Chasing After the Presidency"

That New Jersey republican who ex-
pressed the opinion that ''if Gov Wilson
had stayed at his desk, instead Of chas-
ing after the presidency. New Jersey
would have elected democratic legisla-
ture on the 7th instant" was talking for
buncombe.
Gov. Wilson did not neglect the public
business or his party's interest in the re-
cent campaign. He made a trip out Of the
state by invitation, but it was short. He
was soon back. with his eye on the gun
again. Nothing was pressing at home.
The legislature was not in session. All
routine matters at the statehouse were
in competent hands. There was time for
a trip before the supreme struggle for
the new legislature began.
Upon his return Gov. Wilson took his
bearings and then took the stump. He
went wherever there was hope Of bene-
fitting his party. In some counties his
presence quickened the democratic pulse.
and the local campaign showed the ef-
feet.
But he could not rally the followers Of
those machine politicians whom he had
offended. The Smith men, the Nugent
men and others Of like kidney either
sulked. or went to the polls and pumped
for the republicans. They were angry
with the governor and all his works, and
resolved to do what they could to injure
his presidential prospects. Their idea
was that a republican legislature would
be accepted throughout the country as a
-e5uSe or the governor at home, ana a

the democratic national ticket he could
not carry his own state.
Well. they had their way. With their
aid the republicans carried the leg1sla-
ture, and the result was at once heralded
as a setback for the Wilson presidential
boom. Machine democrats everywhere
were assured that what had happened on
this occasion would happen again If the
opportunity offered, and advised not to
put their trust in a. man who stood re-
pudiated by their brothers living close to
him and familiar with his curves.
There are many machine democrats
scattered up and uown the land. and they
are numerous in states where the ma
tional battle is to be fought. New WORK.
Indiana, Illinois and Ohio are full of
them; and 1t is part OF the anti Wilson
program to tnoc1ilate all such with the
virus of distrust Of the man who downed
James Smith, jr.,' and declared against
boss rule.
Chasing after the presidency In the
way Of .stnmping tours must soon end.
The closed season approaches. Gov. Will
SON will be kept at home by the legisla-
ture shortly to assemble. Speaker Clark
and Mr.. Underwood will be prisoners in

will continue free to go where he pleases.
and please as many people as. for one
reason or another, may gather to hear
him discuss the issues Of the day.

Sir Edward Greys exposition Of the
British attitude in the Moroccan affair
brings to light nothing that was not prac-

excellent purpose in clearing away certain
doubts that have had sinister influence

time past This speech in the house of
commons breaks silence that has been

Assessor Richards report to the Com
missioners in the main covers the ground
that was anticipated except that he goes
to the extent of recommending specinc
mode of assessment review. He proposes
that the assistant assessors detailed on
real estate sit for two months after FIN
ishing their annual revision to hear COM
plants from property owners. This would
give the opportunity to correct obvious
inaccuracies and injustices. There would
then be an appeal to a board consisting of
the assessor, two Of his office assistants
and two citizens of the District chosen
with reference to their familiarity with
realty values. 1t might be that such
a system would work as satisfactorily
as any other. 1t is impossible to carry
assessment questions to a court Of law,
and some administrative method must
be devised to give final hearing to all
such issues. The present system is plain
ly not conducive to good results. The
final appeal is made virtually to the board
of the original decision, the three realty
assessors constituting one-half of the
board of equalization and review, by
which arrangement deadlocks, leading to
failure to respond to the appellants
CLAIM, may easily occur. Inc COmnlS-
sioners will probably give weight to the
assessors recommendation In this respect.
regardful of his experience and the as
sured sincerity Of his purpose to find the
most equitable method Of assessment re-
vision and review possible.
The recommendation for an annual as
sessment in place of the triennial revision
now In practice is apparently approved
by the Commissioners in advance, and
there is reason to believe that it meets
with the approval also of the local tax
payers. The assessors argument on this
subject is simple yet unanswerable. If a
tax is levied annually it should be col
lected annually and on the equitable
basis of assessment, which must be as
certained every twelve months in order
to yield a proportionate return. From
the point Of view Of the District govern
ment there can be no doubt Of the wis.,
dom of the annual assessment The tax
payers cannot fairly complain of the
proposed change save on the ground that
they feel that under the triennial system,
with steadily rising property value, they
are saving taxes. 1t is not to be expected
that this plea. will be put forth seriously
in opposition to the proposed amendment

peace. Evidence Of the intensity Of the
situation is furnished by the fact that in
Berlin the newspapers issued extras con-
tanning the opening passages Of Sir Ed
ward Grey's speech and distributed them
free to immense multitudes Of people
eagerly awaiting the first sign of the
English attitude Had there been hos
tile note in the foreign secretary's re-
marks 1t is probable that a demonstra-
ton against England would have occurred
In the German capital. perhaps precipi-
tating an unsolvable diplomatic problem
Such plain statement, couched so dis
creetly, cannot fail to have good effect
in the future. There is at this time no
reason whatsoever for Anglo-German
hostility. Whatever occasion there may
have been for antagonism seems to have
been removed with the Moroccan ADJUST
ment It does not follow, however. that
the relations between the two countries
will continue wholly amicable. There
are always possibilities of trouble in the
case Of two countries that view each
other with jealousy. The governments
themselves may be on good terms, but
the people are prone to suspicion and are
quick to take umbrage when there Is no
substantial occasion for a serious official
issue. Complete harmony between Eng
land and Germany is one Of the least
conceivable Of modern developments. In
Germany there is a tremendous ambition
for colonial expansion and keen jealousy
for the commercial supremacy. In Eng
land there is jealousy for the colonial
supremacy and a desire for a restoration
of commercial prestige. The rivalry be-
tween the two has a wholesome influence
up to a certain point, at which 1t becomes
danger not only to the peace OF the
two powers themselves, but to the world
at large. If England and Germany ever
come to blows their conflict will almost
assuredly involve other powers.

