How is il accomplished By the use
of patronage. The patronage that my
friends on the other side have been
arguing and pleading for in this con-
vention is the power to continue in
visible government against the govern
ment of the people.
Everywhere that these two systems
of government coexist there Is con-
fict, day by day, year by year. between
two principles of appointment to office,
two radically opposed principles The
elected or the appointed officer who is
to be held responsible for the admins
tration of his Office desires to get men
into the different positions OF Office
who will do their work in a way that is
treditable to him and his administra-
ton. Whether it is a Pres dent making
the appointment or Governor. he
wants TO get man who can do the
work.
"On tn, other hand, the political
ooss wants TO appoint man whose APP
pointment will consolidate his power
and preserve the organization. This is
his sole motive. There is hardly a day
that | have not seen these two prin-
Ciples come to conflict in the last six
teen year. The invisible government
proceeds to build up and maintain its
power by reversal of the fundamental
principle of good government. which is
that men should be selected for their
ability TO perform the work of the posi-
tion they are assigned to. The political
boss merely sees in the appointment
the preservation and enhancement OF
his powers as a political leader. For
him the state does not exist.
HNon dalaCatae
about the use of patronage under the
invisible government is true. We all
know that the halls Of this Capito.

The Legislature on pay daya great
number seldom here, rendering no SER
vice. put on the payrolls as a matter OF
marty patronage, not Of service. Both
parties ar, alike. The system extends
through all.
Political Boss the Governor.
THAT system finds its opportunity
in the division of powers in a six
headed executive, in which, By the
natural workings of human nature.
there shall be opposition and discord
and the playing of one force against
the other, and 80. when we refuse TO

pie the real chief executive. we make
inevitable the setting up of chief ex-
ecutive not selected by the people, not
acting for the peoples interest. but
for the selfish interest Of me few who
control the party, whichever it may be.
In other words, we make the political
boss the Governor.

ROOTS PLEA WINS
FOR SHORT BALLOT
Continued from page l

tion began to adopt the report section
by section. This was done by a viva
voce vote. The noes were scarcely
audible, the opponents of the bill, after
hearing Mr.. Roots speech, having evi-
IDENTIFY lost their voices.
A little before II o'clock the conven-
ton adopted II motion to debate the
proposal until midnight, when a vote
would be taken. But the adoption of
the proposal was conceded, even by the
most rampant anti-short- ballot man.
Frederick c. Tanner, chairman of the
committee on Governor and other state
officers, which drafted the bill, said
after hearing Senator Roots speech:
at was the greatest speech | ever
heard. Had every one who spoke on
the measure previous to Mr. Root been
against IL his mastery speech would
have carried the day"
Stand by the Short Ballot"
Senator Root said in part:
eve must vote according to our con-
sciences. No legislative body is bound
legally by platform. But II there is
faith in parties, if there is ever to be
a party platform put out for which a
man can vote without sense of fu-
v,
in a confidence game; il all the declara
tions of political parties are not to be
regarded as false pretence, humbug and
n parcel Of lies, we must stand by the
principles on which we we're all elected
TO this convention. The vast majority
Of us have assured the people who
ELECTED us that we would vote for this
short ballot. for one am going to
do II"
Mr. Root tser reminded the delegates
that, while Lemuel Ely Quigg told them
that the people he met were in favor of
continuing the present order of things,
the delegates to the Republican conven-
tions in the last three years gave con
elusive proof OF public opinion by
going on record officially for the short
ballot.
There never was reform in admin
istration in this world which did not
have TO make its way against the
strong feelings Of good, honest men,
concerned in the existing methods of
administration, and who were satisfied
with them" Mr. Root declared. 1--WE
are here charged with duty, not OF
closing our eyes, but of opening them
and seeing what is wrong. Anybody
can see that all these 1872 outlying
agencies, big and little, lying around
loose, accountable TO nobody, expanding
all the money they can get, violate
every principle Of economy, efficiency
and proper transaction of business.
City Government Redeemed.
Years ago James Bryce wrote in his
American Commonwealth that the gov
eminent Of American cities was a by
word. Thank heaven, the government
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-08-31

of cities has redeemed itself and us
from that disgrace. The government of
cities to-day is in the main far su-
perior to that of our states. II has
been accomplished by applying to the
principles of city government the prin-
ciples of this bill.
what has the government of this
stat. been in the last forty years? The
government of the Constitution? No,
not half the time. When | ask what
the people find wrong in our state gov
eminent my mind goes back to those
periodic fits of public rage, in which
the people, reused up, tear down the
political leader, first of one party and
then of the other. 1t goes back TO the
public feeling Of resentment against the
control of party organizations.
From the days of Fenton, Conkling,
Arthur Cornell and Platt from the
days of David B. Hill down to the pres
ent time, the government of this state
has presented two different lines of
activity one of the constitutional and
statutory Offices. and the other of the
party leaders, the party bosses"
II was at this point that Mr.. Root at
tackled the "invisible government the
government by the party bosses.
They call the system the invisible
government" he said. For many years
Mr. Conkling was the supreme ruler in
the state. The Governor and Legis-
latures, the Controller and other elect
ed officers did not count. What Mr..
Conkling said went In a great outburst
of public rage he was pulled down.
The Capitol Platts Office.
Then Mr.. Plat ruled the state for
nigh on TO twenty years. 1t was not
the Governor. it was not the Legislat-
ure, it was not the other elected Of
ficers il was Mr. Platt. The Capitol
was not here 1t was at 40 Broadway.
where Mr.. Plat and his lieutenants
held forth. 1t makes no difference
what name you give. whether you call
il Fenton or COnkling of Cornell or
Arthur or Plat or by the names OF men
now living.
"The ruler OF the state during the
greater part of my acquaintance has
rot been any man authorized by the
constitution or by law, but the party
leader, man not Of the peoples
choosing. The party leader is elected
by no one, accountable TO no one. bound
by no oath of Office and removable by
no one
Senator Root paused and laughed
ironically.
My friends here have talked about
this bill creating an autocracy. The
word points with admirable facility TO
the opposite reason for the bill. II is
TO destroy autocracy and restore power
so far as possible to the men elected by
the people, accountable TO the people,
that this bill is designed.
81 don't critlcise the men. Some OF
them have been my dearest friends.
can't forget the deep sense Of indigna-
tion that ! felt in the abuse heaped
upon Chester A. Arthur. whom l hon
ored and loved, because he was q politi
cal leader. 1t is all wrong that a gov
eminent not authorized by the people
should be continued superior to the
government authorized BY the people.

PULSE GIVES AWAY SECRET
Alienist Tells How Doubling Swain May Ascertain His Place in
 "Her" Affections

The world s meanest man has been discovered. He is an alienist of Washington, and he has presumed to put love on a scientific basis. He has issued formula by which a doubting swain may ascertain with out fail the name of his closest rival for ''her" affections.
 Here it is:
 Carelessly hold ''her" wrist, as if caressingly. Craftily place your fore finger on ''her@ pulse. Then name over, in casual conversation, the rivals you fear most. When you name the right one '"her' pulse will jump scandalously. If it increases something like a hundred beats you might as well quit the race.
 To offset this mean betrayal the allenlst has issued some hints to the fair sex on how to avoid nervousness.
 oeofn gosslp, he says, '.and don't attend to other persons business or worry over their troubles, and you will be all right"
 But he doesn't say a word as to how Dulcinea might have kept the fatal pulse jump from giving her away.
