TBEX AX I) HOW
Tbe death of Hugh .7. Grant who was
twi . Mayor and Twice an unsuecespful
candidate f<>r Mayor <>f New York City
iv the j>eriod before consolidation, re
calls memories of a regime in local poli
tics to which the voters of t<Mluy eim
well look back with curiosity and amaze
ment Mr. Grant was in his time the
t**t vote getter in Tammany Hal], be
cause. ibouzh accepting TanimHny'K bt«
teiu of soveninient he stood in personal
character and rcjnit*- fj;r above tun ma
jority of his co-workers under Kelly
and <:roker. The "business*' motive in
I»<>liii<-s at ihat time was emphasized by
the fjicr that th*> Democratic ]i;<riy di
vider] itself into two and often three or
four factions, each intent «.n enjoying
the «jioils of office. The County I)e
moeraey way ili«- chief rival of Tam
many Hall, and the Irving Hall in
nnwracy was a good type of the smaller
factions, which were over willing to bar
gain their support of any local ticket
for a shar»* in the nominations. Konie
tmi«*s in days of stress Uk« those of
Henry George's first eainjmisrn for the
mayoralty the Democratic factionlsts
united out of a sense of H:lf .preservation.
But usually there were not enough
«>fh'ces to go around, iOl'J Tammany and
the Cotmty Democracy bntii entered Into
a three-cornered campaign with the Re
j»ui«l><-Hns for the control of the city.
it is hard to realize now the littleness
«ud narrowness of those struggles for
what there was iv h l»K*a! election for
the professional politicians. Hardly any
body thought of administering tiV city
srov«*rnnieut for the .K-iK'ijr of the citi
zens as citizens. The motive and pur
pose were the benefit of the halls nnd
organizations to which the voters werv
«uii".'-'-.j ty owe •allegiance. Indeperi-,
dent voting was difficult, because the
ballot was neither official nor set-ret, and
party feeling ran so high that most citi
zens put party success above the real
advantage of the community. Consoli
dation nnd the spread of Intelligence
::n<l independent thinking have changed
all that. The Democratic party, as
sailed by public opinion, has had to drop
such nonsense as maintaining two or
three rival local organizations, all sup
porting the same state and national
tickets, and lias had to tijrlit to show a
bare majority -when united. It has lost
the mayoralty twice since consolidation
and has saved it twice only because of
a division in the ranks of its opponents.
In the days of Mayor Grant's political
prominence the voters had not yet
waked up to the idea that the city
should be governed primarily for their
benefit Hie political middleman was
intrenched in power. and his right to
exact any commission which he sought
to collect for his services war- too seldom
disputed. Now the middleman is being
elbowed out and the. standard is being
raised of government for the people as
well as by the people. Mr. Grant was
far better than the system which be
served and deserves credit for having
riser in his personal ideals above the
level of his political associations. But it
is more to the credit of the public here
that in the short space of ten or fifteen
years it has reached a point from which
it can look back on the pre-conso!ida
tion regime as a kindergarten era in
politics.
QUESTTOXS FOR A HrPPTrHIiITE.
1 believe in the necessity for B down
ward and honest revision of the tariff,
and that has always been my view.—
John A. Dix at Carnegie Hall.
Did you hold that view when your
Standard Wall Paper Company asked
Congress to raise the wallpaper tariff
from 25 per cent to :;.*. and 4." per cent?
I believe that such a revision can be.
mnde with slight disturbance of busi
ness, and to the great relief of the con
s-:imer. who is/after .all; the average man
throughout th» entire country.— John A.
Dix at Carnegie Hall.
Did your company, through Mr. Hup
[puch. your present campaign manager,
make false statements when it unreel
that bankruptcy stared the wallpaper
business in the face if the present tariff
rates not merely were not retained, but
were not actually raised?
7 believe such a revision ran be made.
and should be made. in such manner as
not to destroy, or even much disturb,
any large industry throughout the coun
try, and s^> ns to take Into account at
all times the right of the American
workingman.— John A. Dix ;tt Carnegie
Hall.
Was your company, through Mr. Hup
pro trying to deceive Congress when it
asked higher duties to met. the needs of
American workingmeu, pointing out thai
■'the wages paid machine printers In
"Enjrland «re 25 shillings, or $6. per
"we<>k. as against an average of $2250
"per week for the same class of help in
"this country, and it is fair to :issume
"that the wages of the other laboring
"help are in proportion"?
I am r,n record in a letter to the Ways
and Means Committee as askine: for a
reduction of the tariff on lumber of 10
