In determining what sort of an j administration Is to be expected from 'this candidate who will not tell the pub lic what he means to do. the most impor tant circumstance t«» l>e considered is that, he is Murphy's candidate. He owes his position in public life to Murphy. Murphy nominated him for Lieutenant (Jovernor two years ssja. That was the first the public ever heard Of him. Last spring Murphy made him chairman ■ f the Democratic party in the stale.

It can judge from no pledge of Mr. Dix. but must form its 1 opinion from the Deoaocratic platform's! declaration againsl "sumptuary" legisla tion, from the confidence of tlie iraiiibiers that the Democrats will repeal the' Hughes law*, from tlie support which the gamblers gave to 'hauler two years ago aud are giving to J>ix to-day, from I the fact that the Senate, if Democratic. will lie under 1 he control of the men who voted against the Hughes bills and under 1 be leadership of <;rady. j IVould Ihey know whaiber the c.urup iioii banished by Hughe* from Albany a'ould return niider a PtasWiatJC ad niiiiisiia!i<ur.- They have, it N true.

ROOSEVELT'S MAS. Is it at all surprising that upstate audiences applaud the loudest when Mr. Stimson frankly says he is "Roosevelt's man." in the sense of believing in the standards of public life which the colonel has upheld? The people have food mem <.ries. This year's is not the first "dic tatin^"" the colonel has done, and Mr. Stimson is not the first "Roosevelt's man" who has run for oflice. Four years ago Colonel Ko«>sevelt "dic tated"" to ihe self-same elements which he vanquished al Saratoga this \e?ir. and the nomination of Charles E. Hughes was j the result. Again he "dictated" two years ago and Clovernor Hughes was r*^ nominated. Thea again in lf»OS. when a successor to himself was t<> be lhoaj"n by the nation, those who are criticising the •'dictation'" this \ear said thai fie was "dictating"! the rboW of the Repan \ li.an candidate for President. They said the nopul.H.' would crumble because of the way be was "dirtating" Ibeu. andj proved il with much eloquence and many illuminating parallels from history. "Roosevelt's men --the people nre fa miliar with the Bpedes. T-ue public ha* tried thesj and likes them. They have the same ideals of cleanlinepp and hon esty in public life that he has exenipli fi*»d. and they nre the tools of nobody. mr corrupt joy of aliens. The chars* is made that many unnnt | uralized aliens w%O are employed on the [ Catskill and Croton waterworks nre \*> ing reiri. tered nd coached for voting at I the coming election. Some of these ln> tending electors, it is said, have been iii : America only a few months, or perhaps weeks, and nre therefore so unacquaint ed with American iaws as not to be aware of the legal requirements for citi zenship and suffrage. Such men nre easily persuade*:! that they have a right tn vote, and are ready to swear quite innocently that they are qualified voters, while the circiuiistan« es make it difficult to detect the fraud and disprove their | claims. To what extent these practices are be ing undertaken remains to be proved by authoritative investigation, but any such attempt to iead newly lauded immigrants into unlawful ways is peculiarly vicious and reprehensible. One <»f the gravest civic problems in such communities is \<-u York and its environs is that of In structing uninformed aliens as t.» the powers and penalties of American citi y.euship. They <-<niie from lands whose governmental systems are radically un like our own. and they have liule prac tical knowledge of our system. It is al serious thing to have so large an un- Ajuerlcauized element in the community, and civic safety and the public welfare demand that it shall become American ized as expediliously as possible. That i task is obviously i<» be done by teaching such men the law, and not by misleading them into violations of the law. The man who thus misleads even one new [mmtgrani not only secures an unlawful vote but also establishes an actual centre of political corruption in the colony of aliens. why ARE WHI8KEB8? At lasi we are forced by the editor of ••American Medicine*'' to face the funda ! mental question. "Why has nature pro ; rided man with whiskers?" Hitherto they have been taken for granted, and much attention has been given to making the liost of them by turning them Into adornments of many changing shapes. This is the day of retrospective exhibl-| lions of fash ions. Why not have onejof whi-kers. from the ringleted hirsute ap pendages of Babylonian kings to the 1 v i*i crrcicht niustachios of the Ger man Emperor?

The proposed exhibition should atoo Include th« clean-shaven interregnums, the swinging of the pendulum between the cultivation of the beard and its proacriptioikby fashion, with th<> periods of transition of chin whiskers and I shaven upper lip and cheeks, <>r the su premacy of the mastache alone, Of late we have been told by authorities that whiskers harbor bacteria, but man <•;<■. - 1 • •• 1 to go clean shaven repeatedly long before science discovered their ex- Istence and potency; moreover, there arc physicians who advocate whiskers as a protection for weak throats. As the editor of "American Medicine" sug gests, we>do not yet know whether whiskers have become a useless survival or not. That Is, indeed, the mighty problem which be wishes to have solved. Why were beards evolved, if not for some beneficial purpose? His own sugges tion is that the beard rendered primi tive man some Important service in bat tle and the chase. Perhaps our earliest ancestors, having encouraged its growth as a protection sgalust the teeth of wild animals and fell.w troglodytes, began to take pride in it In the satin- splrll of warlike bravado thai I<><| the Indian warrior to sport • long and inviting walp lock.

