THE GOrFRyOR,s WESTERN TRIP,

Governor Hughes will return from his West
ern trip with his prestige increased, if that IS
nosSihle in the case of one who already occu-
pies so high a place in the public eStnatioh
Every one will appreciate the sterling Repuh-
lcanisrn which led him, with a difficult cam
paign of his own upon his hands, to devote so
much of his time TO the service of the nauonal
ticket and the fine manhood which impelled nm
10 do this for q rival who had defeated his own
ambitions. Then, too, he will have the pres
tge of making a remarkably succeSSful anu
effective campaign in the West, for II Is gen
orally agreed that leaving out of consideration
Mr.. Taft himself Governor Hughes has been
the Republican party's best campaigner out
there He has everywhere aroused interest
and awakened admiration and he has made the
most telling speeches Of the campaign. one
thing that cannot fail 10 help the Governor III
home-besides, of course, that loyalty among
Republicans which his own brave and loEil
conrsa must arouse-one such thing is the gen
nine narsonal affection which the Western audi:
ences have shown for him. They found him
man of the people, as he is-"a NeSterneF porn

democracy the word Westerner implies Ihey
recognized him as one of their own kind and
liked him instantly in somewhat the same way

first sensed the qualities in Mr.. Roosevelt when
have made him so tremendously popular They
felt at once the underlying democracy in Mr..
Hughes's nature. and the correspondence OF The
Tribune saws the reserve in the Governor broke
down before the feeling of sympathy between
him and his auditors.
When he comes back here his New York audi
ences will do we'll to take him at the estimate
of the West and his experience on the stump
there will probably complete the Governors de-
velopment as a campaigner. We have heard
too much in this state of the Governors aloof-
ness of nature of his remoteness from the feel
inos and interests of the average man. Because
he has been a remarkably successful Governor,
resisting the temptations that prove too strong
for most men in public life. an uncOmpromiSlng
adherent to principle, a legend has been built
I'D Of an absurd and almost inhumanly cold
and distant personality. But the West at once
pierced through this imaginary conception and
found the real man. ''Westerner born East
a perfect democrat, man of the people, thor
oughly sympathetic. racy in speech, using popu-
lar language that went straight to the hearts
and minds of his auditors. 1t is safe to trust
the intuiti0ns of the West and forget the Old
Hughes legend the fgment of those who had
their own reasons for hating him, and TO like
Mr.. Hughes personally as much as you admire
him officially.

TURKEY And THE POWERS

Despite the fair and plausible words Of Bull

ceGed thar Turkey stands better than those
powers in the light OF truth and Justice The
fundamental fact, which no talk about .'dc fGct0
situations" and lofty. civilizing and political
objects can conceal or nullify. is that the action
Of Bulgaria in seiZing Eastern Runelia and as
sertinG Independence OF Turkey is a plain vio-
lation OF the Treaty of Berlin. and that the
action Of Austria-Hungary in annexing the
provinces Of Bosnia and Herzegovina is also
violation Of that treaty. Reference 10 the text
OF the treat is sufficient 10 demonstrate that

WHO TURNED THE TRICK?

Judge Parker has written to Us to say-we
printed his letter Tuesday-that be was not
responsible for the anti-commission plank or
the Rochester platform. We were not alone IN
being misinformed as TO his share in preparing
that document: for The New YORK World,
which is standing with Judge Parker this year
in supporting Mr.. Bryan on the Denver pat
form attributed to him a liberal share of the
preparation of the resolutions adopted at Roch-
ester But if Judge Parker did not condemn
at Rochester-except by passive acquescence-
what he approved of at Denver, who Is respon-
sible for the crossing of wires which put the
Democracy of New York on record as repudiat-
ing an important declaration of the nat1onaI
party, while at the same time pretending to IN
dorse the Denver platform without reservation!
We thought that Judge Parker was the most
competent man 10 intruSt with the task OF mar
monizng local and national party sentiment,
since he had been q deegate-at-large TO the
national convention and active member or
its resolutions committee. Probably few other
delegates at Rochester had a speaking aCquaint-
ance with the Denver platform. SO long as
Judge Parker remained inactive and non-lro-
testant it was possible to get through the reso-
lutions committee and the state convention the
insincere and ridiculous protest against govern
ment by commission 50 far as the regulation
Of public service corporations was concerned.
The great majority of the Rochester delegates
probably never knew that the Democratic Ma
tional Convention had taken exactly the oppo-
site attitude in demanding sweeping increase
of the powers of the federal Interstate Com
merce Commission. They were mised- by the
unconditional Endorsement of the Denver plat
form in the Introductory sentences of their
own and suspected no juggling with the gov
ernment by commission issue. Who imposed
on their ignorance and good nature: If Judge
Parker didn't who did?

