An American Volcano.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
The eruption of CoIima, in Mexico.
calls attention to the fact that this is
the only real live volcano of any
considerable dimensions in North Ameri-
ca. Colima has been frequently active
ever since 1869, and in this revolu-
tionary year IL breaks out in particular
" forcible disturbance. In Il paper read
before the International Geological Con-
gress at the City of Mexico in 1906, the
lamented Angelo Heilprin of Philadelphia
pointed out again the broad interrela-
tionship that exists between volcanic
activity and seismic phenomena, and in
this present instance Colima'S upheaval
was accompanied by violent shocks, not
only at nearby places, such as Sea-
potlan and Guadalajara. but at points as
far distant as the capital. Ii is interest
ing to note that at the time of the
Martinique disaster, which Heilprin
studied so couraseously. Colima was in
eruption. At the time of the San Fran
cisco earthquake there was violent ac-
tivity among the Aleutian Islands of
Alaska.

Politics and Journalism.

At one of the hearings before the SEN
ate finance committee when the reciproc-
ity pact with Canada was under discus
sion. Mr. Bailey said loosely: When
get through with this business I am go
ing to be an editor. l will not be like my
brother Smoot. who owns newspaper
but does not write for 1t. / will write for
mine"
Mr.. Bailey Is not likely to "get through
with this business" He is just where he
ought to be, and il his party is wise he
will remain. 1t and the country would
lose by his retirement. The Senate is
pre-eminently his field. Because of his
locality and some extreme views he en-
tertains he is not a presidential quantity
Although learned in the law, he would
not, because of his temperament, suit for
service on the bench. And neither a cab
met place nor an ambassadors place
right place. and himself. and should not
change.
But If change. for amy reason, should
be required, let him not mount the tri-
pod. Uneasy and out of place would he
he there. Nothing he might write would
be dull. But it would lack the tang of
journalism. The politician would show all
over the printed page. His subscribers
would murmur. The circulation would
shrink. He would soon have TO get
through with that business.
Mr.. ingalls,, another brilliant man, who
both spoke and wrote WELL retired upon
journalism when adversely put an end to
his services in the Senate. But he found
himself pathetically out of his element.
His contributions to the daily press We're
very rcada bic, but not journalistic-mag-
nificcnt but not war. He soon tired of

his new job. He had misconceived
both it and his own powers. An
occa sional piece for the paper" such as
he had prepared with ease and pleasure
while a senator, was a very different
proposition to several pieces every day
as regular grind. His quality soon fell
off. and with that his limited usefulness
ceased.
To lie sure there Is the Commoner.
which is financial success. But the
Commoner is not. strictly speaking. a
newspaper, and Mr.. Bryan is not, strictly
speaking. an editor. lie contributes to it
on the fy-is the flying contributor. And
the Commoner does not explain Mr..
Bryan's continued hold on public atten-
ton. Had he retired solely upon his pen
after the smashing defeat of 1896 he
would soon have dropped out of all po-
litical calculations. But he kept his
tongue going and his smile In action; and
his touch in that way upon his followers
has never been relaxed. 1t is Orator
Bryan and not Editor Bryan who has
kept the pool well stirred these fifteen
years, and is still himself very much
alive.
Brother Smoot'' is right. 1t states
man will own newspaper let him not
write for it. but put 1t into the hands Of
a man who knows the trade. Stick to
Your pantomimes, said the great Junius
to David Garrick, after the great actor
had butted in on a political matter about
which he knew little. II politicians
would keep out of journalism and journal
lists out of politics, both callings would
benefit.

"All-Around Foolishness. "

The New York Times hopes TO see the
movement for the election of United
States senators by direct vote of the
people fail. 1t is described as ALI
around foolishness and superiuty," from
which the bosses and the interests

had the people been permitted to choose
last year. both Mr.. Sheehan of New
York and James Smith. jr., of New Jer-
sey would have become senators.
Well, il MIR. Sheehan had been chose n
would New York have suffered? He is a
very able politician, and politics is the

have found congenial employment in
that body. Judge O'Gorman, on the
other hand. is lawyer whose taste run.
strongly to his profession. He was on
the bench, and wanted To remain there.
The Senate had never been in his calcu-
lations, nor in those of the people for
him. His change of place was dictated
by very few men.
Objection TO Mr.. Sheehan was based
on his influence with Tammany and
Iammany's partialty for him. And yet

Mr.. Berger's Congressional Debut.

