ever may conceivably be said for the
expediency Of taking property and the
bearing Of the public burdens as well
as mere numbers into account in the
apportionment Of political power there
Is no doubt about the gross unfaIrness
OF the present distribution OF seats.
Originally the districts from which rep
resentatives are returned we're about
equal; but they have not been changed
since 1880, and they are now glaringly
unequal. Berlin. for instance, which
by the census of 1905 had over 1000, 900
inhabitants, should have one-seven-
teenth OF the 433 members Of the House
Of Representatives, or in other words
twenty-five members, while M mat
ter Of fact the capital city has only nine.
Other large manufacturing and com
mercial centres have cause to complain
of similar unjust discrimination,
Nevertheless, when these questions
OF fundamental importance came up
the other day in the Prlssian House
OF Representatives the Conservatives
broke away from their associates Of
the bloc and combined with the Catholic
party OF the Centre to oppose any change
in the present electoral system or in
the distribution OF seats IL does not
inevitably follow, as we have said, that
the example of the Prussian Chamber
will be followed in the Reichstag and
that in the latter body as well the Con-
servatives will coalesce with the Cen
trists TO form a new majority. There
il, however, a strong probability that
such will be the case, as with reference
to the Reichstag also the Radicals have
reason TO denounce a distributive sys-
TEN which while professedly equitable
allots only six seats to Berlin, although
in proportion TO present population
that city should have twenty.
Even were il certain that Chancellor
voN BuELow could prevail on his i'm
perial master with the consent Of the
Bundesrath) to dissolve the German
Parliament, he might deem 1t useless TO
do so, for there is little ground for sup
posing that majority Of the next
Reichstag would be more favorable to
his financial programme His resig-
nation. therefore, would not be at all
surprising.

ENCOURAGING Report as to Major Mesrns's
Official Anatomy.
From Harpsr'a WsskIu.

10" HuF per VFthfH
The latest bulletins indicate a steady and
gratifying Improvement in the condition
of Lieutenant Colonel Edgar A. MearDs,
I. y. A. retired, assigned by the Comman-
der in Chief TO active duty in Africa in
attendance upon I. Roosevelt. Special
Shooter for the Snit hsonisn Institution, and
X. Roosevelt. Onicial Photographer. The
slight but distressing symptoms OF gosso-
labiolaryngeal paralysis have disappeared
entirely. and thought waves now pass regu-
larry from the caput Rallinaginis through

ment maintains the ensiform cartilage at

the unrivalled equipment in this respect OF

police court. The necessity or desira-
bility Of this is not clear. The courts
are for the punishment of offenders
against the laws, and no family quarrel
is entitled TO judicial attention unless it
has reached the stage at which crtmi-
nal complaint is made. When this
point has been reached it ia questiona-
BILE, at least. whether the parties to the
disagreement will suffer injury from a
visit TO the regular courts.
Behind the plan is a philanthropic
wish that some authority might be in
voked TO restore, by force il necessary,
harmony in homes where incompati-
bility or misconduct has brought dis
cord. That the State should undertake
such a mission might perhaps be de-
Tended If it were shown that the welfare
of the community could thereby be pro-
NOTED, the cost of government de-
creased or the citizenship improved
through its interference, This seems
highly improbable. IL instinct, obi
CATION, honor. the sense Of duty, the ap-
peals' Of friends and the urgings OF re-
ligious teachers fail to produce livable
conditions in mans house, what
chance ia there that a police magis-
trate sitting in a special court will be
able 10 accomplish il?

Liberal Oner to the Man Who Says No
Real Mocha Comes Here.

To THE EDITOR OF TIE Suv-Sir: villa
Alba informs us that there is no Mocha
coffee IN this country, Every coffee man
knows quite the contrary. He might learn
that not only is Mocha coffee abundant here
but that there exist also branches OF coffee
concerns established In Arabia and here

convince him OF this but II necessary

real and genuine Mocha coffee existing in

II Is absurd to say that coffee il shipped
from Brazil. Liberia &C. to Mocha and
reshipped thence to America as Mocha
Why should this be done l. tucre no
coffee in Arabia? Or has villa Alba" vet
TO learn that In Arabia. just for protection
against fraud, there Is not allowed The i'm
port alton OF any foreign coffee;
Villa Alba has a $50 4 o learf' that there Is
which slnce many, years ago has been left IN
disuse. hodeidah and Aden are the only
ports where Mocha coffee IL continually
shipped to all parts OF the world. lt.would
be perhaps unnecessary to reDeat this in-
formation, which every coffee man in
America knows ia elementary and essen
tial,, without troubling myself to make
trouble for the benefit OF the public. As II

A LaMxerIs Warning.

