Macdonald on Clothes.

From the New York Evening World.
Seldom has an English prime min
lister furnished the world SO much
food for thought on non-political mat
ters as Ramsay Macdonald. He has
just given US his views on dress, and
coming from the spokesman of the
laboring classes they are calculated
to make the cheap demagogue and
politician revise his notions of the
best approach to the confidence and
respect of the workers. The tradi-
tional method has been to don dirty
linen, trousers that bag at the knees
and q tattered hat. II has been as
sumed that the men Of the mines and
shops would be attracted to slovenly
garb. The fact that this assumption
has not been complimentary to the
intelligence or taste Of men who toll
has not occurred to the demagoguc.
Now comes Macdonald with the OBJ
servation that he has known persons
who showed their vanity by the clum-
siness of their clothes
Having shown that a labor premier
may speak the language of literature
and follow the methods of polite So
ciety, he now implies that leader of
labor may observe good taste in dress
without compromising his principles.
American demagogues may have to
revise their methods of approach to
''the great unwashed"

Tiger" was powerful only below the
Bronx" But during Murphy's regime
as leader its influence has extended
throughout the state. The capitol at
Albany has been an annex to the wig.
wam on i4th street. whenever Demo
cratic votes prevailed in the state.
Was Murphy 4 public influence
for good? In New York that question
is being answered emphatically in the
affirmative. with small dissent. In the
country at large it is being answered
mainly IN the negative. To the New
Yorker. save in the minority partisan
ranks. TammaNy Is rated as a worthy
orga niZatiOn. and its leader is con-
sidered as worthy OF praise. To others
outside of the metropolitan boundaries,
perhaps outside of the state, Tammany
is viewed as a selfish political machine,
intent upon the usufruct of practical"
politics. and its leader as the chief
beneficiary. It is largely matter OF
geography.
Tammany's leaders have all become
very rich men, from humble begin.
nings. Yet no salary attaches to the
office. This fact is of plain significance.
Occasionally these leaders have in the
course Of their upward progression
held remunerated public places. but Of
flee holding has been only incidental
and casual. Richard Croker. ques-
toned on the witness stand in the
course of an investigation. acknowl-
edged that as leader OF Tammany he
had been working for his own pocket
all the time" Nobody has ever pre-
cissly learned the formula. That is one
of the secrets Of the wigwam. lima gina
ton has played upon the matter. how
ever. and the deduction is simple.
Charles F. Murphy died at the height
Of his power. Had he lived a few
months longer he would perhaps have
played an important, possibly a deter
mining. part in the national political
situation. He is deeply and sincerely
mourned by a multitude. He passes
with the high praises Of those over
whom he ruled as leader. He is sancti-
fed by his associates. IIe was doubt
less a good man according to his
lights. But in the final analysis his
leadership did not make for American
advancement.

Effect of Murphy's Death.

The first thought that occurs upon
Charles F.. Murphy's death is, What
will be the effect Of his passing upon
the Democratic presidential nomina-
ton contest, particularly upon the ef-
fort to nominate Gov. Alfred Il. Smith
of New York, and upon the combina-
ton which had been formed by
Murphy, Taggart and Brennan to
head off, William G.. Mc-Adoo? Mr..
Murphy was the dominating figure in
that syndicate of wouldbe McAdoo
wreckers.
Their community uf interest did not
go to the point of agreement upon any
candidate. Their sole object was To
stop McAdoo and give them time
TO look about for some candidate upon
whom they might possibly agree. Mr..
Taggart sincerely wanted to nominate
Senator Ralston, while Mr.. Murphy is
thought to have cherished the hope.
even, if he was not convinced that it
could be done, that Gov. Smith could
be nominated. Mr.. Brennan is not un-
derstood as being tied to either Gov.
Smith or Senator Ralston. He is
thought to favor Senator Underwood.
But the primary objective of the trio
was to prevent Mr.. McAdoo getting
the nomination.
If Mr.. Murphy had lived through
the convention he would undoubtedly
have welded great power in its selec-
ton of a candidate. 1t was he. who
exerted the deciding influence in the
selection Of Gov. Cox at San Francisco
in 1920. He probably would have re-
peated in 1924. There does not seem to
be any other leader in sight with such
power behind him as Was furnished by
the Tammany organization. The Or
ganization still lives. ii is true. but it
will miss Mr.. Murphy's political skill.
his dogged determination. his courage
and his guidance.
Some Democrats may think this will
be a boon TO the party by way Of re-
lief from czarship.

