and II was further stated The chief
argument in favor OF the provision was
that the congressman did not them

cret service men. and II was further
stated, But II this Is not considered
desirable special exception could be
made in the law prohibiting the use
OF the secret service force In investigat-

GUILTY OF CoUNTERFEITING

New-York tribune., 1908-02-08

which nearly all the other states have already
abandoned. II is one of the most patent facts
In poIitics that the choice of Presidents is being
committed more and more directly TO the people.
The first step toward the annuiment of the con-
stitutionai scheme of indirect choice was taken
when the electors were deprived of all original
| powers and made to carry out the will of party
Congressional caucuses and then of party pop
! ular conventions In the early days of the
national convention experiment the duty of nom
mating Presidents devolved almost entirely on
the politicians. During thee life of the Whs
party and while the slavery struggle lasted
most nominations were made on the narrow
basis of expediency and the politicians gathered
In convention were best qualified to determine
what concessions and compromises would be
most helpful in attracting voters In the many
close and doubtful states. The nation was only
half unified. and all kinds of sectional frictions
and antagonsms had to be overcome
The old system lasted through the war and
until 1876 or 1880 when the Republican party
discarded the vicious unit rule and proclaimed
the doctrine that each Congress district had the
right to decide for itself how its vote should be
cast In national conventions From that point
on the voters have gradually assumed larger
and larger share i'm the choice OF Candidates,
and in every Republican convention since 1883,
thanks to the increasing practice Of instruction,
the will of the party has easily been disclosed
long before the convention assembled Delegates
are delegates, not ambassadors clothed with high
and secret powers, and their function is best
discharged when they express in national con-
vention the clearly expressed will of their states
and districts. There IS, Of course, point at
which instructions break down, for it is the
conventions primary duty to select a Presiden-
tlai candidate But it is manifestly In the inter
est of good government that national delegates
should clearly know the wishes of the voters
whom they represent and sincerely try TO make
those wishes effective.

BENEEICENT-

Physicians commonly announce the theory
that disease IS beneficent. The symptoms Of
pain and distress that the patient suffers are
heroic struggles of nature to expel the evil, the
poison or the baeful bacteria. Perhaps disease
is beneficent in other ways The sick man is
often his own horrible example, as he contem-
plates his past defiance of hygienic rules, and
he surely serves as a warning to others who
have observed his habits and beheld their con-
sequences.
Perhaps. in view of present circumstances, 1t
would be reasonable to extend this theory and
say that financial disease is also benefiCent
Three or four high financiers who had won
great notoriety by their audacity were in con-
troll of chain of banks before the recent bust
ness infection broke out Their extraordinary
success was a constant temptation to others
to show an equal disregard Of financial by
eene. To-day with Indictments bankruptcy
and ruin. they point another moral. If they
may not themselves profit by the benefcent
warnings of financial disease, the community
certainly will. Disaster swept through their
chain of banks, suspension following suspen-
sion and, while there must be general regret for
the many innocent who are embarrassed through
trusting them the lesson would not be
pete if those institutions had escaped the con-
benefcent result of the suspensions should be
the warning of depositors to distrust banks
in the control Of audac0us spectators. The
city knows now and will not soon forget the
financial pace that kills.

GETTING RID OF PROPERTY.

That is an unusual if not unique, proposal
which is made by Senator Stone, of Missouri,
with respect TO the Philippine Islands 1t is
In effect that something less than six years
hence the United States shall ALLEVIATE that
large and most popuious part Of its territorial
possessions and incidentally force many of its
citizens into virtual expatriation. 1t requests
the President on the fifteenth anniversary of
our ACQUISITION of those islands to deliver the
control and possession of them to authorities
representing the people of the islands, includ-
ing all government property therein. and to
withdraw from them the military forces OF the
United States.
Hitherto there have been various proposals
TO acuuire additional territory in one way or
another but this is the first time, think.
that such a proposal has been made for getting
rid of the property of the United States. For
the Philippines of course. our property, just
as much Alaska or Arizona. Under the
treaty of December 10. 1893, the United States
did not merely establish its control over those
islands, senator Stone suggests, but il ac-
quired lawful. equitable. complete and perma-
nent possession and ownership of them. in fee
simple For that treaty explicitly declares that
Spain eeles l., the United States the archipel-
ago known as the Philippine Islands" Iust so

HARGIS.

