should be abolished has aroused the mem
bers Of that service TO state Of intense
excitement and some OF their friends to
resentment. IL is probable, however. that
these people are taking the Presidents
recommendation too seriously. 1t is
fact that there is growing up under the
government group of/marine services be-
ginning with the navy and including the
revenue cutter. the lighthouse, the Geodetic
Survey. the army transport service. the
Fish Commission service and others, each
OF which maintains, a fleet" The Presi-
dents suggestion Is certain to bring this
situation to the attention Of Congress and
~ the national legislature gives the sub
ject the consideration IT deserves It will
probably find way to combine the duties
Of these several services so that IL will not
be necessary TO maintain more than two
fleets" The suggestion is made that quite
possibly the best solution will be found in
retaining the revenue cutter service and
dividing between II and the navy all the
work which is now distributed among the
several fleets. AS has been pointed out
by the Economy and Efficiency Board, the
necessity Of maintaining the revenue cut
ter service to suppress wholesale SNUG
Cling has largely passed, although it is
not entirely clear that II would remain so
~ the service which suppressed 1t were
abolished. on the other hand, the work
which the revenue cutter service is doing
In saving lives Is OF constantly increasing
importance. This service has not only an
excellent fleet but a trained personnel, and
whatever nomenclature may he ultimately
favored IL seems highly improbable that
these will be allowed to 60 TO waste. The
Economy ard Efficiency Board report does
not go into detail regarding its views on this
point. but subsequent report on the sub
ject Is promised. and il will certainly be
time enough to indulge in hysteria when ell
its facts are known.

TRIBUTE TO HEYBURN.-The unan-
imous report OF the subcommittee OF the
Senate Committee on Privileges and Elec-
tons generating Senator Stephenson is
decided tribute to Senator >Heyburn, OF
Idaho. The choleric Senator from Idaho
frequently makes himself the target for
good natured fun. especially as. 10
his somewhat hasty temper he has
total deficiency OF humor. but there Is no
gainsaying the fact that he did admirable
work as. chairman OF the subcommittee
charged with the investigation Of the Ste
phenson election. In his conduct Of that
investigation his methods were at vide
variance with those ordinarily pursued by
the chairmen Of committees intrusted with
similar tasks From the first he manifest
ed a determination TO get at the facts. Wit
nesses favorable TO Senator Stephenson re-
ceived no more considerate treatment from
the Senator from Idaho than those opposed
TO the Wisconsin Senator From beginning
TO end OF the investigation Mr.. Hepburn
manifested his appreciation OF the respon-
slbility which rested on him and his com
mittee, and no sooner had the inVesusa-
ton begun than all who were watching us
proceedings were impressed with the fact
that il was being conducted with abso-
Lutte fairness to all concerned. There we're
many persons in Wisconsin who had been
rnisled by the representations OF La Toilette
and his faction, and who actually believed
that the election of Senator Stephenson had
been corrupt but even these admitted with
in o few days after the investigation began
that Senator Reyburn's methods were well
calculated to develop the truth. and many
OF them announced that. whatever might he

dence in the findings Of the subcommittee.
II is now admitted that the Senate Is TO

"BARKIS" CUMMINS-The decision Of
Senator Cummns TO enter the arena as
Presidential candidate can prove no sur
prise to the readers of The Tribune, who
we're apprised OF Mr.. Cummins's intention
as long ago as September 3d. 1911. Two days
before that date the Iowa Senator had con-
fded TO certain intimates in Des Moines
that. while he was actually much more
radical than Bob La Toilette" he did not
want that fact TO become known, because
he was convinced La Toilette was too radi.
cal to command the support OF a majority
OF the Republican convention. that Presi-
dent Taft was too conservative and that
as the result OF a deadlock between the
followers Of the two the lightning was
pretty certain to strike Iowas favorite son,
provided the Iowa delegation were instruct
ed TO stand pat for Cummins. This CONVEX
sation | related in a dispatch from Des
Moines under date OF September %. Mr..
Cummins has never changed his purpose,
and has secretly rejoiced as he saw his pre-
diction regarding La Toilette gradually full
filled. From the point OF view Of the sup
porters Of the administration. the an
nouncement Of Mr.. Cumminss candidacy
is important only as demonstrating the fu-
tility OF the La Toilette movement and as
conclusive evidence OF that disintegration
which always attacks such artificial and
nsincere movements as the insurgent eff
fort TO prevent the denomination Of Mr..
Taft Incidentally, moreover. II proves the
accuracy OF the statement often made in
this column. and sometimes bitterly OBJ
jected to by the insurgents, that the in
surgent movement, In the Senate. at least,
was purely the effort OF a group OF men
actuated by nothing hut personal ambition.

proper spirit OF insurgency against Can
