among the 700 republican editors in- terviewed as to the probable candidate In the east, Root and Hughes are most mentioned. In the middle west, they are for Borah, Cummings, Sen- ator Sherman and Fairbanks. Cover nor Johnson is mentioned by sixteen. Weeks, Roosevelt and Taft each have around fifty packers as against 245 for Root, 152 for Hughes and 10S for Taft. It will be a great convention for favorite sons.
 There is a clear majority of opin- ion that the tariff and preparedness will be the two main issues in the campaign. On the first topic, 1t should be noted that the editor of the Digest was impressed by a story which the Republican fold him upon the effect of the war upon the supply Of watch crystals and the success of the Water bury Watch Co. in making its own, leading the Waterbury Democrat to form the opinion that the new watch crystal industry would need protec- ton. The story is told in full:
 Coming back, however, to the ques- tion of personnel, doesn't it begin to look like Roosevelt after all? The New York Tribune, which is hammer ~AA9 s'AS olioIl lOI lIS WS>.'N ness in dealing with Germany on the Lusitania case, printed the other day somewhat remarkable editorial en- titled Do They Want Roosevelt?" It was addressed to the republican lead CTS in congress. The advice it gave was that if the republican party did not take stronger ground than the ad- mlnlstratlon has to date, public senti- ment would force the renomination of the colonel. With all his weakness es, The Tribune says, this remains that thousands of thinking people be- Heve that if Roosevelt had been presi- dent, there would have been no Lusi- tania tragedy
 The other night there was dinner at Judge Garys New York home 1n honor of Roosevelt. score of just such men as would be expected to be at a dinner at Ebert H. Gary's house were there. The nature of the affair has not been announced but it is sur missed that "conversations were held, as the current diplomatic phrase goes MT. Gary refuses to tell. The colonel says that it was a private dinner and not a political affair. Meantime, the colonel has been closeted for hours with leading progressives. Make nc predictions but watch for further signs.

AN INNOCENT ABROAD.

Other than the fact that Col. House is being sent to Europe by President Wilson and that he is not going ostensibly as a peace missionary but as an advisor to our diplomats ill foreign countries no one knows ex- actly what is in the air. Whether the Colonel Is to tell our ambassadors ill London, Berlin, Paris, or Vienna, they had better have their trunks packed and ready to start for home at any time, or whether he is merely making a round of inspection no one can forecast. His trip might be as futile as his journey abroad some time ago, or it might be profitable in- asmuch as he will be in a position to set certain people right. Evidently there is a great misunderstanding in certain diplomatic circles of Europe, a vague something which keeps gov ernment officials on the wrong track.
 If the Colonel can convey the right impression, if he can interpret the feeling that exists in the United States and have foreign minds grasp the delicateness of the situation his trip abroad will not have been in vain. But he has hard task ahead Of him, granting that this is his mis- sion.

County Lawyers association has asked District Attorney-elect Swann to de- wise a simplified method of pro- cedure for criminal cases, and he is now at work on the matter. The need of such reform not only In New York but in nearly every state in the union may be seen from a simple instance. The present form of indictment for first degree murder is about 400 words long, containing fourteen "aforesaids" and eighteen "saids." Here is characteristic passage from a specific indictment. ." one mortal wound of the breadth of one inch and of the depth of six inches, of which said mortal wound the said John Doe, from tho fourth day of April, in the year aforesaid, until the fifth day of May in the. same year aforesaid, at tho borough and county aforesaid, did languish, and languishing did live and on which last mentioned day tho said John Doe, at the borough and county aforesaid, of the said mortal wound did die.'' Aside from the fact that its customary for a man afflicted with mortal wound" to die, it may be remarked that any man who used such language as this in the ordinary affairs of life would be set down as either a pedantic fool or a lunatic. By way of contrast, consider the full indictment for first degree murder in Canada, which reads in full, as follows: The Jurors for our Lord and king present that Richard Roe murdered John Doe at Toronto in (date.)" The prolixity and vain repetitions of our legal forms are inheritances from many genera. tions of backwardlooking specialists
 It is time to break away from them and bring their language and logic up to date as anada (which derived
 it's legal institutions from the same source) has done. Not only is such reform as the New York lawyers nro. pose in line with common sense. hut it is the way to a simpler, more di. rect and expeditions rendering of justice. Excess4ve formality and

The Dangers of Party Spirit.

