Mr. Hughes long ago exposed this critic of cor- j jKJrations as dodging his moral responsibilities "by means of bis New Jersey holding company. ' It has been shown that he habitually evaded : eervice of legal papers, so that one of his pres ent candidates for the Supreme Court Mr. : Exlanger, when Sheriff certified to his evasions : asul led the wuy a court order for service tj publication, pretends here to be the friend of unloif labor and the eight hour day, while In Bcrofh Dakota his mines enforce the -"open shop* and a ten hour day. He tries to frighten workmen here, where there is no dan ger of Oriental competition, with the bugaboo at Chinese labor, while his family estates In < California _ exclude white girls from the or- ! chards In favor of cheap Oriental workmen. (Tetterday he" had" the impudence to declare In j his "Evening Journal" that an excessive bur den of government fell on the poor "because ', jtha corporations dodge their taxes," while he • I i* the proprietor of a corporation which dodges \ taxes on bis rich newspaper properties. He has ', pretended to be against certain Tammany can didates, especially Grady and Itlordan. It was a part of his "bluff as the enemy of the Gas i Trust, but his Incorporated political machine ! took good care to see that the independent peti tions were Invalid, so that Grady and Rlordan find nothing serious In his opposition. Now another revelation— or rather confirma tion—of Mr. Hearst's Insincerity comes In the report of Coroner Harburger to the Tammany leaders^Harburger was Hearst's ambassador to ty Murphy that his public expressions of hostility to the Tammany boss were merely for effect on the voters, should be taken in a - Pickwickian sense and should not disturb Mr. Murphy*6 nerves or cloud the friendship so firmly founded on mutual Interest This mis •Joe was a secret one, bat when knowledge of ft leaked out Mr. narburger, Instead of deny ing, practically admitted that he carried assur 1 ance* to Murphy of HearsTs good wilL Even ! # .without Information of these assurances, the ; / proof of the Insincerity of Hearst's protests i that he la not for Murphy would be complete. He <soes, tadead, make such protests, but they toe weak and hollow and evidently forced. A rear ago he called Murphy a thief and "th© <si±e? criminal of them all." Now his disavowal I* merely perfunctory, though he is not a whit Jacking in vituperation of others. He can de nounce McCarrea as bitterly aa he ever de aoaa.jKi i£uri>ltf._lr.he.-fiiaeat vfimt v* «ays : of Murphy, he would say It as he once did aad drag out again the suit of striped clothes. Ms if the record did not already prove that jme whole Hearst personality, performance, platform and principles were dishonest^'The World" carried coals to Newcastle yest|B<iay by showing how Hearst used liis res»nce Just as he did his New Jersey corpoj^Ton to hide from those having claims upon^Tlm. On Feb ruary 11 1887, when he was heW sued In the New York Supreme Court by The Associated Presß Mr. Hearst swore that he "was at the "time of the commencement of thii suit, and "still Is, a citizen of the State of/Callfornia "and of no other state, residing infthe city of "San Francisco, and Is not a resilent of the "State of New York." Therefore h$ asked for the dismissal of the suit In the state court. A few months later M. R. T. Werner, a citizen of New York, having occasion to sue him, took warning from tills testimony and brou/lit ac tion in the United States Court. M^T Hearst thereupon, on April 11, 1808. swopg that "he "was at the time of the commeng^ment of this "action a citizen of the State oi^'ew York and "a resident within the Soumern District of "New York." Therefore jftat suit was dis missed. When sued as a resident in the state court he was/a non-resident, but when sued as a non -resident in the federal court he was a resident.X^nd he presumes to talk about predatory jfrealth and tricks of the law! More over, in Jtss than a year, on April 6. 