Business.

The Star repeats the views it expressed
the other day concerning the investlga-
ton of the trust question now in progress
at the hands of the Senate committee on
interstate commerce broad course has
been laid, and matters of great value
should be gathered. Let us have all ma
terial information from trained and au-
thoritatiye sources. and then Congress,
which is charged with providing a rem
edy will be the better qualified to per-
form it's task.
Captains of industry are on the COM
mittees list of witnesses. All such Of
the first Importance should be sum-
moned. Judge Gary and George w. Per-
kins and Seth Low should be followed
by Mr.. Morgan, Mr.. Carnegie. Mr.. Rookie
Teller, and others of kindred consequence.
Doubtless all would respond with pleas
ure to an invitation.
Why not? What better way for big
business to make itself understood by
our national legislators? What better
way for our national legislators to quail
ify for their work?
To illustrate. Congress a year or so
ago decided that a better revision of the
tariff could be effected if the revisers
were assisted by Information collected
and suggestions made by a board COM
posed of tariff experts. Accordingly
such a board was created, and 1t Is on
the eve of making it's first report. OF
course, the report will not be binding on
Congress, which may take it or leave it,
at pleasure. But it will add to the sum OF
the information required, and therefore
perform good service.
So in the case of the trusts and the
captains of industry. They are experts
in the business world. They know the
ms and outs, the why's and whereforesi
in. word, the ropes. Some of them
have turned the trust trick themselves.
Now, what better for all in interest
than for these men to appear and dis
euss old and new business methods with
q committee of Congress whose aim is
to, recommend legislation in the prem
Uses? Their deliverances will not, of
course. be in any sense binding. The
committee may take or leave them, at
its pleasure. But undoubtedly the in
formation thus acquired will broaden the
committees range, and incidentally that
Of Congress.
Business is sick, and needs physic. The
case is not desperate, but a consulta ton

Going After the Oyster Slavers.

Probably If all the truth were known
regarding the methods employed by oys-
ter boat shippers to obtain and keep
hands on board their craft the country
would shudder in horror. Enough is
known. however, to fully justify the eff
forts that have just been made by the
government to put a stop to the shameful
practice of shanghaiing and forcibly de-
tanning boatmen in the waters Of the
Chesapeake bay and its affiuents. With a
fast motor boat at their disposal prob
ably the officers of the Department of
Commerce and Labor can put the fear of
the law into the hearts of a. good many
brutal oystermen. who are now. practical
ly without restraint, carrying on the
abominable practices that from time to
time are brought to light through the
escape OF victims or the mutiny of crews.
1t is known to certainty that men are
drugged and piled with liquor until they
are helpless and are carried on board
the boats and taken off into the bay,
where they are forced to work, at the
most pitifully small wages, ii any, re-
CARELESS of their wish. Virtually state
of slavery prevails among the oyster
boats. involving all manner of crimes
and untold suffering. Men have been
taken away from their dependent fami-
lies. who have been left to starve in the
absence Of the providers. Young men OF
good families have been kidnapped and
carried off for weeks and months to a
drudgsry that only the strongest can pos
,sibIy endure. More power to the men
whom Secretary Nagel selects for the
work of policing the Chesapeake and its
tributaries! May they overhaul the oys-
ter Slavers at such rate that shanghai
ing will definitely go out of fashion In
this part of the world!

Municipal Newspapers.
From the Springfield Republican

|
The New Yorker who wrote to Mayor
Gaynor suggesting that the city publish
a municipal newspaper received no en-
couragement from a democrat who is still
old fashioned enough to beneve that 'the
least left to government or officials the
better" A municipal newspaper scheme,
however, is to be voted upon next month
at the Los Angeles city election. BY
means OF an initiative petition, an ordi-
nance making provision for the publica-
ton in every detail OF a weekly Journal.
at the expense OF the municipality and
to be distributed to the citizens without
charge to them, Is to be accepted or re-
jected at the polls. Los angeles Is very
progressive. but whether it Is progressive
enough to want q free newspaper, pub
lished by the city and edited by munich
pal commission, we would not dare to
say. The outline Of the proposed ordi-
nance. which seems worth while to print.
Is of journalistic interest because OF its
pioneer character. Certain American
cities, like New York and Boston. have
In the past printed periodical publica-
lions flied with statistical information
concerning the municipal government or
public advertisements of municipal con-
tracts or the municipal ordinances. but
the Los Angeles scheme may fairly be
regarded as an innovation.

As one cabinet officer after another
urges the establishment of a retirement
system and the upward revision Of the
departmental pay scale, 1t begins to look
as though Uncle Sam was starting to
take a truly bqsinesslike view of his own
affairs. The realization that good work
calls for good pay and permanency OF
tenure with assurance OF provision in
old age will ultimately reach Congress.
For the sake Of both the clerks and the
government it is to be hoped that this will
come soon.

A Consistent Performer.


Old man Envyall, he saw his neighbors
farm;
It's garden and its live stock seemed to
have q special charm:
So he figured out some mortgages and
worked note or two.
And he simply took possession Of the lot
ere he was through.
Old man Envyall. he heard his neigf,bor's
name
In kindly favor mentioned, and he grudged
the scanty fame:
So he fixed up combinations and he scat
tered rumors round
Till the village viewed the fellow with
suspicion most profound.
But his neighbor kept on working As he
dug and chopped away.
He gathered up material for three square
meals per day.
He had wondrous appetite, as at the
board he sat;
And old man Envyall, he envied even
that.
