Iorimer's Speech.

The speech delivered in the Senate yes
terday afternoon by Senator Lorimer in
defense of his right to sit in that chamber
must be rated as q highly important con-
tribution to the literature of American
politics. however it may be regarded as
10 its value in defense against the charge
OF bribery and corruption. 1t is possible
TO view 1t in this light, without reference
TO the immediate circumstances, as IL
Illuminating the subject OF practical poll
tics, as illustrating the ways and means
of the political leader, utilizing all men
10 his own ends regardless of political
predictions and alliances, depending upon
personal friendships and individual asso-
Citations. In short. Senator Lorimer S
speech is an intensely interesting human
document. Its very failure to discuss the
immediate questions involved in this case,
as set forth in the record of testimony,
adds TO its general value as political lit
erature. Presenting in dramatic form the
life story OF a boss who. operating under
pies about accepting the votes of his OPP
ponents and who. in doing favors for men
in his bailiwtck. never asked their politics
and thereby rose to power and position,
this speech should be read by American
voters throughout the country. 1t cannot

citizenship. but II is undeniably entertain

The Humane Society's Fund.

BY what was undoubtedly an inadvert-
ence the provision in the District appro-
priation bill, now pending in conference,
relating to the provision of funds for the
pensioning of firemen and policemen was
so written as to threaten the extinction
Of the Humane Society of this city. For
years past the fines collected in certain
cases in the prosecution of which this
society has been instrumental have been
assigned to it for its maintenance, there
by recognizing the virtually public char
acter of this valuable and highly appre-
ciated work. There has undoubtedly been
no disposition, in the writing Of the pen
sion paragraph in the District bill, to in
terfere with the established mode of
maintaining the Humane Society. The
necessary amendment to correct this in
advertent error should be ordered by the
conference without hesitation, an amend
ment simple in character, yet sufficient to
clear away any possible doubt. There is
no public desire to handicap the work of
the Humane Society in any way 1t is
useful institution. deserving of the
most liberal support and warm official
encouragement and aid.

The New japanese Treaty.
the New York World

From the New York World.
The new treaty with japan now await
ing ratification by the Senate makes nc
change in the present condition of af-
fairs as respects Japanese immigration
Even those Pacific coast agitators who
periodically declaim about the danger OF
this country being flooded with coolie
labor will find in it no pretext for fresh
outbursts. The martial Hobson may
search it through without discovering
further cause for fearing the secret intro
duction into this country of millions OF
Oyamas veterans.
When the Japanese government agreed
with the Secretary of State three years
ago to put into effect it's passport sys-
tenn 1t had two purposes OF it's own. 1t

Asia, especially Manchuria. Since the

Teachers Retirement.

1t appears that the teachers retirement
bill, just reported to the Senate from the
District committee with q strong recon-
mendation in approval, still has its chance
of passage at this session Of Congress. 1t
is to be hoped that this chance will be I'M
proved and that those in favor of this
legislation will continue TO press 1T in
both the House and the Senate until the
closing hour. 1t is vitality important to
the welfare of the public schools of the
District. and through them the people of
the National Capital, that this measure
be placed upon the statute books. By its
means alone can the school ranks be
relieved of the presence Of teachers who
have passed their years Of usefulness
and who are humanely retained upon the
rolls. Only by such a device can en-
couragement be given to the capable
men and women laboring in this field,
against handicaps and in the face of de-
pressing conditions and strongly tempted
to leave Washington for other cities
where more consideration is paid to the
instructors Of youth. The differences be-
tween the bills pending before the House
and Senate are easily adjustab BILE. There
need be no difficulty about the working
out of a practicable retirement Law if the
House and the Senate are willing to
grant few minutes to this subject. 1t
is now possible In the House to take up
any measure by a two-thrds vote. It is
understood that there is strong senti-
ment in the lower branch of Congress for
this proposition, and if the Senate will act
promptly on the strength of the District
committees report it should not be diff
cult for those who properly appraise the

terms OF general political speculation. No

the belief that union some day would

Annexation as an issue would over
shadow not only the tariff, but all other
issues. 1t would mean much in the af-
fairs of the world. Where would the
proposition to plant and keep flying the

cussed with eagerness? Where would not

and take on an ampler meaning here at
home. We should survey ourselves in
our more generous proportions with in
creased interest.
Annexation OF Canada as national
issue is not in sight. Important as that
would be. we have other matters on hand
calling for immediate attention. In some
fashion we must handle the tariff. the
currency. the trusts. the railroads. SO as
to meet the public demands: and the
task will occupy us for a long time Be-
fore we enlarge our present boundaries
we should see that everything within
them Is shipshape, and working for the
general good. In fact, the Canadians
would be justified before signing with us
in asking for a bill of particulars as to
the condition of our affairs. Annexation
not only can, but will wait.

Presidential Favorites.

Straw votes about candidates for DO.
litical nominations or political office,
whether taken by post card, or by
hurried pollings on street cars, or rail-
road trains, or in crowded hotel Hobbies,
are usually accepted with reserve. The
replies to such interrogatories are not
always what they should be. Jokers i'm
prove the opportunity to quiz the public,
while some men Of serious nature, refus-
ing to rerly at all. but with minds made
up. are recorded by the interviewers as
undecided. In 1904 a straw vote gave
New York to Judge Parker by an enor-
nous majority. The jokers were out in
force, and had great fun with the can
vassers.
But a note was sounded at Lansing.
Mich, yesterday which is worth atten-
ton The members Of the legislature
were polled as to their presidential pref
erences, and all replied. No reservations
were made by the republicans. Mr.. Taft
swept the deck on his side. But several
of the democrats qualified their answers.
They expressed a preference for Gov.
Harmon according to their present lights.
nu, admitted that Gov. Wilson looked
promising"
Now this is prudent and sensible. Nomi-
nation day is some sixteen months away.
Much may happen in that time to change
the whole aspect OF the present demo-
cratic situation. Booms now booming
may have ceased to boom by then.
Booms now considered promising ma
have failed to develop. Booms now I'M
known may be occupying attention. Some
freak of fortune may turn down all the
present favorites and introduce new ones
before the next democratic national con-
veation sits.
1t may be that these reservations ex-
tend beyond Michigan. The Harmon
clubs. the Wilson clubs, the Clark clubs,
and other clubs now forming, here, there,
and all around, may be upon a tentative
basis. Members may be Influenced by the
present aspect Of things. Harmon, or
Wilson, or Clark, or somebody else looks
good today. but X he does not hold his
own as the canvass proceeds he will be
abandoned for another when the time
comes. In pinch, politics is very psac-
teal. Men sometimes swap favor.res.
and even sides, upon a swift reaojust-
ment Of values.
The present day democratic favorites
are to undergo severe tests. Successful
as he has been hitherto. Gov. harmon
has hard trials and great tribuiations'
ahead. Gov. Wilson having tackled the
machine which elected him is now on the
machines black list. and the issue Is
uncertain. Mr.. Clark has yet to handle
the House gavel; and how he will seize
it and what do with it time alone can
tell. AS to new favorites, they may
spring UP anywhere and out of many
things. The opportunity is unusual Tor
aspiring men OF ability and audacity.
