The candidates have vied with each other in promising to give things to the public. To the philosophic and not overly-serious observer there is an element of the ludicrous in the new passion for municipalization as exemplified in the tripartite metropolitan ap- peal. Tammany’s proposition appears to be to give the city over to itself as fast and as far as it may seem to be advisable —which is a very fair and reasonable thing for Tammany todo. Mr. Hearst would give the city to the people pell-mell, and throw in the North and the East Rivers and the Bay and the L and the tunnels and gas and the at- mosphere and portions of Long Island. “ Everybody would own everything and no- body nothin’,”” is a succinct summary of his propaganda as evolved by an East Side states man. Mr. Ivins has drawn the distinction between his programme and Hearst’s that he will give the city everything it should have in time, while the multiple-editor’s promises require eternity for fulfillment. Meanwhile, the Dunne régime in Chicago falls steadily in arrears on its promises, and sober citizens, whose feet are still on the earth, know very well that Tammany’s exploitation of the people’s affairs has led to this remarkable outburst of radicalism. Perhaps, when the ownership frenzy abates, we shall return to the old doctrine that government is for the pur- pose of justice and not plunder, and good, old-fashioned honesty in public officials the only short cut to municipal happiness. R. SHONTS is taking hold and helping cut in Panama. He is cutting salaries all along the line. BUFFALO COURT decides a husband can keep a rat-trap in his pocket if he wants to, to catch his wife when she is trying to earn an honest dime. Slowly woman is losing her privileges. THE LESSON OF THE PRESENT WORLD-PEACE. AS THE old earth swings along toward the zone of Thanksgiving and Christmas cheer, it is pleasant to reflect that a world-wide peace has followed close on the heels of one of the greatest wars of history. And the mere absence of hostilities is not the chief source of gratitude. It is the spirit and method of ending one war and averting another that must stand forth as the shining achievement of the age. Norway and Sweden have separated in peace, and Russia and Japan have ended a war at full tide because men are growing more rea- sonable and arbitration is getting the upper hand of battle. Hitherto nations, like indi- viduals, at the first sign of a row, have pulled gun, in spite of the fact that reason has been always the ultimate and only arbiter. Now it is dawning upon the world that, since dif- ferences must soon or late be settled in the court of reason, war is so much preliminary delay and waste. Military aggrandizement goes on, the heroics of the battle-field are still Sung, and war is the supreme court of nations. And yet the times are full of a mental and moral revolt from the idea of war. The man who pulls a gun in a personal dispute is outlawed, and the gun-play of nations must soon be classed with the other outworn savageries which once controlled the world. The par- liament of man is no longer a poet’s dream, but a growing reality among the empires of the earth, and the warrior and his gun may one day be only a relic fur the museums. ‘of stamps to the full amount of postage ts also required, to A DOZEN RAKES have been shipped to the president. Farmer Roose- velt getting ready to give a lot of senators a raking over? THE ARGONAUT, in Mr. Hearst’s home town, says, ‘* With Congress- man Hearst it is not an itch for office, but an acute eczema.” What mean things they say in a fellow’s old home town! [T HAS been very difficult to hire a band in Gotham for the past few weeks. We needed a band on several occasions to escort us ’round town, but they were all busy tooting for Brother Hearst. THE MAN-ANGEL VS. THE GIRL-ANGEL. ‘CULPTOR BORGLUM, whose female angels had to give way to angels of the male persuasion in the church of St. John the Divine, New York, has raised a problem which will not down. The anonymous gentleman in side-whiskers who pointed out in the first instance that Mr. Borglum had misconceived the sex of the angelic family has discreetly re- moved himself from the foreground of the dis- pute. This is well. It was the only safe course. Though his point was technically well taken, it cannot remain the established view that the typ- ical angel is a man. It is impossible, first, be-. cause the women wouldn’t stand for such a rul- ing, and second, because the men folks would hardly be happy in that conclusion. We take it that in the present state of woman suffrage the women, smarting under man-imposed limitations, would be slow to yield any part of that celestial superiority which is symbolically portrayed by wings. On the other hand, the man-angel is a survival of the rough, coarse times when the whiskered folks claimed everything wurth while. To-day men are more gallant, as well as more frankly honest. Every man knows he is not an angel, and has only dim prospects of becoming one. But what man does not know that woman, lovely woman, is the perpetual recruiting-ground of the winged and loving throng who gild and glorify the world? The man-angel is all right to give balance to the celestial scheme; but it’s the woman-angel every time that commands the tender regard of mankind. SFE THAT Uncle Sam has paid out $3,050,000 more on account of the Philippines. It’s for the friar lands. If it keeps on we will own those islands yet. ae I" IS rather singular that the brothers, Professors John M. and Henry M. Tyler, should take such opposite views of the college-girl. The former declares she is degenerating; the latter retorts that she is in finer form than ever before. We think this opinion is entitled to precedence, seeing that it comes from the dean of a girls’ college. eee PUBLISHER in Paris will supply fame to all who desire it. Vague no- toriety for one month will cost $400, annual reputation can be had for $1,000, and a year’s celebrity for $2,400. Literary glory for twelve years is quoted at $10,000. Sandwich-board men, sky signs, artificial scandals, and many other unique publicity schemes constitute the modus operandi. eee FOLLOWING verse won a girl a husband: “ Ho, ye farmers! Hearken, hearken! Wouldst a thrifty helpmeet woo? Listen, then, for here’s a maiden you may win if you will sue. She is fair and bright and ruddy, like a rose in summer time; She has known full thirty summers, but her charms are in their prime. She has virtues rare and many, she has graces rich and sweet; ‘And you ne’er would want another once this maiden you should meet.”” Poetry is looking up again. comicbooks.com
