THE BALLOT DECISION.

The reversal by the Court of Appeals OF the
Appellate Divisions decision TO the invalidity
OF multiple nomination petitions is hailed by Mr.
Hearst and his supporters as a decisive victory
for the Independence League. The league has
sought TO put the blame for the rejection OF the
nomination petitions OF numerous independent
and labor candidates for Congress, the State
Senate and the Assembly on the Election Com
missioners and the courts. II has denounced
as Outrageous last weeks slaughter Of would
be league nominees and heatedly protested that
the wholesale invaldation Of independent peti-
tons was not due TO negligence, intentional or
untntentonal, on the part OF the leagues elec-
ton lawyers. But the decision of the Court OF
Appeals does very little TO fortify this conten-
ton The Independence League secured a re-
versal IN six cases. But of the six nominees
who regain places on the league ballot five are
Democrats and only one is an independent. The
fruits Of the victory distributed five-sixths
to Tsmmany Hall and one-sixth TO the Inde-
pendence League corporation.
There is nothing IN this result to break the
force Of the charge that the league managers,
either through ignorance or with deliberate IN
tent, played into the hands Of Mr.. Murphy by
failing to prepare petitions which would meet
the requirements Of the election law. These
managers knew that their work would be sub
1ected to the sharpest scrutiny by Tammany's
counsel and that every technicality possible
would be urged TO discredt and outlaw the GER
tfcates sought by league candidates. If the
Hearst lawyers had been In dead earnest in car
rying the war against Tammany into the Con-
gress, Senate and Assembly districts they would
probably have studied the situation more care
fully and foreseen the snags which the local
Independence petitions have gone to wreck. 1t
is hard to avoid the conclusion that the league
ticket was sacrificed because it was thought ex-
pedent TO sacrifice IL. and TO sacrifice 1t In such
q way that the blame for the slaughter could
be shifted, If possible to the Board OF Elections
and the courts.
This pretence is now exposed, for though the
Cour: of Appeals admits the legitimacy Of null

view cases decided in the lower courts on ques-
tions OF fact. II the league managers failed to
establish the necessary facts before the Elections
Board and before the Supreme Court judges the
fault was theirs, and they cannot avoid respon-
sibiiity for their negligence and mismanagement.
The decision also makes 1t clear that the elec
ton laws should be amended so as to put
safer time limit on legal proceedings affecting
the official ballot. 1t appears that three million
ballots were contracted for by the Board OF
Elections to be delivered to-day. But the delay
in filing out the lists of candidates has made the
fulfilment of this contract impossible, and it is
unlikely that the printers can now complete
their task before Monday night or Tuesday
morning. This is too narrow margin for
safety. The voters right 10 vote should not be
put In jeopardy by eleventh-hour wrangles over
the preparation of the official ballot, and the
next Legislature would do well to guard against
a repetition of this years entanglements and
delays.

GERu4NY'S NEAT FAMINE.

Ihe reports Of few days ago Of the iVcreas-
ing use of horse meat and dog meat for food in
Germany give point TO the demand which is now
being vigorously pressed for such relaxation of
the prohibition against the importation Of
meats and livestock rs Will enable the people to
secure proper animal food at reasonable prices.
1t is urged that as Germany is distinctively an
industrial country it behooves her to give her
people the best possible food in order to main
tain them at the highest standard of physical
eiiiclency, and that Il vegetable diet. one in
cludlng only small modicum Of horse meat dog
meat or very poor beef, will not assure that end.
Inc grounds upon which mpOrtationS of cattle
or meat are prohibited are shown to be invalid.
One is that 1t would be impossible to dscrinl-
mate between healthy and diseased cattle and
that lmportations Of livestock would cause Ger
man nerds to be infected with all sorts of ills.
But practical experiments on the borders Of
Sllesla have demonstrated that effective dis.
elimination is not only possible and practicable
but quite easy. Another argument of the ex-
clusonists has been that importations of meat
would not lessen the cost to GERMANY But it is
pointed out that while good beef is selling at
10 cents pound In France and 10 cents in Nor
way, much poorer quality costs 20 cents in
Germany Again. while live oxen sell for 1914
cents a pound III London, they sell for 224 cents
IN Berlin; whence it is logically deduced that
eI'hei hiiportdtions would reduce the price In
Germany to figures at which people could afford
generally TO buy and eat meat Of good quality. or
they would not affect the price. and, therefore
would not lessen the profits Of the German cattle
raisers.
The fact is, Germany is In the unfortunate
position of great country which is not sufficient
unto itself. 1t cannot, or, at any rate does not
produce enough food to supply the wants of its
own people. For a long time protective laws
have given the agrarlans an ample opportunity
to increase the productive power Of the country to
an equality with the demands of the people, but
they have failed to do So and the conviction Ia
beginning to prevail that they cannot do so, and
that Germany must permanently depend upon
other lands for portion of her food supply. In
thstScase, itwoud seem to bepoorpolicy to- main

A CIVIL SERVICE REFORMER.

The reply sent by Mr.. Hughes to the ques-
ton addressed to him by the Civil Service
Reform Association IS frank and satisfactory
1t has behind 1t a record of sincere devotion
to the merit system that commands for his
declaration a confidence which will not he
given to Mr.. Hearst, even if after seeing
Mr.. Hughess letter he shall try to outdo it
in resoundng but belated phrases. Mr.. Hearst
has not yet replied to the Civil Service re-
formers. AS a partner of Murphy he might
find it difficult to do so. If he does finally an
swer, it will evidently be only because he
thinks it necessary to match Mr.. Hughes
When Mr.. Hughes says Il will do all in my
power to see that the Civil Service law is
upheld and enforced" there can be no doubt
that he means 1T. He has been member of
the Civil Service Reform Association since
January, 1901, and q member of the law and
executive committees since May, 1902 In
1902 he conducted before the Appellate Divis-
ion for the association, by arrangement with
the Attorney General, the litigation in the we'll
known Kings County cases, involving an at
tempt by spoismen to overthrow the county
classification and force the state commission
to make wholesale exemptions. That attempt
was defeated and the county service in every
part of the state was saved from demoraliza-
ton. For this work he received no pay. In
1904, both before the Mayor and the state COM
mission, he argued against the exemption of
the deputy tax commissioners in this city
Mayor Mcclellan granted the exemptions, but
Mr.. Hughes, by a brilliant argument in favor
OF classification according TO duties, not titles
secured veto by the state commission of this
attempt to seize patronage which might if sue
cessful, have led TO wholesale exemptions I'M
der cover Of the law allowing the exemption of
deputies. For this argument he received no
pay.
These services brought neither professional
nor political prestige Fame and popularity are
not the reward of the man who works to Sc
cure in detail the enforcement OF the Civil Ser
vice law. The impellng force with him who un-
dertakes it must be good citizenship and public
spirit rather than self-eXploitation. In these
activities, as in every other, Mr.. Hughes has
shown himself 4 sincere patriotic man quietly
doing his duty.
