upon his desire to promote the welfare OF
the people: that he seeks to serve the
cause" and that he must know very
clearly the cause he is seeking TO serve.
Then he proceeds to say the cause he is
interested in lies very plain to his view;
that the government OF the United States
Is now bound by the policies which have
become characteristic OF the Republican
party in recent years and is mot free to
serve the whole people impartially, and II
ought to be set free" Then he proceeds
with a lot OF we'll rounded sentences
which do not contain one sentence Of
practical suggestions.
In fact, has Mr.. Wilson In his whole
campaign offered a single practical sug-
gestion, and is not this message TO the
people" a sample OF all he has said?
For instance, what is his position re-
garding the upbuilding Of our navy? How
does he stand regarding the fertilization
Of the Panama Canal? I challenge any
one 10 define clearly Mr.. Wilson'S sent'-
ments on either question.
Am I not right in saying that II Mr..
Wilson is elected he and his party
will do all they can to stop the increase
Of the navy? And II they succeed the
time will come when we will be called
upon TO surrender the Monroe Doctrine
through our inability 20 maintain It,
Then we will hang our heads in shame
when too late. READER.

FOR A NoN-PARrIsAN COURT

The appeal issued by large number
Of prominent lawyers and business
men, many of them Democrats, urging
the voters to support Judges Hiscock
and Chase for the Court Of Appeals
Justly emphasizes the seriousness or
the situation presented by the judicial
contest. AS The Tribune has hereto
fore pointed out. the Democrats are
attempting TO transform this tribunal
from a court reasonably balanced with
respect to the political utilization OF It's
Judges into one all but unanimously
Democratic. Thanks 10 the broad
mindedness Of the Republicans, not
withstanding their domination Of the
state for years, the court now stands
four Democrats TO three Republicans.
The Republicans have not even noml-
mated q new Republican since 1904
until now, but have retained old judges
of satisfactory service and accepted
Democrats for new judges. Now
when through their generosity they
have only a minority representation,
the Democrats attempt to seize both
places to be vacated by Republicans
retiring on account Of age.
The suggestion that the Republicans
and Democrats should each select one
candidate for these vacancies was
made early in the summer by the
State Bar Association, the Bar Assoc
citation Of the City of New York ana
thirty-one other bar associations. The
Republicans. though this suggestion
meant reducing their representation In
the court from three 10 two, responded
to It favorably, in loyalty to their es-
tablished policy Of keeping this tri-
bunal out Of politics, and put forward
Judge HiscOck; but both the Progress
sives and the Democrats rejected H.
and the Republicans were forced to
complete their ticket by naming Judge
Chase, who like Judge HiscocK, has
served to the satisfaction OF the Whole
state in the court by designation OF
the Governor. Both of these men are
now on the DeliCu VI IhS 'uP'''''
Court by the choice Of both parties In
their districts, so that they are pc
culiarly qualified to command non
partisan support at the present time
When the Court Of Appeals vas or
eanized The makers Of the constitu-
ton took pains to secure an initial
representation Of two to the minority
and il never since has been less than
that. Until now nobody has attempt
ed to reduce the minority TO one. The
voters. without regard to party. should
protect the court from being made all
but unanimously Of one party COM
plexion, and should rebuke the poll
ticIans who have attempted the grab.
Judges Hiscock and Chase, besides be-
ing the representatives Of the non
partisan principle, are far superior'in
experience and proved judicial ca
pacity to any Of the candidates run
ming against them.

THE 10TH AMENDMENT.

Washington dispatches report that
thirty-two states have notified to Sec
retary Knox their ratification OF the
income tax amendment to the federal
Constitution. Two other states have
ratified but sent no official notice. The
number Of states whose assent Is re-
1uired to make the amendment ei1ec-
five is thirty-six, so that only two more
approyals are needed. 1t is, however,
stretching the probabilities to say, as
the washington report does, that the
amendment may be ready to be pro-
claimed "by January L. Vermont Is
the only state whose Legislature Is now
in session or will be likely to be In ses-
sion until after January l, and Yer
mont rejected the amendment on Janu-
ary II. 1911, by the vote Of both legis'
lative branches.
It is said In Washington that New
Hampshire and Utah have reported re-
iectiOns to the state Department. That
seems to be an error, for In New Hamp-
shire one branch Of the Legislature has
twice voted to ratify and the other has
twice refused to ratify, and in Utah
the two houses have had similar diff
ference on a single test. The only leg
islatures to reject outright were those
of Vermont, Rhode Island, Connecticut
and Massachusetts,. But Massachu-
sets did not consider the rejection
final, for it's Legislature has since voted
twice on the amendment, the two
houses disagreeing each time.
Counting Vermont, Rhode Island and
Connecticut as rejectors, there are
eleven states in which no definite ac-
ton either way has been taken. They
are Delaware, New Hampshire, Massa-
chusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
West Virginia, Virginia, Florida, New
Mexico, Wyoming and Utah. Della
ware, New Mexico and Wyoming have
not voted at all. In New Hampshire,
Massachusetts,, New Jersey, West Vir-
ginia, Virginia, Florida and Utah one
house has favored and the other OPP
posed ratification. In Pennsylvania one
house has voted yes and the other has
not voted Inasmuch as the legislat-
ures in all these states except Virginia
will meet next winter, It is probable
that the amendment will secure the
support Of the necessary two by the

SINGULAR AND PLURAL.

