7Ae Democracy and Tammany.
Tammany Hall at a recent confer

of reaolutlona In which the organlsa- .
lion oppoae* municipal ownerahlp and
point* out that departure aa a mere
subterfuge thmiigh which a<|clallam

prlalriK that a large portion of the
democratic prea* throughout the coun

sented by thla reaaaertlon of Tarn
many'a life to pouf out column on
column of diatribe against the organ

b« aided by every picayune congTeaa
man hailing from a backwooda dlatrlct ,
and he more remote from advancing
Intelligence than the conatltuenta he j
aervea.
It la the faahlon between elect lone
for rural democracy to lay It* defea 1
at the door* of Tammany. The re
aponalble cauaea of dlacomllture are
alwaya able to hide thcmaelvea and
hance their perennial mischief. But
Tammany la alwaya to the fore. It
may eaperlence a temporary set-back.
It may go down with the entire party.
But It revive*. It come* up atrong ,
and active.

preparing to take up the campaign
which rosultsd In making Dr. I’srk- ,
hurst famous, or the reverse, as you
will. Dr. Pet«>re has given a great
deal of attention lately to the ques
tion of the drink habit among women,
as If there wns anv novelty In that
aperies of depravity among a frag
ment of femininity. No one who has
lived a few year* In the world need
hs told that there are women who do
things of which they* should he
heartily ashamed, were thst sentiment
an aetlve force In their living prin
ciples Further than this everyone of
even a moderate experience knows full
well that there are young girls, sad
that It should he »o. who have run
the gamut of the affections before they
are out of their teens. Improper do
meetlc restraints, rather the entire
lack of them, an' responsible for the
ruination of girlhood before It has
stepped on to the threshold of woman
hood and as they advance in years
the female boozers and tipplers are
recruited front this class. But Dr. Pe
ters must not draw 100 wide a con
clusion. The proportion of girls thus
brought tip Is small, for which we are
thankful, as compared with those
whose ripening womanhood and grow
Ing affections are carefully watched
by discreet and wisely provident par
entage.
But Dr. Peters has now varied his
theme Hs declares thst rich men
own the buildings in New York which
are used as dens of vice. Assuredly
If poor men were the owners thslr
poverty would be at an end, so that
It Is Just not clear what the minister
U driving at unless It be that rich
men are responsible for vice. There
are, of eouree, various characters of
vies suited to the character of the in
dividual seeking it. All who are dis
posed may take a shy at It and the
rich and poor alike are found of the
number so disposed.
Dr. Madison Peters Is only one more

Pessimism la now rampant In a

has been brought about by allowing

The present congress should lose no
■time In seizing the situation which
the stupidity of the capitalists of the
country has created regarding the
I formal lon of a new party whose only
purpose will he to carry out the be
bests of the labor unltyi*. Congress,
by wise action, can i *dC'' on the stat
ute hooka law* of guarantee which In
: right and reason should have been
there long ago. The question na be
i tween employer and employe Is see
iondary to the question of public order.
Since the capitalists have shown an
unwillingness so pronounced to mnko
a fair and equal division of their prof
its with the men who earn these prof
its for them It becomes the duty of
the state to Intervene
That proposition will meet with 1
opposition from the entire class, per
haps, of employers, but that fact does
not in tho slightest degree diminish
Its force and feasibility. Indeed, the
situation now brought about by tho
formation of an active labor party in
politics relegates the argument as to
the feasibility or antecedent right of
the stHte to Intervene.
| The course suggested may be one of
(opportunism, hut even opportunism
has wisdom on Its side In certain eon
ttngencles. Thai such a contingency
has arisen no foreseeing man will
, deny.
It Is not yet 100 late for members
'of congress to take the wind out of
the talior party sail.
Wise laws favoring the Just de
j ntands of labor will go a long way to
I remove the new disturbance. An

lar case a thousand times better than

Human» Effort.
A pcoullar sort of afTHctlon, aptly
described as faddy degeneration of the
brain, has for a long time prevailed
amoug a class of people In this conn-
I try. There are many people of wealth
and leisure whose most absorbing
eare Is to beguile (he time which Is
(so burdensome to them. They have
sought for diversions and these they
have found In amiable puerilities or
meddlesome humanities. Animals of
every species except man have corns
In for a degree of care and the geal
which directs the effort In their behalf
would seem to be directed stronger
against man the offender than beßst
the offended.
Pythagoras was one of the wisest
men of ancient times. By his fellows
he was called the priest of nature, be
i cause of his gentle feeling toward
dumb animals. In order to save these
latter from the brutalities to which
they were subjected he excogitated a
i theory of life which he denominated
the transmigration of snuls. Accord-'
lag to the Pythagorean theory the
animating principle of ell animals of
the lower order* wa* once the soul of
a man. The philosopher Is credited
with simply advocating thl* theory
a* a civilising agency. In recent
times, though, the question propound
ed by him a* a basin baa altogether
been left out of the problem while I
steadily adhering to the purpose.
But why all thla waste of precious
thought and time? Alexander Pope
laid down the duty of man In hla line,
"the proper study of mankind I* man."
That Is a sufficiently wide field of
study and It will give ecope and ac
tivity to the moat diversified talents.
It matter* not what la hi* descent;
that Is only a question for an anti
quarlan. He Is a living, breathing
personality whose presence la seen
and felt. He will make himself seen -
and felt despite the effort of self-suffi
cient excluslvlam to cut him. The
problem, then, should be how to util
ise him. how to bring him Into accord 1
with prevailing conditions, or how to
modify the conditions to suit his
need*.

