Love and Money.

A grande passion can put up with
almost anything and not notice it; it
can even put up with keeping ac-
pen that dinner and the play, with at
tendant details, cost $S.65, though that
looks as If one had bought pleasure
at department store. The grande
passion can do more; 1t can stop at
home cheerfully If dinner and the play
are too expensive. What the grande
passion cannot do is to say, $50 much
for you and so much for me-" Romeo
is not disillusioned by the perception
that he has less money to spend, now
that he has married Juliet; and Juliet
does not grow wistful because Romeo
runs an account at the butchers in
stead of at the florists. 1t cannot be
denied that Romeo sometimes regrets
the account at the florists, and that
Juliet sometimes wishes that Romeo
had not to pay her bills. But that is
another matter. When, however, hus-
band and wife begin to discuss an
allowance" they are already long
way from Already. Let Romeo and
Juliet arrange their budget as they
wfll-arranging budget might be a
very pretty nursery game-so long as
arranging it is for them, part of the
high humor of life. When they come
to it with grim faces, or when either
accuses the other Of inconsiderate-
ness or extravaganza, it is time to
call in the apothecary.-TheA Atlantic.

CONDITION OF CROPS
As Shown By Official Report of Ohio
Agricultural Commission December
1st, 1913.

Growing wheat shows same condi-
tion as reported one month ago-101
per cent. On corresponding date in
1912 condition was estimated at 92
per cent compared with an average.
Damage to growing plant by Hessian
fly is slight. Of the production of
recent harvest, Al per cent. was sold
as soon as threshed.
Ohio's corn production shows a
marked decline from the abundant
harvest of last year. The total pro-
duction for the state is estimated at
108,864, ,120 bushels. The state aver
age production per acre is estimated
at SO bushels. Last year at this time
the average production per acre was
estimated at 40 bushels, with total
estimated production of l27, 1865, ,844
bushels. Of the present crop it is
estimated that 9 per cent, was put
into silos. The average date of crib
bing was October II. The present
market value of corn is estimated at
sc cents per bushel. On December 1,
1912, the market value was estimated
at 49 cents per bushel.
Tobacco production is estimated at
718 pounds per acre, as against 789
pounds per acre reported last year.
The number of cattle being fed for
market shows a slight increase over
one year ago, while less number of
sheep are being fed for mutton in
comparison with last year.
The, rather low yield of the apple
crop for 1913 is due to several causes
chief of which were two severe
freezes which came at critical periods
in the Spring of the year. The last
one came after the young fruits had
begun to develop. The injury was
greatest throughout the southern and
eastern part of the state. The crop
was further depleted by the extend
ed drought of the summer, prevent
ing the apples from attaining nor
NAL size. The drop was also due to
the same cause. The bulk of the
crop for the state was harvested prin-
cipally in the northern mart of the
state, but scattered crops of import
ance were harvested in different parts
off, the state. In spite of the fact
that the crop is one of the Hghtest
in recent years, prospects are very
good for the, greatest apple show
ever held in the state. This occurs
in Cleveland commencing January
20th, 1914.

Senator Cummins and some Of his fellow Pro
Gressve Republicans are going to make another
appeal for special Republican National Conven-
ton to be held this fall. The impression has been
given in most Washington dispatches that a con
vention If called by the national committee, would
necessarily be held next year" But that does not
follow from the text Of the instructions given 10
Chairman HilleS.
He is TO call the national committee together
within sixty days" after the adjournment Of the
present session of Congress. The session may end
in August and It will he in the power Of the
chairman TO act within two days thereafter If he
wishes to do So 1t would be easy enough to get
the convention in session about three months there
after, so that reasonably prompt action may be e1-
pected Under such circumstances it will make
little difference whether the convention is credited

Jury Reform Deformed by Politics.

Jury reform i'm New Jersey has fallen between
two stools The measure, greatly needed and re-
peatedly demanded by the people. and advocated by
President Wilson in one Of the most extraordinary
campaigns ever made by a President of the United
States has been sacrificed to the rivalries Of two
Democratic candidates for the GovernOrship. The
removal Of the jury system from politics has been
defeated by purely political considerations That is
the net result
It is true that two bills have been enacted. but
neither of them is adequate TO the needs Of justice
One, advocated by President wison-and by Mayor
Wittpenn, who would like to be Governor-was
amended by the foes of jury reform into unsatsfac
tory shape and was then passed in manner which
IS quite likely to be pronounced unconstitutional
And If It is not thus thrown out it will not 90
into effect until again adopted by popular referen
dum which adoption It is not likely TO get
The other BILL advocated by Governor Fielder
who would like to be reelected-goes into effect at
once and will afford some degree Of reform, but is
very far from being what the people want. There
is, however no question that It was cOnstituonaly
enacted The Governor saw TO that. For that rea
son Mr. Fielder seems 10 have gained some advan
.tage over Mr.. Wittpenn in the Governorship race
And the latter is the consideration which now most
interests the people who some time ago despaired

The Servo. Bulgarian Dispute.

