Fight Assured

Were there needed any additional reason
for the Coffin machine to fight to the last
against the holding of d City Manager election.
it is FURNISHED by the appointment Of William
Remy as election commissioner
Remy is named by Judge Chamberlin. The
city council viii name second member and
City Clerk Boyce viii be the third
That is a somewhat different board than j.,
obtained when the bosses rule Under the old
law for partisan elections, the party chairmen
name the commissioners.
1t is matter Of current history that the
member named by Coffin is the lawyer who ap-
pears for most Of the imported gangsters when
they are arrested
It is also matter of history that the ma
chine has won more often by fraud than it has
by the Indifference or apathy of the people. Ii
has never won by approval Of its methods or IT,,
candidates.
Relying largely upon fraud for It's victor
les, the machine undoubtedly will endeavor to
dodge an election over which Remy has con
troll
The machine does not like Remy. Ii re-
members the things he did to the machine
when prosecutor. 1t remembers the indict-
ment Of Coffin and jackson and the subse-
quent plea OF the statute Of limitations. 1t
remembers Stephenson. 1t remembers Duvall
and the crooked councilmen. And it knows
that Remy has been in position to know the
crooks in elections and where 10 hunt for
frauds and to prevent them.
Therefore the people may confidently ex-
pect that the legal forces for corruption will
begin new assaults on the City Manager law,
hunt for new excuses for the supreme court. to
throw t off the statute books or. at least pre-
vent the holding Of an election under it.
The people, in the meantime. can rejoice
that their chances for self government i'm
prove. If there is an election, with Remy ans
Boyce on the board it VIII be an honest one.

righteous anger. But that's a lie.
I was minding my own business
on my own roof, and made no effort
to keep him away from the potted
plants. For all I cared he could
take all the geranium juice he
wanted.
But he persisted in humping into
me. The roof is much bigger than
I am and there we're yards and
yards of unoccupied space to which
he might have devoted his atten-
ton.
That wasn't his way. He'd take
a good swig out of a flower pot and
then come rip roaring in my direc-
ton
It's true that at the other end of
the roof there is a daisy patch and
he seemed to act as if I we're trying
to lay him stymie. But a bee
capable of scaling the walls of a
ten-story building ought to be able
to achieve enough altitude to fly
over the head of a reclining cOlum-

but I don't see why I should break
my back to get there If nature
wants me, she knows just where
can be located
Moreover. this system of letting
the birds and flowers do the chasing
seems to work out admirably. A
street vender has found his way up
to my penthouse heights and now
the roof is riotous with geraniums.
I didn't have to turn my hand,
but merely put it in my pocket. At
the moment there are far more
flowers on the roof than ever grew
ON the rocky acres Of the Connect
cut farm.
And yesterday morning bee

Weird Beliefs on Musicians Health

opportunity for many years to OBJ
serve musicians, reports that he
knows no basis for either Of these
superstitions.
trombone and oboe players are
lust as healthy and live just as long
as do players of any other type OF
musical instruments.
There is no reason, therefore, to
suppose that the playing of an oboe
or trombone in any way injuries
health. It is not certain, Of course,
as to just how much practicing and
playing on these instruments short

No doubt the statistics for this
point depend on the irritability and
homicidal tendencies of the neigh

Senate Secrecy
s is public business

Public business is public business
When the United States senate debates the merits
Of a man nominated to the federal bench by the
President and then votes its decision in the matter
that is public business 1t is not the senaes private
business.
United States senator's as individuals have pri-
vate business Just as other individuals have. But
their vote on public issues not part of their private
business If there is anything the public is entitled
to know. it is how senators, elected by the public,
vote on every issue that comes before them This is
a right of the public transcendng any rule the senate
or any senate committee may adopt
Some senators may be ashamed of the votes they
cast on the confirmation of Irvine L. Lenroot to the
federal bench. That is just too bad, for it is no
longer secret shame. 1t is not, thanks to the fact
that one or two newspaper correspondents happen to
have better appreciation Of public rights than the
senate as whole.
We say the senate as whole since one or two
or maybe dozen-of the senators disregarded the
senates utterly indefensibe rule and gave out
through these correspondents the information to
which the public is entitled.
The senate rules committee is undertaking to
discipline those senators who let the light into the
Senates secret proceedings. They have summoned one
of the correspondents, Paul r. Mallon of the United
Press to tell who told him the facts he published.
They don't expect Maon to do this of course for
every member of the rules committee is aware that
reputable newspaper men do not violate condolences
Mallon didn't violate any law What he did was
perfectly legitimate The offenders against the SEN
ate rule were those senators who gave him the in
formation But if he doesn't reveal their Names the
rules committee may seek to convince the senate that
It's dignity has been sorely abused and that Mallon
should be taken into court and tried for contempt
of the senate What then?
Well by that time the senate probably will have
obtained little truer perspective on the situation in
which it has involved itself 1t is not likely the SEN
ate will wish to undertake to persuade twelve average
Jurors that it actually has right to transact the
public's business in secret.

CAPTAIN KIDD's DEATH

On May %, 17ol, Captain Kidd.
" historys most famed outlaw,
was executed in London
Tradition has woven so many
fanciful stories about the activities
of Captain Kidd that he has become
almost a mythical figure. Enough
of his life is known, however, to
prove false most of the stories told
about him.
In fact, there is some doubt that
he was pirate at all He insisted
to the end that his activities on
the high sea we're in the name of
the English crown.
He turned over valuable treasures
to the government. and claimed that
they constituted all the SpOilS he
had taken, but the rumor began
that he had buried vast stores on
the southern coast Of the United
States. His trial was marked by
grave injusticeS.
At one time early in his career
the Council of New York awarded
him $50 pounds sterling for services
rendered the colony. In 1895 he
was appointed by the governor of
New York province to assist in sup
pressing piracy off the coast.

Jones Is Sensible

CENATOR JONES takes a sensible
- view in suggesting that this
moth-eaten regulation which pro-
vides for secret ballots when there
is no sense in secrecy should be
changed.
1t is obvious to him, as it is to
other people. that no one outside
the senate considers such regulation
reasonable, and that it works only
when no one is interested partir"-

On the present occasion the-2 was
some curiosity as to how various
senators voted with regard to Mr.

1t was not an especially deep

was more than sufficient to spoil
the rule.

shows what the rule is worth.

Perhaps this bee was thinking of

CTILL I kept my temper and
~ never said a word until the
third collision. Even then I spoke
to him in the mildest sort of way,
which should not have caused him
either anger or fear What I said

However, there was certain blue
steel quality in my voice which
he missed. Others have sometimes

an old family motto which runs,
Don't tread on me more than five
or six times"
My mild warning threw him into
a violent rage Sounding his rattles,
he dove into me head-on and stung
me violently in the chest
Upon that instant l confess a
primitive rage OverpOWered me. I'm
not going to pretend that I did not

to kill and under the same Circum-
stances would do it again.

is willing to behave himself. 7 hope
the issue won't arise again and in
order to avoid confusion in the
future, I plan to have my chest
tatooed in large blue letters with a

pain there was the worry that it

thinking to remember whether it is
gin or whisky that you have to use
to cure a bee bite.
