SOPHISTICATED DEMOCRATS

1t is a shortsighted policy which the
Democrats OF the United States Senate
are pursuing in holding up the nomina-
tons made. by President Taft since the
opening of the present session of Con-
gress, nominations fall of which were
regularly made to fill vacancies in the
public services as they occurred, either
because of expiration of terms or death
of mcumbents. The Democrats for the
long pull are playing into the hands of
the Republicans, says the Pittsburgh
Gazette Times.
The commissions which would issue to
the appointees of the President if the
Senate should confirm them would be
for terms of four years. In consequence
vacanies would occur again in the same
office near the expiration of President
Wilson'S term, he would have the filling
Of them, and the appointees would con-
tinue until near the end of his successors
term. The Democrats, however, wish
possession of these offices now for polit-
ical rewards and are holding out against
confirmation so that all may be available
tor distribution to the faithful when
Wilson comes in. There is but month
to filibuster and the Democratic plan to
prevent confirmation of the Taft nomi-
nees will probably succeed. Then after
President Wilson has sent in the names
of Democrats and they are confirmed
four-year commissions will issue in
regular course and the prize winners
will enter upon the enjoyment of the
salaries and distinction for practically
the same time and term as the president
who appoints them. And soon after
Wilson'S Republican successor is inau-
gurated, tour years from March 4 next
all these places will become vacant
again and Republican President will
fill them with Republicans, as will only
be natural and right, and fewer Demo-
Gratis will be in the public service after
March A, 1917, than would be the case
if the Democratic senators had permit
ed Taft's nominees to be confirmed in
regular course.
The Democrats. however, are more
concerned for what they can grab off at
the moment than what will be left to
them after the Wilson administration
gives place to a Republican one.

tie complex underlying the Paleozoic and
later rocks. Besides giving an account
of the geologic and photographic his
tory of the region, the folio is of in
terest to mining and business men in
describing the mineral resources. These
are. in the order OF their present inn

copper ore. Manganese ore, oil and wa

commercial Importance at present, the

are probably valueless, and the value
OF the remainder is improved. Detailed
descriptions of these deposits have al

Cup Stands Only for

London, March s.--Sir Thomas Lip
tons challenge for the Americas eul
stipulates that the competing yachts
shall not exceed seventy-five feet at tho
waterline and that the best three of five
races shall decide the issue.
The foregoing details OF the challenge
were given by the secretary of the Royal
Ulster Yacht club, Sir Thomas, while
confirming them, said he was unable to
add anything, as the challenge was now
in the hands OF the officials OF the New
York Yacht club and they, if anybody
should make the text public. Sir Thomas
said however, that he and his advisors
We're convinced that they had better
chance of winning with boat measuring
seventy five feet ON the waterline. This
is only foot longer than the present
Shamrock, with which Sir Thomas has
been SO successful in the regattas in Etl-
ropean waters. Sir Thomas explains,
however, that the challenger in other
respects will be larger than the Sham
rock
Captain Edward Sycamore, who doubt
less will command Shamrock Nv, ii the
challenge is accepted. is believed to have
had good deal to do with stipulating
that boats must not be more than IS
feet on the waterline. He is great
believer in the boat he now commands,
and he is of the idea that one somewhat
OF her size and lines would be more sue
cessful than larger vessel. Captain
Sycamore said he has great confidence in
the ability of Charles 4. Nicholson, the
Gosport designer, to build yacht which
can bring the cup back to England.
That Sir Thomas Upton is insincere
in his desire for a race for the America
cup under conditions governing past
races for that trophy and that his latest
challenge will be declined by the New
York Yacht club is almost certain, If the

ton limiting the waterline length to
seventy-five feet is correct. A situation
similar to this led to the declination OF
Lipton's challenge in 1907, and at that

would not consider any challenge con.
