DAYS ago admitted that the nomina
ton of Governor Wilson as Dcmoc-
racy'S Presidential hope was full and
complete Endorsement of Dix progress
siyeness In this state And now Mr..
Jacob 4. Cantor is authority for the
statement that "WilsOn leaders" want
Mayor Gaynor to he a candidate for
the Democratic nomination for Gov
crnOr of New York, when everybody
knows that Governor Dix IS trying to
get a strange hold on the Job for an
other term.
To the extent that Mayor GaynOr is
freer from the domination Of Murphy
than the Governor is. his nomination
would he an advantage TO the Presi-
Dental candidate. If is possible that
he might even get the "highbrOw' or
anti-Murphy Democratic support. But
if Governor Wilson himself feels that
ii is improper for him TO interfere in
matters Of state candidates., as he
has said will it be any more proper
for Wilson leaders" TO interfere on
the ground that the nomination Of
certain man must be brought about in

Governor Dix must be thinking n few

q FOOLISH ATTACK.

Senator Bailey did not get very far
I'm his attack or President Taft for
publicly expressing an opinion on the
Lorlmer case. Nor does the modified
resolution which the Senate adopted
successfully challenge the attitude as
sumed by the President. The doctrine
that only Senators have q right to
concern themselves as to who shall
sit in the Senate will not appeal to
the country. Every American citizen
has q right to be interested in ques-
lions affecting the Senate's member
ship and In charges that 8 seat has
been filed irregularly or corruptiy.
As q citizen and the titular leader
of a political party whose reputation
was likely 10 suffer from the scandals
uncovered in connection with Lori
mer's election President Taft had
every reason TO take a personal inter
est in the case and 10 give advice about
it to any Republicans who sought his
counsel.
1t would have been a great conven-
fence to Lorimer and his supporters to
be able to confine TO the Senate cham
Der all discussion Of the activities Of
the Springfield Jackpot" combination.
If Mr.. Bailey had had his way he would
probably have hailed to the Senate bar
for contempt any outsider who had had
the effrontery to express an opinion Oh
the validity Of Lorimer's title. He
would have published prOclamations In
the newspapers forbidding anybody to
discuss the case until after the Senate
In It's judicial capacity had either white
washed Lorimer or Ousted him. Had
things been managed after his heart
the first vote in Iorlmer's favor would
probably have been so overwhelming

Panama Canal Is being built not by
stock company but by the American
government, on American soil, with
American money, every cent of it, ana
when finished it will be as much the
sole and exclusive property Of this
government as is the Capitol at Wash
ington. The Suez Canal. on the other
hand, was built by a French stock
company as a private venture, upon
Turco-Egyptian soil, with money con-
tributed by stockholders in many couh-
tries. OF the first 100000 shares 2Oo,-
OOO were taken In France, 10000 III
Turkey and 5000 in Egypt, and the
rest in other European countries.
Great Britain took none then, but III
1919 the British government bought
1862 shares. 1t is canal Of inter
national construction and international
ownership.
As TO neutrality and control at Suez,
the question was first raised in the
Egyptian crisis Of 1SSl-S2, at which
time the British military commander
in Egypt arbitrarily suspended all
traffic on the canal for some days.
Nothing definite was done until 1883,
when the convention cited in the Hay
Pauncefote treaty was signed by Great
Britain, France, Germany. Austria
Hungary. Italy, Holland, Spain and
Turkey. 1t "neutralized" the canal.
But Great Britain signed with the
reservation that she would be bound
by the convention only so far as was
compatible with the condition Of Egypt
and with her freedom Of action during
her occupation Of that country. In
other words, Great Britain was to con-
troll the canal at her own will for her
own welfare. Not until 1901 did Great
Britain, as a part Of her entente with
France, accept the Constantinople con-
vention unreservedly. And to-day. as
memories of the Spanish fleet in 1893
and Of the Russian fleet in lg(i-'05 re-
mind us, there is tacit acqulescence in
Great Britain's practically complete
control Of the canal.

GAINS IN FLORIDA.
,ditor OF The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: In your issue of the 18th instant
I notice that your subscriber under the
heading Good Prospects In Florida"
thinks that Florida may return to the
Republican column. wish to concur In
the writer's statement. which seems rea-
scnable, with all the compliments that
are expressed for Mr. Taft's adminstra
ton. BY popular vote this state never
seeded from the Union. Its secession
was caused by delegates elected 10 the
secession convention. pledged against Sc
cession. with a promise from them that
they would sever their right arms before
voting secession for Florida. Had the
leading sentiment OF Florida been fol-
lowed and no negro ever been appointed
TO federal Office to rule over white people,
our state would have remained In the old
line. The Republican gains can also DO
attributed to the withdrawal OF the negro
from politics In Florida in the last few
years. Yours for Taft's success.

