It Is for Mr. Whitman to Say Whether
Thi9 City Shall Belong to Tam?
many and the "System" or Not.
Distrid Attorney Whitman haa nllowed BOfOVfl
Pnatdent IfeAaaay to pet abaad of him in daclBrtni
arllUBfDgaaj to BBTTB the city in gpttB of the slipht t<
which he had beou subjected and in spiio oi th<
shnmeful peanut politics played by the fusinn com
mlttee.
Mr. MtAnanj recopnizes thnt tho one hope of de
feating Tammany lios in tho fuslon ticket. no mat
ter how it was nowinated. And liko a patriotle dtl
7<?n he overlooks tho tinworthy way in which he wae
uaed and lends the strength of his nnme to tbt
fuslon cause.
Mr. Whitman cannot be behind Mr. McAneny lr
patriotlsm. He cannot he less wllllng to serve the
publle than the Borough Presidcnt. If his record ns
n flghter agalnst tbe "Kystem" menns anythlng h?
will do nothlng to .leopard the suooesa of tbe anti
Tammany movernent.
And Mr. Whitman can make or brenk thnt more
ment.
Tbe pTactiral certainty whlch exlsted that this
dty wnuld be free for the next fotir years fmm
Tammany domlnation has been erimlnnlly tbrown
away by the cheap llttle wire pullera who made urj
tho majority of tbe citizens" committee. Tbey cared
more nbont the futuro of the Progressive party and
the pollticB of the Wilson administration than they
cared about whether the eity was to be freed from
Tatrrmany and the "Systera" or not. They rejected
a candldate who could certainly win and chose one
whose miccess is doubtful bocause they cmild thttf
serve mean pnrtisan onds. They lied in thelr pro
.'eapion of non-partisanship in munieipal alactJoaa
They were tbe worst of partlsans. as intent upon
spolls ns Tammany itself.
The Propreseive orpan. "The Kreninp Mail."
Khows the spirit nf the enterprise In whlch New
Vork was cbeated out of the certalnty of bonest
povernment for the next four yoars. Of tho fuslon
ticket lt speaks as n trlumph for the Propresslve
pnrt\. If lt hnd been an honest fuslon ticket lt
WOOM have been h trlumph for good cltlzenship over
ihe natlonal party spirit whlch enters Into munl<i
pal eleotions only for tbe betrayal of our ritles Into
the hands of plunderinp rir.gs.
And whnt a trlumph it was'. The ticket that wns
put up rnn be savetl only throupb the patriotlsm of
Mr. Mr-Atii'iiy and Mr. AHiltman. If the city M
lucky the triumph of the Propressive party will not
mean a victory for Murphy at tha polU.
The State's Gostly Kconomy.
Whatever the offlclals investigatlnp tbe Long
Beach disaster may decide was the cause of it, the
real, primarj- cause was the prade cro.ssing. With
out that tbe accident could not have happened,
whatever the gptad of automobile aud train. There
are about four hundred snch prade crosslnga within
the llmlts of preater New York and scores of others
on roads near by where traffic is thlck. Each four
yeara tho6e within tbe dty boundaxles kill about
ona hundred persons and crlpple as many more.
The Btate ls officialiy cominirted to a policy of
cllminating tbese grade crosslngs by paylnp one
fmirth of the cost nnd permittinp another fourth to
be aasessed on the municlpality or county bene
flted. Yet for two years no appropriatious toward
thla work have been approvod, aud until the stato
seta aside lts share of the cost no work may be
begun. Gorernor Dix in 1912 vetoed approprlatlons
of $7f3O,000 mada by tbe Legislature, on the acore
of economy. and (iovernor Sulzer this year for the
aame reason withbeld his approval from approprbi
tionB of $fXK).(K>0.
It ia very poor economy. This stale hangs behind
othora less wealthy in work of this character.
There is llttle reason for prido in Its record of
?aring dollara at the expense of citizena* llves.
Texas to the Rescue.
Texas is pre-eminently the stnte with ihe cajm
cioua and open heart. Moved by her quick lnstlnr-t
of penero*ity, ahe has Jfjggpad out aheud of all the
otber alsters ln reliovlng one of tbe aaddest ojisoh
of impoYorishment in olllce of whlch American liis
tory has any record. When Secretarj- Bryan un
faldad his harrowlnp tale of havlng to OB0 vaca
tlons nnd other hreathlnp ppells fightinp to keep
the wotl from the door, many statea Kniffed sus
IiiciouBly and suggested that if the Great Commoner
COOJd u<'t !iv<? on bls $12,000 salary he should qult
i.rOce and go back to more remuneratlve work In
]irivate lif?'.
Not so Texas. The Texans know with what a
paup Mr. Bryan would aeparate blmself froCfl his
present surroundinpa. Tbey feel that ln hla case
the call af thrift could never qulte allence the
call of honor. Tbey could not bear to see g grsftt
Boul torn with the anxielles of uumet '?lixtnl
charpes*' and a bank account palsled by outlays on
unremunerative Jnvestmeuts.
They are fOBBg to do what they cnn to l"it all
Mr. Biy-nn's enerpy. lmagiuatiun and business abll
ity at tlie sen'ice of the goYernment. They have
ralBed $4.<,,^. atid don't intend to (|ult nutil they
raiae IHOjfflr^ whlch wotdd mean an addttJufj Of
$12,ri00 a year to Mr. Bry;in's bjCOBM for the four
years <>f Ms [iresent lerm. The Secrelary of State
has ? farm in Texas, and Ihe Texans are stire bi
neexis the nn.ney to keejt it and otber "overhoad"
raatftraa poing. If other states- Nebraska. where
he now llves and owus real eatate, and Illlnois,
where he was boni-are equally appreelative. the
Socretary of Stato may quit lerniriiig. apply him
