GRAND ARMY
BOYS MEET
SUNDAY
IN SALT LAKE TO ARRANGE
STATE ENCAMPMENT
Veterans of Utah to Meet in May to
Plan for Entertaining National
G. A. r.

A meeting Of the council of admin
istration of the Grand Army OF the Re-
public of Utah will be held in Salt
Lake tomorrow for the purpose of ar
ranging for a state encampment. This
encampment will be entirely sepa-
rate and distinct from the national
encampment, which will be held In the
capital city next August; but will
serve as a sort OF forerunner to the
national gathering of the old soldiers.
II is said by a member of the govern"
ing board that the state encampment
Will likely be held in the month OF
May at either Salt Lake or Provo.
There are five posts of the Grand
Army in Utah, two in Salt Lake, one
in Ogden, one In Provo, and another
in Park City The administration
council for the state is composed OF
these members:
l. 3 Derby, of the James B. Nc
Kean post, No. ], Salt-Bake.
B. F. Bair, OF the DiX-Logan post,
No. 3, Ogden
A. H. Foling, of the w. S Hancock
post. No. 4. Park City.
William Crome, OF the George X.
Maxwell post. No. 5, Salt Lake.
James Williams. OF the w. T. Sher'
man post No 6. Provo.
These men will tomorrow decide
when and where the state encamp-
ment of the grand old soldiers will be
held this year. The idea prevails With
the board OF control that the state en-
campment will be held prior to the,
time of the holding of the national en-
campment at Salt Lake. so that the
Grand Army men may get together be-
fore the great event and thereby aid
very materially IN arranging for the
entertainment of the visitors in Au-
gust The old soldiers are all aglow
with enthusiasm over the prospective
national encampment, and they are so
imbued with the matter that 1t is very
likely they will almost forget every
thing else but the Idea OF making pre-
parations for the national encamp-
ment.

MattheWSon Tells of
the Great BatterS

Boston, March 4.-Christy Mathew
son, the giant New York National
pitcher. and now coaching the Har-
ward twirlers. went into a general
criticism of the great batsmen whom
he has faced in his career, today.
The heavy hitter" says Matty, "is
most feared for his ability to break
up games. The place hitter is feared
with men on bases. as he can work the
hit and run, and squeeze plays. or ad-
vance the base runner by bunting at
the most unexpected times.
"Of course, In any criticism Of bats
men of the present day, / am limited
to my own experience In the National
league except In the worlds cham
pionship series of 1905, when pitched
against the Athletics, who failed to do
much hitting in the entire series.
when pitching against a great
batsman pitcher can bring into play
his best skill and Is most on his mot
tie The man most to be feared is
Hans Wagner of the Plttsburg club.
He is the rare combination of place
hitter and 'slugger,' and Is equally
dangerous in either style of hitting.

his hardest drives go past the first

known to hit the ball over the Brook

feat even for a left-handcd hitter.
while discussing the great Pitts
burg star 1t might not be remiss to
remark that it Is wonderful with what
power Tommy Leach hits ball. For a
little fellow he is a marvel. Fred
Clarke, too, Is consistent hitter and
especially dangerous with men on the
bases.
Some batsmen have improved in
their hitting and cannot be fooled by
certain balls that originally bothered
them. Such batsmen are Frank

WILL THE LEADERS LEADf

We expressed the opinion the other day, COM
menting on the mayoralty campaign. that "ener-
"getiC and intelligent Republican leadership now
would pave the way TO the complete union OF
"alI anti-Tammany elements and their decisive
victory next fall" Our friend and neighbor
1.-The New York World suggests that we are
over optimistic. 1t asks:
But where does The Tribune expect to find
this energetic and intelligent Republican lead
ership"? In Woodruff, Parsons & Company,
Limited? In the Republican bosses who used
Charles Z. Hughes a deCoy duck to capture
the INDEPENDENT vote last fall, and then de-
voted ali their power to defeat his policies and
nullify the public benefits of his election? AS
srlming that such a can nominate ana
elect Mayor will The Tribune tell us pre-
cisely how much benefit the city of New York
might expect to derive from the victory!
The answers to these questions are obvious
enough The Republican leaders hereabouts are
undoubtedly capable of energetic and intelli-
gent leadership" They may have failings- but
one of those faiIngs is not inability to nominate
a man of character, force and Independence
when such q nomination is demanded by public
opinion and is the price of success at the polls
The leaders of the Republican organization sac
rif1ced their own opinions and prejudices last
year when they renOminated Mr.. Hughes for
Governor. They bowed to public sentiment, as
all political leaders must do in order to remain
powerful and successful. They have to-day
every inducement to nominate for Mayor man
of high character and marked availability.
What, asks THE World" can New York ex-
pect from Mayor of the Hughes type, If nOmi-
mated by the Republican organization leaders?
It can certainly expect four years of local ad-
ministration as tonic in effect as have been the
three years SO far Of Governor Hughess admin
istratiOn at Albany. The installation Of a first
class Mayor at this juncture would mean untold
benefit TO the CITY II would set new standards
and help TO create new public spirit.

sideration, there Will apparently still be deficit
next year Of about S60,OOO,000. That unfavora-
BILE balance will not be overcome for several
years through the natural growth Of trade, un-
less Congress succeeds in reducing our annual
expenditures considerably below the 19O9-lo
level
1t would be mistake in political tactics TO
pass a tariff bill not yielding adequate revenue
The Wilson law was an egregious failure pollt-
cally because = did not redeem Democratic
promises. It was failure practically because
it did not provide revenue enough 70 pay the
governments ordinary expenses. That defect
was doubly unfortunate, because the Treasury
was at that time hard put TO it to maintain the
parity of gold and other forms OF money. Cost
ly bond issues had to be fioated in time Of peace
in order TO keep the Treasury in gold and III
funds. If the makers of the present tariff err
on the side of creating deficits, it will be dlfhcut
10 check fresh agitation for tariff revision. The
safer plan is to provide ample revenue, either
by a moderate lowering of rates on articles
which can be imported without provoking dam
aging competition with similar domestic prod
iucts or by recourse to additional forms OF in
ternal revenue taxation.

