The U and Order society has con

kepers. aad 15 are under indictment
and still sntriel. All of these cases
are the result cf the private prosecu
tion of the society. I doubt if the
police buresa can point to a single con
viction within the same time. Oa the
other hand, the police have deliberately
related their assistance to the society's
ajrents: they have time and again re
f iked to allow them the use of the
patrol wagons for the convejsnce of
prisoners; and not Infrequently the
patroleea have jeered the society's
detectives and cons tables executing
warrants. Furthermore. policemen
hat been found ia tptak-easles at
the tins of the raids, and In one case
a police liectenact was found in one
of the feouss raided drinking beer with
the proprieueea. The same statements
apply to the society's eSorts to sup
press th social evil and to show that
the politicians ia power protect the
keepers of di reputable houses.
The secretary of the society charged
la open court that such places were
protected by politicians and city o3
claia. lie was challenged to prove this
charge. While he is still engaged in
this task, he has already procured an
abundance of evidence to substantiate
it. He has brought out under oath the
zses of a select councilman, a police
sergeant, and other Sciala and poli
ticians said to be Influential la protect
ing places of evil resort. Another se
lect councilman went bail for one of
the wemea arretted and requested that
his name be sj; pressed, as he "went
her bail as a msttr cf politics."
Other omce-hclders have similarly
served as security for accused women,

the Law and Order society could not
exist for a day were Mayor Ashbridge
and his police to do their duty. The
leaven of corruption has an opportun
ity to work only because the authori
ties make . no serious attempt to In
terfere." Unquestionably the most flagrant
abuse of the police power was the per
sonal attempt of Director of Public
Safety English to silence the "Korta
American," a paper owned by John
Wanamaker's son, Thomas B. Wana
maker. which was then and is now an
unsparing critic of the administration.
Director English, with the chief of the
bureau of property (he of the 100 per
cent average), visited Mr. John Wana
maker's private office, and told him
that unless the attacks of the North
American ceased, information con
cerning him, and which had been col
lected during the preceding eight
months by the police, would be given
to the public Mr. Wanamaker treated
this eflort to blackmail him in silence
as it deserved," and at once gave to
the public all the details of the inter
view, which he had had taken down
by his stenographer. The Indignation
of the public was intense. A great
mass meeting was held, at which this
high-handed abuse of the police power
was denounced. The director made no
defense except that he was tired of
being denounced, and in this the mayor
backed hrm np and retained him in
office. I doubt if the annals of any city
can furnish another equally glaring
example of the use of public official
power to throttle public newspaper
criticism and to blackmail a private
citlzen.
A goodly portion of this article could
be devoted to election frauds and
crimes against the ballot box, and the
Interference of police In primary and
general elections. Not since the early
seventies has there been such flagrant
conduct on the part of the police. Last
winter the Municipal league published
a little leaflet setting forth the details
of a number cf typical Instances of the
brutality of the police at the November
election and the preceding September
primaries. Not counting the men in
Jail serving sentences for election
frauds and those who are fugitives
from Justice, there are aearly five hun
dred election officers under indictment
and awaiting trial. Indeed, a separate
article could be devoted to the subject
of election frauds during the present
administration.
In 1500 councils passed the Keystone
telephone ordinance, giving to a cor
poration composed of the mayor's
friends valuable privileges estimated
to be worth at least five million dollars,
without compensation to the city and
with no restrictions, aad without pro
tection to the city's Interests. The
Trades league and the Municipal league
protested against the ordinance to
councils and to the mayor, pointing
out Its defects and the utter lack of
safeguards, but to no avail. The
mayor left the chamber where he had
perfunctorily listened to arguments
against the ordinance by prominent
citizens, and retired to his private of
fice, where he almost immediately
signed the ordinance after he had con
sulted with several of the more in
fluential politicians.
The msyor's conduct on this occa
sion, however, was cordial and public
spirited compared with his conduct in
connection with the recent street rail
way franchises. Readers of the Out
look will recall that the Focht and
Emery bills were introduced into the
Pennsylvania legislature on May 29,
and were approved by the governor on
June 7. without a publi: hearing of any
kind at any stage of the proceedings.
