the governors chair, provides for jury commits
sion in each county to be named by the governor.
The reactionary crowd in the Legislature has hitch
ed on an amendment providing for a referendum
to the people; not because there is any doubt that
tine people are for it, but because the requirements
imposed on this referendum make il very doubtful
if the complicated requirement can be met at ref
erendum election. The provision is affixed, not to
determine public sentiment, but to kill the bill. The
President is out in opposition to it, and he ought to
win his fight His former experiences fighting the
old Jersey gang justify the expectation that by the
time he has made his appeal to the people, and
aroused them in his support, he will win.
1t is in just such instances as this that the people
are entitled to a chance to make their voice heard.
why not give the people what they nave
demanded without qualification? asked the Presi-
dent. The answer is that we can, if they will de-
mand it vigorously enough

THE BOY WITH THE, SILVER SPOON.

The boy born with a silver spoon in his mouth
and bag of gold in each chubby fist faces uphill
fight if he's going to be mans man.
He has to fight the influence of mountain of
money; and that is fight strong men have fought
and lost.
He has to fight the influence of pampering and
petting by friends and relatives
He has to fight the impulse to indulge in con-
descension and snobbery which is born of the minis
trations of horde of tufthunting kowtowinp pala-
vering curry-favors.
He has to fight his environment of luxury and de-
pendence; tine languid, donothing day-in-and-day
out existence of his set"
He must fight these things if he would escape a
supercilious, distorted, simpering maturity He must
fight for his right to democratic manhood and success
by his own efforts.
He must forget, and make others forget, that he
was born to money and station. Then he must
plunge into the middle of the current and founder
about with millions of others until he finds himself
and strikes out upstream.
The of the rich is in the minority by acci-
dent of birth; he is out of tune with the vast ma
jori of his fellow men; he lacks their viewpoint of
life their viewpoint of righteous, justice equality,
prosperity.
If he is to be anything in this world except a
drone, ne must work WIN tnese men. He can work
their enemy; he can work as their friend he can,
worse than either, work in the dark not knowing his
fellow men.
The hardest battle before tine rich young man,
then, is his fight to become democratic, to be born
again If he cannot win this fight his labors will be
in vain, for he is aboring blindly.
Altogether the lot of the boy with silver spoon
is not an enviable one, if he is to win success He
has q double task. He mas to learn to climb down
before he can climb up.

REAL ANGLO.AMERICAN ISSUE.

The question of canal tolls is of course some
thing of an ISSUE and the worries of the Britishers
about Mr.. Brycn's tendencies to speak out loud his
thoughts abou. relations between Britain and Ireland
is plainly strainng the relations between seventeen
or eighteen Engshmen, and these United States.

full to some transatlantic susceptbilites.
But all the same, the real menace to peace right
now is involved in the question whether the New
York Yacht Club is going to give Sir Thomas anot-
er chance to get beaten in yacht race.

THE DIPLOMATIC APPOINTMENTS.

We have tried good many years. while our di.
plomatic posts occupied chiefly by gentlemen
with ample purses and corresponding social ambi-
tions, to get Congress to provide permanent resi-
dences for ambassadorial representatives abroad
The effort has always failed
1t has been urged that such provision was pre-
requisite to getting men of predomnating cerebral
instead of financial capacity into the diplomatic SER
vice. Perhaps that has been an error; possibly
the order of procedure should be changed and we
should get brains into diplomacy as preliminary
to getting proper provision for diplomats abroad
Anyhow, the suggestion of President Eliot, of
Harvard, and Prof. Fine of Princeton, for ambas-
sadorships suggests that President Wilson is going
TO try the other way around. There will be i'm
mediate and enthusiastic Endorsement of the pro-
posal of DR.. Eliot for the London post The dean
of American scholarship, letters and education he
is of precisely the type that should be represented
in diplomatic station In the middle age of this
republic we were won't to send men of this class
and caliber to foreign posts, and without exception
they made an excellent impression. Nothing lid
to increase the respect of Britain for America
nothing did more to answer the contemptuous query,
who reads American book" tnan the assign
ment of intellectual leaders TO the ST James mis-
sion. And after a period, all too long, of gilded
representation by book it is pleasant TO con-
slider that in the way Of reversion to those
examples of former good taste and good sense and
to an emulation of the excellent modern example
that Britain has US in sending Dr. Bryce here
1t is to be hoped that Dr. Eliot will accept the Lon
don post, and that more men like him and Dr. Fine
will be found for other stations

THE FRIEDMANN CURE.

