UIBBEtRBSBSTBB.
The failure of the House of H^pre
s*>ii}.itiv«^ last Monday to approve the
joint rtr. : olutiott proposing an amend
raent to tire Ouattitmieu changing the
date of the inauguration, lengthening by
oight weeks the short session of Con
gress and closing certain gaps In the
JVesideniial succession hi probably at
trJbataaie more to ignorance ami mis
representation than to deliberate judg
ment. Some of the uiipsacats of tit**
re<:oh]ti<>n must have neglected to road
It. for they rang the changes on the old
argument that the Constitution was to
be amended merely to "prevent Congress
men from catching cold" at March 4 in
augurations sad to help swell the cof
fers of Washington tradesmen anxious
to attract larger crowds to the capital
tor the display. We regret that a Repre
sentative from this city, Mr. Harrison,
should have opposed the resolution on
BSea trivial and mistaken grounds as
these;
What is tlie proposition? It is simply
this, to turn the Constitution of the
United states into a weather vane. It
is simply this, to set in motion the most
fcolemn machinery in the hands of this
Congress to brine about an amendmenT
to the most immortal document ever
penned. For what purpose? For the
purpose of securing sunshine upon the
date of an inaugural parade. Mr.
Speaker, the proponents of this measnrf
evidently look upon the inauguration of
the President as a sort of third show,
rivalling the Banana & Bailey circus
parade and the "Buffalo Bill" parade that
we saw this morning. They look upon the
inauguration of the President of the
United States not as a solemn function
with a moaning which goes deep down
into the roots of our history, but as a
show to be provided for the entertain
ment of those people who may happen to
be in Washington at that time.
Sow; if that were the sole or even the
chief purpose of Hie amendment sub
mitted. Congress might possibly be justi
fied iv treating it as of minor conse
quence. But it has other purposes far
more Important! In the first place, by
shifting the date of the inauguration
from March 4 to the last Thursday in
April it extends the second session of
each Congress- -msirly' two months. Such
an extension is highly desirable, since
under present conditions little legisla
tion beyond the preparation of the sup
ply bills is possible at the short session,
and even the supply bills have to be
passed only half digested. The chair
men of .i!'- Appropriations ' committees
Of the two houses have repeatedly com
plained that In the rush of the short
session many approuriatlons are allowed
10 slip through which would be held up
and rejected . were . there time .enough
to give them proper scrutiny. A second
session of five mouths instead of three
months would greatly promote economy
and efficiency in legislation.
Moreover, the amendment suggested
bridges over a dangerous hiatus in the
Presidential succession- As the Consti
tution stands, it fails to take into con
sideration the contingency that the
President-elect may die in the interval
between the canvassing of the vote of
the electoral -colleges, sad the date set
for tii" inauguration. It may be held
that, the Vice-President -eleot under such
Circumstances can qualify on Inaugura
tion day as Vice-President and then,as
sume the I 'residency, hut that is only an
inference suggested by common sense.
The im^ndacteni removes all doubt by
definitely securing the succession In the
Vice-President.
Furthermore, born President-elect and
Vice-President -elert may die In the in
terval between the canvassing of the
electoral voi«? and the inauguration.
s..!iia Pxtra-Coustitutional remedy would
then have to be sought, for there is no
Constitutional provision for a succes
sion under those circumstance*. 1 i"'
proposed amendment giies Congress the
power, «»hen th*»re i- no person entitled
to hold th<» office of President or Vice-
Prp?ident. to declare by Jaw what offi
cer shall thea act as President. There
i- need for such an authorization, for It
is easily conceivable that with three
parties dividing the electoral vote in
fairly «*}ual shares there might be no
election of President by the House of
f<»»pr^<t,.nt«ti<*«; and no election of Vice-
PresMent by the Senate under the Con
stitutional requirement of ■ two-th!rds
quorum and a majority vote for the
■Inner not of a quorum but of th en
tire membership. Instead of merely
furnishing a better opportunity for in
auguration street parades in Washing
ton the amendment defeated "last Mon
day seeks to cure defect* in a vital fcat
ur<' nf tho constitution, legitimately
completing the good work accomplished
by the Twelfth Amendment.
SIAKTSG FOR PEACH IX SOUTH
AMERICA.
