Reynolds at the Helm.

Washington's loss for a lew weeks
is the temporary gain Of the Repub-
lican Bay State committee. Assistant
United States Treasurer Reynolds,
whose signature is at once the iov
and pride of all who visit the Capital
for the purpose of collecting auto
graphs and other curios, is on deck
again, doing what he can in his
cheerful way to prove that the poor
old State committee is a machine
and not a she'll
Mr.. Reynolds is a convincing con-
versationalist. He knows all Of the
Republican statesmen in Massachu-
setts, all of the politicians, and
many who are neither statesmen
nor politicians, but who labor under
the delusion that they are both. He
is now in touch with the leaders of
the party from Boston 10 Berkshire,
he is feeling the public pulse. and
he is applying those remedies which
he, as a wise practitioner, can heart
lily recommend.
Reynolds should be an important
factor of the State committee in
stead of a responsible part Of the
United States Treasury Department.
II is true that there are not enough
Reynolds of his type and class to
make a fun committee, but, given
charge, he could train and educate
his fellows. 1t would require time,
but raw material of his selection
would be better, of course. than
much of the seasoned product now
available. When the inevitable re
organization of the committee takes
place, Assistant Treasurer Reynolds
should be draFter Unusual as it
may be, the fact that he is a gifted
tall1er does not jetract from his
ability 10 do things.

Some Interesting Figures.

Every American man and woman
who has been through the graded
schools has taken OF his hat or
made her low bow to that wonder
ful mathematician who calculates
the value of the pins lost in a year.
He bursts upon us every spring and
we listen to his song in growing
wonder, absorption, confusion, and
obflscation. Then we turn to Shell
ly or Sir John Lubbock and forget
our troubles over the national
wealth represented in fugitive pins.
Now a man has come to light in
the columns of Judge who puts our
lost pin expert far in the shade.
This is how he begins:
If all the money saved annually by
the women of the United States at the
among the "a. 80 turpeutiue farmers and
laborers in the United States each
would receive $5lNAZl or 3 more than
the value of the vote Of Vermont at $40
d vote and there would be a balance OF
S5S12, which would be enough 10 buy
each OF the 1853 camels in Western
Australia "a nose-ring worth 4 cents.
There YOU are. There's ingenuity
in that fellows mind. And then,
for fear the men may not be inter
ested either in bargain savings or
turpentine farmers, he goes on:
If an the stogies made in Wheeling
w Va, in April and May. 1904. were
rolled into one sUOgie IL would be 1881 10
inches long. 6.3if inches thick. and
man would have 90 have jaw S.166

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER IT, 1906.
Cuba'S Judicial Experience.

The judges of the Cuban supreme
court have presented, at the first
opportunity, a petition 10 Governor
MagOon, asking his. influence in be-
half of legislation TO unfetter the
judicial branch Of the islands gov
lrnment,
In all the analyses of the troubles
which swept the island TO the point
Of revolution, this matter of the
judiciary has been put foremost.
The complaint was urged by the
revolutionary leaders and sympa-
MIXERS that the courts were a mere
shadow of the executive govern
ment, and that elections were hope
,essly corrupt and controlled by the
Havana administration. Thus, il
VAS said, the intimidation of the
judiciary and the suppression of a
free ballot had together brought
about complete dominance by the
executive department. The theory
that the legislative, executive, and
judicial departments of government
must be independent in order to
maintain in security democratic in
stitutions, was held to be sadly
violated
The chief protest of thoughtful
Cubans seems to have been against
the status of the judiciary. Gov
ernor Nagoon at the very outset is
urged 10 secure measures that will
restore il TO a status of self-re-
specting independence. 1t is report
ed 70 have been absolutely subject
TO the influence of the executive
branch. 1t is said that the govern
ment has never vet lost in a case.
Cuba's situation points a moral
which is re-enforced by a glance at
New York politics Just now. The
fight for control of the nominations
for the supreme court from New
York and Kings counties may vet
prove the pivot on which the result
of the years contest in the State
Will turn Powerful political and
business interests frankly consider
the control pf this judicial situation
of more Importance than the cleo
tion or defeat of a particular State
ticket. Accusation is freely made
that particular sets of candidates,
created by particular political
fO~ces, viii, if elected, employ the
judicial position to further the con-
Germs of their creators.
The prostitution of the judiciary
TO political purposes is altogether
bad, whether in Cuba or in New
York There is a tendency TO pro-
test against The life tenure of Fed
eral judges in this country, though
not SO strong as il was a few years
ago. Such illustrations as Cuba has
afforded of the workings of a polit-
ical Judiciary viii strengthen the
case for our own Federal plan.

Senator Stones Sadness.

"Gumshoe BnT' Stone, Senator
from the great State of Missouri,
appears to be in a sad state of the
creeps these days because of the al
most universal respect and admira-
tion felt by the American people for
Theodore Roosevelt, President of
the United States. To "Gumshoe's'
Mortified SOUL this hearty liking for
hearty and honest man is debas-
ing" something that argues lack Of
independence and autonomy on the
part of the citizens of this nation.
If one were to believe as sincere
all that the Senator said in a speech
at Sedalia the other day, he would
have TO admit that the Anssourian
can scarcely see any further hope
in our situation. At any rate, this
is part of what he uttered:
Republicans tell us that Roosevelt is
the issue In this campaign They present
hlm-the man Roosevelt. the President
as one commanding subject of immedi-
aNe interest and present public concern.
II Is Roosevelt, nothing but Roosevelt.
I4It cannon Foraker and all the
others. great and small, sing the one
asII-saine song IN chorus with an ever
rising infection
There is no Republican party any
longer The old domineering militant or
SANITATION LED by Blaine and Hanna.
Whlcn stood for ideas, not men, has been
engulfed, swallowed up by this mad, on
rushing craze for Roosevelt
So it is ''man worship" to approve
of the doings of Il great. a virile.
and an honorable President? If
that be so, nine-tenths of the people
Of the United States are guilty of
that awful crime. As a matter of
fact, the citizens Of this country
have not "debased," but have really
honored themselves in honoring a
man of the type of Theodore Roose-
velt.
They perceive that he has lone
great things; that he has conducted
his office with a single eye to the
welfare OF the United States and of
the world. They are proud to
acknowledge his pre-eminence in the
councils of the great all over the
earth and they are prefectly willing
to continue TO run the risk of Cum
shoe Bills" displeasure and keep on
admiring and praising the most
popular President the United States
ever had.
Senator Stone is not happy in his
mentioning of names. If he were
70 go back a little in the history OF
the Republican party, he would find
that its predecessor was accused of
just such idolatry in its admiration
for Henry Clay. He refers to James
q. Blaine, and in that reference
makes his argument futile and alb
surd. for if there ever was a man
more intensely worshiped by great
part of the Republican party than
was that gallant "plumed knight, "
history is silent on the matter.
On the whole, we DO not believe
that Senator Stone is so terribly
concerned about the "debasing" of
the Republican party as he pro-
fesses- We are pretty sure that he
has a sneaking fondness for Theo-
dore Roosevelt himself, and that the
only reason for his peculiar out
burst at Sedalia is the quite impor-
tant fact that he is a Democrat.