A CLEANUP NEEDED.

Out of the murder Of Rosenthal
should come a thorough cleaning-up
Of the police force. There must be an
end TO the possibility Of crooked men
remaining in the department, laughing
Mt the work Of honest commissioners
and defying the public to break the
alliance between themselves and the
criminals. Given real power, almost
any one Of the commissioners whom
the city has had in recent years could
have broken up the system and
made the protection Of vice precarious
work. There has never been such 4
cleanup as is needed. The LeXOw in
vestigatlon revealed wholesale corrup-
ton, yet the law is such that only a
few dismissals followed and some Of
the men who were dismissed were sub
sequently restored by the courts. II
was a powerful demonstration to the
corrupt men on the force that they
were safe. Not even the most success
ful legislative investigation In the his
tory Of the city endangered their
positions.
And the city had to go on with 4
force rotten at the core. 1t knew that
corruption was widespread, yet the
to put honest men at the head Of the
department. The situation was pre-
posterOus. In no organization that was
full Of corruption could much be ac-
copplished by merely changing the
men at the head. 1t Is this inability
Of the public to get rid Of its unfaith-
full servants without producing evil
dence against them which will stand
in a court Of law that has fastened
upon the city that alliance between
the police and the vicious and criminal
elements which is illuminated again by
the murder Of the gambler who was
disclosing the alliance and the escape
Of the murderers from the midst Of
officers, none Of whom even drew a
pistol to prevent the flight
1t will only be by making the jobs
Of policemen insecure that the "syS-
TEN" can be made insecure. If the
Commissioner could dismiss any mem
Der Of the department on the moral
certainty that he was crook, any
honest and intelligent Commissioner
could strike a blow at the evil in
the department that would be long
remembered. AS It IS, after watching
for a time with Impotence the noun-
dering efforts Of one honest, impotent
man at the head Of the department the
public replaces him with another hon
est impotent. Doubtless the process
will soon be repeated, and the crooks
on the force, upon whose sacred jobs
no one may lay an impious finger, are
hardly diminished IN numbers. \

as to make reopening Of the inquiry
out Of the question.
Fortunately. the Senate cannot en-
force Il decree which muzZles the free

voters. who create Senators, reserve
the right to criticisc them and their
actions, and they have made so clear
their disapproyal Of the first decision
i'm The Lorlmer case as to change a vote
in 1911 in Lorimers favor Of A to 40
to a vote in 1912 of - TO D against
him. Public opinion has driven the
Senate to reverse itself. Mr.. Bailey
naturally condemns that pressure as
"oGicious and meddlesome." But near
ly everybody else considers it neces-
Sary and wholesome.
Mr.. Tafts influence was enlisted
from the first on the side Of those who
were eager to rebuke the corruption
with which LOrimer's election was
tainted The Presidents publication
Of his views may have embarrassed the
inner circle in the Senate which was

PANAMA AND sUEZ.

The example Of Suez Is frequently
cited In connection with Panama. It
IS said that the latter canal must be
treated in all respects precisely like
the former, because the Uay-Paunce-
fote treaty says so, and that therefore
the United States must not presume
to exercise auy exclusive control over
the waterway. In reply to such idle
contentious it may be said plumply
that the Hay-Pauncefote treaty does
not say this; that there are radical
differences between Suez and Panama
which forbid identity Of treatment, and
that the example OF Suez does not,
after all, forbid exclusive control Of
the Panama Canal by the United
States.
What the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
does say is that "the United States
adopts as the basis Of the neHirdlizG-
"fion Of such ship canal the following
"rules substantially as embodied in the
convention Of COnstantipople." Note
that the Suez rules are not 10 be the
whole thing, but merely the basis on
which the United States at its own
pleasure may build UP such a system
as may be pleasing to it; provided, Of
course, that it remains congruous with
the basis. Note, too, that the Suez
rules apply merely 10 the neutraliza-
ton Of the canal and not to the control
of It in other respects.
As for the differences between the
two canals, they are greater diplo-
matically, financially and in other re-
gpects than they are from an engineer
Ing, a typographical or geographical
point of view. We all know that the
