A Ministry Of Fine Arts.

The British Chancellor, replying to a
question in the House of Commons
whether Great Britain intended estab-
fishing a ministry of fine arts after the
French example, said that it was not
a practicable suggestion. The London
press takes Mr.. Lloyd-George to task
for his unsympathetic attitude, yet not
every French artistic institution will
stand transplanting to English soil.
The French do not do everything
better than their neighbors across the
channel. Their ways of reaching ex-
cellence often are alien to British
genius. For this reason England never
will have anything like the French
Academy" But as to the ministry Of
fine arts in France, it is quite another
matter. There is no national or racial
gift or magic about that. Its value
and success are unquestioned. Its
worth would be marked particularly
where the English need for improve
ment is patent.

What His Victory will Mean.

When President Wilson emerges from
the situation bearing aloft a tariff bill
and a currency bill of his own kind
and pattern, he will have afforded an
other demonstration of the fact that
the pivot upon which this government
turns is the White House and not the
Capitol.
His victory will mean much for him.
1t will strengthen him immensely with
the people. 1t will prove that al
though he has not the roughness and
ruggedness of Andrew Jackson nor
the impetuosity and erraticism of Theo-
dore Roosevelt, he has inherent quail
tiles of leadership. He seems to wear
the silken glove over the mailed hand.
There will be some conservative and
cautious souls who will deplore this
additional evidence of the power of
the Executive, but their voices will
hardly be heard. As matter of fact,
there is not any real danger in the
present domination of Congress by the
President, except that every time any
President proves himself supreme he
makes it easier for his successor to
pursue the same course.
When the fight against the currency
bill opens up in the Senate, the op-
position will be confined to the Re-
publican minority. Whatever aid and
comfort this minority receives from
Democratic Senators will be secret and
not open. This being the case, the
President will patiently wait for the
antagonism to wear itself out. He
will not even be compelled, as Cleve-
land did, to weaken the opposition by
the distribution of official favors.
The question of whether President
Wilson is riding to a fall must be an
swered in the negative. Congress real
ly does not want to pass currency
bill at this session, but its will is to
be subordinated to the desire of the
President. The latter will win because
there is logic in the assertion that the
tariff bill and the currency bill must
go to the country hand in hand; be-
cause the President cannot afford to
allow himself to be defeated: and. last

BAD MEN OF TIE MOUNTAINS.
why They Are Disappearing Il
kentueky.

From the Louisville CourierJournai.
Men Of the type of "Gen'' May. who
was electrocuted q few days ago at the
Eddyville Penitentiary, are disappearing
from the mountains. Varying influences
are responsible for their disappearance.
In the first place the mountain country
Is developing. in more ways than one,
and .the old home amt what 1t used to
be-" Railroads have come into isolated
localities, and schools and churches have
increased in number and usefulness. In
dustries follow railroads. and the people
Of the mountains are getting busy. The
children are going to school, and their
parents are devoting themselves to gain
full occupations. Time does not hang as
heavily on the mountaineer's hands as
it once did. He has less leisure to devote
to the pursuit of his personal enemies.
immigration also Is having its effect
The mountain counties are growing In
population and the new blood that Is
being infused IL not of kind to be
stirred to the boiling point by neighbor-
hood feuds and grudges. Many Of the
bad men. too. have left the country for
the country's good, realizing that the feud
business has come into disfavor and that
1t is more essential to have good reasons
for shooting neighbor than to have an
alibi prepared in advance Of the event.
Last, but not least. the mill Of Justice
is working in the mountains and the law
abading element Is beginning to assert
itself. The electrocution of Gen" May
should have a deterrent influence in
country where shooting has been so COM
mon. in the past that some OF the bad
men, like May. have looked upon 1t as a
pastime. Henceforth there will be less
patience with citizens who have weak

Why Legislation Is Asked.

The ostensible reason for asking
Congress to enact a currency bill is
that the new tariff schedules may great
" disturb business, and that it is,
therefore, necessary to enact law
which will prevent a severe stringency
in the money market.
If the premise be correct, the con-
clusion is logical. 1t is true that the
Democrats are pledged not to injure
any legitimate industry, and their tariff
bill ought to be so framed that it will
not check the great prosperity of the
nation. If dark days are to come,
however, it is wise to make some pro-
vision for relieving distress. This is
the Presidents point of view, and
there is no gainsaying its force. More
than this, the tariff bill and the cur
rency bill must go to the country to-
gether. If the currency bill is not en-
acted at this session it will not become
a law, in the natural order of things,
until next June. Congress would GER
tainly not pass it before the Christ
mas holidays, and then its discussion
would drift along almost indefinitely.
Long before it could have passed the
tariff law would be in operation, and
if it caused the anticipated commercial
distress there would be no antidote
ready. The currency bill, if it is to
be a remedy for business ills, must be
enacted now.

SUNDAY. AUGUST 3, 1913.
THE POLITICAL SITUATION

Is President Wilson riding to fall !?
This is the question which observers
of the political situation are asking.
1t is an inquiry which arises out OF
interesting developments in national
affairs. 1t hints at the struggle which
is impending between the President
and the Congress.
The President is determined that
Congress shall enact a currency re-
form bill at the present session. He
has definitely announced his purpose
and is bending all his energies toward
accomplishment. The path to victory,
however. is not altogether smooth. 1t
will take courage and tact and reso-
lutte forcefulness to overcome the OBJ
stacles which are already in sight. Has
the President these qualities and can
he make Congress obey his will?
The situation is not altogether with
out precedent. In the last Democratic
administration. Congress came together
in extra session to revise the tariff,
and Mr.. Cleveland suddenly recom-
mended the repeal of the Sherman
silver purchase law. 1t was a meas
ure which had not been mentioned in
the campaign, and very few people
knew that il was on the statute books
The financial interests, however, de-
manded its repeal. and Mr.. Cleveland
threw the tremendous weight OF the
Presidential office upon their side of
the scale. Somewhat analogous are
present conditions. There was not
much said about currency reform dur
ing the last campaign, and no really
popular demand that currency legiSla-
ton should be enacted. As in Cleve-
lands administration. however, there
has come from somewhere an insist
cnce that the government money shall
he taken out of the national treasury
and placed in private banking institu-
tons. that these institutions shall be
OF limited number. and shall control
all the other banks i'll the country.
and shall have the right, under the
supervision of a political board, TO
issue or refuse to issue half bill
lion dollars OF money. And, as i'll
Cleveland's time the power of the
President is behind the effort to secure
the enactment OF this much-de>ired
legislation.
