Attorney General Moody
has recently voiced a plaint
against the newspapers Of
this country beca use he says,
they want the Department OF
Justice to try it's cases before
the tribunal of the press, as
he expressed it. In OF h e r
words, the Attorney General
maintains that the nwspas
pers insist on knowing and
publishing t he discoveries
and plans Of the department
before they are revealed in
the courts and that in this
way the cases OF the govern
ment ore weakened by their
revelation in advance to the
attorneys for the defense.
While there may be some
ground Tor this complaint.
there seems to be little rea-
son why the department
should not refuse to reveal in
formation when such revela-
ton would weaken the Gov-
ernment's case and the news.

Tho End of Partisan PoIItLcI 2

The Presidents speeches in the South
west bubble with personal happiness
sparkle with original thought and over
flow with unselfish effort 10 make his
fellow citizens cheerful and at the same
time to instruct them.
Nothing, however, that Mr. RoosE-
WILT has uttered since he left Washing
ton inspires more interest than those
passages in which he indicates his belief
that the issues Of partisan politics are OF
infinitely less importance than the ques-
tons concerning which party lines are
not drawn, or should not be drawn.
Questions Of social organization and
population, for example; questions OF
foreign policy; questions Of government
in its relations to business; questions
Of political economy; questions OF GOOD
citizenship and the individuals duties
TO the community; questions OF Federal
enterprise in the way Of national i'm
provements intended for the benefit OF
all alike; and so on.
Indeed, in a broad and philosophical
application Of the Presidents theory,
as advanced by him at Louisville and
elsewhere, what public issue might not
be eliminated, by common consent,
from partisan politics as the term is at
present understood?
What question, save perhaps that OF
the offices and who shall occupy them?

moreover, seems 20 have sensibly inn

poetry and the love Of art are more
widely difiused In America than ever be-
fore, and Notwithstanding frequency OF
marital divorce, and other evils, the gem
eral moral standard Of the United States
appears 10 be, on the whole, higher than
that OF western Europe
The tranquil oomplacenoy with which
America awaits the future appears TO
Mr. BRYCE to be the normal attitude OF
the intelligent native American. This
is expressed in our belief that, barring
brief and exceptional lapse Of judgment,
the majority Of the qualified voters are
pretty sure TO be right. mo such feeling
exists in Europe, he AYERS, Americans
hold that America cannot be ruined.
The people may make small mistakes
but not great ones. The country is safe
in their hands. This deep seated opti-
mism is a political axiom which has
almost been consecrated as a religious
dogma ABRAHAM LINCOLN said the
same thing once, and more forcibly, but
it is worth while to be reminded OF it
now and then.
The Right Hon. JAMES BRYCE is right.
We beg to tsnder him respectful saluta-
tions, at the same time wishing, for the
sake OF all concerned, that he possessed
the inestimable privilege Of American
citizenship.

A Population Of 1000, 900.

This year the State will make an emu
meration Of its population, as required
by section 4 OF the third article Of the
Constitution. The count Of noses con-
Quoted by the Federal Government in
1900 showed that 7,26S 1914 persons were
living in the State then. OF these,
S.437, POP were residents Of New York
city. The Board of Health estimates the
population Of the city as Of July 1, 1905,
at 3,94s, 1911. This estimate, made by COM
petent and experienced statisticians, is
as accurate as such figures can be, and
the State census is not likely TO prove
it far from correct.
That is, the population Of New York
will have increased in five years by more
than $4,000 persons, a number greater
than the entire population Of any one OF
nine of the States in the Union. In all
the United States there are only five
cities that in 1900 contained populations
as great as that which has added itself to
New York since the Federal census. These
are New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, st.
Louis and Boston. Baltimore five years
ago had a population Of sos, 900
If the present rate Of increase keeps
up in New York, Jan. /, 1905, will find
1000, 900 and more inhabitants living
In Manhattan, Kings, The Bronx, Queens
and Richmond. Before the next Fed
eral census is taken many new trans
portation lines will have been constructed,
with the result that portions Of the city
now inaccessible for purposes Of resi-
dence will be made available for home
seekers. New York will have 1000, 900
population at the close Of 1905. What
will 1t have on July /, 1910?

Norway's Grievance A galnst swode en-

More than three columns Of the London
! Times we're allotted the other day TO a
| letter in which Mr.. FRIDTJoP NANsEN
explains the grounds on which the Nor
wegians feel aggrieved by their failure
20 secure a separate Consular service
for their country. The principal facts set
forth by him should receive attention,
for the controversy to which they relate
has reached an acute stage, and even
threatens a rupture of the union between
the two States comprised within the
Scandinavian peninsula.
Mr.. NANsEN begins by pointing out
that each Of the two States has its sepa-
rate "Grundlov, or fundamental organic
law. Everything that concerns the coun-
tries jointly Is embodied in a distinct
document, the "Rigsakt,' or treaty OF
union, which was concluded on Aug. 6,
1915. As the -RigsaSt' says not word
about Consuls, it follows that the two
countries are not bound by treaty TO
have them in common. On the other
hand, the Norwegian 'Grundlov,' or
Constitution, which previously to the
Union the Swedish King pledged him
self 70 uphold, does deal with the Consul
matter. 1t undoubtedly asserts Nor
ways right to have her own Consuls il
she desires them. The existence Of this
right has been repeatedly affirmed by
the Norwegian Executive and by the
Storthing, OF Norwegian Parliament.
The right, however, has been unexer-
cised A clause OF the Norwegian
"Grundlov' permitted foreigners to serve
as Consuls, and as Norway, at the time
Of the Union and long afterward, found
IL convenient 20 avail herself OF the
services Of Swedish Consuls a practical
partnership between the kingdoms in
this particular arose automatically, No
formal assent to partnership, however,
was ever given by Norway. On the con-
trary, her tacit acquiescence in an ar
rangement which for the time being
seemed convenient was more than once
accompanied by an explicit reservation
Of her right to appoint Consuls Of her
own, should she deem such a step e1-
pedient and wise.
The practical partnership in the matter
Of Consuls worked we'll enough until the
commercial interests Of the two ooun-
tries came into conflict, a. they did when
Sweden in the sos became a convert 20
high tariff principles, whereas Norway
has remained a country in which there is
a close approach to free trade. The re-