1809, he testified before Judge Lacombe that for "three years and a hair' he had been a resident of New York, and not of California. Yet within two years and two months before he had made affidavit In The Associated Tress case that he was not a resident of New York, but of Cali fornia. We wish to be entirely just to Mr. Hearst We realize that men In measuring a period of time may speak loosely, so we shall not charge him with perjury- But we have not the least doubt that he would so charge any opponent of hi* who at one moment swore that he had been a resident since a certain date sixteen months anterior to a time when he had sworn he was not a resident. Sixteen months is a large margin for unintentional error in sworn testimony about events only three or four years back. But we put aside the question of per jury. The point is that Mr. Uearst was prac tically .i fugitive from justice, shifting his resi dence to avoid legal responsibility and swear ing to hiw jilace of domicile from time to time as suited Lhfi changing exigencies of his liti gations. His affidavits are simply of a piece with his consistent record of shams. CHICKENS TO ROOST. Mr. Hearst has several times complained that he cannot get a fair bearing In the opposition press. H<-> asserts that the New York news p.'il'prs h.Tvp banded together in a conspiracy to misrepresent bis purposes, blacken his charac ter ami belittle his achievements as a states man and a campaign orator. He lias capi talized this grievance by starting an "Ananias Cup" contest, in which the alleged misrepre sentations by his enemies an- catalogued with duo insistence on their enormity. He would have us believe that his confidence in human nature is shaken and his sense of Justice is outraged by intimations that he has fallen at any time or in any respect below the highest standards of public virtue or patriotic con duct. It is painful to see desert flouted and good ness maligned. Yet the innocent abused must be really Innocent if be expects to get com miseration, and the man who asks for sym pathy must come Into court with clean hands. Virtue, like charity, should begin at home. Mr. Hearst in his speeches and in his newspaper utterances has not habitually exhibited the BubHmest spirit of charity and brotherly kind ness. He has not scrupulously avoided l>ack bitlng and vilification. He lias not always in dulged in the soothing compliments which turn away wrath. We are indebted to "The Even ing Telegram" for a collection of tributes paid by Mr. Hearst to contemporaries of greater or less distinction in public life. Here are some of his illuminating and kindly judgments: PRKSIDENT M'KlNLEY— "lncompetent pol troon — the most despised and hated creature on the hemisphere." PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT— "A player to the colored gallery." EX-PRESIDENT CLEVELAND— "Convenience of predatory wealth." SECRETARY ROOT— "A spotty corporation attorney — Ryan's jackal." SECRETARY BONAPARTE— "A <-ab horse." ATTORNEY GENERAL KNOX— "Sleepy Phil— Coal Trust quilt for a pillow." EX-JUDGE ALTON B. PARKER— "A rock roach, a waterbusr." SENATOR JOSEPH W. BAILEY— "Most faithful dog-catcher in the Senate." JOSEPH H. OHOATE— "Political ap;f-nt for cor porations." SPEAKER JOSEPH G. CANNON— "As cun ninp as a fox and as little scrupulous in politics as a fox is In a barnyard." EX-MAYOR OSnORNE— "A sordid Idiot." There is no need to continue these excerpts. Hero are eleven men conspicuous in public life four of them Democrats and seven of them Kepubllcans— of whom Mr. Hearst has spoken not once, but repeatedly, in terms of bitter con tempt. But the list could be extended far enough to cover a majority of all the active leaders of both parties now in politics. Mr. Hearst's hand has been raised to blacken the fairest reputations and to besmirch the most honored names. He has waged a veritable cam paign of defamation against all who have crossed his purposes or blocked his path. He has never given quarter, yet he now asks for it He pleads for Justice when— were his com plaints of being himself defamed well founded —he would only be reaping his own harvest of injustice. He would make a better impres bion by imitating the stoicism of the Indian and taking his torture without a word. CLOSE TO THE LIMIT. In "The Evening Journal" of Thursday Mr. Hearst remarked as follows: You know why the big tax dodgers and the big corporations In New York City that actually steal tens of millions in taxes want Hughes and hate Hearst? It is because they know that Hearst Is pledged to Just taxation. They know that he believes not only In the franchise tax, but In the income tax. They know it was HE that nominated John Ford for the Supremo Court bench, and that John Ford is the author of the Franchise Tax law. It may have been merely a coincidence that the foregoing was placed next to "The Hall room Boys," those pictorial paragons of hum | bug and bluff, but certainly the Juxtaposition was eminently appropriate. If you want Just taxation, vote for Hearst That is to say, if j you want to learn how to form New Jersey ; holding