OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

The waspish disposition which a little com
pany Of would-be politicians in New Jersey man
ifcSted during the recent campaign in that state
has apparently not only survived the election
but actually been intensified by (which IS not
strange. seeing that wasp is never more r
reconcilably vicious than when it has just had
good sousing with cold water. Now as then,
also. it is largely directed against the New
Idea movement and It's leaders. the former being
denounced rs Il futile failure and the latter as
weaklngs and traitors. We had supposed the
New Idea movement to have been pretty well
vindicated seeing that some of its chief prin-
cipleS have not only been adopted by the Repub-
lican party but also actually enact5-, into law,
and that its legislative candidates this year
were all handsomely elected. But perhaps the
wise men of East Orange know better.
Before election, 1t will be recalled, a New
Idea State Senator was made the object Of
furious, not to say infuriated. phllppics be
cause ne had ventured to act in his public ca
recr according to his own judgment and con
science. Now he is rallied against because. hav-
ing prevailed upon the Republican party TO
adopt his principles. he remained loyal to that
party and because he thus contributed toward
securing the election as Governor of the candl-
date Of that party. who couspicuously stood and
stands for the New Idea doctrines of civic
righteousness. For q man to seek to effect
reforms within an existing party, and to use
that party as a means of establishing the re-
forms throughout the commonwealth, Is to set
himself down as anathema. The only hope,
cries the East Orange Diogenes," is in third
party, and that coming third party. upon which
all our hopes of salvation hang, is the Socialist
party-of which party he naIvely adds that its
motto is Justice, not Charity" and its plat
form is the Sermon on the Mount climax of
incongruity which fancy not even Mr.. Alden
Freeman himself can easily surpass

and sheer cantankerousness of persons who pose

the sake of effectng real reforms as for that of

II is true that. in spite Of their having such dis
positions, wasps build cleverly designed nests,
of mud Of paper, but there are few habita-
tions more perishaDe which, are more gen
orally regarded as nuisances. The political
structures raised by their bipedal emulators are
of like construction, receive like regard and
meet a like fate.

THE 8oUrH AND THE PRESIDENCY.

There is something courageous and creditable
about the movement reported from Tennessee TO
secure for a Southerner the next Democratic
Presidential nomination 1t is courageous 10
propose an experiment which the Democratic
party has not made since 1914 and which it still
shrnks from, not so much on grounds of logic
on grounds Of shallow eXpedency The
South has been the hewer of wood and drawer
of wafer for the Democratic party for sixty
four years. IT has furnished on the average
20 10 - per cent Of that party's representation
In The Senate and House of Representatives and
ia the Electoral College 1t has dictated the
Democratic partys policies in Congress and in
national conventions. and il used the party first
10 protect slavery. then to try to break down
tie protective tariff system and finally to assail
tie country's standard of value. But all the
while il has hestated 10 offer for the Presidency
one Of its many brilliant leaders.
This self-e1acement has cost the South dear
for its politicians have come to look at the great
Office Of tie Presidency as n pawn TO be lightly
sacrificed in the game of national politics They

rHE LUSITANIA,S MAILS.

The decision of the American POstOffice De
partment to send the outgoing Saturday mails
by the Lusitania and Mauretania, when those
vessels are available has created favorable
impression abroad. An English weekly. The
Shipping World thinks that business men in
the United Kingdom will be grateful for the
change. The opinion is expressed by that pub
lication, however, that something should he
done by the British postal authorities to facli-
tate the departure of the westward bound
transatlantic mail so that 1t may be landed In
New York on Thursday night instead of Friday
morning.
Once since she began her service the Lusi-
tania reached Sandy Hook shortly after 10
p. m, and twice she arrived there after mid
night The latest delivery in the business dis
Iricts of this city begins at 4:3O, and some
thing like two hours is needed to prepare a
foreign mail at the general postofiice for dis
tribution. Unless mail steamship should get
to Sandy Hook by about l o'clock it would at
present be impossible to put any of her letters
in the hands of carriers in time TO insure de
livery downtown the same day A saving of
from nine to twelve hours is apparently neces-
sary to secure the full benefit Of an arrival
on Thursday. Half of this time will probably
hc gained when the Lusitania and Mauretania
maintain a speed of fully % knots for a whole
voyage. How much more it is feasible to
Complish by leaving Liverpool at an earlier
hour or by some other change in the system of
dispatch is II question more easily answered on
the other side of the Atlantic than in the
United States
The recipients of foreign letters, of course,
are quite much interested as the senders
in the adjustment of this matter. II there were
general and urgent request for later deliv-
cries downtown than there have been hitherto
provision for the additional service might be
made. Very likely the landing of mails late in
the afternoon of Thursday would be welcomed
in residence districts, hotels and morning news
paper offices. but it is not probable that mer
chants and bankers would see any great adj
vantage in the arrangement. Only in excep-
tional cases would they care to stay after the
usual business hours to examine their mail.
Certainly such letters called for a reply by
the Saturday steamship could be answered in
ample time if delivered on Friday Perhaps
the chief reason for encouraging the landing of
mails on Thursday afternoon is that it would
enable passengers 10 go ashore just so much
earlier.

TIE NEW HERO.

One of the most conspicuous temperamcntal
differences between Germanic and Latin peoples
is found in their respective attitudes toward
heroism and its reward. When a Frenchman
has rescued his wife's sealskin jacket from the
onslaught of fer0clouS moths he not only
knows that he is a hero but is determined to
receive due and suitable recognition from his
compariots. He files a petition for Legion of
Honor ribbon; and if the decorative symbol is
not forthcoming in season he threatens to go
North European, ON the other hand, loses seven
or eight limbs in an artillery battle and then
wonders why some old crOnies send flowers and
magazines up to his room in the army hospital.
When he gets well enough to be wheeled about
by an attendant he is immensely delighted if
everybody has forgotten about his exploits and
terribly embarrassed if a few people still in
sist upon mentioning them favOrably in his
presence Medals can be offered him only after
the consulting physicians have decided that the
shock of discomfort will not prove dangerous
Americans, being blend of all European
races, are developing new temperamental atti-
tude toward heroic men and deeds. The latest
case out in Illinois, shows how we are blindIy
struggling TO strike n happy medium between
the self-consciOus eagerness of the Latins and
the depressing sense of unworthiness that af-
hicts TeutOnic and AnglO-Saxm braves. A
miner who rsked his life for others has Just
been sued for $3.50 by his former attorney on
the ground that the latter succeeded in wringing
from the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission il
medal and $3.50 for the hero The mere Incl
dent that both the commission and a jury have
refused to support the attorneys case should
