MIR. HrARsr,s DEFEAT.

Views of the Press on the Result of
 New York Election.
 New York Sun.
 what has the Republican party done for Hughes? Nothing. It advanced the use of its name and reluctant nomi- nation. But he has been elected Gov ernor of the State of New York Yes he has been elected Governor of the State of New York in spite or tne lst., Ke- publican Party. Even the stupidity and futility of Woodruff and his in- competent, apathetic gang have not availed to defeat Hughes. The party IS rocking with leaders whenever there is graft in the air, but what has a lead CT done for the lonely figure that has beaten the State into decency and com mon sense? Not a thing. Not one of them has raised finger in his be- half. It looks as if only their lack of courage kept them from openly join ing the party of Murphy, Hearst and the Devil!
 Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 Hearst seized the opportunity and will be discouraging to Hearst end like demagogues. New York and the nation are to be congratulated on be- ing delivered from the odium of Hearst New York Times
 plurality of e5,OO0 against Mir Hearst is not enough. When we consid- CT the nature of the issue his candi- dacy presented to million and a half voters 1t is a mere tr1e, hardly to be looked upon as clearly decisive of the peoples thought and will.

 Baltimore Sun.
 The thoughtful observer of the po- litical and economic conditions which have been emphasized in the eXtraor- dinary contest in New York will not be led to the conclusion that because Mir. Hearst has been defeated, therefore the popular demand for a redress of grievances Las received its deathblow Such a conclusion would indicate a strange lack of perception and an all most inconceivabIe ignorance of the strength of the popular demand for re- form.
 New York Evening Mail.
 It is a new thing for William Ran dolph Hearst to appear away in the rear of men running on the same ticket Thanks to his pocketbOok. he led the party poll in his two contest for Con- gress by so long margin as to en- able Arthur Brisbane to figure out a majority of several millions for him as a Presidential candidate. Last year he led his two colleagues in the city fight, Stokes by 10000 and Ford by
 This year he has been made sharply to feel that his money his organi- zation and the cause he parodied may be welcomed by Democrats, but that his personality is not. It Is a drag, liability.
 Democrats in other States have done to Hearstism and the several. Hearst dummies, just what Democrats have done here. In Massachusetts the Hearstits Moran changed a situation which the Democrats considered very hopeful into sure defeat. Because he Is recognized as man after Hearst's heart. he runs 10000 votes behind his own ticket. In Illinois the Hearst tick nia, where again the Democrats hold 1t against this man that ha hoodooed situation full of promise,
 From the hands of his fellow Demo- crats yesterday Hearst the Man re- ceived the first installment of a long, nostnoned reckoning.

Rhode Island is slipping from Re- publican. grasp. The Democrats cleo ted their candidate for Governor. one of the two Congressman and a largely increased number of l.embers of the Legislature at the recent election. The State has frequently done this in re- cent years, but there are special req sons for believing that a permanent change is likely to take place. It is a revolt against the bossism of the Brayton machine and is llso due to the ever increasing demand for a re- vision of the constitution of the State, to which the heretofore dominant forces have been stubbornly opposed In politics, as elsewhere, it is a long lane which has no turning. It is cal eulated to break down party when it's leaders insist upon policy which gives to1a city like Providence with it's 26O,00O population no more representa- tlon in the Legislature than a mere village with a few hundred people. The same system is in vogue in Conneeti- cut.

It was cold blooded partisanism that prompted the Republicans in Congress to try and attach Arizona and New Mexico to Oklahoma and Indian Ter ritory and bring them all into the un- ion as one State. They feared Demo- cratic ascendancy in Arizona and New Mexico alone. Results prove that they reckoned without their host as to Okla homa, for the Democrats will control the convention in the new State and 1t will come into the union under Dem ocratic auspices As arizona voted against Statehood with new Mexico 1t Is not likely any steps towards forming another State will be taken by the Sixtieth Congress.

Discussing the juvenile court bill, Wnlcn VIII be presented to the next Le4islature, Mir. DeJalma s. Hausman terested in the bill said:
 The feature of the bill that has re- ceived most notice is the separation Of Juvenile from adult criminals. This IS decided advance in the crimina. aoministration& The promiscuous mix lnk or these two classes tends more, perhaps. than any other cause. to in-.
 But to my mind, this is not by any means the most important feature ot the Dill. The probation officer clause iS tne most Important paragraph Of the pliI, and, when rightly employed, will De Lound most excellent in it's results.
 Then, too, the paragraph of the bill that has reference to fixing the respon- sibility for parents for the caring of their children Is an indispensable ad- Junct of he bill, and has been found CT great benefit in other States where Ine law IS in force. Unfortunately, after their children, sometimes allow them to go around the streets, begging. or uisposing of sundry articles, and eyer, even allowing them to be charge upon the public. Paragraph 15 deals especially with this class and makes it possible In the same proceeding for the court to determine If the parent cat provide for the child, and In the event that t can. fixes the responsibility. regard this as one of the most import ant features of the bill

Two days after the recent, election MT. Hearst announced in his New York paper. The American. that he was in the fight to stay" He did not say whether he would fight as a Democrat or as an Independent Leaguer. Nor did he say whether he would do his fighting as an editor or as a candidate. If he meant the former and will con centrate his energies and influence in behalf of the Democratic party he may be instrumental in accomplishing great good. If the latter, and he puts him self at the head of organizations hos tile to the Democracy. he will do great deal of harm. His power. either way, cannot be doubted or denied

A PuzzLER.

Among the many interesting com ments on the San Francisco school af- fair the following from The New Bed ford Standard strikes us as interest ing.
 The prospect is held out that if the action of the San Francisco school board with respect to the exclusion of Japanese children from the schools Of that city is in accordance, as is claimed, with the State law, then the law of Caitfornfa must be tested in the Higher courts. Tn that case the and justice are confident that the State law will be declared unconstitutional. Perhaps that is the fact; but there be pleasant for any administration to contemplate. That is, that while dis crimination against the alien in this matter of schooling may not be al- lowed, discrimination against native citizens Is permissible. This latter dis crimination is practiced by the federal government itself in it's schools in the District of Columbia, and by the gov ernments of several States with the approval, or at any rate not the dis The situation that is likely to arise will not be easy to handle satisfac- torily.
 Here are some decidedly interesting possibilities, not to say probabilities. Let US suppose in the rIrst place that the highest federal courts should hold that the action of the San Francisco authorities is unconstitutional Then, as we understand it, it will be the duty of the government to set aside the action of that school board and enforce the admission of the Japanese children into the white schools. Well and good, but what must follow? Say ing nothing of the schools in the Dis triet of Columbia, is 1t not plain that if California cannot separate the races in the public schools no other State in the union can do so? That is a perfectly logical argument. If whites and Japanese cannot be separated in California the whites and negroes can not be separated in Alabama. One Is a natural sequence of the other.
 If that is admitted. as 1t must be, will the federal government undertake to set aside and abrogate all the State laws on the subject? We fail to see how 1t can do otherwise, once it es- tablishes a precedent. and we equally fail to see how 1t could carry out such a program. In short. if the federal courts decide against California they must decide against all other States which separate races and the govern ment must enforce the decision of the courts. How will it go about it?
