A FEAR OF DEMOCRACY
A Few Reasons Why Wilson's Elec-
ton Would Be Suicidal.

| TO the Editor OF The Tribune.
/ Sir: Jacob Schiff says a vote for Taft
is vote for Roosevelt, and the Progress
siyes say n vote for Taft is vote for
/ Wilson. According 20 that, votes for VII

Jersey? At the last Presidential election

OF his party that 'he Is not known He

his nomination as the one man who would
out-radcal Roosevelt
As for the opposition generally, II has
not forgotten the financial depression dur
ing the last Democratic administration.

he was. could not control the idiosyncra-
sizes OF his party.

Congress, since December last, We have

his inmost soul that protective duties
wrong everybody whom they affect, why
is he so anxious at times TO give the I'M
preston that be has no desire to upset
what he considers the unrelievedly VI
cious protective system? Why does lie
talk about there being no place in this
country for the free trader and say that
il is foolish TO expect TO see protection
abandoned within a lifetime? He re-
marked in his speech of acceptance:
We do not ignore the fact that the
business Of Il country like ours Is eX-
ceedingly sensitive to changes in legis-
lation of this kind tariff changesl. II
has been built up, however ill-advised-
", upon tariff schedules, written In the
way | have indicated, and its founda-
ton must not be too radically and sud
denly disturbed.
But if the protective system Is all
wrong, cramping the country, hamper
ing the manufacturer and injuring the
worker; if the structure is rotten and
the foundation insecure, why shouldn't
the whole ediflCe he torn down? If the
country would benefit by free trade,
why not try to put it on a free trade
basis as soon as possiblef We cannot
reconcile Governor Wilson's deep con-
viction of the shame and horror Of pro-
lection with his weakened profession
Of willingness TO allow that shame and
horror to continue to weigh lis down
for another generation. Like Orator
Puff, Mr.. Wilson appears to have two
voices. The attractions Of the Chamber
Of Horrors would be enlarged if a
speaking wax figure Of the Democratic
candidate for President should be pro-
vided, talking free trade one hour In
the manner Of Champ Clark and con-
tinued protection the next hour in the
manner of Jim" Smith.

A TEST DESIRABLE.

The chairman Of the Board Of Flee
tons, Mr.. Britt, raises a number Of
practical difficulties in the way Of
making the school buildings polling
places, such as, for example, the re-
duirement that the rolls be kept in
the polling places, open for inspection.
Whether our overcrowded schools can
afford space where the enrolment
books might be kept accessible to the
public f. a question which might be
settled by the Board Of Education,
the chairman Of whose committee on
the wider use Of school buildings IA
vors test Of the plan to use them as
polling places. IF the Board Of Edu-
cation and the Board Of Elections can
agree upon the terms it would be well
to make the experiment this year In
some cases.
Foreign cities DO their voting IN
schools and other public buildings, and
the practice has many things to COM
mend 1t. Such places are cleaner,
more commodious and better vend-
lated than the shops now designated
for that purpose are likely to be.
Moreover. there would be some econ
omy in the plan. But for any ex-
tensive employment Of school build
ings for this purpose It will probably
be necessary to await the future, when
school buildings are likely to be de-
signed with an idea TO their use for
variety of public purposes in the
hours when the schools are not in ses-
ell

PICTURES OR SCHOOLS.

Justice Delany agrees with Mayor
Gaynor that the place for moving pict'
ure show is not next door to a school-
house and upholds his refusal to grant
license for one in East 42d street,
not only adjoining a public school, but
directly across the street from ST
Bartholomew parish house. Protests
against the licensing Of that establish
ment had been filed by members or the
Board of Education. parents of children
attending the school and residents OF
the vicinity. though OF course others
favored it,
There cannot reasonably be as strong
objection to moving picture shows
being near a schoolhouse as there is 10
a saloon in the vicinity. 1t need not,
of course. be detrimental TO the morals
of the school children. But It Is likely
10 prove n nuisance TO the school au'
thorities and subversive Of school dis
cipline. It would be remarkable
school. with unusual teachers and ex-
traordinary pupils. If the juxtaposition
of schoolhouse and playhouse did not
tend to demoraliZe school routine and
Danish studious thoughts. These con-
siderations unquestionably entered into
the Mayors original decision and JUS
tice Delany's concurrence in his judg-
ment. Both merit approval. The NOV
ing picture place, properly conducted,
may furnish pleasant recreation or
profitable instruction for children, but
1t should not be permitted to offer
either so near a schoolhouse as TO be-
come a practical competitor.

SOVEREIGNTY AT PANAMA.

Theoretically and literally Mr.. Luz
Glen Wolf is right In asserting that the
United States is not sovereign in the
Canal Zone, but possesses merely such
sovereignty as is delegated to it by the
actual sovereign, Panama. He does
not seem to be right, however, IN his
deduction that the authority Of the
United States is thus limited or quail
fed. that Panaman treaties are still In
force in the Zone and that the two sig
natories Of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
have complete parity Of privileges
under that instrument.
IL must be observed that Panama's
delegation of sovereignty to the United
States Is complete and perpetual. She
gives to this country as perfect power
and authority over the Zone as though
Il were the owner and sovereign Of it,
and she renounces for hersen every
shred Of sovereignty so far as any
exercise Of rights, power or authority
is concerned In view Of that, it IS
difficult to see how any former treaty
which Panama or Colombia before her
may have made has any bearing now
upon the Canal Zone.
1t Is also true that when the Hay
Pauncefote treaty was made the
United States had not acquired the
Canal Zone, and had not even decided
whether the canal should be construct
ed at Panama or at Nicaragua. But
that point is Of no Importance, because
the treaty is by its own terms made
applicable TO the canal and its APP
purtenant territory "by whatever route
may be considered expedlent' More
