THE BOLTERS CALL.

The fight against Mr.. Taft is going to
be kept up. The resentments occasioned
at Chicago are not going to be permitted
to die out after the usual manner Of
convention resentments. The movement
for revenge has both the necessary
money and a candidate with sufficient
personal following so that it thinks 1t
can count upon making its purpose eff
fective. That is the reason for the third
party call issued yesterday.
1t is idle to pretend either that there
is an exigency demanding the creation
Of third party or that there really will
be third party in any proper sense or
the word. So little reason exists for the
action taken yesterday that thu leader
Of the movement has been fairly
gravelled for days trying to find an issue
to excuse his entrance into the contest,
and his followers show realization OF
the situation by indicating a determine
ton to remain Republicans or by ex-
hibiting a preference for Wilson.
And as for the movement, let no one

weary with the slow progress Of the old

which go to make up real party, such

Its real significance is evident in the
fact that most Of its supporters will in

publicans. They have no illusions as to
its temporary and factional nature. And
the selfish calculation Of these men COM
pels the so-called new party of higher
political morality to descend to sharp
practices at its inception. To obtain a
single electoral vote it must fitch an
other party's electors and place on the
ballot.

IN FAVOR OF ALDRICH PLAN
Writer Deprecates a Common Attitude
Toward Currency Reform Scheme.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: Your timely editorial regarding the
Democratic platform and the Aldrtch
scheme for currency reform suggests one
OF the most serious weaknesses In the pro-
gramme Of that party. To oppose the
Aldrich plan and to suggest as substi-
tute the meaningless, colorless generaliza-
tons OF the platform will not do. The
problem Of securing an elastic and adapt
able currency is one OF the most serious
confronting the country, and deserves
something better than makeshift treat
ment.
The Aldrioh scheme, with ell its defects.
is based on the best experience Europe
can furnish. And in Europe panics and
depressions like those which choke business
here are unknown.
There are several weaknesses in the
Aldrich scheme. one OF which is the COM
paratively small degree Of participation in
the management by the public. But this
is not inherent In the plan. and does not
furnish sufficient reason for It's rejection.
Aside from its weaknesses. the Adrich
plan offers the most Intelligent and pro-
gressive basis for currency reform which
has been presented to the people. 1t Is one
OF the few schemes presented for public
approval based on analytic. scientific study.
II Is a matter OF regret that the Aldrich
scheme has been dragged INTO politics.
Such an event has already infected the
public with the prejudice against Its at
tached name But to denounce the scheme
for the sake OF political prejudice and ex-
nedienry will I'm the end harm the marty
which makes such an appeal The Demo
cratic party cannot hope to attract the
reasonable thinking class OF voters by its
action. JAMES G. STEVENS.

MONEY AND BUSINESS.

The stock market for the week ended
July was irregular and gave no fair
indication Of future operations. Tho un-
dertone was strong, but price fuctua-
lions as a result OF politics and crop
prospects kept the students Of values In
a state Of uncertainty in trying to fore
cast movements.
National business is increasing and
confidence has been woven into a chain
which apparently lacks only the link Of
good crops to make II complete. Crop
news Of the week was favorable, espe-
cially of wheat. which has been bene-
fitted by rains where needed. Harvesting
returns indicate good yields Of winter
wheat. Kansas promises q yield of IT,
100000 bushels. compared with $1,000
600 bushels in 1911. The government
cotton crop estimate Issued last week
was disappointing, but private esti-
mates, which are frequently more trust
worthy than the government report. give
a higher percentage Of both acreage and
condition. 1t is worthy of note that the
tone Of optimism reflected throughout the
country is decidedly pronounced In asri-
cultural sections and Ii shared by men

WINNING AT STOCKHOLM.

Yesterdays success of the Americans
in the Olympic games at Stockholm more
than equalled expectations The su-
premacy Of this country in the sprint
was never more strikingly demonstrated
than when Americans finished first, sec
ond and third in the 100 metres race, the
international equivalent Of the 100 yards
dash Of this country. In this event at
least one competitor of another nation
atty was feared, but the Americans
swept everything before them and the
American flag was hung out on all three
posts used to announce the nationality OF
the victors In the events.
Besides winning the sprint, this coun-
try took the Pentathlon, the all-around
athletic contest And in the trial and
other preliminary contests the American
entrants did well, insuring a strong rep
resentation for this country in the finals
when they are held. The prospects OF
victory for America are exceedingly
bright.

UNIONIZING THE SEA.

1t will be hard to form effectively the
union Of ships officers which Is being at
tempted, since there is little in common
between the third mate Of tramp
steamship and the captain Of a big
transatlantic liner. In general trade
unions are made up Of men who do the
same work under practically the same
conditions and for similar wages. Stand
ardization under such circumstances is
easy. United action is natural, for the
interests Of one and all are nearly identi-
cal Doubtless the officers Of ships have
similar things to complain Of They all
are or think they are underpaid. The
hours Of their work are exacting and
they have little time away from their
ships. But would captains Of ships, men
receiving $1,000, $1,000 or 5000 year,
strike in order to obtain the granting Of
demands made BY union Of officers
Nothing Of that Bort happens In labor

and general managers and others with

putes.

