Of Repudlsted Members.

To the Editor Of THE TINES:
Two editorials in yesterdays NO
vember 2S) Times are indeed timely
1.-THE Chief Lesson of the Election" and
"A Political Hang Over" Both point
to what sooner or later will be the ac-
cepted situation relative to the election
Of President and Vice President and
the convening Of congrss.
II has long been . question With tho
writer why some influential paper with
the interest OF the masses at heart did
not take UP vigorously and press to
fruition q change In the method Of the
election OF President and Vice President
as we'll az bring about . reasonable
practicable and consistent date for the
convening Of Congress after the bien-
NAL elections.
The time seems ripe for effective agi-
tntion OF these matters. The Constitu-
tion has ceased to be fetish with the
great mass Of the people. and It 10 now
quite generally recognized that changes

WILL THEY NEVER LEARN?

Why is it that the men who are so greatly inter-
ested in securing the good will of the people are so
Indifferent to the more profound movements in con.
temporary thought. In the West the railroads have
been disciplined by a stubborn public opinion be.
cause, for one thing they were wrong in their meth
DDS, and for anotner they insisted upon treating all
protests with contempt. The railroads have lost
something by those conflicts and the people have lost
something as WE'LL But the people did win in the
end and it is strange that result so significant
hould have been lost on the men responsible for
'he recent history of the New Haven.Grand Trunk
situation. Mellen, of the New Haven and Cham.

tons they occupy are the index Of their success

THE MINUTE MAN OF POLITICS.

Some men can never be put down. They are
never even modes, or diplomatic. They see their
occasions and they take them And If the manner ol
the seizure seems inopportune so much the worse
for the occasions. Just now for instance there is q
certain military spirit in the air. There is talk oI
more battleships and a Strengthening Of our land
forces and the creation Of a substantial naval re-
serve. But the Hon. William Suzer, governor-elect
Of the Empire State has proved that he is rot to be
diminished by all this martial hubbub. He, also is
brother to the War God. And he proves it by the
timely announcement that "pettcoats and politics
are to BE- banished from the National Guard Of the
State he has made famous by his eloquence and his
incorruptbility

NEW VERSIONS AND THE "oLD" BIBLE.

Another translation or version of the bible
published recently has been criticised chiefly on the
scholastic merit of the variation in its text and the
dubious value Of its departure from accepted mean
ings. But the gravest fault to be found with all
such translations is that their dissemination and
study may decrease the reading of the King James
edition, and thereby inict an appreciable loss upon
the use and purity Of the English language. Prof.
Mahaffy, of Dublin University has said in the pref
ace to one of his books on Greek literature that the
King lanes bible is the only translation Of any
book Of which he has knowledge that has improved
on the original" and it is because Of the esteem in
which that bible is held by scholarship that other
transations for general publication must be regard
ed as an incident for regret.
In the common hurry Of modern life, in the
circumstances under which all our newspapers and
some of our magazines are produced, there has de.
veloped kind of clipped, Telegraph English which
puts the end to be sought in the mind and under.
standing of the reader above the care with which
it should be expressed. But it seems pity that
exigencies of that kind should be permitted to in.
Huence our regard for the well of English unde.
filed" when work is being done that can be com.
peted deliberately, and these new translations OF
the Bible seem to indicate diminishing admiration
for the literary value Of work from which so many
writer's and students have drawn their inspiration
As text book in theology or a wade mecum for
sermons one translation may be as good as another
or better; but priceless treasure house Of pure
English the King James bible stands alone.

DON'T FORGET GORCAS.

Congress will undoubtedly award special honors
to Goethas the builder of the Panama canal but it
should also honor Gorgas, the man who paved the
way for Goethals.
Colonel Gorgas converted the Canal Zone from a
miasmatic pest hole into one of the heahest strips
of land on the globe Disease, as much as anything
else, nipped the French spirit in the bud when De
Lesseps one Of the most brilliant engineers Of all
time tried his hand at canal building the fever
swept isthmus. Goragas met those same conditions
like the hero he is and subdued them completely
There isn't single contagion to worry our canal
builders with the exception Of nostalgia, for there is
no place like home even to these men who are max
ing history by bringing into being the greatest en-
gineering project and the most promising artificial
waterway in the history Of the world. Colonel Goe-
thals is reapng glory for himself and his country in
territory made secure for him by Colonel Gorgas.

