tho most importan. federal office in

Of the big city
Two years ago New York was car
ried for the democratic national ticket
by the regular party organization un-
der the control of Tammany Hall. and
with the active assistance of Senator
OGorman. During the campaign Mr..
Wilson had been kept we'll advised OF
the situation. had maintained specially
cordial relations with the senator. ana
had accepted with expressions of graf
itude all the services rendered. HAD
Tammany and Mr.. O'Gorman sulked, a
different tale might have been told at
the polls, not only in New York. but
paigns in other states were heartened
by the reports of progress and rosy
prospects in New York.
And yet, in office, Mr.. Wilson has
given his hand to the enemies of Tam
many within the party. Offices have
gone, and are still going, to those
whose declared purpose 1t Is to destroy
Tammany as a political influence. Incl
dentally, too. Mr.. OGorman is mem
aced. for II Mr.. Wilson's program pre-
walls the senator will have no chance
to succeed himself in Office. The new
anti -Tammany machine. If made strong
through presidential favor, will de-
stroy the senator and his trends.
Mr. Conkling-a man Of the highest
class-Iost his fight through an act OF
petulancy. He resigned from the Sen
ate and appealed to his party at home,
and complications-unpr by him,
and not in the range of his calcula-
his defeat, and disap-
pearance from politics. hau he re-
l. aimed in the Senate and continued
his fight there, in the end and in the
larger results he might have won.
Neither Mr.. O'Gorms -, nor any other
senator now being antagonized, is like
ly to repeat MI. Conkling's mistake
They will keep their seats, as they
should. and insist, as they should. on
their constitutional rights. No ap-
should be made without
senatorial advice, and none can stand
for long without senatorial consent.

The Latest Thaw Decision.

The United States Supreme Court has
acted with gratifying promptness and
unanimity upon the application of the
state of New York for extradition from
New Hampshire of Harry Thaw. who
escaped from Matteawan in August.
1913. fed to Canada and finally was
turned back into the United States and
was arrested. The highest court has
made short work of this appeal, and
its decision is undoubtedly in the in
terest of Justice. All technicalit1es
aside, whether Thaw is sufficiently
sane to be indictable for conspiracy to
escape from Matteawan, where he was
confined. there can be no question that
the issue should be determined within
the state which had the original juris-
d;ction and from which he fled. Flight
into other states is regarded by the
law as futile, and statutes are provided
to prevent the evasion of Justice by
this means.
Ordinarily the courts facilitate the
return of such fugitives from justice
or detention, and this would have been
done doubtless in the present instance
but for the exceptional resources of
this particular prisoner. who has here
tofore managed to utilize the tech
nicalities of the judicial process for his
own exploitation In an unremitting at
tempt to evade the consequences of his
crime.
That Thaw shot Stanford White and
killed him is known as fact He
was acquitted on the gro1nd of insan-
ty and was then committed to Mat
teawan. a prison for the criminally in
sane on the ground that he was not
a safe person to be at large. On sew
eral occasions he has sought release
and has failed and the record stands
against him from the outset. The Do
minion of Canada treated him with
short ceremony when 1t found him
within its boundaries on his escape
last year, ejecting him as an undesira-
BILE alien. 1t is not particularly to the
credit of the American judicial process
that SO much time has been lost on
this side of the international line in
restoring Thaw to the place of his
legal detention.

Democracy and Bull Moosery.

Noting the decline of the bull moose
marty. as disclosed IN the NoVe1noei
election returns. Mr.. Bryan oeheHee
that of the bull moosers who remain
some will return to the republican
marty and some will unite with the
democrats. What is likely to aet1acl
. bull mooser to the democracy:
Bull moosery, in its original form'
-rav out of two things: () a protest
against the Payne tariff law. and CD
an ardent personal devotion 10 iheo-
dore Roosevelt.
The republicans who protested tne
Pavne law did so on the allegation
that it did not redeem the partys cam
n,ip, promise on ths subject of tarln
revision. As they contended. IL olo not
revise the tariff downward IN the IN
terests of the people, but upward III
the interests of industries no longer IN
need of high protection. They declared
themselves protectionists still. but only
to the extent of fostering industries
that merited such attention
one of the results of that protest
was the Underwood revision; and that
proved less satisfactory to the pro-
tastants than had the Payne revision.
Hence the return of so many OF the
bull moosers to their old republican
affiI ations in November. Others are
very likely to follow in November.
1916.
The men who thought less OF the
tariff. or Of any other issue, than OF
Mr. Roosevelt as man and politician,
and for that reason followed him out
of the republican party, are with him
still. How much longer they will re-
IL hyY h q
tries for the presidency again two
years hence they are likely to support
him. They are not numerous. however.
But if, for any reason. Mr.. Roose-
welt should not offer for the presidency
in 1916, would he advise his devoted
personal followers to support Mr.. Will
son as against the republican candi-
date? They will do about as he says.
At this time he is very much opposed
TO Mr.. Wilson. and all for which the
latter stands. Neither the domestic nor
the foreign policies Of the administra-
tion suit him. and in discussing them
he takes ground far in advance Of any
republican critic who has yet spoken.
Unless, therefore, Mr.. Roosevelt should
in the next two years become a con-
vert to democracy himself. none Of his
followers Is likely to appear at the
polls as Wilson man at the next ma
tional election.
Mr.. Bryan's belief does not, in part
at least, seem well founded. If demo-
cratic success in 1916 depends upon
the straightout support of Mr.. Wilson
by Roosevelt men, the republicans have
an easy row to hoe. Indirectly, the
Rooseveltites' landed him in the White
House, but. directly, they will not vote
10 keep him there.

One Helpful Lesson of the War.
From the Birmingham Ledger.


Before the European war started
there were thousands OF people In this
idea that imported products alone were
worth while. Happily that notion is
being dispelled under the effects Of the
war Many of those who patronized
imported goods as far as possible have
and have found them just as suitable
and just as desirable. frequently more
so, than stuff brought from abroad.
Even American fashions are taking the
place of Paris designs, and gradually
made goods is gaining strength among
those who long pursued the mistaken
policy.

Nation or Mob :?
From the New York World.

Our early nullifiers pursued their
contention to the point Of secession
and domestic war. Are their success
sors to persist until they involve US
IN foreign war? Or will Congress by
appropriate legislation compel states
.is well as mobs to respect treaties
which the Constitution pronounces the
supreme law of the land?
