Murphy and Brady's "Tainted"
$25,000.
Thls campaign is dis. losing stnmge things. A year
ugo anybody who **C* laimed Tammany Hall to be
lhe guardian of the honor and virtue of the state
und Charles F. Murphy Its chief exponetu of puilty
in politics would have ben considered a candidate
for Matteawan. Yet Tammany is clalmlng credit
for the impeaehrnent of Sulzer and Murpby is sol
cmnly ganeftblf that he gave back tbfl $25,000
which Anthony N. Brady COOtribllted last fall.
through "Sam" Beardsley. of Iti- a.
It was strange tbat Sulzer, candidate for (.ov?
ernor, declined tbe money. lt was natural enough.
under those clrcunistanoes. for Murphy to ask
"What's the matter with it?" But. no taint having
been diselosed whleh would render it impossible
of use as legal tender, it is ptissing strange that
Murphy should ponder the matter and then dedde
to hand this handsome contributlon back.
I'nfortunately, Mr. Brady is dead and the Hich
Court of Impeaehrnent decllned to let Beardsley tell
about thls transaction. so the public is not likely ever
to know what ailed the money. Brady was Gas, and
Electricity and Water Tower. to bo sure. He was
The Interests, in capital le-ters. But thnt never
bothered Tammany before, oithcr in Murphy's reign
or prlor thereto. Tammany bas done business im
partially witb the street railway crowd and the
elevated railway people; Just gg Tammany has done
?business with tbo rallroads seeking privileges and
the building material interests endeavoring to get
a building code favorable to thelr parti eulnr brand
of fireprooflng.
But Tammany never has been known to be
tinicky. It has been willlng to do business witb
the saloonkeepers and the gambling house propric
tors. and has not shlod off very far from the brothel
keepers. So it eeems reasonable to believe that
."tnething very. very terrible must have been the
matter with Brady's $25,000 to force Murphy to
return it.
It is just possible Murphy didn't return it. in
spite of his assertion. Sulzer says that Murphy
conakkn it unlucky to return money once he has it
in liis hands. And maybe Sulzer's right; be's had
experience enough with campaign contrfbutions
and wlth Murphy to speak with authority ou both
subject s.
The Panama Free Port Plan.
The suggestlon of a free port at Panama, which
was made yesterday at the Southern Commerclal
Congress. Is a reminder that thfl isthmiun canal will
be something much more than l water way. It will
be a sort of central station. where many ilnes of
commerce from all parts of the world will meet and
cross, and where there will be opportunlty for a
vast amount of exehanging. These conditions wlll
naturally mean the building there of a considerable
city devoted to trade aud industry, and especially
to the transshipment of commerce.
It ls pointed out that the free port system haa
-chiefly contrlbuted to the enormous development
of Hamburg, Hong Kong, Singapnre aud other cities,
iwithout, of coureo, at all Interfering with tlie regular
customs duties of the countries in which they are
ieituated. A free port at the isthmus would not
'affect canal tolls or the tarlff system of this coun
[try. It would mean that in n world emporium
rgjooda could be bought and sold and exehanged
'without payrnent of import or export dues.
Louis Napoleon once predioted that an isthmian
;_anal there would develop the greatest commerclal
city of the world. Tbe prospect of such an achieye
ment ls not unreasonable, and lt ls carefully to be
'considered whether the free port system wfll not be
ineeessary for it
Cure the Children's Ills.
It is to be boped the Department of Health will
??btain the increase <n its bvdget for tTIo Division
of Child Hygiene which it is seeking. The total
amount of the increase is 1.20,100. For this tho
bureau expects to hire nine addltional nurses, Bve
Bdditional medlcal tngpgcton and eleven addltional
dentists, to supplement n staff which experience
has demonstrated to be entirely too small to do the
M?rk allotted to it.
There are more tban 800,000 school children in
this city. and the number n >w is about 40,om>
greater than it was last year. In 1912 the doctors
and nurses of the Division ot Child Hygiene exam
ined more than 200,000 children for disease and
found that. 72 per cent needed medical attenti-m.
But the reet had to go uncared for. whatever their
ailments. It is believed that the increasod staff
sought will be able to care lor the increasod flcbool
enroliiient this year. and perhaps do soniethinc
toward caring for the proportiwi of the anrolmeiit
unvisited last year. It lfl poor eeonomy to let Blnof
ills in children develop int<> serious ones f.,r lack
nf .lttentlon, and eventually comnel attention in the
iit\'s clinics and hospitals. This im-reased appro
priation is for I worthy puipn.-e.
Leading and Following in Mexico.
lt is gratifying to know that the Buoyegg powen
will follow the Iead of the l'nited States in Mexico.
They are under'no coniptilston to do so. but their
dokig so will be an act of courtesy contirming in?
ternational amity and making for the solution ?f a
voxatimis proMem. It will also be sentiuieiiially
welcoine and practically helpful to fhe l'nited
States.
But it would be I great mistake to regard it as
relieving this counCy <>*' reepogelb-Hty. fa the
loutrnry, it Igyg ill*o.i us an a.lded luinleu. If those

