The Socialists and Harmon.

While Gov. Harmon expresses great
qualification over what he is pleased to
call the Democratic victories in Ohio,
an analysis of the political situation
there indicates that he is not altogether
the beneficiary of the election results.
Much has been accomplished by the So
cialists, and in cooperation with them
were the progressives in both parties.
This element has no sympathy with
Gov. Harmon, whose conservative tend
encies are we'll known.
Nothing could better illustrate the
trend of modern politics than the out
come in Ohio. No less than ten mayors
were elected on the Socialist ticket, and
in Columbus, formerly a Republican
stronghold, the Republican candidates re-
ceived fewer votes than either the DEM
ocratic or the Socialist nominees. 1t is
an interesting fact, also, that socialism
in Ohio seems to represent the populism
of twenty years ago. The Populists were
the first exponents of the initiative and
referendum and the. recall ideas, which
now bear the socialistic label History
seems to be repeating itself. Populism
was a protest against the established
order of things and in the height of the
movement had considerable vogue. In
1892 the Populists polled over 100000
votes in the Presidential election, and
in 1896 they formed very considerable
proportion of the 100000 votes which
were cast for William J. Bryan. In
1900 the followers of Populism had
disintegtated as party organization and
had dwindled to a mere handful. In
1904 the Socialists polled 100000 votes,
increasing this showing to 10000 in
1908. 1t is quite evident, therefore, that
the Socialists of to-day are largely Pop
ulists under another name
The Socialist doctrines are, however,
much more radical than Populism ever
proposed. In their national platform
the Socialists proposed government re-
lief for the unemployed, government
contributions to labor organizations, the
collective ownership of all public utili-
ties, a graduated income tax, the aboli-
ton of the power of the United States
Supreme Court to pass upon Congress

While at Sofia Nine. Bakhmetiefr be-
came by virtue OF her position the presi-
dent Of the ,so-called Russian Committee
of Charity, formed for the purpose OF re-
lieving the frightful sufferings Of those
Christian inhabitants Of Macedonia who
had sought refuge from Turkish cruelty
and persecution on Bulgarian soil. An
immense amount of money had been SUBJ
scribed for the purpose in Russian, and
Mime. Bakhmetieff was determined that
since she was at the head OF the commit
tee intrusted with the distribution of the
relief she would see herself that none Of
the funds or supplies should go astray
but that they should serve the purposes
for which they were intended. With this
object in view, she set out from her COM
Portable home in Sofia, and spent, not
merely weeks, but even months, during
the midwinter In travelling through the
wild and bandit-infested districts along
the Bulgar-Turkish frontier with a num-
ber OF Russian Sisters of Charity and of
fcials of the Russian Red Cross Society,
bringing comfort and succor TO the thou
sands Of victims of the almost incredible
cruelty and savagery of the Sultans
Bashi-Bazouks in Macedonia. So great
was the popular enthusiasm aroused, not
only in Bulgaria, but also throughout the
Balkans. by her devotion to the cause Of
charity, that people declared that 1t was
only an American woman who would
have the grit and energy to face the
fatigue, the hardships, and the dangers
of such a tour as this.
Nine. Bakhmetieff has become a con-
vert to the church of her husband
namely. the so-called orthodox rite-and
It is largely owing to this that she has
managed to win so completely the con-
hdence of her husbands superiors and
fellow officials
The Washington herald., 1911-11-10

against the measure, Mr.. Balfour erred
in his failure to take decided stand
upon this and other questions. He
was unable to make up his mind, a
fact which stamped him as unfit for the
leadership of great party. He Gni-
tested this weakness in relation TO the
South African situation, and often as
to certain phases of foreign policy.
Still, as the leader of a hopelessly
disrupted party, which neither he nor
any other man could have led to tri-
umph, he faced a hard task. 1t is
probably better for England that Bal
four should yield the place and allow
his party to find a man who can fill
it better, if there be such a person in
Great Britain to-day. When all is said,
he has been pure, high-minded, and
intellectually a very able man, with a
distinction such as no other Englishman
of his day possessed.

