One Agency to Trail and JAN the
GrafterS.

Several difficulties in connection with the Assem-
,~,. nronosal for an investigation of the highway
,rsft nv special committee OF that body are mann
Tost Not the least of them is the fact that 'niS
roo,bod unusual in legislative procedure mere
,vorld ,revitably be stamped playing pohucs'
7-here f. much question about the possioihty VI
obtaining funds TO finance statewide inVesuga-
ton conducted in that manner against the approve"
os the Democratic Senate. Also, there Is some
,ioubt whether counsel for such committee wouiu
have the absolute power required for the unuer
taking
There IS no doubt about the desirabiity or one
comprehensive statewide graft hunt District Az
tornev Whitmans John Doe probe. with the ac-
companying indictments found by the grand jury
nroves the case He has been able to do great
deal here other county prosecutors have been aoie
TO do their part elsewhere. Even the Glynn lnVeS-
tiration conducted by Mr. Osborne is showing
progress now. But all Of these agencies or justice
are inadequate TO complete the task which eacn
fresh exposure Of boodling shows to be no less
important, If less imposing as to sums OF money
involved than the task of investigating the lnsur-
ance scandals.
There seem to be two possible ways of securing
the most farreaching exposure and promptest con-
viction Of grafters. One is that already rejected
by Governor Glynn-the designation of District AL
torney Whitman as a special assistant Attorney
General TO follow the grafters wherever they may
have gone. 1t Is idle for the Governor and the
Attorney General to say that this is impossible or
illegal because it never done before Until
they show clearly that it violates SPECIFIC statutes
or the constitution, it still remains a possibility
which the public will consider. This would meet
the situations demands and, since 1t would permit
Mr. Whitman to continue in still wider field the
work he is now doing so successfully, it would be
entirely satisfactory to the public. The other is
full and sweeping investigation by a Joint COM
mttee of the Legislature. There could be no
.politics" in that because OF the opposite political
faiths Of the two houses There could be no doubt
about the powers Of such a committee nor the
ease of providing funds for the work. If Mr. Whit
man could serve as counsel for that committee, so
much the better, for then its work could supersede
his John Doe inquiry, the Osborne investigation at
Albany and unity all the endeavors to turn up the
graft trail.
Either Of these methods seems preferable to an
Assembly committee investigation. That would be
too likely only to put another agency into field
where too many agencies are at work and
bring fresh confusion. The public wants the work
done promptly and simply. The thing is too big
for politics playing. Such smalness has more
place in It than has any effort by Democrat or
Republican to protect erring party brother. The
public wants the grafters traied and Jailed. If
Whitman be in charge Of the Job for the entire
state, the public knows that will be done.

THE MUCH ABUSED TANGO
Why Visit Upon 1t the Sins Of the

Sir: Why is it that the newspapers

I'm calling all the new dances-no matter
what their true names may be-"the
tango" until now the world in general
looks upon the tango" as vulgar, SEN
sual dance. when. as a matter Of fact, 1t
is anything but that? The tango Is
beautiful. graceful and harmless dance
more dignifed, when danced by the ex-
pert, than the stately minuet Why these
other dances so by the name of tango"
is more than ] can understand. as 1t is
danced but very little, comparatively
speaking, on the ballroom floor. IL is far
too difficult for the uninitiated and re-
quires too much free room.
/ agree with most critics that the 'tur-
key trot" and most of the dances Of that
ilk can be danced, and often are. in
most disgusting manner, and at the best
are not beautiful, graceful or dignined.
But please don't visit the sins OF these

The President and the Canal Toll JusgIe

According to The Tribune's Washington CORE
spondent President Wilson stands ready to facili-
tate the passage of the Adamson bill, suspending
the free tolls to coastwse shipping clause of the
Panama Canal law. That clause is a fat violation
Of the letter and spirit of the Hay Pauncefote
treaty. Secretary Hay certainly never had it in
mind when he signed the treaty that American
vessels should not be placed absolute equality
with foreign vessels in the use of the canal and in
the payment of tolls for that service.
The exemption of American coastwise trade yes
sells from ordinary canal charges practically giving
that highly protected trade an additional direct
government subsidy, was an afterthought 1t was
q pretext seized upon in Congress by Eastern inter
ests which wanted TO commit the country to the
policy Of ship subsidies and by Western interests
which wanted to have the government pay part
Of the freight charges on goods shipped by way Of
Panama to the Pacific Coast.
This combination controlled Congress In 1912 and
wrote a violation Of the ay-Pauncefote treaty
into the Panama Canal act. 1t also got plank

More Reform Among the Aldermen.

When the Board of Aldermen voluntarily pro-
poses to give up the aldermanic power over the
licensing of newspaper, fruit and bootback stands,
as an ordinance presented by Mr.. Curran, majority
leader provides it is proof positive that the spirit
of reform has permeated the City, Fathers This
is thing which manifestly ought to be done 1t
has been proposed often There is no excuse for
the existing system, which requires permission
from the district alderman as well as a license
from the License Bureau before a newsstand may
be opened. Yet heretofore the aldermen have chung
TO their rights in the matter-which aren't rights
at all-with death grip.
The ordinance should be, and doubtless will be,
passed Under the changed conditions these small
merchants will be relieved Of graft or political in
timidation, the aldermen will be relieved of sus-
picion of clinging to this anomalous function for
personal revenue only, and responsibility for the
issuance Of the licenses will be concentrated
where it belongs. If the aldermen keep on doing
things like this, they will make people respect them
in spite of the boards past performances

A REPUBLICAN LAMENTATlON
The Sad Doings of the Democrats as an
Opponent Sees Them.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Many of the newspapers are en-
gagged in the effort TO bolster up the VIII
son administration. But house built
upon sand" cannot stand.
Wilson and Bryan have sand" a-plenty
but sand" makes a poor foundation, as
we are told OF old. The legislation that
has been rushed" by the Wilson admin
istrat ion may be likened TO the growth "
a weed. We all know that weed re-
qures no cultivation.
The bundered income tax. the aboruve
tariff, the yelled" currency law and,
worst Of all, the sundry civil bill, with
the labor-farmer exemptions from prose-
cutlon. are all specimens Of rushed" leg
islation, and the harvest is to come-vide
.he strike on the Delaware & Hudson and
the railroad company's fear that the gov
eminent could not sustain them In their
unquestoned right Such is government
under the Wilson administration. And,
who knows. perhaps. worse to come. And
think of Pindelli Isn't 1t awful? Alack
the day when the American voter put out
Taft, who didn't want it, and put in Will
son and Bryan, who wanted 1t bad
But all the bolsterlng and all the plau-
dts of sycophants. parasites and office
seekers begging for crumbs can't build a
successful administration out Of incompe-
tence. greed and conceit. Some wise man
once said, I'VE must learn to think hum
bly, of ourselves before the divine strength
can be perfected in us" And that wise
saying might be commended TO President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan.
