The question is important. because al

If these men, or a large number or

Normally, the city is democratic on
state and national issues, but the re-

A Bryan Candidate for Mayor.

. II Is stated that the protest OF Mr.
Bell Of indianapolis against the appoint
ment of Meredith Nicholson of that city
TO the Portuguese mission is entering
into the mayoralty fight there. The pro-
test was unavailing. Mr.. Wilson made
the appointment. but withdrew it at Mr..
Nfcholsons instance. because Portugal,
in its present disturbed state, did not APP
peal to the latter as a country OF resi-
deuce.
Mr.. Bell objected to Mr.. Nicholson be-
cause the latter was at one time an
anti Bryan man. That record had tagged
Mr. Nicholson as bad democrat in AIR.

democrats, he insisted should now be put

who had himself been anti-Bryan in the

Noise and Nerves.

A special committee of the Chicago
common council IS now engaged in study
ing the question Of needless noises and
means of suppressing them, having come
to the conclusion that Chicago is the
noisiest city in the world. The members
OF this committee are greatly interested
in the opinion that has just been asserted
by alienists that noise is one of the pro-
ducers of insanity, and they are urging
business men and others who are in a
position to lessen the noise nuisance to
attack this problem vigorously as a means
OF saving Chicago from going crazy
Inasmuch as insanity is the result of a
condition OF the brain il is by no means
unrea sonabie to suggest that clashing
sounds and tncessant noises are produc-
tive of It, A sudden loud noise is likely

ample. recently men have been engaged
In depositing rails for street car track
repair along Pennsylvania avenue To
. say that they are "deposfting" them is
TO speak technically. AS a matter Of
fact. they are dropping them, and as each
ran falls into place IL makes a noise
like cannon shot. and every one of
.fhose noises shocks a nerve in each per-
toh who hears it II that is kept up in
cessantly during the day a high state of
nervous tension results. Most Of the city
noises are of a minor character indivld.
ually, not like the deposited rail, but
taken collectively they make a tremen-
dous roar. each little component sound
tapping on the nerves and producing a
state of mental WEAKNESS.
Chicago IS particularly afflicted in this
respect Down in the loop district, the
very center of the business section, the
roar that rises from the streets In deaf
entng. Life in such conditions in siren
-uous and hard and tense. Yet when
those who are engaged in these circum-
stances leave their places of business they
do not relax. Most of them live In the
city. or IL they are SO fortunate as to
reside out of town. they reach their
dwellings by trolley car or steam road
and thus are not free from the clamor OF
mechanical sounds until they arrive al
their own doors. Those who live in town
never get away from the din.
Can noises OF this kind be prevented
The problem is a big one and calls for
serious study. II the American people are
menaced by neurasthenia as a result of
the clatter that accompanies their work
II would be better for them to siacken
their pace.

Mr.. Wilson and leadership.

Is the President by virtue of his Of
fee the leader of the American people?
MFR. Wilson so believes. and so declared
himself in his Gettysburg speech. The
belief is challenged in several quar-
-ders
With respect TO legislation the Presi-
dent undoubtedly leads. That is to
say. he makes recommendations to Con-
gress for action by that body. Such is
his duty under the Constitution
\ fair Interpretation of that duty is
that after it has been discharged the
President should wait for the response
of Congress, which is coordinate
branch of the government If the re-
spouse meets the Presidents approval.
he signifies by attaching his signature.
II Ii does not meet his approval, he sig
nifies by interposing the veto.
This is theory. Practice for years
has shown quite another thing. Execu-
tives have not confined themselves to
Recommendations. but have noted the
effect on Congress. and where pres
sure has been necessary to strengthen
recommends lions it has been brought
to bear. This is common knowledge.
Some members of Congress have de-
plored this. and expressed themselves
IN PUBIC on the SUBJECT. Iney nave
resented what to them seemed en-
croachments OF the executive depart
ment on the legislative department and
predicted undesirab BILE results from it.
But the practice has continued, and
has never been more freely criticised
than at present. During his four months
in office. with Congress in session for
three months Of the time, Mr.. Wilson
has had great deal to say about the
legislative program. and, if reports are
true, has been encouraged to say IT.
His party friends in Congress have
looked to him for suggestions beyond
the formality of message. and he has
how pending is largely his. and it is
expected that his influence on the cur
.Eency measure soon to be reported
will be quite as great.
In the circumstances has not Mr..
Wilson the right to emphasize his
views about leadership? Is 1T surpris-
ing that he should regard himself as
the national leader and carry himself
accordingly? II is true he Is in Office
AS the choice of only a minority of the
electorate, but when the republicans
divided last year it must have been
with full knowledge that they were
surrendering control to the minority.
This question Of the supreme leader
ship asserted by Mr.. Wilson may pro-
woke wide discussion. and become an
issue in the next presidential campaign.

