Bloc., Polities-and Goats.

THE New York Times is rather like the So
i cialist whose Socialism stopped at goats be-
cause he owned one. Its independence in politics
has much the same hating place. 1t takes Sena-
tor Lenroot to task for approving the bloc move
ment in Congress as indicating desirable spirit
of independence. To the Times such independence
is but blow to the two-party system, ~, i men,
DRY serves it has commended Senator Borah when
he led both parties by the nose in 'the direction
the Times believed they should CO. 1t also has no
word of rebuke foe the manufacturers bloc which
is its goat" but only for the agrarian group
which is inclined to skim bit of the cream off
its goats milk though leaving much more than
does the present law.
"The people," says the Times, "haye looked
to party the other to agree on program
and then carry it out" But now in this breakup
responsible heads lose CONTROL the people will not
know whom to blame, and cannot vote intel
ligenty. The Democrats, too, have spoiled the
chance of blaming it on the Republicans by join
ing the undisciplined of that party in making this
wreck OF the two-party system. In fact, as the
Times it, it is simply awful, this destroying
of Republican cohesion" and Senator Lenroot as
"a thoughtful student of American politics ought
to be seriously disturbed by it." All of which
but further indicates the devotion Of the Times to
its goat. Had that particular bloc lowered in
came from the House, it would be marching to
glory as the savior of the country and the purity
OF American politics.
Really the Times need not worry. If the
people believe the tax revision law is very
bad they will not hesitate to where to place
the blame. If responsible leaders lose control of
legislation" there be little question to re-
sponsbility. If party leaders cannot hold their
party majority, it must be because they have
sumed responsibility for a program without war
rant of authority. If leaders go wrong, mistake
their will for that of their party, their program
for that of the people. shall no one presume to
object' American politics is full Of Instruction
of blocs of individual and group independence, of
refusal to always bindly follow party leadership.
and thoughtful student, instead of being serious
ly disturbed by the present condition, would be
encouraged and hopeful. for that way has invari-
ably come progress and national economic, social
and political advancement.

Ambassador Herrick isn't half scared
the Paris police seem to be.
Exit the Hapsburgs.

AIR CHARLES HAPSBURG flew high. He
wi landed in a hornets nest. Stung, dishg-
ured, rejected and disgraced he will go to perma-
ncnt exile in a location to be selected not by him,
but 10y the allies. 1t will not be Switzerland. The
complete heartlessness, the brutal selhshness and
absorbing ego of this former emperor is shown in
the sacrifice of several hundred of his people who
were killed and more than 1000 wounded, through
his effort for his own re-aggrandizement.
His people did not want him. They did not
send for him. They had twice rejected him. They
had formed another government and his only sup
porters were those he could not but have known
were moved by the same motives that controlled
him-their greed for power and profit at the ex-
pense of the people of Hungary. If he de-
ceived, his mental quality must be far below those
required of the ruler of nation. If deceived,
and it is quite impossible that he actually was then
hanging is too good for him and them and exile
in poverty should be their common fate.
Kings and emperors may have place in the
modern progress of national governments, if they
are wise enough to realize and accept it. That
place is but part of the steering gear in the
machinery of democracy. They can advise without
authority counsel without power, sit on the side
lines in regal state watching the passing show,
and if of the right stature, help avoid pitfalls
and to keep to the highway. They may be very
useful too, as symbols; as silent standards of dig
nifty and rectitude well of the social amenities.
But such kings have been few in the worlds
history and those who, having authority have used
it wisely and unselfshy still fewer That today
any who have been deposed should return to power
would but throw delicately poised world into
panic and there is none who does not know this.
Those countries who are rid of their kings are
rapidly proving the benefits and nowhere in Europe
is. one left whose people would not be the better
without him.

Favors Canal Subsidies.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
The writer is ready to regret the
heat with which he questioned your
| international leanings in the tolls
matter and to modify the enthus-
! iasm of his endorsement of Mr..
Thompson's criticism of your ORR
ginal editorial on this subject. sup
ported as IL was by quotations from
the Canal treaties.

the monumental work of the high

and Resurrection).
1t throws for the writer. a new
light on the tolls question. Mr..
Vanilla gives the most exhaustive,
lucid and mastery analysis of the
knotty problem yet published, de-
| spite its early date. Having con-
victed Columb' a of attempted black
mail mot foreseeing that II would
ultimately be successfully Mr. Va
rilla supports the view taken in
your original editorial on treaty
construction and answers MI
Thompson's quotation of treaty pro-
cow ncing, worthy in every line of
the highest courts.

visions quoted against your position

United States to Panama. of the free
passage of the ships of the new re-
public, II given in part considera-
! tion for the Canal right of way.
In such case this grant Is not
contrad Glory Of our collection OF
tolls from our coastwise shipping
which. as a strict constructionist
with the European point Of view
Mr.. Varilla insists we must do.
But, continues the opinion, there
is absolutely nothing in any of the
; treaties affecting canal rights
which limits our sovereign right &c
subsidize our shipping, coastwise oil
not. to the amount OF the CANA
tolls. or any other amount; provided
such subsidy be paid from the Unit
/ ed States Treasury and not from
profits Of canal operation-profit.
which the opinion holds are forbid
den us by both the letter and spirit
Of the treaties.
1t seems to the writer. with Z
wholly American point of view, tha'
this dictum of disinterested authori'
! ty should be welcomed as a happy
solution of a much vexed question
by those opposed to ordinary shiI
subsidies as well as those who, lik,

roads. which was one of the prin-
cipal purposes of canal construction

Medicine or Beverage?

@ ECRETARY MELLON has frequently been
both criticised and praised not being
politician and as unfamiliar with that science of
democracies known as politics" However this
may be, he evidently belongs to the old school of
medicine SINCE as Dr. Wiley suggests, two and
half gallons of beer will be a rather liberal pre-
scrption for the patient of a homeopathic physi-
cian though the theory of that school, that like
cures like it may be excellent basis for regularly
recurrent offerings of the dose.
The order removing the lid from the use of
alcoholic liquors as medicine is, also, striking as
logic in its premise as well consequent. Having
the law enforcement authorities is exhausted. For
nearly eight months this order to let the law take
its course, has been withheld and now that the
Senate has succeeded in denying a vote
amendment of the law, it no longer be re-
strained in its application.
II two and a half gallons of beer is medicine,
how much of it constitutes beverage? There
was once brewery employee who testified that he
drank fifty to sixty schooners of beer day; that
it did no; intoxicate him, but he could not tell
what would be the result if made hog of
himself" The order for medicinal beer and liquor
seems to have been drafted much on that theory.
To drinker, the quantities allowed might be but
aggravation. One or two mild drinks in ten
days is almost temperance in the calendar of the
topper.
But still recurs the query. why wait eight