companies (the most refined devel j opment of the "criminal trust"), study Mr. i Hearst's Star company, which reports! more j liabilities than assets and thereby wholly es i capes assessment in this state or In the state jof Its birth— the home of the "criminal trust" ! Mr. Hearst certainly glvbs an Inspiring object lesson In "equitable taxation." If he should be able to extend his personal system through- I out tho state, the state and Its cities would : have to go begging with their hats in their hand*. In the foregoing excerpt the use of the per .sonal pronoun, which we have emphasized with capitals, as "The Evening Journal" did. is highly Instructive. Here Is Mr. Hearsf s first : confession that he is a real boas. We have fre ; quently been adjured to vote against this can didate or that because he was nominated by i Bobs Murphy, now Hearst's ally, or Boss Some ■ body-else. But now Mr. Hearst asks us to i vote for Mr. Ford, whom HE nominated. One man nomination* are all right when the nomi | »•&« l»-Hearst-e^edally.. Hearst Incorporated NEW- YORK DAILY TRIBUNE. SATURDAY. OCTOBER 27 I JgO6. as the Independence League. Did audacity erer rise to a dizzier height? TRUE COLLEGE ATHLETICS. An additional etej> toward the reformation of college sports has been taken by the Council of Now York University, following the exam ple of Harvard and some other institutions, In its resolution restricting participation In Inter collegiate atliletic games and contests to bonß fide undergraduate students In the University College and in the School of Applied Science, and barring out from Buch participation all spe cial students and members of the various x>ro fesslonal and graduate schools. We are not aware that New York University has been a particularly great Binnex in this matter, or that the adoption of this rule -will compel any marked reorganization of Its athletic activities. But the rule Is a desirable one for the cor rection of whatever deviation there may have been from the true principle of college ath letics and for prevention of further transgres sions. We believe we do no injustice in saying that a considerable part of the brutality which has disfigured football, and of the "professional ism" and other improper practices which have brought reproach upon college sports, is due to the playing of students from professional or graduate schools in intercollegiate games. It is credibly reported that some institutions have taken Into some of their departments — for which college entrance examinations are not required — brawny young men who were In no true sense "college men," and who had no thought of completing the courses of study, for the Bole purpose of putting them into teams for intercollegiate sports. That was the grossest form of the abuse, but it is not the right thing to put into such teams bona fide students In non-collegiate departments, and It would be a good thing 1 to rule out law, medical, dental, veterinary and other professional Students from all Intercollegiate competitions. This is not, of course, to deuy such students the privileges and advantages of physical cult ure. They may still make full use of the gym nasium and athletic Hold, and they may com pete in all the contests within their own insti tution. The effect of the rule will simply be to insure that intercollegiate contests shall be participated in by none save true college stu dents, to wit, undergraduates who are pursu ing regular courses for baccalaureate degrees. With that rule Jirinly and faithfully enforced, college sports should be largely freed from the worst reproach which has fallen upon them in recent years. CAPITAL AND TRACTION. The offer of the Chicago street railway com panies to serve the people during "good be havior" is the result of a changed attitude of capital toward street railway investments. Not only In Chicago, but In other Western cities. In vestors look fqr proiits on roads run on terms more advantageous to the people than for merly. The Chicago companies do not ask for a franchise, but for a mere permission, to op erate, revocable If the service is unsatisfactory. They will provide new cars and not overcrowd liif in— a recent court decision continued the city's right to exact that consideration of the public comfort — and they will run the cars singly and not as trailers. They will do a lot of other Things to make the cars and the street through which they run decent. They will submit to penalties for failure to keep their service up to their promises, nnd they will pay a percent