NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
A Trick to Sidetrack Senator Depew

LAS look back and recall some Of
of my experiences in politics 1t seems
to me that one of the most amusing
and on the whole satisfactory among
them all was the manner in which
my proposed appointment as an am
bassador to France was cheekmated,
SO to speak," said ex-senator Chaun-
cey M. Depew to me a few weeks af-
ter his second term as United States
Senator expired.
Toward the close of my first term
in the Senate, very peculiar situa-
ton arose in New York State Repub-
lican politics. Some of the politicians
were very anxious to name another
than myself when the time came to
elect my successor as Senator from
New York. These politicians got to-
gether and after considering good
many plans finally decided upon this
one: I was to be got rid of by the
promise that I should be appointed
ambassador to France. That would
leave my seat in the Senate open so
that the politicians who wanted an
other man than myself in the place
would be able to elect him.
"I was not consulted at all about
the arrangement. 1t was presumed
that / would bend my neck to the
political guillotine because there pre-
vailed the impression that I would
rather serve my country as an am
bassador than as United States
Senator.
1.-THE truth was that whatever am
bition I had for an appointment as
ambassador was ended when Presi-
dent Mckinley felt obligated, for po-
litical reasons, to nominate John Hay
as ambassador to the court of st.
James instead of yielding to the

THE FINANCIAL PROBLEM.

With the treasury department calling for budget
of billion and quarter, the largest in the history
of the nation Congress will face the task of raising
something like $135,0OO 900 additional revenue.
Congress is to be asked to pass two revenue bills
early In the coming session. extending the
emergency tax, which expires on December 81
next, and the other providing for retention of the
present duty on sugar beyond next May, when it
would go on the free list. The adoption of these
measures, however, would not increase the present
revenues With both in effect at present there has
been deficit of $35, 100000.
The sugar schedule of the Underwood law was
adopted only after bitter struggle The sugar
planters of Louisiana declared that free would
drive them into bankruptcy, and the Democratic
members of Congress from that State worked hard
to prevent the adoption of this item of the admins
tration program. But the sugar tax yields revenue
of about $48,OOOOO0 and the treasury needs the
money sorely.
With an estimated increase for national defense
of about $3.50 100000 last year, together with
the cost of tasks imposed on the state depart
and other branches of the government by
of the European war, it is probable the amount of
expenditures will be augmented to total of about
81 ,240 900 900
If Congress agrees to the Administrations pro-
gram for Strengthening the and it will be
obliged to provide for additional legislation,
or the executive branch of the government must issue
bonds.
Although estimate of receipts for the fiscal
year beginning July L. 1915, in which the increased
expenditures will take effect, has been made by Sec
retary McAdoo officials now are convinced they can
not count upon than $3.50 900 900 for the
twelve months and believe the total income
will not go over $700, ,00O, 900.
The secretary of the treasury now has authority
to issue Panama canal bonds to the amount of $240
600, 900. That would be temporary remedy, how
ever and may not be resorted to If the administra
tion proceeds the theory that the government will
maintain the rate of expenditures for national
defense during coming years. now is being pro-
posed for the next session of Congress.
The fact that imports of articles free of duty for
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1915, exceeded those
of 1913 by 900, comprising CLIO per cent
of total imports, against 54.47 per cent in 1913

Hating an Nnwise Law.


From the New York World.
The probability is that the decision
of United States Justice Hough in
validating the so-called cotton
futures law will be sustained all
along the line. Technical as the
question certainly is In most of it's
aspects, the principle involved is one
OF price-fixing by government. AS is
usual in such cases, the taxing power
is invoked in order to accomplish the
desired end.
What was attempted by this legis-
lation was to standardize the grades
of cotton dealt in on the various cot
ton exchanges. That speculative
abuses had existed In this respect has
been admitted, but the purpose and
effect of the law were to enhance the
price of cotton not only in this coun-
try but in Europe, and by taxation
to penalize speculative operations
that everywhere else are lawful.
The purpose, moreover, was to
make dealings of all kinds In cotton
national rather than State affairs,
contrary to repeated decisions by the
Supreme Court. BY this method COM
mercial transactions and disputes
which in like cases are referred to
the courts were to be subject to the
opinion and the order of an executive
department of the Federal govern
ment.
Cotton is an American staple OF
vast Importance. Like all other
products, 1t is naturally subject to
the vicissitudes OF the markets. Any
law devised to interfere with the free
operation of supply and demand
must be In its essence unwise and un-
constitutional.

