THE TWEED ssRTNG. ,

The first great triumph of the peo- p1e over a political boss of an Amer jean city was recorded forty years ago to-day, when William Marcy Tweed, the .tboss'' of the Tweed Ring" was sentenced to twelve years inprison- ment and fined $12,550. This was the answer of the people, as represented bv their courts of justice, to the chal- Ienee of s'bossisrn,'' tFWhat are you going to do about it ?'' Tweed, a pohti- elan for many years, was appointed commissioner of public works for the city of New York in 1s7os and the ring of which he was the leader succeeded in barefaced appropriations of vast sums of public money. The boss sneering1y confident of his ability to ''get away with the swag, ' failed to properly appreciate the pow CT of the press and outraged public opinion. Higher courts decided that the imprisonment was illegal, but up- on Tweed's release he was thrown into jail on another charge. Late in 1875 he escaped and fled to Spain, but was recaptured, returned to New York,and again imprisoned in Ludlow Street jail, where he died in 1878. The op- i've years of domination. cost the tax payers $160, 100000. Except for the newspapers, it might have cost them many times that sum.

And the enraptured audience yells it's applause, as one evoIutionist after an- other is dropped into the fiery pit. One of Mr. Sundays ministerial supporters in Toledo, Rev. pr. Wallace, after list ening to this sermon about the evo1u- ttonists, ventured to remonstrate with him privately. The next day on the platform MT. Sunday turned to the protesting minister and shook his fist in his face.
 William Ashley Sunday, to give the evangelist his full name, was born in Amos, Ia, fifty years ago to-day. and from 1883 to 1890 was professional ball player with the Chicago, Pitts burg and Philadelphia clubs of the League. He began his evangelistic career in 1896, and was ordained to the Presbyterian ministry ten years ago.

THE POLICY OF RESTORATION

In his inaugural address President
Wilson said he had come to restore
and not to tear down, or something
to that effect. His policy of restora-
ton has been started by his refusal
to lend the guarantee of the govern
ment to the proposed Chinese loan.
This is clearly a return to the old
time policy of the republic. 1t is
substantially an abandonment of
dollar diplomacy as far as the
orient is concerned.
American bankers must take their
own chances in lending money to the
new Chinese republic, without any i'm
piled assurance from the United
States that it will assist in collecting
the loan by exerting influence upon
China.
1t cannot be questioned that the
statement just issued voices the ira
ditional American policy of noninter-
ference in oversee affairs and avoid
ance of foreign entanglements. The
plea will be made in reply that Amer
lean commerce will suffer, and that
the time has gone by when the United
States could refrain from assuming
the burdens incident to participation
in the worlds affairs. Opinions will
differ as to which is the proper course
to pursue. The majority of Ameri-
cans, however, are more likely to ap-
plaud than to disapprove of President
Wilson's stand. The trade of the ORR
ent is relatively a small matter, in
which only few persons are con-
cerned. What it may be in the future
is another story. When the time
comes for expansion in that direction,
the average American will deem him
self able to hold his own with for

MUNICIPAL BATHS.

Winnipeg, Manitoba, has added to
its list of municipal ownership a pub
lie bath, and has expended during the
past year 100000 for building and
maintenance.
For some years the Importance of
providing a municipal bath had been
apparent, because of the treacherous
undercurrents of the rivers where the
children of the city have been accus-
toned to battle. Accordingly, a large
bathhouse was erected on the Red
river, at an expense of about $4,000.
1t cost approximately $4,000 to main
tain the baths during the year which
ended December 81, 1912. and the
revenue from fees of various kinds
amounted to about $500.
The baths were opened on May Z,
1912, and during the four months of
it's operation 61,2O1 paid for admit
tance and 500 boy scouts and cadets
were admitted free. OF this number
34,5O5 were men, 5,452 women, IT,
795 boys, and S,449 girls. The city
charges a fee of 10 cents for adults
and cents for children under Is
years of age. For this fee each per-
son is admitted, supplied with a
bathing suit, towel, and a piece of
soap. Before entering the bath each
person is required to take a shower
bath and be examined before entering
the plunge.
The season closed with a carnival, at
which various prizes were awarded for
excellence in certain feats. The sue
cess of the public bath had been so
marked that the authorities are con-
templating building another to supply
the needs of another section of the
civ

SAME OLD MEXICO.

News from Mexico is the same old
news, with slight variations in such
details as names, dates and localities.
There is abundant evidence that the
country is nearly as uneasy, unsafe
and distraught as it was before Ma
dero was butchered.
Fighting is reported, almost every
day, from several provinces. 1t is
not confined to any one section. The
rebels in the field are led by men OF
different types and interests whose
only bond of union appears to be
hatred of the government, as it is
now constituted.
Claims made Immediately after
the success of the Huerta-Diaz revolt
in the City of Mexico, that the insur-
gents were fast coming to terms and
laying down their arms, appear to have
been without foundation. 1t is patent
that peace has not been restored, eth
er in the vicinity of the American
frontier or in the Businesses of Ia
pata's savage bands, not far from the
capital.
Yet peace must come before any
lasting improvement in the general
state of the Mexican people can be
hoped for. Order is the first and great
est need of the nation. If it can be
established, the means used will play
a secondary part in determining the
future of Mexico.
