CLEANING BUSINESS MACHINERY.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Reforms, chaos, dreams, are at
present demanding a halt, hesitation in
the progress of the American routine OF
business activity. But we must have re-
forms. chaos and dreams to shake off the
mire that gathers in the cogs of the wheels
that wind and grind out our prosperity
The reforms are the alcohol that cleans
and the oil that smoothes the works. and
the time and money lost in the cleansing
mean the perpetuation of the works
What We must do is ask ourselves how
much can we do to aid tn the general up
ltft-in the cleansing and In the work to
he done in the resumption and continua-
ton Of activity and prosperity. Let us
not only he individual in our endeavors
but push along with the rest, so that we
can get uniform movement. a national
march, that Will be d perpetual motion.

DIRK D4YS FOR SNUGGLERs.

Smuggling is ceasing to be the polite
amusement which many eyaders of the
customs laws have considered it. For
merly contraband was brought into the
country in the romantic fashion. \
reriious landing was made in storm or
darkness and the goods were secreted
on shore before the customs officers got
wind of their arrival. The modern
ocean liner revOlutioniZed the conditions
Of the occupation and eliminated the
romance. Nowadays the smugeler faces
the guardians Of the law and tries to
outwit them by false swearing and art
ful concealment Because the contest
had ceased 10 he one of physical re
source and strategy and become enc Of
stealth and mental audacity. many who
would never have dreamed of r0bbing
the government openly and by force
have been dpludcd into thinking that
the robbery is diyested of all its hei-
nousnesS if conducted pacifically and
with propcr outward formality. No
doubt thousands of Americans pretend
ing To be morally respectable have
STOPPED 70 defraud the customs merely
because il looked Ike SAFE anu lnNl-
ing WAY of saving q few dollars.
Collector Loeb is doing a valuable
reformatOry work in proving that SNUG
Cling involves = foolish financial risk as
well as a reprehensible lapse into Grim
inality. The disgrace Of being caught
and put on exhibition III the courts is
being supplemented by the smart of
money losses and penalties. 4 state
ment made by the Custom House
shows that between April /, 1909 and
March 81. 1910 fines and penalties col
lected at this port from wOuld-be SNUG
clers amounted TO s.. .3S7 .969. The New
Jersey collectors aud courts have also
been busy demonstrating the embarrass-
mentS attending up-tG-date smuggling.
The wide publicity given to the recent
cases here ought TO be very helpful in
arOusing the conscientious scrupleS of
returning travellers who have hitherto
looked upon customs declaration as a
means OF concealing rather than reveal
ing the possession Of articles subject to
duty. Taking q few lessons in Collector
Loeb's Sunday -'-Ool Will save many
normally honest persons from the pain
full experience Of explaining how they
happened TO stray temporarily from the
path Of virtue.

ALIGNED WITH THE KAISER.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Pray accept Tribune readers
most hearty thanks for your admirable
editorial on Sunday, the 2Sth inst, on the
subject of Emperor Williams recent king
1y utterances--utteranc 10 which such
a widespread furry of exception is being
taken by his people.
In these days of utterly urgent mate
rialities when the many claim perfect
right to think for themselves, but some
how leave to the few d leisurely, intelli-
gent exercise of that right. it is quite nat
Ural that every apparent tendency toward
reaction in state affairs meets with d
rather insane reception by hosts of people
whose minds are so completely mixed up
with substantial interests that they be-
come prone to miSapprehend and. in a
measure, fear every official voicing of
truly fine sentiment. The present instance
illustrates with exceeding clearness this
general fact, for it is reported that the
great ma jority of the German nation
100000 of people-appear to be wildly
concerned and anxiously critical just now
about what are, in very truth, nothing
more than certain charmingly romantic
utterances by a man whose thoroughgoing
propriety of action as their constitutional
ruler these twenty. years past cannot be
gainsaid any more than his perfect, nat
ural right to please himself by declaring
whatsoever he likes when being deeply
moved by romantic reflection he voices
beautifully poetic thoughts which nOwise
interfere, and never did interfere, with
right performance of his practical duties
hereditary sovereign, whose living
regard for the constitutional rights Of his
subjects cannot be questioned except by
people foolishly forgetfuI or perhaps total
~ ignorant of the generally great facts of
his reign.

