The senator further Insists that Ula la but a second chapter of the cam paign of two years ago in which Mr. Bryaa and bla friends, finding that Uey could not dictate platform and oaadldata, bolted Ue ticket and pat Uemselrea oataldo tha party pale. Oa Ua face of the argument so far aa It baa gone. Senator Hitchcock seems to hare Ua better of It. but It la rotei, and not argument, that will count . Let tha merry war go ea. From Generalities to Particular. The dlaeuaaloa of Ue commission plaa of elty government extending over nearly a year baa beea so far la generalltlee. It must soon coma down to particulars. The advaaiagee claimed for the commission plaa bare beea pretty well exploited. Tba quea- tloa whether It was advisable to try the experiment was aettled laat fall. aad Ua decision affirmed by Ua ruling of tha supreme court that tba law la constitutional and valid. The local public baa also been tolerably well advised that to secure good gov ernment wo muet get good bob ta administer It; Uat what we Bead la "high claaa" city ofldala; Uat to gat Uam we must co-operate, and aot scatter, and Uat public spirited cltl sens owe It aa a dnty ta serve If called upon.

But wbaa confronted with 110 men, grading from good to bad and Indifferent, aad each with Ue notion that he baa a following. It la a practical problem Uat 1 preeeated. What auallficaUoBa ara we going to exact la tha eoa erete? What distinguished a "high. elaaa" maa from a "low claaa man? Most we go back to Ua realm of polities by considering ability to get votea as either a primary or a seo oadary prerequisite! Finally, mast Individual Judgment ba subordinated ta tka Judgment of soma oae aiaa? And, if so. to which soma one elae? It's easy to generalise, bat mighty difficult to pertlealarite.

This news paper article, which seems to bsve been rather well suppressed, waa obvious In Its purpose and may have had a good deal of influence.

The Broken Bail Qaeatioa. The recent wreck of a passenger train aa the result of a broken rail, baa attracted attention anew to Ue question of Inferior steel rails and tha matter ahould not be dropped until some satisfactory outcome la reached. The number of wrecks from defective rails Is steadily Increasing. In 102 there were seventy-eight de railments from this cause; in 1911 there were 241. Tet today the 112 pound rail Is In use on some roads and heavier onea oa all than were used ta 1102. The New York Cen tral's ralla are mostly of the 112 pound type. Twelve years sgo the OS-pound rail waa common, then came finally the 10-pound, and both were more reliable, railroad mea aay, than Ue 111- pound rail. Why? Because the 112- pound rail la made of cheaper stuff? Thla la Uo opinion of James J. Hill aad othera who have made a atudy of the question. The steel mea reply that Ue traffic demanda today are proportionately ao much greater for Ue heavier rail that Ue beat material Uat caa be put Into Uem will not be a guarantee against I accident. That sounds like a poor eienae. Rolling stock, of coarse. Is heavier and trains more numerous. condition resalUat from the natural growth of Uo railroad busi ness.
