The Aigrette Affair.

Indignation over the action of the New
York customs inspectors who Saturday
last tore aigrettes from women's hats Is
a matter entirely apart from the ques-
ton Of the righteousness Of the wearing
of such garments. 1t is immaterial that
these aigrettes were torn from the breasts
of herons In circumstances of great
cruelty. The point to. be borne chiefly In
mind is that the men who took 1t upon
themselves to interpret the new tariff law
were doing that for which they had no
specific warrant and were contributing by
their unjustified conduct to feeling of re-
sentiment against all customs inspection
and collection. The Star has long been an
advocate of the very protective measures
which have now eliminated in the pro-
portations of this country. 1t worked for
the adoption of the anti-aigrette para
graph Of the tariff bill and it rejoiced
when 1t was finally insured. Neverthe-
less, it feels that whether the law as II
stands is designed against aigrettes worn
in hats or only against those imported
in wholesale quantities a serious blunder
was made on Saturday in New York by
those who undertook without instructions
and on their own authority to enforce
the law as they conceived IT. No warn
ing had been given that the new act was
IN effect, and the descent upon these pas
sengers with a wrestling violently of
feathers from their hats was an outrage
which The Star. still insists deserves the
sharpest reprimand.

A Spells Acknowledgment.

Frank acknowledgment of the purpose
aud effect of the amendment to the de-
friency bin which was adopted by the
Senate and is now subject OF serious
consideration by the House membership
and by the President is to be found In
the following comment by the Houston
Post,
The Senate committee on appropria-
tons believes in opening a way for letting
more democrats get to the federal pie
table Hence Ii has added a provision to
the urgent deficiency appropriation bill
t,rkfng practically all deputy marshals
and deputy collectors of Internal revenue
out of the protection of civil service and
collectors OF Internal revenue to revoke
the appointment of any subordinate Off
Ger. or employee and appoint his successor
at discretion without regard to the civil
service laws or regulations. To the VIC
tors belong the spells, Is sound Jack
soptan- philosophy. Why should a man
heHl responsible for the faithful admin
tstration of his Office have to undergo the
risk of being handicapped by underIings
opposed to him in political faith?''
This IS an interesting admixture of ex-
cusse. II Is asserted first of all and I'M
blushingly that Ito the victors belong the
spoils.' Then II is sought to suggest that
there is danger to good administration in
having an official served by "underlings
opposed TO him in political faith" No
one With the least sense of humor can
avert smile when contemplating the
depforable plight OF the democratic Of
fichaf charged with the collection of the
Internal revenue who has to give orders
TO a republican. The spoilsmen in Con-
gress. who are seeking to throw down the
merit system barriers, are not well serv.
ed by their friends.

Let Us Have a Quorum.

AIR Mann is right-entirely right. No
legislation without representation. SEN
ators and representatives should remain
on the Job. Let them either muster the
nerve to adjourn and go home. or stay at
their posts and attend to business.
IT is no secret that the great majority
of them are heartily tired Of the session.
They have been at work for six months,
Part Of the time with the mercury In the
nfneties. They have accomplished what
@hey had in mind when they assembled.
\ new tariff law is on the books, and
they think they are entitled to a breath
i4S spell before the day appointed for
the regular session.
But the President objects. He has set
a new task for. the class. and insists that
ii mast be performed before dismissal
time. No complaining. No Sinking.
Legislators who have left town have
done so.1in the spirit of not caring
WHETHER school keeps or not. They have
other fish to fry, and have gone about
the business Some are ''mending fences"
Some are laying foundations for re-elec-
top to their present places. or for pro-
motion to other places. AS they feel
about n. the currency, for the time, may
go hang They. fail to see the emergency
the President describes. or else differ with
him about how ii should be met.
But running away and breaking a quo
rIHss is not the proper caper. They ought
effher TO screw their courage UP to the
sticking point and challenge the Presi-
dent to a trial of conclusions, or else obey
his orders and pass his bill. He is out
in the open with his program, and they
should. take the field with theirs.
Staying on the job here need not neces-
sarily mean quick action by the Senate
should not be- taken. For not only is the
problem most complex and important, but
burh-parties are divided on it. The bank
ing world is. in fever Of protest against
what it conceives to be the political pos
sfbilities, and even designs, of the bill the
administration wants passed. and the
commercial world is much disturbed. The
utmost pains should be taken, therefore,
to examine all objections to the measure.
abd meet them when it is shown they
are well founded.
The tariff bill as all now see, received
no more time than was necessary. AS 1t
passed "the House 1t was a crude per-
Torrance; and even the Senate. after
effects and antiquities. Experts are
already busy trying to puzzle out the
meanings and effects Of some of its pro-
visions. Infinitely more harm would re-
suit from a confused and defective cur
reney. measure than from botched tariff
measure.

