MAYOR MOORE. REFORMER?
Will tha name of William Hickman
Moore, mayor of Seattle, be added the
names of Mayor Weaver, Mayor John
son. Mayor Fagan and others, as that
of another reform mayor ? Very likely.
When asked, during the campaign,
for an outline of his administration po'
icy in case he should win out, Judge
Moore was straight to the point. He
said : "If I am elected mayor of Seat
tle I will give the city the cleanest and
?quarest administration it ever had."
Now, he i? elected, and he savs: "We
will rid Seattle of its grafters and law"
breakers, from the highest to the low
est; the reign of lawlessness will be
brought to an end."
Those who know Judge Moore real
ize how truly he means just what he
?ays. That he will do his best every
body believes, f nd he is a man of large
abilities, much executive capacity and
a great deal of tact. He should accom
plish enough to entitle him to be called
a reformer.
The administration of Mayor Moore
will be watched with a great deal of
interest.
OPINIONS DIFFER
Senator Tillman's characterization of
himself as a "plain, blunt man" is in
adequate. He is a coarse, cheap dem
agogue. ? Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
Those are not the adjectives used by
the president of the United States
when talking of the South Carolinian
Mr. Roosevelt said: "I regard Senator
Tillman as an honest man; a strong,
earnest American, and a hard, game
fighter." The president should be a
capable and unprejudiced judge. No
one has fought him hauler or more
persistenly than has Se-iator Tillman
Y ukon territory has entered into a
contract with Rainmaker Hatfield to
pay 110.000 for water for mining pur
poses next summer. If the season shall
turn out to be rainy, as many Yu
kon seasons have been, the Yukoners
will never know whether they bought
water or burned money. It looks a tit
tle ss though Hatfield had made a sure
thing bet that the summer will be at
least moderately damp. Under his con
tract, if it rains he gets $10,000 If
there is a drought he gets expenses.
He has a chance to win big money, but
In no case will he lose.

Congress should do one thine or 'be
other about those Alaska railroads and
do it quickly. Aid for the roads should
be granted along broad lines or it
should be announced positively and
beyond appeal that it is not and will
not be the policy of the government to
do anything in the matter at all. That
much is due prospective investors and
those who are already engaged in rail
road building. The unsettled condition
of tbe last few years has not been con
ducive to actual development.
Recent advices from the east say
that District Attorney Jerome, of New
York, and his grand jury have begun
the work of investigating tbe big in
sura~.ee companies for evidences of
crime. The papers have ceased to crit
icize him as a result. (Since the fore
going was written dispatches have been
received saying some indictments have
been returned and that others will
follow.)
It it is true, as it is alleited, that tbe
Clancys tried to stack the cards on
Judge Moore in the election it will not
have a tendency to make life in Seattle
more rosy for them.
