputation
is only pro forma.

A FAINT-HEARTED ADVOCATE.

An earnest advocate of District representation in
Congress said today after wadng through the STAR
lame and halting editorial of last night on that sub
ject:
The Star seems to have come around at last to
believe that representation of the District if it
wouldn't do much good, is step in the right drec-
ton.
To which another supporter of the representation
program replied:
No; the Star has discovered that the people
really want representation and going to get it.;
so the Star much opposed ever to it. is getting
in line for the inevitable. 1t will presently be ex-
planning that it for representation all the time
Remembering how the Star discovered, after the
Anderson decision in re Newman, that it had been
for Newman all the time, guess that guess No. 2
was about right.
It's mighty faint radiance that the Star twinkes
in the direction of popular government and popular
reforms in this town but on the other hand the Star
Is quite some little reflector.

BUSINESS HIGH COST OF LIVING.

In the arbitration of the wage dispute between
the Eastern railroads and the conductors and train
men, with the award now due, the summary of the
facts submitted by the railroads shows how enorm-
ously the cost of doing business has increased in
the last ten years.
1t was submitted that while the number of con-
ductors involved had increased only from 1874 in
1902 to 9,903 in 1911, the wages of conductors had
increased from Sl5,627, ,80l to S2727386l While
the number of other trainmen had increased only
from 44OOO to $1,000, the wages had increased from
nearly s2s,oOO,OOo to nearly S5l 100000. The num-
Der of all employees excluding the general officers,
conductors, and other trainmen, increased from

EUROPE AND MEXICO.

First will any one European power, alone and
without association with the others, interfere in
Mexico to the dspleasure of the United States?
Nothing could be palmer than that no power will
do that.
Second, any group of European powers unite
in making representations, group, that would
insnuate purpose to overshadow Washington?
The failure of the European concert in Bahama
answers that question There is concert of Europe.
1t is we'll enough for President Wilson to issue
proclamation that will indicate that this Govern
ment would view with displeasure any interference
with its Mexican program; but it is wholly unneces-
sary. Europe has its own fish to fry.
If there is Intervention in Mexico it will be IN
terventon by the United States. There will prob
ably not be intervention. The American Admnistra-
ton and the American public are at one in the wish
to avoid it. The London government has great
program of social and economic reforms to which
it desires to. give undivided attention. The Wash
ington Government is in exactly the same situation

A purse was raised and Sam was told

Good Stories
Passed the Plate.

vt was a street car conductors duties
in the church of which he was a
i member to take up the collections
one day; and, as it happened, his
first experience of such duties, says
the National Monthly. He was a little
nervous as he started down the center
aisle, but that soon wore on, and he be-
gan to feel almost at home
There were several children in the
first pew. Each put in a penny. The
people in the next row also contributed
something each.
A big. glum fellow sat alone in the
third pew. The new collector passed
him the plate. but the man shook his
head and stuck his hands deep into his
pockets.
Thereupon our friend the conductor
stopped. put up his hand as IL to jerk
the bell cord, and said:

4ls,Ooo to $4,000. Their wages increased from

4lSOOO to 54S,OOO Their wages increased from
S230OOOOOO to S39S, 100000.
In the tables offered as evidence the average
annual wages of conductors go from S993 to ST $40;
of other trainmen from S623 TO S949. The average
annual wages of all employees, excluding the gen.
eral officers, conductors, and other trainmen, in
creased from $3.50 to S727.
Singularly enough it was shown that in that
time of greatly increasing labor cost the revenue
train miles per conductor decreased from 23406 to
22437 and the revenue train miles per conductor
ard other trainmen" from 6l,12l to COOS.
Of course there had TO be some Offset against
this record of increased costs or the railroads
financial back would have been broken. If there
was increase of rates to speak of, there was an
increase in the average tranload from 3643 tons to
4572 TONS The number of freight cars per freight
train mile increased from 27l6 in 1902 to 32.04 in
1912. The number of passenger cars per passenger
train mile from 395 to 5.25. The tons moved per
freight conductor" on fourteen railroads increased
from I,655,443 in 1902 to 2O6s,29s in 1912. The
revenue per freight train mile increased from S. 40
to S2e5. But the operating revenue per dollar of
wages paid conductors and other trainmen de-
creased from S1576 in 1902 to Sl326 in 1911. The
revenue train mile per dollar wages conductor,
from 236 to 1914; of other trainmen from 1873 to 49,
Intensified traffic enabled railroads to meet
vastly increased costs without much of an increase
in traffic charges anywhere. and with none at all in
most places. But suppose railroad business had not
grown as it did grow! 1t is very doubtful whether
tine roads could have increased their operating ex-
penses as they did increase them and escaped bank
ruptcy And suppose with labor and all other costs
thus elevated and with still new costs png on top
of that all the time, the growing business of the
railroads in years should turn about and start
to 60 down hill Then undoubtedly there would have
to be an increase of rates or many, perhaps nearly
all, railroads would crash into financial disaster
Nobody can believe that wages ought not to
rise, as the things they consume rise, sufficiently
to give the wage-earner of unimpaired efficiency
at the very least good living he had before.
There must be something desperately wrong If
humanity should not continue to live better instead
of worse than in previous generations.
But increased costs of production and of service
cannot multiply without reappearing in prices-wlth-
out standing out still further magnfed in lgher cost
of living. Wages going up given distance only to
put living costs up equal or greater distance,
obviously aren't gain for the public. Freight rates
going up so as to pay higher wages all to come out
in still higher living COSTS obviously aren't gain to
the public.
But If the railroad wage-earner must live the
railroad employing him must live, it can't 60 on
paving him so that he can live. And the railroads
showing is only typical of the higher cost of living
of all business.
