The CHARLES F. MURPHY, of Tammany
Hall, New York, continues to follow the
example of A. MITCHELL PALMER, GEO.
W. GUTHRIE and VANCE MCCORMICK,
when they stole the Democratic organiza-
tion of Pennsylvania, two years ago. It
was as perfidious a crime as ever was
perpetrated. It involved all the turpitude
of any other form of robbery, supple-
mented by conspiracy. But they refused
to go into court to test their title, just
| as MURPHY refuses to submit the ques-
tion of Lieutenant Governor FLYNN'S
right to exercise the prerogatives of
Governor. They coveted power, as
MURPHY vearns for control, and they
could see no other means of attaining
their hopes. So they stole the organiza-
tion and raised the cry of “stop thief” to
| avoid pursuit and just punishment.
The validity of their claim was es-
| sentially a legal question just as that of
the title to the office of Governor of New
York at this time is purely a matter of
| judicial interpretation. In both instances
: an appeal to the courts was not only the
| just method of procedure, but it was the
! only course which could possibly suggest
| itself to fair minds of honest men. But

STATE RIGHTS AN
Equal Opportunity in Banking.
| The Democratic majority in the House
of Representatives in Washington has
wisely decided against changes in the
pending currency bill suggested by the
Bankers association, recently in conven-
tion in Chicago. Possibly some of the
suggestions may have been meritorious
and certainly they were all offered with
the best intentions in the world. But it
is bad policy to let the bankers write the
currency laws as it is dangerous to allow
the manufacturers or the importers to
write the tariff laws. Men are very much
alike and selfishness is a forceful ele-
ment in nature. If burglars were allow-
ed to write the laws against burglary, the
burglar’s life would become a source of
joy forever.
The pending currency bill may not be
perfect but it is the product of profound
thought and pure patriotism. President
WiLsoN has no selfish interests to sub-
serve in the legislation he recommends.
He is influenced entirely by a desire to
serve the public efficiently. Besides he
is a man of splendid ability and earnest-
ness. The science of government has
been a subject of life study with him and
he is a master of political economy.
Such a man doesn’t have to be a banker
to understand the currency needs of the
country. As a matter of fact, being a’
banker by profession might impair his

Thaw and the Thaw Millions.
Referring to the case of HARRY THAW
the New York World of Sunday elaborates |
an idea expressed in these columns last
week. “THAW as THAW,” observes our
esteemed contemporary, “would receive
little attention in the metropolis, but
THAW personifying a great fortune de-
voted to lawlessness becomes an object
of prime importance. It is not THAW, it
is the THAW money that compels notice.
The money thus used cannot be ignored.
The creature in whose behalf itis used
may interest some people, but in the main
he is of no consequence. For several
years past the question involved in this
controversy has been whether the THAW
money was more powerful than the State
of New York.”
For some years before his murderous
attack upon STANFORD WHITE this mil-
lionaire degenerate paraded through the
red-light regions of the principle cities of
Europe and America indulging his
beastial passions to the limit. Finally
his career along these lines ended in a
brutal and cowardly homicide from the
just and proper punishment of which he
escaped by the corrupt use of the THAW
' millions and the false pretense of in-
sanity. Now the THAW millions are
again brought into view in an attempt

Paying the Cost of War.
From the New York Commercial.
Industrial depression is almost inev-
‘ itably the aftermath of war. The with-
drawal of men from productive labor to
serve in the ranks and the waste of mon-
ey worse than burned up are always felt.
Even our little war with checked
business, and not only and, but all
Europe suffered when the war bills
were paid.
Italy wrested Tripoli from Turkey at
comparatively little expense in lives and
treasure, but thedisturbance of industries
in northern Italy, the most prosperous
and progressive part of the kingdom, has
resulted in so much misery that strikes
and riots have assumed dangerous pro-
portions. Agriculture was neglected
during the war and the cost of living has
risen, while manufacturers find trade de-
preseed and claim to be unable to pay
igher wages though the demands of the
united workers amount to only half a
cent an hour of added pay. Taxes are
higher all around, and the trouble has
been rendered more acute by keeping
conscripts with the colors through fear
of general war arising out of the Balkan
struggle and the dismemberment of Tur-
keel, which Italy virtually n.
talian manufacturers fi it hard to
finance their business operations on ac-
count of the general scarcity of money
and the high rates of interest. They have
stocks of unsold goods on hand and the
peopie are without means to buy. The
economic problems of the nation do not
differ materially from those of an indi-
vidual. If a man stops working at some
' gainful occupation and spends the money
he has sa in dissipation, in law suits,
in Juarraie or other wasteful ways he
suffers for it. So does the coun that
goes to war and neglects the arts of peace
for the time being. Moreover, both in-
jure their neighbors to some extent.
| The riots in Milan and other Italian
cities will be suppressed by military force,
but this will not put bread into the
mouths of the starving when the fac-
tories are shut down for lack of orders.
This proves that underconsumption, not
over production, is the trouble. Italy's
| production of wealth has been curtailed,
i have been accumulated. When
| mills shut down labor consumes less and
goods decreases. The
revival of trade has to n at the farm,
