TNFERENCES.

The late Don Piatt. in his palmy days
wrote one of his ablest satires on What
Shall We Do with Our Ex-Presidents:'
Were he still alive and in good form
there might issue from his pen an equal
~ entertaining essay on What We
Should Not Do with Our EX-Presidents.'
There IS probably no man in American
public life more capable Of defending
himself than ex-President Roosevelt. but
even he is largely at the mercy of those
determined to see III his every act
some deep significance, and even to as
sprt as facts differences which too often
emanate from minds lacking in political
sagacity and wholly devoid Of humor.
An intimate friend of the colonel
calls to say gOodby and remarks that
he Is departing for an extended trip 10
the West. in the course Of which he will
make two or three speeches in support
OF an insurgent candidate for Governor
of a Western state and discuss a more
academic question at Il dinner Of Il Mid
die Western club. Immediately it is
heraIded to the world that ex-PreSident
Roosevelt has sent" his friend West
for the purpose or making these
speeches. \ former member of Mr.
RoOsevelt'S Cabinet. who was as we'll an
intimate friend of the eX-Presidents
family. calls at Oyster Bay and spends
the night. and when, thereafter. this
youthful statesman happens to deliver a
speech which strikingly resembles a So
cialist platform. the colonel is charged
with it's authorship. A little group Of

4 SrR4NGE COMPLAINT.

We are not little puzzled by the rea-
sons which our generally consistent JEFF
fersonian contemporary. The Philadei-
nhia Record" " gives for being utterly dis
satisfied with the new federal campaign
publicity law. 1t condemns the statute
because its provisions apply only TO po-
Iitical committees influencing elections
for Representatives in Congress in more
than one state. "E'ie on such restT1c-
ton" SAYS The Record" There is only
one committee. the Congressional cam
paign committee, which undertakes
regularly to influence elections for Con-
.resS in the several states. although the
national committee Of each party takes
q hand also in years when Presidential
and Vice-Presidential electors as well
as REPRESENTATIVES in Congress are to
be chosen At best, The Record
argues. these committees only distribute
campaign literature. They leave the
practical work of reaching the voters to
candidates and district committees, ana
candidates and district committees are
not amenable to the federal law. There
fore. the law IS dismissed as merely
designed to deceive people who insisted
ION some restriction of corrupt prac-
"tices"
Yet what Il howl of JefferSonian IN
dignation would have arisen if Congress
had undertaken 10 compel citizens Of
state enga ging in political campaign
within state lines TO report their receipts
and expenditures to the clerk OF the
House of Representatives, That would
have been condemned us a gross viola
ton of the fundamental principle of
state rights. Congress did not attempt
10 assert jurisdiction over the operations
of a committee acting within a single
state and subject to that states super
vision. II held that committee must
be interstate or federal in character to
come within the scope of the federal
authority. The supporters of the law in
Congress and out of it never dreamed of
making it apply TO individual candidates
or 10 local organizations. What they
wanted was to enforce an accounting on
the part of national Or party national
committees. leaving state committees
and individuals subject, as they now are.
to the corrupt practices laws Of the
states. They got what they asked. and
would he astOnishCd TO know that they
deceived themselves or deceived the gen
eral public To secure a strict account
ing of money contributed and spent for
political purposes the states and the fed
eral authorities must work together. To
a strict conStitionalSt II ought TO be un-
thinkable that the states should seek to
throw the whole burden of protecting
elections upon the central government,

ENcRoACHlNG ON THE HOME

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Under the caption The Menace OF
Paternalism" The Baltimore Star" re-
Gently gave a timely chapter from The
Tribune in which was shown the enCroach-
ments of the state upon the child and the
home This paternalsm is really social
ism. and the proof that It is the socialists
themselves furnish in that they are the
foremost in demanding state control of the
child and the aged we'll
Next to the socialists in paternalistiC de-
nlands come the educators, the social work
ers the philanthropists, the clubwomen
and the politicians. From giving the child
q state education, it is now demanded that
attendance. nurses. tooth brushes, play
grounds and play professors as a part OF
the state free gift also.
To stop this growing paternalism and so
cfalism all municipal, state and national
measures which lean that way must be
checked All candidates for public office
must be made to acknowledge their stand,
and as Senator Dick has said. political
fights must be narrowed down TO socialism
as one issue and individuaHsm as the other
Bryan and Hearst are. like Roosevelt, in
their measure, playing to paternahsm and
socialism Both are ready at any minute
TO acqulesce in any socialistic fad of the
hour that promises them public support.
The need of the hour is for men who can

economy FRANCIS B. LIVESEY.

THE H4NCHURIAN TREATY.

The text of the Manchurian treaty

that end. they being partners rather than
rivals in the exploitation of that prov

We said the other day that the gist
of the matter would probably be found

quo. and that assumption is now yeri-
fed The intent seems to be that the
existing control of Manchurian railroads
by Russia and Japan shall continue to
the end of the specified term. To that no
objection can he made. since il is only
the fulilment of a compact Of years ago
in which the world acquiesced though
we must regret il and think that it
would be wiser for the two powers 10
accept Secretary Knox's suggestion of
naturalization.
II has not yet been made cOnvincinglv

maintenance Of Russias and Japan's
existing railroad rights IN Manchuria is
Incompatible with The construction by
China herself of other lines in other
