EODT THE GRAFTERS
Elihu Root, now Secretary of
State in President Roosevelt's cab
inet, has written a letter to Mayor
Weaver of Philadelphia in which
he expresses the opinion that the
evidence in hand is ample to war
rant the prosecution of all those
concerned in the schemes to rob
the city. He says that Philadel
phia should be "relieved from the
strain which a corrupt and crimin
al combination, masquerading un
der the name of Republicans, have
put upon her." Mr. Root is rec
ognized as the leader of the New
York bar, and one of the ablest
lawyers ot the country. He is a
Republican and a close friend of
the President. He denounces the
Philadelphia gang of looters as a
"criminal combination" that should
be driven out of power, and advis
es the Mayor to proceed with prose
cutions against them.
Some thick and thin "organiza
tion" newspapers have been endeav
oring to belittle Mayor Weaver's
reform crusade by charging that it
is only a political scheme headed
by "that discredited Democrat
James Gay Gordon," the Mayor's
private counsel. Now that Secre
tary Root has spoken it will be
amusing to watch the attitude of
these same subservient sheets.
By a "corrupt and criminal com
, bination" Mr. Root can refer only
to Durham, McNichol, Lane and
their followers, who have l;en the
bead and front of the "organiza
tion" which while "masquerading
as Republicans" has owned Gover
nors and legislatures and dominated
the politics of the whole state.
Mr. Root's letter in brief means
simply "turn the rascals out" and
Mayor Weaver is going tp do it.

ALAS FOR UNCLE SAM.
We fear tlint that grand old gen
tleman, Uncle Samuel, U. S. A.,
has become infected with one of
those modern fevers that do no good
to anyone. In other words, he lias
at last consented to officially recog
nize the tipping habit, and thereby
he grieves some millions of his
nephews who had begun to hope
that the conscience and common
sense of the country were about to
rebel successfully at organized
piracy.
But now conies the naval depart
ment of the United States and in
an order regulating the expenses of
officers promulgates the following
tariff including tips, that the gov
ernment will pay :
Hotel bills of commissioned offi
cers not to exceed $5 a day.
Single meals $1 each ; tip 10
cents.
Tips on trains 50 cents a day.
Tips will not be allowed on par
lor cars, except on journey of five
hours or longer.
Tips at hotels 50 cents a day, but
not to exceed $2 a week at one
hotel.
A commissioned naval officer is
permitted to expend $3.50 a week
on tips in foreign hotels, St. so a
day on an ocean steamer during 6
days or less, and $1 a day for a 15
day trip or longer.
These are not excessive, as tips,
to be sure, but the pity is that the
department should recognize the
demands of the system of agreeing
to allow anything at all. If naval
officers want to help pay the
wages of waiters, porters and
stewards, they have that un
doubted privilege. We don't
see that the Uuited States the
people, if you will is in duty
bound to submit to the tribute of a
lot of quasi-black-mailers.

Tho Duke ol Wellington's Famous Waterloo
Speech Declared to be a Myth.
Somebody once asked the Duke
of Wellington if speeches on the
battlefield were really made as re
ported, and what was tlu-ir effect.
The Duke said: "What effect on
the whole army can be made by a
speech, since you cannot convenient
ly make it heard by more than 1,000
men standing about yon?"
Then the Duke was asked if it
were not the fact that Napoleon
delivered Fome rather notable ora
tions on the fi.'ld. The Duke would
not have it.
"The proclamations you read of
in the French army were much
more seen in the papers than by
the soldiers they were meant lor
Paris!"
It was allright, the Duke agreed,
to address a regiment upon present
ing it with colors and that sort of
thing. On the whole, French troops
might be more impressed by a
speech than the English, who in
the Duke's Waterloo army were,
he declared, "the scum of the earth,
who had all enlisted for drink."
The French, with their system of
conscription, had a fair sprinkling
of all classes.
"No" comments a writer, "all
these martial obiter dicta which
our histories treasure up for us
were lor the most part never spoken
at all The 'last words' of dvine
men and the speeches made on the
battlefield or the deck of an admiral's
flagship ate not to be regarded as
having been actually uttered. The
famous "Up. guards and at 'em!"
accredited to Wellington at Waterlco
was never spoken. Wellington
him self denied it. If it had been
said it would have been forgotten.
"What happened at Waterloo was
this: Wellington sent an orderly to
give certain instructions during the
battle to an English general, and
upon the galloper's return asked:
"Did you give General my
orders?" 'Yes your grace' was the
reply. 'And what did he say?' ,He
said he'd see your grace firs'-. '
The Duke swept the field with his
glass, then quietly muttered: By
, he's right, too!' "
A GANG OF TRAITORS.
The members of the last legisla
ture may read with profit the scath
ing rebuke administered to them
and their administration at the re
cent meeting of the State Bar asso
ciation at Bedford, Pa. In terse
terms they were styled a gang of
traitors who had violated their
oaths and who now instead of being
tree men should be under indict
ment for perjury. The manner in
which they bowed the head to the
will of political bosses instead of
carrying out the mandates of the
law m neglecting to provide for a
re-apportionment ot the districts of
the State and their absolute refusal
to consider the question of personal
registration, made them anything
but representatives of the people
and their service a disgrace to the
State. Creating new offices and en
larging the salaries of old ones were
the chief duties ot this last Legisla
ture, said the president of the Bar
association, and thisopinioii is shar
ed by a majority of the citizens of
the State who now look with ex
pectancy on the upheaval in Phila
delphia, from where it may spread
throughout the State until the rul
iug bosses have been cast adrift by
the force of public condemnation.

thoroughly dominated by trades
unions of all the large cities iti the
United States, and, perhaps, in the
world. As near as can be ascer

wage workers. Of these about
200,000 are members of , trades
unions.
SUPERIOR COURT.
Interesting Decisions Handod Down,
The Superior Couit held a short
session in Philadelphia last Thurs
day for the purpose of handing down
decisions and then adjourned until
the first Monday in October. The
list of decisions handed down was
exceptionally long and one of the
most important was embodied in an
opinion by Judge Orlady sustaining
the constitutionality of the Pure
Food law and affirming the deci
sion of the Quarter Sessions of Phila
delphia in the ca.se of Charles W.
Spencer, convicted of selling ham
burger steak containing illegal pre
servatives. Spencer was fined $50 and costs
after a long and bitterly-fought
trial in the lower court.
The Superior Court, in an opin
ion by Judge Porter, also decided
that selling cigars on Sunday does
not constitute a breach of the peace.
Addison Foster, ol Delaware county,
on the charge of repeatedly viola
ting the Sunday law of 1794 by
selling soft drinks and cigars a3
held by a local justice under bonds
to keep the peace. The Superior
Court discharges Mr. Foster. Judge
Porter pointed out that no disorder
was charged against Foster and said
the magistrate, under the circum
stances of this case, had 110 juris
diction to require Foster to enter
bail.