The Menace.

Consider the emotions Of the New York
pitcher who in a pinch in a world series
game sees standing before him IN the
batter's box one ]. Franklin Baker! he
has a distinct recollection of the misfor-
tunes that have befallen other pitchers
in such games in the past. Mayhap ne
has himself had such a misfortune MINI
self. Shall 1t be a high fast ball, or d
low curve, "teaser'' floating just over
the outer corner, or q swift inshoot:
And what is most important, whatever
It should be, to give the greatest chance
of eluding the big stick that awaits SO
menacingly, can the pitcher deliver just
that sort of ball to the eager mitt of the
catcher whose signals have flickered ad-
vice and admonition?
This J. Franklin Baker person has be-
come the permanent terror OF New YORK
pitchers. On previous occasions he mas
destroyed hopes of world honors. Yes
terday he had another chance to put his
team in the front in the big contest, and
he improved it. The ball he hit hardest
and most effectively went sailing over
into the stands, and two runs resulted,
enough as it proved to give the first VIC
tory of the series to Philadelphia. But
quite as important as the merit or WIN
ming that first game was the demonstra-
ton that the Baker bat is still potential
for trouble for the pitchers of the other
side. Two years have elapsed since 1t
was last in action in a world series. Some
doubters had prophesied that there were
no more round-trip punches in that big
stick Would Baker live UP to his repu-
tation as a game wrecker? Such a repu-
tation is often a. hard thing to maintain,
but Baker has done it. He may not make
another home run during the remainder
of the series. but he has at least stilled
the voices of the misanthropes who
averred that he could not come back.
Pity the poor pitcher who must con-
front that combination in any Of the re-
naming games Of this great climactic
contest of the ball tossers.

Putting Physicians on Salary.
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript
1t may be accepted as evidence Of the
observation-disclosures Of the medical profess
sion that the State Medical Society of
Wisconsin has this week had under dis
cussion the question Of adopting in a
modified form the Chinese plan OF paying
doctors for their services by putting them
on a salary and making no payments
when their patrons are sick This, 1t has
been claimed. would eliminate the quack
and prevent the doctor from prolonging
cases under his charge for the purpose of
fattening his fees. We do not believe that
there Is much OF the latter kind of fraud
perpetrated. except in the cases Of some
patients who enjoy poor health and like
to have their maladies. real or imaginary,
objects of the physicians constant inter-
est and attention. This class Is gener-
ally willing and able to pay for the lux
TRY. On the whole we believe the old
way Is the better one, though DISPOSE
ton to be jealous of the ethics Of the pro-
fession Is a good sign.

Democracy Marked Down.
From the Pittsburgh Dlspatch

In other days the limit Of true democ-
racy took the form of dollar dinners. But
Secretary of the Interior Lane has mark
ed them down to so cents. Learning that
the Denver Chamber Of Commerce pur-
posed entertaining him at $3.50 q plate
banquet, he promptly declined unless the
price was brought within the reach of
everybody. He declared he wanted to
meet as many people as possible and
wanted nothing to prevent the humbiest
citizen from coming to see him. The
chamber of commerce accordingly reduced
the tariff to the half-dollar rate
The news dispatch sheds no light on
the important and interesting question
whether the menu was similarly cur
tailed. There must be a natural public
curiosity to know whether Denver fed
the Secretary a $50 dinner for so cents
or cut the bill of fare to suit the price.