Emperor Is expected to virtually run both
the prince and the principality Of Bull

and interests without, however, arousing

Governments Confidence I'm Her.
AS every one knows, marriages OF Rus
sian diplomats with foreign women are
not looked upon with favor at st. Peters
burg, and in the rather rare instances OF
matrimonial alliances of this nature be-
ing tolerated, the diplomat in question Is
generally assigned to some post where
neither the influence nor the indiscretion
of his wife could do much harm. That
George Bakhmetieff should have been
chosen to represent the Gar in Bulgaria,
and should have been transferred from
thence to the even still more difficult
post OF Russian minister and later am
bassador in japan, speaks volumes for
the confidence Of his government in tho
tact and discretion OF his American wife.
The Washington herald., 1911-11-10
Balfour.

We do not believe that the i'll health
which, according to the cable news,
forces Mr.. Balfour to reiinquish the
leadership of the British Unionist party,
is of serious character. He has for a
long time been dissatisfied with his post,
and so have his colleagues in the coun-
cils of that party. We are inclined to
say that his -'oluntary retirement is not
altogether unwelcome to them.
The fact of the matter is that when
Mr. Balfour succeeded his uncle, Lord
Salisbury, as leader of the Tories, that
party was, ripe for defeat. He took
the responsible place with his eyes wide
open. He leaves it in a condition bor-
dering upon disorder and demoraliza-
ton. 1t must be confessed that the
House of Commons has had no more
slIillful debater than Mr.. BaIfour in
recent years, but what he lacked was
the driving power needed to hold his
factions together in the three defeats
which have accompanied his leadership.
The blame, however, is not all his. The
party had been split by the protectionist
scheme which Joseph Chamberlain
forced upon il, and, of course, it never
was easy to ascertain whether the ma
jority of the Unionists were with or
against him Certain it is that large
part Of them were unoompromisinsIy

The Corcoran Gallery of Art.

The recognition given to the Cor
coran Gallery of Art by the late Edwin
A. Abbey is not only deserved compli-
ment to the management of that insti-
tuition, but it will afford qualification to
every art-loving American citizen.
Bearing the name of an eminent
Washingtonian whose memory is still
held in highest esteem and whose
generosity made the institution posi-
bic, the gallery has been managed with
intelligence and discretion Its high
ideals have been steadily maintained,
the result being collection of pictures
and statuary of commanding influence,
even though it may not be as large as
many European cities enjoy. The man.
agement, too, has been one of great dig
nifty, with less regard for purely popu-
lar sentiment in works of art than for
an elevated standard which lasts for all
time
And yet, while the conduct of the gal
lery has been such as to command the
admiration of connoisseurs, the trustees
have realized that it was Mr.. Corco-
rams wish that the collection should be
an education and an enjoyment to the
public, and the opening of the gallery
on Sunday afternoons has afforded sin
cere pleasure to thousands of people. In
brief, the Corcoran Gallery of Art af-
fords a commendable combination of an
artistic spirit with the desire to give the
public the largest benefit of the master
pieces which this spirit creates. 1t
stands to-day one of the most valuable
as well as one of the most appreciated
factors in the higher development of the
National Capital.

The Get-together Dinner.

We congratulate the Washington
merchants who conceived and carried to
a successful conclusion the get-together
dinner 1t was an occasion marked by
a true fraternity and will go far toward
developing a proper spirit among the
men whose mercantile genius plays an
important part in the development of
Washington.
The business men of this city are
worthy of all commentator, and the
words of praise bestowed upon them at
the dinner were hearty and sincere
They did wisely in gathering together
under such pleasant auspices, and they
will gain much if such opportunities are
frequently afforded.

sional legislation, and in place of Official
charity they advocate compulsory insur-
ance against unemployment, invalidism,
and old age It is-not to be supposed that
all of those who voted with the Social
lists in Ohio subscribed to these doc
trines. Their ballots, like those cast by
the PopuHsts, were a protest against
present conditions. 1t is, of course, i'm
possible to predict the candidate for
whom these votes will be cast next year,
but they certainly will not be given to
a man who is not an avowed disciple
of the so-called progressive ideas
From this point of view, the Dem
ocratic victories in Ohio are not a per-
sonal triumph for Gov. Harmon.