The -indefinite intimation of a day or
two api concerning American effort? for
peace between Peru* and Ecuador has
promptly and happily been realized. We
are informed that Argentina. Brazil and
the Dallied .States, apparently with the
more or less active sympathy of Chili,
are to mediate between the two dilut
ing states, and will thus provide an hon
orable method of avoiding war, and, we
n.ay eipect. an equitable settlement of a
long pending and troublesome contro
versy. it would be ft welcome thing in
any case and at any hour to .'»v«-ri war;
but it will be particularly welcome to
avert a war m unnecessary and in this
anniversary year of South American in
dependence 90 untimely.
It is especially gratifying i" have
peace maintains! and the dispute set
tled in the way which is announced^
namely, through the joint mediation of
1 lie United States and some South Amer
ican states. The initiative of this coun
try it doubly pleasing, sluce it shows
how well Secretary Knox Is maintain
hit: the policy of his predecessors, and
since it a!s«» shown the maintenance of
our deep and benevolent Interest in oar
South American neighbors. Bat It [4
also agreeable and reassuring to baVei
i! effected in Conjunction with Smith
American states, because such 'co-opera- ,
ii<.ii atfeagtaeaa ih^ bouds^of confidence
aud friendship which unite and should
neSv-yoek daily TRHUNF. MMM MM 20 - 191 °
i still more unite this country with its
j neirhboi^.- and also because it will «
tirely ol»viate any thought that the
1 Unitni States was trying: to exercise
an undue ■" doniineerlnc influence in
that continent. Acting alone in the mat
| tor, this rt>untry Eaight have been sub
j^ct to gjuiu — <ieV s\i?p3cions, though ''■■:■
would l*^fc l>ecii gWtmtKtia. Acting
i with Arjrcntin.'i nnd Bra?H. it wholly
! avoid* tliat suspicion and makes South
j American states realize the truth, that
1 this nation Is their disinterested. impar
tfal and benevolent friend and nothing
, more.
The matter in dispute relates entire 1
j we believe, wan uusurvcyed and unde
termined boundary. It is therefore a
I matter which should^ be susceptible of
peaceful adjustment, through survey
; and adjudication. The United State.'
j has had a number of boundary dispute.^
some- of them of much Importance,' but
U. has mill permitted one of them to
i Ivecome «-auso for war. In one note
1 worthy casr it submitted to arbitration,
! trait] i,Mivi-nlly it has di?posc-d of such
I controversies through direct dipKtnytic
i i negotiation, which is always the host
1 way of settling international questions
I v -lion it is practicable, as it usually is.
This country had therefore the support
'of consistency in its suggestion to Us
■ South American neighbors that tfc^y
] HhtMrid thus dispose of their bone of con
! ten tion.
AT ran kin&B met!.
Eight ICingS, two of them also em
perors, will stand to-day around the
bier cf I>l ward* tbe Peacemaker. With
one exception they were all relatives of
the King and Emperor whose funeral
they are attending. Also, then- will
be in that solemn cortege an empress
dowager, three queens dowager, pa im
perial grand duke, a royal crown prince,
a sultan, two former presidents of the
greatest two republics in the world and
a company of princes, nobles, ambas
sadors and great men of the earth.
It wili be one of the most distinguished
:md most impressive gatherings that
have ever been seen at such a time. or.
indeed, at any time. But no one will
say or think that the occasion is not
worthy of the company or that the man
who has gone to his rest was not amply
deserving of the tribute thus rendered.
There will, however, be other gather
ings, If possible more significant than
that at Windsor: perhaps none of them
more significant than those in New
York. It will he fifty years a few
weeks hence since Albert Edward,
Prince of Wales, then just passing from
boyhood Into manhood, was a visitor in
this city. To-day the city largely sus
pends its activities in token of respect
White the service is in progress at
Windsor there will be a corresponding
service in this city In .1 church which
was a place of worship in the reign of
the late Kings great-grandfather, when
New York was still a loyal British prov
ince; a church whose pulpit canopy
still bears the royal insignia of tlie
Prince of Wales, placed there when
George 111 was ruler of this city, and
overlooked and left there alone when
the patriots of the Revolution swept the
building clean of ail other reminders of
British sovereignty. There will be no.
more impressive service to-day, in its
historical suggestions, than that in old
St Paul's.
It is fitting that, the world to-day pays
a universal tribute to the memory of
cne of its greatest, citizens. Probably
no. other chief of., state of . out . time
touched it at so many different and
varied points of sympathetic contact,
through personal relationship, through
extent of dominions and of political and
commercial interests, through the be
nevolent activities of peaceful diplo
macy and through an alert, informed
and unfailing human spirit. More than
most men of his time. or of any time
Edward the Peacemaker fulfilled the
laudable boast of Terence, that he was
a man and therefore, was interested in
all things which concerned men; and for
that cauee. as well as for the others,
more concrete and tangible, which we
have recited, the whole world in return
was interested in him in life and to
day displays its abiding interest at the
ports U of his tomb.
