Teaching The Grafters A
The reform wave that swept over
Philadelphia on Tuesday wasn’t
confined to that city. It touched
every part of Pennsylvania, It
seemed the people were determined
to teach the grafters a* lesson.
Pennsylvania is one of the strong¬
est Republican states in the union.
It gave President Roosevelt more
than a million and a half majority.
On Tuesday it gave Mr. Berry, the
Democratic candidate for state
treasurer, about 100,000 majority
Could there have been a more em¬
phatic announcement that the peo¬
ple of Pennsylvania are afraid of
the Republican political macbin.*
in that state—that they do not
trust the men the machine put as
candidates for offices?
It has been only a week or two
since the Enterprise National Bank
of Pittsburg failed. It was found
that it had been loaded up with the
stave’s money and then looted by
Republican politicians. That open
ed the eyes of the people. Jt warn¬
ed them that the Republican party
in Pennsylvania bad been in power
too long and that it was so corrupt
that it was dangerous to trust it.
The State Treasurer under the
law has the allotment of the state’s
funds among the banksof the state.
The people, after the developments
in connection with the failure of
the Enterprise National Bank,
came to the conclusion apparently
that it wouldn’t be advisable to
elect to the office of state treasurer
any one who had been nominated
by tho Republican ring. So the
Republican candidate was defeated
and a Democrat was chosen.
As a rule the people understand
quite well when a party has beta
unfaithful to its trust. They can¬
not be fooled by partisan appeals.
They will put their seal of disap¬
proval on a party when it is made
evident that it is dominated by
corrupt men and political trick¬
sters. The machine organs of the
Pennsylvania Republicans appeal¬
ed day after day to the Republicans
of the state to stand by tne Repub¬
lican ticket in Philadelphia and m
the state, but the appeals fell on
unwilling ears. They made no
impression.
That the Republicans knew
what they were about is shown ty
the fact that with the exception ot
the state treasurer the Republican
state ticket was elected. The peo¬
ple were determined apparently
that a man chosen by the ring
shouldn’t be put into the office
that had charge of the states
money.
In Ohio, another strong Repub¬
lican state, the Republicans were
given a lesson. The people were
dissatisfied with things done by
ihe Republican Governor and with
Republican rule generally, and so
they elected the Democratic state
ticket. The party that doesn’t
make the men it puts into office
give the people intelligent and
honest government is pretty cer¬
tain to be disciplined by them
soqner or later.—Savannah Morn¬
ing News.

FIKST FA'RE
[Copyright, 1906, by K. A. Whitehead.]
For the third time a coachman called
to Carton to move along that oth
ers might drive up to the ctirb, and
■with a muttered expression of disgust
at the length of time it^Jpok Fred
Howell to select a cigar Hugh Carton
ran his automobile across the street
and fell In line behind two other cars
drawn up beside the square. He did
not notice that the others belonged to
a sight seeing company until a musical
voice inquired what his terms were.
Carton looked down into the face of
an exceedingly pretty girl and flashed
a glance at the cars ahead. In an In¬
stant he comprehended the situation.
"Dollar an hour,” he said gruffly, touch¬
ing his leather cap with what he con¬
gratulated himself was a good Imita¬
tion of a chauffeur’s salute.
“I shall want you about three hours,”
she said simply and waited while he
sprang down and opened the door In
the back of the tonneau. In another
moment they were speeding up the
street.
From the corner of his eye he caught
a glimpse of Fred Howell standing on
the hotel steps, and his conscience
smote him. He had promised Howell
n run, but still ^it was not his fault
that it took his friend so long to pick
out cigars while he remained outside
to be tempted by the prettiest girl he
had ever seen.
He could take Howell out at any
time. This was his one chance with
the pretty girl. Perhaps after awhile
he could tell her that he was not a
professional chauffeur. Before they
had gone half a mile he had built an
air castle In which his first fare was
established as chatelaine, and then sud¬
denly the fare wrecked his castle.
“Turn down the next street to 274,”
she ordered, and obediently Carton
drew up. “I want to send my mother
out for a drive,” she said sweetly.
“Give her a good view of the city and
keep the rest for yourself.”
She ran up the steps, while Carton
stared blankly at the five dollar bill
she had thrust into his hand. For a
moment he was tempted to follow her
up the steps, give the money to a ser¬
vant and drive off. Then came the
comforting reflection that perhaps It
might be easier to establish himself
witji the mother than with the daugh¬
ter, and he waited.
A few moments later he was sorry
he had not done so, for down the steps
came one of the most eccentric figures
he had ever seen. Her clothes bore
the stamp of seasons gone before, and
a hideous blue veil screened a face
sharp and angular.
She fixed herself comfortably In the
seat, and with a querulous, “Don’t go
too fast, young man,” they started.
It was torture to Hugh to skim
through the residential district with
this old figure lu the tonneau, and
more than one surprised glance follow¬
ed the automobile and the oddly as¬
sorted pair. Even the hope of being
able to win the old lady's favor van¬
ished when, after several attempts to
engage her In conversation, she leaned
forward and In her high pitched voice
said: “It’s no use to talk to me, young
man; I’m deaf, and I wish you would
not turn round; you make me nervous,
you can’t see where you are going.”
ne heaved a sigh of relief when at
last lie deposited her before her own
door and was free to escape. He did
not even catch a glimpse of the girl
who had lured him to his fate.
It was late when he entered the
Howells’ drawing room that evening.
The butler was just announcing din¬
ner, and there was barely time to make
hurried greeting to his hostess and
offer his arm to his companion.
Before each plate on the long table
stood a characteristic favor, and the
laughter was long and loud when he
picked up the tiny silver and gilt cigar¬
ette holder fashioned in the form of an
automobile that stood at his plate.
The laughter became a shriek when,
on lifting the lid, he discovered a five
dollar bill in stage money.
As bravely as he could he faced the
storm of laughter and Jeering remarks
which followed, but not until he
caught sight of Howell at the other
end of the table, fairly convulsed with
mirth, did lie discover the secret of bis
undoing, for beside the Joker, red and
unsmiling, was his fare of the morn¬
ing.
When they liad all returned to the
drawing room balm was poured upon
his wounded feelings, for the girl came
up to him.
“I want to apologize to you, Mr. Car¬
ton,” she said bravely, "for my inno¬
cent complicity in the joke my cousin
has played upon you.
“I am Mabel Norton, Fred’s cousin,
and aud It was recommended he who pointed you out to j
me you as the most
careful of the public drivers. I assure
you that I had no idea that he was
playing a joke upon rue.”
"It is all right,” said Carton. “I was
playing a joke upon you, you see? I
I
-after awhile—I might be able to tell j
you that you were my guest and uot
rny fare. Anyway—perhaps—well, I
hope your mother enjoyed the ride.”
After that things progressed famous¬
ly. Following the first trip, Carton’s
automobile was at the door of 274 ev¬
cry pleasant afternoon. It was In the
automobile. Indeed, that she promised
