Tumulty and Lamont.
A new chairman is suggested fo the
rational r iniinit t? >? ??f each of s .? two
great parties. Tb?- republican commit
ter will meet next month. mi ?1 the in*'
*?f Mr. Ililles ma> be considered then.
Mr. McCombs having at last definitely
Nitrptrd tltt.' Frcnih mission, ii is ?;s
?timed that lie will sever -his connection
with party eommiitee work iiei'c at
home,
'These two men. both voting, were
selected for their eommittee posts by
reason of the close association of each
with the man whose fortunes were then
at stake. Mr. Hilles was acting it; the
capacity of Secrftarj to Mr I aft. and
Mr. McCombs had done valuable serv
ice in the pre-convention Wilson cam
paign. and was one of Mr. Wilsons
nearest friends.
Both selections proved satisfactory,
ilr. Hilles did all that could be done
for Mr Taft: and while Mr. McCombs
was incapacitated by illness timing a
part of the post-convention democratic
campaign, he was yet it factor in all
that went to determine tiie result at
the polls. For a mat? unknown until
then to national affaiis. he developed
rapidly ami strongly, and increased his
hold on the confluence o: his chief.
N'o name is mentioned *o tne repub
lican succession. None oc.ui s i<ad.l>
to the poi ticai si'tcu 1o ?. -.laiterj
are so eon. used ami nu^nitiit o;-. mat
aide the chairmanship tne national
committee is o; no greai consequence.
A much la:tier question relates to the
next republican presidential candidate.
That conns hist, and until that yields
something persuasive, the otner can
wait.
On the democratic side the name of
Secretary luniuity occurs at once. His
competency in politics is being illus
trated daily. He is serving the Presi
dent in an important post well. 8c
is. of course, widening the circle of his
acquaintances rapidly. He would make
an excellent chairman oi" the Uemo
cratic national committee, and could
hold the office without neglecting in trie
slightest degree the duties of trie office
he now holas.
Suppose he snould be chosen. Sup
pose the Wilson administration a suc
cess. and Mr. Wilson renominated, as
in that event ne will oe if he cares for
auch an indorsement, suppose in the
tummer of :fl<5 Mr Tumulty resigns
bis secretarj ship and takes over the
management of the W ilson campaign.
Kuppose Mr. W ilson is re-elected.
Should we not see Mr. Tumulty re
warded with a place in the second Wil
son cabinet.' Col. Lamont. it will be
remembered, after serving Mr. Cleve
land four years as secretary, served
him four as a cabinet adviser. H did
not. it is true, manage Mr. Cleveland's
second campa.gri, but he wu--> a valu
able factor at uemocratic headquarters,
and earned the recognition Mr. Cleve
land subsequently gave ??iui. Mr.
Tumultv as a politician suggests Col.
Umont in the matter 01 disc.et.uu a no

officer would succeetL
Quiet for Hospitals.
There should be comparatively little
difficult in th.s city in the establish
ment or * quiet zones" around h>- hos
pitals. as now proposed. Tne traffic in
Washington is not so dense but that it
can be regulated to this end In one or
two cases street railwaj noise cannot t?e
aatlrelv eliminated, but tuis is not the
chief factor yt the tumult that rises
ordinarily trom ih^ streets, ami with a
carefullv drawn zone regulation tne ef
lect will be to free the hospitals from
practically all tne nerve-racking nois-s |
that now assail toe <-ai < of their patient" i
Hospitals are as a rule located with re?
erence to the cheapness 01 sit'-s lather ;
than lightness o! tiartit. ' he.> are
placed also in the main so as to be con
venient and central. Citv conditions
change steadily, and consequently Institu
tions of this kind that are original y well
p'.aced in this respect are eventually sub
ject to serious disturbance In after years.
