The Nation in Convention

We take it that New Workers. aro
fairly we'll alive by this time to the
fact that they have in their midst
the most important and representa-
tive gathering of Americans this
town has seen in many years.
! The small boys conception Of a
bank as sort of strongboz where
folks keep their gold never did ap-
ply to modern banking, and it hs
precious little relation to the prob.
lens Of the men and women of the
American Bankers Association. It
is not what q bank takes in but
what it gives out--that credit which
IS the life blood of the nations busi
ness-which is important. 10
Thus money is but one small item
represented at this convention. The
farmer, the miner, the grocery store
and the factory are not less closely
tied u2 to its deliberations. Wheat
m Iowa, oil in Oklahoma, lemons in
California, the cotton mills of Mas
sachusetts, the general store in
South Carolina village, all come to
be and enter into the life of the na-
ton through TIE credit of banks.
The banker, small town or bic
town, Is far more an expert in hu.
man beings, their trades and occu-
patlons, than in mere figures. The
Lanker OF Kansas village knows as
much about wheat growing as anv
farmer and a plenty about every
business In the block. Thus there
are experts in every conceivable
American business at this conven-
ton.
1t Is a privilege for New York to
mouse such a gathering. 1t is an
immensely valuable thing for the
Whole country tor these leading men
OF every section, of every sort of
community, experts in everything
that American workers think and do.
thus to meet together, talk together
formally and informally, and bring
the problems Of the nations business
INTO the light Of common counsel.

wild flowers as the lady slipper, the

many others, it is particularly en-

No one seeks to doubt the veracity
of the Department Of Agriculture.
But it seems that before q general
warning is issued against such COM

been picked for so many generations
without damage to the piclers, the

percentage depending upon condl-
tons of employment or non-em-

1t is interesting to observe that
the crime wave now said to be sub
siding spread over the civilized
world following the "fiu" epidemic,
and exactly In the same way, fol-
lowing the malady through one

each country that was visited by the

measles, is catching remains for
scientists to discover. Certain IL
IS that most criminals are subject
to some sort Of mental disorder
which as yet is little understood.

center of the infection in this coun

ready claiming the credit for
having reduced it, although during

No Alibi for Poison ivy

Just why the Department Of Agri-
culture should attempt even a par
tial exoneration Of poison ivy is far
from clear. Of persons who have
lived but little in the country, or
whose knowledge of everyday botany
is negligible, poison ivy takes it's
daily toll. This is especially true
in the fall, when it's brilliant color
ing makes it especially attractive to
the pickers of autumn foliage. MANY
a person has been unable to resist
the gorgeous red branches of the
poison ivy draped over the old split
rail fences or growing on locust
trees Nalong the roadside. Neither
the sumac nor any of the oaks take
on the same color, and only the brick
red of the swamp naples can ap-
proach it.
But what makes the departments
announcement seem all the more
strange is that it proceeds to list a
number of common plants which, ac-
cording to its experts, often do the
damage attributed to poison ivy.
This list includes such innocuous

Uncle Joe's Sentimental Journey

Uncle Joe Cannon has started
out once more over the old National
Pike which he first crossed eighty
three years ago in his fathers
prairie schooner. 1t took him rs
many weeks to make the trip then
as it does hours now. A twenty
mile hike was considered good 60
ing in those days.
If Uncle Joe could reproduce for
us picture of the things that he
saw during that trip. it would in
deed make interesting reading. The
era of railroads had hardly begun.
In the entire United States only
three thousand miles werecompleted.
These were nearly all disconnected
pieces along the seaboard. AS yet
there was no through train from
New York to Washington, nor from
New York to Boston: Along the
coast and on the larger rivers
steamboats, carried most of the pas
senger traffic. In the interior, ex-
cept for the few canals, all traf-
tic went over the roads.
1t was slow and difficult going.

were crossed by ferry or fording.
The road was steep and crooked
through the mountains and subject
to frequent washouts. What few
inns there were by the wayside
were primitive. Travellers from
the East and from Europe de-
scribed them as generally filthy,
with no comforts and few conver-
fences. Three or more slept in a
room, often without beds. The food
was bad and the whisky plentiful.
AS many Of the migrating families
took with them their livestock, In
some places special barns were
built to house animals and owners
all together.
The road was crowded with all
manner OF conveyances. The cov
cred wagon known as the prairie
schooner was a favorite type, but

performed the duties of court, hav-

a person to foresee the public scandal,

The fact that an experienced, upright

The whole affair, it must be men

Settling Family Quarrels

Premier Poincare's clear and def
mite plan for conference to discuss
lnter-European debts in Brussels in
December is a hopeful sign 1t dis
closes a realization that before
American participation abroad is
possible England and France must
end what Ambassador Hcrricly called
their family quarrels" and reach
an agreement upon Europe's prob
lens. Failure to cooperate in col
lecting reparations from Germany
has kept Europe in a turmoil. Fail
ure to cooperate in the Near East
has almost plunged Europe into an
other war. So long as these quar-
rels persist it is idle to. expect
American aid.
On this point there has been una
nimity in this country, whatever the
differences Of opinion as to the as
sistance that America should give.
There has been an unfortunate tend
cncy abroad to put off the evil day of
reckoning until America lent hand.
This hope has undoubtedly been one
of the factors which has delayed Eu-
ropean rehabilitation.
M. Poincare proposes a radical re-
vision Of the German debt. Plainly
French opinion has been ready for
such move for some time. If Eng
land and France will enter such a
conference with will to agree they
can surely do so.
That a new Washington confer
ence would follow cannot be doubted.
The sooner the European nations
smooth out their jealousies and face
their problem squarely the sooner
the Administrator will be able to
decide upon definite agenda for a
conference. Upon the success Of
Poincare's Brussels conference will
in large measure depend Americas
policy.

