Cabinet. diplomatic corps and the judi
ciary. In theory it is all right; actually
il will be interpreted as evidence of
gratuitoGs friendliness toward Uncle
joe on the part of the President.
These comments create the impression
that the entertainment planned i'll the
Speakers honor had a personal rather
than an official character AS matter
of fact, the President in giving state
dinners of this sort acts in his official
capacity. and receives his guests III
like capacity The honor is done TO the
Office rather than to the incumbent of
the office. It is not Il fact that the
Speakers dinner" was originated by
President Taft President Roosevelt
originated it two years ago when he
found that questions Of precedence made
it inconvenient to invite the Speaker to
any of the other official dinners on the
White House programme. Mr.. Taft sim
ply followed Il custom originated by MS
predecessor. intended TO show mark OK
respect to the office Of Speaker rather
than 10 any temporary occupant.
1t is absurd TO attach personal or
political significance to the exchange OF
social civilities between high officers OF
the government If the Speaker had
happened TO be n Democrat he would
have been honored by Mr.. Taft just as
Mr.. Cannon has been. and 10 one could
have evolved the curious theory that III
bidding the Speaker TO an official en-
tertainment the President intended to
manifest sympathy with his political
views. The President entertains each
wear the Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court. who is a Democrat. Is that cour-
teSy TO be tortured into an Endorsement
Of all the Chief Justices political and
judicial opinions: Mr.. Taft's critics
are too ingenious. They depend for sue
cess on insinuations which have only
the faintest coloring of truth.

sP4yIsH LrBERALIsn on TRIAL

Spanish LTBER4LISU on 1RIAL.
The outcome of the impending gen
cral elections in Spain will be regarded
by judicious observers with more of
hope than OF confident expectation for
the prosperous future of Spanish Lib
eralism. For the Liberal party is Just
now very much on trial, with an omi-
nous probability that it VIII 50 compr0-
mise Itself as 10 compass the defeat Of
those very policies which are of most
Importance TO the nation. The resigna-
ton after = hundred days OF Mr.. M0reI,
who is one Of the ablest and most up
right statesmen III the kingdom, was
regrettable. and now the opposition to
lis successor. Mr.. Canaieias. who is also
an excellent man, OF somewhat more
radical type. increases the feeling of
regret and of apprehension.
Mr. Moret. who last October sue
ceeded Nj Maura. the most reaction

was compelled 10 resign his place q few
weeks ago because of discussions within
The Liberal party. and especially be

party leaders outside OF the Cabinet,

Republicans TO exercise too much intlu-

THE EXPOSITION MATTER.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The editorial remarks in to-day's
Tribune on my article, That Berlin EX-
position" are in general deserving OF great
recognition on my part. because more
outspoken reputation of silly and reckless
talk of non-governmenta newspapers about
foreign political matters likely to spoil ex-
listing brotherly feeling between both sides
of the Atlantic could hardly be thought Of
In one point, however, you seem to have
misunderstood me. l did not say that the
German government. withdrawing from the
exposition question. was actually infected
with the spirit Of retaliation on account OF
the arrogant language of American news
papers. Kindly allow me to quote what
said:
What wonder if the Prussian govern
ment was highly dispieased by such indi-
rect instigation of riot and civil war in
Germany? Are German statesmen to be
censured II they resort to retaliation of
some kind"
You will certainly admit that this sounds
very different, and I really do not expect
that German statesmen will descend so low
as to give public utterance 10 their event
uaI annoyance. Why? There is no cali for
it any more. The exposition is Off

alive journals in question are not current

TIE TALK OF THE DAY,

An exhibition Of patriotism took place
4 few evenings ago in the vestibule of q
theatre in the white light district which
evoked both applause and sneers on the
part of the men who witnessed it. In one
scene of the play which IS being per-
formed at that theatre an actress shows
how children Of various natiOnalites sing
patriotic songs in q New York public
school. When the actress had finished her
imitation Of the rendition of The Star
Spangled Banner by q little Irish boy II
woman in the audience took UP her wrap
and stalked up the aisle TO the Vestibule,
followed by her escort, who seemed to be
at d loss as to why the woman was leav-

4 BETTER DEFINITION NEEDED

Even among native born citizens OF
the United States there is now and then
10 be found d rather hay IDEA as 10
the real meaning of freedom, an lnaDii-
ity to distinguish between liberty and
license It is not surprising. therefore,
that IN translation into foreign tongues
the word liberty" should acquire Il
breadth OF meaning that the most
radical founder of the Republic never
dreamed of giving to it. Not long ago
Greek flower pedler was arrested tor
peddling without a license, much to his
amaZement and disgust He didn't KNOW
much English. but what he did know
was devoted, during the trip from the
curb to the court, to an animated eX-
position of bis views on the subject Of
American freedom. 1t was almost in
conceivable. from his point Of view, that
q country Boosting OF its liberties should
permit an arrest for anything so ins1g-
nificant as the sale OF flowers without
license. Another Illustration may be
found in the assertion Of Il woman,
in the course Of divorce proceedings
brought against her husband for cruelty
and Abandonment" although in the evil
dence It appeared that the real cause OF
the difficulty lay in her refusal to do
the necessary houseW0rE, that in this
country wives get support from their
husbands without keeping any house"
1t is unfortunate that so many per-
sons come 10 this country with fantas-
tic notions as to what constitutes Amer
lean liberty and retain them so long.
especially in Il large city, where they
live much by themselves.

divided into number of more OF less
hostile groups, one lei by MI. Moret'
one by Mr.. Canalejas. one by Count
RomanoneS, and SO on, and that tnuS
continued government by any one Prime
Minister will be impossible and the
kingdom will have q succession OF

state of affairs would give rise to the
complaint that the Liberals were UNI
able TO govern the country and there
would be speedy and not unna tural re-
version 10 Conservatism. 1t will not be
enough. therefore, for the Liberals to
win the election. 1t will be essential
for them to stand together for united

show themselves competent to sink per

to the kingdom an enduring and efficient
government.
