when the time comes q manifestation
of the liveliest interest In the subject
BY both houses of Congress-. and pro-
longed debate. A session of three months.
with the supply bills holding the right of
way, would be too short.
In the second place. it is not an
nounced that the commission Is ready to
report. 1t has held several meetings. and
Is now in session in New York. Other
meetings may be necessary before rec
concentrations to Congress are ready.
In the third place. there has been no
capitalization of public sentiment on the
subject in this country. And such a
thing is most important In such a matter.
What discussion has taken place, in the
press and by business bodies. has shown
some wide differences of opinion. East
and west are far apart If the congress
sional elections had not been on the cards
this year much attention might have
been paid to the currency problem. Many
cities, west. south and in the middle
states. have expressed desire to hear
Mr.: Aldrfchs views, and had the time
been favorable he might have made a
tour Of those sections.
The very interesting speech the senator
delivered in New York Friday night will
be widely read and stimulate discussion
and carries an abundance of valuable in
formation, but, for all that, shows how
far away we are from the solution of the
question.
In the fourth place. the country. by
vote impressive for Size and wide dis
tribution. has just condemned the repub-
lican party and turned to the democracy
That must be considered. While 1t Is
true that currency reform is not strictly
speaking. a political question. yet, broad
ly speaking, politics has more or less
to do with all our public questions. We
deal with them through parties, and
largely under party leadership. 1t will be
asserted. therefore. that the republican
party. after the rebuke 1t has just re-
ceived,s should not undertake in the clos
ing hours of its full congressional and
executive control to impose currency leg
is!ation on the country.
We shall probably see the currency
lprohaAAa go over. and not unlikely be-
come In some form an issue in the next
presidential contest. 1t will not, and
should not, be hurried.

The new NATIONALIST

long time to come.
From the Savannah News.
The new nationalism' got a bully
bump on Tuesday.
From the Brooklyn Citizen.

early future, 1t will not propose any Inn
portant changes in the structure - the

Tuesday and 1919.

Already i'm democratic circles there is
choosing for 1912. Here Mr.. Dix Is fan
lied. There Mr. Wilson looks good. Yon-
der Gov. Harmon is set down as sure
winner.
1t is far too early for this sort OF
thing. These three men, and others. Will
have to meet some severe tests before
the next democratic national convention
assemblies
Take the case of Mr.. Dix His task is
colossal. and he will bring to it no ex-
perience in executive office. And how
will he get along with Charles F. Muir
ply? He could not afford to ignore Mr..
Murphy. because he owes him too much.
Nor could he afford to go too far in his
company. because Tammany in presi-
Dental year might prove a handicap.
Drawing the line will be nice question
for the new governor, with his eye on
the White House, to decide. Mr.. Nc
Clellan, with the same problem in his
hands as mayor, erred on the side of in
dependence and lost his party influence.
Over in New Jersey, Mr.. Wilson has a
difficult way before him. Without ex-
perience in politics, he faces a situation
which might give a veteran politician
srol of that state years ago through an
5verindulgence in bossism. and regains
t largely through the activity of several

time, and this year declared for reform
and made Mr.. Wilson the leader He IS
q man of ideas and firmness, and ac-
@epts his election as a call to do his duty
by all the people of the state. How will
ne get along with men who, If anything,
are practical politicians of the old
school,? And some Of them want Office
Would it help the Wilson presidential
boom for James Smith, j., to appear
again in the Senate?
p. In the case OF Gov. Harmon We have a
man who has made good in the Office to
which he has been reelected. His
friends are sure that he will make good
again. relying, as they do. upon the be-
lief that his experience will be most val
liable to him in the next eighteen months.
And yet. even il that proves to be the
case. this extraordinary majority that
Gov. Harmon has just polled could not

The GREAT SILENCE.

From the Baltimore Evening SUM-
The full magnitude of the democratic

the fact that it has closed the coionei
mouth.
From the New York Sun.

From the Augusta Herald.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.

Maine.

1t is soothing to hear that Maine will
not be annexed to Canada without the
consent OF her own people and the .ap-
prevail of the American national govern
ment. The proposition is striking. but
may not make Roadway rapidly. What
should we do without Maine? And what
would Maine do without her sister states
The authors OF the proposition probably
have in mind the annexation ultimately of
the whole United States. and start mod
estly with one state in order not to cause
a panic in American circles. II there is
to be any change, the Stars and Stripes,
and not the Union Jack, should enlarge its
usefulness.

Police and Confessions.

'ohe uHe ago man was arrested at
East st. Louis. ILL.,. for robbery, who, It
was afterward announced. had confess
ed to the police that he had committed a
murder which had never been solved.
lie gave details Of the killing which were
apparently verified by statement given
by his wife. The man was known as
the candy burglar from the fact that
drug stores were his particular object of
attention and he invariably took candy
with his other loot. His confession was
repeated. and there seemed no room to
question 1t. Now he asserts his inno-
eence Of the murder to which he Is said
to have confessed. and declares that he
was compelled by the police Of East st.
Louis to make his acknowledgment Of
the crime. He charges that he was beat
en with rubber clubs by two assistants
Of the police chief. notwithstanding this
DENTAL. he has been identified by man
whom he attempted to rob on the occa-
sion when the physician who was killed
came to the rescue of the footpad's
victim.
Here is a case where all the evidence
seems to point to guilt. The mans wife's
statement. made at the time Of his con-
fession. tallies perfectly with his story
then told. The identification would seem
to clinch the matter. Yet the mere fact
that he declares that the confession was
",ade under duress is sufficient to throw
doubt upon 1t.
strong prejudice has been evoked in
this country against what are known as
third degree" police methods. A con-
gressional commission is now engaged
in an investigation Of this subject.
Throughout the country police officials
are being more closely restrained in their
handling of suspected persons and pris-
oners are being given greater liberty of
consultation and more protection against
secret inquisitions. The East st. Louis
ease will undoubtedly be investigated
even though the prisoners guilt Is fully
established. 1t does not lessen the Of
tense Of the police II torture was applied
TO the end Of extorting the truth. AT the
same time it is to be remembered that
any clever scoundrel can concoct a story
OF maitreatment and coercion that may
arouse public sympathy without shred
" justification. For their own protec-
ton against the possibility Of suspicion
police organizations In all cities should
insure the presence of unprejudiced and
disinterested witnesses whenever a per
son suspected of crime is held under
examination.

To make our place in history one of it's

disturbed to find
Some marchers going on too fast and
some too far behind.

But we'll have to change our PAGES. Thus
DEGREES the latest news.
And everybody's trying on some other
fellows shoes.
It's a weird and wondrous shifting in
the matter Of attire.
Some hats have grown too small for
heads whose thoughts we still ad-
mire.
Some togas that were neatly filled hans
wrinkled now and slack,
And some of them, alas. are ripped en-
entirely up the back!
But the world must keep on moving and
the marchers must proceed.
Though some be lame and footsore. there
are others for each need.
The trouble with a misfit is the time II

So everybody's trying on some other
fellows shoes.
