No Tainted Ads. NINTH YEAR, NO 13. EMPIRE STATE IS SWAYING TOWARD THE DEMOCRATS HUGHES’ DEFEAT ACCEPTED BY ROOSEVELT AS FOREGONE CON CLUSION— OHIO, ALSO IS CAUS ING MUCH WORRY. WASHINGTON. Oct. 16.—Two groat state*. ordinarily Republican, are giv ing the administration an much wur l> tik ail the rest of the country put together. These are New York and Ohio. Respite the optimistic reports which an* handed out by the presi dent's callers regarding the situation In Now York. It can be stated on the authority of a member of the preni dent’a cabinet tha„ the detent of Gov. Hughes U now looked upon an a foie gone tonclutdop. and the Ohio hltua tlon Is one which doesn't inspire con fidence. The defeat of f\-»v Hugher would cnuse no weeping or gnashing of te*th, vtre it not tor the fact that It would involve oth«-r inattera, wldeh are dear to the heart of the president. He naturally desires New' York to re uigtn Republican. Again, the defeat of Hughes, if it Is accomplished by ihe enormous figures which are pre dicted In Home quarters, would come dangerously close to losing the state for Taft, and that Is a calamity that Republican leaders do not contem plate wltb equanimity. Danger Signals Out. There are enough signals hanging out iu other parts of the country at present to cause them to worry. Wyo ming Democrats are proving trouble some us are two or three other states. Iu (lie northwest. Massachusetts Is expected to poll a big Republican vote, but the antagonism of organized labor to the head of the state ticket there Is causing much apprehension. Strange Bed-Fellows. The gubernatorial tight in New York Is another illustration of the strange bed-fellows made by politics. It is not so very long ago that the enmity be tween the executive offices ut Albany and the White House was so keen that no effort was made to conceal it. With Gov. Hughes eliminated as a presidential possibility and his strength as a campaigner generally recognised, there was a rift in the clouds. Looka Like Lost Cause. When Mr. Bryan became bother some In addressing open letters to tho White House, quotations from Gov. Hughes addressed were used to amagh some of the Nebraskan’s pet theories between the eyes. Now ihe adminis tration Is desirous of aiding YTov. Hughes, not only for his own sake, uut more especially for the benefit ot Taft, but at the present lime It looks as though it Is a lost cause. He may pull through,” is the way one of the president’s visitors today expressed It. PRESIDENT AT WORK ON ANNUAL MESSAGE WASHINGTON. Oct. 15.—President Roosevelt Is hard at work on his an nual message to congress. He has been going over departmental matters with several of the cabinet officers during the last few days, although the bulk of the work will not be done until after election. Secretary Gar field was at the White House today with some matters which the presi dent deal red to incorporate In his mes sage. Mr. Garfield returned today from a brief stumping tour in the east. ‘‘l spoke in New York eight times yesterday.” aald the secretary of the interior, “and there was enthusiasm •on every side. 1 have no fears for the outcome In that at ate.” DETROIT WOMAN IS IN LIMELIGHT Dtrr.

District Attorney Jerome, of New York, haa hla hands full Just now in vestigating the career of the ‘‘Rev.” Caroline Foote Marsh, high priestess of the New Thought church and school in Brooklyn, who was a Detroit so ciety belle SO years ago. The present investigation haa to do largely with her alleged connection with neverel corporations tn the get-rtch-qulck class. No less than 12 of the companies she has been instrumental in organising are now extinct, It is said. Many members of the New Thought church in Brooklyn are said to hold worthless certificates of stock in these concerns and even some Standard Oil magnates are reputed to have been interested by Mrs. Foote-Marsh. The latter’a mother and her brother, Frederick, both well known in Detroit society, are living in the Toiler. are watching developments In New York, end haveynothlng to say for publication.

FAVOR IN COURT; TRIAL GOES OVER TILL MONDAY JUDGE PHELAN GRANTS SHORT DELAY IN CASE OF DETECTIVE CHARGED WITH GRAFTING— ANNIE SMITH ON HAND. The trial of Fortner Precinct De tective Edward P. Favor, charged with compounding a felony by accept ing a hookcaae as a gift from Annie Smith, former Delray resort keeper, will begin before Judge Phelan and a jury Monday morning. The trial was to have started Thursday morning and all the principals were on hand, but when the case was called Favor's attorneys. Murtha and Mlstersky. asked for a delay. They first wanted it put over the term on the ground that some of the jurors on the present panel would be disqualified to sit In j the case by reason of having officiated 1 In the case of Paul Baetz before Judge Connolly last week. Favor was endorsed on the informa tion in this case as one of the prln i clpal witnesses, but was not called. The same attorneys appeared for the defendant, Baetz, and roasted Favor for foiling to appear in that case. If they should appear now before some of the same jurors as attorneys for Favor they would be placed In a rather embarrassing position. Judge Phelan pointed out that this objection could be overcome by ex cusing Jurors drawn for the Favor case who had happened to serve *n tbe Baetz case, and refused to grant the continuance. Attorney Murtha then asked for a delay until Monday to give a chanoe to prepare and the court granted the request Favor was in court with his wife and Mule girl, the latter a sweet child of about 4 years, who wou the heart of everyone In the courtroom with h*.r smiles. While counsel was arguing before the bar of the court the little girl sat on her father’s lap, receiving hie caresses. Annie Smith, the main witness, was on hand early, attired In a brand new suit with hat to match. Annie bad little to say.

