Much Of the popular interest in the planet
whose proximity 10 the earth at the present
time IS especially favorable to close scrutiny
springs from the suggestion that perhaps it
may be inhabited. No such confirmation OF
the possibility as would be afforded by an
interchange Of signals between its Inhabitants
and those Of the earth is yet in prospect
and at the annual meeting Of the Astronomical
and Astrophysical Society Of America, a few
weeks ago. the feasibility of that kind OF com
munication vigorously discredited Rei-
ance must therefore be placed on those char
acteristics OF Mars which seem TO indicate that
il is at least in a habitable condition, and on
the Interpretation which should be given 10
the lines first observed by Schiaparel1. and by
him designated canals"
AS the axis Of the planet is tilted over about
much as the earth's Mars experiences "A
change Of seasons. With this phenomenon is
associated the appearance Of white areas a. the
noies in winter and the disappearance of them
in spring and summer. The suspicion has been
entertained that the material which seems al
ternatey 10 freeze and melt there is water. and
a great deal Of effort has been devoted 20 deter
mining its nature, because, while proof that
water does exist on Mars would not show that
the planet is Inhabited, there is some relation
between the two possibilities
Two kinds Of test have been adopted in the
hope OF settling the question The polariscope
has been employed in one with slightly en-
ccuraging results So delicate is this method.

lists Ike Morrison. Vest Beck, Watterson aud
Hurd.
Mr. Morrison was defeated for reelection to
the House Of Representatives in 1886, after
twelve years Of service. He had seen Randall
ism almost stamped out in the Democratic
party. but his own simple tariff policy was
also soon to go out Of fashion. When President
Cleveland took up tariff revision new ideas be
gan to obtrude. Mr. Mills was made chairman
Of the Committee on Ways and Means and the
doctrine of free raw materials was put Tor
ward as a convenient method of attacking pro-
lection without too greatly alarming the pro
tected manufacturers. The Cleveland pro
gramme went 10 wreck in the Wilson tariff
bill. passed by the House Of Representatives in
1924 Since then there have been all sorts OF
Democratic thrift revisionists except The hor-
z0ntal ones. the latest development being the
Bailey type which holds that raw materials
must be protected If the products into which
they enter are protected, and that, when II
comes to the pinch, ii is better 10 give up the
protection on the manufactured product than
on the raw material Before he died Mr.. Morri-
son witnessed the spectacle Of more than haif

General acceptance Of the protective principle
and the spread of manufacturing industries in
the Southern States have brought about that
remarkable reversal Mr.. Morrison in 1903,

the Democratic party any longer understood
the horizontal philosophy Of 1886 His political
leadership seemed TO be as far back in the past

TESTING OPEN PRLlIARIES.

The results Of the primary election in New
Jersey reveal some imperfections in the law
and suggest some amendments Of it, but, on the
whole. seem TO commend the system for further
trial. 1t was scarcely to be expected that ut its
very first application the law would work per
fectly. And, of course, the candidates who Wore
defeated are not happy. There is, moreover,
cause for deep regret at the defeat of major
ity of those progressive Republicans TO whose
initiative and steadfast support this law and
much other beneticent legislation of late years
must be credited. But il is TO be observed that
the foremost of the defeated candidates are also
foremost in commencing the law under which
they have been beaten and in insisting upon its
maintenance
The criticism has been made that the law dis
franchises at the primaries many citzens-to
wit, those who are changing their party ale
glance. man who voted a Democrat last
year but had since wisely determined to be-
come Republican could not vote at the Re
publican primary this year. But that seems TO
be q necessary precaution against the whole
sale voting of members of party at the
primaries of the other, and anyway, the number
Of such cases was comparatively small, and,
OF course, there is no impairment Of any mans
right TO vote at the election. \ more serious
criticism, and one which suggests a probably
desirable amendment 10 the law. concerns the
hours of polling The law fixes them al from
TO O'Clock ,. III. There is no doubt that thou
sands OF men We're kept from voting by the
fact that they could not vote before they went
70 work or came 10 New York in the morning
and they did not get home in time in the
evening. There seems 10 be q pretty general
conviction that as the primaries are conducted
in other respects just like the real elections
they should be held at the same all-day hours
as the latter.
The criticism has also been made by Oppo-
nents Of the open primary nomination system,
that the people took little interest in the pri-
maries and that, therefore, the vote was very
light. That was true in some places, bur II was
notably untrue in others. Thus in Essex. the
/ largest county of the state, nearly $1,000 votes
: were cast 10y Republicans at the primaries.
while in the regular election of last year only
about 10000 Republican votes Were cast II
thus the vote at primary election amounts TO
50 per cent Of the vote cast at a Presidential
election year before, it surely cannot be said
that the people take no interest in the system.
What the total primary vote OF the state was is
! not Yet reported, but we have no doubt that It
was several times larger than ever was the vote
actually cast at the old form Of primaries for
delegates 10 conventions. 4 system which
brings out 50 or even 80 per cent Of the voters
/ TO select candidates certainly has much TO com
mend ii 70 careful consideration.

