A NECESSARY REFORM.

In his speech at the Republican CluD
dinner last Saturday evening Presi-
dent Taft referred to problem whlch
must be faced in reorganizing and re-
! inforcing the Republican party. de
said that ii had been suggested that
many dissatisfied Republicans would
come back if different rule could be
put in force "by which the reduction
of Southern representation could be
secured and q fairer method Of select
ling the candidate for President by
.'the Republican party could he had.
For himself, he remarked. he had no
objection ito any method which shall
! be fair"
1t will hardly be disputed that the
Republican campaign of 1912 was
handicapped by the widespread con-
viction. not that Mr. Taft's nomination
was accomplished irregularly or I'M
fairly. but that the method Of repre-
sentation sanctioned by party law and
precedent was outworn and unsuitable
Mr.. Taft's title was as sound as the
title Of any other Republican Presiden-
tial nominee. but many Republicans
were dissatisfied with the old rule
which allotted representation on a
geographical basis without reference
10 voting power. The party fell at last
victim to the short sightedness Of its
leaders, who had failed in 1908 to
remedy an acknowledged weakness in
the scheme Of party government But
the responsibility for that failure lies
/ as much at the door Of those who left
the organization last year as NJ the
! door of those who remained I'm and
supported Mr.. Taft.
In 1908, when the national conyen-
ton had a chance TO establish more
equal and practicable basis Of repre-
sentation, The Tribune expressed its
regret that the opportunity was not
seized. We foresaw that the old sys-
fem of giving inflated and fictitious
power to skeleton organizations IN
many states would one day divide the
party by giving a defeated candidate
and his followers a pretext for seed
ing. Now the split has come and the
conditions complained Of in the over
represented states have gone from bad
10 worse II needs no argument to
show that Mississippi, casting 1857
votes for the Republican Presidential
ticket. should not have equal repre-
sentation In the national convention
. with Kansas, casting IA S44 votes;
that Georgia, casting 5,191 should not
have as much power as New Jersey,
casting So 35, or that Texas, casting
i2S.9l3. should have four times as much
,power as Oregon, casting 34,673. The
Istates Of South Carolina, Georgia.
Florida. Alabama, Mississippi, Louisi-
ana and Texas cast 540S2 votes sii
ltold FOR the Republican national ticket.
Yet these states have 162 delegates In
Republican national conventions, while
New York, casting 45542S votes, has
only ninety.
! IL IS self-evfdent that a change in the
basis of representation should be made
Tin order TO keep the convention more
lin touch with the Republican voters
IUnder the present order there is no in
centtve 10 an increase in the party S
vote I'm the backward states. A pre-
MUM Is put upon stagnation. A new
system should be devised which will
reward energy and growth by giving
greater power 10 states and districts in
which Republicanism is most militant
and most fiourishing.

LINCOLN misunderstood.

The iiftieth anniversary Of the Proc
lamaion Of Emancipation has devel-
oped a rather curious disposition to
speak slghtingy Of Mr.. Lincoln's
courage and devotion TO freedom be
cause Of the careful limitation OF his
act freeing the slaves 10 the territory
in insurrection. Undoubtedly that attl-
tude OF mind existed during the Civil
War among those TO whom abolition
was the supreme object. transcending
constitutional government or the pres.
ervation Of the Union. But those who
see timldity In the failure TO proclaim
universal emancipation do not appre-
ciate the legal basis Of Mr.. Lincoln's
act.
The Emancipation Proclamation was
on exercise OF military power over a
district which the President ruled not
as constitutional executive but under
martial law. It's legal justification
was that il was an act Of military
necessity. In the theatre OF war con-
stltutiopal guarantees were suspended
and life and property were subject 10
the orders Of the commander in chief.
In that district he could order a slave
freed. just as he could order the arrest
OF troublesome or traitOrous civilian.
But he had no power TO order the free
ing Of a slave In border state where
the civil law was In operation. Eman-
cipatiOn could come there only by the
regular amendment Of laws or cOnstI-
buttons. The President was as help
less TO change the status Of slaves In
Delaware az any private citizen. His
authority over the subject was purely
military. IT might have been construed
10 extend to the places occupied by
federal troops. which were exempted
from the proclamation, but their in
cluslon would have raised questions Of
the superiority Of civil or military law
had been restored, such as arose be-
tween General Jackson and the Loulsi-
ana courts In 1915 This was wisely
avoided by combining the use Of the
commander in chiefs powers to the
territory where his right to give the
order was unassailable.
Mr.. Lincoln followed doctrines long
before laid down on the subject. In
1912 John Quincy Adams in the House
OF Representatives pointed out that,
while slavery was inviolable in peace.
either rebellion or servile war that
forced interference by the federal gov
eminent to protect the slave states
would make the laws Of war supreme
in the troubled district and give the
President power to order the enamel
patton 0f the slaves. He referred to
the abolition decree of Bolivar and the
counter abolition decree Of the Spanish
General Morillo in the South American
revolution. and showed how freedom,
having been ordered rs an act Of war,
continued TO be the law when peace
had been established. This speech OF
Adams was recalled by an editorial
article In The Tribune entitled John
Quincy Adams on Slavery Emancipa-
''tion as Affected by War;" on Septem-
Der 1. 1861. This editorial was placed,
with some supplementary material. in
the hands OF Charles Sumner who used
II in speech before the Massachu-
sets State Convention on October l.,

WATER GATE SEPARATE PROJECT

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Some days ago there appeared In
the press articles about the National
Water Gate, in memory of Robert Fulton,
which were misleading The water gate
is not TO be combined with the stadium
purposed to be erected by Columbia Uni
versity. II is a separate project alto
gether, will be built six blocks further
down the river. and any statements to
the contrary are false.
So many persons have asked me what
the truth of the matter is that I would
ask you to publish this correction at as
early a date az possible.
