No American Dreyfus.

Since the great French military scandal
of some years ago. every time an officer
of army or navy in any country is
accused and convicted Of Offenses and
punished his partisans proclaim that he
has been "Dreyfused. This is the cry
now in the case of a naval commissary
steward who has been tried by court
martial on charges relative to the dis
bursement Of stores, convicted and SEN
fenced to FIVE years in prison. His at
torney has appealed to the Secretary of
the Navy. as of course is his right, and in
presenting the appeal declares that the
man was accorded an unfair trial, given
no definite information as to the nature
of the charge and practically condemned
upon an discriminating statement extract
ed from him through duress, solitary con-
finement and threat OF irons. In other
words the case Is carried to higher
court for revision. and Secretary Meyer
will consider II as all other cases involv-
ing the punishment of members of the
naval personnel are considered. If there
has been an unfair trial. If the man has

lines. and Mr.. O'Gorman is first q all
lawyer So If Mr.. Wilson issues tho -
vitation-and he is to be advised to do
so-Mr. O'Gorman will accept. and that
will create a vacancy for which Mr.. Shee-
han will be urged.
Mr. Sheehan is a politician of the con-
ventionaI New York school. but far above
the average in point of ability. He may
be described as the political grandson or
Samuel j. Tilden. That is to say. he is
the political son of David b. Hill. who
was the political son Of MIR. Tilden. And
as Mr.. Hill was the favorite pupil OF
Mr. Tilden Mr.. Sheehan was the favorite
pupil of Mr.. HILL He knows all the
ropes. and pulls them we'll.
If, therefore, Mr.. Sheehan at last real
ICES his ambition, he will enter the Sem
ate in time to participate in the tariff re-
vision by the next Congress. He knows
something about the subject, and twenty
years ago leaned to the side of protec-
ton. In the contest over the speaker
ship of the Fffty-second Congress he
came to Washington and used his influ-
ence with the New York delegation in
favor Of Judge Crisp. who was the con-
candidate. against Mr.
Mills, the tariff-for-revenue-o candi-
date. And probably he still trains with
the conservatives in the matter of GUS
toms duties.
Unlike Mr.. OGorman, Mr.. Sheehan has
given good deal of time to politics. and
in the Senate would rank at once with
his party's managers there. He pos
sesseS a good deal of the German finesse,
plus a knowledge of the law which the
Maryland senator lacked.

0'Gorman and Sheehan.

Until the other day. Judge Alton Il.
Parker and William +. Sheehan were law
partners. with large corporation prac-
tSce. The dissolution of the firm has
created some talk. and part of it-a part
as yet under the rose-relates to the in
coming administration.
IL is stated behind the hand that Mr.
Sheehan has renewed hopes of election to
the Senate. and is 'reeing himself for the
new field He missed two years ago
partly because of upstate opposition in
the legislature. and partly because of the
faintheartedness of Gov. Dix. who SYM
pathized with his candidacy but was
afraid TO aid it.
Beginning in January the situation will
be different at Albany. The democratic
majority in the legislature will be larger
than on the previous occasion. and Gov.
Sulzer will be man of more experience
and courage in politics than Gov Dix.
Hence the suggestion that Mr.. Sheehan
will try again. and this time with fiat
tering prospects of success.
AS the story goes. Mr.. OGormaL is not
enamored of his place in the Senate, and
would favorably consider an invitation to
enter Mr. Wilson'S cabinet as Attorney

At the Helm.

Is Gov. Wilson going to be inclined
as President to try his hand personally
at all the means and methods of trans
portation. as did certain distinguished
predecessor at the White House? 1t is
remembered how Col. Roosevelt made
II almost practice to Chamber into
the locomotive of his special train
while on tour and hold the throttle
for d few miles. TO demonstrate that
he could run the thing as we'll as any
one else. Mr.. Wilson. on his way up
from Bermuda, handled the steering
not eminently successful on the first
attempt, lac proved that he had grit
enough to hold on while the ship was
turkey trotting more or less in the
neighborhood of her course. 1t must
be borne in mind that the President
to-be is an expert biCyclist, something
that no other President has ever been.
y bicyclist is a fairly good steerer in
all circumstances. and this ought to
make the new executive steady in the
handling of the guiding lines of any
craft or vehicle. Will it qualify him
as a trusty helmsman for the ship of
state? Perhaps the bit of experience
on the run from Hamilton to New
York may have given Gov. Wilson a
foretaste of the difficulties of a per
sonally conducted voyage on troubled
waters

Fireproof Santas.

From the Pittsburgh Chronlcle-Teegraph.
There have been so many revelations of
grating and various forms of vice in
New York city that it is pleasing re-
lief TO learn of something being done
there for public and private welfare. This
something is movement having for
it's object the fireprOotinS of the Santa
Claus whiskerS and rament SO freely and
numerOuSly worn in the stores of the
metropolis. These materials, the authOri-
ties insist. must be made nOn-inffamma bic,
for the protection of those in the vicinity
as well as for the wearers of the VIII SIX
ers and costumes. As nearly every COM
munity has Il scorched Santa at one time
or another during Christmas week. it
would be we'll to extend the nOn-infiam-
mable precautionary measures to enter
tainments, both public and private. and
thereby prevent painful injuries and, pos
sibly, fatal panics. of which there have
been so many in the past. And 1t Is a
precaution that should be insisted upon
all over The country. it must be ad-
mitted that for once. at least, New York
CITY has set an example worthy of emu

A Congressional Education.