ENEMIES Of BEER.

At the recent annual convention Of the United
States Brewmasters' Association Il good deal
was said about combating 1.-THE enemies of
beer The brewmasters and brewers tppar-
emily consider the organizations which are fight
ing to suppress alcoholism as the worst enemies
Of the brewing industry. Yet this is in some re-
spectS q mistaken conclusion.
Has ii never occurred 10 the brewing inter
ests that they hare themselves done much to
discredit their own product? Americans who
travel in Germany are impressed most forcibIv
with the vast superiority Of German over Amer
lean beers. One gets in every city and town Of
Germany beer which IS thoroughly wholesome
nutritive palatable and practically non alcoholic
1t is harmless beverage, agreeable and tonic
In its effects. Yet the traveller who returns
from Germany will invariably find the American
beer less palatable, stronger in alcohol lacking
in nutrment and often injurious in its after
effects.
In Germany the popular mind cannot associ-

is regarded rs no more noxious than cohee' TEA
or charged waters, and popular movements W
prohibit its manufacture and sale would l"eh
any inteligbe motive. Its consumption causes
no disorder or drunkenness ana ITS manuiacture
excites no hostility If the American brewers
turned out n product equally blameIess, would
they find so many persons complaining OF It's
sale? If they saw 10 it that their beer was as
pensed under conditions promotive OF oFder'
temperance and respect for law and public sen
timent. would they have to make common cause
with the manufacturers and sellers or strong
drink whose business IS demOralizing and needs
stringent regulation? In short, can the brewers
not themselves redeem their product from as
trust and confound its enemies by showing tnat
its use is neither dangerous nor discredlta0le'
and that II has nothing in common with the
harmful intoxcants against which popular SEN
timent is now aroused?

VERY MYSTERIOUS.

The ways of the city government are often
as mysterious as the ways of Providence, and
its methods of operation as far past under
standing. The legislative committee now en-
gagged in probing the financial condition Of the
municipality is doubtless prepared for many
surprises and we hope will not be Disconnected
by explanations whose chief feature is that
they do not explain. 1t had a puzzle of that
sort thrust on it last Monday by Controller
Metz who was trying TO show that whichever
way the city attempted to do business with con
tractors and supply dealers. ii would necessarily
get the short end of the bargain
Take an important transaction like buying
horse Iiniment for the many ailing steeds in the
stables Of the Street Cleaning Department. Mr.
Metz lamented the fact that if proposals for
liniment were published reputable dealers were
'-underbid by iObbers. who then worked off
lot of old and worthless liniment the city
ScyIa on the one hand and Charybdis on the
other The badgered municipality must either
pay high price for necessary of equine life or
else be defrauded on a low price contract and
burden its conscience besides with cruelty TO
deserving animals
1t seems to US. however. that there is a slight
flaw in the argument Why should the city not
insist on the liniment accepted from the job
bers'' being up TO specifications, and decline to
nav for II if found to be "old and worthless? I?
Probably that would constitute cruelty 10 con
tractors instead of to animals and the munich
paitv must he humanitarian at all hazards.
But perhaps we are unwise in attempting to
unravel the mysteries of local administration
Mr. Metz himself says it is visionary TO expect
the city 10 conduct its affairs as citizen would
nor T.riv-l h,ISi
