A TARIFF REFERENDUM FOR ENGLAND.

HET L. BALFOUR'S statement at a great meeting in London last
AVN night that if the Unionist party was successful in the par
liamentary elections it would submit the question of tariff
reform TO a referendum of the people may have a great effect upon
the election. The Unionist party is divided on the tariff question
and it is sure to lose a large vote if the voters understand that a
Unionist vote means a tariff protection policy for the government
to adopt. While the Liberal party is stanchly for free trade, there
Ire not a few Liberals who are lukewarm in the faith, or who can
be frightened by the threat of losing the foreign market. Mr.. Bal
four's declaration puts a new aspect on the campaign. 1t cuts the
ground from under some of the Liberal partys arguments. 1t may,
indeed, bring about a Unionist triumph. Mr.. Balfour is a shrewd
politician. Probably he had this declaration in his mind long be
fore Parliament was dissolved and saved it for q dramatic moment,
when ii could be made to thrill the country.

GOVERNORS DAY.

OvERNOR'S dag at Trenton always loses its charm for the
Mt politicians of the State in the last six months of a governors
term. Governors day is an important day for politicians,
place-holders and aspirants for Office until all the executive patron
age has been dispensed and the governor has no more favors to hand
out. Then the interest disappears. Every governor has had that
experience. Just previous to his outgoing he feels "lke one who
treads alone a banquet hall deserted" Governor Fort is having
that experience. During the first two years of his administration
on every Tuesday he held levees in his chambers, while the State
House corridors were dfled with visitors from all parts of the State.
There are now few poor enough to do him the usual reverence. Gus
toms change. Will Governors day survive the incoming administra-
ton. or will there be a change in the way of observing it?

Is Entitled 70 Honor.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The recent manly statement OF the
Essex county assemblymen-elect on the
senatorial question .was very crafty
ing to unbiased citizens who, like my
self, have been reading the bitter critt-
cisms and caustic comments from GER
tain inspired sources on the qualiica-
tions for this Office Of James Smith, jr.
The campaign Just closed In this
State and elsewhere has taught us one
lesson, if nothing else-that personal
abuse and ~viliflcation, no matter how
cleverly disguised, does not deceive any
considerable portion OF the public.
During the campaign the Republican
leaders made the reelection Of Mr..
Smith to the United States Senate their
principal, If not their only issue. Car
toons were spread over the State de-
| picting him as the evil influence behind
the Democratic candidate. The Repub-
lican press, in daily editorial warnings,
reiterated again and again that Or.
Wilson's election would mean an i'm
mediate return to power, as the state
boss" of Mr.. Smith, and an ex-cabinet
officer cautioned his audiences nightly,
wherever he found one willing to listen,
that Democratic success meant the re-
election of this powerful dictator &C
the national Senate. We can still re-
call his choice rhetoric when, with
dramatic emphasis, he proclaimed
Woodrow Wilson to be a stalking horse
for James Smith, j.
The Democratic candidates for the
State Legislature were taunted to de-
clare themselves against Mr.. Smith, OF
to submit to overwhelming defeat
Woodrow Wilson was publicly cate
chised concerning his Individual opinion
Of MI. Smith.
Gould any issue have been more con-
cisely, definitely or clearly impressed
on the public mind?
What was the result?
The ex-cabinet officer talked eaci
evening to smaller audiences until ht
finally became discouraged and with
drew from the Stump" III disgust. The
candidates for the State Legislature
with a very few exceptions, refused t.
allow themselves to be intimidated emo
were elected by large m~ajorities. DR.
Wilson wisely and properly declined TX
repudiate the man who was directly
responsible for his selection as thu
Democratic gubernatorial candidate
and was elected by $4,000 majority.
Could any answer have been NOR
emphatic?
Now, as to the public primary ex
preston for senatorial candidates
Very few voters regard this law other
wise than as a silly piece OF legislation
and In its present application 1t is al
most universally regarded as in n,
way binding upon the candidates TO
the State Legislature.
If present conditions had been re
versed at the recent election and tn
next Legislature were to be Republican
1t is a safe guess that the man VIII
received the largest primary vote 70
Senator on the ticket would not hav
been the choice of his party next Jan

A, DlRIdlBLE AIRsHIp SERVICE.

~ MOTHER attempt to cross the Atlantic in a dirigible is to be
"A made from Atlantic City. a duplicate of the Zeppelin
airship is to be built and the aeronauts will be aided by
the knowledge obtained in Welman's unsuccessful attempt. tt is
furthermore proposed to establish an aerial service between large
cities in the East, including Atlantic City. New Workers and others
who want to go to Atlantic City quickly and safely can be taken
thither in spacious accommodations in an airship. This is a serious
business proposition, the success of which is so little doubted that
men readily invest in it.

AS he starts on his Antarctic dash for
the pole Captain Scott will be accom-
panied by the good wishes OF all who
are interested in polar exploration.
There will exist a general, If unex-
pressed, desire that partial success will
not tempt him to come back to civili-
cation with claims greater tina he car
prove. AS a source OF entertainment
that sort Of thing is all right, perhaps,
one q century, but it will not stand
repetition. It is easily possible for the
victims OF q polar hoax to become
satiated with the joke and to show a
disposition TO growl and show their
teeth at a second application. Then,
too, q mai must be peculiarly gifted
by nature If he expects to see a North
or South pole with nothing more
tangible than his minds y and then
cash his claims ae the only original

The smokeless polling place will now
be pointed 10 as of the reforms
accomplished by woman's suffrage. An
ordinance prohibiting smoking in
the booths has just been passed
by the Common Council of Seat
tie. It is said to be the first d.
rect and startling result Of the amend
ment to the Constitution of Washing
ton permitting women TO vote, passed
at the last election. Few voters are
likely to take exception to this inno-
walton. While little fault was found
with the old style, or Pittsburg polling
place, It is possible hat more than one
voter, unable to see his ballot distinctly
through the haze, voted at hazard and
perhaps directly against his convictions.
Accidents OF this kind were, however,
not Of sufficient frequency to any
widespread demand TO be made for the
elimination from the elections of burn
ing tobacco. Now that it has come
to pass in the natural course of events,
the Seattle experiment. as it may
be called, will be watched with the
greatest interest.

Theatres in Chicago have lost an APP
peal on the test case they brought
against the city after the Iroquois fire,
when they were compelled to expend
large sums Of money for alterations in
order to comply with the new city ordi-
nances anent safeguards for theatres.
The theatre bringing the test case
asked for $4,000 damages, the amount
spent in complying with the ordinance.
It is understood now hat the case
has been definitely Abandoned It
will seem to the general public
high time that it should be aban-
doned. In Chicago the action of the
theatres, following the appalling aid un-
-precedented loss of life in the Iroquois

time have seemed exceedingly pre-
s%umptuous, to say the least. But that
