TIE SELFISHNESS OF AMBITION.

The confirmation by "Harper's Week

requested its editor, Colonel George

supporting him, on the ground that such
support might hurt his chances Of get
ting the Democratic nomination for the
Presidency. is likely to OverclOud his
prospects The incident reveals in the
sharpest light the New Jersey Cover
nor's anxiety to reach the Presidency.
All along discerning persons have seen
in his public pOSturing. his changes OF
conviction. his taking up with new doc
trineS that seemed to be popular and
his reversal of position with regard to
Mr.. Bryan nothing but scheming to
obtain the nomination. Now he Is
shown as willing to wound an intimate
faithful and hitherto useful friend in
order to remove a fanCied obstacle to
the success of his ambition.
Colonel Harvey was the discOvereE Of
Governor Wilson politically Before
any one else had thought Of him other
wise tDan as ScHOIdIlN ItCiuSt at
Princeton the editor Of "Harpers
Weekly" began to sound his praises and
urge upon the Democratic party the
consideration Of his virtues as pos
sible Democratic candidate. Colonel
! Harvey caused him TO be mentioned.
/ though not very seriously, perhaps, for
! the Democratic nomination for the
| Presidency in 1908. This so far served
| TO bring DR.. Wilson TO public attention
that by persiSting in keeping his name
/ on the editorial page of "Harpers
! Weekly" Colonel Harvey was able TO
make him the Democratic candidate for
Governor of New Jersey two years
later. Since his election the editors
assiduity in his interest has been un-
abated, but this support has been
thought embarrassing only since Gov

of the West. Are friends as well AS

Indications Are That
Democrats Will Pass
General Tariff Bill

With an extra session of Congress
next spring seemingly assured. specu-
lation has turned to the question of
what sort of tariff legislation the
Democrats are going to attempt.
A number of the Democratic leaders
are in favor of passing general tariff
bill. Instead of trying the revision of
separate schedules. Indications point
to revision by the process of passing
Il general bill
If the Democrats attempt the pas
sage of general bill, there Is not
much doubt they will get into trouble
before they are through because OF
the disposition Of members interested
in certain schedules to log roll and to
trade and decker with each other to
prevent heavy reductions.
The plan Of schedule by schedule re-
vision was originally proposed by the
progressive Republicans in Congress.
and It was proposed because its ad-
vocates took the view that In no 9TH
er way was 1t possible to prevent log
rolling. They compelled attempts at
revision of separate schedules In the
standpatters. Senators Cummins. La
Toilette. Clapp. Brstow. and other
Progress!ves were pioneers in the plan
OF taking up the schedules one by one
and thus overhauling them.
1t is probable that II the Democrats
undertake to pass a general bill, they
will find themselves In the same diff
Guilty they got into in the last Cleve-
land Admin Istration;, when the tariff
bill. was Gormanized in the Senate.
The excuse given for trying to pass a
general bill IL that 1t will save time
to revise the tariff in this manner.

TEACHERS PRAISE
LIFE AND WORK Of
LATE IDA N. DAILY
Resolutions Pay High Trib-
ute to Dead School
Instructor.

Resolutions regarding the life and
work OF the late Ida M. DAILY. the
teacher In Mckinley Manual Training
and Eastern High Schools, who died re-
Gently. have been adopted at a special
memorial meeting OF the Washington
High School Teachers Association. The
resolutions call attention to the fact
that Miss DAILY was to have been ad-
mitted to the bar of the Supreme
Court of the United States on the day
or her death. Another paragraph says.
Miss DAILY was foremost In educa-
tonal reforms. especially those which
obtained for the teachers of Washing
ton; the provisions of the salary bill of
1906, the longevity and placing clauses
In the bills OF 1910 and of 1912: an

the founders of the Washington High

her constant. unselfish. impersonal ef-
forts to advance the cause OF true
education and the influence OF the teach

CAPITAL SATISFIED
EXTRA SESSION IS
T0BE HELD EARLY
Governor Wilson Favors I'M
mediate Fulfllment of
Tariff Pledges.

Washington has finally settled down
to the belief that Congress will be called
to meet In extra session next spring.
shortly after the new President takes
his seat.
Governor Wilson himself has not pub
licly announced an extra session. but
he has declared a purpose to fulfll tariff
and other pledges, and this Is taken as
an intimation he expects to call an ex-
ira session.
Moreover. from leading Democrats,
utterances are coming Of a nature that
indicates they expect an extra session.
Leader Underwood has committed him
self thoroughly to the extra session
idea. So have a number OF the closest
political friends Of Governor Wilson.
Senator Martin of Virginia, Demo-
cratic leader of the Senate. Is out in a
statement favoring an early lession.
II believe that the pledges of a party
should be absolutely carried out" said
Senator Martin. II can see no rea son
why the performance of the promises
OF party should be delayed nine
months"
Senator Martin insisted there would
be harmony and cooperation among
the Democrats OF the Senate, and that
they would be able to legislate without
the aid of the Progressive Republicans.
Opinions vary as to just what legisla-
tion should be undertaken at the extra
session. Some of the Democratic lead
ers think both the tariff and the trust
problems should be tackled and disposed
of. Others believe the tariff should be
taken up and disposed of. and the other
