The Presidents Responsibility.

The action taken by the Senate on Mr.
Tillman's proposition of a Senate investtga-
ton of the Norris incident was the only
course possible. 1t is not for the Senate
but for the President to investigate He
shares this special responsibility with no
one.
The President was in no way responsible
for the original knock down and drag-out
performance, and had he been present 1t
Is certain that he would have peremptoriiy
put stop to 1t. The blame which attaches
to him in the matter rests upon his hasty,
inconsiderate Endorsement of the discredited
version of the affair sent out from the
White House, his insstence upon sustaining
this version, and his attempt to coerce the
press into acceptance of it in violation OF
what the newspapers knew or firmly be-
Heved to be the facts In the case
1t is still open to the President, uncoerced
by either Senate or House. to handle this
matter in a manner to meet the public ex-
pectsSion of "a square deal" If he finally
falls 10 act or speak and treats the Incident
as closed, he will profoundly dfsappoint the
American people, who with practically one
accord are now indicating their regret that
brutality toward a woman within the pre-
cincts of the White House should even seem
to be viewed with indifference by the Presi-
dent and should be permitted by him TO go
uninvestigated and unrebuked.

the once powerful and long dominant con-

the once powerful and long dominant con-
servatire-u naonist party.
Many Of the liberals have been elected
through the cooperation of the labor or
ganizations In districts where there have
been no distinct labor candidates. 1t re-
mains to be seen how far the Campbell
Bannerman ministry will take into account
this stratum of labor strength as a part OF
the liberal partys foundation. The labor
leaders have definite program to pro-
pose, and the liberal ministry. It IL being
freely predicted, will before long be COM
PEELED to choose between the radical propo-
sitions of their allies and the anti-radical
views Of the old-time supporters of liberal
ISM One of the proposals OF John Burns
and his followers Is the repeal Of the law
making all trades unions responsible in
law for the actions Of strikers. Upon this
biz, which will probably be one OF the most
important issues before the next house Of
commons, the present ministry, which in
cludes Burns as member, may split.
There Is a danger that the liberal majority
will grow to such point as to be unwieldy.
1t often calls for high capacity OF leader
ship to handle so large following. Whether
Campbell Bannerman is the man for this
task remains to be seen. He did not dis
play any remarkable qualities as leader Of
the minority during the years of his sue
cession to Lord Rosebery.

Ambassador Wright.

The President has made an admirable
choice in naming Gen. Luke Wright as the
first ambassador of the United States to
Japan. Gen. Wright has spent several years
in the Philippines, first as a member of the
commission, then as vice governor general
and finally as governor general. In those
successive capacities he demonstrated the
ability to grasp all questions and to reach
sound conclusions. His administration of
insular affairs since the return of Secretary
Taft to the mainland has been in every
way successful. incidentally during this ca
reer in the Philippines Gen. Wright has I'M
doubtedly made himself familiar with the
many phases of the far eastern question,
which has been so much in evidence before,
during and since the war between Russia
and Japan. From this eastern vantage
point of the United States our govern
ment kept closely In touch with the stu
alton throughout the war period, and our
first ambassador to Japan goes to his post
with an intimate knowledge Of the relation
ships which have resulted from the great
conflict.
1t will be of the utmost Importance to the
United States to have at Toxic during these
next few years man who knows the east,
who appreciates the value to this country
or the Philippines as a political, naval and
commercial outpost, who is acquainted with
the Chinese problem and who is also famH-
lar with the Japanese character. Ambassa-
dor Wright will possess all these qualifica-
tons. AT Manila he has had an opportunity
to know both the Chinese and the japanese
thoroughly and this knowledge will stand
him in good stead at Toxic. Furthermore,
his appointment may be regarded as a de-
served promotion in recognition of hard
work we'll done in trying circumstances.

Mr.. Bigelow in the Tolls.

Mr.. Bigelow is probably greatly sur
prised. In certain quarters conditions in
Panama and the management Of canal
matters down there had been so freely
censured that the topic must have seemed
safe and easy from his point of view
But, bless your SOUL here is an official de-
mand for names and dates and other an
noying things. The Senate actually wants
to know where the gentleman got his infor-
nation. or whatever that substance may be
called out of which his screed was woven.
Public curiosity may differ slightly from
that Of the inquistors who have Mr.. Bige-
low In hand. 1t is general in Its nature
1t would forgive the gentleman a few
names and dates for particulars respect
ing his trip to the isthmus-what moved
him to go. and why. after deciding upon
the journey, he gave himself so little time
on the ground. He is an old traveller, it Is
true, accustomed to digesting a continent
at a glance, and he sees through MILL
stones without the aid of spectacles.
But what took him to Panama? Was the
sthmus his objective when he left home?
Had he read so much about the canal In the
anti-administration newspapers that he felt
obliged as patriot, with thorough knowl-
edge of sanitation and engineering. to go
the benefit of his observations? Or was he
cruising in those waters. and finding he had
thirty minutes, or thirty-siX hours, to spare
the exact time has not yet been fxed-de-
cided to go ashore and give squint or two
at what the beggars were doing? If he
went as an authority on canal subjects his
stay was all too short; If as chance visit
or, putting into port while in the neighbor-
hood his screed was all too long, and too
circumstantial
Still, let it be remembered, Mr.. Bigelow
has performed a public service. So many
men have been Cabling about the canal in
an attempt to discourage the government
task there, or to play politics with the sub
ject, that it was time somebody processing
to know what he was talking about should
be politely but firmly solicited for few
facts. This distinction has come upon Mr..
Bigelow. and IL he falls down with the invi-
tation 1t may serve to moderate the unsup-
ported Impotence of others who are unable
to sleep nights for bemoaning the mess we
are in and adding to in the canal zone.

Standard Oil and the Courts.

From the New York Journal Of Commerce
The officers and counsel of the Standard
OIL Company. who are resisting the efforts
of the attorney general of Missouri to
gather evidence in this city regarding the
relation to that company of certain other
corporations alleged to be subsidiary to It,
do not seem to realize the kind of exhibit
ton they are making before the public OF
the whole country. Apart from any ques-
ton of dignity. prepriety or respect for
judicial proceeding or authority, this per-
Torrance produces on the public mind the
effect Of confession that the Standard On
Company is guilty Of all that is charged
against 1T In the way of defiance of the
laws of Missouri in maintaining a monopoly
in that state. The attitude assumed and
the conduct INDUCED in are not those OF
honorable and law-abiding men conscious
of rectitude and willing to submit to the
tests to which other citizens are subjected.
They are rather characteristic of criminals
who fear to face the tribunals of justice
and try to evade or elude their processes.

defiance or contempt
