WHAT ROOSEVELT HELPED BOSS

From the New York WorldD
Under the peerless leadership of VIII

been wrecked in New York it's vote for

since the Legislature convened. There
mas been no republican opposition to the
'ammany nrogram From time to time
one of Barnes's henchmcn attacks Gov
ernor Sulzer, but none of them says or
does anything that could annoy Murphy.
Every measure the Tammany boss is
against the republican boss is against,
ana the two machines operate as one.

that Tammany is lighting Governor

Barnes organization is battling under
Murphy's fag Murphy and Barnes are
the strongest arguments for direct
nominations Almost any system of nam

system which enables bipartisan
combination of bosses to control the gov
eminent of the greatest State of the
Union.

Had the republican Legislature passed
Governor IIughess direct-primary bills
there would have been republican
governor elected In 1910 and there would
probably be a republican governor to-
day Mr. Roosevelt could hardly have
split the Republican party of this state
into two hostile camps had the party
redeemed its pledges and kept the faith.
The Barnes victory over Governor
Hughes drove the republicans from
power, and If Murphy triumphs over
Governor Sulzer the democrats are al
most certain to be driven from power in
turn.
The Murphy machine proflted from the
collapse of the republican organization.
but the Barnes machine will not profit
from the collapse of the democratic or

That admission to college should be
based solely on the completion Of a we'll
planned high school course; that the high
school should be given free play, so
that it may adapt it's work to the needs
of the community; and that the colleges
must keep the door open to the youthful
seeker after a college education who is
animated by a strong inner purpose in

whether he has fulfilled the old-fashion-

are some OF the conclusions drawn by

HIGH SCHOOLS AND COLLEGE EN-
TRANCE.

VerInonts educational commission is
ing the educational institutions Of the
State. In the Inauguration of this move
lnent our State has put itself In line with
a movement whose Importance is now
generally recognized.
Unless the American high school and
the American college are adjusted, we
have no real educational system, says
Clarence D. Kingsley, in bulletin on
college-entrance requirements Just issued
by the United States Bureau Of Educa-
ton. In these words he sums up the cur
rent demand that tho colleges Of tho
country shall give the high schools more
freedom in their work by ceasng to in
sist upon requirements for entrance that
hamper the school in its duty to the COM
munity. He insists that the colleges rec
ognize the changing demands In the
high school and base their requirements
accordingly. He objects alike to the
easy" college that admits students OBJ
viously unprepared and the institution
whose demands are so stringent that
none of the public high schools can rea-
sonably meet them.
notwithstanding recent changes in the
direction of uniformity, great variety In
requirements is still found. English Is
about the only regularly required subject.
Curious contradictions appear in the
several hundred institutions examined.
Certain subjects are considered so i'm
portant by some colleges that they re-
aure them, while other colleges will not
even accept them. Thus, for admission to
the A. B. course there are four colleges
that give no credit for science, and four
that give credit for only half year Of
H. while on the other hand 81
colleges prescribe one fun year of
science. Such contradictions as these,

C\LIFORNIA, JAPAN AND THE
pRESEDENT

California is irritating to the peace of
same way that Montenegro is irritating
to the tranquility of Europe 1t is prob
able that these outbreaks are productive
OF more annoyance than real danger.
California's attitude to Japanese within
her borders caused President Roosevelt
some trouble and made President Taft s
life less easy. Now President Wilson
finds the disturbing factor breaking in
upon his pressing tariff and income tax
activities.
The California Legislature under the
lead Of their intrepid governor, Hiram w.
Johnson-the same that Wed with Mr..
Marshall for the obscure position of Vice
President have set their hearts upon
once for all making it impossible for
orientals to get any firm foothold upon
theiT soil. WHAT they particularly wish
to prevent Is the acquisition of farm
lands by Japanese, To accomplish this
end they drafted bill prohibiting the
ownership of land by persons not eligible
to become citizens of the United states,
thereby striking at Chinese and Japanese.
The real difficulty now as in former
complications may be traced to the I'M
usually aggressive attitude of the jap
anese people, Since the war with Rus
sa. Japan has come to consider herself
world power Since her position is a
new one she feels the more sensitive 1t

DEUTSCHE BANK
ON i. POLITICS
Renewed Business Confidence
Awaits Tariff Reduction, It
Says in Annual Report.