per cent a y«=ar for ten year?, by which
time lumber would be free. I am on
record in a letter to the Ways and Means
Committee ns asking for a reduction of
the tariff on paper of 2ft p<=r cent a
year for five years, by which time paper
would l>f on •■. free list. — John A. Dix,
in Staten Island.
Do you think thai this belated state
meht just at the end of the campaign-^
j which, when explained, was that a rela
tive, with your 'approval; wrote sujree^t
ins the gradual luction of the tariff
on paper and lumber, the raw material!'
of wallpaper— relieves you from respon
sibility for the petition of your company
at the same time for increased duties on
the finished wallpaper, which, If your
relative's K.u£2esrion. had bee; adopted,
could have been manufactured more
cheaply than before?
1)1 A AND MURPHY.
If. those who say that Dix would not
! be a Murphy Governor would point to a
i single act of his in opposition to Mur
i phy the state might listen to their ad
! vocacy. Bui where is the single in
stance <»f opposition? His whole politi
cal record is one of subserviency and
usefulness. His political record is brief,
hut what there is of it Is all Murphy.
He was tir.-;t heard of when he was
nominated for Lieutenant Govern ■ two
years ago In a convention dominated by
Murphy and < .inner . He next appears
in political life as one of the organizers
of the Democratic League, whose osten
sible purpose was to rehabilitate the
Democratic party and rid it of its dis
credited bosses, '"vi whose real aim was
to eliminate Conners, who stood in the
way of Murphy's ambition to be the sole
and undisputed master of the Demo
cratic party. Murphy's Mount Clemens
correspondence shows this sham reform
organization to have been in regular
communication with him, to have been
under the control of his agents and to
have been acting in his Interests. Not
a finger did Party Reformer Dix or his
league lift to rid the party of Murphy's
mercenary management
When Conners was ousted Murphy
made Dix his state chairman. In that
capacity has he ever indicated the
slight. opposition to his creator? On
the contrary, all hi« efforts have been
devoted i<» smoothing the way to Mur
phy's undisputed mastery. The soreness
that was left by Murphy's thugs at
Buffalo and in Carnegie Hal! Mr. Dix
addressed himself to healing, and so well
did he do his part that he harmonized
the whole Democratic party of the stare
into Murphy's hands. Could any one
expect his serviceability to Murphy in
public office fii be any different from
hi* serviceability to Murphy In his party
office?
Tin COXTEBT ix xrw JERSEY.
The doKing days of the political cam
paign in New jersey make it sufficiently
clear that there is no convincing reason
why any Republican should holt his
party's ticket. <)ji purely personal
grounds Mr Lewis's iappeal tcfthe electors
is certainly as strong as that of his op
ponent. Both are in«>!i of lii^i) character;
of dignity and of culture That is uni
versally conceded, it might seem narrow
to urge Mr. Lewis's superiority on the
ground of his being a Dative and life
long resident ■■• the state, but at lea
it i- legitimate to argue that his many
years of highly efttcienl and Irreproach
able public Bervice in various important
office* have given him a practical famil
iarity "jth the business of the state
which in opponent cannot be mid •<•
possess. Granting their personal equality
in other respects, thai on.- consideration
sliouid give Mr Lewis h vviuning .id
vantage.
There is certainly no disadvantage for
Mr. I/'wiv in a comparison of the re
spective policies of the two candidates.
NEW-YORK DAILI TRIBUNE, SATIHDAV. NovkmbKH 5, 101".
Mr. Wilson has been expressing tine pria
cipies and making fine promises, in all i>l
which we have do doubt thai he hi en
tirely sincere, but the best part of which
In simply taken, consciously or uncon
sciously, from the principles and policies
of the Republican party which that party
has been gradually putting into effect
against Democratic opposition. Mr.
Lewis is certainly every whit as progres
sive and enlightened in his programme,
and he has probably on the whole com
mitted himself to it i little more di
rectly and explicitly than has his
opponent Mr. Martin, the brilliant
•Troirro.ssive" leader, who was Mr.
Lewis"* chief Republican competitor for
the nomination, truly says that. Mr. Lewis
is progressive enough for him and that
all Republicans are progressive now.
We cannot concede that there is any
reason for not supporting Mr Lewis in
the complaint that, the Republican party
has not fulfilled all its promises. it is
true that if has not yet done so. .-is some
of the foremost Republican leaders as
well as Democratic critics have frankly
said. But. its record is vastly better than
thai of the Democrats, and its title to
public confidence far stronger. For it his

