At Syracuse.

The report that Mr.. Taft, Mr.. Root
and Senator Wadsworth Of New York
may be called by the Barnes side to
testify at Syracuse affords sugges-
ton about bosses and politics. They
know Mr.. Barnes, have worked with
him i'll campaigns, and, it is said, es-
teen him both as man and politi-
clan. If they appear as witnesses at
his instance we may expect them to
say something in his behalf.
The question then arises as to the
verdict. What if the jury finds for
Mr.. Roosevelt; finds that in what he
said in the interview which provoked
the action at law he did not libel Mr..
Barnes? Will that rob Mr.. Barnes
Of the respect and good Will of men
Of the grade of the distinguished trio
mentioned? If it does not, there will
still be cakes and ale for him both
in public and in private life.
Moreover, he is a member of the
state constitutional convention now
in session, and assigned to i'm
portant committee work. If he fails
in court against Mr.. Roosevelt, will
that result tell against him in his
convention work? Probably not, as
he was assigned to it after Mr..
Roosevelt's charges had been made.
The republican members OF the con-
vention knew what Mr.. Roosevelt
thought Of Mr.. Barnes when they
gave the latter as their associate a
certificate of character.
If the jury finds for Mr.. Barnes,
what will be the effect on Mr.. Roose-
welt either as man or politician?
Nothing of consequence. He will go
on as hitherto, praising his friends
and supporters, and denouncing his
enemies and opponents, in superla

the world voyage its RECEPTION there
was all that the national pride de-
sired and expected.
But the war, which has changed so
many things. has changed the pro-
gram first conceived as respects the
| celebration of the canals completion.
What in time OF peace would have
been the most notable celebration Of
modern days has been dwarfed and
in measure obscured by the appall-
ing upheaval in Europe. The worlds
attention is fixed on that We are
not only shuddering at what the days
have already brought forth, but at
the thought of what future days may
bring forth. While such a storm is
raging. but little account can be
taken OF anything else.
Congratulations are due the man
ayers Of the exposition for the spirit
and resources they are showing un
der such adverse circumstances. The
west, as usual, is rising to the occa-
sion.
The navy just now is the object of
the greatest interest. We could wish
for more ships. and for a larger COM
plement OF officers and men. As sell
dom before, we should be very strong
on the water-on the one big ocean
as on the other. But there is much
comfort in the fact that our float
ing fighting equipment is, for its size,
fit. and ready for action. We could,
in an emergency, make it go far in
the national defense.
For this reason there is much pub
lie solicitude about the proposition
to send the fleet through the canal
at this time. The feeling is that no
risks OF any kind should be taken
neither the risks Of slides in the
canal. nor other risks.
Secretary Daniels knows the situa-
ton, both as respects the canal and
the public uneasiness; and his de-
cision when announced will be ac-
cepted His Office gives him infor-
nation wider than that possessed by
the general public, and, we may all
be sure. he fully appreciates his Off
cial responsibilities and obligations.

tives. He is constituted that way. He
is ardent in cooperation, and equally
SO in antagonism. 1t is not to be
supposed that even if money award
is made it will be for any consider
able sum. Money in itself has not
probably entered into the calculation
on either side.
Few bosses have suffered in their
personal or party fortunes because
Of criticism leveled at them. If in
Office they remained; and some ex-
erted great influence there Mr.. Cor
man, Mr.. Platt and Mr.. Quay were
conspicuously in print. All three
were under fire for years, and yet
continued to the end as men of
power in politics. Mr.. Platt and Mr..
Quay were close" to Mr.. Roosevelt
while he was President.
The libel suit at Syracuse has af-
forded good entertainment for the
politicians of both parties. But what
else? Who stands to win or lose
much whatever the verdict may be

Congress and the Emergency.