SAVIXGS J3AXK RATE AXD BVR
PLUS.
Many prudent and farsighled bank
ers are devoting considerable attention
to th* 1 question of the savings bank
surplus for the reason that our sav
ings institutions are experiencing a
heavy shortage iv their percentage
of surplus to deposits, as a con
sequence of growing deposits and de
preciation in the market value of the
restricted securities In which they are
obliged to invest their funds. A few
leading New York State savings banks
reduced their rate of- interest last De
cember from 4 to 3^s per cent, and it
Is not unlikely that the movement will
extend to other banks in the semi-an
nual payments to depositors in July for
the sake of sound banking principles.
Inasmuch as the New York State sav
ings bank law prescribes that not more
than 10 per cent of deposits shall re
main uninvested at any one time, the
trustee not only is prevented from tak
ing advantage of a low. priced security
market, but frequently hi compelled to
invest when price: are unusually high,
while, unlike many financial institution,
the savings hank is imable to increase
its surplus through fortunate specula
tion.
It would appear, therefore, in the in
terest both of the depositor and of the
general financial situation, that every
savings bank, in order to offset the effect
of a possible Combination of a falling mar
ket and Increasing deposits, should aim
to build up and maintain a surplus com
puted upon the market or liquidating
value of Its assets of at least 10 per
cent of its deposits. On January 1. 1:110.
100 savings banks out of HO in
this state showed a surplus of less than
7 : per cent of tots] deposits. It has
been suggested that banks which do
not hold a surplus of 10 per cent should
reduce their rate of interest to a level
that would permit an increase of the
surplus to 10 per cent; that banks which
have a surplus equivalent to 10 per cent
—and there are not many — should re
duce their rate in order to maintain the
10 per cent, and that banks 1 which hold
more than 10 per cent should reduce
their rate to .'s',.{. per cent as ft whole
sane example and for the best Interests
of all concerned, especially of the
smaller Institution*}, which find a 4 per
cent (dividend extremely burdensome.
Statistics covering a period of years
demonstrate that if it be the aim to
maintain a fixed ratio of surplus to de
posits the Swings of the New Y'H\i
State savings banks, generally speaking,
do not -warrant a rate exceeding 8% per
cent. lii<l«'<-<l, ii is a matter of record
that men In si moderately rising market
for securities, with a 3!l> per cent rate,
the ratio of surplus to deposits has only,
kept stationary. An luiportnnt factor
with which liic savings batiks] havo^ to
contend i- the automatic prowth in flo
posits from within— thhr is. frqm iutpr
est nni riHtnti and .credited. \Vhen the

as to restrict -regular iuterest payments

FOR A WORTHY CELEBRATION.
We are glad to see that the plan for
I rational celebration of the Fourth of
July, which- The Tribune has advocated,
is gradually i.-iking shape. Mayor
&or iv rcHimnse ° letters from a com
mittee, of citizens and from the Mer
chants' Agsociation urging that tiiei-«> be
some funeral public celebration oC the
day in .place of the individual explo
sion of lireworks has signified bis will
ingness to appoint a committee to take
charge of the project. The time is
short. tlie holiday being only n little
more than six weeks off, but it will
still be possible, if a committee begins
work promptly, to prepare such a cole
bration that no one will regret the
abandonment of the old practice.
Tin? Mayor in his letter suggests an
old-fashioned Independence Day and
discusses the possibility of a parade in
which the national guard, contingents
from the United States army and navy,
detachments of police and firemen, as
well as representatives of civic and
patriotic societies, may take part. . A
great display of fireworks in the even
ing would end the day fittingly, he sug
gests. There can be no doubt about the
fireworks. Unless there are fireworks,
not merely at one point in the city, but
at various points accessible to different
sections, the email boy will be disap
pointed. And unless the day is worthily
celebrated there will probably be a re
turn to the old foolish, wasteful and
dangerous system of indiscriminate use
of explosives.
The aim should be to make the cele
1 »ration of the day significant, to ap
peal to something more than the love
of noise and illumination and to reach
the imagination of the people. His
torical pageants which have been so
popular in England are apparently, out
of the question for this year, at any
rate, because so little time remains for
preparation, but If a committee is ap
pointed of men who have had experi
ence with public celebrations and pos
sess enough imagination to get away
from the stereotyped features of Ameri
ca n displays something may be accom
plished which will lead gradually to a
worthy and significant observation of
the birthday <>f the country's indepen
dence.