ape of their earnings to tho city, or, if the authorities prefer, they will reduce fares. Whenever Chicago's pocket bulges sufficiently she can buy out the companies. It strikes us a reasonable proposition, but we do not know how it will strike Chicago. Perhaps she will prefer the Dunne system of pedestrianism for principles Bake. It may be objected that capital is only doing this iv Chicago because It has to. Well, we are not accusing capital of any eleemosynary purpose or of a desire to reduce Its returns. Conditions in Chicago are hard, but Investors are evidently ready to accept them as they are, for it will take a great deal of money to effect tiie improvements which the companies offer. Moreover, in Cleveland, where the street rail way monopoly Is not in such hard straits, tho company, in order to get additional franchises and keep the growth of its system abreast of the growth of the town, offers seven tickets for a quarter and universal transfers on a short term franchise. It will reduce fares through out its present great system for the permission to build additions. If it felt there was no profit in lower fares it % might "s,tand pat" with its existing franchises. In Detroit, too, the street railway company, to obtain a renewal of Its franchises, most or all of which have expired. Is offering six tickets for a quarter part of the day and ten for a quarter the rest of th<j day. Neither it nor tho Cleveland company wishes to make v contract with the city like that which the Chicago concern offers, to exist only dur ing "good behavior." Roth want limited fran chises. Besides these concerns offering cheap fares, there Is Mayor Johnson's company of true be lievers, already discussed in The Tribune, every man of them a sworn municipal owner ship man who has taken the vows of financial abstinence. It offers .'{-cent railroads to Cleve land during good behavior, and to be bought out by the city whenever dreams come true. "Three-Cent Tom" is not content with Cleve land as the scene of his activities, but Is carry ing the gospel of near-municipal ownership and straight 3-cent fares to Detroit, and has offered to run that city's roads on terms like those of fered In Cleveland. Once he did run Detroit roads, but that was when he believed in o-cent fares, and as many of them as possi ble in every car. Then he was making his own fortune ; now he is making the people's fortune. We do not know whether to treat Mr. John son's offers as seriously indicative of capital's attitude. The true believers' requirement and the vows of financial abstinence make it a mixt ure of business and an economic propaganda. "If we can't have public ownership," Mr. John son says, "let us have ownership by neople who believe in public ownership." If the people cannot own their own cars, let "Three-Cent Tom" own them, for he Is the next thins to the people. If he should carry to other cities as well as to Detroit tho Inestimable blessings of 8-cent fares and public spirited ownership, the true believers' company might become a true believers' trust New York's new sub ways, soon to be advertised, might tempt him. Pelham Bay Park to Coney Island, or three l>oroughs for three Cfiits, would make a mighty slogan. But, leaving out of consideration Mr. John son and his 3-cent gospel and his true l>eliev ers, the disposition of capital to seek invest ment In Western street railways on terms ad vantageous to the public Is a hopeful sign. Con ditions In New York are different from condi tions in Chicago, Cleveland and Detroit, but there should be competitive bidding for the sub ways about to *c offered, and capital should be ready to make terms here as elsewhere much more favorable to the city than was thought possible a decade ago. The red nre of the Hearst campaign is begin ning to burn low, as was shown by the frosty demeanor of his audience at Madison Square Garden lost Thursday night. The report from Mr. Stevens and Colonel Qor gas that the Spanish workmen at Panama are doing particularly well provokes renewal of the wish that In some way it might be possible to man the whole canal enterprise with Spaniards. They -would not only be at home la that cliinai* and do tbe work well, but they -would also fraternize congenially with the people of the Isthmus, and would give to Panama the in crease of population which U a/reatly needs. Seeing that tens of thousands of Spaniards mi grate to Cuba every year, it does seem as though an army of them might be led to the spot wher« Spanish feet first trod the soil of tha Anieri' U