eve Have Met the Enemy, and They
Are Ours"

The battle of hundred years ago was in fact the
decisive turning point Of the War of 1877. 1t de-
termined the control Of the Great Lakes and The
fate of the Northwestern Territories. 1t held back
Proctor and Tecumseh from their intended invasion
and devastation of Michigan compelled the British
evacuation Of Detroit and redeemed for the nation
what had been lost by the ineilciency Of the army
year before Thereafter there was no more fear
of British rcconquest of the Northwest and the end
ing of the ll-conceyed war was in sight
The battle displayed, too, the finest qualities Of
American military seamanshp. The resourceful-
ness the tact the valor and the courtesy of Perry
have never been surpassed in naval annals. On the
first of April the vessels with which he was to fight
and conquer in September still trees grow
ing in the virgin forest. Two months before the
battle he had officers and sailors enough for only
one ship and Il month later, with levies Of "a
motley set blacks soldiers and boys he had only
three hundred for his ten vessels. Despite these
circumstances, lie sought the foe and fought him
with tactics that would have honored Nelson or
Dundonald. More than once in that CORY afternoon
he seemed to he beaten But he ignored defeat
with the audacity Of genius and in the end won
one of the ceanest cut and most complete victories
In our naval annals Not even Jones at Flam-
borough Head fought more unrelentingly than he
but no knight Of chiyalry was ever more courteous
and generous to vanquished foe.
II was victory undoubted and unmarried. 1t
gave America cause for unbounded gratitude and
pride and it compelled admiration in England and
left no resentment there. \ man who could fight
as Perry did must be an international hero. And
this last consideration is by no means the least Of
all Americans Canadians and Britons alike are
joining in to-day's commemoration and next years

Maine Again Points the Way.

The result of the election in the Sd Congress
District of Maine will encourage those who are
working for the reorganization and refrigeration
of the Republican party. The Republicans elected
a Representative from this district a year ago by
plurality Of 100, no Progressive candidate being
in the field. On Monday they won by plurality
Of about 600, although a Progressive candidate ran
and pOlled about $500 votes. In this same district
Roosevelt got 1926 votes to Taft's 7159.
There is no drift in Maine toward the Democratic
party. On the contrary, were the two factions Of
the Republican party to be harmonzed the anti
administration plurality in the state would be fully
ms large as it was before the split at Chicago. 1t
is up to the leaders Of the Republican party in
Maine and elsewhere to that the artificial causes
which drove so many voters out Of the Republican
ranks are removed. The election of Monday shows
that there is no serious bar to renewal Of rela-
tions between the two factions since nearly half
Of those who voted for Roosevelt were willing 10
vote for straightout Republican nominee for Con-
Gress.
The chief obstacle in the way of Republican re-
generation is the Anticipated system still obtaining
in the government of the national party. The
executive committee of the Republican National
Committee decided last spring to call meeting Of
the full committee for the purpose Of authorizing a
special national convention at which control Of the
party should be restored to the voters. Little has
been heard of the convention project since But it
should not be neglected. The time is ripe for a
liberalization of the party which shall win back
the hundreds Of thousands repealed by the close cor
poration methods Of government hitherto employed.
The voting in Maine indicates that the disgruntled
Will come back if the door is opened and kept open.

The Law and the Facts.

Because hitherto this state has not been forced
to study the fine points Of constitutonaty Of i'm
parchment Of its Chief Executive, it is now being
edited by a mass of lawsuits and argument in the
Sulzer case which verge the fantastic The
spectacle of solemn tribunal made up Of mem
bers of the upper house of the Legislature and the
Judges of the highest court in the state being en-
Joined from exercising its powers by Judge Of the
Supreme Court makes laymen laugh. 1t is partcu-
lary entertaining i'm view of the fact that the judges
of the Court of Appeals, through the chief judge,
have made arrangements to participate in the first
session of the court Of impeachment September

the legality of the trial Of the issue TO before
that court and the jurisdiction of the court over

Hardly less entertaining, to the layInan is the
argument advanced in the case Of Robin, endeav-
oring to gain his freedom on pardon issued by
Governor Suzer. that the Assembly called in eX-
traordinary session matters Of legislation had
not the power TO impeach the Executive 1t is pos
sible that this contention might be held TO be good

need speedy correction lest future Governor

check for three. quarters of the year.

From Penny Ante to High Courtesy.

Genuine good feeling and the best OF good man
ners marked the handsome apology which the
Canadian Judge handed out to our versatile and I'M
questionable Mr. Jerome What began in penny
ante ended on pretty high Meta note expressing
incidentally the exact cordial liking that nine
tenhs of the United States and ninetenths OF cana
da feel for another.
The sentiments of COaticook are another matter
In large part they are explainable as part Of the
border rancor which exists along most national
boundary lines There is theory Of the historians
that the white heat easily developed upon the
Canadian line dates back 10 those hectic days when
loyasts found life more than disagreeable in the
new American Republic. Many Of these victims
crossed to loyal Canada and are pictured rs busily
nursing their wrath ever since.
True or not this theory represents the facts Up
in our own New York the lumbermen are always
looking for a row with the subjects Of King George,

handsome saying Of our northern confines which

The Fusion Fight on Free-for-Al
Endorsement Basis.

Under existing circumstances the decision Of the
fusion executive committee allowing fusion candi-
dates to accept any outside Endorsements offered
them will excite little criticism. 1t will be consid-
cred as natural concession to the necessities of
practical politics.
There was time when the fusion managers could
well have paid some heed TO Benjamin Franklins
witty warning to his colleagues in the Continental
lCongress IF we don't hang together. we shall hang
separately" But that time is past When Mr..
Whitman consented to run on the Tammany ticket
the theory Of onefor-all and allforOne went glim-
lmering.
Mr. Mitchell is entitled to credit for his manly
declination of the Independence Leagues nomination
for Mayor because the league refused to indorse at
the same time his two associates the city ticket
He was loyal TO the ideal Of a complete fusion Of
individual antTammany interests. But that ideal
IS evidently not to be realized in this campaign, and
1t is lust as well TO admit that fact and to give all
THE fusion candidates freedom to seek votes wherever
they can find them. If Mr. McAneny and Mr. Prem
ldergast are to the Gaynor ticket, giving it
an "antiTammany" status which it could not other
wise obtain Mr.. Mitchell ought not to be censured
for reversing himself and accepting the Indepen
dence League nomination which he recently refused
Conditions were such when the campaign opened
that sweeping victory over Tammany seemed as
sured. Murphy has never before faced 50 big
Democratic revolt he faces this year The fusion
nominating Committee of 107 bungled the situation
showing timidty instead of courage and yielding
to the pressure of petty personal and partisan in
trigues. Mayor Gaynor's rancOr and vanity also
played into Murphys hands, and Tammany is now
in fair way 10 have its chestnuts pulled from the
fire through the self-seeking Of those who parade
publicly its enemies.
The best must be made of this unfortunate pre-
dicament in order to the city, far it can
be saved, from the hands of the spoiler. Let the
fusion candidates seek election separately if they
feel that they get more votes that way than
by seeking election standing shoulder to shoulder

The Coming of the Mouse. "

The suggestion that Mrs Pankhurst should be ex-
cluded from this country an undesirable immi-
grant is absurd. Mrs. Pankhurst is not coming
here as an immigrant at all. She finds too much
pleasure in the trouble she can make at home ever
to desert her native land. And in the next place,
she is not undesirable in the meaning of the statute,
since the offences for which she has served terms,
mostly ont of JAIL are offences involving no moral

Let them consider the experience Of England with
