II tho New Idea to Fall?

In the Republican primaries In Essex
county, New Jersey, to-day the fate Of
Senator EVERETT CoLBY's new idea
viii be settled. The machine which Mr..
Colby defeated three years ago has
set out to beat him for denomination
and to prevent any Of his followers from
getting their names on the ticket this
fall. II the !@new idea' Is defeated in
the county OF its birth 1t has small
chance Of surviving elsewhere.
Senator CoLBY's new idea Is de-
lightfully simple. 1t is merely anti
bossism and the divorce Of commercial
ism from politics. Mr.. COLBY has had
the misfortune to have 1t oonfounded
and involved with outside and alien
issues beyond the boundaries Of his
homo county, but in Essex it has been
kept free from such complications.
There the problem presented to the
Republican voters to-day Is plain and
easily answered. Their votes will de-
termine whether they want public
affairs administered for public ends or
manipulated for the qualification Of
private ambitions.
Do they prefer the old idea or the
new idea2

Tho "New" Bryan.

A number Of the Southern newspapers
Of the conservative kind are now
speaking of the New BRYAN and re-
calling themselves with ardent but mex
pensive speculations as to the results
If he had been as moderate and reasona-
bic In 1895 and 1900 as he 10 to-day. 1t
does not seem to occur to them that
he is cautious just now because the
public are weary and afraid Of the ideas
he advanced twelve years ago. Appar-
entity they do not reflect that he has
merely adjusted his utterances to the
current breeze without having abaA-
doned single one Of his original incen-
diary convictions.
The campaign is just opening, how
ever. We may get better light on
BRYAN later.
Supposing he help to illuminate the
New Mr.. BRYAN by answering this plain
question OF Mr.. TAFT:
If you were President and an ext
gency should arrive in which you were
to be called upon to exercise your dis
cretion affirmatively to maintain the
parity between gold and silver, Whdt
,could you do?'

We regret to report this esteemed
comet has returned to our southern
skies In Q mutilated and even dismem-
bered condition. Its tail was separated
from It's nucleus by a considerable dis
tance. A few observers were inclined
to doubt that 1t was the genuine Encke
comet, but these suspicious were wholly
,unwarranted. II Is the genuine article.
and Its strange aspect merely invites
renewed attention to another Of its
remarkable eccentricities. 1t Is seen
sometimes without o nucleus and again
without tail, and then upon its next
appearance itS various parts may be
seen to be properly reassembled. APP
parently the parts Of the comet grow
weary Of travelling together and 80
separate till social inclination brings
them together again.
We are rather fond OF this little comet
because 1t Is the regular attendant Of
our sun and is our most frequent visitor
among its kind. 1t is to comets what
Old Faithful Is to geysers. We hope
that upon it's next appearance it may be
seen to the north Of the equator, favor
that has often been extended to US, and
that its tail viii be where comets tail
really ought to be.

Encke's Comet Reappears.

This famous comet, which pays us
moro frequent visits than any other,
has come into view again in the SOUTH
ern hemisphere, and as usual is arous-
ing discussion among astronomers con-
corning its vagaries. 1t Last appeared
In 1905, and it usually gets around into
Our heavens IN about three and quar-
ter years after 1t has disappeared from
view. ...t
No comet Is visible IN our solar sys-
tenn except, when it is near the sun.
Professor BAcKLUND had calculated
that ENcKE's comet would reach Its
perihelion on April so, but either the
calculation was wrong or the advent Of
the visitor was delayed for some reason
or other, for it was not reported from
the Cape Town Observatory till May
Is, and it did not renew its acquaintance
with us in quite the part of the heavens
where it was expected to appear.
In fact, ENcKE's comet has slightly
changed its orbit again. ENCKE did
not discover the comet. for it was known
long before his time, but his name was
given to it because Of his long obser-
vations Of 1t and his determination Of
the period Of its recurrence. But
ENcKR knew before he died that he
could not pin his comet down to any
exact time for its temperance in our
skies, and in 1882 he declared that its
period was being gradually accelerated.
But according to the calculations this
year its latest period OF revolution has
been considerably retarded.

Tho Prescribed Soldier.

