THE COST OF MURPHY.
Mr. Beny^l. the Democratic candidate
for Suite Engineer :ind Surveyor, ha*
found tlie burden of Murphyisni too
nsaeh t'.» <-«rry. and accordingly he has
issued a statement denying that he is a
Murphy tcaa and that lie will favor
Taiumany contractors in the administra
tion gf the states great public works.

Ktate. thinking <>f the <-ost of Murphy.
ha«] its ey*' v the State Engineer's Of

rejm.liation. The Democratic candidate
«-ould see plainly enough that the stats
would never «'!e<t a Murphy figurehead

I. vi If Dense! can repudiate Murphy
why .anno! Dix? In Dix a Democrat )f

but. I am not for Murphy. ' .If Dix lias
not the backbone to go as far as Beaasi
goes iv repudiating the Tammany hsas,
vill he not go at least as far as Hearst

The past of Murphy will sat he con

government, if tho^Deniocratlc ticket is

should Lave the <*mr.iz? iv office to live

Just what ■ Tammany administration

phy will be the damage to the cause
of good jjimiiißiriil that will come from
Ihe acknowledgment that the prevalence
of ii boss. like Murphy in a noittical party
is a fact to be blinked by decent citi
zens, and from the abandonment of the
standard of public raid political morals
which Governor Hughes set up in this,
state. j

bai who always cast their votes in Onn>
for the liigncst possible duties on
things in which they have a fireside in
terest.
As "Old llaiiuata TTaltun" he would
have ranked with "Old Molasses," "Old
Pineapples." "Old Sassafras," "Old Que
bracho." "Old Rawhides" aud "Old
Loblolly Tine" in the gallant company
of Democrats who stood for downward
revision and a lowering of the cost of
living in the abstract, but who didn't
want the cost of living lowered at their
own expense or that of their communi
ties. When Senator John \V. Daniel, of
Virginia, was appealing for a higher
tariff rate on quebracho, which is made
to some extent In the Old Dominion, he
was reminded that he was asking for a
protective and not a revenue duly. ' I
don't care what you call It," he re
sponded. Tin for it." ben Senators
Fletcher and Taliaferro, of Florida.
pleaded for an advance In the duty on
pineapples to a figure far above that
of the Mngley law. some Republican Sen
ators inquired whether the increase was
being advocated on the ground that it
would give more protection or furnish
n -, re revenue, .-inn the two Senators re
plied that They would be glad to see
votes cast for their amendment from
either or both motives. Senator Tillman
urged a duty <m tea because 'here was
a plantation in South Carolina which
iranted to put an American tea upon the
home market. Senator Smith, of Mary
land, fought desperately against a
higher duty on pineapples, because the
Maryland canneries didn't want the
price of pineapples raised, but strug
gled with equal desperation against the
lowering of the duties on lumber be
cause V didn't think that the Southern
lumber companies ought to be compelled
j.i contribute to the cause of cheaper
living by scaling down lumber price?.
Tn that patriotic band Mr. Dix would
have felt st home. Flourishing in one
hand the letter which his partner, Mr.
Huppuclt wrote to the Ways and Means
Committee of the House of Representa
tives requesting an increase In the duties
on wallpaper, he could have said: "Call
"it jher protection^ If you will; I'm for
"it." while when ill'- Iron and steel, pot
tery or glassware and other schedules
were under consideration, he could have
repeated the touching complaint of his
acceptance speech against the excessive
rsnd iniquitous rates of the Payne tariff
lav an products not manufactured in
j the vir-inity of Thomson. As "Old Liv
! -Walton" be could have gone down
to fame with the other Democratic
statesmen who by their votes at the
extra session of V.* l4 .' vindicated General
Hancock's historic remark that among
Democrats the tariff is and always will
he ".•« local issue." It is V. pity tint he
didn't have a chance to shine in a situa
tion which would have fitted him like
the paper on the walL
PREI'OSTFROVS.
The preposterous character of the Dix
campaign is fairly evident now. but when
the election is over and everybody has
calmed down it will be rightly regarded
as perhaps the most freakish and fan
tastic effort ever made by the Democratic
party to float Itself Into power. Mr.
Dix says that the destiny of the Repub
lic is staked on his candidacy and that
if lie is not elected Governor of New York
our democratic form of government can
not survive. No Democratic aspirant for
offire has ever so magnified his own im
portance or climbed to such a height i f
ridiculous iself-esteeni as to announce
thai unless the people turn to him as a
deliverer "all the sacrifices made by the
"founders of tke Republic and all the
"blood Shed lor its preservation will have
"been hi rain, and we shall see in the
••lime of profound peace a dangerous
"disturber bringing show" the destruc
tion of a free people against whom all
"the forces of the world in arms migut
"have been burled hi vain."
Mr. Bryan's "elect me or you will ie
"liver the country into the hands of the
"money changers of Wall and Lombard
"streets" pales before Mr. Dixs "elect
"me or auerty will bleed its life away
"In the gutter." There are some persons
■he cannot see the colossal impudence
and absurdity of such an appeal to a
puaple more attached to freedom and
wore capable of employing freedom
rationally than they have ever been be
fore in their history. After (Section Day
the indisjujusableness of Mr. Dix to our
continuance as a republic will be seen of
all men in ■ truer and more humorous
light.