The ethical value of Mr. FRANCIS
LYNDE SrETsoN's address before the
New York State Bar Association at
Buffalo cannot be too highly regarded.
II has the merit Of a wholesome humor
that lights up the problems of the day;
at the same time it does not suffer in
candor,. earnestness or dignity.
The movement to arouse the col
lective conscience" which marks the
opening Of the twentieth century in
America, will not continue indefinitely,
Mr.. STETsoN thinks, because our re-
public, founded upon the right of all
men TO life, liberty and the pursuit
Of happiness has fourished largely,
if not chiefly, because of this ideal. =
The ideal cannot be realized if the right
to labor is successfully challenged and
its just rewards are denied. And in
principle It does not matter whether
those rewards are earned by the finan-
cier, the merchant, the lawyer or the
mechanic. At the present time the
general welfare is in greater danger
from that sentimental righteousness
that lacks sense Of justice" than ever
before. In a popular government it
threatens, unless corrected by sober
second thought, the spoliation Of in
dividual rights.
A great many Of these rights are
bound up in the corporations that are
now assailed with 30 little thought Of
their indispensability in the transaction
OF business under modern conditions.
Ninety per cent. Of such business owes
its success TO incorporation. Mr.. STET-
SON is speaking from a varied and init
mate experience when he speaks Of cor
porations. He declares that the acts Of
their officers are APT 20 be more regular
and more nearly correct, at least in form,
than those of natural persons engaged in
like transactions. And such officers are
just as anxious collectively mot to
transgrea the moral law and the law of
the land" A sane man, knowing that
they are made out OF the same human
material as the rest OF us, would never
challenge the statement.
The President of the New York State
Bar Association does not deny the eIis-
tence OF bad corporations or Of sordid
financiers or Of soulless lawyers; he
submits, however, that others should
not safer for their sins. There is
nothing more impressive in Mr.. STET-
soN's address, or more necessary for
the citizen 10 understand, than his
warming that II the lawyers right to
maintain in behalf Of his client every
defence authorized by the law Of the
land is surrendered in any period of
blind agitation the chartered liberties
of the people will be in grave danger
of destruction.

THE NAVY,S WELFARE.
Its Friends Disturbed by the Preiiminaries
OF Reorganiza zation.

To THE EDITOR or The SrN--Sr: A
change has come over the spirit and temper
Of Congress within the last three years in
reference to it's treatment OF the navy, as
evidenced by your reports OF the doings in the
House and edit orial article on "Eouipping the
Navy" BEFORE that time the navy was the
pride OF the nation, and Congress did not
dare curtsil its usefulness or growth.
President Roosevelt's desire TO emulate
a monarchy and be surro ounded by court y
on the European model led him TO discard
the services in his Cabinet OF men OF great
ability and-tact for society men OF wealth,
This accounts for the appointment OF the
present Secretary OF the Navy. whose ad-
Ininistration OF that Department, in which
he has practically been supreme for the last
three years. has caused the gravest mis-
sivings and doubts as to the condition OF the
ships and their efficiency and the ability OF
the Chief Constructor.
IL 10 very evident that the aim OF the pres
ent so-called Reorganization OF the navy
has for its plan scheme by which Admiral
Capps may be retained In his present once.
with its attendant influence and power.
Is It not too much 10 expect that Secretary
Sewbsrry could be induced to favor any
enactment by Congress that would permit
the displacement OF his pet adviser? The
Chief Constructor has not been lacking in
the ability TO commit the present Secretary
TO his doings and plan OF action before
putting them in actual operation. Of
course be would agree with the plausible

to the praise that Professor Norton has

DEADLOCKS.

To THE EDITOR OF The SuN-Sir: tn,
recently chosen President Of Harvard
University has remarked In his really
great work on The Government OF Eng.
land that parliamentary government
avoids deadlocks by making the eIecu-
tive responsible to the legislature. Presi-
Dental government limits deadlocks be-
cause all the organs Of the State must
ultimately submit TO q superior tribunal
the electorate OF the nation
The existing partial British deadlock
between the Lords and Commons has not
been avoided, but President Lowell proba-
bly, referred only TO a deadlock between
Parliament and the executive.
Under our own political institutions
IL 10 true that a deadlock between the
President and either or both OF the houses
OF Congress can be broken by Presi-
dental election In which the issue is
sharply raised and is voted on. Ii Ia
also true that such a deadlock can proba-
bly, be broken without waiting for such
an election, 80 long as our two party
system exists in vigor. and be broken by
the application Of party pressure and
discipline. especially whom as now the
party in power has recently had fresh
mandate from the voters.
II IL we're worth while TO act In the few
remaining weeks before the new President
and Congress will supersede those now
IN Office the Republican national COM
mittee aided by the captains OF thou
sands. hundreds and tens in the localities,
could quickly put an end to the unseemly
wranglng between the two ends OF Penn
sylvania avenue. There 10, however, no
need now for Intervention by party leaders
from the several States. because In four or
five weeks President Taft and new Con-
gress will have command.
The remark OF President Lowell Is
therefore true as 20 our own system OF
balanced political powers, which, however,
is not. 1t is TO be said, Presidential any
more than Congressional or judicial.
Had Roosevelt been reelected last No
vember by a majority like that received
by Taft party pressure invigorated by
patronage might have compelled Con-
gress to yield temporarily. but not the
Supreme Court unless others than Ameri-
can lawyers were put on the bench and the
new incumbents refused 20 be bound by
the previous decisions of the court when
similar cases arose, That peril was
fortunately and happily overpassed at
Chicago and then in the ballot boxes
last November. COLUMBIA.