The country had not yet recovered
from the panic of 1897, and the

To-day at the age of eighty-six he
still prefers the old road, even

More Truth Than Poetry
By James J. Montague
You Never Can Tell

You Never Can Tell
When we read in the papers last
winter
That skirts would be shortly
worn long,
Restricting the ease of the femi-
nine knees,
We thought that the papers
were wrong.
"Now woman has tasted of free
DOM"
We said with wiseacre smile:
"No more she'll consent that her
ankles be pent
In the garments demanded by
STYLE"
We talked in this fatuous fashion
To ladies we met now and then,
And they all of them vowed they
would never be cowed
BY modes that were made by
mere men.
They said they would rather have
comfort
anu vi GOO IA d IdClondl way,
Than to hobble their toes in
the smartest of clothes
That are worn in the Rue de la
Paix.

ballot;
We have learned to do just as
we please;
No longer" said they, "are we
bound to obey
The dressmaker's stupid de-
crees.
We know that short skirts are
becoming,
They are easy and graceful to
wear,
And they're going to stay as you
see them to-day,
In spite of all Paris. So thereW %
Some day we will learn about

But at present we find that the

Observing the fashions last

For block after block, and we got
a rude shock,
For never knee was in sight!

Two judiciary Tickets

| The Tribune has severely criti-
cized the Republican leaders of New
York County for refusing to reno,ni-
nate Surrogate Cohalan. It is very
glad to pay tribute to their praise
worthy attitude toward the other
nominations to the bench.
lne local judiciary nominations of
The first Importance other than that
CT Surrogate comprised thee JUS
tices of the Supreme Court "nd two
justices of General Sessions. The
three members of the Supreme Court
whose terms expire are Justices Leh-
man, McGoldrick and Marsh. JUS
tlce Lehman is a Democrat and held
oiiice by election. Justice McGold-
TICK is a Democrat, appointed by
Governor Miller. Justice Marsh is a
Republican, appointed by Governor
Miller.
The two justices of General Ses-
slons whose terms expire are Jus.
tices Johnstone and Kocnig. The,
former is Democrat, the. latter
Republican. Both were appointed to
office by Governor Miller.
Thus, Of the five justices three
were Democrats and two Republi-
cans. AS to all five there was strong
approval and commendation by the
lawyers Of the city. Under the es-
tablished principle of continuing an
able and impartial judge in office re-
gardless of his politics there was
clear obligation upon both Republi-
cans and Democrats to renominate
all five men.
The Republican party has done
exactly that. 1t has nominated the
three Democrats, Justices Lehman,
McGoldrick and Johnstone, along
with the two Republicans, Justices
Marsh and Koenig.
: Tammany has kicked the whole
principle of n-partisanship out Of
the window. In the end it did not
dare refuse a denomination to JUS
tice Lehman, but it has refused re-
nomination to both Justice Marsh
and Justice Johnstone, the one Re-
publican, the other a Democrat.
The Republican judiciary ticket,
aside from the question Of Surro-
gate, thus lives up to the highly i'm
portant principle of non-partisan-
ship. 1t is a recognition of the pub
lie demand that the bench shall re-
main above politics and that justice
shall not become the hireling of a
boss. To the contrary, the Tam
many ticket is an insolent claim that
the bench of New York City is the
personal property Of Charles F.
Murphy.

4 Vnginian on the Surrogate
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The purpose Of the bosses of
New York to punish Surrogate Cohalan
because of his integrity and inde-
pendence as judicial officer and to
award tha judgeship of that court as @
political prize for partisan services
has attracted the attention and melted
the resentment Of many nonresident
lawyers. Those Of us who, from time
to time, have legal business for the
adjudication of the New York courts
are indebted in particular way to The
Tribune for It's public service in ex-
posing the shameless design. I ask
leave to publicly express my sense of
gratitude.
The resentment at the polls should
be strong. 1t is impossible to believe
that the people Of New York, regard
less Of political Affiliations, would fall
under any circumstances to vote an
indignant protest against any attempt
to subordinate one Of their judicial Of
ficers to political control. But when
such an attempt Is, as now, being bold
ly directed toward the subordination
Of court exercising such extraordi-
narily delicate and far-reaching juris-
dictional powers as the Surrogate
Court, the protest Of the people should
be registered with such emphasis as
to preclude a repetition of the infamy.
In the great Constitutional Conven-
tion Of Virginia Of 1s29-'3O, of which
James Madison was member and
James Monroe was president (and later
a resident member OF the bar Of New
York;, Chief Justice Marshall, in the
great debate on the judiciary clause,
spoke these familiar words, which the
voters of your city may well ponder
betwixt this and Election Day:
"The judicial department comes
home in its effects to every mans
: tireside; It passes on his property,