THEY'RE OFF IN THE PHILIPPINES

On three national occasions the Democratic party
has declared its belief that the Filipinos should be
made free and independent at the earliest possible
date.
Democratic bill has already been introduced
to hasten this happy event. Indeed, it fixes the date,
luly T. 1918, when sort of test independence shall
be proclaimed to them; and If they stand this for
eight short years, then they are to 60 their own
blssfu way.
But this measure, fortunately, is only one Of
those everlasting opposition bills, introduced with.
out hope of ever becoming law 1t would be shame
to tie the Democratic party down to it; for Demo.
Gratis know just as we'll everybody else does that
the Filipnos are not yet capable Of sefgovernment
Had either Mr.. Roosevelt or Mr.. Taft been elect
ed we might expect to hear a good deal OF the
merits of this foredoomed Jones bill. But with a
Democratic Administration coming in the friends Of
its specific provisions seem to have deserted it en-
masse. Even the most ardent left suggest that the
term OF probation is somewhat short-that period
Of Is or 80 years Of educational experimentation
would give better final results.
But this is the view only Of the radicals, the top
notch of modern ant-mperialism. There are many
lower notches. Fortunately, the Philippines plank in
the platform is itself the lamest in its latest inter-
pretation it involves merely such evidence Of good
will as is contained in declaration Of the intention
Of this country to set the Filipnos at liberty when.
ever and as soon as convinced that they know
how to govern themselves. To quote the Cleveland
Plain Dealer, "The setting of date is unnecessary
is in fact, fraught with certain evident difficulties.
To such proportions now that the Democrats arc
coming into power has dwinded the anti-imperialsn
which Bryan chose as the national issue in his 1900
campaign. There is imperative demand that the
thrice announced position" Of the Democratic party
in respect to colonial policy be substanated BY
action. The Filipnos must be gravely assured that
at some time in Ne vague future they shall be held
worthy of and granted their independence. To some
future generation and administration. whether Dem
ocratic, Republican, Progressive, Socialist or oI
some party as yet unborn, is extended cordial in
vitation to say when.
There is nothing in this to disturb the reflection:
of the most rabd imperialst in the country. We
trust however, that it will bring abundant joy to the
hearts of Filipino patriots.

LEADERSHIP.

1t is being said now by the critics Of the Pro-
gressve movement that its present hold on life de-
pends upon Theodore Roosevelt. And the authors
Of those timely remarks conceive themselves to be
displaying some great discovery. But they are not.
The Progressive movement as an inspiration Of pop
ular conviction is thing, as political organiza.
ton it is another. And political organization
like all political organzaons-it needs leadership.
And the Progressive movement in its expression
through political party differs in this matter Of lead
ership from its contemporaries only in the unusual
qualifications of the elected by circumstances for
that work. But the admitted need Of leadership by
no means implies the absence Of vast body Of men
and women ready to be led The Progressive vote
of November is sufficient proof Of that circumstance.

RKINGMAN,
Doesn't Want Monticello 70 Be Like
Mt Vernon.

To the Editor Of THE TINES:
T'here appeared lately In The Times
an open letter on Monticello" by Mrs.
Littieton. and she speaks about WASH
ington's. Grants, Lincoln's. Ackinley's.
Jackson's and JefRerson's, and she says
Monticello should be a. open ~ these.
When was Mt. Vernon opened to tho
public? Every other place except Mt.
vernon 10 opened. It 10 belittdng to
Washington's memory to mention JEFF
ferson with Washington. as Washington
stands alone, and Mt. Vernon shouldn't
be mentioned when there 10 such q stis-
ma hanging over the place. Monticello
wasn't bought by school children pen.
MES. 1t 10 private properly maintained
by Congressman Levy, and he doesn't
allow dime museum features there as at
Mt. Vernon. He doesn't charge Is cents
to enter tho grounds. He doesn't keep
out children on account Of the entrance
Zee. There 10 no pay as you enter sys-
TEN there. and I sincerely hope 1t will
not be another case Of Mt. Vernon to
contend with. It grieyes Mrs. Littleton
that the house Is sometimes occupied at
Monticello. How about the Mt. Vernon
Association who spend q month at Mt.
Vernon and have . Washington caterer
| furnish the food out Of the washing
ton Bones Money" and close the house
to the public while there: and these
facts and more will come out at the
right time. And II Monticello 10 going
to be run on the same plane as Mt.
Vernon let Congress 20 slow. Congress
man Levy deserves credit and the Mt.

CONVENTIONS AND LUNCH COUNTERS

The amenities Of life, the observances and Gus.
toms Of localities Of places are general they
are sometimes unexpected. Even the habituas Of
al.nght eating houses have their freemasonry; their
easy way with each other; the help, the cashier,
and the owner; to distinguish the initiate from the
novice. They know the bill Of fare conventional to
each day Of the week like book" They are ex-
pert at the humor that has an appeal in it for the
mattresses. They may be sometimes quick, but they
are never hurried and they can spot stranger to
their citadel the moment he puts his head inside the
door. To eat we'll and frugally in such a place is
one thing; to eat with the calm ease Of acquired
custom is another. 1t is neither poverty nor cautious
wealth that gives the seal Of sef.assurane to the
patrons Of the place, but the fact that you need its
service and that neither compulsion indiscreton
has made you an interloper.
