THE STATUTORY PARTY CONVENTIONS.

1a HE Geran law and not the voters of the State created the two
so-caled conventions that are to meet at Trenton tomor-
row without any welldefned object and certainly without
any party credentials There is no practical use for a State con
vention for a party in an off year when no State or National elec-
ton is to be held. Legislative candidates are to be voted on next
month, but Senators and Asssmblymen are chosen in local city
elections and in the Legislature they will represent the majority
sentiment of their counties. There are many questions of State
policy upon which there are now, and always will be, sectional diff.
ferences and nothing that a State convention might say or do could
harmonic them. State political conventions have always been
elective. The voters of the State never had any conception of any
convention not elective until this statutory one was arbitrarily
provided for them. AS there is nothing else for the conventions to
legitimately do, platforms will be adopted. But there is all the
opportunity in an unrepresentative convention to do the illegiti-
mate. 1t may be manipulated to promote personal ambitions.
Probably the conventions this year will be harmless in that re-
spect. We must look to the conventions of 1919 for that species of
politics.

AN AMERICAN COUP IN II FAR EAST?

TT I looks as if American enterprise had made another stroke in
the Far East. japanese jealousy is indicated in the display
which an officially inspired Toxic paper gives to a dispatch
from Pekin to the effect that the United States has secured by
"secret treaty. $4,000 acres near Hardin, Manchuria, to be inn
proved by an American harvester company, China to employ a part
of the recent quadruple loan in providing military guards and i'm
porting expert labor. The concern referred to is evidently the In
ternational Harvester Company and George ". Perkins, its presi-
dent, admits that his company has been negotiating for land in
Hardin, although the secret treaty" part of the story is probably
an extra touch of imaginative Oriental journalism

COURT OR CONGRESS- SHOULD ACT.

cTa HE suggestion is made by the Sunday Call, if the combi
Nnation which has so proftab1y worked bankruptcy cases
does not submit all the matters involved in the recently
exploited scandals to intelligent and independent examination for
a plain statement to the public, that the judges of the Federal Court
should act and the subject be taken up by members of Congress,
inasmuch as it has far more than local bearings. The Federal
courts cannot be Indifferent to an outrageous misuse of the ma
tional bankruptcy law, and our representatives in Congress should
feel the obligation to do what they can for the protection of bank
rupt estates from systematic and wholesale looting.

we were coming through Maine and
New Hampshire the coaches we're pro-
vided with ice water and drinking cups
When the train reached the Massachu-
sets line the colored porter came
around and gathered up all the drink
ing cups and put them out of sight.
AS we passed through Massachusetts
we were without drinking water. When
we cleared the Massachusetts line and
got into Rhode Island the porter
stealthily got out his cups again and
we were able to drink through Rhode
Island and Connecticut. Now, when
the train gets to the New York line
the porter will have to hide his cups
again. 1t all depends upon the law"
