The Presidents Tact.

Mr.. WILSON'S exquisite literary
skill and his unusual tact enabled
him to treat convincingly In his ad-
dress on neutrality matter that
another might have ignored. or IN
touching upon might have invited
disagreea bile consequences We refer.
Of course, to those pa ssaces IN which
Mr.. WILSON paid his tribute to the ret.
icent members OF the community:
America 10 not all vocal Just now.
TT Ia vocal in spots.
II. for one have a complete and abid-
ing faith in that great silent body OF
Americans who are not standing up and
shouting and expressing their opinions
just now.
Not the talkative man ."
A less considerate orator. one Of a
coarser fibre. one lacking the subtlety
Of Mr.. WILSON. would have put It
differently but not more clearly. We
have had Presidents who would have
named name and specified the indl.
vidual he had in mind. Not 20 Mr.
WILSON. whose confidence in the in.
tellectual acuteness OF his hearers
was complete and shrewdy placed.
He conveyed his message. II was
comprehended instantly.
Mr. WILLIAM J. BRYAN Is highly
fortunate in the manner IN which the
President announced the complete
emancipation Of the Administration
from his oppressive influence.

Lost In the Political Jungle.

Apparently the Interstate Com
merce Commi ssion Is trying to find
an answer to an unsolvable problem
in its effort to make the new Cum
Minis amendment to the interstate
commerce act At the facts Of rail-
reading.
This amendment was one Of the
measures passed in the late stages Of
the last Congressional session and
was. from the point Of view Of the
public policy which il shaping itself
in the field Of railroad regulation.
an anachronism. 1t represented moth
ing but a survival Of stale animosity
toward the carriers. and the result
Of Its enactment has been to throw
the Interstate Commerce Commission
back into the tangle from which II
had begun to extricate itself by its
own efforts.
For years past the railroads have
been accustomed TO make reduced
rate for freight In consideration Of a
reduced liability for loss or damage.
Their tariffs have provided for a
higher rate where shippers preferred
to hold the carriers to full RESPONSE
bility. The Cummins amendment pro-
hibits limitation OF liability. and
the discovery Is made that the rail.
roads propose to charge full rates for
fpn iyh I'd Inr
conditions no longer legal.
Naturally enough shippers unite In
protests and the Interstate Commerce
Commission is appealed to. but the
ordinary citizen of reflective mind Is
bound to ask what consequences could
have been expected to follow such
an exhibition Of political prejudice
as the Cummins amendment. If the
railroads charged less for moving GER
tain classes Of freight because ship
pers agreed not 10 hold them fully
responsible for damage or loss, they
would seem entitled to charge higher
rates when compelled to accept full
responsibility.
No doubt the Interstate Commerce
Commission will do its best to prove
that even without limita ton Of
liability the railroads are sufficiently
compensated at or near the reduced
rates which went with the former
limitation OF liability. The fact. how
ever. that burden should he put on
the commission to prove any such
thing is striking illustration Of the
unbusinesslike processes Of interior.
ence with business conditions which
politics has been conducting.

The Final Fight for New York.

The Republican majority in the
Legislature and the Republican Gov
ernor in the Executive Chamber in
tend to impose on the Democratic
city Of New York direct tax of not
less than $4,000, 900. The appeals
for mercy that have been made to
them by the non-partlsan ndmnStra-
ton of the city have been without
effect. The well considered plans for
the avoidance OF any tax that have
been laid before them have been dis
regarded. The directing gcniuscs Of
the party in power have fixed upon
a scheme, and nothing has served 10
turn them from II.
The Mayor OF New York had sue
cinctly and convincingly disclosed the
inevitable effects on this community
of this extortionHtc plan whom the
sum 10 he raised was put 5000. 600

EITHER the tax rate must be raised

and welfare OF its own ctizons
"If the tax rate IL raised sixteen
points, as II would he by the proposed
direct tax, the first result will be n de-
crease in the earning power Of New York
City's real estate,
This OF course Will result in real es-
tate depression, which can only he rem
