Reforming Tammany.

The world do move. Read this from
New York:
"The feminine electorate of the state
liwas officially recognized by Tammany
Hall today. At meeting of the execu-
ltive committee of that body special
committee was appointed to ascertain
sentiment among women's political or
carnations concerning the best method
of cooperation in party management
Robert F. Wagner, minority leader of
the \state senate, heads the committee,
which includes in its personnel Repre-
sentative Thomas F. Smith, State Sena-
tor James A. Foley and Alfred E.
Smith, president-elect Of the board of
aldermen"
The case will be we'll presented.
These ate men Of ability and good
standing. Three are in Office, and one
is about to- take Office. They are not
the Tammanyites Of everyday discus
sion. They4 will carry themselves be-
comingly inethe execution Of this COM
mission.
VIII the women respond in numbers
sufficient to affect the situationf Will
they cooperate with Tammany for the
purpose of reforming it, Shall we see
the feminine spirit show in this matter
as it sometimes does in matters senti-
mentalf Suitors with reputation for
being "a little wild" have won over
suitors of orderly demeanor. The will
ingness to take q chance and make a
man out of'a hard case is not unknown
in the realm Of Dan Cupid. 1t has in
instances led to disaster, but it persists.
A very homely man who had had the
good fortune to win an unusually hand
some and excellent woman was asked by
an intimate friend who had often
chaffed him aboutfhis lack Of pulchritude
about his extraordinary success. II had
the impudence to ask her." was the
reply. "Cheek, well expressed, is power
full
In making this overture, Tammany is
undoubtedly showing cheek. Its record
does not recommend it. Hence If these
spokesmen can secure a hearing, and
win, they will have something to be
proud Of.
If women join Tammany, or even CO.
operate with it, the purpose, Of course,
will be to reform the organization; to
make it fit instrument for municipal
control; to uplift it. And Tammany
is the supreme test. If women succeed
there, they should be able to succeed
anywhere.
The experiment will be watched with
lively interest everywhere. Tammany
has a national reputation, and a bad
one. There are sections of the country
committed to the proposition that moth
ing good can come out of the organiza-
ton; that only death can cure its in
herent defects. If this is a mistaken
judgment, and good comes out of Tam
many as the result of feminine partiei-
patton in its councils, the women will
have achieved something in politics that
will not soon be forgotten.

Financing
the War,

1
hands of the Treasury Department.
| Americas part in the war is being
financed by two means-taxation and
| bond issues. Taxation represents the
financial burden which Is being borne
by the present generation, which engag-
ed in the war. and bond issues will rep
resent the financial burden to be borne.
in part, by succeeding generations as
| their price for the liberty which we are
| fighting to preserve for them.
| In floating the two bond issues the
| Treasury Department took every means
every citizen of the United States an
equal opportunity to subscribe for the
| bonds.
In connection with floating the two
great issues the federal reserve system
afforded a great instrument for the or
ganizati ton of the necessary machinery
| to distribute Information. sell the
bonds and collect the vast amount of
government. The twelve federal re-
serve banks. which are the fiscal agents
Of the government, became the head
quarters Of their respective districts In
! whole operation was centered in the
Treasury Department, and the plan of
dealing with the several districts
through the federal reserve banks re-
able organization that handled the sit
uation expeditiously and effectively.
Great credit is due to the federal re-
serve banks. The national banks. state
banks, trust companies, private banks.
bond houses, newspapers. express COM
panies and thousands of others co-op-
Grated with the government to receive
and transmit applications for the loans
without expense to the United States or
the applicants. Never before was the
whole machinery of business and en-
terprise organized into great volun-
tary machine for service to the coun-
try. without expectation of compensa-
ton or hope of reward. except the sat-
isfaction that 1t contributed immeasur-
ably to the success of the greatest loans
of our history. and thus to the cause for
which the loans were made.
The payment of subscriptions was so
arranged as to prevent the slightest
ripple in the financial situation. This
was accomplished by redepositing in
ment the funds which were subscribed
by the banks or their customers, the de-
posits being subject to the govern
ment's call and remaining with the
banks until needed. This process avoid
ed the withdrawal of the money from
circulation and locking 1t up in the
Treasury. On the contrary, it was left
with the banks. and was available for
the countrys credit needs for with
drawal by the government as needed.
When withdrawn from one bank in set
tlement of bills or obligations it meant
simply the transfer to another institu-
ton, and in this way the money placed
to the credit of the government was
kept in constant circulation.
One of the chief purposes of the
Treasury's campaign was to distribute
the bonds widely throughout the coun-
try. The large number of subscribers,
to both loans. especially the large num-
ber of small subscribers. was gratifying
to the officials of the department who
had the work in hand of popularizing
the vast loans. 1t is their opinion that
this indicates the interest of the people,
which was aroused as never before in
an issue of bonds in this country

