The Board of Estimate and Appor-

which has to do with every citizens

street lighting, garbage removal and

dialogue which might be expected
FROM inebriated longshoremen of the

the better of 1t to the extent Of put

then the quorumless board breaks into
the chamber of sick member, only
to be ingloriously expelled by Mr..

We suggest that the voters Of this
city take steps next Tuesday to inject
some dignity, sanity and efficiency
into the Board of Estimate. This can
be done by electing FIoBELLo III. LA

GOLD COIN SCALE.
Device to Detect Sweating" Used in
Missouri in Last Century.
From the Bonneville Republic

fToHt tNe boOUcUtHo HeptOuCfWs
A gold coin scale of the type 30 USE
full TO merchants In the middle OF the
nineteenth century Is one Of the relics
kept by JEFF Davis of Bonneville. Mod
ern methods Of exchange have rendered
the scale useless but 1t is In as good
condition as It was when his grand
father used II at Cole Neck sixty years
ago.
At the time b. b. Brereton set up his
little store at Cole Neck, just half a
mile north of what Is now Clifton City.
the pioneers were crossing the plains in
search for gold. Gold sweating" was
common. Particles Of gold dust were
removed from the coin so that its value
rather than its appearance suffered.
The merchant had to be constantly on
the lookout for underweight coins when
dealing with such a class of trade.
A pair OF scales was bought by Mr..
Brereton fer this purpose. brass
weight was used in balancing the scale
to get the exact weight of the coin
But the weight test was not the. only
one applied. A slot of varying size Is
in each receptacle on the scales. The
slots were for the 81. s2.50, SO. IS, SIC
and $50 coins. Coins falling to fit ex-
actly in their respective slots were re-
tected.

The most important judicial places
to be filled at Tuesdays election are
the two Justiceehips Of the Supreme
Court and the three Justiceships Of
the City Court. It is worthy Of the
attention not only Of Republicans and
independents but of Democrats who
do their own political thinking that
all FIVE Of the men nominated by the
Republican party for these places on
the bench have after careful scrutiny
received the Endorsement Of the Citi-
zens Union.
In the case of Justice NEwBuRoEp
the Citizens Union has declared that
the action OF murphy in refusing a
denomination to man with "a gen.
eation's experience on the bench has
squarely presented the issue Of pollti-
cal interference with the courts and
has aroused the public to q demand
for an Embossed judiciary" OF the
eminent Republican who Is running
with Justice NEwBunoER the Citizens
! Union says:
THE Citizens Union believes that
the high character and excellent pro-
fessional attachments Of PHILIP ].
McCooK qualify him exceptionally for
service on the Supreme Court bench,
and because Of his fitness and capac-
ity, as we'll as because he stands
| squareiy with Justice NEwBuRaER on
the issue raised. we heartily indorse
his candidacy and urge his election"
The three candidates on the Repub'
licah ticket for the City Court Jus
ticeships are a Democrat, RICHARD II
SMITH, and two Republicans, HENRY
X. DAVIS and WILLIAM CHoRosH
Justice SMITH is in the same class
with Justice NEwBuRaEB: an expert
enced Judge denied denomination by
the boss of Tammany Hall. The Citi
zens Union indorses Mr.. DAVIS and
Mr.. CHoRosH because of their higf
professional standing.
| So the task of the voter is easy Il
he wishes to rebuke political inter
ference with the bench and choose
good men for the Supreme and City
courts. When he comes to these sec
tons of the ballot he needs only t.
put his mark in the square next t.
the eagle emblem. Thus he will cas-
his vote for three Republicans ant
two Democrats, all worthy.

The Truth About DR.. Muck.

