many who have seen it, remarkably nne
example of the artists work. So when
Boston's Copley Society proposed Whis-
tier exhibition Mr.. Garfield. who has pa
tronized that artist freely in the past and
owns large number of his canvases Of
fered greater proportion of the total OF
14S than any other individual. Unfortu-
nately. he was so liberal as to tender ms
own portrait along with the others, chiefly
landscapes and characteristic Whistler
esque pots of paint" as Ruskin called
them. So the managers of the show are
confronted with the supposed requirement
of politeness that they take the whole loan
or none at all They cannot afford to re-
fuse the loan as an entirety, for without
these Garfield Whistlers the exhibition
would be corfspicuously deficient. Yet the
patrons of the exhibition are protesting
loudly against hanging on the line the por-
trait of this king of gamblers, whose name
is supposedly anathema In all polite cir
cles. The situation becomes the more acute
when it Is known that among the Whistler
portraits loaned for the exhibition are those
of some of the best known of American
women, noted for their works against all
that Garfield represents in our social life.
At latest accounts the committee in charge
continued to balance the pro and con argu-
mentS.

An Automobile Tag Decision.

Those automobilists who object to the
writing and enforcement of all laws which
restrict their freedom of action in the
streets and cities were greatly delighted
when the court of special sessions in New
York city upheld certain contentious of
man accused of violating the act of the
legislature requiring the tagging of motor
vehicles and otherwise restricting their use
of the streets. This lower court declared
the law unconstitutional on the ground that
it was class legisla ton. The prosecution
appealed and the case was argued before
the appellate division of the state supreme
court with great earnestness by both sides.
That court has just handed down its decis-
ion. overriding the court below and fully
upholding the constitutonahty of the law.
The justice who wrote the decision said:
The Legislature appreciated the danger
to pedestrians and to people in vehicles
drawn by horses caused by motor vehicles.
many of which make the speed of railway
trains 1t was essential to the safety of
the travelling public that the speed of
such vehicles should be regulated and linn
tied 1t is necessary that the vehicle may
be readily identified to deter the operator
from violating the law and the rights of
others. and to enforce the laws regula ting
the speed and to hold the operator reSpon-
sible in cases of accident. The legislature
deemed that the best method of identifica-
ton, both as to the vehicle and the owner
or operator, would be by a number on
tag conspicuously attached to the vehicle"
There can be no denying the soundness of
this doctrine short of an absolute prejudice
in behalf of unrestricted street use by the
automobiles. The claim OF the owner of an
automatic vehicle that he is specially gifted
in the avoidance of obstacles does not suf-
-tice TO dispel the public fear of him as
menace to the safety of all other users of
the street Even if his claims be in truth
well founded there will yet remain the
necessity for speed-restricting laws and for
means to enforce those laws, for not only
must the streets be kept safe, but the pub
lie must be assured, far as law can go
TO that effect. that they are in truth safe
1t is this need of public assurance which
lies at the bottom of all such legislative eff
forts to hold the automobile down to a ra-
tional basis Fortunately the Districts
ordinance to this end was quickly sustained
by the courts, so that this community did
not have TO pass through New York $ alter
nation of hope and fear and final hope as
the courts acted.

is little IL any Parker sentiment, however,
to be found below the Harlem river. The
big town Is anti-Hill. and anti-everybody
whom Mr.. Hill favors
And there is Mr.. Hearst, a resident of the
city, the representative of a Tammany dis
trict in Congress, and young man very
much In earnest in pursuit of the presi-
dency. For time one, as usual, had to go
away from home for the news. The Hearst
boom commanded less attention in New
York than anywhere else in the country.
Still. there was, and is. Hearst boom, and
democrats at a distance are anxious to
know what Mr.. Hearst's strength may be
under his own vine and fig tree. Why does
Tammany. after sending him to Congress,
put Mr.. Cleveland above him for the ma
tional leadership? And would the Parker
people go to him with their favorite out Of
the running?
Nor should Mayor Mcclellan be over
looked. He is Young, and "as 'opes."
Tammany loves him. and Mr.. Hill is
friendly. Mr.. Hearst helped elect him
mayor. Suppose the Cleveland, the Parker
and the Hearst people make a compromise
man necessary. Will they accept the young
mayor. and push him to the front? And
years impress the party at large?
If New York is to carry off the honor at
ST. Louis she must make her choice before
she gets there. Should she arrive in town
uncertain in mind as to her strongest son,
her influence In the convention would not

oratory at st. Louis.

Should Bourke Cochran present the name
of Mr.. Cleveland, Isidor Rayner that of
Mr.. German, David B. Hill that of Judge
Parker. and William J. Bryan that of Mr.
Hearst to the ST. Louis convention, a
mighty stir would be created. 1t might be
well for the owners of the building in which
the convention will sit to take something
OF this kind into account and strengthen
its supports and particularly the roof. Ora
tory has never actually taken the roof off
of any building. but these are times when
all things seem possible. Let the brethren
be made entirely safe both as against fire
and wind. Since Mr.. Bryans feat at Chi
cago in 1896. the value of a rafting speech
and the responsive howl in convention
has been carefully considered and even
with the thermometer in the nineties, ST
Louis next July may witness a spouting
contest phenomenal for strenuosity.

