resigned but the resignation has been held up, and
he continues to serve, pending determination about
filling his pace and also that of Commissioner Glenn
ents who will go out with the close of this year
less reapponted.
If Governor Glenn is appointed, and then Com
missioner Clements is retained, the whole East will
be without representation. Therefore, it seems we'll
nigh impossible if Glenn is named now to reappoint
Clements in January. Glenn, brought into the COM
mission now woud simply elbow Clements out
few weeks hence. A New England man is alto
gether likely to succeed to one other of the va
cancies.
1t is said that the President urges against Judge
Clements, that he is sixy-seven years old. 1t would
be more to the point to say that he is sxseven years
young and sixty-seven years qualified. If Governor
Glenn shall take his seat he will have to spend a
term in the Office equpping himself to fill the place
of Clements, and by the time he had done that he
will be as old as Clements is now, and under the age
rule now laid down, due to retire.
The people who are concerned to maintain the
commission somewhere near the high level Of abil-
iy and serviceabty that has been maintained in re-
cent years, feel that this is very grave juncture.
Commissioner Prouty retired to manage the railroad
valuation business, which is in the line of the same
service But with him retired the reason for keeping
Mr. Clements on the commission becomes douby ur-
gent. He should not be crowded out in order to
make room for personal or political appointment.
The public has rights in this matter that can
pot safely be ignored. The use of patronage power
to club Congress into submission may be forgiven,
even applauded, by the community. The use of pa
tronage power pay personal political debts, at
the expense of most important branch of the pub
lie service, will be neither forgotten nor forgiven

LARKIN AND QUINLAN.

James Larkn, labor leader was locked up in
Dublin for saying "sedtous" things. He was leader
of the Dublin dock workers strike, and INDUCED in
some utterances that, in Ulster, would have been
mk-and-water mildness. The Ulster agtators with
their armies actually organizing and paradng, and
their talk about blood to the brides 90 free and the
government has not dared lay finger on them. Poor
Larkn: labor leader, is chucked into Jail for
months.
Soon after he went to jail the Reading election
came off, and the government that had locked up
Larkn lost seat because the labor element ran a
separate candidate instead of fusng with the liberals.
That brought the government its Senses and Lar
kin, against whom there no real charge worth
considering, was released
Will not somebody in public station call attention
to the case of young Qunlan the New Jersey labor
leader whose position is almost exactly parallel to
that of Larkin, except that Quinlan was held long
time behind the bars and has yet to stand trial.
Quinlan is charged with ncting riots which is Jer-
sey for the charge that was made in Dublin against
Larkin.
Cases like this of Qunan 90 unnotced almost in
the United States while the papers are filled with
the Larkn outrage" and the triumph of justice in
his release. Lately have been vastly excited over
the Kief rtualist murder trial and have read great
deal about how the public opinion of civilization
saved Bells. Why does not the public opinion of this
little American section of civilization save Qunlan /?
If public opinion in Great Britain is able to do what
il did for Larkin, are to concede that in similar
case in free America public opinion is poweress 4?

COMMISSIONER CLEMENTS.

President Wilson is understood to be determined
upon the appointment of Governor Glenn, of North
Carolina to place the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. 1t is not understood that anybody is par
ticulary objectng to the selection, which is dictated
by both political and personal reasons, Mr.. Glenn
being an old friend of the President.
But the public has decided interest in the reor-
eanizaton of the commission. There are two ap-
ponments shortly to be made; one to fill the shoes
of Commissioner Prouty, the other for the place of
Mr.. Clements. Judge Clements is the veteran men,
ber of the commission Mr.. Prouty is only second to
him in length of service. The commission can i'll
afford to lose the experience and the righteous view
point of either. To have both 60 at once would be
highly unfortunate.
Mr. Prouty is the only representative of the New
England-New York territory on the commission. He
stands for the great industrial and commercial East
which is entitled to representation. He has already

TREATING ALL ALIKE.

There is room for a legitimate discussion of the
question whether members of Congress fairly en-
titled to special favors at the hands of the telephone
company. A man named Norris, who might have
been brcklayer Or shopkeeper, applying for tele-
phone service at his home, was confronted with a
certain onerous contract which he must sign. He
didn't want that contract, because it would compel
him to pay for service he didn't expect to use. When
the telephone authorities got the prospective GUS
toner identified as Senator Norris instead of Brick
layer or Shopkeeper Norris, they found way to
modify the contract. MIR. Norris couldn't see why
the telephone company should grant special consid-
GRAFTON to him after it discovered he was Senator
that it couldn't possibly extend when it didn't know
of his official position.
1t is safe venture that most people will agree
with the view of Mr.. Norris. If the telephone COM
pany can reasonably grant mild form of contract
to Senators and Cong7cSsman if it loses nothing BY
treating them reasonably and fairly then why should
i: lose by treating other people the same way?
If the company is giving public men more than
they pay for, it must expect them in their public
capacities to do something by way of return for the
favor. That is all wrong. If it isn't giving them
more than they pay for, then it is making a good
many other people pay for more than they get That
is equally wrong.