Mayor has had more than one cheering
word for the Baas of Tammany Hall
and has advised all go.«l citizens to

discover boa genial and how full of dis.
laterested public spirit he Is. It also un
doubtedly suits the man who, according
to the testimony af "The Times" and
The Evening Past," held the Rochester
convention -iv the noilowr of his hand"
NEW-YORK DAILY TmmXR SATURDAY, OCTOBEB 20, 1010.
to have the voters believe that he was
merely executing Mayor Gaynor's wishes
when he preferred Dix to Shepard. Ha
vens and Osborue. Yet it must have
l>een only a happy coincidence that the
Mayor drew out of the hat the very
same name which Mr. Murphy had al
ready written at the top of the Demo
cratic slate. We shudder to think of the
consequences if Mr. Creehnan had had
his wires tangled and presented an
other son of destiny thau Mr. Dix as j
Mr. Gaynor's first choice When a boss j
holds ■ convention "iv the hollow of his j
hand." the advice which convinces him
is that which coincides with his own
judgment.
Fair-minded Democratic observers
from outside the state do not hesitate 10
say thai Mr. Murphy is playing a part
in this campaign such as no Tammany
hogs has ever played before. A staff
correspondent of "The Baltimore Sun"
wrote to that newspaper the other day :
There is a state chairman, a county
chairman and various other officials at
the respective Democratic headquarters,
but Murphy is the man who is really
running the campaign. The lines are in.
his hand an.l he is guiding the Demo
. ratio state chariot, and he is the first of
the Tammany bosses who has so done.
The correspondent adds that Tam
many is reaching out for control of the
stale because its hold on New York
City has been shaken and there are not
enough good things left here to go
I around. "The Baltimore Sun's" in
vestigator had not beard of the Creel
' man legend or had disregarded it. He
j reported to his Maryland readers the
rock bottom facts, which no legends can
obscure, that the Democratic campaign
here is Mr. Murphy's campaign, and that
Tammany loOks on Mr. Dix'* election ns
a first step toward its possession of the
! state.
OPPOXEXTS OF THE "PUBLIC
ENEMY"
Mr. Olney, who fights the child labor
law in this state, thinks that Colonel
Roosevelt is a public enemy and a
menace to the tranquillity of business.
The counsel of Ryan and his various
agents, once more dominating the Demo
cratic party, agree that he is a public
enemy. The crooked business men and
corporations who were convicted of vio
lating the law by Mr. Srimson. Presi
dent Roosevelt's appointee as federal
prosecutor, and their counsel are bent
upon saving the state from further ac
tivities of the same sort on the part of
this public enemy. Newspapers which
prate about their quickened faith in
Democracy yet have so little belief in
the capacity of the people for self-gov
ernment that they fear the nation will
be "Mexicanlzed" in two years are wav
ing their petticoats in the air as a dan
ger signal against this public enemy.
The racetrack gamblers, no longer
having Governor Hughes to hate and
fear, have transferred their fear and
hatred to his successor in the leadership
of reform and progress in this stale. To
them also he is a public enemy. Every
one who is interested in trying to pre
vent the "removal of the hand of privi
lege from the public pocket** is bent
upon protecting us all from the public
enemy. And. finally, Charles F. Mur
phy, ' who occupies ■ corner of the
Augean stable of politics that has not
vet been cleaned. Just as the rest of
those who have been mentioned occupy
corners of the Augean stable of business
and finance that have not yet been fully
purified— Boss Murphy of Tammany
Hall, to whose kind of politic;? the suc
cess of the colonel would be as inimical
as it would be to crooked business— lets
lose the bottled up voice of- Dix for a
moment to denounce the public enemy.

