The passing of Bette" Taylor Bliss
cambridge, the last surviving daugh-
ter of the Mexican war hero and the
only Louisianian ever elected to the
presidency, recalls flood of memo
ries of the olden days, and is of par
ticular interest to this section not
only because her distinguished faith
er was from Louisiana, but because
her family was allied to that of Jeffer-
son Davis, to the Stauffers of New
Orleans, Trists, Woods, Pendletons
and Dudleys, and further back, to the
Washingtons and Curtises of Virgin
it, and "Betty's' brother was the dash
ing Lieutenant General "Dick" Tay-
lor of the Confederate army.

lucky in 1924, when her father then
lieutenant colonel had headquarters
at Louisville. She was educated in
the East. and in 1913 she married her
fathers adiutant in the Mexican cam
paign. Colonel w. w. S. Bliss. and
when her father was elected to the
presidency she became mistress of the
White House, all the social duties of
the executive mansion devolving up
on the young chatelaine because of
the invilidity of her mother
Mrs. Bliss was married in 1858 to
Philip Pendleton cambridge of Win
chester, who was afterwards an at
tache in the executive offices of the
Confederacy. Since the death of her
second husband, Mrs. cambridge lived
in retirement at Winchester. Her

BTIG4RT4S BLISTER.

The mobilization Of the Bulgarian army
seems reasonably applicable one % only
TWO grounds Either that country is assured
Of the support of some strong ally or il CHER
ishes the hope that if IL should start war
and was worSted in il the powers would inter
vene 10 save il from serious harm. Il Will be
well not TO be too confident Of the latter theory.
The great powers are not always inclined 10
put themselves 10 trouble and expense 10 save
a peryerse and obStrepereus state from the con-
sequences Of its own indiscTetion- They might
decide 10 Ter the Bulgarians stew in their own
juice IN that case the brand new King. En-
peror or Gar might find his path Of expected
glory uncommonly rough and thorny-
The theory that Bulgaria relies on the sup
port Of some ally is by 10 means unreasonable
Obviously the only conceivable ally IS Austria
Hungary That a secret compact existed be
tween the two governments was circumstan-
TALLY declared ard widely believed last year At
the time Of Prince Ferdinand's visit 10 Francis
Joseph al Budapest. The story wss that con-
fidential agreement had been made providing
for the simultaneous proclamation Of Bulgaria 5
independence and the annexation Of Bosnia and
HerzeSovina by Australia Hungary and for NUT
usl support in case Of resulting trouble. Thus.
II Turkey attacked Bulgaria. Austria ungary
was 10 invade Macedonia; II Turkey attacked
Austria Hungary. Bulgaris WIS 70 invade
and II Servia declared war on Austria Hungary.
Bulgaria was TO invade Servia and seize Prot
and sNisch. Moreover. 4 a congress Of the
powers WAS called. Austria Hungary WAS 10 IL
sist that the bulk of Macedonia and . part Of
ServIa should be given 20 Bulgaria
The existence OF any such compact MAS IN
phaticaly denied by both Austria Hungary and
Bulgaria snd indeed some az its alleged pro
visions seemed upon their face improbable If
not ahsurd. Nevertheless. the simultaneous
proclamation OF BulgariS's Independence and
the annexation Of Bosnia asats Herzegovina did
actually oecur. and now Bulgaria i MESSING

MONEY AT DIRECT PRIMARIES.

The opponents Of the direct primary system
must be hard pressed for arguments when they
resort 10 the dispute over the Wisconsin Sena-
torShip as one. If the charge that Mr.. stephen
son used money In excess. or improperly, be true.
il proves nothing against nominations by direct
vote. How often has the same charge been
made regarding the election OF Senators under
the other system? At the worst, what has hap
peued once under the direct system has hap
pened many times under the indirect system.
So much for the damaging Indictment rela-
lively.
But. 10 go further, even II it is true that
money has been used improperly In Wisconsin.
and even If it were true that IL had often been
used improperly there and in other states which
have the popular primaries, ii would prove Moth
ing against Governor Hughes's proposal 1t
would prove merely that Wisconsin and the
ether states were without suitable acts limiting
expenditures al primaries. requiring publicity
regarding them and inaicting punishment for
corrupt practices. The Wisconsin situation
proves not that direct primaries are bad. but
that Wisconsin has defective system. II II is
the strongest case the opponents OF Governor
Hughes can present, they are wasting their

RaNhENG REFORM.

The intention OF the National Monetary Com
mission. Of which Senator Aldrich IS chairman,
10 recommend the establishment Of central
bauk of issue is an indication of the thorough
ness with which il Is going 10 attack the prcn~
lens OF banking and currency reform. No DOUBT
the country will see the question of the existing
bond secured currency approached NTH the
same courage for it is going TO be a very serious
question. if the nation adopts the policy or pohd
issues for waterway and other internal improve
ments. doubling perhaps. the issues which may
be used as the basis OF national bank notes
M doubt too. the relation Of the different KINGS
Of banks In this country TO each other. the con-
finement of them within their proper feds. the
keeping in hanks of adequate reserves and othef
questions will receive thorough aud scientific
treatment, while il is not. perhaps. toe muen 10
hone that the same courage which Is READY TO
recommend SO great change as central DanR
will be exhibited In dealing with the outstanding
greenbacks. 4 limited issue OF irredeemahle
government notes may do no harm in itself but
it is responsible for a good deal Of dangerous
wrong thinking.
We should hope that the establishment OF 4
central bank Of issue would mem the adoption
Of the credit principle in currency. II is TINS
fo- which The Tribune mas contended But
while strenuously advocating the principle. we
have never committed ourselves TO any par
ticular agency for the issue of what IS variousiy
called credit or asset currency. We have pre-
ferred a central bank TO any Of the other meth
eds suggested. but last year we regarded that
agency as far too remote TO be worth advo-
eating II Mr.. AidrIch and his colleagues think
otherwise we are glad OF II; and we may say
that with their powerful influence behind II and
with the rapid education Of the people in cur
rency reform which started last year and will
continue until some plan is finally adopted. we
see considerable reason for thinking that the
coming recommendation OF a central bank viii
be favoraby received. Such bank. in order
most effectively 10 serve the business interests
of this country. should be a bank for the re-
discounting OF commercial paper presented by
other banks II would then have the functions
which nearly all the great central banks or
Europe have.

this country. IL seems 10 US the establishment

While the country has overhauliEg Of lis
banking system in progress, it would be mis-
take TO add another patch TO the present patch
work 1t may be that the country needs for the
encouragement of thrift a more widespread saw
ings system than it has and that postal savings
banks would serve a real need in many rural
sections. especially in sections settled by i'm
migrants accustomed TO government savings in
situations But the difficulty Of grating the
postal savings bank upon The present banking
system OF the country is obvious 10 any one
who has considered the present proposal.