is undeniable that .-in Immense change
for the better has come over the state in
the !:ist fifteen years, in legislation and
in administration, and it is equally un
deniable that it has all been effected by
t!io Republican party. Tax reform, in
creased state aid for Hie schools, con
trol <>f corporations, employers' liability.
Civil Service reform, increased facilities
for caring for the insane, for epileptics
ami tuberculous patients, forest and
water conservation, improvement of in
land waterways, good roads and a great
many other measures of enlightenment
and progress for the welfare of the pec
pie have all been adopted by ihe Repub
[leans, or by the majority of the Repu!>
limns. reinforced by a minority of the
Democrats.
Certainly it is more reasonable to vote
for a party which has done much than
for "no whi.-h hnv finite nothing; for the
party of affirmation than for that of ne
gation it Is not even prrtended that the
Democratic party hai undergo™
Change of heart Mr. Wilson h;is 00l

TRAXSIT XEGOTIATIOXB.
The pending agreement with the in
terborouch Rapid Transit Company in
dicated by the terms of the letter from
the Public Service Commission to the
Board of Estimate and Apportionment
regarding the Belmont tunnel is much
the most satisfactory that baa yet l>een
suggested. The company abandons its
contention that the city should pay the
cost, of thf Helmr.m tunnel, about $S,
000.000, and offers to operate the tunnel
in conjunction with the subway, provid
ing >i single fare to Queens by this route
and also by ■■•. connection with the Sec
ond Avenue Elevated Railroad over the
Queensboro Bridge,
Part of the bargain has to do with the
third tracking of the elevated lines in
Manhattan. The details of the pro
spective apreement are iv>t made public.
Perhaps they are not fully settled. How
far if will be satisfactory depends,
of course, largely upon the terms ar
ranged with respect, to the elevated
third fraekmc. The Tnterborouch com
pany has made concessions in regard to
the tunnel to Queens, and perhaps it
will show an equally reasonable spirit
regarding tbe length of the elevated
franchises and the compensation to the
public for them.

McCurdy's plan for a flitrht from a
steamship fifty miles from -shore to Gov
ernor's Island is interesting, chiefly from
a military point of view. There la no
reason to think that, even if it should
succeed, it. would lead to a change in
methods of mail transportation. But. on
the other hand, both army and navy
officers are alert to the feasibility of
scouting with the aeroplane, and have
.speculated on the chance that such an
airship can be launched from a war ves

Americans would take in a demonstra

could study the weaknesses in the coast

but it may be remarked that the foreign

good sense not to seek permission to use

PROFANITY.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Owing to the extensive use of pro
lane and blasphemous lanEruasre ha vine be
come so common se«»mins:lv among people
in all walks of life, many people have been
trying to solve the problem why this should
he in our advanced stage of civilization.
Some time neo 1 noticed an explanation
coming from Professor Thomas R. Loans
burg, which is as follows:
"P'-ofanlty is ■ brain teat; the habit is
in consequence subject to the general laws
governinc intensitivenc?:*:. To a very great
extent the practice of swearing is specially
characteristic of a rude and imperfect civ
ilization. with the advance of culture pro
fanity .Inline'! Tt declines not en much
h^caus*" m n become peculiarly sensitive to
Its viclousness. but they "1" to its ineffec
tiveness. . . . Exceptions ar*» too numer
ous to lay down any positive rule, still, it
is safe to say in ceneral that a man's in
tellectual development is largely deter
mined by the extent of his indulgence In
profanity."
I fully indorse the professor's remarks
as to profanity b«»ing a brain test, and
that It can show but a mental weakness
among those who allow themselves to fall
into the habit, but I beg to differ with him
as to its diminishing with modern culture
and education
At no time in our history were the oppor
tunities greater for education and culture
than now. On the other hand. there is no
period of civilization when the use of pro
fane and bad language has existed to any
greater extent than hi the present time.
It has permeated among the parents, even
in their own homes, and the children can
not avoid learning it.
What is needed to rid "■" country of pro
fane language to to start in our schools
and colleges an education in clean speech,
which is fast being driven out by blas
phemy, and the lav. - made to protect us
against blasphemy anrl other forms of low
language should be vigorously enforced.

CREEDS AND FORMS.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: While Bolton Hall is not a Servetus
to ho burned, It is most interesting to an
outsider to note the outcropping of the old
spirit of Calvin in the letter of your clerical
correspondent, the Rev. J. Walter .Jordan,
His argument in behalf of religious dogma
la somewhat refreshing in its naive uncon
sciousness of the intellectual progress
which has taken place in the world since
the sixteenth century.
To the humble mind of th« layman, the
distinction between a programme for action
in practical affairs, whether in politics or
otherwise, and a crystallization of hy
potheses in matters purely speculative, is
so clear that it scarcely needs pointing out.
Bolton Hall would be the last man to ob
ject to the mapping out. by churches or by
any other bodies, of a well defined line of
work to be done to accomplish ethical,
philanthropic or other needs. Belief, how
ever, in personalities, forces or laws uncon
trollable by human beings, and invisibly
governing the processes which may be ob
served, is an individual matter, and must
constantly vary in detail to any broad and
candid mind. It is the one thing which
cannot, without fatal results to veritable
truth seeking, be chained clown to a set
form of words and fixed once, for all in an
inflexible creed.
Dogma is a folly and a madness, because
it is daily confuted by the ever expanding
vision of science. It Is ■ curse to man. be
cause it stunts the best activities of the
human mind and seeks to make intellectual
processes mechanical rather than spontane
ous and organic.
The gag law so fervently advocated by
Mr. Jordan forms another proof that the
clerical mind is somewhat tardy In appre
hending the lessons of history That the,
advocates " outworn o,,t nions ' Bhould pre .
fer to suppress fre,. Bp^. h h nQt at _,„