The ordinances introduced under these
bills were "Jammed through" Phila
delphia councils even more rapidly.
The mayor, whose private secretary
had positively announced that the or
dinances would not be approved on
June 13. on that day hastened back
from th ceremonies incident to the
opening of the new United States mint,
and signed every one of the fourteen
bills without a hearing, without a con
sultation with a single bureau chief,
and in the face of John Wanamaker's
oiler to pay the city $2,500,000 for the
same privileges which were given to
the mayor's friends for nothing.
Further comment of mine is unnec-
essary. The recora i nave nere Drieny
outlined epeaks for itself. It win come
before the yoters of Philadelphia this
autumn for ratification or rejection.
The republican ticket stands for Ash-
bridge and his record. He dictated it;
he used his power to nominate it, and
he proposes to use every resource at
his disposal to elect it. He rejected
those who, like District Attorney
Rothermel. were not subservient to his
will and his wishes. He has replaced
those unwilling to wear his collar by
those whose subserviency will stand
the strong test to which be will sub
ject It.
Th people of Philadelphia are
aroused, and if an honest and untram
meled vote were to be tsken tomorrow,
I am assued that It would be over
whelmingly against A3bbridge and his
record. The task of the Municipal
league and its allies in the present
fight Is to secure an honest and un
trammeled vote.
Ulnlstirial Anarchists
In the excitement of the last two
weeks there have beeen none who have
proved to be more unsafe advisers
than some of the preachers. They may
be all right in the field of creeds
and theologies, but In government, if
their adrlce were followed, we would
soon be swamped in anarchy. The
advlc of Rev. T. De Witt Talmage
was as follows:
"I wish that policemen In Buffalo
who seized the pistol of the scoundrel
who shot our adored president had
taken the butt of the weapon and
dashed the man's brains out on the
poL"
Rev. Dr. Naylor of Washington said:
"If I had beea In Buffalo I would
have blown tho scoundrel to atoms."
The only word of law and order
that cam from any prominent min
uter were tittered by Dr. C. C. Hall of
New York, who said: To turn the as
sassin over to be torn to pieces by
popular fury "would be to descend to
the level of the attroclous deed."
It will be well for all those who have
been advocating lynching and wild
schemes of bloody revenge to read the
calm words of the statesman and real
friend of law, order t.nd good govern
ment ottered by W. J. Bryan. He said:
Tht line between peaceful agita
tion and violence Is clear and distlact.
Let no one imagine that he can im
prove social or political conditions by
the shedding of blood. Free govern
ments may be overthrown, but they
cannot be reformed by those who vio
late the commandment, Thou shalt.
not kill.' Under a government like
ours every wrong can be remedied by
law, and the laws are in the hands
of the people themselves. Anarchy
can be neither excused nor tolerated.
The man who proposes to right a pub
lic wrong by taking the life of a hu
man being makes himself an outlaw,
and cannot consistently appeal to the
protection of the government which he
repudiates. He Invites a return to a
state of barbarism, in which each one
must, at his own risk, defend his own
rights and revenge his own wrongs."
The World Cries "Shame!"
The action of the Virginia constitu
tional convention in striking from the
bill of rights "freedom of speech," is
causing the finger of scorn to be
pointed at her both in this country and
in England. Sharp criticisms can be
found even in some republican papers.
The New York World in commenting
on the action says:
"Virginia's constitutional convention
did a foolish and a dangerous thing
when it voted to amend the state's bill
of rights by omitting the guarantee of
"liberty of the press and freedom of
speech.'
"Wiiat is the grand old state of
Washington, Jefferson, Marshall, Pat
rick Henry and Madison thinking
about? Has she forgotten all her most
glorious traditions and is she going
to prove unfaithful to the teachings
of all her great sons who helped to
frame the constitution, in which even
congress is expressly prohibited from
making any law 'abridging the free
dom of speech or of the press?'
"Let Virginia stop and reflect that
she once lived under a Governor Ma
hone. Suppose another such man
should find himself in her governor's
chair under a constitution giving no
guarantee of free speech or printing?
WThat then?