This is one of the evils oi casual city
growth without direction. The ideal city
*ian places the city hospitals centrally,
put with suitable approaches to insure
quiet. The best that can be done when
uie hospitals have been located late, and
with reference to centrallty and economy
rather than quietude, is to control Uie
traffic as far as possible to reduce to a
minimum the nuiaance and distress from
Uie noise it produces.
Saloons in Illinois were closed by wom
en's votes. It begins to look as if Mrs.
|*ankburst's? visit for the purpose of en
couraging the woman suffrage cause
was unnecessary.
The fact that a prominent statesman
goes on a hunting trip does not neces
sarily imply that, politically speaking, h<;
is taking to the tall timber.
Nineteen-thtrtfen is Mr. McCombs lucky
year, also.
The Great Inquisitor.
Secretary Redrteld may come to be
known as the tireat Inquisitor. H?- cer
t?inly will if he is permitted to carry o it
the propositions he is advancing
Take the first When the tariff bill was
Under discussion in the House. I lie repub
licans In their opposition suggested that
thf low figures of the measure would
crpple some industries and cause a reduc
tion of production, and consequently a
loss ef work for many men and smaller
pj.' for others. To this^Mr. Ked field
m:?.de reply that an? manufacturers
adopting such a policy would have to an
gwer tn the government, that an investi
gation would be immediately instituted
and the proper action taken lie did not
specify how the culprits would be dealt
w>th. but Intimated that in some way an
order would i;o out starting the plants
full speed ahead again, and raising wages
to the former figures.
Take the second proposition This was
to create a sort of tariff board of fifteen,
to be selected by himself, and to scatter
the members over Burope investigating
trade secrete?quantities tind routs of pro
duction. methods of distribution, rates of
wages, rates of living for wage-earners,
and all that. The matter is to I>e pre
sented to Congress at th? regular session. 1
It is a large order and Congress will j
want to know if it can oe executed, and j
what the size of the hill will he.
The third proposition was announced by
Mr. Redlield at St. I.ouis the other nieht.
Said lie: "If Congress approves, we pro
pose to undertake an inquiry into (In;
fundamental rcononri' laws that underlie ?
the vast work of capital and labor."
Now there is an order whieh makes or
ders one and two look small and eas-''
by comparison. The third time charms, j
Not only America, bu the industrial;
world everywhere, would benefit 'n>m an j
investigation conducted on those lines by j
competent inquisitors w bo would know !
the full value of tir ir "finds '" and ho'.v .
they should be applied to the woe- or suf
fering humanit; . If we can only get at
those "underlying economic laws" and
set them into our hands, the rest will be
easy Perfect bliss from that day will be
'\me'-ica's trade portion.
It ;na> occur to some that the multipli
cation of inquisitors may not prove pop
ular The Treasury Department is set
uiK an arm\ in motion to collect the in
onie tax. and. with Mr. Iledtield's army
following, the good people of -Hie country
will l?e kept busy answering questions, j
But in his c;>ort to Congress the Secre-!
ta.y of I'onitiicivi' will e\plain all this, or
if will be develotted by lite debates in
that I'tniv. a:i<l then everybody interested

Massachusetts.
is tie did rot at tbst succeed. Air.
Gardner will try for the governorship of j
Massachusetts again He Rives notice'
that next year will tind him in the field. I
He sa>s: "My campaign will be mad#
squarel> on a liberal platform, with a \
view to aligning tin republican party in :
tlvs state with, the new republicanism."
We!!, what may that be. as distln- i
gushed from the old republicanism anil j
from bull moosistn?
Mr. I.odge. of whom Mr. Gardner has '
heard and probably thinks well, rep
resent s the old republicanism, and yet
j claims to be progressive in his principles. ,
I In the recent tariff debate he stood for
protection. In the cunency mutter he is
standing with his party, in the Philip
pine matter he will oppose scuttle. What
change will Air. Lodge have to make in
order to support his son-in-law next
year? This year the senator was out of
action as the result of illness.