If the managers of the International
Aviation Tournameni now open at Rei

:»nd to discredit among all thoughtful
persons the entertainment which they

for human life which they are said to

RULES for ELECTION sight.
With the Mayor's opposition to the
graining of special all-night licenses for
the Rale of liquors on election night
many thoughtful people who are by no
means of the killjoy type will hoartily
sympathize. There seems to be no more
reason for such grants on that night
than on any other holiday night. On
ttjs Contrary, there is somewhat ,less.
For Election Day i* a holiday hot for
revelry or merrymaking, but for the
most %erious and momentous of civic
functions, arid Is a time when order, so
hripfy and tlmuchtfulness Should pre
vail not only during the hours of : " tli:|l
poiiinp. but also while tlio votes are
being wmted and the restill is being
made known. It Is not creditable to
conclude tlie supreme function of self
government with a carouse.
With the Mayor's attitude toward
election night bonfires in the streets,
however, it is not so easy to agree, and
many will prefer that of the Mayor's
appointee, Mr. Cropsey. The Mayor re
cently discouraged an appeal for the
prohibition of such fire?, on the ground
that "it has been the immemorial privi
lege of the small boy to burn barrels
"on election night, and we may have
"some difficulty In stopping him." But
custom should not sanction all abuse.
The evils of the bonfire practice are so
serious and so obvious as to call impera
tively for its suppression.
The effect upon the boys is bad. for it
encourages them in law-breaking. A
large part of their fuel Is stolen, some
of it being of considerable value, and
ike building of the fires Is a violation of
lau-. Tolerance of such doings may en
courage them to extend their predatory
habits to other things than barrels and
boxes, and to break other ordinances
than that against bonfires. The practice
is a nuisance and a peril to the public,
making the use of the streets in some
cases positively unsafe. As for its ef
fect upon the* pavements, now largely
constructed of asphalt or wood, it can
not be other than disastrous. In these
views of the case the Police Commis
sioner is nearer right than the Mayor.
The election night bonfire should be pro
hibited.
Wall Street think 3it is the whole
state, and therefore makes the odds 2
to 1 on Dix. •
Baltimore is all torn up over the ques
tion whether or not a Democratic states
man should wear a silk hat. the Hon.
William fihepard Bryan. Attorney Gen
eral under the last state administration,
having called attention in the course of
a legal argument to the fact that Gov
ernor Crothers didn't wear a topper for
merly, but wears one now. The question
should be referred to a committee of two.
consisting of Charles F. Murphy and J.
Sergeant Cram. They knew all about
the silk hat as the emblem of prosperous
Democracy and the acme of statesman
like form. What would the cartoonists
do if Tammany should ever fall so low
as t<> discard the aristocratic shiner?
"Mack sees a landslide." says "The
Evening Post." He evidently got the

