Aigrettes and the Law.

There can be no excuse, for the action
OF the New York customs Inspectors

afgrestes from the hats OF woman pas

men had received no instructions to that
effect; they had. In fact, received no
instructions Of any sort relative to the
interpretation of the new law. they
literally took the law into their own
hands. and II Is to. be assumed that they
will be properly reprimanded for their
presemption and ofl1ciousness 1t is true
that the new tarif act prohibits the
importation OF aisrettes, but IL is not
clear that this covers the wearing OF
such adornmepts. on passing the eus-
toms. In any case. whether the law -
meant to apply to importations for sale
or to include aigrettes personally wern.
It Is to be presumed that the trainers

The Republican Committee CAN.

The republican national committee viii
meet in this town December 16 'to
confer on party matters and to take
any action which may DO deemed ad-
visable." Time and place are well
chosen. and the meeting win attract
deep national interest.
The principal party matter to be con-
ferred about ~ the basis Of representa-
tfon In national conventions. For years
dissatisfaction in republican circles has
existed north, east and west with the
power OF the south in the adoption of
national platforms aud the naming Of
presidential candidates. It has been
entirely out OF proportion to her party
strength at the polls. In fact, at the
polls she has had no strength at ALL
Her republican voters In the main have
been disfranchised. and the republican
party as a whole has acguiesced In the
performances.
Now the impatience with the situation
has taken a strong hold, and the de-
nland is that something be done to cor
rect the inequality complained Of.
What power should the skeleton re-
publican organizations in the south ex-
ereise In the supreme party eeuncf1s

enunciated and national candidates
nominated?
A most interesting point Is this: Fl
the national committee at the. coming
meeting decides upon calling a ma
tional convention. will the convention
be composed of delegates freshly chosen,
or will the delegates that formed the
national convention which met at Chi
cago last year be summoned to re-
assemble?
The popular idea. Is that when q ma
tional convention makes its nomina-
tions, adopts its platform and adjourns.
the power of the Delegates ceases abb
solutely. The convention dtsse7vess and
that is the last of II.
But there is a contention to the con-
trary. 1t Is held In some quarters that
the power of a national convention con-
tinues until the delegates co the next
convention are chosen. meet and or
ganize for business. That ~ to say,
the convention which nominated Mr..
Taft last year can be reas9ecz6led for
party business any time. or several
times. before the meeting OF the ma
tionaf conventions IN 1916.
This contention. is. based On. the fol-
lowing resolution which was adopted
at Chicago. in. May, 1858. by the con-
vention which nominated Grant and
Colfax:
Resolved. That the adjoHrnnseat of
this convention shall not work. q DISCO
luton of the sama but 10 shall remain
as organized. sabE8ct to be called to-
gether at any time. and place that the
republican national executive COMMITS
tee shall Designate"
But whatever the decision IN Decen-
Der may be. it will carry great value
for the republican Leaders Of either
faction. Party affairs are, in a tangled
and thoroughly unsatisfactory condf-
tion. and il they can be strafghtened
out the sooner ii is done the better.
