THE TALK OF THE DAY.

The new French 1Oo-franc note is the SUBJ
ject of humorous critical article IN the
current number Of the "Chronique Medi-
GALE in an introduction to an extract
from the article French paper says that
to some people 1t might seem strange that a
physician should turn art critic, but the
learned man does not depart from his
sphere in his criticism nor does he init
mate that despite its artistic defects he
will refuse to accept notes of the kind
and denomination referred to. A child de-
picted in the foreground is said to stand
firmly upon its left foot, but the right one
hardly touches the ground. The face in
dicates health, which makes the medical
critic believe that the subject had no hip
disease. The little lamb which the child
holds in its arms has wool on it's head and
tail, but otherwise is absolutely bare. In
the same group there IS a woman whose
hand appears to be broken. The working
man, who is the dominant figure of the
background, appears to be holding an in
jured knee with his hand. Fortuna also
has place on the note. and the critic says
that the inequality in the length Of her legs
must be apparent to any one who looks
upon the picture. Otherwise the note is
all right"

SAMUEL D. MENERY.

Samuel D. McEnery, who died yester-
day, occupied a unique position In the
United States Senate. He had been a
Democrat all his life, had fought in the
Confederate army, gone through recon
struction in Louisiana, served that state,
after the reconstruction fabric had been
swept away, as Governor and Supreme
Court justice and had been elected and
re elected as a Senator by Legislature
with a solid Democratic membership.
His technical party allegiance was be-
ycnd question. Yet no other Democratic
Senator has ever given so continuous a
support to Republican policies and meas
ures and retained his standing in the
Democratic party. Mr.. McEnery was a
Democrat on local and state issues. but
in national politics his sympathies and
tendencies were broadly Republican
The Louisiana Senator had a clear
and logical mind. He differed from
most of his Southern associates In being
willing to give the Republican party
credit for the benefits which its policies
conferred upon the South and to sun-
port those policies openly, instead of
opposing them both in and out of Con-
gress, while at the same time trying to
make use of them under cover There
have been many Southern statesmen
who have fought, bled and died" for
protection to local products and indus.
tries, but they have generally preferred
to cloak their desire for protection un-
der the pretence Of raising larger rev.
enue Tor the government. and have de-
clined TO cooperate with other states
and sections seeking similar protection
for their products and industries.
Mr.. McEnery was not a statesman OF
that circumscribed and circuitous sort.
He believed in protection for Louisiana's
Industries, and WAS willing to vote an
equivalent protection to industries in
all other parts of the country. He was
nationalist and not sectionalist He
stood alone On the Democratic side of

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
SETTING AN EXAMPLE FOR CUBA.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir. I learn by the public press that a
bill Iegalizing the revival OF bullhghts III
Havana has been favorably reported iroii'
q committee of the House and is no"
awaiting further action in the CUBAN leg
tsIature A statement is likewise Ihaue
that the bill gives a company, the capitai
Of which is principally American, the ex-
elusive concession for thirty years TO oper-
ate q Monte Carlo on tract or Iano near
Camp Columbia, at which the attractlohs
will be gambling games, bullhghts' coch-
fights, horse races and other sports Ihe
object of the bill. It is declared, Is TO at
tract tourists to Havana.
There are very few Of the better and
more representative class Of American cit1-
zens who will not read a notice of this de-
scription with deep regret Cuba owes
much to America, and can well afrord 10
heed the example and the precepts OF the
nation which made her free. BY unani-
nous consent the more advanced nations
OF the earth, those highest in culture and
civilization, and also in the arts Of peace
and war; have eliminated brutal sports
from ths list of their pastimes. It is no
longer regarded as manly or calculated to
develop a proper national character that
d
to indulge in sports which are brutal and
bloody.
We hope that It IS not asking too much
of the Cuban people that they should try
to educate themselves for the highest de-
velopment which can mark the history of
a successful self-governing nation. Just
SO surely as the people of Cuba are allowed
by their government to be debauched by
gambling and by degrading sports. so will
their national character gradually become
more and more degraded until they will
cease to be self-governing and become
merely an annex to some nation with 3
stronger and truer moral fibre If It is not
given to her statesmen to recognize tbs
fact and to build wisely and well for me
future they will have to learn nard
experience. Practices of this st:.it. can only
earn the contempt Of the m g powerful
and higher civilized nations. In the name
of humanity and for the sake of her own
possible great future, the humanitarians
of America call upon the Cuban people
and the Cuban Congress to set their faces
against these evidences of decay and racial
degeneration.

NEW YORK SOCIETY.