MR.. PARSONS AND THE FUSION.

The conduct OF Mr.. Herbert Parsons, presi-
dent OF the Republican County Committee in
relation to the present citizens movement has
served to strengthen the favorable impression
that has prevailed regarding his leadership and
to enhance respect for the Republican Organi-
zatiOn among independent voters. There have
been times when the Republicans OF this county
have presented the spectacle OF being dragged
reluctantly into movements for better govern
ment, Of haggling about the terms after the
manner OF strike" organizations that are got
up over night and OF threatening to disrupt the
movement unless they got their share OF the
spOlls. That attitude has been humillating TO
many Of it's members and injurious TO the party
as a whole.
But no adverse criticism can be passed upon
Mr.. ParSOns's leadership IN this years move
ment toward fusion From the time when he
made speech year or so ago recognising the
necessity Of appealing TO something else than
partisanship In the coming municipal election
he has been sincerely desirous Of union
against Tammany and has worked patiently
and tactfuly to promote II. The Committee or
One Hundred has found him reasonable and
fair in all his dealings. Indeed, we venture TO
say that 1t has had less difficulty in coming TO
an understanding with him than with any other
participant In the recent conferences. The
ticket which the Republicans have nominated
in this county has the hearty approval OF the
committee throughout, and it speaks for Itself
of Mr.. ParsOns's observation-disclosures and SINGER
ity. To gain the respect and confidence of the
intelligent independent voters Of this city is
the way to strengthen the Republican party,
and Mr. Parsous's leadership has certainly put
the party in a better light before the public
than IT has ever hitherto been in at the end Of
negOtia tions for q fusion

TIE pitt NATLoN4L PARK.

Away out in the State of OkIahoma-we had
almost said in the wilds of Oklahoma-there is
a little national park of about eight hundred
and fifty acres. Within that small area there
are seventeen or eighteen mineral springs the
curative properties Of which have been recOg-
nized and utilized by the Choctaws and Chicka-
saws and by many other tribes from time i'm
memorial The scenery is remarkably pctu-
rescue. Great forest trees surround the springs
and nOn-mineral spring with daily flow of
five million gallons is the source Of Sulphur
Creek. This park is the PIatt National Park
named for Orville hitchcock Platt late Senator
from Connecticut.
Among the many classes of legislation to
which. in the words of OF his colleagues
Senator Platt devoted So much time and energy
that he had no time to attract public attention"
that great bod of law which affects the
Indians No other member of the national legis-
lature knew much Of the Indians as he no
other familiar with their lives and their
legends. From them he learned of the great
curative powers Of the springs around Sulphur
Okla, and from them. TOO. he learned of
the danger that when Oklahoma was made IA
state these springs would become private pror-
erty and that the healing waters which the
Great Father had given to cure all Indians
would be sold at SO much gallon. To prevent
that he secured the creation of the SULPHUR
NIIiilEs lAtSSI FdtloI, anu inter- as a tribute
the Senator from Connecticut his colleagues
changed the name Platt National Park
Since Senator Platt died the park has been
sadly neglected There is no one in Congress to
care for its needs. There are almost no funds
available to protect it from trespass and TO pre-
serve its valuable springs uncontaminated
Properly cared for It would some day prove a
great boon to the residents Of that part of the
country, and men might journey there from
afar they now journey 10 the Hot Springs
Reservation in Arkansas, or as the Sioux used 10
journey from the far North and the warlike
Apaches from the Southwest long years before
the white man Lad set foot on that part of the
continent
But II is important that, at this coming ses-
sion Of Congress, some man, preferably some
Senator. should make il his business 10 famil-
iarze himself with the needs OF the Platt Ma
tional Park so that he may be in a position 10
present the facts 10 Congress in a comprehen-
sye and intelligent manner He would mud the
Secretary OF the l-t-rior glad TO cooperate with
him. Is there any work 10 which ii Senator
from Connecticut could more httingly devote
himself than the legislative care Of a reservation
which the national legislature sought to make IA