Charles Supiner Bird represents bull
moos'sm. and may corv Air. Gardner's
example, and try again'next year. He
j ran neck and neck with Air. Gardner this
1 year. He can afTord another race, and
I may make it.
j According to Air. Gardner, there are in
I Alassachusetts four patties: The old re
1 publican, the new republican, the demo
cratic and the bull moose, and next year
will see Air. Gardner at the head of the
new republicans. Air. Walsh at the head
of the democrats and Mr. Bird at the
head of the bull moose rs. Now, If Air.
Gardner should fail to align the old re
publicans w ith th^ new?and he may fail?
who will head the old republicans'.'
And in such an event what will be
Air. Gaidner's chances of success? This
year, with the support of many old re
publicans. who refused to break with
him even after he had repudiated the
platform tiiey hat! written for him, he
fell far short of election. Without the
old republican support next year, where
will he tind the numbers necessary to
win? He could not recruit them from
either the democratic or the bull moose
party.
And there is still another point for Air.
'Gardner to consider. This > ear Mr.
i
Roosevelt did not enter the Alassachu
setts campaign. Next year he is likely
to stump tiie state against anything and
everything describeu as progressivism
whicn Air. Gardner max he urging* on
the voters. He and Air. Gardner nave
tadlcally different ideas about wnat that
means, although each ca~i!s him.-elf a
progressive.
But next year, as congressional tickets
as well as stale tickets will tie on the
caitl in ilie l>ay siaie, i ie oict republican
ism of protection anu souna money will
receive a good deal ot attention, and Air.
Gardner ma^ nok mid himself as fat
al* ay ironi nis old associates as hi now
feels himself to be.

Surgeon McBurney.
The death of Dr. Charles McBumey calls
to mind the remarkable developments
in modern surgery that have marked the
last twenty years. It was in ISHSJ that
he urst secured recognition as an expert
on the disease which has come to be
known as appendicitis, but which in
former times passed under a variety of
designations. In a paper printed that
v ear in a medical journal In* designated
.? particular spot in the body at which
special tenderness is indicative of a
diseased condition in the appendix. This
became known as "McBu<ney's point."
and by use of the information which
it yields to a diagnostician thou
sands of livts have undoubtedly been
saved. In the beginning operations
for appendicitis were by no means highly
effective, and it became a gruesome jest
that "the operation w is a complete suc
cess, but the patient di -el of shock." Now
adays an operation for this affliction is
so uniformly the means of restoring the
patient to complete health that it is no
longer dreaded as necessarily dangerous.
Dr. McBurney's fame as a surgeon was.
however, not based solely upon his skill
In abdominal cases, but it whs that par
ticular flelu of operation tiiat sa?e him
h s chief distinction among American
practitionci s. Probably more than any
other individual he e>tabiished the con
fidence with which this means of remov
ing an actual or potential danger element
from the system is adopted. Some ques
tion ha* arisen whether-the freedom with
which the vermiform appendix is remov
ed by surgery may not. produce an ulti
mately harmful effect. Some skeptics
aver that It in entirely contrary to nature
|to eliminate any part of the body without
1 some harmful reaction. The present
theory of anatomy is that the .vermiform
appendix is a remnant of a formerly im
portant digestive function and has at
present no real part in the process of
food assimilation, this change being due
to the difference between modern and
ancient foods, if the appendix !s actual
ly in slow course of elimination by natu
ral processes, its fo'rcible removal by
surgery is calculated to hasten its pass
ing and produce a generation of people
in whom this troublesome little sac is
missing. In which event surgery will have
lost one of !t< most frequent causes of
operation.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
Trying to Explain.
"Why do so many young men leave the
farm?"
"Well." replied Farmer Corntossel. "in
most of the cases I have observed it was
because they couldn't earn their salt as
larin hands an' wasn't fixed to pay
board."
Uninteresting.
"Why liyes that ?ian live so negledfed
and o scure?"
"He's one of these people who haven't
bad habits enough for anybody to take
an interest in reforming him."
