TERMS OF REUNION.

OF the two chief essentials TO RepuD-
lican reunion which are proposed ny

may unhesitatingly be said that the!
are fair subjects of consideration. III
deed. both of them have been consld-
cred, one for many years and the other
oyer since II arose. The need OF es-
In blishing new basis OF representa-
tion on account Of the extraordinary
conditions existing in some states mas
been frequently urged. III mas Deeh
urged for representation in Congress
as well as in party conventions. but
ljn the latter case 1t Is more comph-
Gated than in the former. In the
one the question is whether representa-
ton shall be based on population or on
actual polling. while in the other the
additional question arises whether all
the polling or just the Republican vote
cast shall be the basis. There are strong
differences of opinion in the Republican
party on this matter, just as marked
we fancy, as between Republicans ana
Progressiyes, and the subject is GER
tainly one for legitimate discussion.
The other essential is that Of the rec
IGNITION Of the results OF Presidential
preference primaries by the national
convention. That is in sense more
radical than the other, since it might, II
carried to its logical elimination, abol-
ish the convention system altogether. IL
the vote of state for the Presidential
candidacy were to be determined irrev-
ocably by the popular primaries there
would be no use In sending delegates to
a convention. That is the plan which
Governor Wilson has imposed upon the
state Of New Jersey, OF which the first
fruit was the election Of Mr.. MARITIME
10 the United States Senate. There are
some Republicans who favor It, There
are many who prefer TO retain the prin-
ciple of representative government ana
who believe that better results are to
he obtained by electing delegates at
free and fair primaries, and then hay-
ing them come together for delibera-
ton in a national body, than are likely
10 be secured through an arbitrary ref
erendum in each state without regard
10 the others. But this, too, Is sub
ject which is fairly open to considera-
ton in party councils; though in our
opinion a small limit Of expenditure
ought to be rigidly imposed and the
dates Of primary elections brought
near together.
While both topics are highly contro-
versial, neither Of them presents any
difficulties on which 1t should be i'm
possible for rational men either to
agree or at least to reach n'Odus ~
rcndi, and certainly neither Of them,
nor both together, afford sufficient
ia sis for the organization Of new
national party. AS for the rest, 1t goes
without saying that after more than
half century Of continuous progress
the Republican party will continue to
ibe progressive, and that, having been
organized to vindicate the rights OF
man, and having been for more than
fifty years the champion OF free and
fair elections and honest representa-
fion, It will not now forsake those
.princiDles.

WHAT'S IN A BULL MOOSE?
Roosevelt, the Hunter, Scorns his
PARTY Namesake.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Mr.. Roosevelt has not only give"
the Republican party the blow unoer
which Il is now staggering, in return ior
the refusal TO do more for him than INC
country did for Washington or Jenersoh
or 10 do what II fiatly and emphaucaiiy
refused to do for General Grant, out
he now gives notice that his Bull MOOSE
party has come to stay and Is to be reck-
oned with at every subsequent election
In view of the name he has given his
party. II "a a little curious TO recall just
what Mr.. Roosevelt himself thinks OF
the bull moose, TO which he has compared
himself. as I should never have thought
OF doing. His description appears In his
hook. THE wilderness Hunter" Nobody
can dispute the colonel's own description.
and I would like TO see It reproduced IN
The Tribune for the general edihcation.
Here il what Colonel Roosevelt thinks
about the animal he says he felt like and
the name he has given his great national
party:
The bull moose lives on the public do
main and il a very wasteful feeder.
He IL OF a wandering and fighty dis
position. His flesh IT, moreover, coarse
and stringy his hide Is thick.
He frequently shows clumsy sloWness
of apprehension which amounts TO down
right stupidity.
Another noticea BILE characteristic Of the
bull moose IL his inordinate and UNI
chsngea BILE selhshness. Whether roaming
In the woods IN solitude or tearing up
the earth. or coming headlong 10 the call,
he IL thinking first last and all the tlIne
of the safety OF his own skin and the tul-
ness OF his stomach.
Further indications OF the bulrs essen.
tial selfishness are found I'm his frequent
abuse and browbeating OF all other moose
that are smaller than himself. lie can
not tolerate a rival. but flies into zeal
Gus rage al the first suggestion that there
is any other bull moose I'm the universe.
+. the colonel remembers what he mas
written any better than what he mas
said. he must have thought often with
qualm OF his own picture OF the patron
saint OF his own party. VIII the Repub-
leans. on whom he turned when they
would not nominate him for a third term,
take some little pains henceforth 10 keep
him and the country reminded OF his
own opinion OF the bull moose?
NO NATURE FAKER."

DIR NATIONAL PLAGUE.

Another rehearsal Of an old story
was given yesterday in ali authorita-
tive address before the Association OF
Life Insurance Presidents. when Dr.
Mclaughlin, OF the United States Pub
lie Health Service, practically fixed
upon this country the reproach OF hav-
ing in typhoid fever a sort OF national
plague. Perhaps that disease does pre-
vail In other lands as much as here,
but 1t certainly does not In all of them.
and the contrast with some OF them
strongly indicates that IN no country OF
II civilization comparable with our own
is that deadly pestilence anything like
so common as it Is here. The contrast
in typhoid death rates between fifteen
Of the chief cities OF Northern Europe
and fifteen in the United States is hui
initiating to Americans. In the former
the rates range from 1.3 In 100000 in
Edinburgh up to SO In Paris. In the
latter they range from S.S in Cincin-
natl to 5S.7 in Minneapolis. In London
the rate Is 3.3 and In New York 1t Is
11.6 The highest rate In any Of the
fifteen European cities il less than half
the lowest in an American city, while
the highest rate here is more than ten
times as high as the highest rate there.
From another point of view the as
pect is no less discreditable. DR.. Nc
Laughlin declared that "in 1909 there
"were more cases of typhoid fever in
"the United States than there were Of
plague in India, though India's popu-
'lation is two and half times as great
"as ours" Again, in Russia from Jan
uary. 1907. to October. 1911. there were
2S3, 6S4 cases Of Asiatic cholera, includ-

MONEY IN ELECTIONS.

In one of his letters contributed to
the now famous Wilson
Harvey episode, Col Watterson says:
1t is money and not patriotism that
counts in elections" And the Col.
sneers at those who are too angelic
to accept money contributions for
campaign purposes from special and
selfish interests. From his view
point and experience the Colonel no
doubt has good reason for his state
ment. That was the old way of win
ming elections, or the way they were
won the thirty years following the
close of the war between the states.
And unfortunately in some States,
Tennessee among the number, money
still counts most effectively in cleo
tons. Col. Watterson speaks from
The experience of Blocks of Five Dud-
icy when the Presidency was the
stake in 1888 and of the purchase of
the Presidency by Mark Hanna and
the interests in the election in 1896.
Other instances might be cited.
Fortunately of late there has been
decided change of sentiment touch
Ing the use of money in elections.
This sentiment has made itself felt

pie are protesting against making Of
