A WARDING
There was a warning in the independ-,
eat voting Tuesday, which in so man,
places brought disaster to the repub -
can party and which came so nearly
overwhelming T-mmany in
cHy. The people are bocom ng ,
and tired of being dictated to and
robbed \y bosses and poliUcal ma
chines. They smashed a few of them
this week and more of them are marked
for slaughter. Unless their temper |
.hall change thtre is to be a newjorder .
of thing- The masses are in the pro
cess of making up their ^totaKe
charge of government in the United j
States. The warning in this is partic- 1
ularlv directed to the republican ps.rty
for the reason that that party is domi
nant in political attairs and coa^lueai
1, is more completely boss-ridden and
machine-driven than the opposition..
The machines and bosses are in it be-,
ciuse there they have more luxuriant
pastures in which to graze than are
available elsewhere. If the republican
partv shall fail to lay Its bosses and ma
chines low in its party primaries it wiU
be defeated at the polls and President
Roosevelt will be succeeded in the
White House by a democrat.
While the people in various portions
of the United States rebuked a few of
the republican rings thisweek by elect
ing democratic tickets they have by no
means reached the spot. They have,
however, marked a course for the re
publicans. They have charted a e
ot the rocks on the political sea and
they have indicated the nature of the
obstacles to navigation for which thos
in charge of party councils must look
It they would save their ship
And if ihe republican party goes out
after machines it should first of all de
strov the congressional machine, the
worst and n ost dangerous of them all.
It has become so that the congress o
the United States legislates as it is di
rected by a small combination of sena
torial and congressional bosses.
Aldrich, Elkins, Spooner and a few
other senators and Cacnon, Tawney an
a few more representatives have a con
trol over the legislation of the nation
as Dave Martin has had control over
the ordinances of Philadelphia or
Charlie Murphv those of New \ oik or
Abe Ueuf those of San Francisco. And
just as the city bosses fashion munici
pal legislation for monetary autocra
cies, so do the congressional bosses
plan that of the nation for the big
trusts and other favored autocrats, or,
in other words, for what it has pleased
Tom Lawson to call "The System
If the republican party is to remain ^
dominant in American politics its rank j
and file must get into politics ana assist
Presi lent Roosevelt in his contest with
this "stand pat" ring. They must
dethrone Senator Aldrich, Speaker
Cannon and the other congressional
bosses.

In a speech at the recent meeting of
M jthodist bishops at Washington, D.
t\, Bishop John W. Hamilton, who pre
sided over the first Alaska Methodist
conference held at Juneau two years
a;oaudwfco preached a strong sermon
and delivered an eloquent address in
Skagway, made the startling statement
that the efforts of the people to keep
the races who inhal it North America
from amalgamating are foolish and will
be ineffective. He said the typical
American of the future will have the
blood of the negro, the Indian and the
Oriental, as well as that of the Cauca
sian, in his veins. He protested against
the exclusion of the Chinese from the
Pacific coast and said the duty of our
people is to let down the bars and per
mit the races from all the world to
unite and form a great composite race
on the American continent. That, he
held, would be in accordance with
God's laws and he protested it were
futile for men to attempt to thwart des
tiny as planned by the Supreme Power.
The address created a sensation.
The election Tuesday absolutely dis
posed of George B. McClellan as a fig- 1
ure In state and national politics, for
tho present, at least. William Trav
el** Jerome and William Randolph
Hearst are the big democrats in New
York city today.
Men of peace will refrain from sug
geestinp the introduction of Bishop
Hamilton to Senator Tillman.

FIUST FAHE J
[Copyright. 1905. by K. A. Whitehead.] >|
For the third time n coachman called j
to Carton to move along that oth- \
crs might drive up to the curb, and >
with a muttered expression of disgust J
at the length of time It took Fred \
Howell to select n cigar Hugh Carton i
ran his automobile across the street J
and fell In line behind two other cars $
drawn up beside the square. He did >'
not notice that the others belonged to ^
a sight seeing company until n musical >
voice Inquired what his terms were.
Carton looked down Into the face of
an exceedingly pretty girl and (lushed
a glance at the cars ahead. In an In- ,
gtant he comprehended the sltuutlou.
"Dollar an hour." he said gruffly, touch
ing his leather cap with what he con- 1
gratulated himself was n good Imita
tion of a chauffeur's salute.
