WHY INTERVENE?

There appears to be no good reason,
Oh grounds Of precedent, justice, hui
manity or any other, for Intervention
by the sO-callGd great powers Of Eu-
rome I'm the settlement of the issues OF
the Balkan war. Those powers for
more than third Of a century neg
lected to enforce their own formal and
solemn DEGREES as set forth In the
Treaty of Berlin. and thus failed to
avert the danger of such war. When
few weeks ago the war became I'M
minent they refrained with striking
unanimity from Intervening to pre-
vent it and from doing anything prac'
tical and efficient 10 avert IT, BY pur-
suing that course they have logically
and equitably debarred themselves
from any moral right now to meddle
with the case
There was no intervention in the war
between Italy and Turkey, which has
lust closed There was none between
japan and Russia. There was none
between Great Britain and the Beers.
We have no recollection Of any between
Spain and the United States, or be.
tween France and Germany, or Prus-
sia and Austria, or Prussia and Den
mark. or In other wars which have
been fought to a finish" There was
some European meddling between
japan and China, which entailed dis
credit and ultimate disaster upon the
power which was chiefly responsible
for II; and there was also some be-
tween Russia and Turkey, which has
not been greatly justified by its results
else the present war would not have
occurred. There Is i'm these precedents
no encouragement for meddling be-
tween the Balkan League and TurEey.
The allied kingdoms began this war
on their own account, without either
incitement or restraint from the great
powers. They have waged II with
singular discretion, energy and sue
cess. They have shown their abundant
ability to conduct IL 10 speedy and
triumphant close, with a minimum or
devastation and of disturbance Of in
ternatlonal interests. They are GER
tainly competent to conclude peace and
TO agree with their beaten adversary
upon its terms, without any outside aid
or interference. They are, moreover, by
every principle Of fairness and equity

WHICH ROAD?

New York States policy OF public
service regulation faces a critical time
with the incoming of Mr.. Suffers adj
u.uisration. The new Governor will
have a great opportunity and viii be
subjected 10 great temptations We
hope he viii meet the test to the sails
faction Of the general body Of the pco-
pie. who want the Public Service COM
missions kept out OF politics and con-
tiuued under the direction Of high class
men.
So far these commissions have con-
tinued in the lines marked out by Gov
ernor Hughes and in the non-partlsan
spirit which be mstilled into them.
'The work Of the 2d District Commits.
sion has commanded almost universal
praise. The commission in this city
has been somewhat less fortunate,
owing 10 conditions beyond its control.
Its regulatye work has been well done.
but that part Of It's labor has been
largely oyershadowed by the problem
of new subways. The public has been
impatieut for results, and held It re-
sDousible for delays incident to the ne
Cessity Of securing the cooperation of
the city authorities and possible build
ers in its plans Nevertheless, il has
the new lines well under way, and
most fair-mindcd persons will agree
that it has done ali that could be done
I'm the face of tremendous obstacles.
Governor Hughess policy has been
abundantIy justified, and any reversal
Of it would be a great misfortune.
Mr.. Sulzer's appointments TO these
commissions viii therefore he awaited
with interest. Governor Hughes paid
no attention 10 political recommends
: tions in constituting thenb but picked
out highly respected citizens solely
with view TO good administration.
Two Of the five members Of each COM
mission were Democrats. The major
ity Of each body is still as he left It,
{ but the new Governors appointments
may revoiHtionize them He will have
nt the start three places to fill in
tho "a District COmmission-thOse Of
. Chairman Stevens, whose term ex-
pires; Commissioner Olmsted, who
holds over because Tammany refused
10 confirm Governor Dix's nominee for
the Office. and Commissioner Douglas,
q recess appointee. In the lst District
the term Of Chairman Wilcox expires.
His successor, with Commissioners
Cram and Williams, Governor DiX's Sc
Iocfions, will bo able To dominate the
: board.
We do not IN aAy narrow spirit OF
DaytisaDship urge Dir. sulzer to leave

PREDICTS DUTY ON ART ANEW
American Art News Says Demo
cratic Congress VIII Put It Back.