James Hargis is dead. Crying for the mercy
which he never showed to his opponents, the
famous ruler of Breathitt County. Ky, was
consigned to his $500 coffin by the bullets
of his drunken son. And the country is called
upon to mourn the passing of Democrat OF the
old school whose career was marked from start
to finish by that "Jeffersonian simplicity which
so many Democrats preach but fail to practise
consistently, even Jefferson. himself failed
Hargis suffered under none Of the limitations
which tend to hold most men down to the dead
level Of commonplace Responsibility. He carried
out in all his relations with society the I'M
complicated, unaffected principle that first
thought is better than none at all. that the
major premise of every political syllogism Is
hair trigger. He loved to preserve in his imme-
date environment the good old times before the
world became sophisticated by the processes of
so-called civilization.
Others. untrue to first principles, have de-
scended to calm argument and scholastic hair
splitting on utterly undemocratic topics like
finance: they have even donned evening dress
and gone forth to lecture before the effeminate
aristocrats of the efete East. But while they
talked about rivers Of blood" Hargs made
those rivers flow. While they demanded the
execution of all malefactors who buy and sell
stocks on a margin the chief of the wild Ken
tucky tribe stationed his sharpshooters In way
side thickets and at the doors OF the court
houses to eliminate undesirable citizens. With
his passing a genter. less consistent age dawns
the Dark and Bloody Ground. After his
shining example has grown dim in the memory
of Kentuckians perhaps the might riders will
diSband through sheer lack of that murderous
enthusiasm which his living presence must have
aroused. For it is more than likely that prim-
tive morals have been perpetuated in Kentucky

AROUSED AT LAST.

We congratulate our Italian fellow citizens
on the enthusiasm and earnestness which they
dispayed last Thursday evening at the rousing
meeting in Park Row at which the Italian Wig
ilance Protective Association was organized.
Measured by It's platform, the new society should
prove to be even more valuable to the commu-
nifty than the white Hand" is to Chicago The
latter organization has only one purpose
namely bitter war against the criminals who
prey upon Italians under the guise Of Black
Handlers. The New York society has resolved TO
undertake besides this mission, the task of
overcoming the somewhat prevalent belief that
Italians are unworthy of citizenship. But per
haps the one programme includes the other.
There are criminals aplenty among every peo-
pie. but many Americans hold the opinion that
their Italian neighbors show inferOrity in a lack
of backbone" when attacked. 1t is hardly con-
ceivable that large colony of Americans, Eng
lishmen Germans or Frenchmen happily estab-
lished in a foreign country and well organized
socially through clubs, churches and newspapers
would endure daily assaults from blacknailers
for years without taking vigorous concerted ac-
ton against their torment0rs. Those who know
the history of the masses i'll the land Of the
Caesars slow to blame the Italians living
here for their supineness, but many persons,
taking daily occurrences at their face value
have come to feel measure of contempt for
tQose VINO tainely submit 10 Sucn outrageS.
The surest way to rehabilitate the Italians is
suppress bomb thrOwers through the activity
of private, secret detectives employed by private
Italian organizations similar to the one Just
formed. Police Commissioner Bingham pleads
for small high class secret service in his de-
partment 10 finish the work SO well begun by
Petrosno's inadequate squad. The suggestion
Is worth listening 10. but if 1t is followed to the
neglect of private effort our Latin fellow citizens
Will miss a rare opportunity 10 vindicate them
selves Many will continue to believe the Itai-
ian unworthy of American citizenship until be

PARSONS HELPS DECIDE DEBATE.
Affirmative Side of Question That Senators

be elected by the direct vote of the people was
the question at issue last night the 9th Assem-
