Thro har Ti'fn. many trju'dlfs in Now York politic?. th4 theater of events which frequently havo a na-t!on-widr slRTJlMVano, but none has brn more thrilling or pathetic than that -which co?t State Trns. John J. Kennedy his Uf. It reveals with utartlinff distinctness th rfl.lionpjty and moral degradation to which men de..;end to accomplish their sordid enn. Af treasurer of the state of New York Kennedy had large sums of money at his disposal, and the distribution of th . funds was a part of the patronage controlled by his office. It supplied a means of compensating those to whom ho was politically Indebted. The distributions were therefore made not with a special view to convenience, safety and fairness hut for the beneiit of those in control of state politics. Tho money paid into the treasury by the taxpayers of the state was virtually appropriated and used by individuals for their private purposes. New York politicians and the financial interests behind them were the beneticiaries. The Kraft inquiry started by Dist. Atty. "Whitman developed this fact, and It was contrary to statements mado by State Treas. Kennedy before the gTand jury. Tho perjured treasurer faced the exposure of his duplicity and the necessity of naming the rr.cn h had favored. "My God:" he cried, "do they want a man's very sr.ul?" They did. ' They Insisted that Kennedy should turn his soul inside out and expose Its blackness. He did not 1 ..ve tho courajre to face the ordeal. He killed Tilmpel. This does not prevent the vhole truth coming out. It merely add.s one more name to the li.t of these whoso honor and lives have- paid the penalty of their corruption. Kennedy's .accounts were' correct. lie probably considered himself an honest man. but he consented or was forced to conform to a system of politics which has become a stench in the nostrils of the nnhlic a n c i t i j rv ro i r i L n o i : . Though a certain newspaper humorist is of the opinion that the sight of a real Job would drive the unemployed out of the larpe cities it is doubtless true that there are at this season thousands of men who are involuntarily idle. It is this certainty that has impelled tho national industrial commission to make an investigation. The questions to bo determined are as to whether the present lack of employment is due to an unusual slackness in the demand for labor, as to what extent unemployment is an annually recurring public problem In latRo cities during the winter months, and as to the causes of widespread unemployment and in what means it rouid be decreased by cooperation between employers of migratory labor. The bof?y of tho workingman is not so much a matter of wages as of uncertainty of employment. Hxcept in the comparatively few instances, such as miners, stelworkers. etc., where "employes work under contracts covering a term of years workingmen are certain of employment only from day to day.

Commissioner Caminetti does not believe that such marriages are binding upon the United .States nor that this country is bound by any treaty agreement to recognize them, and urges that action be taken to abolish the practice. Doubtless it would result in another "misunderstanding" with Japan, but that is of trilling importance with the possible consequences of permitting the importation of Japanese wives to continue.
FROM 'WAY RACK. A youns man killed himself a few days ago, and left a note telling why he did it. He wrote thai he was too weak to fight the battle of life. His greatest weakness vas mental, he declared. He had convinced himself that he had no show at all liecause he knew that his ancestors had not been successful. The meaning of success to him, :nay "have been the getting together a whole lot of money. And in
their failure O do that. 50 or 100 or
more years ago, when conditions were not as they are now, the young man thought his forebears were "weak." Judging from his letter, written before he drank poison, he hu( read up on the subjects of Inheilted weaknesses, diseases and such. He had become interested In these questions by the theories and dreams of eugenist faddists. It's too bad he did not read Luther Rurbank's explanation of how he perfected the white blackberry. According to that horticultural wizard, there is no previous record of a pure white blackberry. Yet there must have been one 'way back somewhere, else how could ho have reproduced it? Ho found a small, 4.ll-flavored, yellowish brown berry and interbred it with a larpje, luscious blackberry. In the first generation the blackberry was tho stronger but the qualities of the other berry were still in the offspring. Tho second generation showed greater indications of returning to th traits or color of the more obscure grandparent tho white blackberry. In still later generations, a greater reversion took place and the pure white blackberry, of fine flavor, "an Inheritance from a remote and long forgotten ancestor," was finally produced.
not of that at the time. Iattle did he know that those Bibles would place him in the halls of congress. All he thought of them was merely the sordid dollars involved. He had been trying to get through college on a basis distressingly free from vulgar wealth. Throughout his first two years he was obliged to wash his own clothes and hadn't even a Jeweler fraternity pin to call his own. It was no fun or at least not much fun and vhen the representative of a publishing house came along talking of the great riches to be derived front selling books, Quin barkened unto the siren call of money.

