PARTISANSHIP AND FAVORITISM.
lu hia deelaratioii of principled Judge Seabury, who is to be tiiu Demo¬ cratic candidate for Uoveriior, says "bu.sine.S3 methods shall take the place of partisanslilp and favoritism."
It is not necessary to question Judge Soabury's sincerity in order seriously to doubt the correctness of that state¬ ment. P'artisanship and favoritism have been the distinguishing charac¬ teristics of the state Administration whenever the Democraiic party has been In power.
Partisanship and favoritism cost the state millions of dollars in the canals during four years of Democratic Ad¬ ministration. One of the first acts of the present Republican state Ad¬ ministration was the •bolition ot un¬ necessary otflces and positions in con¬ nection with the barge canal work with a resultant saving of half a mill¬ ion dollars a year. Partisanship and favoritism led to the creation and fill¬ ing of such positions under preceding Democratic Administrations.
What partisanship and favoritism did to the state in connection with liighway building under Democratic Administration was a nation-wide scandal, (governor Suizer stated that he knew where ten million dollars had been criminally mi.sspent. Con¬ tractors. Democratic officials and Dem¬ ocratic politicians were the subject of grand jury investigation and proa ecution In all parts of the state.
Partisanship and favoritism under the Democratic Administration be¬ tween 1910 and 19U In the state pris¬ ons wrecked the entire prison system of the state.
Partisanship and favoritism per¬ meated every department of the state government during the Admin Istrations of Governors Dix, Sulzor and Glynn. Partisanship and favorit i.«m swelled the payrolls. Public business was neglected. Conditions were created so nauseating to the people of the state that the Demo cratic party was voted out of power two years ago by an onorniou.s ma jnrlty and the work of doing what Judge Seabury says he would like tc do was entrusted to the Republican party.
"rtle present state Administration has progressed the work as possible. It has put an end to the contract scandals, paid off the state's uccum- ulation of bills, cleared up an enor mous amount of business accumulated during four years of Democratic neglect and discharged hundreds of unnecessary partisan favorites from the public payroll.
The Republican party is a far bet ter agency to do wliat Judge Se.ibury says he would like to do than Judge Seaibury ever can hope to be as the candidate of the party responsible foi tho scandalous interregnum belween 1910 and lOir..
WOULD MURPHY BOSS SEABURY?
Shortly bet'dre tlie Deiiiorratie con¬ ference at Saratoga, an up-state Democrat writing from KImira to tlie Xew York World concluded his let ter with these questions:
"If Seabury is nominated, will it be through tiie background nianoeuvering of .Murphy?
"If Saiibury is nominated, will Murphy finance and run his cam puign?
"If he i!» elected, will Murphy dic¬ tate lii.-i appointments, or will he throw him out as he threw out Sul rer?
"Does Seabury moan Seabury or does it mean Murphy?"
Everybody knows that Tammnny Hall's representatives at tlie Sara¬ toga conference offered no opiiosltlon to Judge Seabury. Tammany's oppo¬ sition would have been fatal to Judge Seabury's chances. It Is safe to as¬ sume therefore that the Judge was acceptable to Mr. Murphy or he would have encountered that opposition.
Tammany will furnish the bulk of the funds for the Seabury campaigr and cast a targe majority ot the Sea bury votes.
Will Murphy dictate his appoint tnMrtH? Not If Judge SoabunTihoul' beat MurtJhy to it In selact'n M"_-j:^t <ir?oln'e»>5.
—Carter in New York Evening Sun. i
Will Murphy throw him out as he
threw out Suizer? Not necessarily; ' he did not throw out Dix or Glynn, i
Does Seabury mean Seabury or does : it mean Murphy?
A study of the Administration of the only three Democratic governors since Mr. Murphy attained hla pres¬ ent position of prominence In tho | councils of the Democratic party will show that he bulks big In the per-1 formance of all of them And the! past furnishes the best possible Index j of the future. I
tUITOKIAL COMMENT.
Democratic Congressmen would bury extravagance of the "pork bar¬ rel" variety under «the enormous ex-i penditiires for preparedness. The! Republicans are quick to expose such methods.—Jamestown Post.
Hughes is getting to the people. And, In consequence, the people are growing more eager for the day to come when frhey can get at Wilson.— Owego Times.
Pointed Paragraphs From Speech of A:ceptance of Charles E. Hughes [
It is apparent that we are •hockingly unprepared.
When we contemplate Indus¬ trial and commercial conditions, we see that we are living In a fool's paradise.
Not only have we a host of resources short of war by which to enforce our just demands, but we shall never promote our peace by being stronger in words than in deeds.
We are neither deceived nor benumbed by abnormal ' condi¬ tions. We know that we are in a critical period, perhaps more critical than any period since the Civil War.