continent. _ Mr. Moran says he has eliminated Bryan and Hearst In the Massachusetts campaign. Now, If the voters will only eliminate the Hon. John B. Moran, all may yet be well In the Bay State. It la undoubtedly the privilege of the Supreme Court of the Lone Star State to adopt "solar time" aa the standard for the opening of Its sessions. Nevertheless, the decision, If con strued literally and followed strictly, will lead to greater Inconvenience than the acceptance of railroad time. Railroad time is Invariable, at any rate, whereas the sun Is curiously mislead ing. It agrees with well regulated chronometers only on four days In the year. Sometimes It la as much as fifteen minutes fast, and sometimes It Is fifteen minutes slow. Such microscopic cor recMons as Rre required by the astronomical clocks at Washington and Greenwich, which dictate time to the world, are based on observa tlona of the stars. Perhaps the Texas Supreme Court meant "stellar time," but It didn't say so. A Democratic candidate for Congress in Bal timore Is making the repeal of the Reed rules In the House one of the chief issuea of his can vass. This shows that the Democratic party Is not altogether dead. Some sections of it will live on another twenty years before they dis cover that the funeral Is over. Legal means, it is said, will bo employed to prevent such a combination among distillers as would force the price of denatured alcohol to an outrageously high level next year. Whether or not the defence prove successful. It will prob ably be conducted with spirit. THE TALK OF THE DAY. The efforts of the German Emperor to banish the "Fremd-wort," while they may have made changes In the official vocabulary, have not cured some of the German newspapers from using many English words for which they probably have none equally expressive in the German language. One Berlin paper of recent date, under the head of "Sports," contains the words "handicap," "ticket," "start," "ftnlsh" and "in front. " Under the head of "Strikes" It speaks of "scabs" and "meetings," and in another part of the paper speaks of a poli tician as having "geflirtcd" with a "party." "New York is to have a new automobile speed way." "Just for automobiles?" "Yes." "And nothing to get In the way?" "Nothing." "Say wouldn't that be the limit of deadly dul ness?"—Cleveland Plain Dealer. The following story about Count Witte was told by the Paris correspondent of "The London Globe". M. Wltte. the Russian plenipotentiary, is once more In Paris. Apropos of the short sojourn he is making at the present moment in the capital, one of the papers recalls the tirsi visit he paid to this city. It was In 1579, when he was thirty years of age, and lie had just finished his studies at the uni versity. The day of his arrival he was sauntering along the quays of the Seine, and coming to the Palais Bourbon he said to himself: "I might as well see what is going on in tho Chamber of Depu ties." Bat he had no entrance card. That did not moke much difference to him, however. He walked in, and when an usher stopped him and asked him, for his card, he replied, "I have none." "Then, monsieur, you cannot go in." "But 1 desire very much to go in." "Do you know any" of the deputies?" "No. "Do you know the President?" "Yes," replied young Witte. although he had never seen him in his life, but imagined that the statement might procure him admittance to the Chamber. "Then," said the usher, "give me your card and I'll nd it in to the President of the Chamber." When Gambetta received the card he read "Serge Wine. St. Petersburg," but that conveyed nothing to him. Thinking, however, that he might have met nim at some time and since forgotten his name, Gambetta gave orders for the young Rus sian to be admitted to the gallery of the foreign [tress. Al the close of the Bitting he sent lor M. Witte, and in the Minister's private apartments the great French statesman and the future pleni potentiary talked of Russia and Its politics for two hours. When Witte was here it was said that he could not speak French. Did Gambetta -.peak Russian? Bacon— ln Austrian cities there is a special exam ination for female barbers, who are yearly growing more numerous. Egbert— suppose they have to pass any ex amination as to their elocutionary powers?