HE municipal campaign comes to its close. { To-morrow voters in this city make their choice of } the kind of government it shall have for the next four years. As to what that choice should be, consideration of the city’s welfare, progress and good name leaves but one answer. » Determination to save New York from another visitation of Tammany rule—with all its dirty record of degraded public ser- vice, bartered contracts, padded payrolls, police corruption and | joited vice—ought to be enough to cause every Republican, In- | Prohibitionist and Single Taxer to join with Fusionists ‘and unbossed Democrats to-morrow in keeping a Murphy Mayor | the most obscure, dircredited and spineless specimen the boss has ever backed—out of the City Hall. Decent, representative municipal government ought to be | issue enough to turn votes from Bennett, Hillquit and minor can- didates, who cannot by any possibility be elected, to combine and concentrate against Hylan, whom over-divided opposition might let in. Considerations like these, we say, ought to be enough in them- selves to settle the result of to-morrow’s election. Yet—although it would seem that the City of New York! should be able to choose a Mayor first and last on the basis of administrative fitness, although it would seem that candidates for | the highest executive office inythis great municipality should at least be equally above suspicion as to the quality and trustworthi- ness of their Americanism, there has arisen the grave certainty that in this election such is not the case. Whatever the earlier status of patriotism as an issue in the campaign, the revealed record of John F, Hylan has made loyalty to the nation and its present high purpose a test by which the last Mylan claim for consideration is annulled. | Hylan, associate of those who have condemned the war and, ume for re ot also Uh Magazine conspired to embarrass their country in the task of prosecuting it! Hylan, indorsed by Hearst because of pro-German leanings secretly approved by Hearst-Kultur! Hylan, whose tongue protests a loyalty that his known acts and sympathies belie! What must be the comment of the nation’s enemies, what must be the thought in the minds of its allies, if the great American metropolis of New York, with its population of five and a half millions, were so far to forget not only its own municipal interest and credit but also its larger patriotic responsibilities at a supreme national crisis, as to go to the polls to-morrow and declare a Hylan worthy to be its Mayor? » « . MORE “CON” IN CONNECTICUT. f UTZON BORGLUM, the eminent sculptor, who resides in Connecticut, and is a leading Progressive in the Fourth ~ Congressional District, where a special election is to be held te-morrow, in an open letter to Col. Roosevelt poignantly points out fhe cruel habit his leader has of stabbing his friends, This time the knife is used by the Colonel in coming to the reaéue of John T. King, boss of Bridgeport, who is supporting Sehuyler Merritt, the Republican candidate, who is running against Uynn Wilson, Progressive Democrat. __ The Colonel ‘aids King, he says, because he “likes his prin- efples.” Mr. Borglum recites the “principles” for the Colonel’s re- information: “King is not a leader; King does not reason; King 1s not ‘ a statesman. King is a boss with all the detestable methods of the boss, He doesn't want associates, He cannot under- stand, counsel, He will not work with others. He gets his heelers to create a county committee, makes himself chair- man—all for no purpose or service but to hide his own losses in his own district, and then claim credit for the work of out- lying districts.” Mr, Borglum goes on to deseribe the crowd whom the Ricks alopg with King and Merritt: ' “We live in a nest of petty political bosses, ambitious, of village vision and easy morals, men who Iie and cheat and treat public business and courts and judges as personal chat- tels—'they don't want votos, they don't want speakers, they want money'—and they use the suffrage as a gambler uses chips and they own the results.” Some indictment!

I never saw it before,” said Mrs, Jarr enviously. “I thought they were wearing small hats for afternoons?” ‘Oh, they are wearing large hats, too,” replied the visitor, taking out her gold pocket mirror and seeing how she looked, “When the hat ts jarge, this season, the brim turns back Ike this one. The crown !s soft and the brim is held to !t by @ Jet ornament-something simple but smart.” And she shook her head to make the jet ornament glisten and prove it was not only simple and smart but brighUy expensive as well. “What is this Ladie War-Time Economy League?" asked Mrs. Jarr, shutting her eyes to the smart hat. “To save fats,” Mudridge-Smith, “Mra, Suyver will be there and the Baroness Holstein, and Mrs, Graboer’—— ‘They've all got plenty of fat to ve, but 1 thought all those women | wanted to get rid of it,” interrupted | Mra.

Yet it is chic and 1 con. sider it well worth the $200 1 paid for it, don’t you?” “It's well worth two hundred dol lars of your money, but not of mine," Mrs, Jarr, longingly, “But is Ladies’ Wartime Economy said this cussion of economy in food?

I've prac- tised it before the war."" “I'l admit it's all very confusing to me,” remarked the visitor, “But I do know that I AM economizing, Mme.
