The victory for Tammany appears
to be complete now that the As
sembly has approved the report of
the Frawley committee and impeach
ed Governor Sulzer. Long ago we
said that Tammany knew very wel'
when it proceeded to fight Governor
Sulzer to a finish it knew the man
it was tackling; Tammany knew
that there were flaws in his armor.
At the same time Tammany is
fighting a losing battle. Tammany
will fare just as the machines are
faring all over the United States.
Big Business has discarded the ma
chine long ago. It is too expensive
and it has been unreliable. The ma
chine has now and then to cater to
■ popular favor in a way that seems
unscientific to big business which
knows its power.
All this hurrah about purifying
polities is not what it seems to be.
It is being purified because the open
corruption has served its end. It is
being shown to Big Business every
day ''that other methods of control
are easier, are more reliable, and
are less easily detectable.
Tammany taken all round is a dis
gusting nuisance to Big Business. It
has identified itself with crime and
vice so distinctively that it repels
the people just when it should fasci
nate. And Big Business when it has
most urgent need of Tammany does
not want to identify itself with vice
or crimes however vicious and crim
inal it may be per se. And that is
really why there is such an impetus
to this reform movement the coun
try over; why Roosevelt is backed
by the Morgans, by the Perkins and
by the McCormacs. For Big Busi
ness believes in going to Church of
a Sunday, donning a frock coat and
tall hat, and being in a word res
pectable.
This Tammny stunt is not at all
what it should be. The men smoke
cigars in the side of their mouths,
they wear derby hats on the side of
their heads, they go to no church
more often than not, and they drink
in tough saloons and have a good
time, and do not seem to care who
knows it with women of sportive
tendencies who Jike Magdalen have
loved too much. All that is far from
respectable; it brings Big Business
politically into disrepute, and it
looks black. After all politics are
all in the outward seeming. It mat
ters not to the politician that they
have that within which passes show,
at the political court the inky cloak
of the mourning Hamlet is no more
unwelcome than the cap and bells of
the drunken Tammany jester. A
good politician has to be a good hy
pocrite if he will pass muster with
Big Business, and Tammany wears
its vices as its sportive members
wear boutonieres—smiling gayly,
and debonnaire. It will not do at all.
Rockefeller knew what he was about
when he started a crusade against
white slavery and against cadets,
and when Carnegie builds libraries
and talks edifyingly about up-lifting
humanity he is also wise in his
genrati^n. Then the biggest steal
and the biggest corruption that
has undermined the social life
upder capitalism is forgotten for
people judge by the outward shows.
The world is still deceived by
ornament, said Shakespeare, and
who may say that the deception is
not just as true today as when the
Bard of Avon placed the lines in the
mouth of Bassanio. Surely will
Tammany be cleaned out—surely
will Boss Murphy find that he plays
a losing battle, that the forces which
oppose him are terrible forces, and
that shifting sands are the sands
upon which his house, the house of
him and his, have been so ill builded.
.Sulzer is but a pawn in the mdve
ment. His poor appeals to the
people to sustain him against the
machinations of the boss would
strike deaf ears enough but that
huge interests would have the peo
ple heed .and hear. His frantic ap
peals against the ruthless attacks of
Tammany will in the end be echoed
by Tammany itself when the real
power crushes Tammany as Tam
many crushes Sulzer. Not for noth
ing are the powers of wealth,
through the press, through the pul
pit thundering against the Tiger
whose bloody maw is dripping over
! with vice and crime and all things
evil. The little charities of Tam
niany will be forgotten. The refuge
■vihich Tammany has been to the so
cial Ishmaelites will count for
nought, and the time is coming no
doubt when the very men who found
safety and rest in the bosom of
Tammany when all the rest of so
ciety was against them will rise and
bear witness to the foulness of their
protector. There is no gratitude in
politics. Cold blooded and evil, it
| is a game that is played with loaded
dice by Big Business. The lead may
j be imbedded in the dice by means of
j religion, by up-lift theories, by mor
! ality or by plain corruption but the
dice are and always will be loaded
for Big Business.
Had Tammany wisdom it is doubt
ful even if it can last. But it has
I neither principle nor wisdom. It
| stands for nothing but sheer corrup
tion. It is a betrayer of what capi
talism actually is, and capitalism
fears that the public will recoil at
j the reflection so hideous of cap’tal
ism as is seen in Tammany. That
is the danger and it was the danger
that menaced capitalism in many
others besides Tammany. It was the
cause of the downfall of Taft. Taft
was candor itself—a short-sighted
un-wise man who played like a child
the game of wise old men. Big Busi
ness saw that he gave it away. It
feared Taft not for his strength of
| character or for his powerful will
or for his purposeful acts, but be
cause he exposed the hand which big
business would have him play in
secrecy and by stealth. Not all the
great industrial chiefs saw this, but
the greatest did. Morgan saw it;
Perkins saw it and greater than
enther of these, Rogers, saw it long
ago. Roosevelt was their man, the
up-lifting colonel who would build
a protecting wall of governmental
awe around monopoly and regulate
Big Business so that it would be safe
from attack. The regulation that
Big Business sought is the regula
tion which prevents molestation and
which would give monopoly every
appearance of being a quasi-govern
mental institution. The independents
who are being crushed by monopoly
called Roosevelt’s schemes socialis
tic, but they were state capitalistic
and nothing else. Roosevelt would
have armor plated capitalism so that
it could defy attack, and last out
the ravages of social storms.
The boss and the machine in poli
tics have got to go expect where the
boss and the machine are synomin
ous with ^Big Business. Tammany is
powerful like all carefully built up
organizations that have become in
stitutions. But Tammany is identi
fied with Big Business in no way
whatever, and only indirectly with
the larger interests that are the real
power behind the throne. It will
take some time, much money, and
no end of labor to down Tammany,
but it will be downed and when the
smoke of battle rolls way there will
stand supreme apparently men of
lofty aims, of noble minds, and high
and purposeful endeavor who will
most effectively mask the steel and
blood and filth of Big Business. It
has got to come to that. There can
not be two Beast marks. There may
be but one, and the mark of Tam
many will not be the one which will
survive.
Between Big Business and Labor
is the real issue. All the other
folderols whether identified with
Sulzers or with men like him will
be eliminated in the .friction of the
events of time, and there will re
main nothing but the antagonism,
direct, open, and final, of organized
exploiters and the organized ex
ploited.
Guess the Tipperary Man’s Pin
kerton is still letting loose some
dope. Here’s a gem from yester
day’s Nugget:
“The socialists have destroyed the
union here,” says a member of the
Miner’s Union to the Nugget. ‘The
chief union man of this city is now
working for a man who is the chief
object of the red flag attack. There
is no miner’s union. Nothing but an
archists are left that only want jobs.
Just look at the periodicals that are
being circulated in the union hall
and you will see why they have kill
ed the union.’”
We certainly pride ourselves on
having got under the hide of the
“Give-it-to-me-Kid” from Ruby
Arrah, G’wan wid ye Johnnie. ’Tis
a terrible joker y’are entirely;
