False Leaders Dnhorsed.

The bosses were not febuked; they we're ignored
The people took the campaign into their own hands
They made the nominations At the primaries and e-
nored the advice and commands Of the bosses The
people again ignored the bosses election day They
paid little attention to the speeches sermons and ed.
toriais during the campaign They preferred 70 read
about the war in Europe, the championship baseball
games, Of the scssp in Mexico Col Roosevelt at
traeted crowd wherever ne went, but be could not
hold the crowd The people paid him the respect
usually given to any object Of notoreiy gathered to
see him but would not remain to hear him They felt
capable Of making up their minds to how they
should vote without his advice Rooseyelts expert
ence was not different from that Of others who rallied
against the bosses and machines He was simply the
most distinguished Of those who followed the old
rules of the game and attempted 10 boss by abusing
ali other bosses Those old rules may come back
sometime but they did not apply TO the campaign Just
closed The people had selected their bosses, and
they stood BY them .They were operating under new
laws and new constitutional amendment. which pro-
yided for nominations by direct primaries and the
election of Senator's by direct vote The voters were
their own bosses under these new conditions.
The new system may be an improvement on the
old or il may not That is to be tested 1t has, how
ever worked one reform, and that is to retire the
selcoustituted reformers, who have for some years
howled against the old convention system OF nomna
ons and election Of Senators by the legislatures 1t
is easy to pretend to find intrigue in convention
corruption in Legislature but when the charges OF
intrigue and corruption made against the whole
electorate they become absurd though the reforers
were too dull of comprehension to understand. The
new system has brought about the condition where
the reformers in politics must do just what other
politicians do meet the people face to face in the
open and show their wares. They have played the
old holier than thou game to the finish and that IS
something to be thankful for, even by Democrats in
their defeat as well as by Republicans in their VIC
tory.
The Progressives have gone the way of the Popu-
lists and the new order of Prohibtioniss have fallen
into the groove in which the old Prohbitionsts have
Travelled for generation The political line is back
where it was before 1912 between the Republicans
and Democrats, and there it will probably remain
until the people forget the experiences of two years
ago, and new crop of reformers with new political
nostrums, comes along offering to sell the moon
bright big cheese, and sell it for 90 cents Just
we can all rejoice over the reform by the people of
ignoring the reformer bosses The game of hypocrisy
has ended for time at least The old saying of
Lincoln is applicable: You can fool part of the
people all the time and all the people part q the
time but you can't fool all the people all the time

Our Largest Crop.

Mr. Root has told the American Bar Association
about the appalling overproduction of laws. Accord-
ing to count in the Library of Congress, he said,
Congress and the fortyeight State legislatures, in
the FIVE years from 1905 to 1913, inclusive, passed
62oI4 statutes Many of these laws we're ignorantly
or carelessly drafted, no doubt Many others were
iIl-adyised Some were foolish The period men
toned however was notable for its political restless
ness and radical upheaval-a fact explaining some
what the legislative fecundity of the time. The es.
tabIishnent of expert permanent bureaus for the aid
of lawmakers in drafting bills hawless in terms and
afording them accurate information on legislative
subjects would not lessen the production of new
statutes; they might even increase the output, in
ease the sprit of the time was ofsdscontent with
the existing order-Springfed Republican.

Dewey, Submarine Foreea,t.

The activity of German submarines has recalled
to Willard D. Vandiver, former Congressman from
West Virginia, and member of the House Naval
Affairs Committee, a prophecy by Admiral Dewey
during the tests Of the Holland submarine boat IN
coming when the submarine would put the expensive
steel-armored battleship out of business According
to Mr. YanGiyer, who is nov an assistant United
States treasurer and in charge Of the ST. Louis sub
treasury IN III interview in the Republic of that city
the success of the experiment so impressed Admiral
Dewey that he declared that if two vessels of this
type had been in the harbor OF Manila when ne
sailed in he would not have dared enter. Mr. Van
diver said that the admiral stated moreover, that
four craft of the Holland type could protect New
York Harbor from the attack of any powers navy

said, OF penetrating "a piece OF teak one

Robert Bacon, former Secretary of State and
former United States Ambassador to France, says
in a formal statement:
Signs are not wanting that the people of this
country unwilling to submit much longer to the
injunction laid upon them that neutrality shold
impose upon silence regarding aspects of the
European war with which We have vital concern.
There are many men who consider that this nation
is shirdng its duty BY maintaining policy which
may be interpreted giving tact assent to in
volving us morally and much more intimately than
has yet been expressed These men believe that we
have high responsibility in upholding the treaties
wlTchsweFe signed at the Second Conference at The
Hague IN 1907 and ratified by the United States and
the nations now at war.

many's treatment Of Belgium. merely emphasizes the
difficuies besetting our government IN maintaining
its atttude Of neutrality. II cannot possibly adjust
