4 CERTAIN CONDESCENSION IN
AMERICA

The number of Americans in Europe
this season taking notes for books of
travel to be written on their return
home is beyond calculation. Yearly
this country sends across the ocean its
armies of tourists, who yearly add to
our library of European travel.
A great change has come over the
tenor Of these books within the last
FIVE years. The two continents have
changed places. The American no
longer tests his own civilization by that
of Europe. secretly apprehensive of the
result. bat confidently tests European
civilization by his own. The certain
condescension in foreigners" of which
Lowell wrote has become Il thing Of
the past. We are in danger of putting
in its place certain condenscension in
Americans often as unreasonabiy preju-
diced This attitude Of conscious SUI
periority crops up time and again in
current books of American travel. which

MORE BOROUGH SCANDALS.

The courts will now undertake an
investigation of the curiositieS of ad-
ministration in the Borough of Queens
While the borough governments were
being subjected to critical examination
under Mayor McClellan's regime Queens
somehow escaped the dragnet. Inc
doings of President Ahearn in Man
haitian and of President Haffen in 1he
Bronx occupied the investigators so
completely that they had no time left
to delve deeply into possible tntermlXt-
ures of politics and business of Il SINH
lar order in the other subdlvlslons OF
the city There was hurried eXamlha-
ton of atiministra tive methods in Brook
lyn. and not even a perfunctory one III
Richmond. which didn't need one, or IN
Queens. which seems TO have needed one
very much.
Conditions in Queens have been dis
coura ging from the point of view OF
municipal efficiency and integrity. The
kisSena Park scandal suggested the
existence of a good deal of rottenness
not far beneath the surface. Borough
President Bermel resigned in haste, pre-
sumably to escape investigation. and
under both the Cassidy and the Gresser
administrations pretty much the same
ideals of political virtue and opportunity
seem to have prevailed as were illus
trated when Long Island City was still
ali entity and its Mayors chair was
filed by that statesmanlike brandisher
of battle axes. the Hon Pat Gleason.
Queens Borough seems still to be a
fruitful field for the Tammany type of
petty politician whose only idea of
holding office or exercising power is to
squeeze some extra-legal profit out of
it for himself and his political depend
ents It is to be hoped that an inveSti-
CATION as thorough as those which re
suited In the removal of Mr.. Ahearn in
Manhattan and of Mr.. Haffen in The
Bronx will now be pushed in Queens.
1t is the one borough which still clings
10 notions of what's what in politics
which are beginning to be considered
primitive even by Tammany.
The exposure of ton
in the borough governments has been
used as an argument for abolishing the
borough system. Undoubtedly. bad re-
suits have come from intrlsting power
in the boroughs to politicians intent on
using it for private rather than for
public advantage But it would be
unfair to condemn a system as bad
because 1t has worked badly in in
efficient hands. The administration of
the Borough of Richmond has always
been above reproach, and under the
presidents now in office in Manhattan.
The Bronx and Brooklyn local admin
fstration is becoming thoroughly clean
and efficient. 1t will be time to judge
the borough idea fairly when all the
heads of the boroughs are men of as
high character and as large a sense. of
public responsibility as the men we are
accustomed to elect as Mayor, Controller
and President of the Board of Alder
men.

times, and each time with increasing saus-
faction in its completeness and beautlful
fitness as memorial. The very atmosphere
is charged with the spirit OF reverence.
The tone of the rooms. the speel,ic

morning AT the bottom of the staiTs-Wnat
an exquisite tribute to the poet OF poets!
Henry w Cannon writes:
The place has beer fitted up in excellent
taste and is being conducted by Mr.. Gay
in a very interesting and intelligent way
In view of the fact that much larger
rroportion of the funds for the memorial
were contributed by Americans than by
English, the London committee has set on
foot a project for a matinee of great inter
est for the benefit of the memorial. This
was to have taken place in June. but was
postponed for year by reason of the death
of King Edward, the Princess of Wales
(noW her majesty the Queen) having been
the chief patroness of the affair. Mean
while certain plans of the Roman commit
tee for improvements in the house are held
in allowance and the secretary. H. Nelson
Cav. desires me to announce that S2oO Is
desired from America to complete them
There must be many lovers of the work
of these poets who have not yet had the
pleasure of contributing to this beautiful
and appropriate tribute to them In the
house In which Keats lived and died, and
which has been purchased for the purpose
bv the fund. From such or from those
who are already subscribers I shall be glad
TO receive contributions in any amount to
be forwarded to Mr.. Gay.

LaROR " CONGRESS-.

The opinion which was recently eA-
pressed by the secretary Of the American
Federation of Labor concerning the next
Congress was doubtless the offspring Of
strong desire on the part Of the speaker
and his associates That its unqualified
realization would he for the welfare Of
the nation at large, or Of the working
people who form its great majority. or,
even in the last analysis. of that "organ-
ized labor" for which Mr.. Morrison spoke
and which constitutes a comparatively
small minority Of the population, may
seriously be doubted. We may, in fact,
pretty confidently assert that such reali-
zation would establish a principle con-
trary TO American republicanism or de-
Inecracy and potentially mischievous-
Mr. Morrison thought that the next
Congress would contain majority Of
Representatives fayorably disposed tow
ard the legislation advocated by organ
ized labor If that legislation were
wholly good We should Of course hope
that the majority would vote for its
enactment. But there is reason for fear
ing that II will not he wholly good but
viii contain some pernicious proposals,
such as that which was made at the
last session 70 exempt labor corporations
from the equal operation Of the corpora
ton law, and which President Taft wise
ly and bravely defeated. In that case it
would be lamentabIe to have the ma jor-
fry vote for bad measures.
The point which we would empha size
is, however. that. whether good or bad.
legislation should be enacted or defeated
on its merits. with reference TO the wei
fare Of the entire people, and not be
cause il is advocated by this Organiza-
tion or opposed by that. Glass legislation
as such has always been odiOus, as it
should be: and legislation which is
enacted because ii is advocated by a
class and which is thus advocated be-
cause il is calculated TO benefit. that
class alone or chiefly is class legislation
And that is something which working
people above all ought to deprecate
Their contention from time immemorial
has been against class diScrimina ton
and special privilege and for equal priv
ileges and equal penalties for all: and
that contention is right and should pre-
vail
II is sincerely to he hoped that the
ma jority in the next Congress will be
favorabiy disposed toward legislation in
the real interest Of labor. because
that would be IN the interest of the
nation. and We know that there are
some very important legislative prob
larns in connection with industrial
ism which urgently demand solution
But il would be unfortunate and olni-
nous If that majority were blindly
70 accept dictation from any corporation.
or league of corporations, or federation
or class organization of any kind. 1t is
easy to imagine the righteous indfgna-
,ion which would be aroused at the
knowledge that the majority IN Congress
was fsvorahly disposed toward any
epeciaI legislation which might be ahFo-
Gated by some organization OF employers