THE LATEST HAGUE DECISION.

Sincere satisfaction is to be felt for more rea-
sons than one in the outcome of the latest
case referred to the so-caled Permanent Court
of Arbitration at The Hague. First of all, per
haps may be named the comparative prompt
ness of the tribunals action. The incident
which gave rise to the controversy, indeed,
occurred some time ago, but it was not until
about the middle of November last that the
German government assented TO reference Of
the matter TO The Hague. At the beginning of
that month arbitration seemed far away, in
view of a German demand which practically
amounted to this, that whatever the finding OF
an arbitral tribunal might be France must be
assumed TO be in the wrong and must apologize.
4 few days later more reasonable counsels pre-
vailed at the Wilhelmstrasse, and it was made
possible to send the whole controversy to court.
Now. six months is a good deal more than
quarter of an hour; but when we contrast it
with the time during which other international
disputes and negotiations have dragged their
weary length. and even with the time which
has elapsed before a case has been finally dis
posed of by our national courts il must
be regarded as a gratifyingly brief space in
which to settle dispute which at first was
supposed to menace the peace of Europe
Still more pleasing, because more important.
is the fact that the verdict of the court ap-
pears TO be acceptable without demur TO both
parties It bestOws some censure upon both
to be expected; not by way of com
promise. but grounds of reason and Justice
Practically II amounts to this that the Ger
man consular agents were wrong in aiding the
desertion of members of the French Foreign
Legion and in trying 10 protect them from ar
rest. and that the French military authorities
were wrong in using force for the recapture
Of the fugitives. In addition the court declines
To order the surrender of the recaptured de-
serters TO Germany. which makes the verdict
on the whole, a little more favorable TO
France than to Germany. it doubtless should
be. The supreInely important thing is how
ever. that the verdict appeals to the sense of
justice Of both nations and is Loyalty accepted
by both. That being the case three ends are
gained: troublesome and once menacfng dfe-
pute is settled, the two nations are brought
into better relationship. and the tribunal at
The Hague is confirmed in the confidence and
favor of the powers.
We have spoken Of that tribunal as the So I,

THE ADMINISTRATIVE CODE.

In the last of his interesting articles in The
Tribune upon the new charter Mr.. J. Hamp-
den Dougherty, one of the members of the char
ter commission, deprecates the fact that the
work of the commission on the administrative
code which was to go with the charter was
unfortunately done under great pressure"
When the code was transmitted TO the Legis-
lature 1T was not in fact, complete, but con-
''tained Inconsistencies and defects which might
readily have been cured had adequate time
"been allowed
A mere comparison OF the bulk of the code
with that of the charter shows that the work
of the commission In simplifying and elm
mating surplusage had not been so thoroughly
done in that as in the earlier document. IN
its preliminary report TO the Legislature the
commission, transmitting the charter at that
time, said "the charter will consist of seventy
five thousand words. The administrative code
will be no longer than the charter" This eX-
pectation very far from realized in the
code as reported. The charter consists of 299
sections; the code requires Gil. The charter
fills 124 pages; the code fills 30S. The code is
thus more than two and one-half times as long
as the charter, probably consisting of two hun
dred thousand words to the charters seventy
five thousand
Perhaps the expectation of making the code
as short as the charter could never have been
realized, but had the commission had time
enough it could probably have been made much
shorter than it is. 1t is to be hoped that the
commission is continuing its work and revising
its draft of the code. It should do this for
one of the most powerful arguments for the
adoption Of It's report Is the brevity and sim
plicity Of the document 1t has prepared. This
argument would be weakened by leaving the
code in its present state.

called Permanent Court of Arbitration. In fact,
it is neither permanent nor court. Constr
tuted in July, 1899, by the first congress at
The Hague. it is nothing but panel, or hst'
of Judges. desgnated-not more than four each
by the signatory powers for term OF slA
years. from which numerous body speclaI
bench of judges is selected for the trial OF each
case Thus the only permanent feature OF tne
institution is the panel. The court proper Is
newly and specially constituted therefrom 1or
each individual case. Moreover, the tribunal IS
not literally accessible at all times, for the
son that there is not always a bench OF
Judges sitting at The Hague. All that Is dc-
cessible at all tines is the machinery ana the
material for organizing a court with reaSonaDIe
expedition. 1t will be recalled that the nrst
case which was settled by the tribunal was
the dispute between the United States anu
Mexico over the so-caled PiOus Fund. Since
then various other cases have been referred TO
II bv other powers and these have all, we De-
Iieve been disposed of in n satisfactory mum
ner This latest achievement, therefore, IS III
accord with the former work of the court. IL
demonstrates that the constitution OF the court
is practical and that it truly provides means
of facilitating an immediate recourse to ar
"bitration for international differences when
could not be settled by diplomatic methods.
AS such il will be regarded with increasing
confidence and gratitude by peace-lov1ng ana
iuStice-lOving world.