After continuous service of eighteen
years in Congress. William Sulzer retires
to become Governor of New York. AT a
dinner the other evening he spoke of the
| happiness he had had lin his commission,
and with great appreciation of the men
he had met in congressional life. Is not
a word in order as to the value of his
experience in Washington considered in
connection with the duties he will take
up at Albany?
1t is a certainty that if Gov. Sulzer
scores a success it will be due in large
measure TO the opportunities enjoyed and
improved by Representative Sulzer. We
shall see in that success the fruits Of the
training received here.
Consider. Service in CongressNin either
house-enables a man to study, close up,
both public men and public measures; to
note how the wheels go round; to ap-
praise motives. and performances, and re-
suits. In word. Congress is a school
in which a capable pupil learns much
that cannot be acquired anywhere else,
and which. If he takes service elsewhere,
whether in politics or out, is invaluable
to him.
There are innumerable cases, but that
paratively recent. After a service in the
House-nOt as long, however, as Mr..
Sulzer She became Governor of Ohio, and
in his course in that office showed in his
Judgment of men for appointment and
of measures sent to him by the legislature
the training he had received in Wash
ington. And when in time he was pro-
NOTED from Columbus to this town, he
showed in the White House the value of
the experience he had acquired while a
national legislator. He was one of the
most successful of our Presidents. and
largely because of his knowledge of the
processes of lawmaking, and OF many
of the men engaged in the work. AS the
phrase is, ''he got along with Congress-
admirably.
The proposition that the country would
profit if men after serving as President
were transferred to Congress is not half
so meritorious as would be a proposition
that candidates for President be taken
from the list of men with congressional
experience. In Compassionate or House
"a former President would at most be a
debater, an adviser. His power to apply
what he had learned in the White House
would be very limited.
But transfer a bright man from Con-
gress to the presidency, with the very
large power to apply in the White House
what he had learned in Congress, and the
benefits would show both in his appoint
ments to office and in his approvals or
vetOes of bills sent to him for his sig
nature.
The jokesmiths hold Congress up to
ridicule as a noisy rabble overload of a
talkfest. But it is, on the contrary, for
those qualified for the opportunities af-
forded. an Incompatible training field for
the highest orders of public usefulness.

Whitelaw Reid.

Whitelaw Reid's death is an interna-
tional loss. At his post in London he
was an influence for good beyond the af-
fairs directly intrusted to him. He had
established an exceptional popularity in
circles other than diplomatic. but in that
circle he was held in the highest esteem.
The representatives of all the great pow
ers commissioned to the British capital
were impressed by his personal accom-
plishments as well as by his capacity for
business and became his friends. In this
way he added to the prestige of his coun-
try abroad while adding to his own fame.
American travellers visiting London were
gratified by the regard i'm which he was
held there and heard his praises sounded
elsewhere abroad in terms testifylng to a
wide distribution of the appreciation OF
the man and the diplomat.
As between his own government and
that to which he stood accredited. the ex-
change of cablegrams between President
Taft and King George tells feelingly and
impressively how well he carried himself
in office and how we'll he is entitled now
to the profound regrets felt in both coun-
tries at his passing.
Mr. Reds whole career was another i'll

early thir;ies he was the managing editor
OF the leading republican organ of the
country, and forty years ago succeeded to
full control and has kept the paper since
abreast of the times. and a leading ex-
ponent of the best journalism of the era.
College bred. and thoroughly grounded
in history and politics, Mr. Reid looked at
life both from the viewpoint of the read
ing man and from that of the man of &C
ton. This led him into office when the
time came that he could afford it, and
secured for him recognition commensu-
rate with his high attachments And,

A Tour of Peace.
From the Boston Post.

From the Boston Post
The plans of President Taft, following
his retirement from official life at Wash
ington, as announced, are happily con-
sonant with the dignity of the place which
he holds and with that which falls by
inheritance to our eX-PreSldentS. Ills
acceptancc of the chair of professor at
Yale University is entirely appropriate.
In a yet broader way, the project of a
world tour is admirable. There are prece-
dents for such a period of relaxation.
Gen. Grant made his memorable journey
in the capacity of a military hero as well
as that of an honored administrator. Col
Roosevelt ravaged the wilds of African ter
ritory as mighty hunter picking the
spells of his gun for exhibition in museum
collections. President Taft, as now pro-
posed intends to make the tour of the
world as representative of the purpose of
universal peace which inspires the Amer
lean people.

How lucky is the great machine,
Set up with cunning art.

A flywheel is its heart.
It's stomach is the furnace great;
Its muscles are of steel:
1t does not halt or hesitate:
1t does not think or feel.
Its veins are filled with fluid fire;
1t knows no bliss or pain;
No fierce, unsatisfied desire
Persuades it to complain.
When it is i'll. no nostrums quench
The energy that thrills
A man comes with a monkeywrench
And cures 1t up or kills.
And when it cannot do the tasks
1t has performed for years,
1t seeks the scrap pile and it asks
No sympathy or tears.
