Socialism and ChautauQuas.

What explains the offer Of $3.50 a night
for Chautauqua lectures made to Mayor
Seidel Of Milwaukee? Widespread inter-
est in socialism, which he represents, or
mere curiosity about the man? Did the
platform managers bank upon an idea
that the public is eager for a discussion
of the subject by a leader of the cause
or upon knowledge. derived from ex-
perience, of the proper time for exhibit
ing q celebrity?
From a financial point of view the offer
must have beer tempting. Mr. Seidel is
a poor man, and here was an opportunity
TO clean up twelve or fifteen thousand
dollars in a few months. He was put on
equality as an attraction" with Mr..
Bryan and Mr. La Toilette. But the Of
fer was declined. Mr.. Seidel will give his
whole time to the duties Of the office to
which he has been elected.
This is something like. Here is a man
who is putting his cause above the dol
lar. He is far more eager to serve the
people In the post OF mayor than to fill
his own pockets with gate receipts. His
cause Is in a measure on trial in his Of
fetal person. II he and his friends give
Milwaukee. not an ideal government, but
one of honesty and efficiency. the gain
for socialism will be much in that city,
and the interests of the cause may be
forwarded elsewhere. On the other hand.
should he neglect his official duties, and
go chasing after coin, his administration
would suffer. and might fail outright.
Mr.. Seidels case, however, is not SIM
liar to that of Mr.. Bryan. or Mr.. La Fol-
Iette. Mr.. Bryan is at liberty to make
engagements. He holds no Office. and
nesIecfs no public duties while on lee
ture tours. Mr.. La Toilette does hold
office, but does not lecture while its du-
ties call him here. His time is his own
when Congress is in recess.
But Mr. Seidel may be only postponine
an opportunity. He may NIL his pockets
later. and then under circumstances max.
ing Ii entirely safe and proper. Socialism
has a footi1old now in Wisconsin. and
he is it's leading Official expression. II ht
succeeds as mayor he may go higher
His party may try next for congressiona
representation, and even for state con
troll And should he be promoted to tn,
House Of Representatives. or to the gov
ernor's chair, his value as a Chautauqus
attraction would be increased, aut
time then be at his command to accep
such engagements. AS celebrity h,
may keep"
At any rate, the man in this matter
starts well, and IL the spirit manifested
is a sample of him, his party is fortunat,
in his leadership.

Hughes for the Bench.

The qualifications of Gov. Hughes for
the Supreme bench are so ample, moth
ing but praise on that score can be said
of his appointment TO the Brewer va
cancy. His knowledge of the law, his
character as a man, and his vigorous
middle age, all warrant service in our
highest court of great value to the coun-
try His associates there will receive
him not only with respect, but admira-
ton. All know his worth. and all real
ize, as others do. that the court Will be
strengthened by his presence.
But the political world, and especially
of New York at this time, loses heavily.
man of unusual gifts for leadership,
and of unusual success as a leader. is re-
moved from that field for good. And re-
moved at once. 1t will not signify il the
change at Albany is delayed until Octo-
her. In effect, Gov. Hughes, certain Of
confirmation as justice. is already elini-
mated from the political equation. His
sympathy will of course be with his party
in the coming campaign, but the value of
his voice on the stump is lost
Ii did not receive much open express
sion, but there was strong feeling in
New York that Gov. Hughes should be
drafted for another race for governor.
OF. if not. held in reserve for the sem
atorship which will be one of the prizes
of this years contest. His hold upon
the voters. and particularly the independ-
ent voters, was SO strong, many men,
with great respect for his legal equip
ment. and equally great respect for the
Supreme Court, heard the discussion of
mis- name in connection with the bench
with extreme regret
When the Senate was mentioned these
men pointed out how fortunate it would
be for New York. and for the country.
if Gov. Hughes were sent to keep Mr..
Root company. That would give the
state such prestige in the Senate as it
had not enjoyed in many years. Two
lawyers of the first rank, in a body prac-
tically of lawyers, would fifty represent
the Empire state of the Union, with
its enormous interests so intimately af-
fected by national legislation.
1t is too soon to speculate with safety
or effect on the result of this appoint
ment on the New York political situation.
The Hughes policies, we are told will
hold. even with their author removed
from the field. They may, but it is
going to take very nice management and
the highest order of leadership to set the
republican squadrons in the field with
success. Naturally Mr.. Roosevelt's in
fiuence is suggested. Undoubtedly his
party will have the benefit OF that But
even that will have TO be employed with
extraordinary adjustment and yigor, for
the republican situation is fuller of
complications and difficulties than ever
has been known before

From the Kansas City Star.

Is the speedy motor car an obstacle to

more apt to give themselves reasonable

Is available? At any rate the habit is q
bad one.

Culberson.

The country will hear with pleasure Of
the improvement i'm Mr.. Culberson' S

whom the country at large takes much

reckoned in politics. and are progressive

ment of either would be a public loss.
