THE PICTURESQUE PEANUT
OF THE WOT,
We are no enthusiastic admirer of
Tammany Hall, but sometimes we
have to love it for the enemies it
makes.
About the most thoroughly con-
bit of history in
pal government has been made by
the unholy, hypocritical gang de-
by Tammany in Tuesday's
election. At the head of this mealy-
mouthed crew stands Seth Low, who
claims to be a non-partisan
whatever that may be. His
lingers have itched for office for
years, and he has made almost any
sort of deal to get As president
of Columbia college he was a fairly
useful citizen. As mayor of the
greatest city in the United States
he has been an utter failure, the sub-
alike for the ridicule and con-
tempt of the city and nation. His
claims to non-partisanship have
been proven impossible times with-

toward Roosevelt and
his administration. As long as J.
Wiley was fed and clothed at the ex-
of the government, through
the favor of the republican
he licked the hand that fed
him morning, noon and night. Then
the G P. and especially the
Rooseveltian appendage thereto, was
good enough for him. But the
moment he was choked off the
teat he became the especial pro-
of the Lord whose mission it
was to give the president advice and
the rest of the country hot air. In
fact, J. Wiley isn't a bump on a log
in his own state or in any other, and
never will be. He is a crank to the
limit, and any party does good
when it gets rid of him.

such that if petition for a dis-

keepers would have had only two
days in which to dispose of their
stock and get out of the business.
This would have meant confiscation

none of it could be sold without
license, and no license could be