1004 and 1908.
The report that arrangements had been
made for the construction of piers at
Montauk Point, primarily for the ac
commodation of the Olympic and the
Titanic, having been authoritatively de
nied, the question arises. Where will
they dock when they begin running to
Now York" As they are nearly sixty
feet longer than the White Star piers in
the 'Chelsea Improvement," they cannot
be cared for there. If changed condi
tions in the traffic on the Hudson should
lead the War Department to withdraw
its opposition to the extension of the
piers into the river, a simple solution of
the problem would be found. The Olym
pic will not be completed for eight
months, and there is ample time in
which to make fresh representations to
the authorities in Washington, though
hardly enough for the new construction
in case it fhould be sanctioned.
A Chicago jury assessed damages to a
golfer's wrist at only ?1.000. That jury

A resident of Fairbanks. Alaska, is so
confident that "Tom 1 Lloyd reached the
top of Mount McKinley last spring that
he wants to bet half a million dollars
that his fellow townsman can pilot an
other party over the only route yet fol
lowed with success. The proposal is
open to more than one criticism because
of its form. If it could be modified so as
to involve only the necessary expense of
another expedition something might be
gained by acceptance. Many persons be
sides geographers would be glad to learn
from fully accredited witnesses whether
or not the highest peak in North Amer

The birthplace of Daniel Webster is an
historic relic worthy of preservation, and

THE TALK OF THE DAT.'
\pparentiy every new invention brings
with It some evil. "The British Medical
Journal" points out that among distinc
tively modem diseases are the poisoning
produced by the fumes of calcium carbide
of acetylene; the headache, dyspepsia, rar
dlac failure and sensory disturbances trace,
able to the manufacture and use of aniline
dyes; the frothing of the blood, known as
caisson disease, which follows too rapid
decompression in workers at the founda
tions of bridges; the functional neurosis
known as telegraphers' cramp, resulting
from the use of the Morse key. and the
numerous affections of the skin, lungs,
digestive tract and eyes due to irritation by
organic or inorganic dusts of industrial
origin.

REMINISCENCES OF MRS. HOWE
Incidents Which Inspired Writing of
"Battle Hymn of the Republic."
To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: I learned of the death of that illus
trious cosmopolite— and. no less. American-
Julia Ward Howe, while passing through
New York the other day, and read in The
Tribune your interesting sketch of h*r life
and your tribute to her manifold claims on
our admiration and high respect.
Having served during the Civil War as
the assistant secretary of the Sanitary
Commission, T should have liked to see in
your facsimile of the original MS. of her
wonderful "Battle Hymn of the Repblic" a
reproduction not only of her calligraphy,
but. as given in her volume of reminis
cences, of the letter heading, viz.. the
words. "1". S. Sanitary Commission, Wash
ington, D. ('.." of the shct on which
she wrote it "ln the dim gray light" of that
morning following a day spent -like several
others— ln "watching a review of the Army
of the Potomac on the Virginia side of the
river." At its close, as she tells u c . SB*
and her party started the stirring strains
of "John Brown's Body," Its refrain being
caught up by the militant ma«s who had
been manoeuvring and deploying before her.
That inspiring death and war song was
largely supplanted among the "boy 3at the
front" by her own battle hymn in a year
or two after she wrote It. but no one who
ever heard cither Ming by a whole regiment
marching toward the field can ever forget
IU marvelous effect. On the occasion of
which Mrs. Howe sometimes spoke to he*
friends the refrain was doubtless sung by
the soldiers with a vigor even greater than
was their wont, for they had Just repulsed
"a sudden" and tjuite unlooked for "attack
of the enemy."
Such were the incidents which inspired
Mrs. Howe, a few hours later, to the pro
duction of doubtless the finest lyrical out
come—so far as surviving literature laom
—of any war that ever was waged. Th.it
It should huve been written on paper of
the Sanitary Commission was owing to
the fact that her husband was a member
of the Board of Sanitary Commissioner.*,
and. when corresponding ln its behaJC,
while pojournlng at their Waafctagton
hotel, he naturally employed the commis
sion's official paper.
It was on the occasion of an earlier re

and President John Quinsy Adams after

which he was generally not much given

beauty than with ber celebrity as a poet;
and though advancing years left their im

of its own alike in the rare intonations o|
her melodious voice and on the lineaments

their output, and it therefore requires more
capital to turn the Kales into money. The

Therefore all securities of fixed turn must