FRICTION IN PANAMA.

The disorder In Panama on the Fourth
of July Is much to be regretted from all
points Of view, but most Of all, perhaps.
on account of its apparent relationship
to the recent general elections there and
the part which was taken by agents or
the American government In them That
Is the feature Of the case which is pos
sibly invested with political significance
and which demands the most delicate
and at the same time resolute treatment
The killing of even a single American IN
a street brawl In Panama would need
looking into. The suggestion that an at
tack was made upon American citizens
and soldiers by the police Of Panama.
out of resentment at the action OF this
government In the Panama elections,
would If verified be far more grave.
1t Is Of course no new thing for a
party or faction to be bad loser In an
electoral campaign and to resort to vio-
lence In expression Of its discomfort with
the result, even though, as in this case,
the justice and integrity Of the latter be
above suspicion. But such a course
would be pursued by the present gov.
eminent of Panama with peculiarly
bad grace, for the reason that Its head
has hitherto been foremost In invoking
the moral protection and intervention OF
the United States. President Arosemena
personally came TO this country TO In
woke American aid against what he
deemed the oppression and injustice OF
the administration then ruling. More
over, In the present case his government
cordially approved the invitation to the
United States to exercise supervision
over the elections. Having taken that
course, he cannot consistently complain
Of the outcome.
1t will probably be found that the I'M
happy occurrence Of last week was not
inspired or approved by the government,
but was the result Of mere personal pas
sion, inflamed with too liberal imbibing
Of agudrdiente, and that the government
of Panama will promptly make what
ever reparation is In its power. The
overwhelming opinion Of the people OF
both parties seems to be that the dell
cate functions Of the American super
visors on election day were performed
with discretion and fawless impartiality
and that the result was the most fair
and free election ever held In the 18TH
mian republic. 1t is not to be believed
that the Panaman government will dis
sent from that opinion; certainly not
that it will permit any disappointment
which it may feel TO be manifested in a
manner unfriendly to the United States.

ON POLITICAL restrictions.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: AS commanders in chief Of the army
and navy of the United States prefer men
like Taft or Wilson to Roosevelt AS a
Democrat prefer Wilson to Taft and
Roosevelt both. but as one who believes
that restricting ONCE holding or voting
should be voluntary. not compulsory among
sane adults Of either sex I'm for Roosevelt
and Lindsey this year
believe that Mr.. Bryan's plank n the
platform restricting Wilson TO one term
should have been opposed by the latter
gentleman. who gives as his excuse for not
opposing It that he hadn't read the plat
form" Such man ought not to be al
lowed to go before the country. for he is a
trucker to what he deems to be popular
prejudice. and the sooner those who are
thinking Of voting for Wilson take this
truth into their reckoning the better.

A CHANCE FOR TWO BATTLESHIPS

The vote in the Senate in favor Of
continuing battleship construction at
the rate Of two ships a year ought to
put an end to the Houses futile pro-
gramme of economizing at the expense
of the nations military preparedness
and efficiency. The Democratic majority
in the lower branch Of Congress has
been willing to go on record as favOring
an increase Of S75.000,OO0 a year in
pension expenditure, but at the same
time has voted to withhold money
needed for naval construction, although
such course threatens to reduce the
United States from second to fifth rank
90 naval power.
The Senate has shown that 1t IS still
able to look at the problem Of national
defence with common sense and to keep
that problem out of party politics. Up
to last spring no party in either house
had within recent years dreamed of
drawing partisan lines on the question
Of naval Development. Speaker Clark
and Mr.. Underwood, however, ruled
that the increase Of the navy was a
party issue, on which all Democrats
must be bound by the decision Of the
caucus. The caucus, angered because a
check had been put on the usual pork
barrel" appropriations, took revenge by
voting against further authorization
OF battleships, thus making the main
tenance Of the navy hinge on the re-
suits Of factional quarTels over the dis
tribution of legislative spoils.
The attitude Of the Democrats In the
Senate has been broader. Only eight Of
them voted against authorizing two new
battleships, and party lines were ig-
nored In the discussion Of the question.
Probably the Democrats in the Senate
were encouraged to disregard the edict
OF the House caucus because the Demo
cratic National Convention also blew
cold on IT, The Baltimore platform
contained the promise that the Demo
cratic party would continue faithfully
ito observe the constitutional require
'srnents TO provide and maintain an
adequate and well-proportioned navy,
Sufficient to defend American policies,
protect our citizens and uphold the
"honor and dignity of the nation"
There Is no warrant in that declaration
for suddenly interrupting naval con-
struction with view to reducing our
naval strength below that of Germany,
France or japan. In fact, no Demo-
cratic platform for years past has advo-
Gated economy at the expense of the
navy. The Democrats in the House
ought to see that they made a serious
blunder in seeking TO suspend battleship
construction. Public opinion will sus-