The Sad Fnd of a Great Man.
lt was all too ohviniis that Mr. Murphy had heen
far from himseif nf late. 0_Cg a silent, masterfui
Ngpoleon of politics, he has become little more than
a qnlveri-g Uunp of worry.
Now the exphuiation begins lo appear. Vet this
crucial question still remains: Was Mr. Murphy
already a shadow of his former self when Mr.
Rrady's |2IMXK) came within his grasp; or was it
tbe return of tlie 00,000 wl.i.'h flrst hroke B mighty

Baseball and Matrimony.
In the name of the national pame and all who
hold lt sacred protest nmst he entered against that
IVnnsylvania man-yes, from the state which pro?
duced the Athletics-wbo deserted his wife hecause
she was a "fan." Ile redtcd, Just as if it were a
legitiraate cause of complaint. that she attended the
ball pame nearly every day, compolling him to get
his own supper. and talked hasehall all the time;
whereas. he took no interest in the sport.
If this unforttinate and misguidod man's wife had
been a stiffragette, who insisted on endeavoring to
convert him to the cause, he might have had real
pround for complaint. If she had neglootod his
supper t*. pive soap hox lectures on the corner, as
diil the wife of a Brooklyn citizen who recently
took hls case to the courts, this anti fan mlgnt
have acrpilred sympathy ln the community.
If she had only displayed an uncnquerable devo
tion to the family piano at lnopportune hours there
mipht posslbly have heen some Shadow of justiflca
tkm for his conduct. Hut for a man to possess a
wife with a love for the pame and knowledpe
enough of it to appreciate it and then to desert her
? verily. it is almost a case of pearls hefore svvine.

Bosh from a Master Hand.
Tho McCall campaign is wrocked and sinking.
Distress slpnals are poing un. And as a hist sign
of panic Mr. Joseph Johnson is tJirned loose to rant
upon the decks.
There ls a faint possibility that we are doing
some unknown driveller a wrong in ascrihing the
daily 'Tommon Sense Talks" to Mr. Johnson Rut
we doubt it. Mr. Johnson's bosh ls in a class by
itself, and theso outpourinps in the advertising col
umns show a masters touch.

The "Ritual Murder" Infamy.
The Kieff trial is chielly sipnifnant as a rernlnder
of the narrow marpin which separatcs some Ylv
ilized" countries from barbarism. This pgrgecnfloa
of the Jews on a charge which is both n.onstrously
and absurdly false ls at par with the pgrggcntlOB
of Christians by the I'omans In the days of Jusiiu
Mai'tyr on the practically identical t_fluTge that they
uscil huniiin sacritices in the KuoharKt and with
tlie mad riotings of ("liinose ngalnst "foreipn devils"
in recent years for a similar cause. Then is no
more cause or e-xcuse for this accusatiun apalnst the
Jews than there was for those against Christians.
The hideous libel was tirst Dttered against Jews
at N'orwioh, in the dark days of King Stephen's
reign. It has since been repggtod many times,
chiefly in Kastern Kurope. Mut there is probably
DO more grouwlloss caluiniiy ln the world, none that
has been supported with less shadow nf plausiblllty
and none that has been more inmriably and com?
pletely pilloried as false, even bv ihe religious an
tagonists of those ugainst whom it has been di
rected. Kor Krank, the author of perhaps the most
conrincing vindication of the Jews, was a RoflMl1
Catholic priest. while McCanl, Strack, Delit/.sch and
other non-Jews have written poWggfMUj tO the same
effect ln support *.f the aooiisatirrn there has never
been one respectable writer.
It Ig unhappily not surprising that the igin.iant
and siiperstltimis populace of the Itussian provliues
shouid BOW BBd then revive the monstrous thln?.
just as voudotiism prevails In the ror-esses of Haytl
and juju is stlll potent in the Qtllneg hliiterland.
The most palnfnl feature of the case is that the
RnggJBB privernmei.t pives it cotmtenance hy prosf
cuting suits against Jews for this cause, instead of
pr**oeo*l!ng against their gCCTIgetg, It is notorious
that these charges are usually truiiiped up by mis
eraanta whose desipn is thus ti) iiulte "pogromn," ln
Which they will have an opportunlty to plunder
Jewiah shops nnd to oomniit still more beinotM otit
rages, and who to that end play BBOB the passlons
uf the BBOBJt IgBOnnt nnd depraded oleinents of the
population. That iBpgfftnnt ofheers of tho R_sslan
povernment shouid periodi. ally I?mkI themselves nnd
