Stool Pigeon Work in New York.

The New York police situation continues
TO offer interesting aergles of view to the

afforded by the outbreak of Lieut. Beck

in the Tombs. against a fellow-prisoner
who had given the district attorney an
affidavit regarding conversation he had
heard between Becker and two of his de-
tectiyes. Becker denounced the informer

cfared by the Havana press that this
was an insult and a reflection upon the
fact. Gibson's insstence upon currency
was due. to the apprehension OF the con-
tractor for whom the claim had been
collected lest suit might be entered
against him Immediately upon the de-
livery of the check and before it could be
cashed, inasmuch as there are certain
countercIaims involved In which the

have cleared the skirts of the Cuban gov

Wilson. Marshall and Bryan

The New York Tribune would be glad
to hear from Gov. Marshall about a
second term in the White House. against
which the Baltimore Platform declares.
Would 1t be advisable for him to speak at
this time?
In the first place Mr. Wilson has not
yet referred to the subject. He should
take the lead. He is more directly in In
terest than his yokemate His silence may
or may not signify approval Of the con-
vention's deliverance on that point. He
may find his voice about 1t before election
day. Or he may decide to leave the mat
ter to time.
In the second place, were he to speak
now in favor Of a single presidential
term, Gov. Marshall might lay himself
open to the charge of announcing his own
candidacy for first place four years hence
He is comparatively a young man. His
friends rate him as OF presidential size
He has taken the stump, and the country
will now have opportunity to appraise
him. He speaks well. in breezy and un-
conventional way, and is regarded at
home as a capital mixer.
If Wilson and Marshall win In Novem-
Der. and sentiment in favor of a single
trolls the democratic party, why should not
the Indiana man be strong in the race for
the nomination for President in 1915? His
nomination would knock precedent Into
cooked hat" as Mr.. Wilson would say
But precedent often suffers that fate
these times. Look at Mr.. Bryan's three
nominations for President. Look at Mr.
Roosevelt's nomination and election in
1904 And look at Mr.. Roosevelts NOM
nation for a third term. All against
precedent.
But, regardless of whether Mr. Wilson
does or does not take a stand on this
matter before November, or later If he is
elected. fate will shape the course. All
arguments so far advanced against a
second term are unconvincing. With but
one exception, all second terms in the
White House have reflected credit on
those who served them, and conferred
benefits on the country. And the chances
are that If Mr.. Wilson gets first term
and c~rries himself well in office, he will
desire and receive denomination.
1t has been charged that Mr.; Bryan,
who drew the Baltimore platform, had his
own case in view when he inserted the
plank against second term. The charge
NAV be true He will not be too old for
another try in 1916. But If Mr.. Wilson is
barred then. Mr.. Bryan may encounter
Gov. Marshall with others in what will
be a strenuous contest for the democratic
Leadership that year. And Champ Clark
will not be too old to enter.

The Nodder.

Col. Roosevelts confidence in his ability
to force conviction by means of his own
unsupported assertions is evidently wan
ing. He is now carrying around with him
on the stump an affirmer of his truth
The news dispatches thus describe the
working Of the system:
".Mr. Garfield will tell you at the very
time the Standard Oil contribution was
offered 10 help along my 1904 campaign
we had taken the preliminary steps in
our prosecution against that corporation.
Roosevelt exclaimed to the crowds q,
BENNINGTON and other stops.
Turning to Garfield. he asked expect
antly:
Isn't that so, Garfield?'
'"The former cabinet member, taking
the cue would nod his head affirmatively
And we went straight ahead with it.,
Roosevelt went on triumphantly.
~ never allowed myself to be gov
erned by any malign influence. Mr.. Gar
field will tell you So

happen if Garfield should suddenly de
yelop a crick in the neck.

year ago he was so solcitous for further
republican success that he was discour-

position to Mr.. Taft's renominatIon. And
only two months ago he was striving with
might and man, and with the aid of
crooked contests from southern states, to
secure the republican nomination at Chi
cago. If the McHarg maneuver had sue
ceeded Mr.. Roosevelt would now be the
republican candidate for President. His
defeat at Chicago signalized the defeat of
crookedness.

The Triumph Of Blease.

From the New York Tribune.
Cole Blease has been renominated for
Governor of South Carolina in the demo-
cratic primary. having received a ma
jority over his two opponents together.
This, in a state where democratic domi-
nation is practically uncontested, assures
his continuance in office. Gov. Blease
has made himself best known to the
outside world by course Of consistent
turbulence and blackguardism His an
swer to charges Of grating has been a
threat to thrash his accusers, and he has
been the public advocate of lynching. His
success sets students of democracy Won
dering. Yet there is no reason to think
that his nomination is the chance blunder
of voters who do not know what they
are getting. Notwithstand possible truth
in the charges of fraud in the primaries,
he is the sort of governor that the sort
of people now ruling South Carolina Ike.
He is the worst specimen yet seen of a
type not unknown In other states where
more or less similar conditions prevail.

Blease of South Carolina.

Cole l.. Blease, Governor of South
Carolina, has just celebrated his primary
majority for denomination by issuing the
following statement:
Il have won greatest victory over
newspaper corporations and political
trickeries ever known to the world. 1t is
a ear vindication of my past life and
my actions as legislator and governor.
The peop of my state are behind me.
They know l have been the most belied
man that has ever gone into political
contest. The outside world should now
be convinced that newspapers of South
Carolina arr the greatest set of liars on
earth"
The restraint and moderation Of this
announcement commend Gov. Blease as
one who was wrongfully overlooked when
a vice preside ntial candidate for the bull
moose ticket was being sought.

The spirit of demagogy is abroad.
Those who advocate pulling down the
pillars on which our government has rest
ed for a century and a quarter are fast
and furious in their demands. Yet we
believe the people as whole, when
aroused to sober second thought, will see
that the issues rise above the personali-
ties of leaders and concern the very per-
petuity Of our republican form of gov
ernment. The people may then be trust
ed to preserve the Constitution and the
form of government which have wealth
