Mr.. Whitman Shoulders the Barnes Load.

Mr. Whitman cannot rid himself Of the Barnes
tag by saying that the Barnes domination Of the
Republican party will end next Monday-primary
day. That is precisely what Mr.. Barnes wants { e
Republican voters to believe But ii is not true
He is not the kind Of man to begin an active cam
paign to nominate Mr. Whitman on the eve Of his
retirement from state affairs. His control Of the
Republican primaries by the nomination Of 'lr
Whitman would be followed by efforts to make
himself again state chairman to put some rub
Der stamp there.
Barnes is a net loss to Repubcanism here. He
thinks he is saving the party but it still requires
saving, and will require saving so long as his poll
cies are the organizations policies 1t needs saving
from him at present worse tEan % needs anything
else. To nominate any candidate not an anti
Barnes Republican would be the most unwise thing
the party members could do.
Mr.. Whitmans acceptance OF Mr.. Barnes's sup.
port might not defeat him, II all other circum-
stances were extraordinarily favorable for his cam
paign. But that is beyond probability, and It is
chance the Republicans who want victory this fall
have right to take. So long Mr.. Whitman is
the beneficiary Of the state chairman's campaign
he should not be considered az available candidate
TIE Barnes work for him inevitably arrays against
him the independent voters, who desire to vote
against Tammany, but cannot stomach Barnes, and
the former Republicans whom Barnes drove out of
the party No candidate who coulG not hope for
this support is the right candidate for Republicans

Judges on a Holiday.
YEAR.

Why should judge have a vacation averaging
from two to three months a year? That is the
allowance on the schedule described by Judge
Wadhams in defending his fellow judges of the
Court of General Sessions. Judges Malone, Null
queen and Rosasky have each a four months vaca-
ton this year, but in other years they have taken
only month
This may be a scant holiday compared with the
luxury allowed other courts. But when that is
said VIC think very little else remains in the way
of defence. The work is hard and continuing ut
times but 50 is most work. The liberal allowance
of practically a whole summer off seems pretty
reckless extravaganza.
TO this plain sense of the situation is added the
crying need Of justice to hundreds Of imprisoned
and accused men. The Court Of General Sessions
cannot keep up with its calendar and take its pres
ent vacations The reason and conscience of the
members of the court should lead to prompt
change and an end Of the present indefensible de.
lay Of justice.

An Outsiders View of Human.

People outside this state frequently get Il clearer
vision of its politics than the New Workers who
are over their heads in the fighting here For that
reason the judgment OF The Wheeling Ine
gencer" on the Republican primary fight is valua-
BILE 1t regrets its inability because of distance, to
aid in the nomination of Mr.. Human. "a capable
experienced, fearless and answering Republican"
who would not trade RepublicansIn for Bull Moose
support. OF Mr. Hinman this paper says:
He is an ideal candidate, compared to District At
torney Whitman for the reason that Mr. Human has
been seasoned by eight years service in the New
York Legislature, part of that time when Justice
Hughes WAS Governor, and has imbibed the integrity
and honesty OF that administration. Mr.. Whitman
has made fearless prosecutor Of crime, ou. has
qualities that recommend him for administrator
OF the affairs of such a state New York. Besides,
he willing to submit to any conditions Roosevelt
would impose in exchange for the Endorsement of the
Bull Moose chief
What New York State does is important in the
Republican party nationally, and Republicans all
over the country are watching this state 1t would
be lamentabe il the voters here failed to choose
the strongest candidutcMr. .linman

MIR. Comstock Blunders Again.

We long ago ceased to expect normal point Of
view in the criticisms by Mr.. Anthony Comstock
But It does seem pity that he must choose for
attack so delicate and charming and utterly inot
fensive romance as 1.-THE Beautiful Adventure"
The utter absurdlty of the charge shows In the
findings of the District Attorneys office. The play
certainly cannot suffer through Mr. Comstock's
laundering pruriency. What does suffer, however,
is our general sense Of delicacy, Of romance, OF
beauty. The charm Of "The Beautiful Adventure
il the Gallo spirit at its best-the subtlety and
grnce Of Barrie without trace of sentimentalism
The whole French atmosphere has been carried
over without loss, and the play stands complete
delight and inspiration.
Into so much beauty and adventure rushes the
inexplicable Comstock, SCATTERING every one with
his own evil thoughts We shall try to forget them
and forget him. But how can the man do so

What the Governor Did Not Save.

