A TRIBUTE TO SENATOR LODGE.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: BY the stand he has taken that he
will not offer his amendment unless salts
fed that It would not endanger the passage
or the acceptance Of the Canadian reci-
procity bill" Senator Lodge puts himself
side by side with such high minded and
broad minded statesmen as was Patrick
Henry, when he opened the discussions OF
the first Continental Congress by saying:
British oppression has effaced the boun-
daries Of the several colonies. The distinc-
lions between Virginians, Pennsylvanians
New Workers and New Englanders are no
more. I am not Virginian but an Ameri-
can"
IL was such subordination Of colonial TO
national advantage that made possible the
success Of the American Revolution, and
that later averted dismemberment OF the
colonies by the adoption OF the federal
Constitution. Senator Lodge is state
Senator. and. as in honor bound. is loyal
10 the interests of his immediate consti
uents. but. higher than that. he is a United
states Senator. and, Loyalty mindful Of his
nationwide constituency, he will not set
the claim Of a particular section of the
country in opposition to the welfare OF the
country as whole.

GRABBING HIGHWAY PATRONAGE

The history of the Dix administration
has stripped the Murtaugh bill to re
form" the State Highway Commission
of all the pretence surrounding il when
il was first introduced. When the Gov
error took office the public was inclined
TO give faith and credit TO his desire TO
remodel certain state institutions in the
interest of economy. though regarding
it as mistaken But his open alliance
with Murphy, his shockingly bad ap-
pcintments, dictated by the boss ana
the espousal of the highway reform by
the Tammdny machine in the LeGislat-
ure have all made II plain that the aim
is not economy and efficiency but pat
rCnage. The highway bill just passed
by the Senate stands on exactly the
same plane as the scheme TO reform the
Court Of Claims. which the Governor
also advocated and which was so scan
dalous that even the Democratic Attor-
nev General had to denOunce II. Both
are mere patronage grabs, worthy Of
Murphy. from whom chiefly they are re-
ceiving support. In urging the reform
Of state commissions Governor Dix is
the respectable figure who covers with
the pretence of economy Murphy's pur-
pose to secure jobs. contracts and pat
ronage.
The first highway bill, putting CON
tracts in the hands of a Tammany com
mission. was so transparent piece or
iobbery that Governor Dix, after indors-
inc II. had TO withdraw It and declare it
had been misunderstood The purpose
had TO he little better disguised. The
adviser who made the mistake in draw
Ing the bill had 10 he RELOCATED to the
rear. The disguise in the present bill IS
better. but by no means complete. Its
sole aim is TO legislate out Of office a
commission Of which the majority are
Republicans and put In its place one
composed entirely of Democrats. The
pretence that the present commission
has been inefficient has been virtually
abandoned. The pretence that single
headed commissions are better and more
responsible IS also abandoned. If the
bill passes. the new commission. like the
present one. will consist Of three mem
hers. The difference is that while the
present one is not under the control or
Tammany Hall the new one will be.

PLOTS AGAINST MADERO

The safe arrival Of Mr.. Madero at the
Mexican capital is suspicious and graft
fying There is no occasion for surprise
at the threats which were made against
him or at the extraordinary precautions
which were regarded as necessary TO
assure his safety on the road. Those
things were, unhappily. to he expected
largely as the fruit Of seeds which Mr..
Madero himself had planted. THAT they
were overcome and that the revolution
airy leader succeeded in entering the city
without misadventure of any kind are
cause for satisfaction. not so much on
account Of his personal safety. important
as that is, as for its indication of the
power Of order and authority over law
lessness in Mexico. even after the de-
moralizing occurrences Of the last few
months.
It is not surprising either. that there
are conspiracies and agitations against
Mr.. Madero in various parts Of the re-
public for he himself has taught the
people to seek eXtra-egal means Of ex-
erting political influence, and his sue
cess has greatly encouraged them to put
the lesson into practice This is. how

Reports from the southern frontier OF
California indicate that a resrettaDle

by a few American news gathererS anx-

If municipal ownership and operation
at all resembles municipal acquisition in
its businesslike procedure there is 10
reason TO wonder that it is not success.
II is wears since the great and rich city
of New York began to move toward ac-
curing additional subway facilities. The
present subway was no more than IN
successful operation when the city re-
solved upon building another, or rs
equivalent in extensions TO the present
system. Since that time the city has
spent hundreds of millions Of dollars,
and still it has no additional subway.
IL has procured the passage OF many
laws by the state Legislature all of them
intended 10 further the prospect of new
subways. 1t has caused the constitution
of the state TO be amended so as TO in
crease its ability as borrower. 1t has
raised the assessments of the property
of its citizens still further TO enhance its
command over money. And there is no
new subway. The familiar cant
