The .losir.- to reach an early adjourn ment, which Is uppermost hi the minds of Senators ami Representatlres, will be a restraining influence operating both ways — moving the conferrees to consult the* disposition of the two houses and impelling the members of both houses to avoid hypercritical estimates of the conference report. A similar factor will be the necessity of reaching an agree ment that will result in legislation, which has been intensified by the under standing that Mr. Taft ha* reached with the railroad presidents. A check which radical and insurgent, members of the Bsawe will be able to apply,' if any dis position exists to soften down the meas sun- to a degree unacceptable to *hem. lies it. the Senate bill which naairowly escaped acceptance on Tuesday. If dis satisfied with the tendencies of the eon 'ferenee, the House rmild probably at any time reconsider its appointment of a conference committee and pass the Senate bill. Thus the power of the conference committee to rewrite the bill to euit It self la subject to various limitations. But it may easily improve upon either of the bills before it. Bills which are passed in the expectation of being thoroughly recast in conference are not likely to be free from imperfections. SO 'CIVIL WAR" I y IOWA. Both the progressives and the "stand patters'' are claiming a victory in the lowa primary- The real significance of ! the result is found in the refusal of the Republican voters of lowa to dITW« themselves into two parties 'instead of i remaining .is two more or lees unstable and variable factions within one party. It is dear that Senator Cummins's ex travagant talk about an irrepressible conflict"' within the party was not taken any more seriously by level headed Re publicans in lowa than it has been taken by level headed Republicans else where. The junior Senator was glad to use an imaginary issue to strengthen himself in his fight to retain control of the iKirty organization. But the issue sot away from him before be was ready Is let it go. He had declared himself 'to be in irreconcilable opposition to Sena tors Aldrich and Elkins on issues aris ing out of attempted railroad legislation. Yet before the dale of the state primary arrived at which be had entreated the voters to decide between him and his op ponents lie made his entreaty meaning less by joining with Senators Aldrich and l'lkins in supporting the Senate's amended railroad bill. It is only natural under these circum stances that the lowa Republicans should have neglected the "irrepressible conflict" issue and fought out their dif ferences practically along old lines. Mr. Cummins was able 1o nominate himself for Governor three times in succession. The only break in his record of success ful leadership for ten years past was his failure to wrest the Senatorship from William B. Allison. He quickly regained control after Mr. Allison's death, and his forces have been put this year *n the iH>siti<«u of conducting a campaign from outside the breastworks only be cause the present Governor, Mr. Car roll, thought it wiser not to take sides between the "stand-patter!*" and the in surgents on questions of policy at Wash ington, but to seek re-election solely on his record in the Governor's chair. Since he would not fall in with the ideas and plans of Mr. Cummins the latter reluctantly decided to put a candidate iv the field against him in the person of ex-Lieutenant Governor Garst. The re sult of the compaign for the governor ship is in doubt, with the chances favor ing Mr. Carroll. As late as Monday it was conceded by "The Dcs Moines Regis ter and Leader.*' Mr. CuuiUiius's stancli e>i newspaper supporter, that die fight was not being made along Irrepressible conflict^ lines, and that many voters did not consider the issue between the pro gressives and "-Maud-patters"' to be in volved at all Eli the contest for state offices. In the Congress districl primaries such .■!!) issue could be much more legit imately made, for whatever differences there :tr^ bcts/eeu the two elements in the party in lowa concern legislation and methods In Congress, not policies at home.

