THURSDAY, APRIL 2s
An Outworn Greed

We cannot agree with the senti-
ments expressed in the address OF
Attorney General Wickersham at Chi
cago on April 9. The Attorney Cen
eral sought to defend the Taft ad-
ministration, claiming that marvel
GUS amount of effective work had
been done in the one short year OF the
Taft regime. With this we are not
for the present moment concerned. 1t
is with what the speaker said In ref
erence to the duty of Republicans, as
typical of all party men, that we take
exception.
Among other things the Attorney
General said: "He that hath no 'stom-
ach to the fight let him depart. Trea-
son has >ever consisted in giving aid
and comfort to the enemy. II any
one wishes to join the Democratic
party. let him do so. But let him not
claim to be a Republican and in and
out of season work to defeat Republi-
can measures and to subvert the in
fuence of the Republican President y
Reference is evidently made in
these remarks to the Insurgents, 80
called, those who, having become dis
gusted with the halfway measures of
Q party which promised the people
full measures, now seek to whip the
party into line by forcing them to
follow the will Of the people. We
take issue with the statement that
one must follow. blindIy the party
boss or the party leader whether that
boss OF leader be faithful to the trus.
Of leadership reposed In him. We
take issue with any such gag methods
of forcing men into line under the
banner of party name. And that Is
precisely what the Wickersham non
sense means.
Wickersham and strong party ad-
heyents like him are bound to realize
sooner or later that they are in the
hopeless minority. In every part of
the United States today Insurgency, Or
independence of thought and action so
far as that thought and action has to
do with the politics of the nation, ia
fast on the increase. Scratch the
back of any party man and you will
discover symptoms of Insurgency. 1t
has got into the blood of the people.
1t is mighty good thing that It has,
too. 1t will purify the political life
Of the people and will make new
alignments, break up old corrupt or
ganizations, create new leaders, give
the young men chahce. and work
salutary benefits generally upon man
kind.
No. the day. has long since past
when a Wickersham whip will have
any terrors for the average American
voter. BY the good old process of
education, we are slowly getting our
eyes opened to the remarkable bene-
fits of government of. by and for the
people, and the more our eyes get OPP
ened the more we see to do; and the
more the Individual voter sees to do,
the more independent he gets and the
more Insurgency we have in the coun-
try.
It's logical outcome; Wickersham

Driscoll Agrees That Restaurants
NAV Keep Open as Before.

Chinese merchants have arisen to the
occasion" in response to Deputy Police
Commissioner Driscoll's order that no white
persons be permitted in Chinatown after
the midnight hour. As a result, according
TO their story, the first deputy has in
formed them that ne realizes he cannot
prevent restaurants and other respectable
esta blishmcnts from keeping open twenty
four hours each day il they desire 10 do so.
Lee Lok, chairman Of an association of
Chinese merchants. said there were other
sections of the town in which crime was
much more frequent than in Chinatown,
and that the bad reputation OF the district
had not been caused by inhabitants, but
by 'driftWood" that has accumulated about
Chinatown from all parts Of the country.
These men, he said. go 50 far as to

SCHOOLGIRL OR SMUGGLER
Cut Tags from Gowns So Friends
Couldn't Duplicate Them.

Miss Hortense NJ. Harder, daughter of
Victor A. Harder, a big realty and con-
struction man in Brooklyn. was seasick on
her way over on board the Kaisern Au-
guste Victoria, which arrived on Satur-
day. She has been at school in Paris for
year. and before she left the French capi-
tai she cut out the tags which showed that
seven of her gowns had been made by
Pacquin, Halle, DrecOll, Douillet and other
famous dressmGkers.
She explained yesterday that this was not
at all to deceive the customs authorities at
this port, but merely that her friends to
whom she showed the gowns would not
know where to get them. 1t so happened,
however, that those seven gowns were not
entered on her customs declaration, which
accounted for only three Partisan gowns
and other wearing apparel. valued at 1864.
Mrs Harder, who came over on the ship
with her daughter, had made declaration
covering everything she brought in. Miss
Harder said she prepared a memorandum
before leaving Paris, but, having lost it,
she was too i'll to prepare a complete
declaration. The gowns were seized.
