SPAIN AND PORTUGAL.

The Straining Of relations between
Spain and Portugal over the conduct
and treatment Of Portuguese reyolu-
ti0nists IN the Spanish borderlaud has
long been expected. Much, however,
,anust be granted to the impulsive and
sensitive Latin temperament, and too
much weight should not be given to the
. first somewhat excited utterances on
either side.
The situation seems to be that a
o group Of Portuguese royalists some
time ago found Judgement in Spain,
there plotted a revolution and restO-
ration and are now returning to Portu-
gal with bolligerent purposes. Portugal
thinks that Spain ought TO restrain
them, and Spain replies that she will
:. not do so unless Portugal defrays the
cost; at which Portugal is incensed
over what she regards as SPANS indif-
. ference to the obligations Of neutrality.
Since the revOlutioniSts are not rec
ognized as belligerents the question is
not 50 much one Of neutrality In the
common meaning Of the term as Of p0-
lice service There can be no doubt
that Spain is bound morally and le-
gally. to prevent her own subjects from
invading or disturbing her neighbor ;
but il does not appear that they are at
tempting to do that. She is also bound
to restrain, at her own cost any Portu-
guese to whom she may give asylum
from using her territory as a base Of
operations against their own country (;
and it Is the fulflment of that obliga-
ton which Portugal now reasonably
demands.
Moreover, it would probably be to
SPANS own interest 10 play a neigh
borly part, even at some little expense
10 herself. 1t is true that from one
point Of view she might sympathize
with the Portuguese royalists and'wlsh
them success in overthrowing the re-
public, lest the established success Of
the republic IA Portugal should encour-
ago republicans in Spain to renewed

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
wApswoaTH FOR GOVERNOR.

TO the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: James w WadsWorth, 1r., seeing
to be the logical candidate of the regular
Republicans in this state for Governor. lie
has said he would like the nomination. ana
there are many reasons why he should
have Il. In tho present rather chaotlc
condition of things political he woulu suit
the men in control Of the party better anu
they. would suit him better. than wouiu
be the case with any other candidate al
all likely to get the Republican nominal
ton. lie would poll the regular or ma
chine" vote, and would be more likely 70
take away some Of the Progressive vote
from the new third party than anybody
else now In the field. He Is young ana
has a very attractive personality. HIS
record as Speaker OF the legislature not
yithstanding his fight against Governor
Hughes on direct nominations ana Kim
bred Hughes reforms, was on the wnoie
excellent Ito has q political creed ana
a political code, and whether or not tney
happen to coincide with the publlcs Ideas
at a particular moment, he Is not AFRAID
to stand up for his beliefs
Mr.. Wadsworth is not spectacular re-
former. nor was he a spectacular punhc
official He broke away from Governor
Hughes on tho direct nominations ISSUE
but before that time, in his first year as
Sneaker. no had smashed the Nixon ma
chine IN the Assembly and cleaned housa
there. lie IS not given to advocating nam
ing methods for remaking the political ana
economic worlds. II is unlikely that the
statement Of principles he made IN an
nouncing his candidacy will strike nre IN
single human anatomy. II Is very llkeiy
to be considered a sensible and practlcal
political programme, the accomplishment
OF which would better conditions ma
terlally. In his short political career MI
Wadsworth has had tho peculiar expert
cnce OF believing himself on his record 70
be on the very crest OF tho reform wave
and then finding himself stranded in tn
baclSvaters and the wave Of progress
sweeping far ahead. Now. In campaign
where the main issue will DO 20 declde
iust what constitutes real progress he be-
comes logically. on principles and record

compact cities where the residents
mostly own their own houses is absent
here. and it is hard to stir up tenants
of the tenements to clean somebody

people, however shiftless, who would
prefer to live in squalor if they mad

ought to show landlords and tenants
alike the advantages Of little effort

To tho Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: There is q certain Democratic

gives plenty Of space and time In us
editorials about the one-sde disafrection

majority OF readers might contain many
Republicans who read II also, and jump
over TO the bull moose, against its horns

What lovely time II such influence

activity. But a broader and saner
view would impel the Spanish govern
ment to stand for law and order and
constitutional authority, realizing that
the success Of a revolutionary move
meut, even though il be for a royalist
restoration, would be far more menac-
ing than the maintenance Of the re-
publican government.

HOPE FOR TARIFF BOARD.

The refusal Of the Senate to assist
the House Of Representatives in starr-
ing out the Tariff Board shows that
there is still some hope Of preserving
an agency of high public utility, ere
ated with the laudable purpose Of
taking the question OF tariff revision
as far as possible out of petty partl-
san politics. The Democrat tic majority
in the House Of Representatives is still
governed by the traditions Of the dark
lantern" school of reviSers. The tari1
bills which It has passed since the be-
ginning Of the present Congress have
been perfect models Of Old style, slap
dash. haphazard buugling with the
schedules for political effect. The bills
we're prepared in private by unknown
advisers of the majority Of the Ways
and Means Committee They followed
no rational system Of taxation, and
one measure has been absolutely lrrec-
oncilable i'm theory with another After
taxing wool, because the Treasury was
supposed to need the moderate amount
Of revenue derived therefrom, Mr.. I'm
derwood untaxed sugar, which brings
In vastly more revenue, because the
needs OF the Treasury were declared
TO be secondary Ia Importance to cheap
ening the price Of sugar to the do
nestle consumer.
The Tariff Board has been q thorn
in the side Of the Democratic majority
in the House, inasmuch rs Mr. Under
wood and his associates have not want
ed to be guided by knowledge or logic
I'm revising duties. They were irritated
because the material supplied by the
board exposed the ignorance and petty
. craftsmanship Of the lOg-roling meas
llrcs Of the House The Senate does
not share the narrow views of the
House. and some Of the Democratic
Senators are still willing TO subscribe
10 the idea that IN regulating tariff
duties it is lust as advisable TO be
guided ny impartial investigation and
scientific methods as in regulating the
operations Of interstate commerce.
The country would not like to see in
experienced amateurs like Mr.. Under
wood prescribing railroad rates, and it
is to the credit of the Senate that it
~toutIy resists the effort Of the House
20 abolish the federal instrumentality
which now stands In the way Of polit-
ical jugglery with tariff duties,
The creation Of a Tariff Board was
one Of the most substantial achieve
ments Of President Tafts administra-
ton. It was long step forward tow
ard the elimination Of ignorance and
favoritism in tariff legislation. The
board has had the hearty support Of
those who think that the time has
come 10 put tariffs on a Just and sden-
tific basis. It looked for a time as If
the reactlonary scheming Of Messrs.
Clark and Underwood would result I'm
. killing The board and leaving the way
open again for incompetent and parti-
san manipulation Of the schedules
The vote In the Senate reviyes conf
dcnce that the great gain IN efficiency
made when the board was created will
not be lightly surrendered After the
. country's experience with the beneficial
work Of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission it would be a piece Of Bour-
bonish stupidity 10 do away with an
agency of almost equal promise like
the Tariff Board
