The Minority in Congress.

The minority of the Senate in selecting
leader has acted quite as wisely as the
minority of the House. Mr.. Culberson is
in every way worthy of the place, and
should fill it we'll. He lacks the large
experience that Mr. German possessed.
but. like the Maryland senator. is self
Centered, thoughtful. and diigent. The
respect in which he is held on both sides
of the chamber is an asset of great value.
His task will tax him. but at his age and
with his ambition he should welcome that.
In both houses. however. there is dis
position on the part OF the minority to
hobble its leader. Why make Mr.. Will
llams powerless in the matter of commit
tee assignments? Why should not the
Speaker be guided by him in the prem
;ses? Maybe he viii be, regardless of the
protest. Who should know better than
Mr.. Williams the value of his party asso-
ciatas and where they should be placed
in order TO insure the party the most
Sood? A leader should lead. but in order
TO do SD must have considerable author
ity. The democracy has been kicker
so long 1t is inclined to forget that there
must be head as we'll as heels.
The situation in the Senate Is slightly
different. but not sufficiently so to JUS
tify making Mr.. Culberson a nonentity
as to the party's committee dispositions
and steering program. In the very nature
of things he should have large voice
in choosing his lieutenants and directing
the courses to be taken. Otherwise he
might be. probably would be. reduced to
the terms of a mere executor All In
itiative, all real leadership. would be with
drawn from his commission. Being i'm
mediately done for, he might we'll wonder
what he was begun for.
These two selections should be very
welcome to Mr.. Bryan. They go far to
rob the talk about southern man for
President of it's small value. With the
south in the saddle in both houses of
Congress it is idle to say that she has
no voice in the democracy's national af-
fairs She has a good deal to say, and
through men who thoroughly represent
her views. And, what is more. should
Mr. Bryan reach the White House she
will sharely largely in the distribution
of the more important patronage. At
least two cabinet places would go to
her, not to mention diplomatic billets Of
high grade. for which many of her leaders
are well qualified. .-. ,...,.
The south is no stepchild in the demo-
cratic household. She makes her wants
known, and they are not few.

Aoki's Recall.

Far from being a token of hostility on
the part of the government at Toxic to-
ward the United States, the recall of Am
bassador Aoki from Washington may oe
regarded as q move toward even q better
understanding than now exists. Indeed,
any suggestion that this change in per-
sonnet indicates a strain in the relations
between the two countries is both silly
and dangerous. Anything which tends TO
sustain the absurd Idea that war between
the two countries is possibility has a
malevolent effect. 1t should be diScour-
aged in every quarter. A plain statement
Of the case should suffice 10 dispeil any
illusion that a cause for war exists.
Ambassador Aoki will return to Japan
for the best purpose Of diplomacy, to
make the situation in this country entire
Iy plain to his government. There are GER
tain phases Of the case which cannot have
not yet fully been understood by the
Toxic authorities. One of these is the
duality Of government In the United
States. the coordinate jurisdiction, SO to
speak. Of the federal and the state organt-
cations. Japan has never before had oc-
casion to study this aspect OF the An1eri-
can political situation. 1t is understood
that the retiring ambassador has paid
especial attention to this question and Is
therefore in a position to enfighten his
government on what has thus far proved
to be the only stumbling block in the path
Of a perfect understanding between the
countries.
If there were any acute issues involving
Japan and the United States Ambassador
Aoki's return to Toxic would probably
serve to lessen the strain. He has ac-
Quainted himself with our position, our
view of the federal responsibilities and
our temperament. he Of course knows
that the loose talk OF a few months ago
in which the word war figured conspic-
uously was merely the chatter Of ire
sponsibles. unacquainted with the case
and with nothing at stake. He knows. Of
course, that in the dispatching Of the feet
to the Pacific the United States has acted
squarely within its rights, and indeed in
obedience to its requirements and without
reference to any so-called Japanese ques-
ton.
1t should be possible for the home-soing
ambassador to persuade the jingoes Of his
own country that they are engaged in a
losing game in trying to foment the war
! spirit. IL AC Sdh S&1oS0 tuS 1dtelAy VI
their claim that Japan has grievance
against the United States he will have
served his country valuably by returning.
Ambassador Aoki has made an excellent
impression at this capital, as q man OF
keen intelligence and broad grasp Of this
situation. His study of the American peo-
pie has been facilitated by his earlier &C.
quaintance. 1t is to be hoped that his
successor will be as we'll qualified for the
post and will succeed as admirably.

THAT NEW LIQUOR LAW.
President of Liquor Dealers Says It is
 Not in Good Faith.

According to Frank P. Quinn, presi- dent of the State Liquor Dealers as- soclation, the new excise law provid ing for endorsing license applications was intended by it's framers only to annoy and harass liquor dealers. He explains that the law has no moral cause and that it will in no way les- sen the sale or consumption of liquor and calls attention to the fact that some years ago the same law was in eifect but was repealed when it's lack Of efficiency was discovered.
 The bill in mind provides that every application for a liquor license be sign ed with the names of five persons in the town in question who are both cit- lzens and taxpayers and who have not signed any other liquor application. It's result IS being already felt in that the Wild scramble for endorsers has begun and saloonkeepers are meeting with difficulty To have the good faith of the laws framers questioned is a new phase to the situation, and gives a hint as to the attitude of the liquor dealers in regard to it.
 The bill was passed in hurry on the last day of the session of the Leg islature, said Mr. Quinn, "and either It's framers wished to annoy without any other object or else failed to ap- preciate the futility of the law as af- tecting in any way the sale of ftquor. It isn't going to any more annoy us and think that there is no doubt that It will die just as the similar law did some years ago."
