Jordan to be able, resourceful, popular

and lacks the time. and maybe the dis
position, to discount it properly. Any
man SO placed would be a marvel If he
did not now and then obey the wrong
steer" as to patronage. Even with
the best intentions, he is bound al
times to make mistakes.
The New York. controversy is of the
spoils variety, and therefore the fuller
of danger. The President is expected
to place the patronage at his disposal
where it will do his party the most
good. If it were n matter only of find
ing a competent lawyer of good repute
to represent the government in that
federal judicial district there would be
no difficulty. But the nominee. in addi-
ton to ability and character, should be
acceptable to the regular party organ
ization. and possess more or less of 4
pull himself. In office he should be
able to strengthen his party within the
zone of his service.
There is where the shoe pinches. The
New York regulars contend that the
President has obeyed the wrong
steer; that he has been persuaded to
make war on the men who made him,
and that II he persists in his course he
will injure the New York democracy,
and through it the national democracy.
From their point of view, the President
will himself suffer in the end If he does
not turn from the irregulars to them.
1t is not too late for the President to
turn, although it will not be easy for
him to execute the maneuver. He has
led so aggressively and successfully in
such matters since taking charge, it
may irk him to accept even mild re-
buke.

A White House Caller.

Representative Smith of the Buffalo
district performed valuable service
yesterday when he went TO the White
House and had q heart heart talk
With the President on the subject of
New York patronage. There are no
details but the conversation must have
been interesting. Mr.. Smith had views
and information il was worth the Pres
idents while to consider, while the
President had views and explanations
Of equal Importance TO Mr. Smith. The
probability is that the New York sit
pation will be affected-and maybe. for
the better--by the visit. II at all, for
the better. The situation, from the
democratic point OF view, could not be
worse.
The White House has been called "a
FOOLS paradise" The occupant. while
in one way very powerful, is in another
way very helpless He is forced to
lean upon others for much informant ton
about men and their political strength
and relation. He has g. great many ap-
pointments to make; and the pressure
upon him in some cases is heavy
This makes his calling list long. And
nearly everybody wants something, for
himself or friend. Jollying the Presi-
dent is not only a rule, but regarded
as necessity. He hears only praise

Communication Rate Changes.

By suspending the proposed new Bal
timore and Ohio Communication rates until
April. in order to hear the protests of
commuters, who allege serious discrim-
nations in the new schedule, the inter-
state commerce commission prevents,
or at least postpones, what would seem
to be an injustice against a large num-
Der of railroad patrons. The Baltimore
and Ohio commuters are more fortunate
than those on the Pennsylvania, who
have been denied the relief of a sus-
pension, pending hearing. and advised
to bring forward specific complaints of
discriminatory rates. There is doubt
less good ground for this distinction
between the two cases to justify the
commissions refusal to grant a delay
in one case while ordering postpone
ment in another. Possibly the whole
subject of these local communication
rates can still be brought before the
commission without the infliction upon
one set of railroad users of charges and
regulations that apparently violate the
principles of equality required in an
other instance.

Neutrality and the Sale of Arms.

From the Springfield Republican.
The sale for use abroad of munitions
of war is troubling the consciences of
some people for various reasons, some
of which are based on misapprehen-
sion. Those whose opposition to war on
general principles takes the form of
regarding as essentially wicked any
traffic in weapons or other supplies for
carrying it on, are logical enough in
their disapprobation now, but their
logic obliges them to go further and
denounce all ornaments, the abolition
of which would rejoice many who do
not conceive it to be possible at the
present time. Individuals who regard
the manufacture and sale of weapons
as under no circumstances justified, of
course, will not participate in it them
selves, but neither have they any
ground for interfering with others who
see duty differently and hold that the
world still has need of gunmakers
Possibly a larger number of persons
are affected by the mistaken belief that
it is contrary to international law for
neutral states to permit their citizens
to trade in war material destined for
the use of belligerents. This confusion
is natural enough, because for q neu-
trail government itself to sell, lend or
give weapons or money to a bel
ligerent power would be an unneutral
act. But this does not impose upon a
neutral government the duty Of pre-
venting it's citizens from making and
selling munitions of war.

The Philippines,

Among the witnesses soon to appear
before the Senate Philippines commit
tee now considering the House bill
granting the Fflipinos larger share in
the conduct of their affairs are former
President Taft and former Commits
sioner Worcester. Both men, from full
information gathered while serving in
the islands, have written and spoken
much on the subject of American con-
troll there-what has been done and
what remains to be done in furtherance
of American responsibility assumed
under the treaty of Paris. They will
be heard now with much respect.
These men profess, and have mani
tested i'll office, sincere friendship for
the Filipinos, and have made q study
of their conditions, capabilities and
needs. Mr.. Taft filed the office of
governor general SO acceptably to the
people OF the archipelago that they testi-
fled upon his departure for home to en-
thusiastic appreciation of his services.
There was 4 great demonstration in his
honor.
On the broad proposition of indie
pendence for the Filipinos, Mr. Taft
holds now, as he held then and as they
ANEW iC uclu, tidt lHSy are HOI pre-
pared as yet for such a responsibility,
and will not be for years to come. He
wishes them we'll. He comedies to their
men of light and leading u quick in
telligence and patriotic purpose. But
with his large knowledge OF what in
dependent government is. and what is
required OF the rank and file of those
who support it, he thinks that not for
generation at least will the Filipinos
be ready to fill the bill
The whole question of independence
should be deferred. We should cross
that bridge when we reach it.
Let us suppose 4 case. Suppose that
say six years ago. this government had
yielded to the agitators in the Philip
pines and to the Aguinaldo Aid Society
independence to the Filipinos, but
American forces. Take January 1,
1915, as the day.
At that time the great nations were
all at peace. The struggle between
Russia and Japan was at an end. The
east was as quiet as the west.
Today both east and west are in
awful conmotion. To degree, Japan
is party to the European war; Would
this be u fit time for the termination
Of American control in the Philippines
and the inauguration of an Independent
government in the islands? Should we
not be adding fuel to flames? Does
anybody believe that in such circum-
stances such promise would be, or
should be, kept?

Shifting Standards.

In days gone by citizen of prominence

He hoped that we would all be law

That you as yet had never been ar

Two Kinds of Camps.

I'VE shall not turn America into an
armed camp. That is one OF the strik-
ing declarations in President Wilson's
latest message to Congress. Mr.. Will
son, in what seems a half-hearted de-
tense of the ultra-eXtreme anti-mili-
tarism of some of his administration
officials. has here betrayed himself into
an unfairness not characteristic Of him.
Nobody wants to turn America irto an
armed camp in the sense obviously in
tended by him. But in the case of an
attempted invasion of this country by
one or more nations strong in regi-
ments and warships we should be pre-
pared to turn it into an armed camp if
need be. And those who protest the
most vehemently that there never can
be such an invasion We're equally posi-
tive not many weeks ago that the pres
ent European war was impossible Wars