When Governor GIynn reiteraes that he saved
the taxpayers $l1OOOOOO' he misstates the case
lie can be rcfutcd out Of his own mouth. lemizing
his Saving" he said at the Otsego County Fair
that it consisted Of $7,272OOO, appropriations We.
toed; $3,279,2JO made available by a readjustment
of surplus in the sinking funds, and S6jOOOO OBJ
tanned by enforcing the finance law regarding re-
versions and lapses of appropriations.
Whether or not all the appropriations the Gov,
vetoed should have been killed he is entitled
to call the 100000 total Of vetoes saving since
the money was not spent. But it passes compre.
hension how he can class the other items as
savings. What he did was to take money out of
the sinking funds and put it into a general fund
for the states expenses an TO put back uncX-
pended balances of appropriations into the general
fund instead Of having them carried along az
credits Of the departments for which they had
originally been appropriated. BY doing this he
skinned through this year without direct tax.
But he did not save the state or the taxpayers
$11OOO0OO The most he can claim. with Justice is
a saving Of the amount Of his vctoes When ne
tries to claim more lie casts suspicion on his case.

Boss and Anti-BosS.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: We see so much in the news
papers nowadays about bosses that il
is time that boss was defined. 1t is
time that boss was classified. What
is boss? A boss is man who has
the character, the intelligence and the
influence to succeed. An anti-boss man
is man who has neither the charac-
ter, the intelligence nor influence to
succeed, The man who is for you is a
leader; the man who is against you is
boss. This is all there is to the boss
question. CHARLES n. BELTS.

FOR AN HONEST PRIMARY
How the Ballot Association Hopes to
Make Its Services Unnecessary.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: As chairman of the executive
committee of the Honest Ballot Asso-
citation thank you for your editorial
regarding the meeting of the state
chairmen of all parties in aid of an
honest primary.
Little BY little the cause Of honest
elections seems to progress. Time was,
not 50 long ago, when the citizens felt
that dishonesty at elections was in
separable from them. The Honest Bal
lot Association is trying to have public
opinion realize that there is nothing
partisan about an honest ballot; that
il is social welfare work of the most
vital Importance. For this reason it
has always been careful to welcome
the representatives of all parties to
take part in helping its work. And for
this reason, too, it felt much pleased
when the representatives. of all the po-
litical parties of the state met together
and asked the Honest Ballot Associa-
ton what they could do most effec-
lively to further the cause of an hon
est primary.
That this is most needed is shown by
the fact that the Legislature neglected
to safeguard the primaries by placing
around them the provisions OF the
signature law and by defining q resi-
dence as "any place of stay or abode"
These last two examples of failure Of
the Legislature to recognize public
sentiment in favor of an honest ballot,
in the one instance to fail to safeguard
the primary elections in the same way
that the general elections are safe
guarded, and in the second instance to
so amend the residence law a. to make
it an open invitation to repeaters and
fraudulent voters, caused discourage
ment to the Honest Ballot Association.
The work of the Honest Ballot Asso-
citation ought not to be necessary.
With the idea of making its own labors
unnecessary, it filed charges against
Mr. Voorhs. Superintendent of Elec-
tions, on the grounds of inetficiency.
These charges have been heard and are
now awaiting decision by commits
siohef appointed by the Governor.

1.-THE CRIME OF RHEIMS"
A German Critic Holds the French En-.
tirely Responsible.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Why such lengthy d scrta-
ton on German wickcdncss under the
caption of "Thc Crime of Rheims i'm
your issue of to-day?
In the first place, the great Cattle.
dral Of Rheims, according 90 all re-
ports that have been published here so
far, has not been destroyed al all. but
the damage done to the same has been
confined in the main to the roof and
side windows Of this wonderful specl-
men Of ccclesiastic Gothic architecture
which damage, ] am free to admit,
may be a very serious matter and is
greatly to be deplored in any event,
but which is evidently far from war
ranting any talk on your part about
the obstruction" OF the cditice. I'm the
second place, all reports of this al
legged outbreak Of German vandalism
agree that French gun batteries have
been blazing away at the Germans
from Rheims, some Of these guns being
reported as placed on the edge Of the
town, some in the main street Of the
town and others lin the city" without
designation Of the particular location.
II is plain, therefore, that the French
Cannonadc came from the close PROV
unity of the cathedral or that the
French batteries were IN line with the
cathedral. In either case, do you mean
TO say that the Germans should have
stood by complacently and should have
refrained from returning the French
fire, in order to save the French cathc-
dral and sacrifice German lives +?
Clearly it was sup to the French" not
to invite the possible destruction Of
their world renowned church, and the
French alone, and not the Germans,
are responsible for whatever harm it
may have suffered.
1t is pity that you cannot be fair
to the German cause in this awful
calamity that has befalen all mankind
in the present worldwide conflict.