Safety as an Issue,

The republicans acting wisely in TAX
ing up the democratic challenge that the
President is not safe man. Upon that
proposition rests the whole anti-Roosevelt
movement, whether inspired in trust circles.
or in democratic circles on the legitimate
hunt for an issue
Mr.. Root, speaking with a good deal of
knowledge, tells the New Workers imme-
diately upon his return home that the
President is the most potent influence in
public Office here for conservatism in af
fairs. That is reply to the Wall street
howl about the Northern Securities case.
If Wall street remains incredulous, let 1t
take the steps to sound sentiment in politi-
cal circles in this town as to how strong
the demand still is for an enforcement of
the antitrust law. The President is ex-
ecuting that law to the full, and in doing
SO has popular sentiment behind him. But
it nowhere appears in his actions that his
object or desire is to knock legitimate bust
ness on the head anywhere. The great
army of manufacturers and wage-earners
are not menaced or alarmed. If Wall street
thinks the President unsafe let it try Con-
gress openly in behalf of it's real purposes.
Did it fail to note the response, both in
congressional circles and out, to the For
aker bill?
Another point upon which the arraign-
ment of the President is made to rest is
his interference in the matter of the an
thracite coal strike But as to that he Is
defended by one of the most eminent Of
democrats. The following is taken from an
interview with Judge Gray of Delaware
which appears in print today:
What effect will President Roosevelt's
In, xal1t l.
thracite strike have upon his candidacy
That cannot be predicted. l know what
effect 1t should have. The President in that
instance acted with wisdom and patriotism.
He prevented fuel riots in the great cities
and earned the gratitude of all classes, the
wealthy as well as the miners. His prompt
and vigorous action really preserved prop
erty rights that were seriously endangered.
The queStion-how far may natural mo-
nopoly be controlled by individuals or cor
poratiOns for private gain-was before the
people. and the people were approaching
its solution in an ugly mood"
According to this-and Judge Gray, it
will be remembered. had exceptional oppor-
tunity to study the whole questionable
President acted not only as a peacemaker,
but as the guardian of the peace. The peo-
pie were becoming aroused to the danger
point to the attitude of those railroad
companies which were Indifferent alike to
the appeals Of the miners and the necessi-
ties of the country. The President spoke
the word of duty, and at the proper time.
1t is very evident that If Mr.. Roosevelt on
a question of this kind is an unsafe man
in the White House. Judge Gray also would
be. And yet great many democrats seek
ing for safe man for President are in
favor OF the Delaware statesman. Nor can
1t be doubted that he would fill the Office
well.
If the President is unsafe man, his
opponents in Wall street and elsewhere
must present new bill of particulars.

The Treaty Nearing a Vote.

The welcome promise is held out that the
Senate will not indulge in protracted debate
in executive session on the canal treaty.
There is no good reason why 1t should. Inc
whole matter has been sufficiently aired in
open session, and ratification is assured. 1t
seems the part of common sense. therefore,
TO put the seal of formal approval on the
instrument as speedily possible. and have
done with It. Arrangements TO begin work
are so complete that Uncle Sam may be de-
scribed as standing spade in hand waiting
for the word. And when be gets fairly I'M
der way with the job he will be a mighty
man in those diggings.
The open debate IN the Senate has had its
good uses. The opposition's plans all mis-
carried. At the outset we were invited to
a disclosure that would shock the moral
sense of the whole world. We were as
sured that the revolution at Panama was
Matched in New York, with the conniyance
of the administration and that the con-
spirators deserved the censure of mankind.
The thunderings in the index were Sinaitic
In their reverberations Theodore Roose-
welt and John Hay were to be annihilated.
and general warning served on all men
in office not to trife with the sacred obi
cation of international law. And so forth.
down came the opposition had nothing.
No more measly hand was ever exposed at
table. The whole effort had been to arouse
sentiment for partisan purposes, with Mr..
German as the leader ard the intended
beneficiary. As a candidate for the presi-
dency. the Maryland senator, aided by his
friends, had decided to make the canal
treaty a political asset, and to take the
risk even of a war with Colombia in order
to put the President in a hole
Mr. Germans play was fashioned for eff
feet particularly in the south He did not
doubt that in section where much bitter
feeling exists against the President senti-
ment would enthusiastically support and
applaud a move aimed so directly at both
the official and the republican candidate in
the coming campaign. 1t was a woeful
misleading of the situation. . With no lik-
ing for the President, and with we'll
formed purpose to oppose him next No
yember. the south was yet not to be gulled
into fighting a project carrying SO much
of value to herself. And she turned her
back on Mr.. German and declared for the
treaty.
Little remains to be said in the Senate,
and presumably when the vote is cast on
the treaty secrecy will be lifted by that
body and the country advised as to just
how the members recorded themselves

Boston has fresh question of ethics and
art to discuss Shall a picture show in
elude works by great painters irrespective
of the subjects? This is not moral issue
like that which was caused by the agita-
fion over the statue of the Bacchante pre-
sented to the Public Library and after q
long debate rejected. 1t is on different
plane. Here is the case: Shortly before
his death j. Mcneil Whistler painted on
commission, the portrait Of Richard Can
field the American gambler. Mr.. Garfield
has artistic tastes. He knows a choice bit
OF bric-a-brac or an old master along with
the rest of the connoisseurs. and in conse