Many persons are leaving town and the
suburban resorts to join the various yacht
ing parties that have been organized in
connection with the Harvard-Yale boatrace
tomorrow. The harbor at New London is
already crowded with pleasure craft OF
every description, and tonight there Will
be much entertaining on board, as well as
on land. while fllumfnations on the water
and on shore will give much brilliancy to
the scene this evening.
The crowd at the race tomorrow prom
ises to be larger than ever, and there are
few families in New York society that do
not have a direct interest IN the contest
through the aff1liation Of one or more Of
it's members with Harvard or Yale, either
as an undergraduate or as an alumnus.

he risked neither ostracism nor defeat
by that exhibition Of political con
sistency. His state was willing to re-
turn him to the Senate as long as he
lived, to act In that body with the Re
publican majority, though it was not
willing itself to be committed openly to
Republicanism. 1t honored directness
and candor on Mr.. McEnery's part
which 1t considered entirely appropriate,
though for its own purposes not as yet
practicable. 1t will now be put to the
embarrassment of supplying his place
with a Democrat as free as he was from
the sense Of petty obligation to unwise
and undesirable Democratic principles.
New-York tribune., 1910-06-29
ExTRADTTION AND EQUITY.

1t would be deplorable to have this
Charlton case result in the escape Of a
confessed criminal For that miscar-
riage Of justice, however, the Italian
government would be more culpable than
our own.
The case is simple. The Italian gov
ernment itself refuses to grant extrad1-
ton of criminals as 1t is elsewhere
granted, and yet demands that the
United States. shall grant it. The
United States government insists that
there shall be equitable reciprocity In
extradition. The weight Of logic and
equity is surely on our side.
The italian contention is that Italians
can be tried In Italy for crimes COM
mitted In America, since italian law
invests Italian courts with that 5ur1s-
diction. American courts have no such
Jurisdiction. Again, we must regard
our own position and practice as prefer
able to Italy's and as more accordant
with the general principles Of civilized
nations. There are serious objections to
trying a man thousands Of miles from
the scene, the circumstances and the
material witnesses Of his crime.
1t is not convincing, either, to say that
Italy displays generosity In offering to
bear the expense Of trying an American
for q crime against another American.
The United States has been equally
ready to bear the expense Of trying
numerous Italians for crimes committed
against other Italians; but the Italian
government has refused to surrender
them to its jurisdiction.
1t is desirable that Charlton shall be
dealt with according to his deserts. It
is still more desira BILE that there shall
be equity In extradition and equality Of
trea tment between the two countries.

TIE LAST OF ITS KIND.

The notice given by President Taft
thar be viii sign no more river and har-
hor appropriation acts constructed ac-
cording 70 the old method may be ac-
cepted as the death knell of one of the
most ancient and most costly forms of
legislative log rolling The method now
condemned was perfected years ago. and
me waste it entailed was greater in pro-
portion twenty or thirty years ago than
II Is today. In the last two decades it
has been harder 10 get river and harbor
appropriations recommended than it used
@ be. Formerly when statesman who
was known to be willing 10 work for
the old flag and an appropriation" hap
pened TO be so unfortunate as TO have
10 harbor OF navigable stream within his
state or district he was encouraged TO
discover flowing water which might some
day be developed into a highway of
transportation Those were the DAYS
when Congress was not averse 20 cast
ing money upon the waters Of such con-
structiYely navigable rivers as ''the roar
ing KiskiIninetas," on the theory that #
would return in the shape OF willing sup
port OF larger appropriations for river
and harbor improvements which were
really worth while
The idea that ali river and harbor i'm
provements ought TO be worth while has
been slow in taking root. Great credit is
due to Theodore E. Burton for the elm
nation OF & great deal of waste and
favoritism from river and harbor meas
ures. AS chairman Of the House Com
uittee on Rivers and Harbors he set up
new standard-that Of measuring ap-
priations by the benefits likely to re-
suit from the Improvements and of dis
regarding mere personal or sectional de-
nands for recognition. In his long ser
vice at the head Of the committee he
thoroughly Convinced the House that he
considered all river anf harbor projects
from the point Of view Of merit only. In
the popular branch log rolling was
checked. But il has continued more or
less in vogue il the Senate, where local
interests always have larger play. The

THIEVES AND PERHAPS WORSE

Among the bills which were passed by
the Legislature at its late session, and
which have received the signature Of the
Governor, and thus become laws, is one
which is of special interest to some of
the most pestiferous gentry Of our day,
and which definitely fixes their status
before the law precisely as it has hith-
erto been generally fixed in the minds OF
sane and honest persons
The measure in question provides In
effect that any chauffeur who takes out,
uses or operates an automobile without
the consent of its owner shall be deemed
guilty Of grand larceny. That is to say,
he is a thief We believe that that is
the correct name for person who takes
another's property for his own use sur
reptitiously and without the owner s
consent, and we know of no reason why
property in automobiles should be less
protected by the law than property In
money or in chickens. The rascal who
robs a garage is fittingly placed in the
same category with him who loots a
bank or henroost
1t win be well, also, to note carefully
the further logical bearings Of this rule.
The criminal who commits second fel-
ony as an incident to the first, even
though unintentionally, Is held to be
guilty Of them both. Now, to take out
machine without permission is a fel-
ony, and if in the course of SO doing or
of getting away with the stolen car
the fellow runs down and mains or
kills some person his culpability be-
comes most serious. A thief who kills a
man while he is in the act Of escaping
with his plunder is uncomfortably like
murderer, and that is the description
Of the chauffeur who kills man with a
stolen car.
AS large proportion of killings with
automobiles have been accomplished by
"joy riding" chauffeurs, this determina-
tion Of the legal status Of such offenders
is of direct interest.
