One OF the great New York news

Times Square the young man whose
business It was to sell them to the
newsboys. taking their cash in re-

an eager fock Of youngsters who
grabbed the papers as fast as he
could open the bundles and raced
away to dispose of them without
going through the usual formality Of
pRying for their stock.

with seldom enough to be uncommon.

Jeffersonian Democracy.

In recent contribution to The Star
former Vice President Marshall says:
II am myself a Jeffersonian demo-
crat. l am not convinced that the
principles OF Jefferson have been i'm
proved by the many appendices and
addenda attached to them by we'll
meaning persons who conceived that
the business Of a political party was
to discover and put into effect some
thing new"
Mr.. Bryan has recently proclaimed
himself a Jeffersonian democrat. He
asserts that If his party Is to hope for
restoration to power it must return
to the principles that long gave it
power. The shade Of the Sage Of
Monticello is his guide and counselor.
Joseph w. Bailey. in an effort to
secure the democratic nomination for
Governor of Texas. raised the stand
ard Of Jeffersonian democracy last
year. He was not successful. The
state Of Col. House, Albert 8. Burle-
son and Thomas w. Gregory did not
rally to the old colors. The Wilsonian
democracy triumphed.
Here are three men giving their
adherence to brand Of democracy
that once carried everything before
it. 1t has not been SO popular Of re-
cent years. At any rate. victory has
not been invoked in its name. Are
these men. long prominent in their
party, to be characterized as reaction.
aries? They do not so regard them
selves, but only as followers Of q
leader who. as they contend. wrought
and taught for all time. Although Mr..
Jefferson has been dead for nearly a
hundred years, his message is as po-
tent with them as it was with the
democrats Of the generation that first
received 1t.
And yet nobody has defined for pop
ular instruction the difference between
Jeffersonian democracy and Will
sonian democracy. Such definition
would be widely read and maybe as
widely discussed. What better en-
ployment could any ambitious demo-
crat ask? And II he should succeed
in making all clear at q time when

reward in high public station.

The Sam Browne Belt.

Some years ago one Col.Sam Browne
of the British army in India, designed
for himself from piece OF nicely
tanned leather novel bit Of equip
ment. He had noticed that the stand
ard waist belt, when burdened. with
saber or holster, sagged uncomfort-
ably down over the left hip. This tend
ency he sought to obviate. Retain
ing the broad waist belt with its brass
fittings, he attached thereto a narrow
and light shoulder strap. which, pass
ing diagonally from. the left hip over
the right shoulder, afforded the desir
ed support for his sidearms. Thus
was born the Sam Browne belt, which
when the world war broke upon Eu-
rope in 1914, was standard equipment
for commissioned officers in nearly
every army involved. ..

New Einstein Theories.

Prof. Albert Einstein, author Of q
profound il somewhat fuliginous scien-
tif1c theory, has returned to Berlin.
During his visit to the United States,
where he and his wife were courte
ously received, and where large audi
ences paid large prices to hear his
lectures. ne assimilated three distinct
impressions of America: America is
a country dominated by women. who
make ..'play dogs" Of the men; Amer
lea Is a country whose scientific at
tainments it Is nonsensical to compare
with those Of Europe; America is
country where colossal chow the adjec-
tive must have rolled off the professors
tongue) boredom is the lot Of the
people.
The candor Of Prof. Einstein anent
his impressions Of his late hosts and
hostesses is perhaps q bit Teutonic.
Yet it may as well be admitted that.
relatively speaking, there is some
thing in what he says. The German
idea as to the relative importance Of
the sexes is sufficient to account for
the theory Of feminine domination in
America. When one is accustomed to
regard a woman as an amoeba the
discovery that other men are proud
to accept them as equals undoubtedly
goes hard. The theory as to the rela-
tive scientific attainments Of America
and Germany for when the professor
said Europe he undoubtedly meant
Germany becomes comprehensive
when one considers that Herr Elm
stein probably had in mind theoretical
science. at which he is an unqualified
success, rather than practical science,
to which he has contributed but mod
estly. -..
And then the theory Of boredom in
America: However insufficient the
above volunteered explanations may
seem. here, at least. # is not difficult to
understand the professor. Inevitably
his impressions Of America were de-
rived from the people with whom he
came in contact. Courtesy prompted
an effort to stifie yarns as the some
what vague ideas Of relativity were
expounded. and the effort was made.
But since the observant scientific eye
pierced through such discreet subter-
fuges as hand before the lips or eyes
bravely restrained from dropping. we
may as well "fess up" The Americans
with whom the professor came in con-
tact were bored. Relatively speaking,
they were Infinitely bored.

POLITICS AT HOME
The Tariff Battle.

In some observations about the
tariff and its prominence as an issue
in many campaigns the st. Louis
Globe. Democrat says:
but In the national campaign of
last year 1t was scarcely mentioned.
and aroused no interest when 1t was.
Yet now. without bugle call. with,
out a drum beat, without rhetorical
address to the American people and
without even q protest from the
democratic party. a general tarin bill
is quietly presented to the House OF
Representatives for passage, whence
awaits it with a strange calmness
that looks very much like indiffer-
ence."
Softly! The battle has Just opened.
There will probably be racket enough
as 1t progresses. The democrats are
not consenting to the Fordney bill,
and not all the republicans are. There
is debate in the whole measure, and
before it is laid before the President
for his signature it may undergo some
important changes. The Senate is ex-
pected to review the Houses work in
detail.
The truth is the tariff question has
never before been presented In the
aspect now existing. The conditions
of trade have never before been as
they now are. Foreign trade has never
before entered 30 largely into our cal.
culations. and foreign trade is as
much out of plumb as our own trade.
In soliciting and providing for 1t we
have some new things to consider.
Protection is still the republican
policy. The Chicago convention de.
clared for it, and the November vic
tory was in part won on the declara-
ton. But applying the policy this
time is surrounded with difficulties
hitherto unknown. and which call for
nice adjustments. The job is decided
ly Of man size.
The republicans are being put to
their trumps. and should welcome that
sort Of game. They are old players.
and for years have observed the run
Of the cards. And If with their ex-
perience and the size Of the stakes
on the table they are not inspired
sufficiently to win, they will deserve
no sympathy when they lose.
