NOMINATION BY FORGERY.

Can 1t be that Mr.. Hearst the great self-ad-
vertised champion Of white elections, is, after
all, as much Of a yellow sham in respect to
them as In respect to holding companies, tax
lodging corporations bosses and every other
item Of his demagogic programme? 1t is we'll
known, Of course, that last year some Of the
Municipal Ownership nominating petitions were
fraudulent, and the District Attorney prose-
cuted Hearst's guilty agents for the crime.
Now, If the allegations made to the Elections
Board are TO be believed, the Hearst Indepen-
dence League has been resorting to wholesale
forgery to place candidates on the official ballot
In the service Of Hearst.
AS the Independence League is a close cor
poration, absolutely controlled In all its work
ings by Hearsts dummy board Of directors
such frauds come squarely home for punish
ment to the head of the organization, accord
ing to Mr.. Hearst himself for he is continually
telling us that the offences of clerks giving re-
bates In railroad Office call for the imprison-
ment Of the president and directors. Mr.
Hearsts close corporation manages ali the de-
tails Of Independence League nominations and.
quite regardless Of the will OF the rank and
file Of the Hearst following In various districts,
the Gilsey House, clique Qncorporated) put up
men to be voted on in counties where not one
Of them resides. The leagues operations are
completely centralized, and if the law is being
violated and forgery committed In the name of
reform and pure elections It is because the
Hearstbund (incorporated) is ready to profit
by crime.
New-York tribune., 1906-10-22
THE CONGRESS CAMPAIGN.

Faint hopes are being expressed by Demo-
cratic correspondents at Washington that the
next House of Representatives will be Demo
cratic. 1t is a case largely of the wish being
father to the thought, for the Democratic party
in this campaign is merely sitting tight and
trusting to Providence. In nearly all the big
states-New York, Pennsylvania, Massachu-
setts, Illinois and Texas-local issues over
shadow everything else, and struggles for con-
troll of the party machinery have absorbed the
last ounce of party energy In the rest of the
country the Democratic organization is SOM
nolent. If a political revolution is at hand its
causes do not show on the surface.
We are not disposed to think that Republican
control In the lower branch of Congress is seri-
ously threatened. There must be losses the
Republican side, for the present majority Of
ia is abnormal. On the face of the apportion-
ment of 1901 the Republican majority should
be between thirty and forty. This year. with
the Democratic party disheartened and disor-
ganized, majority of sixty would not be sur
prising. In all former "off' years the Repub-
licans have suffered their chief losses in Massa-
chusetts NeY York, Pennsylvania and Illinois.
This fall the situation in Pennsylvania is unsat-
isfactory, for the old Quay machine is On trial,
and some of its nominees for Congress are op-
posed by candidates named by the Lincoln Re
publicans and Democrats. Probably half
ocrats and Fusionists. But in the other three
dangerous states the Democratic party is divided
while the Republican Is united and confident
It would be folly, considering the conditions in
this city, to predict the loss OF any district now
Republican in either Brooklyn or Manhattan.
The probabilities all point toward gains, not
losses. In Massachusetts, the Moran movement
has had a similarly disruptive effect on the
Democratic organization, and no losses Of seats
now held by Republicans are expected. In
Illinois under ordinary conditions the Democrats
should gain six or seven seats. But the Kill
kenny fight now raging among the Sullivan,
Dunno, Hearst and Bryan factions precludes
any united effort to capture a fair proportion
OF the states twenty-five districts.
In Missouri there will be, no doubt, reces-
sion from the high water mark Of 1904. Nine
of the sixteen Missouri members are now Re
publcans although in 1902 only one Republican
was elected. But in the South generally there
is practically no chance for Democratic gains,
and in the Northwest, the Rocky Mountain Sec
ton and the Coast states the Democratic organ
ization, skeletoniZed In 1904 by Judge Parker's
canvass, has had no time to recruit It's strength.
Nor have these sections the least quarrel with
President Roosevelt and the policies which he
has succeeded In embodying in legislation A
Democratic House in 1907 would be political
absurdity. The prophets who are faint heart
edly predicting Democratic success are merely
waiting for a miracle

EDUCATION FOR SELF GOVERNMENT.