George Washington, being about to retire from the office of president, ad- dressed message of farewell to his countrymen, which in large part is applicable to the conditions of the present hour. His fear of danger to the state from the jealousies of party strife may well be read at this time, for the warning it conveys and the in struction it carries. Said Washington:
 Let me now take a more compre- hcnsive view, and warn you in the most solemn manner against the haneful effects of the spirit of party generally.
 ''This spirit, unfortunately, is in separable from our nature, having it's root in the strongest passions of the human mind. It exist under differ ent shapes in all governments, more or less stif1ed, controlled, or repressed; i; but in those of the popular form it is seen in it's greatest rankness and is truly their worst enemy.
 "It serves always to distract public councils and enfeeble the public ad- ministration It agitates the com munity with i'll founded jealousies and false alarms; kindles the anim osity of one part against the other: foments occasionally riot and instruction It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which finds a facili- tated access to government itself through the channels of party pas- sion. Thus the policy and will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another.'
 How very like to the evil effects of partisanship today are those Wash ington predicted. -
 Here is the president and the gov ernment, called to power in a most difficult time, striving to hold the balance of neutrality even and tc Keep peace with the world. < Here is MT.

straining for technical precision have only made our legal documents vul- nerable. Too many rules have made court procedure a puzzle and hindered the administration of justice. A re- turn to sane simplicity in all forms of legal process would be to the in- terest of the public and would help to redeem the legal profession from the popular disesteem into which it has fallen.

HORSES FOR FOOD.

At first blush the idea of eating horsef1esh seems repugnant to the human family. This is due partly to the horse has been mans best friend. Except in rare cases. such as a polar expedition, the flesh of this domestic animal has never been served as food. guised and sold under a fictitious label; but, as a rule, it has been put under the ban in the best regulated butcher shops. Now comes the great city of New York and, under it's board of health, repeals that section of it's code which prohibits the slaughtering of horses for food. The high cost of living is given as req son for this action. It is believed this is the first instance where an Amerl- can city has given permission for tho sale of horsehesh as food
 Health Commissioner Emerson m commenting on the new order of things has this to say:
 Horse meat is without objec-
 tion as a food. It can be made a
 valuable and cheap addition to the tables of thrifty persons. We
 believe this new measure will
 make provision for an inexpen-
 sive meat food. There are many
 advantages about horsehesh. A
 horse never has tuberculosis and
 generally is so free from disease
 as to need less supervision than
 cows, hogs or sheep. There is ;, no sanitary nor medical reason
 why horseflesh should not be
 eaten. We want to make avail
 able in New York the same things
 thrifty persons have been accus-
 toned to abroad. The meat
 should become an invaluable ele-
 ment in soups and sausages."
 An inspection trip abroad made by veterinarian, not long ago, showed conclusively that in Brussels high quality of horseflesh was selling at a slightly better price than Argentine beef. At present in Paris from one hundred to two hundred horses are eaten every day. In short time it is believed that horsef1esh as a food will be popular even in New York. Thus the war has brought about another great change in con- ditions. And yet there is no reason why horsefiesh should not outclass many other flesh foods. An old Kentuckian once put it this way:-- "Why should the horse be considered not good food for man? The horse is among the greatest of do- mestic animals. He is bred with ut most care, he is groomed and cur ried, harbored better than any of his fellow beasts, and his flesh is as soft and tender as the down on 8 ducks back. The only reason the horse has never been popular as a medium for feeding the human fam fly is because he has been petted and cared for in such fashion as to make ! his death a matter of sentiment. Be- cause of this no one has sought to slaughter horses for food"