National Capital fifty years ago gave
rise to numerous sug-
Reorganization gestions respecting
ep.A possible reorganiza-
VI oAs'iAot' tion. In The Star of
the pending proposition:
Petitions are in circulation today
asking Congress not to renew the char
ter Of the District. but to merge the
organizations of Washington and
Georgetown and the county, and pro-
vide for their government by commits
sioners. We believe the people of this
city to be generally in favor of merg-
ing the two cities and the county, but
there are serious objections to the plan
of commissionership rule. among which
are the enormous powers put in the
hands of three individuals and the GER
tainty that the appointments will be po-
litical and of persons who have no
identity with the interests of the city
and District. The powers of the COM
missioners must necessarily be both
legislative and executive, as Congress
could not be expected to charge itself
the community. If Congress were to
assume that task it could hardly be
adequately performed. judging from the
history of the past and the fact that
such legislation as they have under
taken for US hangs over from session
to session for want of time or is hur-
ried through SO crudely, as in the case
Of the colored school bills. as to be of
doubtful Interpretation, involving us in
litigation and endless complications.
The result would inevitably be
that were the District governed by COM
missioners most of the legislation for
the District would fall into their hands
and the powers thus given three indi-
viduals over the rights and property
interests of 10000 people. without any
voice on the part of the latter. would
be the most extraordinary, unlimited
and arbitrary ever devolved upon the
same number of officials. With such
powers men must be something more
than human not to abuse them, either
to their pecuniary advantage or in a
way that would be oppressive and ty-
rannical to the people under them.
ITO our mind a much more Satisfac-
tory mode of rule for the consolidated
District would be by territorial form
of government. with an elective legis-
lature and a governor. II 1t is de-
sired to divide the powers, the governor
might be an appointeee of the Presi-
dent or the Senate. and with the legis-
lature elected by the people of the Dis
tricr the latter would still have some
voice in their affairs"

Department
Insurance.

vember 27. 1867. thus touches on the
matter:
"a department correspondent writes
US for the purpose of calling the at
tention of government clerks and
others to cheap and effectua1 way of
insuring their lives on the cooperative
plan. Let each clerk pay into a COM
mon fund 81, to be invested in United
States bond, which shall be given to
the widow or heir of the first member
Of the association who shall die. AS
soon as death shall occur and the
each member should pay another dol
lar. to be invested in like manner.
This plan, our correspondent holds,
is the cheapest and best one yet pro-
posed. 1t is assumed that there are
about 1000 clerks in the government
these shall pay their dollar. This will
make fund Of $4,000 as insurance on
the life of the first person who shall
die. Out of the whole number of
clerks, let us suppose there will be five
deaths in a year. Then for the sum Of
insured for one year for $4,000. Even
II the number of deaths should be four
times that number, it would be the
cheapest life insurance ever heard of,
and the premium. instead Of being de-
manded at one time, will be paid in
installments. so that the payment will
not be felt. It is hoped that some per-
son may take up the matter and carry
out the proposed plan of insurance.
Something like it has been undertaken
among the 1000 policemen in New
York and 1t is said to operate well.
No reason is seen why 1t may not
easily be carried out here"

ing 1900 sheep at time hitherto un-
used range for approximately $4,000 sheep
at the head of Lake Chelan. in the Che
Ian national forest, in the state of Wash
ington, has been made available for use.
This. according to grazing experts Of the
forest service, is an example of the way
in which new range on the national for
ests is being opened up in an e1ort to
increase the couptry's meat supply.
Lake Chelan, which, officers of the serv-
ice say, Is one Of the most beautiful
bodies Of water in the west, is f1fty-two
miles long. While the head Of the lake Is
accessible only by boat and narrow noun
tain trails. the lower end is convenient to
a railroad and also to the bunch grass
which the sheep men Of that region have
for many years wintered large numbers
Of sheep. They lacked summer range.
however. The summer range at the head
Of Lake Chelan, 1t is explained, is par
ticularly good, but is cut off from the
nearest ranches by a long stretch of ex-
ceedingly rough country, over which sheep
cannot be driven without severe losses.
Officials Of the forest service suggested
by a small steamer, which would make 1t
possible to transport the sheep to the
head Of the lake The suggestion was
carried out with the aid Of railroad. and
$1,000 sheep were put on this practically
new range the first season. Not only was
the national forest land utilized. but the
route up the lake offers a satisfactory
way to a large adjoining area in British
Columbia, which. though inaccessible from
the Canadian side. may now be reached
from this side.
