He Must Cpsult the Greatest Con-
SENTATIVE Force.

Addressing the Alabama State Bar
Association on ~The Independence OF the
judiciary" the Hon. JUDsoN HARMON,
sometime Attorrey-G General Of the United
States, said:
II trust that the era OF bosses has passed
away. But even so | iope the time VIII come when
Judges Will be elected without the Intervention OF
parties. Then. with TENS long enough TO enable
the people 10 form a jug opinion Of the men who
administer justice in th6r name, we shall have a
judiciary as independent as It can be made. But
IL must always weaken confidence in our judiciary
to have Judges taking pan in political assemblies
or discussing In public questions upon which the
parties arc or may soon be n conflict"
1t is much too early for the reformers
to order their ascension robes. There
are bosses t o be smashed yet, and
scotched bosses that may revive.
Mr.. BRYAN is now the pope and head,
the heart, lungs, voice aid spirit Of. the
Democratic party. Frompver the water
he smiles in benediction In the faithful
millions who worship in him the radical

the impressive words Of he ST. Louis
Republic, he is "the greatestconservative

If memory holds her seat the Great
est Conservative Force would have Fed
eral Judges elected by the people. This
conservative method seems to require
"the Intervention of parties" The Hon.
JUpsoN HARMON means well, but he is
not conservative. enough. He needs

School for Professional Policemen.

When Commissioner BINoHAM's depu-
ties set forth on their travels they seem
to have little difficulty in discovering
and entering illegal resorts. where these
exist, although the professional police
men under their command have been
unable to do 80. Mr.. MATHoT's exploit
at Far Rockaway, where he played rou-
lette and caused the arrest Of the men
running the game, Is one OF a number
Of similar incidents that exhibit the new
deputies as more capable law enforcers
than are the old policemen.
None OF the deputy commissioners
follows intricate or difficult methods.
Each Of them pursues a system simple
and easy to be mastered. Perhaps even
the oldest policeman might learn its
details If he made vigorous efforts to
do so and had the opportunity.
Herein Is a hint for the strengthening
of the Police Department. Might not a
school for policemen be organized with
the young deputies as head masters
and the men who cannot identify a gam
bling house when they see it as pupils?
In such an institution the members Of the
department might be drilled in squads.
until all Of them could tell a roulette
game from a street evangelist's meeting
and a faro bank from a high hat. At
present a good many Of them give no
evidence OF being able to make such
determinations.

Trade with Mexico.

In a report on German trade with
Mexico, Consul HANNAH Of Maedeburg
shows that within the last thirty years
Germany's purchases from Mexico have
increased from $l,O05,8 1913 to $3.50 ,53S,
while Germany's sales to Mexico have
increased from $444,344 to SIS, ne, 1884.
Naturally, this increase has been made
possible through Mexico's remarkable
trade development. Yet England'sbusi-
ness with our neighbor has not kept
pace with that Of Germany. British
sales to Mexico in thirty years have risen
only from SO, 21s, 1897 to $18, 719, 1892.
As a competitor in this special field
Germany has shown marked activity
and has secured results. England has
plodded along without even holding
her percentage. The United States las
in the meantime made itself the mbst
important factor in Mexican trade
and commerce. American imports from
Mexico have increased In thirty years
from 81, ZOO, 900 to $50, 900, 900, and Ameh-
can sales to Mexico from s8,00O,O 600 to
nearly 100000 900.
In the struggle for Mexico's business
England is something Of a laggard, but
Germany is wide awake and persistent.
The special advantage Of the United
States is nearness, but Americans will
have to keep busy or German activity
may prove to be an Offset to their
natural advantages.

why Girl, join and Quit the Chorus

To THE EDITOR OF TIE SUN-ST: There are
many reasons for the scarcity OF chorus girls at
times. There will always be q few chorus girls
who are satisfied with their lot. and who may be
called the old reliables. There Is another class OF
girls who 60 on the stage. II includes we'll edu-
Gated girls, forced. perhaps suddenly. to earn their
living, who are unframed and incompetent for
business life. Money must be earned at once;
they have not the time or money to study In q ousi-
ness college or the courage 70 work as beginners
on q beginners salary In the shops. A girl OF In
telllgcnce and beauty or style can usually obtain
chorus work. The salary ranges nom SIS to $50
per week. This work enables a girl to travel and
10 stop at good hotels. She studies operas, cA-
preston, dancing. poise. &C., instead OF shaving
behind the counter In the city at Is per and living
In q hall bedroom. Many productions are re-
hcarsed several weeks without salary.
There are many good reasons why girls 90 on
the stage. There are Just as good reasons for thelr
quitting Il. A bright, good looking girl usually
gets married after a few seasons, for she Is placed
before the public and the right Fellow happens 70
sec her.
There Is prejudice against the chorus girl. and
she Is regarded as something without sense. mod
esty or morals. II one may Judge by the way she
Is spoken OF. There IA another very Important
reason. The paid Instructor OF the chorus Is usually
q man Of more stage cunning than education and
breeding, who considers II thoroughly unbecoming
TO his position 10 treat the chorus workers with
respect. Some OF these men shout and swear and
strike their canes on the floor In frenzy; some study
sarcasm and smart sayings. and mimic and ndicuie.
They often call girls by their surnames only. or by
nicknames. Move your long shanks lively" they
will say; or. "You haven't got no more ginger In
you than that chair"
The old reliables smile or look %penitent, according
TO what would most please the little car. Others
bite their lips and wonder how long they must
serve In the chorus. After q few seasons. II these
girls do not secure part" they quit the sta ge.
In all work one should rea'onaply expect to begin
at the bottom. but that means a very narrowing
epoch Of the stage woman's life.