New York, April 29.-One of the features
OF the annual report of the Deutsche bank
for year 1912, just issued relating to the
United states, is the following statement
by William Hertz, chairman of the board
of supervisors of the bank. He says:
in the United States the uncertainty
of domestic politics. despite excellent
crops, was an .impediment to the progress
of business, and in our opinion there will
be no basis for renewed 1nhdenccs in
that country until the newly elected prcsi-
cent and the democratic majority which
has risen into power have decided on the
extent OF the prospective tariff reduc.
ton"
The violent effect Of the Balkan war
situation and its European political fears
upon German finance is instanced by
Mr.. Hertz in the report in the statement
that in two months, from September 80
to November 80 of last year, tho excess OF
note issue of the Reichshank beyond the
metallic reserve suddenly increased $l1i,-
$4,000.
Mr.. Hertz treats of the action of the
German money and security markets dur
ing the troublesome financial times the
country has recently passed through as
follows:
1T is gratifying to be able to repeat u
this connection the statement we made
last year when speaking of the time Of
the Moroccan crisis, that the Gcrma 4
money and security market wlthstood tho
severe test to which it was subjected by
the political disturbance no less fa1on NY
than the leading markets abroad. It
should be observed that during this period
the German money market stood entirely
upon its own resources An allcViating
influence was found in the fact thar part
of our payments to foreign countries for
the import Of merchandise could be made
by selling foreign and particularly Amer
.can securities. which even permitted the
import Of gold. This testincs again con-
elusvely to the great advantages of a
country owning an important amount OF
nigh grade foreign securities marketabI

Oh this Dill to check the progress of the
japanese among them the Japanese began
to nave their say against it, Japan has
her snare of jngoes, and these became
particularly active. japanese diplomat
ists began to busy themselves in Wash

The treaty of 1911 between this country
and Japan gives the citizens of the two
high contracting powers equal rights to
own or lease and occupy houses, manu-
factories warehouses, and shops" but
says nothing about farm lands and clear
~ limits its privileges throughout to
commerce and industry. It would seem
therefore that they might pass law
accomplishing what they desire without
breaking our treaty obligations But the
ahtl-Japanese sentiment in California
has not been of kind to make tactful-
ness easy
President Wilson'S and Mr.. Bryans
problem is most difficult. If California
passes law which infringcs the treaty
thelr lot will be comparatively easy, for
the treaty would prevail in such contin-
gency and the statute be declared void
What the President and the Secretary of
state have to fear is law cleverly
enough drawn to come within the treaty
and yet SO discriminatory toward the Jap

| such d -"rmcnt those desiring to make
the task Of the President less difficult
have tended to favor some measure
which would not single out the subjects
OF any one or two countries. but would
attain the desired end by means of some
general measure. Such, for instance,
would be the proposed law preventing
from land-owning all aliens who should
not declare in writing their intention OF
becoming citizens of the United States.
me PRESIDENT himself has cOunscled
moderation and tact, without going into
details.
Tho irony of the situation is this: The
President and Secretary Of state are adj
herents OF the old States rights. or JEFF
fersonian school of political thinking. As
a practical working rule for a nation of
the size of the United States the old JEFF
! fersonian theory is of about as much
use to-day as Noah's Ark would be for
purposes OF Atlantic travel Now
in the first important practical problem
of the administration, the President and
Secretary find themselves caught between
the necessities of the case and their the
cries OF States rights as between the
upper and neither mill-stones We are af-
, forded the amusing spectacle of Jeffer-
sonian president and secretary of state
! attempting to dictate the legislation Of a
State. In this the President is right
