not afraid of it.—Thomas A.- Edison in an interview.
This it about two judicial decision#.
Governor Hay violated the direct primary law
four years ago by spending thousands of dollars il
legally in his race for lieutenant governor. Charles
Coon, one of his opponents, brought action against
him. The supreme court found Hay guilty of the
charge made against him. The facts were beyond
question against Hay.
Was Hay removed from office? No, indeed not.
For the supreme court suspended Hay's sentence. It
announced that "the penalty of removing him from
office would be too great." In other words. Hay was
given another chance. And Hay has taken the other
chance. He spent twice as much this year in his
primary campaign only. Together with his final elec
tion expenses, he will have paid out for another term
at Olympia an amount in the neighborhood of $50,000.
Take the Hay case and comparc it with the re
cent supreme court decision in the Black case. Judge
Black received the highest vote as democratic candi
date for governor. The question of his eligibility was
raised before the supreme court on ground that the
laws did not permit a judge to run for office during
hu term.
The supreme court found that Judge Black did
contravene the law. But the supreme court did not
announce again that "the penalty would be too great."
Indeed not. It removed Black from the gubernatorial
race.
It is a favorite jest of the joke writers and the cartoonists
to bid us "pity the poor rich."
But is there not, after all, just a bit of truth in the
admonition? Here is a test.
A certain New York newspaper ha* a custom of print
ing every Sunday on highly-calendared |*apcr the picture of
five or six of fashion's darlings. They are sometimes pretty
women, but rarely is there the expression of happiness or
joy or content upon their features. They look weary, bored,
cross, or peevish.
And there is > reason. They have nothing to struggle
for!
They are born to social position. Dressing is a question
for the maid to solve. Meals are all arranged by a house
keeper and her staff of serv; |its.
Does she want diamonds?
Write a check!
Would she like to go abroad?
Once more the ready check b«*>k.
A yacht ?
The money is available.
Do yon wonder they are bored? Nothing to do in life
but cat and sleep, dress and pi .'jr.
After all, there is something tonic in work. After all,
life's pleasures are sweetened and heightened by the strug
gle to secure them. So that the rich who neither work nor
Struggle, who are wasters and not producers, are really to
be pitw-d.
They don't know life. They only know a gilded cspe.
Predicament of a Great State
Three candidate? have been named for governor by the
three leading political parties in New York.
The Republicans have nmninated Job Hedges, a man
with a clean, honorable record, politically and personally. The
Progressives have put up Oscar Straus—humanitarian, phil
anthropist, an ideal type of American citizenship. The Demo
crats have chosen William Sulzer. He has been a party man,
and a Tammany man. but not of the corruptive type. He
Stands for principles as well as party, and di<uUins personal
advantage.
No matter whom the voters of New York state elect,
they seem destined to have an honest governor and a good
administration.
What a situation! What's this country coming to, any
way?
OUR little secretary of state will leave the golf links long
enough to make a Taft speech while he's in town.
TOMORROW is the last registration day. Do it now.

BOSTON Elevated Railway magnates send tip a wail
because strike breakers pocketed all the fares during last

IT'S really funny. On the one hand, the standpatters ar_-
spending all kinds of sums in newspaper, billboard, and street
ca/ advertising in an effort to stop the tide against them. And
yet, they want some people to believe that they arc not afraid
of the progressive candidates.