French IAck springs.

One thing at a time and everything
in its turn! Why should the Hon.
THOMAS TAGdABT, chairman Of the
Democratic national committee, be K
pected to resign his dignifed and au-
t%horitative post because he has been
charged by the Governor OF Indiana with
completely in the unlawful operation OF
a gambling plant at French Lick
Springer
Chairman TAaaART denies the charge
with bitterness and sets forth that the
gambling at the casino was in spite OF
his protests, and that he is now, and has
long since been, engaged in litigation to
stop a nefarious business which is cor
rupting the youth of Indiana. Accord
ing to the complaint drawn by Attorney
General MILLER, persons Of tender age
were allowed to witness the play at The
roulette and faro tables and to patronize
the slot machines on the floor below.
In Justice to Mr.. TAGaART 1t should
be said that he washes his hands OF all
responsibility In the premises. He al
leges that he leased the building, raided
by order Of Governor HANLY on July 8,
to a tenant who was to use It for the
harmless amusements Of billiards and
bowling. After a time" says Chair
man TAdaART, this tenant permitted
gambling" The ohairman's remedy was
suit of custer. 1t was brought at once,
Judgment was recovered, but the incor-
rigible defendant appealed. Chairman
TAGaARTp points to the recordt to vindicate
him. If gambling was resumed pending
final adjudication, it is a matter, he CON-
tends, between the tenant who broke faith
with him and the State Of Indiana.
Such cases should be tried in court
and not in the political forum. Gov
ernor HANLY declares that the issue Is
not between him and Mr.. TAGdART, but
between those made defendants by the
action Of the Attorney-G General and the
State of Indiana. Both the chairman
and the Governor appeal to. the blind
g~oddess-of justice. This is right, for
the public is only confused by the briefs
90 ably argued from antipodean points
of view before the calling of the case in
court.
The present case has nothing to do
with the fitness of the Hon. THOMAS
TAaaART for the craftsmanship Of the
Democratic national committee. He is
as fit now as he ever was, and logically
resents any insinuations, limitations
and accusations to the contrary.

Russia stin In Suspense.

Although another week has passed,
and although every days delay tends
to strengthen the advanced radicals In
the national assembly, the Gear has not
yetmade up his mind to appoint a Minis
try possessing the confidence Of a ma
jority Of the Deputies. His indeoision
is the more surprising because General
TREpoFF, who has been regarded as the
most inflexible champion Of reaction,
expressed the opinion when interviewed
on Friday that the best solution of the
problem with which the sovereign is
confronted would be en- official reoog-
milton of the Constitutional Democrats
by the selection of their leaders to form
o Cabinet.
There is reason to believe that q week
ago certain overtures were made to the
Constitutional Democrats, and that the
members Of the party were convoked in
secret caucus to consider them. They
seem to have been limited, however, to
aproposal for the construction of a mixed
Cabinet, composed partly of Constitu-
tional Democrats and partly Of Conserva-
tives. Such a, transitional step might
find some advocates among the Consti-
tutional Democrats themselves, If the
suggested Ministry were drawn mainly
from their own ranks and partly from
the Centrists, who control the Council
OF the Empire and who have evinoed a
disposition to cooperate with the Duma.
Especially would such a mixed Ministry
commend itself If it were headed by
such a moderate but generally trusted
reformer as Mr.. SHIPoFF. Any COM
promise OF the kind, however, would DO
ephemeral, for the representatives Of
the Russian people are determined to
establish the principle Of Ministerial
accountability. They are impeled by
the sense of elf-preservation to take
this stand, for they know well that they
themselves will be held to o stern ac-
count, and that ifithey accomplish moth
ing theiy lives may pay the,forfeit. -
From the; 'sovefeign'ss point Of view

isting deadlock, which, giyes the Labor
group a FREQ hand and oauses the Duma

fashioned into ornaments by the aborigines. 4

that the metal was dug from Tarasca. The mine