"It is perfectly possible for law or
public opinion to prevent and to pun
ish the unpardonable lapses from lib
erty to license in speech or in the
press, and especially to inflict the
severest penalties for incitement to
murder or anarchy. But the just ex
asperation of the people at these ex
cesses must not tempt them to revoke
their national and chartered rights as
free men under a free government."
Hard Srtuggles
The power of the corporations is so
great that it takes almost super-human
struggles to wrest any of their special
privileges from them. They command
the services of the most skilled law
yers in every part of the country and
endless litigation is instituted to pre
vent the people from regaining their
rights everywhere. At the special elec
tion held in Denver August 28 the
property-holders of that city by a vote
of 6,284 to 1,267, fo the second time,
approved a bond issue for the pur
pose of buying the city water plant.
The amount is $2,000,000. The com
pany's revenues amounted to about
$39,000 a month, and the net profits
of the city, under the present schedule
of rates, are placed at $13,000 a month,
or $156,000 a year, besides furnishing
free water for fire hydrants.
A vote of five to one by the people
is not sufficient against a great cor
poration. The old vote was practically
the same, but the water company suc
ceeded In putting a veto upon it, by ap
peals to the courts and finally to Wall
street to prevent the sale of the bonds.
It should be remembered that no great
industrial enterprise can be entered
into in these days without the consent
of Wall street if it requires any great
amount of capital. That gang of high
waymen will refuse to list securities
and prevent the sale of bonds if it is
not to their liking The great struggle
that Senator Clark is making will
prove whether it is possible for a
railroad to be built anywhere in the
United States against the wishes of
Rockefeller and his gang of financial
highwaymen.

A Cure For Anarchy
About the most .practical cure for
anarchy we have heard suggested
comes from the Inventive brain of
County Clerk Blrss. He suggests that
Inasmuch as the anarchists advocate
the abrogation of all government and
that every person be permitted to do
absolutely as he pleases, without any
restraint, whatever, our laws should
be modified so as to administer to them
a dose of their own medicine.
Let it be made lawful for any per
son to do just as he pleases with an
anarchist or an anarchist's property,
and the world will not long be trou
bled with them. Authorize any per
son who chooses to shoot an anarchist
on sight or to break his thick skull
with a club, and appropriate any prop
erty he may have, and in three days
you couldn't find an anarchist on the
face of the earth.
Even the assassin of President Mc-
Klnley was fain to beg the protection
of the officers of that same govern
ment which he professed to want to
destroy.
Sometimes the surest way to cure a
fool is to give him the opportunity to
test the effect of his own foolishness.

Prayers to Order V
Much has been said in the press dur
ing the late few months upon the sub
ject of praying. As far as this writer
is concerned he has never had much
faith in the effacy of prayers made in
conformance with orders from gov
ernors and presidents. "Prayer is the
soul's sincere desire, uttered or unex
pressed." A request . from . the min
isters of the gospel lor devout persons
to assemble on a specified day to offer
prayers would be much more in con
formance , with the eternal fitness of
things than orders issued by a gov
ernor, especially when that governor
had no faith in prayer at all. Last
Sunday Rev. Mr. Marsh, one of Lin
coln's most distinguished clergymen,
preached 'a sermon . on prayer from
which the following extracts are made:
"It is the way of spiritual growth,"
said he, "and far more than we know
does It overpower and put out of the
way, for a time at least, the confusion
of passions and the complexities of
duty and the pressing cares of affairs.
To leave these all for a time and with
seriously quiet manner lift one's
thoughts and turn one's spirit to the
unseen and the eternal is to bring life
for a moment into the calmness and
serenity and Serious good will of the
divine. To establish the habit of doing
this is well worth while in its influence
upon personal and family life. To draw
people to unite in companies for this
is a quickening, uplifting and unify
ing influence."
"I have little faith in the scientific
theories of our townsman who thinks
he can produce rain by bombarding the
heavens with gunpowder, but I be
lieve he is more in line with the cause
and conditions of rain-producing than
they who would bombard the heavens
with prayers, hoping to bring moisture
to the ground. Experimenting with
the physical forces of the earth is more
likely to reach the result than experi
menting with the spiritual mysteries of
the human soul and its psychic envir
onments." -