FAILURE AT THE DARDANELLEsq

Is the Dardanelles campaign of the allies to be
abandoned as confessed faiure3 That would be
the climax OF series Of disasters military and dipo-
matte to the anti-Teutonic which have come
thick and fast within the past few days.
A startling development the declaration by
viscount Miner the British House of Lords yester
day that in view of the need of all available troops
on the western front there is nothing for 1t but to
withdraw the 10000 100000 British and French
soldiers from the Gapoli peninsula, give up alto
gether the push for Constantnople and transfer the
allied force with all speed to the aid of Serbia, be-
fore country completely crushed by the Austro
German drive
Lord Lansdowne's evasive reply to this humiliat-
ing suggestion is naturally taken partial confr-
nation the belief that after eight months of futile
struggle the campaign against Constantinople is
actually be dropped and the entire expeditionary
force sent to the Balkans.
But how much better off would the allies be there?
They will find the Turks on the before them.
Turkey, no longer needing her men for the defense
OF her capital could rush them TO the Balkans long
before her foes could make the transfer.
The whole situation points to a stupendous break
down of the plans OF the entente.

BOSTON CHALLENGE TO NEW YORK.

Construction work begins today on South Bostons
100000 drydock, bringing into sight the realiza-
ton of dream of two decades, the emancipation of
Boston's commercial interests from the domination
of New York This great structure in the center of
filled than mile long, will be of masonry
and 200 feet in length In addition to the drydock
Boston will have each side Of the made ground
mile of docks, constructed of cement and masonry
alongside which the largest steamships tie up in
forty feet of water. Providing, 1t will, the best
facilities the Atlantic coast for docking and re-
pairing modern steamships, the improvement is
counted upon to develop trade, export and
import, giving New England manufacturers direct
outlet for their products.
The menace to American shipping in the La Fol
lette act which has already driven flag from the
Pacific, will now be more keenly realized than ever,
and with the incentive that the proximity of the dry
dock will bring to shipbuilding in New England will
come a renewed demand for the repeal of that ILL
considered statute and increased opposition to Mr..
McAdoo's proposed ship purchase law.

PUBLICITY FOR RAILROAD ISSUES.

The trial of past and present directors of the
New Haven system interest in the subject of
regulation of the issue of railroad securities.
pared for introduction early in the approaching
session of Congress which will be the last item in the
administrations so-called antitrust program, and
that 1t will be similar to the Adamson BILL which died
IN the Senate last winter 1t is said further that the
bill has the approval of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, and is drawn along lines suggested by
the Hadey commission railroad securities, which
was appointed by President Taft in 1910.
Is IT the administration follows those lines
and is similar the Adamson bill of last winter, 1t
will not go farther in the direction of regulation than
providing for complete publicity in respect to all
proposed issues of railroad securities The Hadley
commission devoted much attention to this subject
and in the end, recommended only publicity The
gist of the commissions conclusion is found in this
final statement upon the whole, your commission
believes that accurate knowledge of the facts
cernng the of securities and the expenditure of
their proceeds is the matter of most Importance. 1t
is the thing which the federal government can
effectively insist today; 1t is the fundamental thing
which must serve as basis for whatever additional
regulation may be desirable in the future"
In appendix to its report the commission out
lined scheme for publicity through detailed reports
to the Interstate Commerce Commission, which can
then give all the information needed respecting any
proposed issue and the disposition of the proceeds,
If the issue was made This is far from the drastic
supervision advocated by many persons but 1t SEEM

college than for thousands of dollars
to be spent at Rutgers, Princeton, or
even out of the State?

Copyright. 1915.

"A piquant mixture between a lady
and a milkmaid," was the way one
of Elizabeth Inchbald's admirers de-
scribed her. She was handsome in
figure, unduly tall. freckled, with a
tinge of sand in the color of her eye
lashes. Her hair was of sandy auburn
and her face was beautiful, both in
effect and feature. AS one of her
contemporaries put 1t, "she had a
countenance full of spirit and sweet
ness, excessively interesting and,
without indelicacy, voluptuous. Her
dress was always becoming though
seldom worth as much as pence"
Elizabeth Inchbald was born Octo-
ber 10, 1853, the daughter of simple
English farmers. Her brother, who
had gone on the stage, encouraged
Elizabeth to take up the profession of
an actress, in spite of decided i'm
pediment in her speech. She was dis
satisfied at home, SO when she was
nineteen she left home with the
avowed intention of seeking her for
tune" She found that it was not so
easy as she had supposed to get on
alone in London, so she married the
actor Joseph Inchbald. and began her
dramatic career playing Cordelia to