was never in better fettle than with his
back to the wall. More than once when
so beset he came out victorious.
II his enemies triumph over him, who
will succeed Mr.. Murphy as the leader of
Tammany? The organization will of
course continue. Hated as il is, and long
has been. it is firmly established in New
York politics. Conditions are such, in
deed. that il Tammany did not exist
something like it. IL with another name,
would be called into being. The material
lying at hand would be tempting TO po-
Htical leaders. and they would use it for
ends similar TO Tammany ends.
And who so we'll fitted for the manage
ment of such an organization as men of
the grain and stamp of Croker and Muir
ply? Like begets like. Like cbeys like.
Mr.. Croker put Tammany through the
PAGES in town like an animal trainer. Mr..
Murphy enlarged the ring to embrace the
state. and under mis- whip and order the
animal has been responding.
If therefore Mr., Murphys time has
come we shall probably see such another
move into his shoes. Tammany without
a boss is unthinkable. and New York
politics without Tammany would be tame
indeed.

Caucuses and Caucus Action

Mr. La Toilette, at all times aggressive
and forceful. has this to say in condem-
nation of the means employed by the
democrats of the Senate TO lick their
| tariff problem into shape:
Senators were not elected to the demo-
cratic caucus. They We're elected to the
United States Senate. They were. elected
to perform their legislative functions In
the open Senate and not in secret eau
Gus.
Even though legislation of great pub
lie importance were to be enacted by such
| methods, it is too dear price to pay for
it,
But is this a fair and just presentation
! Of the matter? A party is a sort of fam
ily. and family affairs are usually set
tied in private. The neighborhood is not
called in while discussions are In progress
and agreements in the making. The pub
lie is advised only after arrangements
have been completed.
AS The Star has several times pointed
out. the democratic senators while debate
is on in the chamber will probably find
themselves obliged to do more than vote
on the details of the tariff bill. If they
offer no amendments themselves. amend
ments offered by republicans will con-
front them, and il such amendments are
even In part agreeable to them and to
their constituents brief explanation
might be advisable.
For an instance: Let us suppose the
caucus ratifying the Presidents demand
for free wool. and an amendment coming
mp in the open Senate laying a duty on
raw wool A democratic senator in favor
of a wool duty might explain in casting
his vote that he was obeying the caucus
mandate and not his individual convic
tons Or suppose a similar case respect
ing sugar. Democratic senators opposed
to wiping out the cane and the beet sugar
industries-as the sugar men declare will
be the result of free sugar-might make
their positions plain by an explanation.
Shall we see this done? II the republic
can senators maneHver properly they may
force such performances. The caucus has
shielded some things. but not all. There
are democratic senators opposed to free
wool. and others opposed to free sugar
and still others opposed to other items i'm
the bill as revised by the caucus And a
debate searchingly conducted by the OPP
position would reveal the true situation
all around.
In this business the Senate democrats
have followed party usage in this coun-
try. When the republicans are in control
of Congress and responsible for leg.sla-
ton. and find differences of opinion in the
household as to what should be done on
issues of importance. they close the doors
and consult together. Tu quoque. it is
true. Is no argument. but is a very hui
man reply. and often made. But caucus
action renewable in public. as in the
present case need not hide anything II is
really important for the public to know.