Mediation in Honduras.

An invitation by the United States
Amapala. Honduras, for mediation be-
tween the warning factions in that
country has been accepted by Saliva
dor. Guatemala and Nicaragua. Costa
and thus there is a prospect Of a five
power intervention which should be
effective in restoring order. This is a
wise method Of settling a conflict.
Direct intervention by the United
States has not been considered suit
able. This government does not wish
to appear to side between factions in
such a case as that which has de-
veloped in Honduras. 1t is not desir-
able that it alone should bear this
responsibility. The neighbors Of Hon.
duras arc intimately concerned in the
preservation OF peace. 1t Is a matter
for their welfare rather than that Of
the United States: but no one Of them,
and no group OF them, could inter
vene effectively and without creating
serious animosities unless the United
States joined.
In the case Of Mexico, the United
States maintained somewhat diff
ferent position. The revolt in the
neighboring republic was a matter of
direct concern to this country. Its
welfare was menaced. Experience in
the preceding Mexican revolutionary
troubles had been costly to the United
States, heavy losses had been suffered
by American citizens, the international
boundary had been violated. and there
was reason to expect recurrence of
these encroachments in case the re-
volt continued and spread in area. In
those circumstances It was consid.
cred by the government as warranted
that the request of the Mexican gov
ernmept for permission to purchase
arms should be granted. Only to that
extent did the United States inter.
vene, though it was undoubtedly
considerable factor in the suppression
of the revolt.
In Honduras, to protect American
interests, American marines have been
landed, and in the course Of disorders
at the capital two of them have been
killed. This tragedy, however, prob
ably will not initiate against an ef-
fective prosecution Of the peace
making effort in conjunction with the
four South American states. A dis
position has been evinced by the revo-
lutionary chiefs of Honduras to &C.
cept the mediation Of the United
States.

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE

Senator Borah's anti-bonus speech in
the Senate on April Il was one of the
most scholarly and eloquent orations
heard on Capitol Hill in many day.
II was the silver -tongued Idahoan at
his best. Borah Is always in top form
when crusading for an ideal that COM
bines public morals with high politics.
His opposition to the bonus springs from
exactly that kind of a combination. as
he views the adjusted compensation
project. Authorities often speculate as
to the mark Borah will leave upon con-
gressional history, when posterity comes
to scan II. We sometimes don't ap-
praise contemporaries at the value that
the perspective Of time awards them.
Most Of Rorah's admirers are confident
for eloquence and for English. with
those Of Webster. Calhoun. Clay and
the other giants who once bestrode the
floors Of Congress.
Undismayed by political critics who
think his ill-starred fight for the cash
bonus has hurt his presidential ambi-
tions, Senator Royal S. Copeland has
gone west on a speechmaking tour. He
is billed for a fun weeks program in his
native Michigan, including the univer-
land was mayor twenty-five years ago.
Another point on his Wolverine itinerary
is Flint. one OF Michigan's great auto
mobile communities. Senator Copeland $
friends by no means admit that mis-
NtglN h..
ed, has damaged him politically. For
one thing, they assert. ii has given him
nation wide advertisement. 1t is un-
deniable that the statesman physician s
name crops UP necessarily in Demo-
cratic conversation whenever the talk
is OF dark horses. Sometimes il is aver
red that IL Is the vice presidential nomi-
nation that Copeland really wants and
hopes to achieve.
Capt. Walter r. Gherardi, whom Sec
retary Wilbur has selected as his chief
aide. Is diplomat as well as a gallant
sailor. Few officers of the American
Navy, even Of admirars rank, have had
so varied an International experience as
Gherardi. 1Ie was naval attache at
Berlin when the world war broke out
and served at Ambassador Gerard S
right hand throughout the two anAsa
half tortuous years Of our neutrality.
After a period Of excellent service as an
officer Of a transport, the De kalb. Capt
Gherardi was assigned TO special duty
in connection with adjustment of naval
peace problems with the central pow
ers. No officer in our fleet has q better
conception of the high spots of Euro
pean affairs. For the past two years
Gherardi has specialized in naval avia-
ton and commanded the air scouting
squadron Of the Atlantic fleet.