THURSDAY. JUNE 9. 1910. tii July see the conquest .of tbe South Pole, but also imicli more than that. The Ant arctic region never aroused the interest and enthusiasm which the- North Pole kindled in the breasts of men. It lacked the historic glamour, the romantic tradi tion, the age-old defiance of conquest flaunted in the face »i conquering man by the frozen North. The attainment of Farthest South will merely yield another stirring tale of hardship, endurance and daring, but what has already begun to attract the attention of the world is the report that, gold may be found in those inhospitable regions iv paying quanti ties. This gives to the two expeditions an element of interest which i 3 not with out a touch of romance of its own. A CHILDISH SCHEME. The suggestion that the Legislature when it meets in extraordinary session should raise the question' of the Gov ernor's constitutional authority to call such a session and take the subject into the courts is evidently the happy thought of some tv 0 by four states man and constitutional lawyer. We do not suppose for an instant that any re sponsible member will seriously attempt to put It into effect. It proceeds from a misconception of the meaning of the words "on extraordi nary occasions,*' which are used in the state constitution to limit the authority of the Governor to call sessions of the Legislature. These words are used to make it clear that ordinarily and at its regular sessions the Legislature is not subject to a call from the Governor. But even if it is assumed that the in ventors of this new constitutional theory are correct in holding that a special ses sion may be vailed only when a great exigency exists, only when there is an "extraordinary occasion" for It even then the situation is not materially altered, for the Governor is the sole judge of what constitutes "an extraordi nary occasion." His action in calling' an extra session is not subject to re view. Whatever the meaning of the phrase, it is left with the .Governor to decide whether or not a reason exists for the calling of an extra session. When the Legislature meets there is only one dignified tiling to do, however much its member* may smart over being recalled, and that is to a (> upon the Governor's recommendations. The legislature must accept thorn or reject them and then adjourn. It cannot afford to behave like a petulant child. Tlii: FIGHT .1 ' /1/ \S r 7// E 11. V. The Health »'onir issioner, Dr. Le derle, does well to call the attention of the public anew t<» tli»* desirability of waging a systematic and persistent cam paign against the house fly and to the practical means and methods, for niak inir that campaign effective. Some of the so-called sanitary or hygienic move ments of recent yean have gone too far. or in an injudicious direction. Some persons have become microbe mad — morbid on tbe subjeci of chiefly imagi nary •'germs." But the campaign against the fly. like that against the mosquito and that against the rat and that against the pollution of water with sewage, i- commended by positive knowledge as well as by the most ordi nary observation. The dirt which a fly carries, and which would bo bad enough on its own ac count, is well known to be capable of conveying of the deadliest of diseases U is doubtless true that un counted millions of Hies have crawled upon articles r»f food without causing a single case Of illness; but it i* also doubtless true that a large proportion of so-called "sporadic" cases of diseases BDCfa as typhoid and diphtheria may be Correctly attributed to the agency <>t Hies. an ,j that from this source proceed many, if not most, of the cases of eu terJc trouble among children -"summer < < ■luplaint" and cholera infantum — is scarcely to be questioned. The practicability of very largely abating the plague of flies is sufficiently indicated to warrant tbe undertaking. In several large cities and in one coun try vats have been almost entirely ex terminated. In extensive regions where once they were almost Incredibly abun dant and pernicious mosquitoes have been caused to disappear or to become so BCanee as to offer no menace to life, health or comfort. The tiy is larger than the mosquito, and therefore its presence is more easily detected, and it is far less teqacious Of life, and there fore is more easily destroyed. The literature of practical instruction on this subject which tlie Health Board la about to put forth will be welcome and will deserve the careful perusal and practi cal application of the public. PARADOXES. A report read to the United State? Brewers' Association, which is holding ■ convention in Atlantic City, seems to reconcile two sets of paradoxes when it says that though the territory in which alcoholic beverages can be legally -old I- being steadily contracted the sale of such beverages is rapidly increasing, and that though the people of the United States drink larger quantities of stimu lants each* year they are nevertheless becoming more and more temperate. There is. therefore, son)* 1 cheer in the outlook for every one — the prohibitionist, the maker and seller of alcoholic drinks and the advocate of their use intelli gently and In moderation^ The brewers say that they rejoice in the spread «if temperance They ought to. for they have most to gain by the substitution of beer for heady and in jurious hard liquors The paradox of a greater per capita sale of alcoholic bev erages now than before the prohibition movement became so powerful is prob ably explained in part by the freer use of beer and light wines in communities which Lave been educated to prefer them to ales and whiskey. The brewers have nothing to fear from the spread of habits of moderation,; and the better the product they turn out and th" lower its percentage of alcohol the greater will he the service they do to the cause of temperance -Ant] order.' The sale of liquor in this country has been sur rounded with many disagreeable" asso ciations, and it would be a great gain lor sobriety and good conduct if it could be Invested with greater respectability. The brewers lament the intolerance of prohibition. Bui it is another paradox, which their report does not dwell upon, that the alma of the prohibitionists should be bo nearly Identical with their own avowed aims. The prohibitionists have been led to attack the liquor traf ■c chiefly because at its abuses- espe cially its abuses against the family and public order. But the brewers could not promote their own interests better than by eradicating those abuses and mak ing t!i«- beer t raffle as unobjectionable he/* as it is in Germany. TV brewers ba • therefore a signal opportunity to outdo oven the prohibitionists as tem perance workers. I'l RE rOOD DECIBIOSB. A collection of short reports of viola tions of the national pure food law just issued by the Department of Agricult ure records the following penalties im poped within the last year or < two: For polling bogus lemon and strawberry flavbring extracts. ?4<X»: olive oil adul terated with cottonseed oil. ?T»0: an article which purported to be gin but was not derived from the juniper berry, 925; a mixture of skim milk cheese and starch labelled -'cream cheese," ? 10. and a . substance which was credited with the quality of imparting the character istics of true butter to an imitation, $1. Other instances mentioned in the re ports included 160 cases marked "Elgin Creamery Butter," but made at Pierce ville, III: 1,500 sacks labelled "White Oats." but containing several kinds of grain, and 25 packages of what was rep resented to be Roquefort cheese, though it did not come from France and lacked the traits of the Roquefort product. In each of these three cases the defendants pleaded guilty, but they were not com pelled to pay a fine. They were merely required to file a bond which pledged them not to sell the particular lots of merchandise in question in the United States. It is noteworthy that while all the decisions here enumerated were ren dered by United States District courts no two of them were given in the same district. No doubt some of the diversity in the judgments was duo t% differences in the amounts of the frauds, expressed in money. Besides, it is possible that extenuating circumstances may have been so urgently presented by counsel that some milder sentences were im posed than might have been expected. Nevertheless, after due allowance has been made for these influences, it still looks as if certain offenders had got off too easily. A day's dispatches from the peaceful solitudes round about Pittsbarg illus trate tho precarionsness of country life.

