ton. Evidently the case of former Governor Voorhees, is taken as
a precedent. Governor Griggs resigned within thirty days of the
November election and conshtutionaHy a new governor could not
be elected until the next succeeding election, so that Voorhees,,
as acting Governor, served about thirteen months. That put him
in line for the regular nomination for governor. In the very i'm
probable event of the resignation of Wilson for any cause in June
or July a governor would have TO be elected next November, and
the least probable Republican nominee would be the president of
the Senate, whose brief role as acting governor would give him
no precedence for the nomination. And then, again, Voorhees,
was nominated by delegates in "a convention, while nominations
for governor hereafter, or as long as the present law exists, will
be made in the party primaries.

mr.. TAF7,s FORTHCOMING MESSAGE.

6HWO subjects must necessarily occupy first places in the Presi
dents forthcoming annual message, the tariff and the trusts,
and what the President says on these subjects will be read
with the closest attention by millions of people. A third and not
less important topic will be that of Alaska and the conservation
of the great natural resources. A complete reversal of the Presi
dents policy when Ballinger was his mentor is expected. A
parcels post will be recommended. The postmaster general has
suggested one only for the country mail routes and at rates not to
interfere with express company rates and profits. 1t would be
farcical for the President to make such a recommendation to this
Congress. The people want a real parcels post on the European
plan and they are going to have it, and this Congress is prepared
to vote ii, with or without any recommendation. Much depends
on the character of the Presidents message. Mr.. Taft might
insure his reelection by that message. And, again, he might ac.
compIish his defeat.

MARJORIE'S WORLD.

My, what a big, big world
Dear God has given me!
With far more stars than I can count
More hills than / can see!
And roses, such a lot:
Why. if I picked me n
For every minute Of the day
I never should be done!
And birds in every tree
With wonderful bright wingsl
They watt till I come running out
To tell me such glad thingsi
And, oh, the little brooks
That call to me to play,
I'm sure they must be very glad
That I know what they say!
And then when night ONE here
And into bed I creep,
Such lovely little dreams there r
To play with me in sleep.
1t is a big, big world,
Oh, such a lovely place
But most of all the things, 1 think,
l love my mothers face.

AMERICAN MEDDLING nv CHINA.

TSo EPORTS that the United States is getting ready to send 10000
Inn soldiers to China from the Philippines may be set down
as nonsense. The Taft administration was equal to the
emergency of sending troops to the Texan border during the revo-
luton in Mexico, but only for observation and to be ready to
protect foreign interests in Mexico so as to fend off possible
European interference. We have troops in the Philippines, at the
door of China, and a great emergency may arise to justify landing
them in China. but it would be supreme folly to take such a step
unless it was absolutely necessary for the protection of life. The
consequences of armed intervention might prove calamitous to
Americans and other foreigners in China; and it would inevitably
prove a fatal blow to American commercial interests, for it would
create an antiAmerican prejudice among the Chinese to last for
a quarter of a century.

NEW yoPKs DEFECTIVE PRIMARY Law.

KNEW YORK,S new primary election law is also full OF de-
AM fects, and to such an extent as to be practically unwork
able. 1t is not probable any primary can be held under
the law until it is radically amended. The new law applies not
only to candidates for city, county, congressional, judicial, Assem-
bly, and senatorial offices, but provides for the direct nomination of
all party committees from the State committee down. Its pro
visions, however, are so confusing and contradictory that the Legis-
lature will have TO make a complete recast of the law. At the
same time the New Jersey Legislature will have some tnkerlng
to do wa ~ primary election law.

AM AN EoR We CRISIS.

IL that there are Kaleidoscope changes from day to day. Yuan
Shikai, described as the strong hand of China, takes the
premiership by imperial decree, and the question is, what VIII ne
Or can he do with it. The imperial authority is lost, the court is
impotent. Provinces have set up independent republics, the army
and navy are in revolt, Manchus massacre Chinese and Chinese
slaughter Manchus. To bring order out of this chaos a Napoleon is
needed. The hand that seizes power must be guanteted in steel.
Is Yuan such a man? is there a man for the crisis?

wants McDermitt for Deputy Chief.

Wants McDermitt for Deputy Chief.
To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
And still the fire commissioners are
split over the selection of a deputy
chief. Will they possibly in the near
future agree upon a man? 1t sure must
be that one of the commissioners has q
grievance he wants to even up when nc
alone stands out after the other three
have agreed upon a man.
Now that all the mel have taken the
civil service examination, the COM
mission has asked for the record Of
each. The Fire Commission has been
opposed to this, Inc l believe they
are right. 1t seems hat they favor
Battalion Chief NJ. P. A. McDermitt for
the position. In their position they I'M
derstand better who Is qualified for the
position than the Civil Service Com
mission, and they ought to be given
more than a passing consideration.
Many times the commission has Sc
lected men for positions ecaus they
have passed examinations who were
really not capable.
Commissioner Burke seems again to
be the hold-up, and he argues that
the records of the men should be given
out. If this is done it will be some-
what Of a hit at McDermitt, who has
been before the board on trivial
charges. There is no question but that
McDermitt is a real fire fighter, and he
would make a grand deputy chief
Then, too, there is a certainty that the
next deputy chief will be chief of tha
fire department in short order, for 1t
has been rumored that Chief Sloan will
retire in a very short time.
It's up to the fire commissioners 20
appoint the best man, and even though
the commissioners have a little sore
ness, let them forget and select a man
who is fearless and a common sense
fire fighter. Such a mar is Battalion
Chief McDermitt. CITIZEN.

ing to get killed or seriously injured,

down and badly bruised when a TO-
year-old lad fell against her as he
dashed headlong from the coping.

"When in Rome do as Rome does"
is not a Dad apothegm, after all, es-
pecially in China. In support of this
advice a grimly humorous incident is
reported from Ning-po.
Two distinguished foreigners hired

the task themselves.
The strangers had not proceeded
very far, however, before they be-
came aware of the fact that pedes-
TRANS were all staring in their diree-
ton and were amazed to see a great
procession following them. Nothing
happened, however, and they duly ar
rived at their destination beyond the
south gate of the city.
There on demanding an explanation,
they learned hat to ride in a roofiess
sedan was the distinctive mark of a
criminal going to d~eeapitation, n as