As soon as college closed he started out with a prospectus under his arm to place the child's Rlble within the reach of all. He rapidly learned of the ways of book agents and when he met a mother ' unwilling to buy the Bible, he found some excuse to get cne of the children at his elbow and displayed a few of the colored illustrations. Whenever a little goldenhaired boy saw the picture of Lot's wife in three colors with beautiful scroll work around the edges, he set up a cry until his mother agreed to take the book. In that way Quin sold a great many Ribles and made enough money to take him the rest of the way through college. That was in 1891 and the territory was largely in what now comprises Quin's congressional districts When he began his campaign for a place as lawmaker at the nation's capital. Quin started out on horseback to call on the people in their homes. He had not proceeded far until he entered a house where he eaw a child's bible lying close by a conch shell on a marble-topped table. "I used to sell a Bible like that." remarked Quin. That opened up a discussion and it came out that he had sold them that identical Bible, more than twenty years previous. The little boy for whom the Bible had been intended was now there with children of his own. They, too, had been brought up on the illustrated Bible Quin had placed in the family. This naturally placed him in an intimate relation with the household and all the men folk said they would vote for him, besides speaking a good word among their friends. After that whenever he stopped at a house, Quin looked about to see if there was a child's Bible with which ho could stir up interest in himself. In the course of his travels he found several hundred young men who had been raised on Quin's Rible. Kvery one of these young men not only voted for Quin but became s. voluntary cog in his campaign machinery. With this Biblical organization verily Quin walked through the opposition like unto the children of Israel walking through the Red sea.
WK are convinced that capital punishment violates the best impulses of the human heart as well as "a crime against the most high," as quoted by John Henry from John Bright. FOR example, an offending mouse took refuse in an unused stove and the housewife closed the door, intending to keep the crrincj animal there until it perished by starvation. That was revenge. But when her husband arrived she beseeched him to release the prisoner. That was humane. (irandpa'N Knife. My grandpa he carried a jackknife that gee! Looked long as the blade of a sickle, to me.

tajtrs poor opinion op siilp;oyi;rnmi:nt. The total depravity of human aspi'ration .and the hopeless irresponsibility of the aggregate of American citizens shine out in William Howard Taft's discussion of "The Future of the Republican Party", in the current Saturday Evening Post. It is an article in Mr. Taft's best vein; cold and shrewdly intellectual in its mood; lacking warm sympathy and patronizingly judicial; sternly uncompromising and founded on the doctrine of
trusteeship for the tinguished from the participation in their Mr. Taft classifies "those who believe
new theories of government will seriously impair that which we hold essential to the maintenance of liberty regulated by law." It is natural that he should seek to discredit progressive leaders and the progressive doctrine, and it is even excusable that he should consider the Chicago nomination "legally made". The nominee of the republican party in 112 deserves what solace he can gain from these views and from his own speculation on the realignment of parties that gave Mr. Roosevelt more votes than he received. A survey of spilt milk carries a singular comfort to the tpiller despite the fact that he blindlv refuses to detect his own culpability. It is necessary to cite only a few of the typically Taftian iews to have a birdseye glimpse of his present reasoning: "The new forms of government proposed or, rather, the old forms, for they are forms that have proved unsuccessful in history are not any more likely to prevent abuses, because they require three times as much political activity from the people as does the representative system." Now, speaking of the recall of judges and of Judicial decisions, he betrays th spirit of professionalized rulert:hip, the distrust of the people of the republic that lias brought his party from high estate: "It would leave to an irresponsible and necessarily uninformed majority, or in most cases a minority plurality of the electorate, a question that it would be prone to decide in accordance with its own interest and to gratify its own desires." It would be irritating to those who maintain the guardianship theory of government in this republic to see "three times as much political activity from the people". Mr. Taft and his associates have left no doubt of their attitude toward "the Irresponsible and nwssarily uninformed majority". This, to he sure, is the reactionary attitude on all questions of popular participation in government: it is not a statement that ought to b confined to the Judiciary question alone. The Taft administration sufliclently proved its contempt for "the mandate of the people". Mr. Taft concedes the impossibility of a union between progressives and republicans on any save a conservative bais. He draws the differentiation even more acutely when he banishes with a broad swep the whole industrial and social program that give vitality to the progressive faith. With on" stroke of the pen he declares that "oliico is UQi ientil to
our party's existence", and in another, unhappily, he recants all that magnanimous virtue with his suggestion that the new tariff and the new currency measure may bring hard times. - Then, incidentally. he says and this is about Mr. Wilson, whom he surveys with mingded respect and
skepticism that "when a policy has been pledged the party should carry it out." Truly so; but not on a shutter, as in recent memory. TIIF, GLAMOR OP 1)1 STANCH. "Distance lends enchantment." No proverb is truer in real life than this sententious saying, which packs into three words a whole philosophy of business. To some people the fact that an article of goods was made in Fngland. Paris, or elsewhere, is prima facie evidence that it is better. If they stopped to think about it they ought to know that the United States, whatever its political and social fauks, is acknowledged as supreme in material, achievement. Our compatriots build the best bridges, provide the most convenient railroad travel, and the most comfortable homes. The chances are at least more than even that the output of their mills is better adapted to meet home needs than those of some distant foreign producer. Similarly, there are a good many people who feel an instinctive prejudice against articles bought in their home town. Something secured in some distant store looks better to them until they actually test its qualities. Yet if this feeling is analyzed it is seen to be about as well founded as the fancied superiority of foreign goods. The home store does a smaller business than some distant department emporium. It loses a fraction of costs there. But it more than makes up by cheaper rents. Then there i-j the fact that the larger a business center is. the more it costs to run a store there. Almost every item in the expense account is at a higher rate. All this is charged to the customer. For fuch reasons a well-advertised home store is about as efficient a machine fr serving the public as you can get. The buyer for store the size of ours is close enough to the counter so that he makes very few mistakes. Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette.
