Whitman and Barnes.

".Ware Boss Barnes" This advice is
reaching Gov.-elect Whitman from many
sources. What attention he Is paying
to it is not known. 1t is not to be sup
nosed. however, that he is altogether
deaf to it.
AS boss Mr.. Barnes does not grade
with Mr. Murphy. He is another sort
of man, and his following differs from
the Murphy following. He Is OF the IN
tellectual school of bosses. and conse-
ouently musters intellectual men in his
support.
Nevertheless, Mr. Barnes is called a
boss; and bosses in both parties are
lust now under fire. He lives IN AL
bany, and when Mr.. Whitman takes Of
flee he will live in Albany. The two
men will thus be neighbors.
AS governor Mr.. Whitman will have
some important patronage to distribute.
He is advised not to bestow any OF 1t
on men known as Barnes men. Give 1t
all to men who wear their own hats.
and in office will answer directly to
him, the governor.
Likewise he will have policies to urge
upon the legislature. He is advised not
to consult with Mr. Barnes about them.
mere consultation might give rise to
reports that would injure him. He
might be accused of yielding to the
boss, and becoming himself a Barnes
man.
The path recommended will not be an
easy one for Mr.. Whitman to tread.
Boss as Mr.. Barnes is, and unpopular in
some quarters, he yet, as an intellec-
tual man who plays the game of poll
tics intellectually, has friends, and
some of them are influential in state
affairs. Were the new governor thus to
outlaw Mr.. Barnes he might create a
sympathy for him, and in the end in
jure himself and his larger purposes.
While it is not to be supposed that
Mr.. Whitman will play local politics in
an effort to advance his national in
him to keep his party in New York in
good shape. and himself in good odor
with it. II he is to cut figure of any
force in the next republican national
convention it must be as New York S
candidate for the presidential nomina-
ton; and that preference should be ex-
pressed by delegation we'll led and
thoroughly loyal Any hint of luke
warmness or factionism might be fatal
to his prospects.
Albany during the coming winter will
be full of schemes. Mr.. Whitman is
not an inexperienced man, but the gov
ernorship will be his first state office,
and a very great deal will depend on
the way he fills it.

The Frank Case.

Next Monday an appeal will be made
TO the Supreme Court of the United
States for writ of error on behalf
or young man whose case has at
tracted nationwide attention This is
the case of Leo NJ Frank. now under
sentence of death at Atlanta for the
murder of Mary Phagan. an employe in
the factory Of which he was manager.
The crime was one of peculiar atrocity.
Frank was promptly arrested and was
convicted chiefly on the testimony of q
negro workman, whose confession of Il
degree of completely aroused high
state of public feeling against both
himself and Frank. Throughout the
trial there were evidences of this
sentiment. The courtroom was filled

The National Defenses.

Next Tuesday, December l, meeting
will be held in New York to consider
the matter of the national defenses-to
hear discussion of their actual condi-
tion. and suggestions of what should be
done to bring them up to date. In at
tendance will be business men, capital
lists, lawyers and others who do not
make what is called a business of
politics. They take sides in campaigns,
as other citizens do, but are not hide
bound partisans.
December 90 the United States Safety
League will meet in Chicago to con-
slider the same subject. This orSaniza-
tIon is non-partiSan, and has in view,
not chiding any party for the condi-
tions that exist. but presenting to all
parties and to the voters of the coun-
Try regardless of parties the national
duty in a matter of profound national
concern.
Let US all welcome these two move
nents They will go far toward silenc-
ing the charge that the demand for
congressional Investigation of the
actual state of our martial establish
nent has politics, a sort of cold pro-
iessionalism, and an equally cold COM
mercialism in it; that only politicians,
soldiers and sailors, and men with
army and navy materials to sell, are
backing it.
The charge, of course, though blatant,
is. ridiculous. Whatever the deficiencies
in our defenses may be, they are not
imputahle to the present administra-
tion. They are the product OF years of
shortsightedness on the part of the
1afjo0al a+fhorities Ry-f atJrniuiS-
tration has a great responsibility. 1t
should support the proposed investisa-
ZION, and respond to any duty 1t may
reveal What should he done should be
done promptly and thoroughly.
The European war has thrown fierce
white light on all army and navy mat
,srs everywhere. Everybody knows bet
ter than ever before what is necessary
n both attack and defense. We see
ourselves in a condition not far from
helplessness as respects provisions for
tAc national defense. a great power
we'll equipped would at the start have
l.s at disadvantage; and we should
r.sy heavily in both blood ana treasure
before we could possibly present the
proper front.
The millennium will not follow on
tae heels OF this war Seeds of other
vars are now being sown, and will
come up in time. We are growing
nation, and should grow rapidly In
numbers and wealth in the next score
of years. All we have will need pro-
lection in a world where force, as now,
will be large factor. We shall commit
a crime against ourselves if we close
our eyes to duty plain and pressing.

Plant of Bernard Shaw.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
Mr.. Bernard Shaw has real griev-
ance against the organ of the labor
party. In his recent manifesto. hlled as
it was with rather reckless comment T.
on every one having to DO with the
the rights and even for the, privileges
of the labor class, by which he must
be understood to mean the trade union
lists. Labor outside the unions is re-
garded by him and most on Other sr. as,ta snav
politic. But for the trade unions, OF
which he has elected himself the repre-.
sentative, he has claimed the utmost
favors and urged the labor party to de-
mand them now. because the govern.
ment is in distress and may be forced
to grant them. This may not be pa
triotic. MI Shaw does not pretend that
it is, being inclined to ,dssh.o%s Look on pa pa
nocrisy. But his plan, If not patriotic. is
in the interest of the labor party. and
ono cannot blame him for being re-
sentfuI when the organ OF that party
houts and ridicules him.
