In the World but Not of 1t.

The detachment from the ordinary concerns Of life
exhibited IN the answers of various Senator's TO the
questions put them in the lobby quiz is more than
gravely and austerely heroic. 1t is engagingly and
meltingly idylc. According to their testimony some
of the conscript fathers would hardly be able to
recognize an object named in the Underwood bill or
the Payne law If they met it walking down Pennsyl-
vania avenue on four logs saw 1t carted by In
delivery wagon.
4 Senator whose term Of service goes back to the
passage Of the Payne law and who was required TO
say whether he financially interested In the pro-
duction manufacture or sale of any article men
toned in that law as well in the Underwood bill
or any other measure considered in Congress while
he was member declared yesterday that the only
point Of contact which he could remember was his
ownership of a life insurance policy. dividends paid
to him on which might possibly be taxed under one
construction Of the income tax provisions Of the
pending tariff measure.
Apparently this Senator has never owned since he
came to Washington horse, COW, a couple of egg
laying chickens Il vegetable garden, fruit tree or
piece of ground used for agricultural purposes, nor
had he been interested in mine, lumber com
pany nor any concern engaged in producing, manu-
featuring or selling commodities. He owns life
income producing securities of any description.
And the only communication with the outer world
which this ascetic statesman has had In reference
TO articles named In tariff and other bills has been
an inquiry from fellow insurance policy holder as
to the effect Of the Underwood bill on the dividends
receivable from an insurance company!
Another Senator from Of the chief manufact-
uring states of the Union declared himself without
In, nf In nv thp
Payne and Underwood laws and as having no direct
or indirect connection with constituents or Others
engaged in the production, manufacture or sale OF
such articles.
An extraordinarily unwordly lot Of men make the
laws which regulate production, manufacture and
commerce.

NONSENSE ON THE TARIFF
So a Manufacturer Describes Mr..
Carnegie s Talk.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir; With an experience OF over forty
years as manufacturer and importer and
some as exporter, II gets my goat" 10
have a man like Carnegie talk such nom
sense about the tariff, 1t shows that in
spite OF his wonderful success his experi-
ehce has been in very narrow lines. No
doubt his success is chiefly due TO good
fortune in getting good business associ-
ates.
Ills broad assertion implying that pro-
tectloh Is only needed to cover the initial
lack OF knowledge and greater waste I'm
starting an absolutely new industry. and
that after once properly started such an
industry, with the same facilities and
prices as To raw materials. can compete
with countries employing cheaper labor.
regardless OF our higher labor and oyer-
mead charges is certainly not true.
Secretary Redheld seems TO be another
whose mind runs I'm narrow grooves. He
Is continually quoting our enormous ex-
port hgures but without investigation or
analysis. assuming that these figures
prove his contention that our higher
priced labor Is more efficient than that of
other countries. Is it reasonable. for in
stance, to suppose that the silk or ribbon

Remove Waldo !

In demanding the removal of Waldo the Currah
committee voices the sentiment of the entire city
Its condemnation of Waldo is just and moderate
He is unfit for the office which he holds. HIS atu
tude toward the efforts TO catch and punish the
crafters in the Police Department has been IA
scandal
Honest policemen who have Sympathized with the
work of the District Attorney and sought to ana
him have been harassed and degraded or dismissed
from the force Dishonest policemen have been set
investigating the charges against themselves and
preparing clean bills of health in their own favor
The District Attorney has been assisted by the
Matching of plots to destroy and dscredit his wit
nesSes The infamous scheme to make Spp useless
as a witness differed from BeckerS method of get
ting rid of Rosenthal only in being less audaciouS
Sipp was to he killed only as a witness.
All Of this has gone on under the eyes of the pub
lie which knows that Waldo, with the Mayor whose
rubber stamp" he is, has been great obstacle to
police reform and which is indignant at his continu-
ance in office The public knows the justice of all
the accusations which the Curran committee has
brought 1t knows that Waldo is unfit. 1t knows
that its interests have been betrayed.
The Gaynor administration has not merely failed
in its administration of the Police Department Any
administration might fail for this department pre-
sents the gravest difficulties. The Gaynor admins
tration has been grossly and deliberately wrong 1t
has treated those who seeking 10 uncover and
punish graft as its enemies The police inspectors
and lesser officers who have been convicted have
been convicted in spite of its hostility. The graft
prosecution has succeeded in spite Of the plots Of
the System to block its efforts, plots that were at
least never punished by Mayor Gaynor or Waldo.
Waldo should be removed The Curran committee
very properly addresses its recommendation for his
removal to Mayor Gaynor The responsibility is the
Mayors If he does not remove his Police Commits
sioner the city may turn to the Governor for re-
lief from the shameful maladministration Of the
Police Department. 1t may also call Gaynor's case
TO Mr.. Suffers attention. Only an unfit Mayor
would maintain an unfit Police Commissioner in
office.

Fatal Intemperance.