The gyroscopical candidate for Pres
Gdent complains that people don't I'M
derstand the principle on which he
rotates. He told voters IN Newark,
n. j., on Tuesday that the only thing
his critics have to do "to know Gov
"ernor Wilson's position on the tariff
'is to read and comprehend the Eng
fish language If the Governor had
used the language more accurately he
would have said that only knowl-
edge Of English was required TO know
bis views on the tariff. Position is
singular, but views are plural. Gov
ernor Wilson's position on the tariff is
not q position at ALL varying according
TO latitude and longitude. But ne has
most felicitously expressed as many
different views as there are possible
points Of view. He has boxed the
compass and travelled around the cir
Gle. and what he has said In the Union
Square Chamber Of Tariff Horrors in
this city is as far apart from what he
has said in Pittsburgh and Philadel-
pbia as the North Pole is from the
South Pole or longitude 90 degrees
west from longitude 90 degrees east,
The people who have had trouble in
understanding his position" have sim.
ply not been able to keep up with Gov
ernor Wilson's speed as a rotator. His
versatility has embarrassed them, and
they have been astonished to find him
declaring one day that the protective
system is an odious and oppressive
fraud, harming everybody affected by
il, and the next day that II is ali right
in essentials and needs only to be
cleared of its excrescences and barna-
cles and restored TO its pristine vigor.
1t is a little hard for persons with a
fixed point Of view, either friendly TO
protection or hostile 10 it, to adjust
themselves TO Governor Wilson's gyra-
tons and to recognize with him the
ACCESSIBILITY Of making ones position"
always fit the prepossessions Of ones
auditors.
"The New York SUM-" which is sup
porting Mr.. Wilson, cannot overlook
the humorous possibilities of his "posl-
ton" on the tariff. 1t said the other
day:
II DR.. Wilson has any precise, deh-
J mite, hard and fast ideas about tarln
legislation he has yet to communicate
them. Almost anything can be

THE SECOND TERM QUESTION
Reward for Faithful Service Has Al
ways Been Reelection.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: During the present campaign we
have naturally heard considerable regard
ing the third term question, and II tnere
was any danger Of its being OF practical
Importance we ought to hear great oeai
more, for every student OF history knows
the danger to republican INSTITUTIONS
which turks in too continuous term Oh
the Chief Executive. But the prlnciple
that no President shall serve more thah
two terms is so ingrained in the American
mind and has become such q settleu part
NJ the unwritten law Of the land that
there is probably no practical danger Oh
its ever being subverted.
But there Is another principle "hlch
is equally imbedded in the American nlhu
and has become equally a part OF the uh-
written law, Of which we have heard little
or nothing, and that is the second term
question"
From the very foundation OF the Re
public II has been the rule that Presi-
dent who has served the people we'll should
receive as a tust recognition and seal OF
appreciation a reelection for second
term OF Office. II was so In the case Oh
Washington, OF jefferson. Of Madison OF
Monroe and OF Jackson. Then came tenn
porary break in the custom, owing 10 the
deaths of Harrison and Taylor, but AFTER
the war, and when the Republican party
became dominant. the old rule was again
observed, and the people have shown their
anpreciation OF the services OF great
Presidents by a reelection. Thus LIN
coin was reelected in 1864 and General
Grant received similar honor In lS'2'
Mckinley was elected for second term
in 1895. and Colonel Roosevelt was elect
ed 10 succeed himself In 1904.
The rule may thus be considered as an
established one in our American system
Of government, and the question naturally
arises, Why should It not be followed IN
the case OF President Taft? Certainly
there has been no administration con-
Quoted with more careful consideration
for the rights and the interests OF the
neople and a more conscientious desire
properly to fulfil every duty OF the Office.
beg to suggest that this unwritten law
Of the second term should not be violated
in the present election.

duction at all in the debt and taxes OF
great city is noteworthy and en-
viable. Nor has this been done at the
expense of neglecting public works. IL
Is shown that vigorous sanitary admin
istration has reduced the death rate IN
10000 from 15S to 80, that seventy
two miles of electric street railways
have been built, that unhealthy areas
have been cleared and redeemed, that
the smoke nuisance and other evils
have been effectively combated, ard
that a multiplicity of works have been
performed for the immediate good OF
the people.
The programme Of the RefOrmers IS
to continue the policies which nave
produced these gratifying results. Ihe
Progressives. on the other hand, while
of course approving what has thus been
done. are demanding the official recog-
milton of trade unions and the estaD-
lishment of union wages, hours ana
conditions Of labor for all munlcipal
employees: the extension of free public
feeding of school children and various
similar measures. The Labor party Is
also putting multitude Of candidates
into the field, on issues not unlike
those of the Progresives but If pos
sible in some respects more advanced,
though in some particulars less social
istic. 1t will be battle royal to-day
with three years government OF nearly
eight million people as the stake.

One great difference between General
Hancock and Governor Wilson is that
the former had the courage to admit
that he believed the tariff to be "a local
issue"
A Denver professor says that the
world would be worse off If everybody
went to college. Undoubtedly. We
should have nobody left TO grow up
into uneducated geniuses.
A witness in the Harvester trust
hearing says that George w. Perkins
was the moving spirit" in its organ
ization. He is more than moving
spirit; he is an angel"
Constitutional reforms do not seem
to have improved the fighting qualities
of the Turk.
The acquiescence Of "The Evening
Post" in Governor Wilson's rational
protection theories is an amazing ex-
hibition of political docility. Are there
any real free traders or tariff for reve-
nue. only economists left?
The glove business must be booming,
to judge by the musical comedy de-
mand for undressed kids.
Seeing that they did not intervene TO
keep the peace, why should the great
powers NEEDLE to restore peace or to
dictate its terms in the Balkans? The
nations which began and are waging
the war seem to be competent to finish
the job which they have 80 prosper
ously begun.

able us TO do so we shall be glad to