Again we have striking illustra-
tion of the fact that distance has
been annihilated. A large party OF
senators and representatives in Con
gress sailed few weeks ago on 4
trip to the Hawaiian Islands for the
purpose OF inspecting conditions
there. The news OF the destruction
of the Lusitania reached them
promptly, together with the informa-
ton of the excitement the tragedy
had caused here at home. At the
suggestion that an extra session of
Congress might result, they took
steps to depart at once, if necessary
If needed. they will be in Washing
ton in time for whatever may be ex-
pected of them. A swift ship and a
fast railroad train will negotiate the
miles of water and land in short or
der.
These are the only members of the
national legislature out OF the coun-
try. All the others are at home and
in easy call. Europe now holds few
Americans except such as are there
on official business At this season
ordinarily the American tide of travel
in that direction is heavy, and car
ries with it many politicians on err
rands either of sightseeing or OF in
vestigation of social and political
conditions.
This situation as respects Congress
should have most steadying effect
throughout the country. If the
services of that body are necessary,
they can be commanded at once. The
peoples representatives can speedily
take up with the President any ques-
tions he may need their assistance
in deciding.
Moreover, the new Congress would
not confront question new in its
general aspect. The war was in
progress when it was chosen. No
body, it is true, was elected on a pro-
war or anti-war platform; but the
struggle in its effect upon us and
what the future might produce en-
tered into the discussion, and can
didates were able thus to gauge pub
lie sentiment
The President alone has large
powers in such a situation as now
exists. And, beyond them, he is sus-
tanned by consciousness of general
and genuine sympathy without re-
gard to party. The people do not
underrate his burden. but know its
weight and how it taxes him.
But Congress. too, has its part to
play in emergencies; and, of course,
II the present emergency develops
into need for congressional action
the President will summon that body
to performance of its duty. Our
constitutional agencies are all intact,
and through them we should reach
the best conclusions about what
should now be done.

JitneYs and Bonds.

The Chamber of Commerce has
voted in favor of regulating litney
buses IN the same manner as public
utilities. without any specific sugges-
ton that the new form of transport
be required to give bond for the sat
isfaction of damages. This action is
a reversal of the view OF the trans
portation committee, which recently
proposed the bonding of the jitneys
as security.
The public utilities commission
must finally determine this question,
and in deciding must assume the re-
sponsibility for the outcome. As far
as the mere carriage of the people
IS concerned regulation is Compare
lively easy and the jitney can be
brought under rules similar to those
that govern the street railways. But
in the matter of accidents there is
definite accountability beyond, and
on this point the Chamber of Com
merce by its action has declared in
favor of leaving the jitney on par
with the private vehicle. If the Com
missioners are satisfied that there
will at all times be assurance OF am
pie security for possible damages in
yolved in accidents due to the care
lessness of drivers the bonding of the
jitney IS perhaps not essential, bu,
the question must be very closely
studied before decision is rendered

The Fleet and the Canal.

II Secretary Daniels shall in the
end decide not to send the feet
through the Panama canal, the San
Francisco exposition will suffer no
material loss. The presence of the
feet in those waters would, of course,
be most welcome, and add during the
fleets stay to the big shows attrac-
tions. Great pride is felt on the Pa

tions. When Mr.. Roosevelt as Presi-

The Art Convention.

The American Federation of Arts
meets here today for a three-day
session, to discuss wide range OF
topics relative to art develop
ments in the United States. 1t is
most appropriate that this gathering
be held in Washington, which is
steadily becoming the national art
center, having already two important
galleries and numerous notable ex-
amples of sculpture of the highest
order American taste in art is de-
veloping steadily, and its advance
ment is unquestionably facilitated by
the organization and periodical meet
ing of the men and women who are
practically engaged in the production
Of important artistic works.
This convention is exceptional Ill
that in consequence of the activity
of the federation an exhibition of in
dustrial arts is to be opened at the
National Museum, to last during the
summer, for the education of the peo-
pie. 1t will demonstrate that the
useful can be beautiful, and that art
has its practical place in almost
every phase of life. Many thousands
OF Americans are certain to visit
Washington during the period of this
exhibition, and they cannot fail to
be deeply impressed with the tend
ency OF domestic manufacturers to
give their products an art value Here
is the place to reach all classes OF
people, from all parts of the country
with such display OF valuably edu-
cational character.

because the Carranza and zapata

the soldiers they resumed play.
Notwithstanding that the links had
been torn up by shells, all went well
with the game until the driveon from
the seventh tee had been followed up
to the green. II was then that the
man who had the best lie waved to
his companions excitediy to hurry on
up. They thought that he had holed
out with his midiron, but found that
his dIscomposure was caused by the
fact that he could not use his putter.
