PARTY BOSSES AVOID ALBANY AND OLD GUARD ANXIQUSLY AWAITS MOVE BY WHITMAN ——____ Patronage Hungry See Little. Hope in Governor's Econ- omy and Efficiency Plans, “PEOPLE'S HOUSE” GOES ‘Fifth Avenue and Newport to the Fore—“Old Guard” Now “Watchful Waiting.” By Samuel M. Williams. Special Staff Correspondent of The Evening World. ALBANY, Jan. 2—Gov. Whitman slept very late this morning after the fatigues of inauguration day and Spent but a fow hours at the execu- tive offices in the capitol. The ma- chinery of the new State Administra- tion will not be geared up to running speed until next week fcr several rea- First, the Governor intends spend- ing Sunday and Monday In New York City attending to some private busi- ness and shipping up to Albany his persona effects. Second, and more important, there has not been determined as yet a definite working policy between the executive and legislative branches of the Government. When all the Sena- tors and Assemblymen come into Al- bany next Wednesday for the session the conferences and caucuses will begin to mark out the lines. There are two phases of this new Republican Administration wherein it diffe 1 from those of the past four years of Democratic rule. One is the | side apd the other is t! litical strategy in which party ers are manoeuvring to make ww York again dominant in national ‘airs. It has been a tong time since New port and Fifth Avenue took any per- gonal interest in a Governor. With the exception of the Roosevelt regime, there has not been in twenty years, since the days of Levi P. Morton, a time when so-called fashionable clety of New York City put the Ex- ecutive Mansion at Albany in its ad- dress book. The administrations were either too up-State political or too intellectual to come within the com- prehension of society. Gov. Whitman took possession of the executive offices in evening dress, He was surrounded by a small group of associates similarly clad. The traces of Sulzer Democracy with its affectatinos of uncouth manners, old clothe" cco spit and talk about ‘the “pee-pul,” were banished from the firet moment. Gov. Glynn during his ghort reign after the impeachment of swept out much of the dirt, but e Whitman Administration brought in top hats, kid gloves, good clothes and “classy” society with ite furs and diamonds. Toe Governor's wife has a social @ecretary, after the fashion of the President's wife in the White House. ‘The Governor dresses for dinner at Bight. The men in bis iminediate entourage are clean cut, well groomed university graduates of the younger eet in politics. Frederick C. Tanner, State Chair- man of the Republican party, who brought out Whitman politically, tells a story on himself at inaugura- tion, An old timer greeted bim with @ongratulations and said: “You're the only State Chairman | ever know to fw fur comt loft after the campaign.” The Kxecutive Mansion had repre- @entatives of various groups of New York Bociety for the inauguration Mra. 0. HM. PF. Belmont, Mra, Her- man Ocirichs and Mre iB. rei tung were there from Fifth Avenue; Mme. da Gama, wife of the Bra- Siliap Ambassador, cane from the Washington diplomatic eset; Mre Charlies ¥. Hoffman represented the 4 time New York families; Mra Beth Low gave the grave and dignity Of the city’s bert intelinctual circles, uM ‘Veupiee House’ longer.

