Fair Treatment for the Horses.

a horseman and a horse lover in New
York has asked attention there to the
matter of nosebags, saying now that the
hot days of summer are drawing near
won't you kindly lend your assistance in
an effort to discourage as far as possible
the almost universal use of the nosebag
as means of feeding the work horses of
this city? Most of these smothering
denominations fit closely around the
horses head, admitting a very made
quate supply OF air." The work horse
has more troubles than most men think
of. His lunch time is one brief respite In
his day of toll. The nosebag is a useful
institution in way, but it is not the
most comfortable thing for a horse on a
hot day. 1t may fit too tight. his muz-
zle may be damned too far into the oats
and other things may happen. All APP
proved nosebags have a little ventilator
in them. That helps some. especially il
it is turned to the front. In. the streets
of Washington may often be seen nose
bags reversed-put on hind part before,
with the ventilator exactly where it
should not be. 1t is also not an unusual
thing to see a poor horse standing pa
tiently and abjectIy with Il nosebag Oh
after having finished his midday oats or
shelled coru. This is also season when
horse owners should know whether their
animals are overdriyen and overloaded
and whether they get enough water
Watering troughs are everywhere about
the city and there ought not TO be a
thirsty horse in the streets of Washing

The historic struggle is drawing to a
close and the world in general and the
United States in particular wishes happi-
ness and prosperity to Ireland. The home
rule cause has always had in the United
States a stanch and practical friend. and
the course of nationalism in Ireland has
been followed by The Star with keen and
svmpathetic interest. When Prime Min
lister Gladstone introduced his first home
rule bill in 1886 America applauded' and
when that bill was killed in the house OF
commons at its second reading America
grieved. In the years of agitation and
discussion which interviewed between the

people of the United States followed the
matter with close attention. That bill
passed the third reading in the house OF
commons September l. 1895. but a week
later was rejected by the house of lords
by the crushing vote of 40 to fl. More
years of discussion followed, and 1t was
on April II. 1912, that the third home rule
bill was introduced by Premier Asaulth.

The house of commons passed the bill

house of lords week later again re-

another democratic Congress. and MI.
Wilson reelected. Mr.. Penrose is opposed
to the administration. and hopes to see 1t
rebuked this year and again in 1918.
If Mr. Palmer confines himself on the
stump to what in Pennsylvania and as
applied to Pennsylvania affairs is called
Penroseism, he will rob himself of texts
which. as an administration democrat,
nominated for senator by administration
influences he should use. The admins
tration claims that. in a brief period.
tn, ough the power of the new leader
ship, it has put important laws on the
books. and made possible other legislation
for which the country is clamoring. 1t
is proud of tine record and asks indorse-
ment on It in November.
As a member Of the House Mr. Palmer
has helped make the record. and il elect
ed to the Senate he will be as faithful
a follower of Mr.. Wilson there.
All OF this must come out as the Penn
sylvania campaign progresses. There are
local features which will receive atten-
ton. A governor is to be elected, and
Pennsylvania affairs will dominate the
gubernatorial contest But in the sena-
torial contest national affairs will. and
should have the call: and the voters
will want to hear the tariff. the trusts
and our foreign relations discussed.
Mr.. Penrose is seeking reelection on
his vote against the Underwood tariff
law. and on his contention that the ad-
minis;rations foreign policies have in
vovcd the country in difficulties. and
subjected il to very .unfavorabe crit
icisms abroad Mr. Palmer is seeking to
suppiant him as senator on his vote in
the House for the Underwood law, and
or his contention that the administra-
ton's whole course TO date. in both do
nestle and foreign affairs. has been both
creditable to the democratic party and of
great advantage to the country.

New York and Canal Tolls.

Objection is made in bull moose circles
to the suggestion of the name of Oscar
Straus in connection with the senatorial,
race in New York. He is on the wrong
side of the canal tolls question. He has
taken stand in favor of repeal, and by
so doing repudiated the Chicago plat
form. as Mr.. Wilson has the Baltimore
platform. Thus is added a new feature
to the remarkable New York mix-up.
Mr.. Root is the head and front of the
repeal movement He revived it after
Great Britain practically had abandoned
it. But for his attitude, the present
contest would not have come into ex-
stence.
Pressure would not have been brought
TO bear to force Mr.. Wilson to change his
attitude. And vet the New York fepubli-
cans have not as a body declared for
repeal Some prominent men amon- them
are strongly opposed to it.
The leader of the anti-repeal forces in
the Senate is Mr.. OGorman, who has
sarl. not only that the repeal PROPOSE
ton is un-American. but that if it is
passed under White House pressure the
people will rebuke the action at the poll.
He speaks as a democrat. and moreover
as member of the committee which
framed the Baltimore platform He ex-
hibits no little feeling on the subject.
And yet Mr.. Wilson's friends are ex-
pecting the rank and file of the New
York democracy to line up behind the
President in the matter next Novem-
her. In the contest between him and
Mr. O'Gorman they are backing Mr.. Will
son TO win.
Two years ago Mr.. Straus was the bull
York. standing. without criticism of any
of its planks. on the Chicago bull moose
platform. When and why he changed
his mind on canal tolls. rejecting the
bull moose declaration and accepting that
of Mr.. Root and Mr.. Wilson. is not known.
At any rate. now that the fact is known
prominent bull moose New Workers con-
denim Mr.. Straus. and express the opin-
ion that hts shift of foot on canal tolls
takes him out of the bull moose equation
for senator.
The extent to which the tolls question
will enter into the New York campaign
is conjectural. Mr.. O'Gorman has de-
clared that in the campaign of two years
ago it was an inspiring American note -
Is 1t not more inspiring now? Then 1t
represented something nearly everybody
thought we had perfect right to do.
Now it represents that plus a strong
resentment against the outside influences
that have combined to shape American
politics, and make us undo a matter OF
large domestic concern and confess a
violation of national faith-keeping
Much has been asserted and proved
against the repeal proposition in the
senate debate which will make mighty
interesting reading" next fall, not to
mention the arguments of Speaker Clark
and the two House leaders. Mr.. Under
wood and Mr.. Mann. who examined the
question from every angle. diplomatic
economic, legal and patriotic. If the
Senate concurs in the House action OF
unconditional repeal. the campaign. in
New York and elsewhere, will hum with
the subject.

Britain at San Francisco.

The decision of the British govern
ment not to participate in the Pan
ama-Pacific exposition Is regrettable,
but will cause no halt in the prepara-
tions for that great exposition, and
will have little effect on its magnitude
1t is believed that the principal re-
greet for British non-pa rticipation will
finally be felt by British subjects, and
especially by those who visit the fair
Early in May it was announced over
the cable that the decision which the
English government reached a year
or SO ago not to participate In the
worlds fair at San Francisco would be
reconsidered. and the hope was ex-
pressed that the adverse decision would
be reversed The Star in commenting
on this probable change said that the
previous decision of the British gov
eminent not to take part in the Pan
anna exposition was based on nothing
more than WEAKNESS with worlds fairs
and the cost of participation in them.
The decision was greeted at the time
throughout the British islands with
hostile criticism. the critics admitting
that the worlds fair business had be-
come somewhat of a bore, but that in
the case of the Panama exposition the
British government had drawn the line
at the wrong fair, and it was con-
sidered only a question Of time when
the government would reverse its posi-
ton" Public opinion in the British isles
and oversee dominions may yet induce
the British cabinet to alter its view
of the situation. Participation by the
