Mr. Wilson as a renctionnry in whom

Mr. Roosevelt may ba abU to pass
over Mr. Crane's contribution of |28jB00

date of tht* latcst contribution. June 17,

This is the time of year when we

"Mr." Murphy they C_H him when he
has a candidate runnlng tot otllce. He
is not a boss then. but a leader. He is
"actuated only hy the baal of motlves."
He thinks only of the good of his

RAIDING THE COURT.
The refusal of Murphy to fJO-OW the
substnntlally unanimous reipiest of the
bar associatlons of the state lo keep
the electlons to the Conrt of Appeals
outof partisan politics is evldence of ?
set purpose to make that tribunal
practlcally of one polltlcal complexion.
Against pu.h nn attempt the whole
stale should be aroused.
Of the seven rvgulnr Judges of the
Court of Appeals four are I'tmor-rnts
nnd three Kepublicnns. Tliree of the
Democrat.s were supported for election
by the Republicans?two. Judges <'nl
len and Bartb'tt, after lon. servhe ln
the court by assigninent, like that of
Judge BU-COCk, Whom the linr assocln
tions asked tbfl Dcrriocmts to indorsc.
nnd one. Judge CoUla, though he had
never been on the bench, was. after
liis Deinocrath nomlnation, indorsed
by fhe Ueiiubllcnns to succeed a Re
publlran. ln the effort to keep the court
out of politics. In llllo. when succes
sors to two Hcpublii-ans were to l?e
selected, the Kepublli-ans reimmlnnted
the Kepublican Judge Vann. who
could scrve only two years before n*
tirlng. and arcepted a Democrat for
the full term. thus giving the It.-nio
crats a lnnjority of the i-ourt. Now.
when tWO more Republican vacaucles
occur. tlny again offer one of tliein to
the Daoaocrata. reductng iiieir own
representation to two. But .Murphy.
no! satislled wiih tliis generosity, de
tennincs to liglit for both. If he sue
COeda la his plaa anly one Kepublican,
Judge Wcrner, will bc left ninong the
seven
The Dcnioi-rals were ready enougli
in thfl years when their prospects were
poor to prolit by the Kepublican spirit
Of non-pnrthniiship Jn deallng with
liie (durt of appaabl. TWO years ago
they realized it WOttJd be dangerotis t?i
oppose the re-eledion of a venerable
and popular Jurist like Jinlge N'ann,
arho nii-hi also have canied In nn
ntln-r B.-publlcan along with him if
there bad been a contest. So they
1 bought it WOffth whlle lo accept the
Republican offer to give up one judge
ship formerly tilled by a Kepublican.
Xow, when they Bi'f: eneouraged by
Kepublican divislotas, they think the
time opportune to denounce M-partH'aa
agreement*. and. not coutent wlth get?
ting one more place from tbe Republi?
cans. to seize two and make the court
all but solidly Democratic Such an
unequal division would be raoat un
fortunate. The people, when they
ereated the present Court of Appeala,
sought to avold thls and provlded in
the constitution that iu the flrst elec?
tlon of Judgea every elector might
vote for the chlef and only four of the
nssociate Judges. Thus it assured a
mlnodty representatlon of at least
two. The mtnorlty. whether Demo
crntic or Republican, has never since
been less than two. Murphy is content
to allow only a minority represeuta
tion of oue-uutil the term of that one-i
explres.
The Democratic rejectlon of the
overtures for union has foreed the
Republicans to select a second cnndl
dnte. They have done the obviously
jiroper thing ln unmlng Judge Emory
A. (base. a Supreme Court Justice
DOW sitting in the Court of Appeals to
help relievethe oongestiou of business.
He nnd Judge Hiscock have both
proved tlmmselves valuable nsslstants
in tbe tribunnl. nnd all Independent
citi/.ens should rally tO make them
regular members of it. All the reasons
which demanded tlie proniotlon of
Jndgeo Cullen. Werner nnd Hartlett.
who had slinilar experleuce, call for
tbelr electlon and the pebuke of Mur
phy's attempt at a partlsau selzure of
the states highest court.
BIRD CONSERVATION.
Probably ln no otlnr wny could Mrs.
Russell Hiige have done so much for the
Mrd life of thls country as she has done
hy tiie p-orchaac of ICarab island. in
I.onislaiia. as a ri'fuge for migrntory
blrds. In that great tract of wood and

and. freed from the attacks of mnrket
hunters, poachers nnd plume gatherer*?.
game blrds nnd song birds allke can
breed and .OCtlllt their yearly dwlndllng
nnmbers. There will be difflculty. of
course. ln making this a genuine refuge.
There will hnve to be a slrict pntrol
against ponchers and market hunters,
and perhapa it would be well If this
matter could be put in the hands of the
fe.leral _ovennncnt. Hut in any case
the establishment of ibe refuge will be

It was high tlme somethlng declsive

The beautiful wood du.-k is nlmost as

a better ChaBCO to breed unniolested.
In the blrd refuge?not thls one

There is no doiibt cause for lndig

practlcally all the tlme for mnny years.
lnd('4'<l. lt is probably less than lt has
been, since there has certalnly been
some improvement of Turkish admlii
latratiofl since tbe fall of Abdul Hamld
nnd the promulgatlon of tbe constltu
tion. The four states are moved not so
much by irreslstlblc and rlghteous
wrath as by the cool cnlculation thnt
thls is an opportune time to strike
n blow nt Turkey for their own ag
gninili/.enieiit. As for the gn-at pow?
ers. which are now Interveuiiig to re

moved not so much by consideratioiis
r?f good government in Macedonia or
of tiio wickedness of w^jj ns by their

Nevertlieleas. lt wlll be a good thlng

It iu alwayn better, other things being
equal, to aettle a matter ln peace than
through war. and there is reason to
thlnk that ln thls case the peaceful
aettlement wlll be In all respects
preferable to one secured on the fleld