As to present industrial conditions, we have a good illustration right here at home: there ia a certain factory In Richmond Hill with which business baa never been belter, for whose goods there has never been so great a demand as now. "Why is this?" asked the writer of the chief owner of the factory. ' Because," waa the reply, "all our European competition has been cut off by the war, and we literally cannot make goods enough to supply the demand." "But what will happea when the war ends?" was asked. "We must be protected in some way or we sliall be flooded with goods made by cheap labor abroad," was the reply.—Richmond Hill Record.
IT COILDNT BE DONE
Somebody said It couldn't be done. But he, with a chuckle, replied: That "maybe It couldn't, but he would be one Who woulrtn't say so till he tried. So he buckled right in with a trace of of a gri;i On hiS face. If he worried, he hid it. He stalled to slug as he tackled the thing That couldn't be done, and he did it.
Somebody Bcoffed: "Oh, you'll never do that; At least no one ever has done it." But he took off his coat, and took off his hat, And the first thing we knew he'd b'igun it; With a lift of his chin, and a bit of a grin. Without any doubting or quit it. He startf.d to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn't be done, and be did it.
There are thousands that tell you it cannot l>e done. There arc thousands to prophesy failure; There are thoii.sands to point out to you, on3 by one. The dangns that wait to as.-ail you; But just bucl.ie in with a bit of a c.in. Then take off your coat and po to it; Just start in to sing as you tackle the thing That "cannot be done", and you'll do it.
MtfTlCAL ADTfefctlSWG
Judge Seabury has been In recep¬ tive mood when Democratic nomina¬ tions were being mad«- He waa studiously receptive when Mr. Murphy was selecting a mayoralty candidate three years ago, and aggressively re¬ ceptive upon the two occasions when he was candidate for the Court of Appeals. But like his friend and pa¬ tron. Mr. Hearst, he prefers to make the Democrats come to him by operat¬ ing on the outside. He gets Demo¬ cratic nominations by the unusual but highly successful process of being anything but a Democrat.—Syracua* Post Standard.
The Administration utterly failed to perform its obvious du¬ ty to secure protection for the lives and property of our citi¬ zens. It is most unworthy to slur those who have investments in Mexico in order to escape a condemnation for the non-per¬ formance of this duty.
"Social justice" says Justice Sea¬ bury, "exists where government se¬ cures to all men and women equality of opportunity and leaves them in other respects free so that their in¬ dividual growth may not be interfered with and that all may reap the nor¬ mal consequences of their own con- duet provided they do not interfere with the equal rights of others." Which makes it clear that as long a.s President Wilson is the candidate for President, Justice Seabury should be the candidate for Governor, for why should a Gubernatorial candidate be less misty in his rhetoric than a Pres¬ idential candidate?"—Brooklyn Times.
Worth While Quotation. The heiirt Is alwiiys hungry. No ncm ilve.-^ hiiliplly (iloiie. Tlu' wisest iuel I be best Is wiser and better 'Or ttu riieiiils he hasj.—Selectc'l.
It Is only through internation¬ al co-operation giving a reason¬ able assurance of peace that we
'i may hope for the limitation of
X ermaments.
We have determined to cut out, roct and branch, monopolis¬ tic practices, but we can do this without hobbling enterprise or narrowing the scope of legi¬ timate achievement.
We demand a simple business¬ like budget.
I believe it is only throuqh a responsible budget, proposed by the executive, that we shall •void financial waste.
We have had brave words In a series of notes, but despite our protests the lives of Ameri- S cans have been destroyed.

Alice in Telephoneland
No.lOOFASERIESlNWHICH ALICE LEARNS WHAT UNI¬ VERSAL SERVICE MEANSAND CARRIES AN INVITATION TO THE PUBLIC.
ALICE liad not ex- L\ iict\y finished her trip tlirou^nTele- phonelanJ, for it would take a long, long time to do that, and even then, by the tkne she had completed the trip, so many changes would have been made in the system that she might have to begin all over again. But she had seen enough to realize that this business of furnish¬ ing telephone service was a great big job.
The telephone man tried to give Alice an idea of
the telephone system s immensity at the con¬ clusion of her trip. "Just look at this," he said, pointing to a huge dot-covered map on the wall of his office." Every one of these dots repre¬ sents a city, town or vil¬ lage reached by the Bell System. If you counted these dots you d hnd that there are over 70,- 000. In this big system there are over 55,000 switchboards, 21,000,- 000 miles of wire and 12,500,000 poles. It's BIG — so big, in fact, that no one has ever seen all of it. It s opera¬ ted by an army of 150,- 000 employees, every¬ one of them working earnestly in the service of the public. I hat s why we d like you to tell your friends that we'd be glad to have them go through Tele¬ phoneland, too.