Dr. Friedmanns serum for treatment of tubercu-
loss is entitled to fair trial. and it is not apparent
that the conservatism of the Government health SER
vice is without justification. The Berlin specialist
has made a much more favorable impression of late
than he did during the earlier period of his Ameri-
can visit. 1t has become plain enough, from his
conduct that he believes in himself and his treat
ment, and that he is not consciously Intentionally
faker in any degree.
None the less, it would be unfortunate if too
high valuation were placed on his cure. Back of
all cures for tuberculosis lies the plain duty Of pre-
vention by dnt of proper living methods. No treat
ment is going to eradicate this disease that does not
summon sanitation ally.
Whatever efficacy may at length be claimed
and demonstrated for the Friedman serum, the fact
will remain that people must be taught the necessity
of living in properly ventilated and clean homes
they must learn to sleep with their windows open
they must realize that no injection of vaccine can
take the place of clean, fresh, pure air and plenty
of it. The overcrowding of sleeping and living
rooms must not be forgotten in an outburst of con-
fdence in any remedy.

REVISION BY SCHEDULE OR EN- BLOC.

1t is possible that some special advantage may
appertain to the revision Of the tariff schedule-by
schedule, instead of bloc in single great, incu.
sive measure. There used to be firmly fixed no.
ton of sucn advantage. 1t was believed that less
trading and ogrolng between factions and interests
would be possible, if schedule at time were CON-
sdered each on its merits.
Perhaps. But it may be doubted whether this
advantage amounts to much. When Schedule A
is up, Schedule X will be in mind just the same,
whether it is nominally before the House or not.
the people whose concern is wrapped up in zinc
will be on the job when asbestos is under considera-
ton. They will not be vastly embarrassed about
trading with the asbestos people, who will want
votes just as much as if asbestos and zinc we're
written in the same paragraph
The real ideal of schedule revision is to be at
tanned only at that distant period when shall ap
preciate the possibility Of revising particular scned
ules and even items by themselves, entirely apart
from any general consideration of tariff as system,
and from the whole body Of schedules as the basis
Of revenue system. That again, brings US back
to the tariff commission plan, which just now is in
the discard Of disrepute, but which will be with us
again. as the real scientific plan of handling tariff.
Meantime, Congress has been so thoroughly i'm
pressed with the nonsenscal idea that you cant
ALL" that not prepared to consider tire idea
Of schedule apart from thought Of logroling
That idea, of course, has been incurated and fos-
tered by the very people who find their plans are
served by adherence to it. They want traffcking
and Changing work" in order to make it easier OF
consolidate strength in support of the highest pos
sible duties. The thought of traf6cking among
those who want lower duties somehow seems never
have gained footing though it is just possible
and logical.
At time when such revolutionary move as
the adoption of the income tax into our revenue
system is under consideration there are some posi-
tive advantages about having the whole tariff scheme
in a single bill One is that each part may better
be considered with reference to the whole and to
general results.
The duties wool and sugar are going to have
direct bearing the adjustment of tine income tax
rate. If we get free wool and free sugar, this will
mean that more money must be raised by the in
come excise. Therefore, certain measure of ad-
justment of schedule to another is unavoidable
After all, the character of tariff scheme, as
whole, whether it is made in one bill or in score,
may be expected to reflect the attitude of the Con-
gress which makes it. The detail of making it in
one measure or in series is rather immateria
