Trained Nurses.

Among the new activities Of recent
years the trained professional nurse
and the h~alf-trained novice nurse play
a very large part in social economy. Be
ing women, they are inevitably JUS
ceptible to social influences and quick
to demand social privileges, not only
in the homes where they are employed,
but in the institutions where they
study.
In the Henrotin hospital of Chicago
the sixty nurses make certain demands
which the doctors dislike, but which
may cause trouble. The nurses wish
to remain away from the school at
night when they are not on duty, to
have pass keys, to have servants for
answering general bells. Other de-
mands have a similar object Of per-
sonal liberty and comfort. They will
probably not win all at once, but the
incident suggests that the modern
business of the trained nurse lie a sub
ject and a class by no means servile
or trihing.
Civilization has apparently stopped
trying to regulate cooks, but nurses
come on a different plane. 1t is a
workable problem.

A Legislative Scouting Party.

A commission made up OF members
Of the New York legislature is making
a tour of the central west for the pur-
pose Of investigating the practical OPP
GRAFTON of laws providing for direct
primary nominations in connection
which has been urged by Governor
Hughes. The commission is scheduled
to circle through Illinois, Wisconsin,
Minnesota and Kansas, in all of which
states direct primary laws have been
enacted and have been applied for
longer or shorter periods.
The significance OF this legislative
scouting expedition is not that it is
looking into the workings Of direct
nomination machinery, but that the
legislature of New York should be
willing to admit that 1t may have
something TO learn from the expert
ence of other states. This concession
is striking principally by contrast, be-
cause the average state legislature is
so certain of its own infallible wisdom
and its own supreme ability that it
undertakes to grapple with the most
momentous problems without inquir-
ing. OF even caring, what other states
may have done when confronted with
the same conditions. Thus one state
after another has often made the same
blunder, and laws with noticeable de-
fects have been enacted which could
easily have been remedied by taking
heed to the course of similar legisla-
tion elsewhere.
Only recently a few states have es-
tablished legislative reference libraries
and undertaken to give their law
makers access to the material thus
compiled, but only occasionally has a
legislature done what the New York
legislature y nov doing in sending a
commission out in the field to secure
information that is not in the books
and cannot be gotten out OF Official re-
ports. 1t is possible we may some day
evolve something like a clearing house
of state legislation, but in the interval
Independent and self-sumcient law fac.
tories will be filling the statute books

Recess Appointments.

President Taft's announcement that
he will make no recess appointments,
particularly Of federal judges, untl
congress meets has the elements Of
good temper, regard for the quality
Of the public service and knowledge OF
political probabilities. There Is no
friction between the president and the
senate While Mr.. Taft will not idly
provoke a conflict which would be dis
astrous and would offer little prospect
Of party or public benefit, neither
would he be apt to yield to senatorial
dictation against his best judgment.
Federal judgeships are positions of
rapidly growing Importance. The
spreading business Of the country
brings more and more within the
jurisdiction of these tribunals the af-
fairs Of the average citizen. 1t is also
more and more necessary hat the fed
eral courts should proceed evenly and
rapidly. II is still more necessary, II
It is fair to say SO, they be kept as
clear as possible from controversial
politics.
The senate is extremely sensitive
about judiciary appointments and very
sensitive about recess appointments
made without consultation. MIR. Taft
doubtless recalls previous embarrass-
ments and confusion in the courts
from these causes and wisely he de-
cides that the way to escape trouble
is to not let 1t begin. 1t may be sus-
pected that the president is willing to
escape the pressure during the tension
Of travel and labor that he has laid
out for himself this fall. On all ac-
counts the announcement touches an
excellent policy.

DEATHS BY DROWNING.
RecOrd of Wasted Lives Due to One
Great Cause.

dFeat Cause,
New York World.
In May 621 persons were in the
United States; in Jun L,176. The figures
for July will show a larger total. August,
the height Of the vacation season, will set
the record of wasted lives. Every Satur-
day afternoon and Sunday in every city
and considerable rural region a long roll
is written Of the names Of the drowned.
Some of these deaths are due to faulty
supervision or management Of excursion
boats, but neglect is the one great cause.
Every child should swim. The number
Of skilled swimmers drowned Is proper
tlonately small; and perhaps the most fire.
quent cause of the drowning Of a swimmer
Is the terror of some nonswimmer whom
he Is trying to ave. and who pulls him
down. Men are sometimes drowned by
diving in shallow water or being thrown
against piers or posts, but with sea room
a good swimmer is safe even In rough
surf or waves.
Every army and navy cadet. every stu
dent in the larger colleges. IL taught to
swim. The rule should be universal in
girls schools. The commonest OF fatal
midsummer accidents, the swapping or
capsizing Of a boat, has no terrors for a
good swimmer on his own account. He
can get ashore II there is no nonswimmer
to drag him under. A fair swimmer can
keep his head above water until help
comes. Even a poor swimmer gets from
his little knowledge the benefit of keeping
cool in danger. Being thrown into the
water should not mean for him a senseless
panic which menaces his life and the lives
OF his friends.

Premature Counting of Chickens.

All estimates Of the size Of the democratic
majority in the next house are to be re-
ceived with caution. Election day is fifteen
months distant. Not a single nomination
by either party has been made. Some men
carry elections long before the day set, and
lose them when the day arrives. Let us
all wait and see what the new tariff law
looks like in action. If it performs well
the republicans need not worry; II ill-lf
the revenues fall short and the treasury
deficit grows, and money must be found
from some new source next winter-then
Chairman Lloyd and his lieutensnts will
be justified In wearing a broad smile in

Democratic Editor Doubts the Wis

BROOKLYN Faa Gle.


In a contribution to The Circle, Mr..
Bryan says that his mother taught him to
recite pieces, and that political success may
be described as the conjunction Of prepara-
ton and opportunity. He also remarks:
"When 1 saw that the money question
was likely to be the issue I purchased
books and studied the subject so that l
was ready when 1t became the paramount
issue"
Apparently, the distinguished democrat
regards himself as a political success, blu
there is more than one way of looking at
his case. Three times he has run for the
presidency and three times defeat has over
taken him. to which extent his story is one
of failure. What books he bought while
studying the money question he does not
say, but nothing Is surer than that his Sc
lections were unfortunate. He has much
TO unlenrn.