It is all right for the Mayor to scruti nise that Brooklyn and Manhattan ferry company contract.

Probably what puzzles Mr. Davis n»w is whether he hn.s tost ground through talking too much and too extravagantly or talking too little and not extravagantly enough. IMF TALE OF THF DAY. "The Boston Herald," after a thorough investigation, has decided on the reason for th© opposition of the brewers of Massachu setts to the new "bar and bottle law" in that state, which goes into effect next year. The law takes from the salmon the right to tell bottled liquor?. It leaves to the holder of the first c!a?s license the right only to tell liquors "to be drunk on the premises." Its purpose is to prevent the workingman v.ho has bought drinks in a saloon from buying in the same place— frequently under the Importunities of the seller— bottled liquor to be taken an-ay, with which to continue his drinking on the streets or in his home. "The brewers," Bays "The Her ald." "were the interests apparently most Interested in the defeat cf the- bill. "Why should a bar and bottle bill, whose pur poses are as above described, so concern gentlemen whose business it is to brew beer? Hero is the answer: More than SO per cent of the retail liquor traffic in the city of Boston is controlled In whole or In l.art by the local breweries and their busi ness associates."

Sir: Th*> action of the machine bosses at Albany in yielding to the demands of the clergy regarding anti-racetrack gambling legislation and yet holding out against direct nominations seemed to carry with it a reflection on the Intelligence of clergy men and moral reformers generally. ; '_ It seemed to carry the implication that clergymen, churchmen and other moralists were not hroad enough to see that the res-, toration and preservation of genuinely rep resentative government was of much greater importance than securing even any kind of racetrack legislation and were blind enough to be unaware of the bribery and other worse immoralities which bom control of nominations, elections and ap pointments everywhere produces and en courages, j* It i: gratifying, therefore, to read this morning that the Methodist ministers of great"! New York, in session in your city on Monday, distinctly declared by resolu tion that "11 is the Church's duty to sound the alarm against the theft of popular rights and for the restoration of free gox~ ernment," and the appeal of the same reso lution "to every patriotic citizen to write his Senator and Assemblyman to support Governor Hughes at the extra session with his vote and whole influence, for the pas sage of a direct nominations bill acceptable to Governor Hughe?." / Of the representations made to the Gov ernor on the same day by a New York delegation regarding boss control of the present so-called primaries, and if the rep resentations of such magazine writers as Gou\erneur Morris, in "The Claws of the Tiger." a.«? to ■organization" rule In New York are anywhere near the truth, the de cisive action of these clergymen seems un usually praiseworthy.

I mean nothing more or less than the rank favoritism which flourished for years behind that specloua phrase of the "courtesies of the port.** When they are legitimate courtesies no one in his senses could object to them.

SLAUGHTER OF THE GOOSE? To the Editor of The Tribunr. Sir: Protesting commuters arc heard on all sides, but mainly from the point of view of the aggrieved patron, so far* as I have observed. This is not likely to avail. But there is an argument more likely to appeal to the roads, for, in view of the reported tendency to an exodus from city to sub urbs, probably more marked than ever be fore, it should occur to the managers of the railroads that in raising the rates of com mutation they are injuring to an important extent th? prospects of doing an increased business in freight. Each new commuter means 9 family moving to the suburbs, and each fami'V moving to the suburbs means the necessity for increased supplies, and the necessity for supplies means additional tons of freight Jo be carried. In this connection occurs the prospective freight rate increase. Do the railroad managers figure that by raising their freight rates they will offset the loss to their roads by th.- diminution of passenger patronage? Or, on the other hand, is it more profitable for the railroads to do the minimum freight carriage at the maximum rate tlinn an enormously Increased freight business, at present rates, which rates avstn fairly satisfactory to producer and shipper? These sudden increases in commutation an I freight will put th< community back to the very unsatisfactory condition from which It is gradually emerging, and peems very shortsighted on the part of the nil road companies.