There can lie no doubt now. since

how to "keep school." Hazing at An

Loat Reputation* of American Finan
cial Leaders.
Just now the American people are
receiving some painful lessons in prac
tlcal ethlca. They are having brought |
borne to them with sever# emphasis
the distinction between character t
and reputation. A man's true charac
ter, It abundantly appears, may be!
quite In conflict with hi* reputation,
which la the public estimate of him.
Of late w e have been watching repu
tations melt away like snow before

have been trusted Implicitly by their
fellows and ao placed in positions of
honor and grave responsibility are
seen to be mere reckless speculators
with the money of other* and petty
pllferar* of the savings of the poort
and needy. With all this shameful
story spread before us. It takes aorae
courage to follow Kmerson's advice
not to bark against the had, but rath
er to chant the beauty of the good.
Put bluntly, the situation which con
fronts Americans today Is due to lack ,
of moral principle. New statutes may
be needed, but statutes will not put
moral principles where It does not
exist. The greed for gain and the
greed for power have blinded men to 1
the time-old distinction between rignt
and wrong. Both among business
men and nt the bar are to be fouuu
advisers, counted shrewd and succeas- |
fill, who have substltnted the penal
code for the moral law, as the stand
ard of conduct. Right and wrong
have given way to the subtler distinc
tion between legal and illegal, or bet
ter. perhaps, between law, honest and
dishonest. The new triumph of
mind over morals is TOT! itough In It

GLIMPSE ATTHE BEAUTY SHOW
(By Kate Burr, in Buffalo Times.)
Somebody asks for a comprehensive t
subject. Blondes and brunettes will
do. That —including the intermediate
shades —touches everybody. The
theme renews a rivalry that has last
ed ever since the humiliating ances
tral days Darwin tells us about.
Whleh yon admire the more, blondes
or brunettes. Is of course a question
of tsste. And we know, by the proverb
and by sad experience, that for tastes
there's no accounting.
In point of beauty, really I can't
understand why either brunettes or
blondes should have the preference.
It nil depends on the eyes with which
you see. To hear p certain young man
rave, one would suppose that the an
gelic, golden-haired. Little Eva type of
loveliness was the only kind of good
lookb In the world. But right by the
side of that young man sits another
who smiles maliciously when his
neighbor expatiates on the charms of
hhie eyes nnd yellow tresses, and who
talks marvelous day-dreams about
some Ideal creature with midnight
eyes and raven hair.
By the way, two girls who every
day or so have the privilege of over
bearing these rapturous comparisons, 1
Morgan Sees the Pope.
The private audience which tho
I’ope granted to J. Pierpont Morgan
Hast week took place in the private
study of His Holiness, and lasted ten
! minutes. The Pope Inquired about tho
health of President Roosevelt, for
whom he expressed unfailing admira
tion as a promoter of peuce.
The Pontiff referred gratefully to
Mr. Morgan's restitution of the Aseoll
cope, which he bought In ignorance
of It having been stolen.
1 hope that you will be content In
the future to admire Italian art with
out coveting possession of it," re
marked His Holiness, Jokingly.
Mr. Morgan rejoined in the sams
vein that he would not buy any more
treasures which he might have to re
i store.
The conversation was entirely gen
; eral and conducted through au inter
preter. The Pope inquired Interested
Iji about Mr. Morgan's motoring trips
and expressed fear that he, too, if ho
couid ioave the Vatican, would fall
a victim to those "wonderful ma
chire s which annihilate space." Tho
Pope said that some of hts cardinals
bad made himself almost envious hv
describing to him the delights of mo
' toring.
Leaving the Pope's presence. Mr
Morgan was conducted to the cabinet
office of Merry del Val, papal secre
tary of state, with whom he had a
long conversation lu English.
Mr. Morgan said, nfter the audi
ences. that the Pope is oue of the
finest and salntliest men he had ever
met. He gave a handsome donation
to Peter's pence, it was reported
after the great financier's visit that
he had offered again to reorganize the

on their investment. But high offi

say both the idolaters are silly. But
then, the girls are of mixed tempera
ment —not exactly blonde or brunette.
And they speak with emphasis of the i
folly of going to extremes.
Blondes and brunettes are said to
differ in disposition as they do in ap-,
pearance. Theoretically, the blonde is
a mild, sweet, limpid being, altogether-)
restful, only just a little poky.
The brunette is spirited, strong
minded and energetic. Except when
she's a Creole. Then she's deliciously ,
languorous.
People who classify blondes and
brunettes this way serenely overlopk
the fact that there are blondes with
a temper like a Malay running amuck,;
anil that there are blondes who'
wouldn't Jump at a cannon fire- j

They say Ihe brunette is truer in
love than the blonde. Well —perhaps.
But the brunette has been known to
exhibit skill in the gentle art of play- j
ing the Jilt.
