Open Season for Bosses.

Murphy refuses to consider the National Demo-
cratic Clubs removal of him by resolution as final
sim the leader Of Tammany Hall, and I'm going to
remain the leader Of Tammany Hail." he asserts
dehantly. Resolutions don't 60" with him any
more than did injunctions 20 with McKane Yet
the McKane injunction finally did 60 And McKGne
went The McKane injunction merely pre-
liminary What Murphy can't understand is that In
mis- case resolutions and indignation meetings and
the like are necessary prellmnare1 to the vote at
the primaries or in committee which will retire
him.
Murphy has encountered resolutions before. The
Democratic League, the Empire State Democracy
or whatever sweet name the antiMurphy Demo-
Gratis used at that particular moment, has removed
him by resolution, and resolves OF various brands
have assailed his simple and effective manner OF
running conventions. He has waxed fat through
therl so he has certain bosslike justification for
his belief that he can live through the present
uproar
He was never more mistaken in his life. II Is
now the open season for bosses. They and their
agents are being convicted for selling nominations
District attorneys are convcting highway grafters
with political connections. Committee treasurers
and 'bagmen" being indicted for blackmaing
campaign contributions out of contractors and occa-
sionally pleads guilty in order to escape worse
fate The public cheers every time some prosecu-
tor gets the goods a politician. That same
public considers Murphy the head Of the whole
scheme OF invisible government which has be-
fouled New York State.
II is thumbs down" for him. He can make
good fight. for he has political machine and
money at his disposal But In the face Of the anti

mucb more powerful TO guarantee him safety. The

II is all very well for the commission to tell
the railroads that they can save good deal Oh
revenue by disseminating such allowances In most
cases these compacts could be discontinued TO tne
great benefit of the roads making them. But Tie
commission has known for many years that such
agreements existed the schedules for them having
been filed In its office. 1t has not hitherto Deeh

railroads and It's insisting on ending an I'M

I'D the question of giving the roads square uea'

pretext for procrastination.
The country will approve the commissions urg-
inc the railroads to discontinue allowances 10

far more interested in seeing the commission re-
dress little the balance of many successive years
OF encroachment on railroad revenues. The govern

new burdens by a provision for larger INCOME
Even now more wage arbitrations Certain TO be
decided against the roads, and more demands lor
safety appliances maturing. Yet, instead OF
discussing the general question of farer DIVISION
of the costs of beterments in wages and equipment
the commission wants to give its prior and exclu-
sive attention to the side issue of industrial spur
allowances.
The bigger question should not be obscured by
the smaller. notable stimulation of industry
and business would result from a definite assurance

they are not expected to submit indefinitely to the
creation of ten new of expenditure without

Sir: In your editorial yesterday. under
the heading Fair Play for Women" you
say Fire Commissioner Adamson finds
that various duties OF the bureau can be
performed by women just as ably as by
men. so they are TO be appointed on an

Arden informed the Commissioner that.