"I shall waut you about three hours,"
she said simply and waited while he
sprang down and opened the door In
the back of the tonnean. Iu another
momeut they were speeding up the
street
mm ~ ? ? lia oniurhjl
*Tom ue wiuvi wi v.?v
a glimpse of Fred Howell standing on
the hotel steps, and ills conscience
smote him. lie had promised Howell
a rtm, but still It was not his fault
that It took his friend so long to pick '
out cigars while he remained outside
to be tempted by the prettiest girl he
had ever seen.
lie could take Howell out nt any 1
time. This was his one chance wit!)
the pretty girl. Perhaps after awhile ;
he could tell her that lie wa3 not a
professional chauffeur. Before they '
had gone half a mile he had built an
air castle In which his llrst fare was
established as chatelaine, and then sud
denly the fare wrecked his castle.
"Turn down the next street to 274,"
she ordered, and obediently Carton
drew up. "I want to send my mother
out for a drive," she said sweetly.
"Give her a good view of the city and
keep the rest for yourself."
She ran up .the steps, while Carton
stared blankly at the Ave dollar bill
sho had thrust Into his hand. For a
moment he was tempted to follow her
up the steps, give the money to a ser
vant and drive off. Then came the
comforting reflection that perhaps It
might be easier to establish himself
with the mother than with the daugh
ter, and he waited.
A few moments later he was sorry
he had not done so, for down the step*
came one of the most eccentric figure?
he had ever seen, ner clothes bort
the stamp of seasons gone before, and
a hideous blue veil screened a face
sharp nnd angular.
She fixed herself comfortably in the
seat, and with a querulous, "Pon't gc ,
too fast, young man," they started.
It was torture to Hugh to skim .
through the residential district with <
this old figure in the tonneau, and
more than one surprised glance follow- i
ed the automobile and the oddly as- J
sorted pair. Even the hope of being
able to win the old lady's favor van
ished when, after several attempts to
engage her In conversation, she leaned
forward and In her high pitched voice
said: "It's no use to talk to me, young
/nan; I'm deaf, and I wish you would
not turn round; you make me nervous,
you can't see where you are going."
He heaved a sigh of relief when nt
lost he deposited her before her owii
door and was free to escape. He dk! i
not even catch a glimpse of the gir1 ,
who had lured him to his fate.
It was late when he entered thi j
Howells' drawing room that evening j
The butler was just announcing din ,
ner, and tlierf was barely time to makt 1
hurried greeting to his hostess ant'
offer his arm to his companion.
Before each plate on the long tabli
stood a characteristic favor, aud tin
laughter was long and loud when hf
picked up the tiny silver and gilt cigar
ette holder fashioned In the form of ai
automobile that stood at his plate
The laughter became a shriek when
on lifting the lid, he discovered a fiv?
dollar bill In stage money.
As bravely as he could he faced th?
storm of laughter and jeering remarks
which followed, but not until h(
caught sight of Ilowell nt the othei
end of the table, fairly convulsed witt
mirth, did he discover the secret of hU
undoing, for beside the Joker, red and
unsmiling, was his fare of the morn
Ing.
When they had ail returned 10 uie I
drawing room balm was poured upon |
his wounded feelings, for the girl came
op to him. J
"I want to apologize to you, Mr. Car
ton," she said bravely, "for my inno
cent complicity in the joke my cousin
has played upon yon.
"I am Mabel Norton, Fred's cousin,
and it was he who pointed you out to
me and recommended you as the most
careful of the public drivers. I assure
you that I had no idea that he was
playing a Joke upon me."
"It Is all right," said Carton. "I was
playing a Joke upon you, you see? I
had no business to do It, but? well," he
went on lamely, "I thought that maybe
?after awhile? I- might be able to teli
you that you wero my guest and not i
my fare. Anyway? perhaps? well, I
hope your mother enjoyed the ride."
After that things progressed famous
ly.' Following the first trip. Carton's
automobile was at the door of 274 ev
?ry pleasant afternoon. It was In the
automobile, indeed, that she -promised
to become Mrs. Carton, and they linva
teclded upon an automobile trip for the
aoneymoon. Fred Howell has already
ordered a new twenty-four horsepower
machine as a wedding present, but Ma
bel declares that she prefers the one In
which her lover earned his first fare.
Carton agrees with her, but he spells
:t f-a-I-r. JAMES ANDERSON.
