DEMOCRACY'S DEATH BLOW?
The nomination of W. 11. Hearst by
the Democrats for governor of New
York seems as portentous of ills fast
crowding upon the Democratic party as
the nomination of Charles E. Hughes
Is pregnant with good to the Republic-
ans. The first thing that seems to be
as assured as anything mundane can
be is the election of the Republican
nominee. Mr. Hughes is a clean,
etrong man, an advocate of progressive
government, but not a professional re-
former, and he is backed by a united
party. Factional differences have
been reconciled and the Republican
party in the state and nation is dis-
tinctly strengthened by his nomination.
Bossism has been extirpated In the Re-
publican party In New York and ^he
best elements are In control.
But a Democratic defeat in New
York this fall is the smallest of the
liln that Mr. Hearst's nomination has
entailed upon the Democracy. In New
York the party Is split asunder beyond
the possibility of reconciliation. Worse
than that, ft 1* menaced with annihila-
tion. The Hearst anaconda threatens
Its existence In State and nation. The
Independence League bids fair to swal-
low the Democrat!'' national organiza-
tion just as It has captured and swal-
lowed the Democratic organization in
New York. The league peremptorily
refused to treat with the Democrats,
vnml so the Democrats had to come to
the league. In meekly accepting the
league's candidate as Its own, the Dem-
ocratic party In New York has virtually
surrendered Its Independence, and its
organization will he merely an auvl'
iary to the league. Democracy In
New York exists only in name. In ev-
ery essential respcct It has been ab-
sorbed by the Independence League.
That Mr. Hearst, the sole anjl only
owner of tho Independence League,
will employ the same tactics In na
tlonal politics in 1908 no one can doubt
who has watched his campaign meth-
ods of sensational publicity. Win or
lose in New York, his league will cei
tainly nominate him for the presidency
m 1908. And it is pretty certain that
the Democrats will not be able to bam-
boozle him as they did the Populists in
1890. At that time, when the Pop's
threatened to overshadow the Demo-
cratic party and take Its place as one
of the two great parties, the Democrats
were shrewd enough to see tho danger,
and they averted It by adopting the
Populists' principles and retaining
their Own name and organization. In
other words, they swallowed the Pops,
body and boots.
It Is very doubtful whether the Dem-
ocrats will be able to repeat that feat
In the case of the Independence League
In 1908. They will not have far to go
to adopt its principles, or rather its
only principle, government ownership.
Hearst and Bryan already Btand on
that platform, and Bryan may be able
to dictate his party's action as auto
cratlcally In 1908 as he did in 1900,
But Hearst is no Barkis. He will not
consent to anything that interferes
with his campaign of publicity, of ad
vertlslng himself. He is said to have
spent half of his father's estate of $20,
000,000 in getting his present notoriety
and it Is unreasonable to suppose that
he would quit when about to receive
the crowning advertisement of his ca
reer, to be nominated for the presi-
dency. He might be induced to ac-
cept a Democratic nomination for vice
president with Bryan at the head of
the ticket, on a government ownership
platform, for that would be a practical
victory for him over the Democrats,
who took his money and laughed at
him in 1904.
It is more likely, however, that Mr.
Hearst through the friendly medium
of his Independence League will nom-
inate himself for president, just as he
nominated himself for governor of New
York, and then bid for the support of
all the Democrats who believe in gov-
ernment ownership. This will either
take the wind out of Bryan's sails or
else force the Democrats to put a gov-
ernment ownership plank in their plat-
form in either event it will mean the
extinction of the Democratic party as
it xisted from Jefferson's day until
Bryan poisoned it with his populistic.
socialistic ideas.
terests of that idea of ' comfort which
means bearing the weight of volum
iuous folds that sag dejectedly from
shoulders and hips.
When it comes to trousers, the Mall
writer becomes deadly serious. "Since
tho Englishman will have leg wear cut
which with some regard to shape," he
observes, "and to fall over the boot
gracefully, the American must wear
pair of sacks—painfully creased,
painfully turned up at the bottom, and
bsurdly too long, so that they produce
around the ankles a bunch of cloth for
which no man has yet provided the ex-
planation." If an Americsa traveling
in England orders a suit or clothes of
a fashionable tailor, he finds himself
bedecked in trousers of such width and
so shapless that he feelB ashamed to
appear In them publicly. But this is
just what the Englishman terms
"fit." meaning thereby that a "fit" Is
tho remotest possible departage from
shapeliness. The American college
boy's "rah rahs" are certainly detes
table enough, but they are not affected
by the average American gentleman.
The Pall Mall Gazette cries out In
agony because "so few deep thinkers
have devoted their attention to the sub-
ject of male costume." The distress
of the Gazette is expressed In a will
a column long in which it is urged that
bur philosophers, publicists and states
men take a few weeks off and estab
lish an arbitrary codo of dressing to
which all men many conform. The
Mail deplores the soberness of man's
dress and would have a rehabilitation
of that gorgeous plumage of frills and
laces which was so picturesque in the
days when men did little but stand
about and take snuff or dance the
minute. But all this speculation and
advice will go for naught. Men will
dress as suits them and the masculine
idea of comfort will always remain the
mighty impluse that shall direct them
in their sartorial excursions.
overseer Voliva waited only a favor-
able opportunity to turn against liis
benefactor and throw hiin out. It
would be only retributive justice if he,
too, should be forced to abdicate in
favor of another adventurer. And the
Zionists in the face of exposures and
worldly bickerings of the "spiritual-
ized" grafters, allow themselves to he
bandied about like a flock of sheep.
It is strange, Indeed.

The average American gentleman
can Ret an infinite amount of amuse-

that look as though they had been

there is one thing conspicuous about
