The Agent.

In the whole range Of contemporary
politics there are few spectacles more
amusing. mOre appealing than that Of
the Hon. HERBERT PARSONS acting a.
real estate agent for the Hon. CHARLES
EVANS HUGHES. Not that the sight
Of the Hon. Herbert PARsONs in the
agents role has anything Of novelty in IL
Long ago with wise self-appraisement
Mr.. PARSONS recognized that Il he was
10 perform any mission in public life Il
must be that Of an agent. The joyful
phase is the juxtaDOSition Of the two
meg.
The rapidly developing warmth in
the relations between Oyster Bay and
Albany probably explains the real re-
lAtion Of the eX-presiden; Of the New
York county committee and the nearly
e1 Governor Of this State. -IfyOu want
a chcre well done get HERBERT 10 do
it, This has long been familiar advice
in a famous quarter. During all the
time Mr.. PARSONS was in public life
Governor HUGREs naturally refrained
from any personal association with him.
but by his present generous act he has
indicated that il was Mr.. PARsONs's
political. not his business, advice which
he diatrusted
Perhaps in employing Mr.. PARSONS
in this important mission Governor
HUGHEs in his charactcristically gener-
oUs and thoughtful way sought to aid
an ancient antagonist. Like all other
citizens Of this State, he saw that Mr.
PARsoNs's need Of a residence in Wash
ington was practically az an end Is IL
not possible that the Governor Thought
he might take Mr.. PARsoNss own resi-
dence oI the hands Of the retiring Rep
resentative' Would il not be an inspir-
ing example to all students Of public
life thus 10 return good for evil?
Al all events the Governors employ
ment of MIR PARSONS a. an agent has
had aae gnmistakable advantage for
the agent. Il has recalled him once
more 10 public memory.

We are surprised that Governor
HUGHFs has summed the responsible

employers liability act is constitutional
or not. In his memorandum approving
that measure he comedies that It's va
llditv is doubtful to say the least. yet
he concludes TO leave the question 70

The case is very different, however.

He ia soon % take his place on the bench

on the legality of his wife's first mar
riage. Suppose she had been trapped
into a mock ceremony. There was no

People with guilty consciences are

time without feeling perfectly sure
that he was a widower. He had not
been living with his first wife at the
time he had heard of her death, and
he had never been perfectly sure that
the woman who had died was his wife.
He should have Informed the second
Mrs. Jones of this uncertainty, but
had feared that If he did so he would

very slight chance that existed of the
first Mrs. Jones turning up to claim
him and render his second marriage
