BRANDETS AND POLITICS.

Those Democratic State leaders who called
upon Governor Wilson to protest against the in
clusion of Louis Brandeis of Boston, in the presi-
DENTAL cabinet at least accomplished one thing
They let the country know that Mr.. Brandeis is
being considered and that there is a possibility
OF HIS selection.
Most people are inclined to let Mr. Wilson
pick his own cabinet and while all OF us have
our candidates, whom we think are better quail
fed than others. we are willing to trust Mr. VII.
sons Judgment until he has made his selections
at any rate realizing that 1t is Mr. Wilson's cabi-
net after all. that Is to be selected There Ia no
professionals have cause to protest and that Louis
Brandeis is on Mr.. Wilson's slate OF possibilities
There is no harm in hoping that he will be &C.
lected.
Louis Brandeis may not be regular" Demo
crat, as the faithful of Massachusetts, contend
He may even labor under the disadvantage of
being satisfactory to Mr.. Hearst He may even
have committed the crime of voting the Renuh
hcan ticket once upon time. Nevertheless and
notwithstanding he would make "A fine cabinet
onfcer for Mr. Wilson. and II better secretary of
commerce and labor, and one more satisfactory to
the new president cannot be found, he will be
chosen. protests or protests, from the enc
mics In his own State
Whatever may be the views of Brandefs ON
some of the questions which divide the nation
into parties. he is at one with President Wilson
on the trust question. The two think along the
same lines on this problem, anyway. The
recent campaign decided between benevolent
monopoly and restricted competition. and re-
stricted competition Brandeis is as heart
lily opposed to Colonel Roosevelts theories on
the subject as is MFR. Wilson, and argued con-
in Mr.. Wilson's favor during the cam
paign. AS an economist, he showed himself
sound to the core; he left no room for question
as to his familiarity with industrial conditions
His selection would be no mistake from the
point OF view Of character. ability and patriotism
Whether or not it would be a wise move from
the standpoint of policy we do not know. bat W,
have an idea that Mr.. Wilson will select his
cabinet for the purpose of gaining help In giving
a good administration rather than for the pur
pose Of pleasing political leaders II we are
right, what political leaders think of Mr.. Bran
deis will not influence the president-elect IN
making his decision.

CONSCIENCE AND GOLD.

Murder, arson, rapine and every kind Of dis
order and, outrage has been OF common occur
renee IN Armenia for years. The Turk has
slaughtered whenever he felt SO inclined For
every assassination Of a political enemy by
Mexicans there has been q dozen murders o:
religious enemies by Turks. Mexicans have been
killed In battle and leaders have been assassi-
mated by their victors. but in Turkey defenseless
men have been killed because Of religious and
racial differences, women have been outraged
and children put to the sword. Mexico is the
throne Of civilization as compared to the near
East
In Servia g monarch and his wife were foully
murdered by the soldiery and a pretender ele-
waited to the throne.
In Russia the Jew has been killed by Cos
sacks and peasants have been maltreated. Mas
sacres have been frequent In one night as many
inoffsnsive and defenseless men have been muir
dered have met death in Mexico since Dfaz
was driven out and for less reason.
In the rubber belt OF Africa uncomfortable
trocities have been committed under orders
ON a supposedly Christian monarch Blacks
ave been maitreated, tortured and killed.
Yet there has been no intervention In Ar
menia- There have been no British troops 20
put foot on the soil OF Russia servfa has been
compelled to resist no foreign invasion on &C
count of their crimes. Leopold OF Belgium mas
never been brought to justice by the hand OF
man. Great Britain. eager for American troops
to be sent into Mexico because few lien have
been killed and others have been murdered. has
steadfastly refused to protect those of her own
faith from persecution at the hands of infidels.
She has looked on Eerenely while Russian Cos
sacks rode down men, women and children whose
only crime was that OF living Great Britain
had but one Gladstone to cry out against perse-
cution In Armenia: she has hundreds to cry out
against disorder and a half dozen killings in
Mexico.
The reason? Great Britain's citizens have
filthy money invested In Mexico and none in
Armenia, in Russia. in Spain or in Servia. Her
pocketbook Is not touched by murder In Europe
and Africa. but 1t Is endangered in Mexico. Tho
reason7 1t Is gold. gold, gold.
The pocketbook patriots are not confined to
England. We have them here They would
sacrifice American lives for the protection OF
their Investments In Mexico it they could. They
will raise the cry of intervention as quickly as
their brothers across the water. Both should
be ignored by this government Protection OF
the lives of Americans ia the only duty OF this
government now. Our duty to civilization
is thing of the future and can be considered
when the time comes