At last the secret is out. DR.. Muck,
the distinguished German conductor
of the Boston Symphony Orchestra,
returned to the welcoming arms of
Berlin, has told the world that his
heinous offence against these United
States, for which he was subjected
to sixteen months of comfortable in
ternment, was the preparation of a
score of SEBASTIAN BAcH's passion
According to Saint MATTHEW" with
out cuts. This score, he declares, was
pronounced by musical experts o. the
Department of Justice to be code
used in communication with the Ber-
lin Foreign Office, in which, curiOusly
enough, DR.. Muck was employed just
before his return to this country.
The story has singularly familiar
flavor. Musicians have on several oc-
casions been arrested for having sus-
picious musical manuscripts In their
possession. Doubtless Messrs. STRAIN
SKY and BoDANzKr have musical
ciphers, scrubbed ID pencil, yet for
, some reason they have escaped the
observation of the Administration
/ sleuths.
However, Dr. Muck Is back In the
right place. He has conveniently for.
gotten the years of favor which he
enjoyed here, and now regards us as
nation of musical barbarians. We
have lost MUCK, but We still have
SoUsA, and, as, the urbane doctor re.
marks, he Is good enough for us. II
is true that Mr.. SovsA conducts q
military concert band, not a sym,
phonic orchestra. 1t Is also true that
he has composed chiefly marches, such
as "The Stars and Stripes Forever

They Came rs Hero and Heroine
They Leave as Our Friends.

Since King ALBERT of Belgium and
his Queen ELIZABETH arrived in the
United States on October 2 they and
their party have crossed the continent
twice. visited scores of cities and ham,
let's, and participated in so many for
NAL and informal receptions that the
royal statistician, II such an official
was included In their suite, must have
been put to 1t to keep track of the
number. 1t Is an instructive COM
mentary on the esteem in which the
head of the Belgian State is univer-
sally held that only in one community
did the exigencies of local politics
produce an incident of unpleasantness
or discourtesy.
This occurred In Milwaukee where
the Socialist Mayor HoAN refused to
extend an official invitation to ALBERT,
on the ground that Socialists we're OPP
posed to kings on principle, the Hoan
code being so rigid that common po-
likeness tn the guest of the nation was
incompatible with it. Even HoAN re-
Trained from abuse of King ALBERT
as an individual.
The record is the more interesting
because ALBERT's tour of the United
States covered practically the period
Of the fall political campaign in which
the usual number of windy dema-
gogues who are doing their best to
befog the serious Issues of the cleo
lions might we'll be expected to seek
at least little notoriety by rhetorical
abuse of the institution of kingship.
Certainly had ALBERT and his Queen
been chargeable with single lapse OF
tact in any of their appearances the
incident would nave been seized upon
by some self-seeking politician In the
attempt to make 1t contribute to his
own advancement.
1t may be said that the rulers OF
Belgium, representing a truly demo.
cratic country, were received here
with complete understanding of their
constitutional status; but the true
hater of royalty takes little account
of such distinctions. To him an ED

The Stacker.

In the new working arrangement
which labor and capital and the pub
lie are striving to reach labor should
volunteer to abandon the vicious prac-
tice of limiting output wherever that
practice is followed. When leaders
Of labor instruct their followers de-
liberately to reduce the output of the
machines they are operating to sc
per cent. or go per cent. of their nor
NAL capacity they harm capital, harm
the industry, harm society, harm the
men themselves.
When a machine costing $4,000 and
capable of turning out 500 of prod
uct a day is restricted to $50 of prod
net day the loss is $50 day, $4,000
a year; $4,000 forever lost to the cap
ital invested in this machine, lost tC
the brains managing the enterprise
lost to the industry and to society
and lost to the very men responsible,
for the loss.
But the great harm to the meI
guilty of this vicious practice follow
not from the loss of money but from
loss of character. All the long wa,
up from the jungle man has sacrificed
and labored to establish character
Every worth while institution Of civil
lized life Is bedrocked In character
No man can deliberately limit tn
output of the machine he is operating
day after day without IN the EN-
doing serious violence to his owl
character.

1t cannot have escaped general OBJ
servation that the visit Of King Al
BERT and Queen ELIZABETH to the
United States was In no sense a trip
for social relaxation or entertainment.
| They did not spend their time In friv-
olous, though pleasant, gayeties. Their

ing devoted almost exclusively to the
serious and important details of man

Of his tour.
The effect of this conscientious
study Of important movements in thii
country was to disclose ALBERT and
ELIzABETH to Americans as devoted
and intelligent students of human
striving for progress toward bettel
things. keenly interested in the efforts
wise and foresighted men are making
in all civilized lands, under all forms
of government, for the improvement
Of the lot Of mankind. The Belgian
King and Queen were seen not as mere
spectators watching what others wer'
doing but as ardent participants II
the struggle. Their ambition was Il