Kaldser have filed written pro tests with the city clerk, and a num ber of other parties have complaints to make. Some of the florists say that they are compelled to hire first-class engineers to run the boilers with which they heat their greenhouses. They regard this as an Injustice. Another man, who runs a clothes cleaning establishment, says that he !has been ordered to hire an engineer !to run the boiler which be usea for steaming cloth.

Shall the People Rule? Ins It latter Where a lan Sells His Honest Labor? a Man Disqualified for Teaching School Simply Because He Kept Books in the Office of a Brewery? Above, to the staff of instructors in the local schools. Inspector Burton has been indorsed in his position and has also l been accused of going too far in the stand he has taken. J? A desire for purity in the schools is most commendable in the Inspector and those who are supporting him. The environment of the school child must be considered in con nection with its perfect training. The same attention is demanded for the moral side as for the intellectual side, for the school age is the receptive age and ideas formed at that time by the boy or girl are, as a rule, the more lasting. Not so long ago in Detroit a saloonkeeper was appointed a school teacher. Quite naturally and quite properly the public became indignant q. and this man was removed from his job. No one will venture that there was not ample ground for this action. The business of selling intoxicating liquors is not one that should be held up before the child as a following from which school teachers are graduated. The man who chooses for his calling one that has to do with the befogging and crazing of men’s brains and the stunting of their reason is hardly the man to develop intellects in children. He is undoing in his rum shop what he would be able to accom plish in the school room. The saloon man and his business is discredited by those who have the interests of the child and our educational system at heart, and quite properly so, for which fact none but the saloonkeeper jMmself is to blame, hut has anyone as yet suggested that there is any harm in keeping books Or will anyone contend that there is any more harm Ih keeping the books of a brewery than there would be in keeping the books in a shoe store or a clothing store or a bank? To say that there is would be drawing the line to a fine point in our opinion—too fine a point. The Times firmly believes. If a man becomes undesirable in another pursuit for the simple reason that he has sold his labor to a brewer, how about the farmer who grows com and rye for consumption by the breweries and dis tilleries? How about the architect who draws the plans of the brewery and the builder who builds it How about the man who makes the brewery wagons? How about the blacksmith who shoes the horses that are driven on brewery wagons? How about the banker who handles the brewer’s money? How about meii in a hundred and one pursuits dependent upon brewers as well as others for their livelihood? They have their goods to sell and their offices to perform for brewers the same as for others, and they could not afford to dis |~i MHHInTt This bookkeeper has his labor to sell and it would be unjust for Us to say that he should not dispose of it and give his services wherever he finds a market. Let us argua from another standpoint. Detroiters believe they are paying more to ride on street cars than they should, but does any one blame the motorman for that? We are oppressed by the criminal trusts. They have been Caught bribing our legislators, but is an employe either in the office or the shops of any trust to be blamed for that? The railroads overcharge us and they are corruptors of gov ernment and for that reason are in bad odor with the people, but the engineer in his engine, or the employe in the auditor’s office cannot be held responsible for what a railroad does. And no more, in justice, can this bookkeeper be included in any prejudice which may exist against the business of making beer. He isn’t making and selling beer. He is simply a hired man, giving of his time and ability and energy, dollar for dollar, to the amount of his pay envelope. He is no more in the capacity of bookkeeper to his employers thaw their historian, which Mr. Burton is to Detroit. He is simply compiling the records of that business from day to day, aa the bookkeeper of any other business is compiling its records. And the question for the school board in his case is not "Where did he keep books?" but "How well did he keep his books?** Was he faithful, steady and honest to those by whom he was employed, no matter whom. When we find an actor on the stage overdoing, though at first be has pleased and we have applauded him. he becomes a bore and we lose interest. There are men on the school board whom we are pleased to have there. Their presence has resulted in the division of this civic body into factions and factions in civic bodies are good things be-) cause one will watch the other. But the case of this bookkeeper suggests that the faction which WB have heretofore applauded and will continue to applaud for any moral stand it may take, has overstepped and appears more In the light of looking for trouble than acting from sincere motives. I Civic purity, as we have maid, is always to be desired and striven for, hut let us save all our energy to bring it to bear when there is ml cause and in so doing escape the charge of being extremists Who seldom accomplish anything in any cause. If we are to say that a man of the necessary ability to teach in OUT schools is undesirable in that position because he has been a bookkeeper in a brewery, we must also cease to make hop tea for OUT school children when their stomachs ache, for beer is made from the same hops. v ganger on one of our Urge lln* of rnjUway baa a boon Gaelic wit.

They have been rescued from so much ioree. that is really why society ha* ala aye felt that it had a right to be complacently eelf-sailafled over the charitie* that it supports for them, says Mabel Potter Daggett, la the No vember Delineator. Found on a door step blanketed In the snow of a win ter's night, picked up drifting about In the alleys, living from hand to mouth, committed by a kindly coart that snatches them from crime to come. So they have arrived by devi ous courses, but always trailing cloud3 of tragedy with them. And. however the details vary In their previous con dition of suffering, it is usually true that they were hungry and cold and ragged and dirty. A board of directors and an association of managers ard an annual meeting of trustees took them iu—into a tine tall brick bund ling. In 1241 institutions throughout jibe United States 100.000 such chil- I urea are gathered today. There they are steam-heated and shower-bathed land check aproned acd dining-room, j rationed, with bread baked by the hundred loaves and meat bought by the hundred pounds. But. listen!