-—Ton kers Statesman. The "Hamburger Nachrichten" contributes the following to the stories relative to the relations be tween Emperor Wllhelm I and Bismarck. "If the Kaiser wished to ride alone," said Bismarck, "I could have found no objection. That he drove me away, though, wounded me. If he wanted to get rid of me he should have told me so frankly, and I would have taken six months' vacation. If things got along without me I would have re mained away. Otherwise I should have returned. But this! I was nearly thrown out of my house in the Wllhelmstrasae. I had to pack my belongings In haste, for Caprivl was waiting at the door." THE" CLUBWOMAN. She does not care for Higher Life, Nor for The Way to End All Strife; She does not think of Civic Pride, Nor should our Daughters Ride Astride She does not think of Creed and Class Nor of The Uplift and The Mass- She minds not anything like that. She's shopping for her winter hat. —Chicago Evening Post. CAMPAIGN COMMENT. AN EASY CHOICE FOR DEMOCRATS. From The Rochester Union and Advertiser. If Democrats must choose between an honest and eble Republican like Charles E. Hughes and a nondescript upstart like Hearst it ought not to take them long to make choice of the former. By ™V, nX f 2 r Hugl i "}«>' may pave the Democratic party A vote tor Hearst will be a vote against the highest interests of that party. It has been defeated many times and defeat lias not destroyed it. but the election of Hearst would make it a Hearst party, and that would be ruinous The Democrat who cares at all for the welfare of his party cannot vote for this preposterous candidate! HOW TO SAVE THE DEMOCRACY. From The Auburn Advertiser. Think it over. Democrats. Mr. Hearst's defeat means in our nonest judgment the salvation of the Demociatic puny, and While that Is not a concern or the Republican party, the election of such m unsafe man a voi Hearst to be Governor is^of in terest to the voters of any party.

Mr. Hearst told his audiences In this city on Wednesday night that he did not believe In per sonalities, and he went on: "If Mr. Hughes will stop telling lies about ma I will stop telling the truth about him." Mr. Hughes would not mukit the tine promise. It is the truth about Hearst which makes votes for Hughes, ana the proof is that Hearst will not publish the truth when spoken by his opponent.

Albany. Oct. —Dr. Draper. Commission*? of the State Department of Education, was one of th» principal speakers at to-day's session of th« forty fourth annual convocation of the University of the State of New York, which opened In the S«nata chamber last night. He spoke on "ExamlaKlaM an.l Academic Funds." He detailed tip m*cae. in which the fund for secondary school* had been apportioned since its establishment. told Of the method of distribution that will obtain In th» fut ure and. among other things, said: No other state gives anything like the amount o{ money that New York State gives to the upbufld tn« of secondary schools. The cost of maintenance of the e'.Brr.t hundred schools of secondary grade 13 about $7,546,35S annually. But that is local ex pense, and not what 13 now In mind. Reference '-3 now made to the funds raised and distributed by the star* e-overnment to encourage the scholarship In and the expansion of the high schools and acad emies. The state began the policy even before sh-» began to appropriate state school moneys " the elementary schools. She has maintained the policy with uniform sagacity and steadily enlarging gen erosity. The state support of the academic schools is more liberal than the state support of the ele mentary schools. The schools of approved aca demic standing receive academic funds In liberal addition to the distributive share which they get as common schools from the state school funds. This is rleht. because they are much more ex pensive and because the elementary school systesj and all of the educational interests of tho state are very dependent upon them. The special fund ffreo by the state government for promoting the excel lence of these advanced schools, which have come to be the vital connecting link between th>.«i»> mentarv nchoola and the colleges and universities, and which have come to be the scarcely less vital link between the elementary schools and success in our complex intellectual and Industrial activities, is more than $sC^.<>») annually. It ought to 0« made thoroughly effective. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of ColumWa University; the Right Rev. M. J. Lavelle. of New York, and George K. Hawkins, principal of Platts burg Normal School, were the other speakers a: to-day's session. To-night the members of th* convocation attended the dinner of the Hudson River Schoolmasters' Club at the Hotel Ten Eyci The convocation will adjourn to-morrow.
