England's Starvation Menace.

The most sinister feature OF the English
strike situation Is the danger of starva-

the people. In normal cond tions shock

The Statehood Bill.

1t was we'll understood before the state
hood bill received Its final touches in
Congress and was sent to the President
that he would veto ii on the score OF
the recall of judges provision In the Ari-
IONA constitution. Nevertheless it was
put through both houses and submitted
10 him with much loud talking about
passing 1t over his veto If he should dis
approve 1t. He sent 1t back promptly
with a message so plain in its terms that
no attempt was made to put to test In
the House and Senate the issue between
the attempted legislation and the Presi-
dents strong argument against reduc-
ing the judiciary to a state of subsection
to partisan politics and the whims Of
disgruntied minority. Now, after all the
trouble HAS been taken to prove true the
prediction of a presidential veto, efforts
are being made to pass the statehood bill
In terms to meet the objections Of the
White House. 1t Is proposed to admit
Arizona on the specific condition that the
recall OF judges paragraph be eliminated
from It's constitution. Why could not
this have been done at first? Did the
House and Senate think the President

There have been signs OF late that
things democratic were shaping up
again to Mr.. Hearsts liking. He sup
ported Gov. Harmon last year for re-
election He expressed great pleasure
month later when Champ Clark was
chosen Speaker of the House. He was
a powerful instrument last spring In
the election of Carter Harrison as
Mayor Of Chicago. Out of those three
things has grown the present report
So far as known Mr.. Hearst mas ex-
pressed no preference as among the
aspirants for the democratic nomina-
tion for President His interest In
Gov. Harmon's success was local, as
was his interest In Carter Harrisons s
success. And his pleasure in seeing
Mr.. Clark in the Speakers chair re-
lated TO national policies. which MI
Clark in that Office would be able to
assist.
With Mr.. Bryan Mr.. Hearst has had
his differences and his reconciliations
Just what their present relations are
is not known. AS Mr.. Bryan Is not
candidate for another presidential
nomination, the question is Of interest
as bearing upon the prospect Of their
cooperation in behalf of somebody
actively in the field. Pulling together
they would make q strong team.
If Mr.. Hearst offers for the pest Of dele
gate to the national convention he will do
SO, Of course, as citizen of New York. and
that brings up the question OF Charles
f. Murphy's say SO. Will the leader OF
Tammany Hall consent. Can he be In
duced to overlook all that Mr.. Hearst
has said and done against him and
his organization? 1t has been a-plenty.
No other New York editor has deliv-
cred himself quite SO pointedly and
forcibly on the subject of the abb
horrent Influences exerted by Tam
many on public affairs.
But Tammany has forgiven much to
others. 1t nominated Edward NJ.
Shepard for mayor after he had de-
nounced 1t with all the searching
severity Of lawyers vocabulary. 1t
has forgiven much to Mr.. Hearst 1t
nominated and supported him for gov
ernor after he had raked it fore and
aft in his most vigorous fashion. So
1t will not be Impossible should Mr..
Hearst desire to be member of the
New York delegation to the demo-
cratic national convention for Mr..
Murphy to give his consent.

The Farce Approaches the End.

In vetoing the so-called farmers free
list bill the President repeated the crit
cism that had been made while the
measure was under discuss on IN the
House. He pointed out most forcibiy and
convincingly the haste shown in the
preparation of the bill. and the attend
ing obscurites. The execution of the
measure would have been almost impos-
sible, and undesirable if possible
In presenting SO crude a measure-one
40 easily exposed and condemned-Mr.
Underwood offended against his own die
tum. He played TO the galleries. He
kissed his hand to the farmers, and in
vited all of them TO observe that Goblin,
not short was the friend Their only hope
of relief, he assured them. was in the
course he and his friends were pursuing.
Fail in. every Speeder OF the plow, and
plump for democratic success in 1912.
Such an appeal from the stump In back
districts might have gone far. The
farmers, like men In other callings, like
'jolly," and when ii comes as gift they
rarely look it in the mouth. A very poor
order of the article will sometimes pass
at par
But Mr.. Underwood's appeal was made
from very conspicuous place. He spoke
in, and as the leader of, the House OF
Representatives. On the other side of the
main aisle sat some alert and competent
men, following every word, and able to pu.
their fingers on every weak spot in the
measure and in the argument supporting
II. And they did their full duty. MIR.
Underwood was unable to get away with
the goods: and his bill, riddled first in
the House and then by the President, has
gone where the woodbine tw.neth.
What Mr.. Penrose not inappropriately
calls farce draws to a close. The bell
Is sounding for the final curtain. Has the
entertainment been worth while? No
tariff revision has been accomplished.
None was possible. All that the Pres
dent desired when he called Congress
together was the ratification of the Cana
dian pact; and the country would have
been fully satisfied with that. But the
temptation TO play politics was strong
and the democratic leaders yielded. Yield
ed not wisey, but too well.
Next winter the initiative, in a way
will be with the President With the
figures of the tariff board to guide by. he
will be able in his message to ask for
tariff legislation along lines declared for
by his party and by the people at the
polls. He wants a new wool schedule,
and other correct ons made In the Payne
law, and will indicate what in his opinion
should be done. Then 1t will be in order
for MIR. Underwood to respond and may
be he will not be in better position to
do so because OF the record he has made
at this SESSION, trading now with free
traders OF h S own party and now with
the dissatisfied protectionlsts of the other
party, and thus laying a sort OF worm
fence all around Robin Hood barn.