the people, trusting to future recognition
Of the magnanimity of his surrender.
THE New Orleans Picayune" is greatly
impressed by the unselfish devotion
exhibited by the Governor. 1t says of
his letter of Saturday:
This is a magnificent response to what
must be considered a call to duty, and so
great is the sacrifice that it rises to the
heights of heroic patriotism and should
elicit the highest admiration from the
people who have placed the hero where
he is.
An altogether different Interpretation
Is put upon the Governors remuneration
by The New Orleans Times-Democrat,'
which says that the act was not one OF
seIf-sacrifice, but of self-preservation.
Mr. Sanders is the head Of the Demo-
cratic machine in New Orleans. which
has long dominated state politics and
carried primary elections, as "Ihe

ballot boxes \ revolt has begun against

that Mr.. Sanders relinquish the senator

in Washington the incoming Governor
would use the large amount of patronage
at the disposal of the Executive to build
Ut a hostile state organization. That
would mean the end of the machine and
of Sanders. Says The Times-Demo-
crat":
He 1.-THE GovernorI had had numerous
and earnest appeals and petitions from
the politicians, especially from the city
leaders, to abandon his senatorial ambl-
ton and not sacrifice the entire machine
to his selfish interests. When he found
he could not discipline Mr.. Llambremont
he saw that to save his machine he must
resign He might have resigned in answer
to the many prayers and pentlons OF
the politicians; but he saw a better game
and he played it.

HERO Or STR4TEGLSTa

Opinion is divided in Louisiana as
to whether Governor Jared Y. Sanders
ought to be considered a tine-grained
political hero or 4 willy political strate-
gist. The Louisiana Legislature was in
session when Senator Samuel d. Nc
Emery died last June and it elected
Governor Sanders to serve out Mr.. Nc
Encry's term, ending March 3, 1915 II
was the intention of the Senator elect
10 retain the governorship until the
Senate should reassemble next Deem
Der and then retire in favor Of the Lieu
tenant Governor, Mr.. Paul NJ Lambre-
mont. Last Saturday, however, Mr. San
ders announced that he would not quail
ify as Senator and had appointed John
X. Thornton to serve al interim until
the next regular session Of the Legislat-
IRE in 1912. lie also gave notice that he
would he a candidate III the next Demo
cratic primary for Mr.. McEnery's seat
His motives i'll Tenouncing the senator
ship 10 take a chance Of reelection in
campaign still two years off have puz-
zled the Louisiana public and are ii sub
iect Of lively discussion.
The Governor says that he is sacritic-
ing Il lifelong ambition in relinquishing
the senatorship. But he explains that
persons IN New Orleans interested in
making that city the site Of Il Panama
Canal exposition have addressed 10 him
Il letter suggesting that he could do more
rs Governor 10 promote the success of
tie exposition enterprise than he could
as Senator, and that he has yielded to
what he considers high call of duty.

PLANS OF THE PROGRESSTVES.
The announcement Of Mr.. Griscom
after the conference of the Progressive
leaders yesterday that Mr.. Roosevelt S
name would go efore the Republican
State Convention as q candidate Tor
temporary chairman puts the plans or
the PrOgressives in definite form.
Whether the contest over the chairman
shin will occur on the floor of the con-
vention or at meeting of the state
committee to be held before the con-
venti0n is a detail which may be left to
depend upon circumstances. So far as
the contest for the control of the party
is concerned, Colonel Roosevelt himself
embOdieS the issue He was rejected
by the state committee because he vent
ured. in defiance of MessrS- Barnes and
Woodruff. to ally himself with Gov
ernor Hughes in support of direct pri-
marieS and because his sympathy with
the Progressive movement was well
known. His rejection Was deliberate
affront to the best sentiment of the party.
The final choice of Colonel Roosevelt as
temporary chairman Of the state con-
yenticn will mark the end of the old
regime. the power of the petty bosses
who make up the ''old guard will be
broken and the control of the party will
pass over TO the Progressive element,
which has supported Governor Hughes
and which will carry forward his poll
cieS.
The conference also agreed in favor Of
direct nominations. The adoption of
this reform is clearly called for as the
first step in the Progressive movement.
After the recent revelations Of the III
of irresponsible political man.
ayers to the interests of the party and
of their readiness TO sacrifice everything
else TO their own selfish purposes the
people of the state Will insist upon tax
ing the management of party affairs
into their own hands. Messrs. Barnes,
Woodruff and their allies are the eX-
hibits in the case for direct primaries
Their recent conduct will make the de-
mand for direct primaries Irresistible.
