GOVERNOR HUGHESS "PURITANISM."

The reception which Governor Hughes has
had among the Germans in this city proves that
the effort Of the gamblers to create false impress
sion regarding him has failed. The Germans
have not been fooled by the cry Of the lawless
and the criminal about personal liberty" The
Governors own words TO them are assurance
enough Of his sympathy with those customs,
brought with them from the fatherland, which
they so jealousy regard:
I have had the pleasure Of spending many
happy days in Germany. That is true. Again
and again il has been my good fortune in vaca-
tion time, when free from the burdens of profes-
sional work. to seek the other side Of the At
lantic, and 1 have had many opportunities TO
become acquainted with German life, as well as
to become most interested in German ideals. 1
think I can fairly say that I in deep SYM
pathy with the simplicity, the absolute freedom
from restraint and the happy method Of seek
ing in a rational way the enJOyments Of life
which are COnspiCuOusly illustrated in the
home country Of Germany.
The Governors record on personal liberty" IS
clear. He has never attacked it. He may 'be
judged by what he says and what he has done.
The story that Mr.. Hughes is "intoerant,"
narrow" a "bigot," has been spread by the
gamblers who want gambling restored and by
the selfish interests that want the checks upon
their operations removed-by everybody who
wants to deceive the people into turning against
their best friend. Governor Hughes is intoler-
ant when a CRATER comes to him with a prop0-
sition. He is narrow when selfish interests
want special favors from him at the expense OF
the public He is q bigot TO those who want 10
exploit the people. He is a Puritan about gam
bling IN defiance Of the express mandate Of the
constitution. His conscience is very keen on
the subject of his duty 10 the people who elected
him. and that Is the sort Of Puritanism the pub
lie ought 10 like.

UR, TAFT ~ NEW YORK.

The enthusiastic welcome given to Mr.. Taft in
this city and the splendid impression which he
has made on all classes Of voters seem to set at
rest all doubts Of his being able to poll here
vote comparing favorably with the votes cast
for Mckinley in 1900 and Roosevelt in 1904
The trend OF events has greatly weakened the
power of the Democratic machines. The voters
are more intelligent. more independent and bet
ter protected than formerly. The new registra-
ton law promises to eliminate from 1900 to
10000 fraudulent votes. Coercion, intimidation
and repeating no longer contribute 10 solidify
the constituencies in which Tammany rule was
once almost undisputed
Mr. Tafts candidacy appeals TO New Workers
because it stands for progress, good government
and steady and secure national development.
His election will mean 4 revival of prosperity
and the lifting of the lowering clouds Of uncer-
tainty Democratic victory, on the contrary,
would mean unrest, irritation, lack of confidence
and the check 10 reviving business Of the threat
of reckless financial and tariff legislation The
citys best interests will be served by Mr.. Tafts
election and the intelligent voters of New York
realize that in working for that result they are
working for their own betterment, We do not
doubt that the Democratic majority here will
be held next week TO as low a figure as IT was
in 1904 or in 1900.

PRUDENCE IN PROPHECY.

Mr.. Bryan is getting prudent IN his prOphe-
cies. He said to the Might Workers League"
Tuesday morning that the COWS were not
going dry for four years if he was elected, at
which the throng cheered nightly with the
enthusiasm which is born of confidence.
The prediction was not as sensational as
some which he had made before with a far
greater degree Of cocksureness, but on the
whole it was a good deal safer We remember
that Mr. Bryan once prOphesied with the alb
solute certainty of a dead sure thing that
this country would be promptly plunged into
beggary and ruin if it did not adopt the free
coinage of silver at is TO |. But the prophecy
went a-glimmering before the oncoming of
the greatest prosperity the land had ever
known. -Four years later he tried again, with
the declaration that if his anti ti-imperasm
We're not approved and the Philippines were
not set adrift in a hurry we should all forget
how TO whistle THE Star Spangled Banner
and there would be no more firecrackers on the
Fourth of July. And that would-be adumhra-
ton Of the eternal yerities likewise Is "goned
afay IN de Ewigkeit"
But hope springs eternal in the prophets
breast. If he keeps predicting enough
things, some Of them will just have TO come
true. So, moistening his palms to take still
tighter grip upon the heart and core of things,
he cries aloud to the listening ears Of the
world his third, his latest his thus far supreme
vatcinatiOn, The cows are not going dry for
four years if l am elected!" Most circumspect
and prudent seer! Yet even in his prudence,
as in his other good qualities, he is by no means
original For what is this but a following of
the rule Of that earlier and greater philosopher
who said, Don't prophesy unless you know? +?
Still, despite our abiding confidence in the
established order of nature, we confess that
experience with Mr. Bryan's former predic-
tions would make us, in case of his election
just a little uneasy about the milk supply
New-York tribune., 1908-10-29
STILL DODGING.

