Washington the Place.

Undoubtedly the exposition idea in this

A New Zealand Example.

A good many of US still think of social
tstic measures as if they meant waving
the red flag, end yet in some places
where socialistic tendencies have influ-
eneed legislation the result has been sue
cessful and not harmful.
OF such sort is the legislation of New
Zealand affecting the relations Of labor
and capital. The compulsory arbitration
law of that eountry-eonsiderabl in ad-
vance of what the present state Of pub
lie opinion would indorse in this coun-
try-has practically abolished strikes. and
established relations between employers
end employees that. if not cordial, are at
least harmonious.
Three factors are recognized In this
New Zealand legislative enactment-cap-
ital, labor. and the state. Representa-
tives Of each Of these factors form the
court of arbitration. Back of the arbi-
tration court is the New Zealand govern
ment. which claims that a strike is a dis
turber or the public peace and must be
prevented. 1t points out that education
is compulsory. and so IS taxation. and
that arbitration is really law, and IS
therefore, also compulsory.
The people recognize this view; they
know. too. that compulsory arbitration
is beneficial 10 both sides Of a dispute;
is beneficial TO the state; prevents the
blocking OF the wheels OF progress. the
stopping of work, and the creation of
paupers by reason Of factories shut down
And care has been taken that arbitra-
ton shall harm no one uniustly. If there
is dispute about wages, the arbitration

ployer into court to show not only the
wages paid, but the profits earned. And

tory has not been allowed to shut down.

Censoring the STAGE

There has been. on and of, a good deal
of discussion about the need Of a dramatic
censor in this country. most of the talk
on the subject being evoked by the pro-
duction in New York and elsewhere OF
theatrical entertainments whose appeal
was sheer vulgarity and indecency, and
whose influence was bound to be baneful
and subversive Of public morals.
It has always been thought, We believe,
that any step toward creating an Office
of dramatic censor. such as they now
have in Great Britain, for instance
would be frank confession on our part
OF the failure OF public opinion; but. fortu-
nately for Us as a people, there is every
indication that the situation has brought
forth its own remedy.
It is obvious that the duty Of preventing
public immortality devolyes on the mayor
and the police of municipality. and In
great many cases these officials have
proved themselves entirely adequate to
act in the public interest It was the
mayor Of Boston, we believe, who first
displayed his power IN this direction when
he notified New York manager that his
production. which had enjoyed long run
in New York. would not be allowed to
open in Boston, That play was compare
lively harmless, when we consider how
much further in the matter of llbldinous
displays later theatrical attractions went.
The example set by the mayor OF Boston
has been followed during the past year
by the mayors of New York, Chicago,
Philadelphia, and other cities, not omit
ting Washington, where the Commission
ers acted, There has been no concerted
movement among these officials 70 purify
the drama; each mayor has acted indie
pendently. but the effect has been the
same
Theatrical managers are keenly alive
10 their own interests. and It cannot be
doubted that the dramatic censorship
exercised by the mayors of many cities
WIN have the effect of encouraging clean
plays and spectacles and preventing the
production Of salacious shows There Is
no excuse at all for indeoency on the
stage. and when once public opinion on
the subject has made itself manifest.
theatrical managers win cease trying to
purYey It.
1t has been proved that there is no need
OF dramatic censor Ia this country. The

Encouraging to the Administration.

Iowa and Wisconsin are not anti-ad-
ministration. Recent events are eoncIu-
sive on this point
The insurgent movement apparently
has been magnihed out Of all proportions
In those States. If recent events mean
snything-and undoubtedly they are full
of meaning-they mean that the regulars
OF the Republican party are largely in
the ascendency and will present a fairly
compact front to the enemy at the next
election. Evidence is lacking of any
marked disposition 10 repudiate the Pres
ident and his policies.
On clean-cut issue OF CannOnisn,
Walter / Smith. a stand-pat adherent
Of Uncle Joe" and member Of the House
Committee on Rules, won a renomina-
ton without great difficulty. Especial
significance attaches to this outcome. but
more still to the fact that the results Of
the Iowa primary as a whole give the
administration or anti-Cummins forces
control OF the party organization for two
years TO come
Wisconsin Republicans. as shown by
their state convention, unquallfedly sup
port the administration.
OF course. these signs Of party loyalty
and unity do not indicate necessarily a
disappearance Of popular dissatisfaction.
That the country is in a fault-finding
mood has been obvious TO all observers
for months past. Conditions have made
for public discomfort. But it IS begin
ming TO be likewise obvious that this
popular discomfort is not to be turned
readily TO the advantage OF an ambitious
faction within the party.
There is a lesson in all this for our
Democratic friends. It tells them that
the split in the ranks OF their easily
recuperated and always formidable foe
is by no means as menacing as they have
been led TO believe. Moreover. II tells
them that the November election viii be
fraught with uncertainty, and that the
promising omens of to-day cannot be de-
pended upon wholly