When IL was announced that Victor
Berger. the socialist, was seeking con-
gressional honors, The Star expressed the
hone that he might succeed. 1t was not
advocating socialism, but merely pointing
out that the presence in the House of a
socialist leader, we'll accredited and well
equipped would bring the socialistlc
problem more clearly into public discus
sion and secure for 1t attention which
other agencies had failed to secure
Mr. Berger made his debut in debate
yesterday, and had the attention which
his talents and his theme deserved. lie
probably made no converts to his cause.
He attempted no exhaustive explanation
of the full socialistic aim and program
But he said number of things well
worth the consideration of men now In
office charged with legislative duties.
We are striking out in new paths. Old
forms are passing. New forms are neces-
sary Suggestions which a few years
ago were dcrided have since been adopt
ed and are now respected. Populism,
though with the loss of name in the per-
Torrance, has all but swallowed de-
mocracy. 1t has even modified repub-
licanism. The men who about a score OF
years ago drew the famous Ocala plat
form, and were laughed at by both re-
publicans and democrats, have the laugh
now on the laughers. The radicalism of
that day does not appear so radical at
this day.
As to whether the country has profited.
and stands still further to profit, by this
change is another matter. What we
have 10 consider is that changes are tax
Ing place, and many ideas are abroad.
AS We have been turning some sharp
corners of late. what about the corners
advertised as just ahead? Shall, or shall
not. we turn them? Are they as sharp
as popularity described. or less so?
Political lights are high lights-often
toe high. Tariff reform has long been
described as free trade. There are free
traders advocating tariff reform. but
tariff reform as is now being demon
strated, does not mean free trade at
bound. Observe how leisurely Mr.. Tn
derwood and his friends are approaching
the Payne law, described in last years
campaign as the sum of all tariff iniqu-
ties. At their present pace they could
not. even with an uninterrupted hand,
dispose of that measure in twenty years.
The custom houses are in no immediate
danger. There is a good deal of hula
baloo, but principally for campaign pur-
poses.
So as TO socialism. AS between the
popular idea of that policy and Mr.. Ber-
gers explanation there is a wide differ
ence. Evidently. if given a free hand,
Mr. Berger would not redistribute prop
erty and establish common table for
the American people.
The Star is not with Mr.. Berger as a
socialist. II was not with the men who
drew the Ocala platform. 1t regrets the
progress certain features of that plat
form have since made. But it recognizes
me unrest that exists. and notes the many
new governmental changes proposed, and
thinks it advisable that all should be
presented in the best form by those best
prepared for the service. The salvation
Of our institutions IS in free and open
discussion.

bi~h o6,cer of the organisation,

q high officer Of the organization. A
popular Endorsement of Mr.. Sheehan
would have been an Improvement on the
juggle before the legislature which in the
end made Charles F. Murphy the master.
Judge O'Gorman is an excellent man,
but the state was not served, and GER
tainly his personal wishes were not
when he was transferred from a familiar
to an unfamiliar field.
In the case of Mr. Smith the Times
seems unacquainted with the record. He
could not have been elected to the Senate
by popular vote. He conceded that fact
when he declined to enter the primary
for his party's nomination. He remain
ed out. and as soon as Mr.. Marines
victory in the primary was announced,
began scheming to have 1t overthrown in
contest before the legislature. He
was fooled in that maneuver only through
the courage and resourcefulness of Gov.
Wilson, who insisted that the primarys
decision must be upheld, and who be-
lieves in the election OF senators by
direct vote. Moreover, had Mr.. Smith
entered the primary for the Senate, Mr..
Wilson would not have made the race
for governor. The whole reform pro-
gram would have failed. Mr.. Smith was
obliged to keep his senatorial aspira-
tons masked in order to promote the
Wilson candidacy and all for which it
stood.
A direct vote will not fill the Senate
with giants, nor wholly Danish money
from senatorial campaigns But as good
men will find their way there as have
ever reached the chamber by the in
direct method. And the situation at
every state capital when the legislature
meets will show the advantages of the
change. With the senatorship removed
from the equation, lawmaking can. and
will, go on undisturbed by senatorial am
billions and managing politicians promot
ing them.
Popular election of senators is not
fad. and owes nothing of its extraordi-
nary growth TO faddsts. Its strength
is in both parties, and the most practi
cal of the politicians have declared for
it. Soon or late, too, it is bound to pre-
vail.
