Tammany's Impeachment.
No one doubts Sulzer when ho
says:
Murphy controlled the assembly and
ordered tho Impeachment. Ho controlled
most of the members of the court and
dictated the procedure and wrote the
Judgment He waa tho Judge and Jury,
the prosecutor and tho bailiff.
Will the people of tho Empire
state, having1 tho opportunity to re
move the Tammany boss from power,
exorciso it and thus complete a work
of political renovation, tho latter
part of which Is Incomparably more
Important than tho former? Or will
they contlnuo to let this oldest and
most arrogant of political trusts
dominato thorn?
Suiter may bo right also In pro
nouncing his Impeachment trial a
farce, whether he la or not in call
ing it "a political lynching," at
which he received less considera
tion than accorded a horso thief in
tho frontier days. Ho certainly is
correct, though, in saying that his
conviction is "tho consummation of
a deep-laid political conspiracy to
oust mo from office." His paraphrase
of Wolsoloy, "Had I but served tho
boss with half the seal I did the
state, William Sulzer would never
have boon impeached," 1b only a dra
matic effort at making a martyr of
himself, but It all eorves to impress
tho fact that ho is out bocauso he
refused longer to servo tho man and
tho powors that aro in. Thoro In,
as ho Bays, a higher court than Tam
many, tho court of public opinion.
and it is to bo hoped that that court
will ovlct Tammany from tho cltadol
along with Sulzer.

that he is wearing a silk hat, popu

familiar felt slouch used to be. Wo
observe that tho tllo is tilted almost
at the angto that the soft hat used to
bit, and that "Dick" looks by no
means comfortable trying to balance
it on his hetd. But there he stands
long enough at any rate for the snap
shot to efttch him, and mora than
likely he posed for it for borne con

Ths fenate and Hetch Hetcfcy.

purposes.

Twice Told Tales
Roosevelt Waa Shoekrd.
This la tho verbatim report of a recent
conversation between Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt and one of his warmest ad
mirers. The admirer Is a newspaper man
who has reported some hundreds of the
colonel's speeches. They were in mild
and harmless talk the other day, when
the newspaper man felt an Impulse for
candor burning within him.
"Do you know, colonel," said he, "I i
have often found a great similarity be
tween you and Colonel Bryant"
The .Roosevelt teeth snapped within an
inch of his Jugular.
"In what way?" the colonel demanded,
angrily. "What do you mean7"
The newspaper man became panicky.
He felt around for words.
"Ah," he said, Tn the way you er
manage your audiences, you know, Sort
of light and shade, you know humor and
or alncerlty and er-alt that sort of
thing."
Colonel Roosevelt's teeth clicked Again.
"You are a miserable Judge of men,"
said He.
Then tha conversation came to a com
plete and hopeless end.
Case' for the Conrt.
The conversation In tho lobby of a
Washington hotel turned to the great
game of litigation and the bank roll re
quired to properly play It, when Con
gressman Dan V. fltevens of Nebraska
recalled an Incident that occurred In the
office of a western lawyer.
One day a man entered the office of
the lawyer, said 'that ho had had a dis
pute with a neighbor over tho shooting
ot a dog and wanted the matter headed
for court.
The lawyer listened to the details of
the case, which did not look very promis
ing, and then thoughtfully pondered.
"Look here,' Mr. Smith," he finally re
marked to the would-bo client. "I don't
think It would pay either you or me to
carry this case to any length. Don't you
think that It could be settled out of
eourtr ,
"Oh, yes," was the prompt rejoinder of
Mr. Bmlth. "As a matter of fact, I
suggested It"
"I see," musingly responded the law
yer. "The objection comes from the
other side."
"Yes," said the client, Just a little
regretfully, "the bloomin' yap won't
fight." Washington Post.

OMAHA, October 19. To the Editor of
The Bee: Referring to a criticism of
Dr. Howard A. Kelly's assertion that
cities which wipe out their segregation
districts should be able to check the
spread through the resident districts,
should tt not be borne In mind that Dr.
Kelly predicates the statement on the
efficiency and faithfulness of the city's
executive and police officials? He is but
expressing the growing belief that such
a thing can b done In any city that
really makes an earnest, efficient effort.
It surely will not be argUed by those" con
versant with tho facts that such an effort
has ever been made In Omaha. Wo may
as well be candid about that. Bpasmodlo
"raids" and "cleanups" are not to be so
classed, especially when favored offend
ers are "tipped off beforehand. But the
point which I wish Dr. Kelly had cleared
up for us Is thlsl What is to be dono
after the "district" Is closed and the rest
oH the city emptied of the undesirables?
Aro they to be dumped over Into the next
city, as one might toes his sarbago into
his neighbor's lotT The answer probably
would be that each city in turn must
adopt the some cleanup method, but that
still leaves something to be said for the
ultimate solution. Truth Is, wo all seem
to be In the kindergarten of this treat

Bank and Cnrrensnr
BROKEN BOW, Neb., Oct. 18.-TO the
Editor of The Bee: I am sorry to see
the position token by national banks in
the threat to retire their circulation. If
they carry this threat into action it
means to retire 170,000,000. There is only
ono way out. Let Mr. Wilson ask con
gresa to repeal the law of 10 per cent tax
on state bank circulation and oblige every
bank that asks for the deposits of the
people to invest one-half or per cent
of their capital in United States state and
county bonds. This CO per cent of bonda
to be deposited with the government and
full face In circulation bo Issued to them.
No tax to bo laid on circulation, they
to be mado to keep It out
Tho national bank system was a war
measure and those who put it out never
dreamed It would ask new life at such
an expense to the nation. They have been
spoiled, as It were, and no doubt think
they can not be molested. It Is a good
system. It has made big money for those
who Invested in bonds at cents to 73
cents on the tt, bearing 10 per cent and
then getting circulation and loaning it at
from W to Z per cent a month. I refer
to the first twenty years of its existence.
The time has como for u change. The
danger Is the present bill goes very near
wild-cat banking.

THE THUMBED COLLAR.
E. A. Guest In Detroit Frca Press.
"Go up and chango your collar," mother!
often says to me. , .
"For you can't go out In that one, it's
as dirty as can be.
There are splotches on the surface wherd
they very plainly show."
'That is very queer,'1 I answer, "It was
Clean an hour mm."
But I guess Just what lias happened
and. In this It's clearly summed. .
Ho who lets a baby love him often getsl
his collar thumbed.
I have gone downtown o' mornings thtnk-1
lnjr I was clean and neat
And have had some kind friend stop
me ae I walked along the street !
With the startling Information that ij
wore a collar soiled.
As he saw the prints and traces where
those little' thumbs had toiled: .
And I've mode this explanation It's aj
song I long have hummed
He who loves a little baby often grstd
his collar thumbed.
And I'm rather proud I reckon to havd
people here alludo
To the prints upon my collars; they're!
my badzo of servitude,.
They're the proudest murks I carry, andl
1 really dread the day
When there'll be no sticky fingers, wheni
I start to ko away,
To reach up and soil my neckwear, and!
my heart sometimes Is numbed
When I think tha day Is coming when
my collars won't ba thumbed.
