THE Presidency was not created
for the purpose Of peddling out its
influences and prestige in exchange
for the doubtful support Of selfish
politicians. The President is the
leader of the Democratic party, II Is
true. He wishes it to remain in con-
troll Of national affairs. But his
! generalship does not extend to the
! waging of questionable campaigns In
! local districts, where loot is the
prize sought for, instead of honor
able party service for the public
welfare"
Veteran observers of political az
fairs agreed with The Post that the
President acted unwisely in yielding
to the opportunities of self-seeking
| politicians, and thereby lowering the
tone of the great office he holds; but
the counsel of indiscretion pre-
vailed, and many letters were writ

dent would make list of the persons
who misled him by fattery and false
information regarding public opinion,
who wheedled him into indorsing UNI
worthy candidates; who induced him
to risk his own popularity as an is
sue in the campaign. These very
persons, now that they have used the
President, are now proclaiming that
Tuesdays election is a direct rebuke
TO the administration, and a com
mand that destructive policies shall
be abandoned. They see the hand
writing on the wall and do not hest
tate to desert the leader they mis-
led and misused.
All patriotic Americans deplore an,
action tending to lower the dignit,

EDITORIAL OPINION
OUT OF THE PUBLIC's POCK

OUT OF THE PUBLIC'S POCKET.
From the New York Tribune.
The Pennsylvania Railroad has
much justification for its campaign
to have the so-called full crew law
repealed by the next Legislature.
This statute costs this line more
than S1,OOOOOO a year for the en-
ployment Of men whose services the
officials consider unnecessary to the
operation of the road or to the safety
of passengers. The other railroads
in the State bear a like burden.
The money thus spent would con-
tribute much more to safety If il
we're spent in improving roadbed
and rolling stock and removing grade
crossings. All railroads are being hit
hard by existing financial conditions
so that they are endeavOring to raise
freight and passenger rates. II
seems foolish to compel by law
huge expenditure annually, the wis
dom of which is doubtful, when the
money to pay for it must come Sc
directly out of the public's pocket.

latter's second Presidential term. He
chose TO ignore them, and is now be-
ginning to pay the penalty for too
blind confidence in himself. The
country having repudiated him, his
own party is likely to weary of him

AS JUDGE, JURY
AND PROSECUTOR.

From the West Chester Star
The railroads now appearing be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Com
mission for increased rates are not
there as defendants in a civil or
criminal action. They have not been
indicted for any crime and they have
not been summoned to defend q suit
for damages. No bail has been, re-
quired, no attachments have been
made, no jury has been empanelled.
The commission itself sits not as
court but as an administrative body.
Nevertheless. the commission ap-
pears with highly paid special coun-
sci who examines and cross-ex-
amines the spokesman for the petit
toners. precisely as II the roads
were parties defendant In a criminal
action and as if the commission sat
not merely as a judge but as prose
cutor and jury.
The rate-regulating powers OF the
commission of late have been made
TO take some extraordinary turns, but
none quite so extraordinary as this.

REPEAL 4 BAD LAW.

chief concern is good service and