The ominOus dispute between Servia and Bulgaria
arises from the fact that conditions now are rad
cally different from what was expected when the
treaty of March, 1912. was made between those
states At that time the formation of an indepen-
dent Albanian state was not expected, and It was
assumed that Servia and Montenegro would secure
the northern part Of that country, that Bulgaria
would take the western part of Thrace. that Greece
would taken southern Albania and that Macedonia
would be made an autonomous state. Accordingly
Servla and Bulgaria indicated their spheres Of IN
huence' in Macedonia, with no thought of actual
acquisition Of It.
Now that Servia is barred out OF Albania. she
naturally seeks compensation elsewhere, and dis
likes to see nearly all of the Macedonian territory
which she won from Turkey handed over TO Bull
garia Among the places which Bulgaria claims
under the treaty are Krushevo and Monastir, where
the Servians wrought great deeds Of arms. OF
course, Bulgaria inclines toward fufment Of the
terms Of the treaty and thus there is danger that
the vanqushing Of Turkey by the Balkan allies will
prove to be only the prelude TO much greater
struggle.
Meantime Great Britain takes Cyprus outright
and Austria Hungary arbitrarily seizes Ada-kaleh

the cOniuncture Of Hungary. Rumania and Servia 4;

Mr.. BARNES AS CHAIRMAN
A Frank Reply to Reader Who
Thinks We Confused the Case.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir. VIII you kindly print the following
in your An open Forum for Public De-
bate?
Your editorial on tho 18th inst says Of
Mr. Barnes that as chairman OF the Re
publican State Committee "he continually
rubs the back OF public opinion the wrong
way" and that he belongs to the old
mortality school Of politicians, and New
York in the year 1918 has no place for a
matriculate Of that school perhaps
"old morality school is meant0
You refer to his well known 'laudable
desire 70 heW TO the lines of constitution
alism". and yet. because you feel called
on to say that he has failed to read the
minds of the great majority of his fell
low Republicans and to put his political
conceptions in touch with theirs" you
unhesitatingly add that MIR. Barnes owes
II to his own sense of the proprieties TO
resign"
Then. To- YOU knock these several propo-
sitions altogether into a silly cooked hat
by concluding thus: Yet the state COM
mittee will be fortunate IL II can find TO
take his place a chairman with anything
like his courage, experience and techni-
cal ability"
II IL is not asking too much. will you
ever so kindly inform about million
good enough Republicans just what your
ideal chairman Of the Republican (Em-
pirel State Committee measures up TO?
For If, as you freely intimate. hewiug to
the lines of constitutionalism is IN your
estimation less desirable than so reading
the great majority that the back OF public
opinion shall be gratefully scratched, per-
haps you can readily inform us. who con-
slider your attitude toward Mr.. William
Barnes dead wrong. In such wise that We
may thenceforth perhaps stand corrected
from that profound ignorance of what
constitutes up-to-date newspaper politics
which we perceive distinguishes us quite
persistently-ultra licitum.
ALFRED LAURENS BRENNAN.
New York. May Is, 1913
We probably can best explain the
attitude of the public mind toward the
present state chairman by quoting a
recent remark. attributed to the Hon.
Job Hedges: Mr. Barnes is the man
who made the constitution unpopular"
What constitutionalism needs most
nowadays is champions who can talk
in a language which this generation
understands.
We cannot see any Inconsistency in
saying that Mr.. Barnes had courage,
experience and technical ability as a
party leader" and yet is no longer
available for leadership because he has
got out Of touch with a great ma
jorlty OF his fellow Republicans.
Uncle Joe" Cannon had courage, ex-
perience and technical skilr' as a leader
in the House of Representatives. Yet
the national party would certainly not
welcome his return 10 leadership

Downward Revision of the Cab Tariff

Even if the aldermen had TO be prodded TO do it
and prodded vigorously. too they have finally passed
taxicab ordinance which won't cripple that infant
industry and will help the public The reduction in
fares which will be brought about is not great
enough TO make the taXicab formidable competitor
of the subway but the public has beep gouged by
the companies severely that il VIII hail any
esSening of rates with sigh of thankfulness.
Much more important than the reduction of fares
is the adjustment of the private cab stand-the
system whereby hotels, clubs and big apartment
houses profited richly by renting the citys streets to
the cab companies. 1t was vicious arrangement
vicious alike for the city, the cab companies and
their customers. Under the scheme the cab
companies won't find II necessary to pay big sums TO
the hotels and clubs for their stand privileges. nor
to give annual passes to the managers Neither will
they be able to mOnopolize these stands TO the ex
clusion of the independent cabman Relieved Of
graft and spurred on by competition they may come
to see a possibility of even lower rates than those
set forth in the ordinance.

The charge that a public position was promised
