McCall Would Turn Over the Places j
to .Murphy " Without a Blush."
Aaftflt Mr. McCall's gpeflCk at tlie Tammany Hall
raUticalion Pflflting hfl D-g-l }**** as well stop Th
tfgpMng his shopworn phrase tbtmt being "_0 man's
mau." Wlth ttM hungry hnrdes ?'f Tammany sur
rouuding him- their months watering fOT the plums
of patronagfl, he voiced what he termed his "?'m-.r':
-ln ttM sdctiou ol P**N* 0_k4_to, if the Dg_a>
crmttc ticket is gtoetod, wa wiiironsuit ttM leaders
Of our party." Tliis Wtmld bfl eminently proper. ho
averred. bflCaUflfl DO Demoerat ever asked public
officials to do anything which would brinp tlie blush
?of shame to their hmws.
The effronteiT of Tammany's candidate in pro
Tlflimlm at this time tlie old. old political creed
?Tn Ihe victors belong the spoils" is astonishiug.
While the whole state is ringing wlth Sulzer's eharge
that h?* was impeached l-eeause he wouldn't turn
over the Iligbways Department, with its huge con?
tracts, to Murphy's associate, "Jim" (.affncy, aml
Ihe Labor Department. with a hundred new and
lucrative Joba, td Murphy's man "The" McManus.
McCall calmly expresses confidence that "the Chief
would never ask hlm to do anything which would
ibrlng a blush to his brow.
Rlushes are largely fl matter of sensitive COB
[gClggre and tomperament. Perhaps Mr. McCall
would find himseif able. at Murphy's request, tn
band over the Police Department of this city lo
?Ton," Foley. and the Fire Department to "The"
M*-.M,inus, and the Department of Water Supply.
Ggg aild Klectricitr to "Jlm" Caffney. Bnch ?
course would be ijuite in line with his handing OOt
refereeships to the Tainmany faithful during his
Kerrice as Supreme Court Justice. But every decent
dttMB would blush fbf him and feel tempted to
Wigp fo* ttM city's shame.
ll la fortimate for the city that Mr. McCall's con
fflaaloa "f allegiance t<> Murphy and his promise to
shake the ]ilum tree for Murphy's bojg eome at this
time. They give ttM voters ample opporUinity tO
Mtg ttM dty frmn him and fmm Murphy.
Fusion and the "Business Element."
OM of the BBOfll signifiennt phases of the city c.'iini
paltm hns heen the pronounced drift of the substan
tial lu-iness element to the support of John Purroy
lOtcbeJ. Many. if not most, business mon have in
teuiled all along t<i vte for the rest of the fusion
tnket. but stories of Mr. Mltchel's "socialistic ten
demics" daunted thom as to his candidacy?until
they lavflflttgatfl- Now lelters, interviews and
checks daily flttflflt their purpose to vote for him
and against Tamm.'iny.
It is | bopflfOiI sign, furnishIng fresh prnof that
the voter these days does his own thinking. No
campaign shihboleth of "socialism" applied to Tam
niany's opponent or of "economy" applied to Tam
many's own man has been able to stand the test of
faeUi, duly analyzed. Practical, honorable business
? men will vote fnr the fusion ticket and progress and
egainst Tammnny and misrule, as they ahould.
To What the President Has Opened the
Door.
If President Wil9on wants to know what appoint?
ments to the "cxempt" cl.iss in the civil servbe
often BM?, in view of his approval of the efforts ot
Conijrress to tamper with the merit system, he mijilit
profltably recall some testimony which was recently
glven at an official investigatimi ln this stale. For
example:
"What were hls duties ns confidential clerk?"
"Well. really, I couldn't find anything for him
?to do."
"Wouldn't a confidential clerk have some ntnted
duties?"
"He would be confidential to me, but I did all the
confidential work myself. I didn't flnd anything
for hlm to do."
"Were there some days when he dld not report?"
"There wire a good many days when I never saw
,him."
"Did you certify that he* worked regularly?"
"Yes, 1 certlfled to the payroll."
"You certlfled that he worked every day?"
"Yes, sir."
The "confidential" employe in question himseir
was lnterrngated. and replled as follows:
"What hours did you work?"
"Well, I couldn't say. 1 done whatever work
was to be done, but tlure isn't very much work at?
tached to the OfBce I held."
"You tock your salary right alonfr""
"Yes."
"Dtd you feel that you were entitlcl tfl takr your
salarv from the stat*?'.'"
"Well. 1 took it."
And of such _ the dtM of "exemi'ts" and 'Vontt
dential" employes, which the President MV bMfl to
increase and multiply.
Another King for Bavaria.
The determination of the Bavariau governnieiit to
depo-e King Otto and to euthrone the Priacg Ke
gent, Ludwig. in his phue ir> reasonable and just. |
but the fact that the depositiou has been delayed ko i
long is u striking tribute to the conservatism <if the j
i-ountry and to its regard for the divine right ot i
kln^s. li waa not stiaii-c tlia' th*- ??.-<rti-t King"
Ludwig II was declared insane und waj? Nntaced by
a regeut. or that the regemy was continue?l after
hia death aud the uoiuinal accessiou of his still luott*
insane brother. But it wat; fl_tnord_Mrj that the
regency shouid bg muintaiued for more than tweiity
seven years, durini; all of whlch time it fl*M ahout
as ciTtuin as anything could be iu human affairs
tbat Otto would never bt* uble to reign aud would
provide u*> bfl?' tn succeeal him.
Ludwig III, as the new King will I.e styled. is
three years older than the madinan whose plaee he
will take. but he is a man of stulwart body aud
inind, wltb numerous chiidren aml grandchiidren. so
tbat the succession to tbe tbrone will be well as
sured.' Tlie change will not alter the relations 0 tlie