Mr.. Bryan's Large Order.

Mr.. Bryan's latest announcement is one
of great interest to his party and to the
country. He is going to inform himself
thoroughly. about democratic aspirants for
the presidency, and give the public the
benefit of his information and deduc IONS
He viii play no favorites. Much as he
may like this man or that, or much as
he may already have criticised this man
or that, he will treat all alike in this in
vestigaton, and aim for the truth. the
whole truth, and nothing but the truth,
with the sole object of aiding his party
in its task of making the best possible
nomination for President.
a large order. and one not likely to be
undertaken by anybody else. The Har-
mon men, the Wilson men, the Clark
men, and the Marshall men, will all be
active as special pleaders. They will Of
fer much as to their respective favorites,
but only praise. They have made up
their minds, and are in no sort of doubt
as to what the democracy should do in
the selection of a candidate.
Evidently Mr.. Bryan is in doubt, and
mas mapped out a plan for removing 1t.
He knows a good deal to begin with
about men, as he puts 1t, "who have him
dered and those who have helped the
party"-but he will enlarge his knowledge,
and then make his recommendations for
and against in the great convention battle
OF next year.
Mr.. Bryan's opportunities for executing
his self-imposed task are exceptional
His acquaintance with politicians is wide
He travels great deal-is almost always
on wheels. AS a platform speaker he is

ing as popular in communities that op-
pose his political doctrines as in those
that support them. In the next eight or
ten months he will meet larger num-
Der of politicians anxious to discuss pol
itics than any other public man in
America.
But the character of his task and the
opportunities he will enjoy should put h. I'M
on his guard against impositions ani at
tempted imposiuons. He has issued no
invitation to tattlers. or busy-bodies, or
malicious takers, but many such creatures
will so appraise his announcement, and
seek to impress him with inventions and
scandaious hearsays. The amount of CUFF
that will reach him by mail and by word
of mouth under the inspira ion of his
declared purpose will be enormous
But Mr.. Bryan is at heart a clean, just
man, who fights in the open and on the
level, and is object, we may all be sure,
is 70 do the square thing in this business.
He is naturally very much interested in
his policies, and desrous that the demo-
cratic nominee for President next year
shall be friendly to them; but nothing in
his record would support a suggestion
that he would advance such a mans pros

Hearst, Murphy and Next Year.

Can 4 be true. as reported. that
william X. Hearst these days, even
while abroad, is taking an actlve in
terest in democratic national politics.
and IS thinking of going as a dele
gate To the democratic national con-
yention next year? If true, the report
IS important
Mr.. Hearst has been in and out of
the democratic party-neyer in to the
extent that he would support any step
the party chose TO take. and never out
in q way TO bar his return when mat
ters shaped up again to his liking. He
is a man of independent spirit as well
as of independent means. and will have
his say as to both men and measures.

When father works or carveS the duck
His dignity is shrunk,

Before that monster grim.
He wears look of maniac glee
And gibbers at the chunk

States and Marriage.
From the philadelphia Record.

TUW tHt FNIIdUtIPHIH NtCOfu.
Interstate comfy is poor rule unless
1t works both ways. 1t seems to be as
sumed that a marriage which could not
take place in New York would be recog-
niZed as valid there If performed In some
state where it is valid, because interst
comfy would require the courts of New
York to recognize the validity of an act
which was lawful in the locality where
1t was performed. But why should not
interstate comfy prevent a marriage in
Rhode Island which ii is proposed to have
there because it is forbidden by judicial
decree in New York? If the courts of
New York decree that man may not re-
marry on account of his misconduct, what
kind Of interstate comfy is shown if the
ministers and magistrates of other states
are eager to perform the ceremony?
