MUNICIPAL RESEARCH.' Last week Dr. Albert Shaw of the Review of Reviews addressed the New York Chamber of Commerce and discussed the work of the New York City branch of the Bureau of Municipal Research, which is composed of business and professional men. This li all the more interesting to Indiana basinets men In view of the great en thusiasm which they have displayed In bringing Into the lime-light the country business in this state. ' The bureau in New York does not deal in glittering generalities nor sounding brass. It goes Into details and very minute ones at that, which have shown up that great organization of Tammany. As an instance of that work it Is well to recall a small ex ample. In one of the New York City offices It was necessary to have some coat hooks Installed. The number required was 165 and the quality was of the ordinary wire variety which are regarded as expensive when the retail dealer asks you five cents for them. The inventor and manufacturer of these articles advertises them as being; easily put up on account ' of the gimlet screws attached. ; For these the citizens of New York were forced to pay $117.10 notwith standing the fact that the whole lot could have been purchased by any one of the tax payers for considerably less than ten dollars. This was not all. Of coarse these useful articles had to be put Into place. This extraordinary , labor r took two skillful Tammany carpenters the slight period of thirty-one days to put them Into place and for their services they were only allowed the ridiculously low amount of $248. A business house in that city would hare paid $15 for the hooks and the work of putting the minto place, the city paid only $365.10. There are many instances of this sort of thing all over the country. "When a man gets into office he loses all the knowledge which once was his, on such small trifles as wire hooks ana coei oi iaoor. Tne enormous pressure of business is of course responsible for It Therefore it is well to have a bureau of lazy business men who are wofully ignorant on such lit tle detafls to look over the budget and go to the trouble of finding out Just how much things really cost It some times happens that as in the above case the incompetnet business men have found that things can be done a trifle cheaper than the ordinary offi cial had dreamed was possible.. Like every disease the way to start the cure for graft is to find out what Is the matter. The bureau therefore has skilled accountants and special ists. These men enable the bureau to make plain to any citizen when he Is being done. It enables any one in terested to keep tab on the city and county governments. The bureau however does not stop with merely pointing out that certain things are wrong that is only the beginning of its labors. Just now it happens to be engaged In the revision of the charter of the clly of New York. It Is an organization of suggestion and construction as well as criticism. Valuable as criticism is in arousing the public conscience it Is not effective unless backed up by the suggestion of a practical remedy. It is to be hoped that the movement undertaken in this state by the business men will be along the lines and the ideals of the New York Bureau of Municipal Research. If so. the com munities aueciea wui owe them a debt of gratitude. THE DOWN TRODDEN BERRY. CRANThe national council of horticulture Is suffering agony of a very real sort over the tragedy of the cranberry, '"The cranberry is the least under stood and mostabused of any of our native fruits." How many a cranberry has passed out of this cruel world, misunderstood, Its motives questioned, and its character ruined forever! "Ain't" it awful! Poor, timid, pale, pink little creatures, defenseless. Mute and In-

R. P. Hobson Criticizes President Naval Hero Claims That United States Fleet Should be Kept

in Pacific to Ward Off Further Troubles.

Akron, Ohio, Nov. 24. Congressman Richmond P. HobBon, has sent a letter to President Roosevelt demanding that he rescind his orders recalling the United States fleet from the Pacific. In his letter he scores President Roosevelt for his Interference In the Japanese troubles In California. "Our presidents have invariably re fused to Interfere in local matters. even when foreign subjects were being glorious little things the Chattertons of the vegetable kingdom. Why look at the history of the cranberry. Many a cranberry's life has been crushed out of it, or a worse fate has overtaken it in being stewed to death. Talk about the horrors of the Inquisition! Why not treat the cranberry right? Although it is a domestic fruit, why not have a closed season for a few weeks every year in order to allow it to recuperate from the ravages of the holiday season. Be humane. Try to understand the character of the downtrodden cranberry. In regard to morganatic marriages with an American heiress. It Is safe to say that they are always a failure be cause they preclude the only object which the American girl has in marrying a titled foreigner. The carpet factory in which young Roosevelt is working has just received a few orders from the government which amount to $500,000. This looks as if young Teddy ought to get a raise. And yet it must be a shock to the enemies of Mr. Cannon to have him declare for tariff rev'-sion. If you buy your Christmas presents early you will acclimatize your husband to the bills. Did J. D. have wicked partners? would seem so. It $40,000 IN BAD BILLSJISTRIROTEO Chicago Police Rounding Up Counterfeiters. Chicago. Nov. 24. The $5 silver certificate counterfeit grows apace.

Lodge Not the Cause of Slaying of Elk Lodge Committee Says Animals Are Becoming Extinct Because of Lack of Good FeedingWould Have Animals Protected by Government.

Philadelphia, Nov. 24--Saying that the charge that the members of the Benevolent and ; Protective Order of Elks is not responsible for the slaying of elk for the purpose of obtaining their teeth as watch charms Is not true, but that the elk have died by hundreds in Wyoming, where they are in the greatest numbers, for lack of good feeding grounds, the commission of the Grand Lodge of Elks, composed of Governor James J. Higgins, of Rhode Island, who Is also here on his honeymoon; D. A. Preston, of Wyoming, and Daniel Shern, of this city, yesterday met in this city.

assassinated," writes Hobson, "but In this case, Mr. President, you did Interfere where foreign subjects were not being harmed. 'If you were justified then in calling on the people of San Francisco to surrender, you are not justified now In withdrawing the fleet and again placing them and their neighbors on the whole coast in precisely the same defenseless position."

UNITY ISNECESSARY Strength of Union Movement Depends on This, Says Gompers. TALKS TO BUILDING TRADES Denver, Nov. 24. The Building Trades department of the American Federation of Labor began considera tion of many questions referred to it by the parent organization. Sixty delegates, representing 19 trades and about half a million workers, were present at the opening session of the convention. President James Kirby, of Chicago, presided. President Gompers spoke for the American Federation of Labor and he advised the delegates not to do any thing in the course of their deliber ations that might Injure the cause of the trades union movement, no matter how much it might advance the cause of some individual building trades or ganization. "Nothing could be more disastrous than the weakening of the bonds of unity among the laboring men," said Mr. Gompers. "One let the employer understand that the spirit as well as the fact of union has been destroyed and he will soon 'have one employe pitted against the other, as well as organizations as a whole."

WOULD HAVE EMPEROR AGREE J0"MUZZLE" Wilhelm Fails to Attach His Signature. Berlin, Nov. 24. The Kreuse Zeltung says that Chancellor Von Beulow took with him to Potsdam last Tuesday on the occasion of his interview with the emperor a document for the empeTor to sign, which has not yet seen the light. The Tageblatt has ascertained in Parliamentary circles that this was a pledge to impose self-restraint upon himself in talking with strangers, especially Journalists, but apparently the emperor failed to affix his signature. The paper states that the Chancellor had shown the document to several of the Ministers and conservative members of the Reichstag, including President Stolberg-Wernigerode.