In an editorial III it's issue of to-day
The American Art News" says that from
AN inside land authoritative source" II
has been learned that the Democratic
party is almost certain 10 restore the duty
on art even II IN modified form, Thorn
as II. Ryan, August Belmont and other
collectors. however, it is pointed out, may
stay the tide In that direction.
The editorial reads as follows:
We are informed from an inside and
authoritative source that now. with the
Democratic party successful and with the
coming revision OF the tariy. tho duty
on art Is almost certain 10 be restored,
even IL I'm a modified form. Ii Is possible,
Of course, that the influence OF such
prominent Democrats as Messrs. Thomas
r. Ryan, August Belmont and others,
who are art collectors and lovers. and
who contributed largely to the Democrat
&c campaign fund may be sufficiently
powerful to prevent the taxing OF art
again, but OF the fact that an effort will
be made to restore the duties on all for
eign art works there is no doubt.

A PIGHT's A FIGHT
Whether the Participants Be M. P.s,
Suffragettes or Bull Moosers.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Not only have men the ballot, nut
they take the additional privilege OF not
abiding by it's decision cheerfully. In
proof OF this statement ! point out the
dissatisfaction manifested by those pollu-
cal parties which could not seat as many
OF their candidates In Office as they would
have liked. The Progressives placed
themselves on guard over the ballots
polled in one section OF the state because
they mistrusted the Democrats, and the
Democrats rotaliated by placing guard
both over the Progressiyes and the bal
lots. To-day we read OF Democrats In
another section OF the country who would
kill. roast and deyour real bull moose
and the Moosers threaten 10 make trouble
for the Democratic cannibals If they carry
out their plan. All political parties, now
ever. agree that women In their Struggle
for self-government should keep well
within "ladylike" bounds.
In England, also. tho members or the
House OF Commons do not abide by the
decision of their votes cheerfully, and the
defeated voters call the yictors honor
able IuitOTS ana HouStoS'S NbNS'
hurting order blanks at one another ana
one honorable CD gentleman even went
30 far Az 10 fling a book at the honorable
head of Winston Churchill. The English
suffragettes show better Judgment in the
form OF their remonstrances. They con-
sider books 20 be too sacred TO use as
missiles. They throw stones or use riding
whips upon the shoulders OF their Oppo-
nents, and some shake the object OF their
displeasure in u vain effort to rouse him
from his mental lethargy. Not word Of
censure is uttered against the riotous
gentlemen of the House OF Commons. but
howls OF disapproyal follow the actions
Of the suffragettes, and yet men have the
power which their votes give them 10
change conditions obnoxious to them.
while women are denied all expression on
any subject.
Neither American nor English men can
rise above the level of their womanhood,
and II mems expression OF political dis
satisfaction is not criticised, and we
would be fair, we must admit: What's
sauce for tho gander is sauce for the
goose" MARTHA KLATsCHKEN.

THE TALK OF THE DAY.

Tho growing tendency among fashion
able hotel dwellers TO shun grill and din
ing rooms, and TO have all meals. with
the occasional exception OF dinner, served
In their apartments, has resulted IN an in
novation in one OF the new uptown hotels.
A secret panel, which operates with an
electric push button, opens In the wall OF
the apartment drawing room disclosing a
tiny cupboard filled with special sets OF
china, glass, HlIverware and linen. These
individual sets are cared for by special
force I'm the kitchen and packed away
after each meal. Several parties who
mako the hotel home have taken ed-
vantage OF the special facilities offered
and have ordered their own tableware.
Families which occupy suites aud have
brought with them their own servants go
step further and never give over their
private property to the cruel officers OF
the regular kitchen STAFF. but have It at
tended to BY their own maids.