TVho will put bis faith In comets after
this?
At last the secret Is out. It is not
the gambler in futures, not the greedy
railroad or steamship man with his aw
ful freight rates, not the jobber, the
factor, tho ginner, nor even the planter,
who is reaping the benefit of the differ
ence between C or 7 cent cotton in ISO."
mi 15 or 16 cent cotton now. It is
the humble, down-trodden and in some
states disfranchised negro laborer who
is guilty of the Increased cost of the
necessary staple. At least he is mad©
the "goat," if the statement of a South
Carolina cotton planter before the Senate
"cost of living" committee is correct.
Ha says that negro laborers in the cot
ton fields get 100 per cent more for
their labor now than they got when cot
ton was sold at a low figure, and that
the planter reaps no more actual profit
now than he reaped when he received
I'ss than half the present rate for his
product. Senator Smith, of South Caro
lina, backs up Mr. Stackhouse, the
planter alluded to. by the statement that
negro labor in cotton fields now dresses
gaudily and brides in fine •.•arriages."
Standards of sartorial gaudiness and
vehicular fineness vary, of course, and
what would pass for superexcellenco In
a South Carolina cotton field would
hardly do in Fifth avenue, but the nub
of the whole story seems to be that the
cotton field n*»gro is learning some les
sons from whit© labor, and incidentally

only two days by rail from Peking, lump
silver, the same cumbrous currency that

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
COMETS— HABITS AND HABITATS.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Psea?e tell i;s something of the
comet.
1. What is it?
2. Whence its power to go contrary to
the earth at the rate of so many miles
per minute?
8. Why shouldn't it burn out and be
destroyed in seventy-five years or less, at
the rate it is going through space?
If you or any one can answer the above
in your paper, you will greatly oblige
J. A. HUBBAP.D.
Plainfleld, N. .T., May 38, 3910.
[If our correspondent owns no popular
work on astronomy, he would dp well to
consult one in some public library. Any
thing like satisfactory answers to his
questions in the space here available is
impossible. Still, an effort will be made.
Comets are believed to be objects flying
through space which are captured By
the attraction of the sun or the bigger
planets. Thereafter they follow elliptical
orbits, propelled by a force like that
which sends the planets around the sun
— whatever that may be. ' Whether they
go around in the sam? direction as the
earth or in the opposite one, as a few
comets do, is apparently a matter of
chance. It seems to depend on their
position when the sun, "which has a
motion of its own through space, first
exerts an influence on them.
Astronomers* tell whether a. comet is.
new or old, so to speak, by comparing
its orbit with those of other comets.
They could find no parallel for "Comet
A. 1910," and hence regarded it as a
stranger. Halley was led to predict the
return of the one which bears his name
by the discovery that its path is Identical
with one •which had previously appeared
several times.
A hint of the composition of comets—
or, at least, cf their heads— furnished
by meteoric stones. These, fall on the
earth after following. the paths of comets
which have been disintegrated by col
lision or otherwise. Additional informa
tion about them and their trains is sup
plied by the spectroscope. Visual obser
vation through a telescope also helps.
At a great distance from the sun comets
z.re without tails. These appendages are
a product of solar heat and seem to
consist of matter in an almost incon
ceivably rare condition. Among the sub
stances revealed by spectroscop'c study
of comets and their trains are iron,
sodium, vaporous compounds of hydro
gen and carbon and other terrestrial
elements. As the indications given by
the same comet sometimes change in a
few weeks it is not unlikely that oc
casionally some elements are masked by
others.— Ed.]
WANTS MR. IVTHARG TO EXPLAIN.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The writer begft to call your atten
tion to part of the address of Ormsby Mc-
Harg. formerly Assistant Secretary of
Commerce and Labor, delivered before the
National Association of Manufacturer. 1 !" on
the 16th lnst.. according to your issus of
to-day. No doubt others would be pleased
to have Mr. McHarg give a more definite
explanation of this part of his address:
"The Chinaman on the Coast and else
where in the country Is the last man to
leave his work at night and the flrst one
to arrive in the morning, and he's never
In Jail."
No doubt two meanings could DC taken
from these few words, but does Mr. Me-
Harg mean to intimate that the white and
the negro people do not work long enough,
and that it would be advisable to admit
the Chinaman so a.«s to use him an an In
strument to force the ordinary people to
work day and night? I think this is his
belief. If he will give this matter a little
more study he will make no more such
"break*" when he In called upon to speak
of a matter of such Importance. A. L.. D.