CHINESE WIN DEMAND
Imperial Decree Convokes Par
liament in 1913.
Peklnc. Nov. 4—An official datras was
issupd to-day, announcing that an imperial
parliament, the first in the. history r>f
China, would b<> convoked in 1313.
This is a concession on the part of the
throne to the demands of the recently con
stituted *-rate - nd delegations of the pro
vincial assemblies, which recently memo
rialized th» fjovernment. ureing the early
constitution of a reneral representative
legislative body.
Thp programme fixed by th* late Em
press Dowager provided for the assembling
Of an imperial parliament in IVZ. t'ntil
recently the thrnne had refused to enter
tain petitions prayin? that the date be ad
vanepd. Recently th<» rand Council was
ordered to consider the matter, and last
Monday Prince Yu T^»ne. one of th« Grand
Councillors, announced In th» senate that
the entire ration was a.i_ni>'<l on the neces
sity nt th» early establishment of a gen
eral parliament.
To-days decree yet forth that the par
liament would ■• convened in three years.
The police went from bouse to boose, in
forming the occupants of the edict. Pres
ently the bracea banner and paper lanterns
appeared above every door. Beyond this
there waa no public demonstration.
The importance of: the throne's conces
sion is appreciated when it is recalled that
the provincial assemblies, the ttrst step
toward modern and popular government tn
China, are still in their infancy, and that
the senate, the first preneral body approach
ing: anything: like popular representation,
met for the first time on October 3 last.
As constituted, the senate did not promise
important popular legislation, a? one-half
of Its two hundred members were appoint
ed by the throne. Nevertheless, it took a
stand in favor of an imperial parliament
at an early date.
CAMPAIGN COMMENT.
DIX AND .HI? TVALL-FAPER.
From The Portland Oregonian.
"Whatever the tariff sins of the Repub
licans may be, the party leaders cannot
be accused of hypocrisy. It they ask for
high duties in practice, they also defend
them in theory. They belong: to a party
which thinks a high tariff essential to the
welfare or' the country, and in bestowing
Its favors upon any given industry they
are merely carrying their principles out in
practice. But a man who calls himself a
Democrat and at the same time lobbies
and votes for a ht|(h tariff cannot possibly
he sincere in both professions.
THE CONSTITUTIONAL. AMENDMENT.
From The Syracuse Journal. N
The constitutional amendment provides
for the election of two additional associate
judges of the Court of Appeals. This will
end the practice of designating Supreme
Court justices to serve a,> associate judges
<,r" the Court of Appeals. This amendment
increases the salary of the chief judg« of
the Court of Appeals from J10.500 and $3.7"»
for expenses to Sl&^OO. It also increases
the salary of the associate judges of the
court from $!•'."<>• and expenses to Slo.f-00.
This amendment should be adopted. It was
proposed after careful consideration by
men be are familiar with the situation
and is a great improvement on the present
arrangement.
THE MAN ON THE BOX."
From The Washington Star.
The recognized master of the situation
[at Rochester 1 was Charles F. Murphy
The leader of Tammany Hall sat enthroned
in "Room 212." "and the whole procession
one by one. knocked at his door Every
body knew that Mr. Murphy would make
the nomination, and so everybody submit
ted suggestions to him. In the end he
named Mr. r>ix. and might have done so
even without the knowledge that the selec
tion would be agreeable to Mr. Gaynor.
And. for that matter. Mr. Gaynor had
confessed Mr. Murphy's power by address
ing to him his two letters bearing on the
nomination. He did not think of Shepanl
or Dix. or Sulzer. but of Murphy, the man
on the box.
WHAT THE RESULT WILL MEAN,
i From The Watertown Times.
Whether Republican or Democratic ad
ministration results from the election the
cost of living will not be affected one rent
What will be affected is something of the
comfort of living under the. uplifted policies
'of Governor Hughes or th» down Dull'n^
policies of Tammany Hall. What will be V'~
fected will be the firm establishment of civic
righteousness, which Governor Huch»>s
worked for and which the Republican can
didate. Mr. Stimson. Is pledged to continue