In @ broad sense the Legislature is eae ies by old line Republicans, whi fealty and devotion to party and organization frequently is stronger than response to demands of common welfare. If there is any one sentiment that stands out more prominently than any other policy among them, it is this: The Republican Party, after four years of defeat by Democrats and internal dissension, must now be re- made into an i 1 orga: all remnants of he overriding all oppo: that it can lead th affairs and name the next President. WATCHFUL OLD GUARD 18 HOLDING ALOOF, There is a curious game of watchful wal on the part of these political . They have not fully taken Gov. Whitman into their councils, nor has he sought admission to their ranks: They are doubtful whether he will prove another Gov. Hughes, de- vine and breaking the party ma- ine. No so-called boss has sought to in- fluence or to control the new Gover- nor. They have kept in the back- ground 40 that their absence is no- ticeable. Mr. Barnes of Albany was not in evidence at any of the inau- gural functions, Mr. Hendricks of Syracuse, Mr. Aldridge of Rochester, Mr. Greiner of Buffalo, Mr. Odell of Newburgh, and that senior of all Old Guardsmen, Mr, Payn of Chatham, were not seen within many miles of the Capitol. Srarne they say: “It is your move first, Governor.” But the Governor so far has given no defini leclaration of policy. In his inaugural ad he would send messages to the Legis. lature bearing on specific subjects. The first of them will come se t Wednesday. It will deal with propo. sitions of finance and economy. The Republican up-State organisa- tion is patronage hungry. The more vehement want ripper legislation that will cut off the heads of all Democrats in office. The more far-seeing say that reorganization of State depart- ments merely to gain offices and to reform and improve system is reactionary effect. There ust nstructive policy as well as “turning of the rascals out.” All indications point to this old-time fight for patronage as the crucia! } for Republican harmony ‘In Atban | during the next three monthe. Gov. Whitman's inaugural messa; = vealed unoxpectedly that he 1s going tiffo business management of Dublio to make financial economy and sci office his cardinal prinotples. This means reduction in the number of places, and if carried to logical conclusion appointment of th» fittest men, regardless of politics, to the best places. It is the same old ret idea that Mayors and Governors ann even Presidents have struggled with ever since Senator William L. Marcy of New York enunciated the doctrine “To the victors belong the spoils.” DEPARTMENT CHIEFS BUSY CLEANING HOUSE. In three State departments wh. chiefs were elected and took ‘office este! @ sweep of Democrats was made within twenty-four hours in a manner to delight the heart of t most rampant spollsman. State Engi neer and Surveyor Frank L. Williams cleaned house from top to bottom and threw out all the assistants, division engineers and bureau chiefs that had been in office under Engineer John A. Bensel. Even a Republican deputy who had been retaine! during the Democratic regime was dropped for fear of possible contagion. The only ones of importance remaining are members of the Advisory Board, com- posed of eminent technical engineers who have no politics, Even these are slated to be changed. Secretary of State Hugo lost no time in making all the changes he could and lamented, “They deprived me of fourteen places by putting the Automobile Bur« under civil ser- vice classification at the last moment.” ———__.

Fisk. By Marguerite Mooers Marshall. The American man and woman of fifty have less vitality than their fathers and mothers at the same age, and are more Hkely to die before reaching their sixty-fifth birthday. Also the American death rate .for that period of fifteen years which should repr®sent the prime of middle life is not merely higher than the rate for a Mike period in Germany and in England, but is steadily increasing. Your chance to be a grandfather or a grandmother is growing less and less! These highly significant facts were brought out the other day in an address before the American Association for the Advancement of Sciences by Dr. Eugene L. Fisk, director of hygiene at the Life Ex- tension Institute of New York. When I called on Dr. Fisk at the offices of the institute, No, 26 West Forty-fifth Street, I found a scholaffy, con- servative gentleman who didn’t deny his rather alarming forecast of our chances for reaching old age, but who had both explanation and encour- agement to offer. “If there are seeds of degeneracy in|Struggling upward and downward.

New Vork State, and in fact the United States, in this regard, le far behind in thie matter of keeping the family intact in our peor relief systems. As a member of this Commission, the following facts appear in the pre- lminary remarks of the report of my investigations of six European coun- tries: “The general feeling expressed is against the institution for the child in al these countries. With the ex- ception of England, the institution is only for delinquent, backward or sick children. The normal child ts only put into an institution as a tem- porary place until something better is arranged for him. This is the pro- cedure for children generally. But that these eelf-same countries are realising that the widow and her children, aside from the general poor relief system, has claim on the Btate that differentiates her on be- half of her children from all other kinda of poor relief and to keep her home intact, seems to be the process Of the most progressive legisiation. “Also, another deduction on the. whole ts that family life for the child is regarded from past experience and statistics to be the best medium for rearing the future citisen—whether the family life is given in its parental home with relatives or foster guard- jans. For example, in Scotland, whore possibly the best boarding-out system has for many years been de- veloped, less than 3 per cent. of the children thus oared for return for poor reilef to the Government. And leas than 1 per cent. have wu: and Oy © Leen found ‘In fi “the I tution “In fact, netitution in Kuro} is regarded #8 vnly a temporary abode for the child until some is provided for it either in the f relatives or foster guardians.