The report having been spread abroad through
Philadelphia that Mr.. Haywood, the J. W. W.
leader, is in the habit of dining on porternouse
steaks cooked with mushrooms. that agitator touhu
a vacant hall on his hands the other night when lie
visited the Quaker City. The workers whom ne
expected TO organize evidently knew what the res
taurants charge a consumer of porterhouse STEAKS
and did not intend to encourage by their contFiou
tonS that particular experiment in boosting the cost
of high living.
Some forms of intemperance are more tataI than
others Had it been reported merely that the l. W.
w leader dallied too frequently with milk punches
or rye highbas the diminution in the size OF MS
audience would probably have been negligible. but
In these days of efficiency and economy the porter

Bishop Brent of the Philippines seemed to take II
as matter hardly worth comment that he travelled

see no reason whatever for bishop to travel first
class believe bishops place is with the common
people" he is quoted Us saying in response to some
surprised quesioners.
There can surely he only praise for such stanch
democracy in religion. II is the natural tendency
of every crossroads. town. city and nation to de-
veop classes and class distinctions. In one sense
such groupings Of congenial people are convenient
right and proper But there mnst always be certain
fundamentals Of religion and patriotism and daily
duty that know no bounda res of class and that place
all men shoulder to shoulder.
Without such common bonds our American democ-
racy would stand little enough chance of surviving
Bishop BrentS example is one that applies more
precisely 10 his fellow clergymen than TO most men.
But we can all take TO heart the truth that in every
great object Of life in everything that is best worth
while all men talk the same language, share an
equal faith and can look another in the eye as
friends and equals

A PLEA TO AMERICANS

Mariscal. was Minister OF Foreign Rela-
lions under General Poririo Diaz for
more than twenty years. and well known

Though II seems a big proposition, Mex
leo is at present in the best Of conditions
TO establish internal peace and to bring
back stronger than ever the oldtime
friendly feelings OF the Mexican people

satisfactorily all the differences that have
arisen from the false position in which
the so-called Scientific party and the
Madero misgovernment left our nation.
Mexico has always shown decided
tendency toward friendly intercourse with
the American people. but the adminlstra-

mistakes have created among the ig-
norant masses some unfriendly feelings
OF suspicion against the United States.

sonal sacrifices have shown in him

Wilson Canal Policy Better Than Cleve-
lands

In adopting President Tafts Nicaragua Canal
route policy and striving to push it TO consulnma
ton President Wilson shows great improvement
over his last Democratic predecessor 1t will be
recalled that Mr. Cleveland dsapprOyed and at
tempted to annu the otherwise unbroken policy OF
"a canal under American control He would have
abhorred the HayPauncefote treaty and would
austerely have condemned that principle Of exclu-
siye American authority at Panama which is now
so vigorously upheld by Democrats and Repubi-
cans alike.
Mr. Wilson takes the broader view He not only
agrees with Mr.. Hayess dicum, that the policy Of
this country is canal under American control.
but he also logically uphods the wider intimation
that IAN interoceanc canal by any route across the
American sthmus' must be under our exclusive
control Obviously, the part Of prudence. to avoid

Alfred Austin.

In the death of Alfred Austin England has lost
one Of her most jealous and devoted patriots. jour
nasm has lost competent and ndefatigable crafts
man and society has lost agreeable and estimable
member The world of letters has lost an industrious
and often interesting writer. Of whose pen II may
confidently be said that If II not always guided
by the loftiest genius il made the tool Of
baseness or Of an unworthy cause.
1t is probable that he would himself have been
most ready to confess that his demise would not be
an rreparable loss TO poetry. His many volumes
Of verse contained some pleasing compositions. but
none of the first rank OF the seventeen consecutive
Poets Laureate and Of the perhaps twice as many
who were at times thus known since Henry HIS
first Versfcator Regis, he was neither the most
eminent nor the most obscure. Yet it may be that
his appointment 10 the place was the most fitting
that could have been made.

The Naturalization System Should Be
Amended

Mr. Murdocks bill to create federal Naturaliza-
ton Commission deserves general support. The
present naturalization law is patchwork. 1t had
stood for nearly century when Congress a few
years ago amended it to the extent of eliminating
fraud and corruption in the methods Of issuing
naturalization papers Supervision Of the processes
10y which aliens attain citizenship is now strict
enough to guard against the scandals of the old
system But an even competer federal control of
these processes is desirable.
The state courts still exercise joint jurisdiction
with the United States courts in granting citizen
ship 1t would be well if the nation assumed
larger responsibility in this field II is authorized
by the Constitution TO provide a uniform rule OF
naturalization, and it ought 10 relieve the state
courts more and more of a duty imposed on them
simply as matter Of convenience
At the same time the processes of naturalization
ought to be simplifed. Some purely physical diff
cuties now put in the way Of applicants should be
removed and above ALL the Anticipated language OF
the law respecting persons or races eligible to
naturalization should be clarified The government
owes It to itself to define strictly the terms used IN
law which is likely at any time to become source
Of Diplomatic controversy.
