wholesome change of view that the
powers of the community are now rec
ognized as too limited and the rights OF
the prosecutor are being enlarged. Only
three years ago an appeal such as the
government is now making would have
been beyond its legal capacity. The act
of March ,, 1907, wisely gave the nation
a privilege hitherto denied TO II, though
allowed to those charged with breaking
its laws. The United States has been
put on level with the defendants sum-
moned 10 its bar and can appeal from
an adverse ruling in a criminal case.
Under the forlAer system the decision OF
a lower federal court was final If it
went against the government. Fortu-
nately that is not the case now The
right of appeal 70 the Supreme Court
gives n much better assurance that the
true intent of the law will prevail and
tEat justice will not be hindered by
merely obstructive technicalities.

"reform' laws one after another, With
out a word of debate. The officers ap-
parently dare not have their mandates
discussed. and they have warned the
Boule that rejection of any OF the bills
would mean revolution. In brief. there
is military dictatorship, of which the
reputed lawmakers of the kingdom are
the tools.
These laws forbid royal princes to
have executive command in either army
or navy, abolish the o-ce of commander
in chief of the army, abolish the general
staff and provide for the employment OF
q foreign officer to reOrganiZe the army.
And this in what was once the most in-
tensely military nation in the world
There is no doubt that the services
need reforming. but there is only too
good ground for doubling the value of
such a process when it is directed by
the very men who have brought the
services into Generalization and disre-
pute, and especially when its first step
is expulsion of the few officers of high
rank who have shown themselves
worthy of their places. There is good
reason to fear that the whole move
ment is selfish, disloyal and revolution
ary, having for its object the personal
advantage of the conspiratOrs and not
the welfare of the nation.

MR. BANNARD,s FIVE CAMPAIGN.

NR. BANNARD'S FINE CAMPAIGN.
We wonder If both his rivals do not
envy Mr.. Barnard the kind of campaign
he has made. In the noise and clatter
at the beginning his modest voice was
hardly heard. When his rivals were fill
ing the first pages of the newspapers
with their vibrant personalities, Mr..
Barnard hardly attracted any attention.
1t used jestingly to be said that the
people would not discover that Barnard
was running at all until the campaign
was over. He did not, however, yield TO
the temptation to enter into the noise
making He did not raise his voice to
try 10 penetrate the din, but kept right
on talking in his quiet way about sub
jects that were not in the least exciting.
He has had his reward for his good
judgment. Everybody now knows that
he is running, and everybody turns to
him with feeling of relief and pleasure
as the one man who has gone through
the campaign honorably. He has pre-
served throughout his even tempered,
calm demeanOr, and has exhibited his
level headed good sense from beginning
to end The contrast that his gentle
manly behavior presents to the conduct
Of his rivals has Injured to his advan-
tage. He is no orator, he says, but new
erthelesS he has made the best speeches
of the campaign, the only speeches that
have been addressed to the intelligence
aud patriotism Of the public and the
only speeches that have kept right on
winning votes.
Even if Mr.. Barnard were not in abil-
ity and training far and away the best
man for the Office of Mayor, believers in
popular government would still desire to
see him elected, because he has made the
only campaign that merits success. 1t
would be a disgrace and misfortune TO
popular institutions to have such cam
paign as Mr.. Gaynor has made rewarded
10y election to Office. He should be so
soundly defeated as to be a warning in
the future that a candidate must at least
be decent on the stump

RETOLUTION IN GREECE.

The intrigues and Vaccinations of the
Military League in Greece now amount
practically to revolution. The monarchy
and the Boul6 continue to exist. but
their functions are performed or are
dictated by a self-constituted junta of
army and navy officers. The enforced
retirement of three Of the royal princes
from the army, Of which they had been
about the most efficient and valuable
officers, has been followed by the resig-
nation of the fourth of them from the
navy, in which he had been an admiral.
and now all members of the royal fam
lly are entirely dissociated from the ser
vices which are dominated by this Mill
tary League. Moreover, there has been
an arbitrary wedding out Of other Of
ticers who are loyal TO the dynasty or
are for some reason offensive TO the
revolutionary league; the ministers OF
War and Marine being apparently un-
able to resist the mandates Of ostra-
cism.

JUDGE AND "PERsoNAL LIBERTY"

JUDGE AND "PERSONAL LIBERTY"
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Some of us who have practised at the
bar for many years. 1 am sure. have not
lost our respect for the courts nor our
admiration for the judges. but we do not
forget that the judges are only men, infiu-
enced and controlled by their education and
environment. one may criticise Judge Gay
nor and may be censorious without being
unjust
II there is any one policy in which the
judge takes special pride it is his cham
pionship of wnat he calls personal lib
erty." In the light of his other oft repeated
remark that man was made before law
he must mean that personal liberty is
superior to LAWS, I'm fact, supreme.
This is an unfortunate principle to advo-
cate But Judge Gaynor believes it. His
career shows it, 1t is no injustice to him
or his career to say that he is, or was, the
only justice on the bench relied on to tie
the hands of the police by injunctions when
appealed to by professional gamblers, book
makers. houses of prostitution, etc Truth
requires US to say. that Judge Gaynor by
these injunctions interfered with the course
of justice and befriended the gamblers and
lawbreakers.
Moreover, we are fast reaching a regret
table crisis on the so-called Sunday oues-
ton. So far as the police are concerned,
this campaign will settle the question:
Shall we have a wide open town."
The lovers of a clean government, law
and order and the suppression of crime and
criminals cannot afford to indorse Judge
Gaynor by their ballot. LAWYER

THE PENSION EXPENDITURES.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: While many are congratulating YOU
upon the reduction Of the price of your
paper, I desire to do so upon that recent
editorial October 22) on THE Limit of
Pensions"
You have struck the right note Is it not
high time that Congress wakes up on this
subject? Almost thirty years ago, when
pensions required about half the present
sum, the opinion was expressed confidently
that we were near the climax of expendi-
ture, and that rapid decrease would
quickly be seen, but here we are, almost
forty-fve years after the close of the Civil
War, yet paying the largest amount ever
given in year.
Every day informs us of the deaths of
officers or privates of the Civil War; forty
thousand or more pass away annually. and
it is natural and reasonable that the vast
outgo should diminish.
