TANNING THE MooSES.

The wild bull mooses Of the great
New Jersey mOOseyard seem to be
growing distinctly tanner; the fierce
snortings and bellowlngs OF last week
are dying away. Bull Moose Osborne
alone displays a recalcitrant spirit, de-
claring that, while Bull Moose Whiting
was not elected national committeeman
because nobody supposed he wanted the
pace, still he would have been rejected
any way. even If he had been a candi-
date-a fine gem of moose logic OF the
Essex County brand But even he
shows also traces Of q conciliatory dis
position in the modest announcement
that ne does not want the state chair
manship, but will take it If ii Is offered
TO him.
Bull Moose Cqlby is ready to exon
crate his colleagues from the charges
which, he himself made against them,
Of being q coordination" for dishon-
Orable purposes and OF stealing the ma
tional committeeman. In order to
meet him half way in this amiable pur-
pose, Bull Moose Fort says that he will
not accept the office Of national COM
mitteeman; in effect, that he will not
become the receiver Of stolen goods

A HARD PATH.

Ii Is hard enough for an eX.cOnvict
TO live an honest life If he tells the
truth about himself. 1t may be equal
ly hard if he doesn't, as the expert
ence of William Burke. Councilman Of
Philadelphia. shows. Burke has just
resigned his office and disappeared
from town. He said he was an eX-con-
vict and old pals" were blackmHiling
him under threat Of exposure until be
became desperate His story is one Of
hardship in youth crime in maturity
until he was caught and had time
enough in prison to figure out that
honesty was the best policy. He
learned furniture making In prison,
and when he was released got Jobs
which enabled him 70 live honestly.
He married and had daughter. Then
he entered politics and was elected to
the Councils on the Keystone ticket In
O reform campaign. Soon after he was
recognized by another ex-convict, and
the blackmailing process began.
Burke thinks It would have been all
right If lie had told everybody in the
beginning that he was jailbird. 1t
wouldn't have been. BE might never
have obtained his first honest work
and so been forced into crime again.
Scores Of convicts are. He surely
wouldn't have been elected to public
office if his record had been known,
no matter how honestly he was living
at that time. The public may want
some Of It's servants in Jail, but it
doesn't want for It's servant a man
who has been in Jail. Burke declares
he will come back and make good
yet" He should. Blackmailers should
not be suffered to put him down. His
constituents ought TO insist that his
resignation be not accepted and that he
serve out his term as Councilman.

PANAMA AND THE COURTS.

Mr.. Bunau-Varilla may be al author
ity on engineering and canal negotia-
tons. but he is not an authority on
American constitutional law, if dis
patches correctly report his views con-
cerning Panama tolls. He is said TO
believe that in the event of any dis
elimination in favor Of American ship
ping which violates the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty owners of foreign ships
would be able 10 recover by appealing
10 the Supreme Court
Nothing, however, Is better settled
than that q treaty. though 1.-THE law OF
the land" is merely the law OF the
land on the same footing as any stat
ute law, and can, so far as the judicial
process of the United States goes, he
superseded by subsequent statute
That question was tested in relation to
Chinese exclusion. Congress passed
laws depriving Chinese subjects Of
rights Of entry which they enjoyed un-
der an earlier treaty. The supreme
Court held in what is known as the
First Chinese Exclusion Case that the
law must be obeyed. and declared:
So far as n treaty made by the
United states with any foreign power
can become the subject Of judicial cog
niZance in the courts Of this country, II
is subject.t to such acts as Congress may
pass for its enforcement, modification
or appeal lSiC Tepeal1-
The same doctrine has been set forth
in many other cases. holding that tho
question Of treaty violation is diplo-
matte or political, not judicial. In
Whitney agt. Robertson. involving al
legged violation Of tariff treaty with
the Dominican Republic. Justice Field
said:
If the country with which the treaty
is made Is dissatisfied with the action
of the legislative department, il may
present its complaint to the executive
head Of the government and take such
other measures as it may deem essen
tial for the protection Of its interests.
The courts can afford no redress.
Whether the complaining nation has
just cause OF complaint or our country
w tS JuSllicO III It's 6SloldlIuIl are lIpl
matters for judicial cognizance.
Thus It Is plain that the questions
which may be precipitated by any IN
wise or dishonerable Panama lcglsla-
tiOn cannot be saddled off on the SUI
preme Court. If this country violates
its international obligations il has
nothing to do but face its difficulties I'm
the field Of international politics. The
political department Of the government
cannot escape its obligation 70 do right
or the burden Of extrcatlng the coun-
try from the embarrassment II it does
wrong. That fact ought to have So
bering effect on the lawmaking pow
ers. If they plunge recklessly or self
ishly into a policy involving interna-
tional reprOach, i'll will or retaliation
they will have nobody but themselves
TO blame and nobody but themselves
TO rely on.

JUSTICE ON ITS METTLE.

4 prompt trial in the police graft
cases is insured by Governor Dixs ap-
pointment Of Justice Goff to hold an
extraordinary term of the Supreme
Court next month. A prompt trial is
indispensable The public should strike
while the iron is hot. No time should
be given for the system" and the
underworld TO patch up their fences.
No opportunity should exist for the
reaching OF the witnesses upon whom
the state relies. Counsel for Becker
ieeringly alludes to the failure Of the
state to punish the police after the
Lexow investigation. No such gro
tesque anti-elimaX must be permitted
this time. The capacity of the city. to
protect itself from the lawless is on
trial. If 1t shall 60 forth that a wit
ness who Is about TO aid the state by
giving evidence against criminals may
be struck down with impunity by the
lawless classes whom his story endan-
gers, then law enforcement might as
we'll be abandoned. New York must
teach the lesson that 1t is stronger than
any combination Of crooks and police
grafters, with their gangs Of hired as
sassins, and 1t must teach it with a
swiftness that commands respect.
Justice Golf, who has been named to
conduct the trials, Is one of our most
experienced and courageous criminal
Judges. He has special fitness for these