A Worthwhile Centenarian.
To span tbe gap from Napoleon as l.inpcror t'? the
Panama canal is ? bandeome period of living. Mo
wonder that mootl of Williamsburg t iirn.il OOl 1" do
bonor to its centeneiltn, Joseph De Long.
What added espectflJ interest to this lively old eiti
zen's birthday party was the fact that he was ahle to
furnish hls own parade. Six children. tsventy-nine
grandcbi-draa. twanty-nlne gr8nt*granifkhlh1r8-i gnd
two great-great-grandcbildren marcbed in his wake
and tonsed the nelghbothobd to iou<i tbeera.
This appeals to us as tlie best centenarian's re'
onl we bare seen in a good while. IMially such
Bged <iti/.ciis seem to have DOCUag to talk ahout on
their birthdays save their use of ruin?or else thelr
total Bbottnence from liquor. tobacco nnd everything
uf interest. Such oocasions appeal to us as dulness
personlfied.
As for Mr. Joseph De Long. he ha. mnde his mark
in the worl.l gnd hns every right to celchrate. May
his parade increase!
Among His Own.
It was entlrely natural that Mr. MeCall should
have fhe greatest "ovntion" of his campaign in Tain
many Hall. Lnlike many other prophets. he is not
without honor in hls own country. As "Big Tom''
Foley well said when the Delmonleo Designallon
Council was in session, Mr. McCall answers exactly
to the description, "a man of our kind."
The candldate for Mayor this year did not have
to look wonderlnfty around and say to the Btartled
ahorigines gatheretl to meet him. "So this is Tam?
many Hall." He knew moet of tlietn and all of
them knew him, nml it was their sulilime faith that
hc would live up to the last letter of liis obligation1*
to them ns a trihesman nnd ? brother that ggpreaeed
itself in that twenty-eight minute hurrah.
A Mississippi Ci.ngressiiian who came here to the
last Tammany Fourth of July celebration said that
the fnithful who were admltted to lhe barbectie
which followed the speaking ate like famished
beasts. lt was tlie cry of the starvlng whi. h met
the Mayoralty candidate's ears on Tuesday nlgbt
T'ney feel that they will not 88k for bread. if Mc?
Call is elected, and. receive a sbuie. Nowhere else
!n the city could he have had or expected a mote
onthusiastic welcome. That welcome ls Itself the
most ilhiu.inating evldence yet given of tbe true
eliaraeter of his candidacy. His heart beal as 008
wlth the famished. He was at bOOBfl gmottg "his
own."
Fancy and Fact in Latin America.
The President does not exaggerato the evils ..f ihe
foreign lOltceeelon and loan system in Latin Amer?
ica, but it ls to be feared that he is overoptlmlstic
in hls vision of its immediate abolitiou. Tbooe coun?
tries, be says, "will DOW be etuancipatcil from
those conditions." Yet at this very momenl one of j
the largest concesslons on record is being granted
ln Colombia, and others are in ptoepect
The fact is that those countries simply must bave
foreign capital and euterprise for tlie development
of their resources, and if they ennnot gel them iu
one way they must ln another. The Prealdent says
that we ought to be the lirst to assist th.-m in ilieir
emancipation. Yes; but hoss? Hc deprecatOfl the
very thought of material inlerests. and insists that
our union witli those states must be a spiritual
union and our commerce with them a .ominerce of
thought and aympathy. Hut will spirituality pro?
vide capital or sympathy build rnilroads7
Foreign loans and coueossions have dotibtless

more than amiable phrnses iv needed to take their
plgce. The aiil whicli this country should give lt*

Indeed, if we will assist them to deTelop thelr

The Manhattan Borough Presidency.
Adminlstration of tlie affairs of Manhattan Bor
ough has gone a long way ahead under Oeotge Mc?
Aneny. Lffieieney, eeonomy and a broad construc
tive spirit uiidt'canied of in Tainniany times bave
marked the conduct of that oCBea under the fusion
ndmiiilstration There have been no favorites and
there has been no graft.
There shoual be no backward fltep. Marcus M.
Marks, the fusion nominee to succeed Mr. McAneny,
is a man of the same blgb type -a broad gauge, hoii
niiible business mnn, with a record of service in
social and phllauthropical -.\ork of whlCfa anybo.lv