The Lake Mohonk Conference last week, in
considering the policy of the United States tow
ard dependent peoples, said some good things
and intimated others not so good. ut should be
the aim of our government it said, "to de-
"velop these peoples by the processes of intel
"lectual moral and spiritual education into the
exercise of full, self governing citizenship,
whether they may be Indians, Porto Ricans
"or Filipinos." If there is any reason for hest
tating to agree with the fore part Of that state
ment, 1t is that it says our government Should
10 so instead Of saying-what is true-that IL IS
doing so. There is also a lack of definite
Ress as to what is meant by full, self-govern-,
ing citizenship phrase susceptible of several
meanings, some commendable and some quite
intolerable. We cannot for a moment admit
for example, that Filipinos or Porto Ricans
should ever become citizens Of the. United States
In the sense that the people of New York and
Virginia are for that would mean the admis-
sion of those islands as states of this Union
something which no man in his senses ought
ever to contemplate as possible. Yet Indians
are being admitted to such citizenship where
fore there seems to be some little incongruity
In bracketing them together with the Porto
Ricans and F1lipinos. There is politically rad
1cal difference, which should never be ignored
between those who live on this continent and
within the borders of this Union Of States and
those who live in our outlying possessions.
But the processes of intellectual moral and
spiritual education" which the Mohonk Confer
ence invoked and which our government has
long had under way are unquestionably In the
highest sense desirable, regardless of the uti-
mate political status of the communities con-
cerned, and this Mohonk demand for their con-
dnuance is far more zane and commendable
than the impatient demand which some bodies
have made for the prescription of specific date
when the F1lipinos shall be severed from their
connection with America and be turned loose TO
shift for themselves, though, indeed, this latter
error seems TO have been cherished to some
extent at Mohonk, as witness the phrases about
ultimate rights and possessions" The fact is
that the duties and burdens of to-day are sufti-
cient to occupy the whole attention both of the
American administrators and of these dependent
peoples, without any speculations concerning the
possible future DO the next thing is sound
advice, and the next thing is the "lntellectuaI
moral and spiritual education" OF these long
neglected peoples. Such education is not ONLY
profitable but Indispensable, no matter what
their status may be at some unknown future
time By II they will be best fitted TO remain as
wards Of this nation If that shall be their status
and Will also have the best possible preparation
Tor independence il ever that shall come In
them The essential thing is to develop the
highest possible civic standards among them

A FIXED STAR IN 4 BAD FIX.

Every day we wake up TO find that Mr. Hearst
Is some new sort Of corporation. 1t Is per-
fectly bewildering. No one can keep track of
the financial Mr.. Hydes that this antitrust DR.
Jekyll is. lie owns newspapers In all of the
principal cities OF the United States, and each
OF them, OF course, is at least one corporation
How many more corporations back In the
shadowland still lurk undiscovered behind each
-serviceable" newspaper corporation no one vet
knows. Presumably each newspaper has at
least a second or third line Of defence behind
which its ostensible proprietor can retreat from
the MANNED or the hbeled. That makes a good
round number of corporations
Then, In Massachusetts, California Indiana
Illinois and New York. well as perhaps In
other states, Mr.. Hearst has Independence
leagues, and we have lately learned that in this
state the league is a corporation Presumably
be has not been less fOrethoughtful In Califor-
MIA, Massachusetts Indiana and Illinois than
here and there IS at least one corporation
perhsps more. for each of these leagues Then
TO simplify his political business, a big Inde-
pendence holding company, organized In hos
pitable New Jersey, would conform to the ways
or high finance. We haven't vet uncovered the
independence holding company, but doubtless 1t
exists; in no other way could the financing of
independence throughout this broad Union he
economically carried out Furthermore since
Tie Hearst newspaper business and the Hearst
political business are essentially one-the pol
tics being only part of the advertising end of
the newspapers, or the newspapers being only
political posters, whichever way you look at it
since the two are one progressive business meth
DDS dictate consolidation into one great con-

was probably the worst Of them all. the Mahdl
Of the Soudan, 1t will be recalled that some civil
lied white men IN Europe gave three cheers
for him when they heard OF Gordon's death
and ragged against the 'bloodthirsty butcheries'
Of Kitchener in putting end to the infa-
mics of Omdurman. Nor should we forget the
sentimental twaddle which has been put forth
here at the news of the suppression OF gangs
of professional plunderers and murderers in the
Philippines.
The question where to draw the line between
cases which call for and which do not call for
intervention is, of course, delicate and impor-
tant There seems to be no hard and fast pre-
scription which can be infallibly applied for the
judging of any case nor does it appear to be
practicable to leave 1t to the common sense of
most" The deeds of the Turks In Bulgaria,
thirty-odd years ago, when exposed by Ameri-
can correspondents, were generally recognized
by the world as justifying intervention, and
Russia was applauded for going in to end them.
Yet Russia has herself since done as badly In
Armenia not to mention Kishineff Bialystok
and Siedlce. Nor would it become Americans
to be censorious toward other nations, seeing
what has occurred in this country-at Rock
Springs, for example-and at various "lynching
bees in the South and West There is, no
doubt radical difference between occasional
outbreaks of mob ferocity and the systematic
practices of a sovereign. Yet from the one to
the other the series of iniquties is so graded
that, as we have said, 1t is difficult to deter
mine where the line between Intervention and
non-intervention is to be drawn. The subject
is one governed by unwritten law and it calls
for the gravest and most scrupulous exercise of
power and for the most judicious temperament
on the part of those who act and of those who
merely observe and comment.