Incredible as II may appear, there
Is o growing impression that the
discipline inflicted on Col. WILL
lam F. STEWART Of the Coast Ar
tillery has been inspired by the
President and contrived by the
General STAFF. It would seem beyond
belief or understanding that these high
authorities are combined in an effort to
constrain this comparatively unim-
portant officer. II 1t be true, as is
quite possible, that after forty years Of
service he has developed tempera-
mental incapacity for command, surely
the brains and energy Of the organiza-
ton need not be concentrated in the
attempt to infict upon him unusual
and extraordinary coercion. The ques-
ton, as we understand 1t, is whether he
shall retire now with the rank and pay
of a Colonel or bold on until the moment
Of his retirement by law and then
retire with the rank and pay Of Briga-
der General. After all 1t is only a
matter Of a few hundreds Of dollars
a year. For some incomprehensible
reason Washington has resolved that
he shall not have this petty increase
of title and emoluinent.
On the other hand, Colonel STEWART
seems equally determined to stand by
his rights even to the extent of en-
during any capricious punishment that
may be inflicted on him. Evidently
there are no conditions provided by law
under which he can be deprived Of his
present status-unless indeed the re-
cent jueglery at Fort Huascan concocts
the pretext-and quite as evidently this
high minded Government does not pro-
pose to abate one jot Of its power and
opportunity. 1t seems miserably sor-
did struggle over a thoroughly con-
temptible point in which the intelligible
stubbornness of Colonel STEWART is
confronted by the wholly unintelligible
stubbornness Of his superiors.
Certainly this constitutes spectacle
Of which the United States should be
ashamed and for which the American
people may be pardoned for blushing.
The lettre de cdchet was supposed to have
been abolished century or more ago.
Apparently. however, it has found a
particularly ugly revival in the case Of
Colonel WILLIAM p. STEWART.

Let Foraker Have a Fair Field for
His Fight for Political Life.

Mr.. FoBAKER's term in the Senate
ends next March. Yesterday he was
reported as having determined to con-
tinue his campaign for reelection, in
spite of the incident wrought by Mr..
Wu1LAM r. HEARsT, and he has told
his friends that be will begin that cam
paign at proper and convenient time
by making a speech in answer to the
charge Of venality and servility made or
implied in the chronological arrange
mont Of the Standard Oil letters pre-
sented by Mr.. HEARST.
q. We are not only sure that he will get
an attentive hearing from the Ameri-
can people; we are also sure that by
every reasonable and just formation Of
public opinion he is entitled to suspen-
eion of judgment until the very last
words Of his defence have been uttered.
Whatever we may think of the gravity
OF Mr.. FoRAKBR's predicament, as the
one sided case stands to-day, we must
remember that in this country men are
not sentenced to death, exile or dis
honor or to forcible deprivation Of any
thing precious to themselves and valua-
BILE in the eyes Of the world until after
the; completion Of the process Of weigh
ing against a definitely formulated accu-
sation the full and deliberately prepared
reply. The right is common even to
the worst of citizens to be heard before
they are condemned and thrust aside.
Mr.. FoRAKER's declared willingness
to stake his political future on this
proposed explanation Of his exact
relations with a concern 80 generally
unpopular as is the Standard Oil Com
pany Is what we might expect Of the
mans known courage. It is also likely
to promote public disposition to wait
and listen candidly to what he may
have to say. The Senator is no chicken.
He is no optimistic youngster. He has
had vast and varied experience Of the
huidity Of political opinion and some
personal knowledge even Of the man
ner- in which scandalous revelations
affect the public mind. He is clear
headed lawyer and connoisseur Of the
phenomena of cause and effect. Nobody
understands better the certainty Of dis
aster to himself il he assumes defiant
attitude and then proceeds to emit an
Inadequate or only partially satisfac-
tory defence.
Why not wait for what Senator FORA
KER has to say?
Instead of striking prematurely and
perhaps unjustly, suppose we try to
emulate Mr.. TAFT's sentiment-4H it
would win me every vote in the United
States I cannot hit FORAKER when he
II down"-or words to that effect. The
sentiment itself, we are bound to say,
10 more characteristic Of that generous
and charitable soul than the extensive
PRONUNCIATION Of the sentiment for cam
paign purposes. For the wide publicity
Of these good words MIR. TAFT cannot
be held responsible, and perhaps what
be really said was not exactly that,
Bot this:
IF 1t would win me every vote In the
United States i cannot hit FORAKER by
advertising him as down until I really
know that he is down.

PRIMARY AND BALLOT REFORM.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: The

lican State convention may be ascribed by

historians. and with some apparent reason.
to the direct Intervention Of the President,
the Presidential candidate and their per-
sonal representatives. But this manifesto
tion Of enlightened selhshness by our Wise
and benevolent despot was not q cause but
an effect. Had our shrevd and not very
finicky national and State leaders deemed
it any way safe to ignore the demands
OF a hundred thousand or more Justly
Hughes would never have been renomi-
mated. but II was Q serious matter to
face the almost certain defeat Of the STATE
ticket. which might have involved the
national ticket as well.
Nobody took any stock In the assertion
Of the bosses that the sentiment Of o ms
jority Of the people or even that Of ma.
jority OF Republicans was opposed TO ths
Governor. The reports of tho public pyess
proved the contrary. But In 90 far % che
sentiment Of the delegates assembled In
Saratoga was opposed to the renominatioa
of Hughes. in 80 far did they misrspreseni