The harvesting of the largest corn crop in the history of the country is respon sible for strengthened confidence in busi ness circles, in the theory that marked expansion will soon develop in our in dustries. A reflection of greater activity in mercantile circles is found in in creased offerings of commercial paper of the hiphest grade, in improving bank clearings, as compared with the totals of recent weeks, and in a reduction in the number of idle freipht cars. Retail trade in heavy drjßOods has been retarded by weather conditions, while in the whole sale market for cottons high prices con tinue to restrict dealings, but the actual volume of general business as reported to the commercial agencies is large enough to'encourage. the expectation of gradual growth in all lines. Sentiment has been helped by the advance in quota ti< ns for stocks and by the change for the better in our foreign commerce, the latter showing for September heavier exports of merchandise than ever re corded in a corresponding month, and an excess of exports over imports to the value of $.")!. .">57.079. As our credits abroad are badly de pleted, owing to the long period of rising imports and the accumulation of large financial obligations abroad. it will re quire many months of expanding ship ments of merchandise to bring about foreign exchange conditions favorable to this country, but a start in the right direction has l>een made, for which our banking community Is extremely thank ful. We are not In a position to import gold, while the course of sterling quota tions suggests th«> possibility r.f with drawals of the metal from New York for Tendon account before th« enrl of the year, although It Is not likely thqt SUb stantial shipments under sny circum stance will be made, as the Bank of England jp taking effective c teps to check the drain upon its own resources, which in the lapt three weeks has been abnormally heavy, chiefly from Kgypt, India and South Africa. The British in stitution has advanced Its minimum rate of discount to 5 per cent without the ac companiment of a material change in quotations for money at thi? centre, call funds here ruling easier than the dis count rate In London, with long term loans obtainable cheaper than bills could be discounted at the English capital. The local etocjc market is advancing, but so far the movement has not caused any pressure on the local banks. The mone tary outlook, however, does not warrant the hope of a sustained aggressive bull speculation in the closing months of 1910. Speculation in cotton futures is active, with prices somewhat lower than were recently reported, the decline being due in large part to selling by Southern in terests who assert that the size of this year's crop has been underestimated. Weather conditions have ueen favorable to the growth of the staple, and more than 12,000,000- bale harvest is now predicted, which compares with early season estimates of from 11,000,000 to 11,500,000 bales. In the market for cot ton goods prices are firm, r, and a iurther readjustment to higher levels Is ! looked for by the trade, as it is not likely that even with a bigger crop than 5s ex pected the raw material will decline to figures that would permit the mills to do business at a profit on the present basis of quotations. The manufacturers have I little cotton on hand; neither have they large stocks of goods. Existing and prospective supplies of wheat are heavy enough to suggest the probability of lower prices, which already are well be low the figures of this time last year, while tho same thing may be said of i corn. Most coiumodity prices nre tend j ing- toward cheaper levels. Hog proa | ucts are selling at better prices for the • consumer, cottonseed oil is 3 cents under the September high point, quotations on refined sugar have been reduced and rJour is easier in sympathy with the de cline in wheat. Exports of corn art in creasing, but the foreign demand for our wheat is llgiit, shipments from here last week showing a falling off from the same time in 1909 of 2,849.791 bushels, making a decline in the last four months of !."», 11 4, uOO bushels, A bet ter business is reported In finished steel products, and encouraging Im provement Is uotr>d In the inquiry for ste»-l rails and track supplies.

The most ini|»ortant develop ment leading t<» the expectation that the iron and steel Industry b;is passed the 1 minimum point of depression is the change In the attitude of the rail road a toward the markft,^ which for many months has suffered from tho absence, of orders from the transportation com panies. Th" railroads will become ac tiv« buyers to satisfy actual necessities. ro matter what th. outcome of the rail road rate controversy may be.

The decline of British coasoai U» loal tlian so. tin- ]o\v*st [i^ure known since I*l7 induces curious apeculation as to its cansts. it surely cannot l>e fear Of repudiation or failure to P*».v interest, for nobody out of bedlam imagines that tho United Kingdom will income bankrupt or ;i defaulter. It can scarcely be, either, dissatisfaction with the low rat' of interest paid, for while that rate is only 236 P er cent it was only 3f| a tow years ago, when the price was 114. That fractional decline in Interest cannot ac count for that great decline in price The cause is presumably somewhat com plex and obscure, "one of those things which Do fellow can find out." But while it is unpleasant from a sentimental point of view, there is no reason to re gard it as ominous to the British Em pire. The youth who proposed marriage to twenty-three girls and got in return twenty-three refusals will probably be henceforth a confirmed believer in the "down and out' significance of that fatal number. Mr. Roosevelt's "My Harry" is learn ing that the honor of being the shadow of a great man is not all that it is cracked up to be.— Hartford Times. Mr. Murphy's Mr. Dix is finding that being the shadow of a bad man is a far bifterer experience.