Mr. Bryan plucked up courage enough on
Tuesday, when speaking 10 a labor meeting IN
Brooklyn, 20 discuss the labor injunction oues-
ton in some detail. But he did not muster suf-
fcient courage 10 say whether he indorsed Mr.
Gomperss contention that the Denver plat
form favors The legalization Of the blacklist
and the secondary boycott or whether he NJ
dorsed the opposite contention Of The Phila-
deiphia Record" and many others of his sup
porters that it does such thing. When it
came 10 declaring what the Denver labor In
junction plank really meant the Democratic
candidate was Just as evaslve as ever. He took
refuge IN mystifcati0ns and tried 10 cover up
his lack Of frankness with pettifogging arti-
fee.
Here is what Mr.. Bryan said, as reported by
"The Brooklyn Eagle:
We believe that the writ Of injunction ought
60 be limited SO that It shall not be used in a
labor dispute unless the conditions are such as
30 justify the issue Of the injunction If there
were no labor dispute. That is the language
Of our platform. The language was suggested
by the laboring men OF this country. Mr TAFT
says that this is subject to two opposite inter-
pretations. He is mistaken. He has had great
experience in the Interpretation OF language.
and have challenged him again and again 10
put two interpretations upon that. He cannot
Go IT. Il is only susceptible OF one inteTpreta-
tIon and that is that a labor dispute in itself IS
not q cause for the issuance of an injunction.
Now, the only ineligible thing in this ex-
PLANTATION is the misstatement that he has ehal-
!enged Mr. Taft 10 show shat the Denver dec
larafion is subject 10 two different interpreta-
tons" and that Mr.. Taft has not been able to
show that il has been. Or can be interpreted
In contradictory terms We have repeatedly
called attention 10 the fact that even Mr..
Bryan's followers are interpreting IL differ

sons on both sides. so that there have arisen IN
both countries suspicion and an animosity Tor
which there is no just ground.
The two great nations of Europe which
stand conspicuous for the fact that they never

Great Britain and Germany. There are pecul-
iarly strong reasons why they, of all nations
there should never be at war with each other !:
but there would be no good In trying to conceai
or to ignore the obvious fact that for some
years there has been more talk of war between
them than between any other two nations
The Emperors plain utterance should go FAR
toward revealing the hollowness and the
groundiessness of that talk, and we should
hope that it would also go far toward putting

Mr.. CASTRO'S REPLY.

Mr.. Castros reply to the demands OF the
Dutch government is more correct in tech
nical sense than 1t is judicious in a diplomatic
sense Thus, he declines to revoke his decree
prohibiting transshipment of goods for Venez-
uelan ports at Curacao, on the ground that he
had right TO issue it, as Holland herself adj
mits. That answer doubtless seems to him con-
elusive, and from a purely technical point of
view it is
But IN diplomacy something more than tech
nicalites must sometimes be taken into ac-
count Had Venezuela never granted the right
OF ransshipment at Curacao there would be no
offence In refusing it now. But the fact is that
she did long grant it and it was long enjoyed
ny Holland, and the revocation of It WAS de-
creed by Mr.. Castro a measure of reprsal
against Holland or against her colony. The
more diplomatic course would have been 10
offer TO withdraw the decree and 10 restore the
status quo ante on condition that Holland would
cOrrespOndlngly abate the causes of Venez-
uela's grievances, or to do so uncondltionaIlv
pending settlement of the cont, oyersy. and
then al a later date to give notice IN friendly
fashion of the withdrawal Of the right
Another part of his answer, even less iudi
clous, may be perceived in the preparations Cor
the military defence of La Guayra The suppo-
sltlon is that he means to offer military resist
ance 10 the expected naval demonstration of
the Dutch. 1t may be that his mountain bat
terles could cause trouble and loss 80 landing
parties, though even then their advantage would
be short lived. But It is by no means clear that
the Dutch have any thought of landing. With
her very efficient navy OF some sxscore or
more vessels of all classes Holland could easily
ENFORCE an effective blockade OF that and all
oLher venezuelan ports without seriously axpos-
Ing her ships TO fire from the forts. MAKING tho
tortihcauon of La Guhyra seem a piece OF
futile bcmbast
AS a conclusion to such an answer Mr.
Castros invitation to the Dutch government To
send confidential agent to Caracas to arrane.

"T'he Philadelphia Record" has vehemently
and Indignantly centended that it does not.
Why doesn't Mr.. Bryan interpret it in words
which his auditors can understand? He claims
that II is ''ony susceptible of one interpreta-
ton" but in giving that Interpretation he uses
the unintelligible words of the platform itself,
thus leaving the mystery as impenetrable as
ever.
What idea can Mr.. Bryan have in mind when
he saws: "a labor dispute in itself is not
cause for the issuance of an injunction" Ger
tainly no one would try TO enioin a labor dis
pute Injunctions may be asked the ground
that irreparebe injury is threatened TO some
ones property rights, not by the existence Of
dispute between two persons or interests, but
by unlawful measures which may be under
taken by one or both of the disputants in fur
therance of that dispute. The blacklist and
the secondary boycott with all their monstrous
cruelty and oppression TO innocent outNderS,
are such measures.
Mr.. Gompers favors the legaIizatiOn OF the
blacklist and the secondary boycott because he
wants TO increase the powers of the labor
unions at the expense Of the rest of the COM
munlty He is logical and straightforward in
his views. and he says that they prevailed in
the preparation of the Denver platform. Mr..
BRYAN wants the labor unionists 10 think that
those views prevailed, but he wants the rest
of the community to think that they did not
prevail The labor injunction plank was
drawn so artfully that il is really meaningless
in Itself and the Democratic candidate hides
behind its ambiguity when he is called upon to
give it an official Interpretation. Will he ever
recover his courage and tell the voters honestly
where he stands on the question of the black
list and the secondary boycott?