CURRENT COMMENT
Virginia and Rhode island Comnared.

No State in the Union excels Virginia in
the output of either hsh oysters. single
State excels in direct tax revenue. and that
is Rhode Island Yet Little Rhody" does not
collect anything like Virginia in the way of
indirect revenues from oyster sources. The
explanation OF this Is easy. Taking up the In
direct end business is by far the greater.
and the accruement of taxable real and personal
property from this source is much in excess of
Rhode Islands.
AS to the direct proposition. the little New
England State reports: "2124 acres OF leased
ground, the annual rentals of which amount
to s135,6o0. There is also a tax of 10 per cent
in addition. which will amount to $1356o,
therefore showing total of $149,160." With
less than half the planting ground we have.
she exacts tremendous rental Her charges
are SIS and $40 per Virgnas are fiat
81. There is no argument. however in this
that we should increase our rental rate. Rhode
Island has no public grounds sush as we reap
abundance from. Then. far from mar
ket centres, while Rhode Island is in the heart
OF the greatest. Truck lands of the same pro-
ducttvenes here and around Philadelphia do
not bear the same commercial value Forty
dollars per acre would be high here when
four hundred dollrs would be dirt cheap"

NATURAL AND LEGAL RIGHTS.

Senator Elihu Root is opposed to woman suf-
frage. among other reasons because he believes
that It would be loss to women and because he
believes at would be an injury to the State
and to every man and woman in the state"
This is in line with the views of many of us
who oppose woman suffrage and some of US
who favor 1.-THE latter because they believe
women have right to the ballot, whether good
for them and the State or not. Senator Root
holds a contrary view, contending that women
have not right to Suffrage saying:
It would be useless to argue this If the right
of suffrage a natural right. If It were
natural right then women should have 1t though
the heavens fall But IL there be any one thing
settled In the long discussion of this question
ii is that suffrage is not natural right but is
question to be discussed is whether government
by the suffrage of men and women win be better
than by the suffrage of men alone.
Who is going to discuss It? Who is going TO
decide whether woman suffrage is good for the
State? II suffrage is not a right, 1t is a priu
lege, Who, then, grants the privilege7 Those
having 1t now? If so, who granted it to them?
The truth of the matter is that suffrage is
natural right, all the rhetoricians and political
scientists to the contrary Notwithstanding II
II NcEB privilege II uuSt nave Deeu granted
by others In the dim past. Who granted the
privilege to the first voter? The king? Who
gave him the privilege that he might extend 1t
to others? Does Mr. Root, then. believe In tie
divine right of rulers?
The trouble arises from a confusion of terms
The suffrage is not q legal right, but>it most
emphatically is natural right That is the
only kind OF right woman suffrage is That 1t
Il not legal right is no argument, for that Is
just what the suffragists are contending for
Mr.. Root argues well against the expectancy
of woman suffrage. but he gives away his case
when he admits that at would be useless 10
argue this II the right OF suffrage were
a natural right" The natural right exists ana
the only right we have to deny them the exercise
OF 1t is that of force. That physical right Ia

1t appears now that DR.. Friedman, who
claims to have discovered cure for tuberculosis,
has not shown such commercial spirit as some
newspaper accounts and some envious members
OF his profession would have us believe. That ne
wants remuneration for his discovery seems GER

appears not to be any greater than that OF other
eminent discoveries, and his statement on his
