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.

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.