"Show me de income," said L'ncle Eben,
"an' I it be satisfied to keep de change
after payin' de tax."
?v
An Indispensable (tuantity.
In every household there is found
The self-denial all complete
That carves and passes things around
And watches all the others eat.
Telltale Marks.
"it's not only the thumb prints that
leave a clew." said Mr. Dolan. as he laid
aside the detective story. "I can tell you
offhand now that Casey the contractor has
been having trouble again with his wife."
"How can you tell that?" inquired Mr.
Rafferty.
"By the knuckle prints under Casey's
left ear."
Serious Question.
"Where are you going?"
"To the Department of Agriculture,"
replied the city .man who has bought a
farm. "1 want them to settle a dispute be
tween my wife and me about the best
way to milk .a cow. I tlilnk it would be
sufficient to tie piliows around the cow's
feet, but my wife insists that the only
practical way is to give the cpw chloro
form.
, The Old Arithmetic.
1 had a lot of trouble
With that old arithmetic.
It kept me bending double
Over problems long and thick.
Addition and subtraction
I "sed to rob me of repose
And when 1 hit a traction, ?
1 was rendered comatose.
When at iast 1 quit my schooling.
Sweet relief I hoped to see.
1 would shout for Golden Ruling
And I'd quit the Rule of Three.
Hut my hopes proved sadiy futile
For the numbers wore a look
Kven more abruptly brutal
Than the figures in the book.
With offensive ostentation
Figures dominate each plan
From the latest legislation
To th? wheeze. How Old Is Ann'.'"
They will roar and romp and rattle
Till your soul glows sore and sick
And your life seems one long battle
With that old arithmetic.
Warring on the Loan Shark.
from the World's Work.
The National Federation of Remedial
Loan Associations, despite its somewhat
cumbersome title. Is inking a vigorous
attack against the loan sharks and at
the same time promoting a well plan
ned defense against their evil occupa
tion. The federation's attack is made
by subjecting them to a competition
thai they cannoi^fctand. The defense
consists in legislating them out of busi
ness. Superficially it would seem that
legislation might be a sufficient pro
tection to the poor who fall a prey to
the loan sharks. But in practice it is
found not to be so. Yet although laws
are not entirely effective alone, they
are an essential part of any effective
campaign. During the last year antl
loan-shark bills wye introduced In
twenty-four states and in seven states
reasonably good laws were enacted.
The more aggressive part of the cam
paign against the loan sharks is the
ever-increasing business done by the
remedial loan associations themselves.
In 1909 there were fourteen of them,
in 191 there were thirty-three, and
ten of these were admitted to the fed
etation this year. There are, besides,
four or five other societies in process
uf organization. The fees and interest
which these remedial loan associations
charge are so much lower than the
rates of the loan sharks that the pres
ence of a loan association is a more
effective check on usury than pro
hibitive legislation.
Tammany's Power Shrinks.
From the Rochester roat-Fx ureas.
Divided against itself and hard beset
by a coalition of its foes, the house of
Muiphy has gone down before a storm
of popular indignation. Tammany is still
a potent force in metropolitan politics
and must be as long as her ideal of gov
ernment primarily for the benefit of the
organization and incidentally for the
common liood continues to be the ideal
of a considerable minority in a vast and
heterogeneous population. It is a safe
prophecy, however, that the day of her
undisputed dominance, whan only an
accident or a furious popular outcry
could wrest the control of the city from
her. has gone by forever. That day also
lies behind her when she could name
governors, control legislatures and All
public, institutions and departments with
subservient creatures who pay the or
ganization for their election by taking
orders from an "invisible" governor of
the state.
Persuading Huerta.
From the Kansas City i?tar.
The administration still hopes Huerta
will yield to "moral suasion.' He
makes a noise, however, like a man
who can only be persuaded with *
dub.
No Perceptible Drop.

Considering that prices are still un
