Thtt irOTld not be an excessive enlarge

natural growth of the country as a
whole, and would give to the states
which are growing more rapidly proper
credit for their growth, without penal
izing the states which are increasing In
population at th same rate as the
ccuutry at large or nt a somewhat
smaller rate.
. So long as the House of Representa
tives clung to Ike idea that the present
chamber could not be enlarged and that
the doks which now .encumber it could
not bo dispensed with, there was a nat
ural opposition to marked increases in
membership. In ISOli after the census
of the previous year, tho House organi
zation strongly opposed an enlargement,
and the Cen?u« Committee, of which
Albert J. Hopkins, of Illinois, Was
chairman, reported an apportionment bill
practically retaining the old limit of
membership. Put the states which
would have lost members under such a
measure combined ir- defeat the com
mittee plan sad won enough support
to substitute th° present apportionment
law, prepared by Representative Bur-
Jeigh, of Maine, and designed to obviate
a threatened lo??of seats by Maine. Ne
braska and Virginia. Many important
states, including Missouri, lowa. In
diana, Ohio, Maine. Virginia, Kentucky
and Nebraska, would be affected by a
revival of the Hopkins plan of non
expansion. Their influence will doubt
•lf-!<j be enough to insure sufficient
Increase in membership to save any
state from the mortification of having
its representation reduced.
DIRECT NOMINATIONS.
The Democratic state platform con
tained a declaration for the enactment
of a state-wide direct primaries law "to
"insure to the people the right to choose
"members of political committees and
"nominate candidates for public office."
Governor-elect Dix is reported as intend
ing to go even further than the plat
form's declaration in his message. Pre
! sumably he will recommend some nomi
nating system for the consideration tit
the Legislature.
The Democratic state boss just now is
furnishing conclusive proof of the need
Of such a law. Those Democrats who are
protesting vehemently against the eleva
tion of Grady to the presidency of the
Senate and the appointment of Sheehan
or Cohalan to the United States Senator- i
ship give eloquent testimony that for all j
practical purposes Murphy Is the Demo
cratic party. If the defeat of the Re
publicans was a protest by the voters
against bossism, it was lamentable that
it saddled on the incoming administra
tion a boss of even greater power than j
the syndicate of Republicans whose acts
had aroused popular disfavor.
Direct nominations may or may not
suffice to abolish boss-ship of the Murphy
sort. Experience in various states at
least indicates that the direct primary
sufficiently disturbs a boss's self-con
fidence to keep him a reasonably safe
and sane individual. With party com
mittees elective at primaries would
Murphy force a Grady on a Senate some
of whose members were as opposed to
him as are the upstate Democrats?
Tammany Ball Democrats under the
leadership of Grady helped Old Guard j
Republicans to kill the Hughes direct .
nomination measure. The record of
Tammany In the Legislature is? not a
happf one for the proposed reform.
Grady's so-called direct nominations bill
was a farce. It is to be hoped that
Governor Dix will recommend a definite,
workable scheme for direct nominations
and hold parry colleagues, even from I
Tammany, to the consideration of that
system. And lest To Ill—lll prove un
ruly, we trust Senator Hinman or some
other Republican will reintroduce the |
principle of the Hughes measure, which j
had so much support. Democratic as |
well as Republican:
RURAL CORRUPTION.
j The stories of election bribery in
I Adams County. Ohio, delineate the
i rake's progress of a community. The
I judge who started proceedings against
j the vote sellers acknowledges that iv
jhis youth he, too, bought votes. The
j sheriff of the county declares that not
lone person lias been honestly elected
I to ofiee in the county in twenty years.
I A third of the voting population la said
jto have been habitually venal, and
i even men whose normal function in the
[community would, have been to exercise
a certain moral leadership are under

j gays the foreman of the Adams County
|{srand lady, "did not know they were

j The picture may be overdrawn. Noth
' :ng really comparable in extent with the
corruption of Adams County has ever
I boon known to exist in one of the big
cities of the country; in New York, for
: instance, with Its notorious ring poll
| ties. Put, then, rural corruption at its
worst probably exceeds municipal cor
ruption at its worst. And there is a
reason why It should. The very isola
tion of a rural community, which Is sup- ;
poaed to keep it in the paths of inno
cence and free from evil communica
tions, is its weakness once it has grown '
familiar with the face of a vice. When
a city goes on the downward path the
attention of other cities, of the nation,
of the world, perhaps. If its affairs arc
important: enongh, is directed to it, and
the opinion of other communities is a
potent factor In awakening its con
science. But the very obscurity of a
rural neighborhood keeps it from feel-
Ing the force of outside opinion. Its
affairs 1.-i <]: importance, and the stress
of publicity naturally falls upon city
matter?, the great newspapers of the
country l>eing published in cities, for
city readers chiefly, interested, as self
governing people, in the difficulties,
failures, problems and successes of
other cities.
When (j! rural community's moral
standards are weakened it does not
quickly experience the sensation of see
ing itself as others see it and of feeling
the scorn of outside communities not
corrupted a? It has been. The value
which a community sets upon the good
opinion of other communities ii •

BUSTLE MIGHT DO IT.
Adjournment of the Legislature by
April 1 is one of the cardinal points in
(Sir. recently announced creed of Assem
blyman Friable, slated for the Speaker
ship. Time was when the legislative
machine was engineered by a boss who
understood how. "and the three months'
session was the regular thing. When
the boss lost his grip and the Governor
kept his hand* off the sessions stretched
to four and five and six months, and
three extraordinary sessions were added
in the last live years.
Neither the domination of a boss nor
the interference of" a Governor is essen
tial to I reasonably short and creditable
legislative session. A little work in the
first month or two would relieve the
congestion of committee calendars in the
third to a remarkable degree. Attend
ance of legislators regularly for "five
days a week in the first two months and
prompt introduction of local bills would
go far toward making unnecessary all
day sittings at the end of a four months'
session. "IX. it now" is quite as appli
cable to legislators as to anybody in the
hustling business world. Maybe Mr.
Frisbie can pet his flock to work early.
It's a Democratic flock, and seems set
on "reforming" Republican methods.
Certainly he would be establishing .1
valuable precedent.
OF PUTTERS
When Mr. Harry Vardon in his "Com
plete Golfer" reaches the question of
putting, after one hundred and fifty
pages or so telling in exact detail just
how every other stroke is made where
the feet shall be, how the club shall be
gripped, what, the "follow through"
Is. and the thousand other things that
make up the true "form"' of — he re
marks lamely : "I hare no similar in
struction to offer in the matter of put
"ting. There is no rule and there is no
"best way. . . . The fact is that there
"is more individuality in putting than in
"any other department of rrolf, and It Is
"absolutely imperative that this individ
"iiality should be allowed to have its
"way. I seriously believe *thafe' every
"man has had a particular kind of put
"ring method awarded to him by Na
"ture." If he had added that it took a
particular kind of putter to enable him
to bring out the particular kind of put
ting concealed in his system by Nature j
he would have stated the prevailing im
pression, to which the St. Andrews ruling j
against "mallet heeded" putters runs
counter. That is why there is an out
cry over that ukase.
This feeling that a man ran put only
with one club, which perhaps has not yet
been invented, is so firmly established
that it will make acceptance of the Sti
Andrews rule difficult It is leading,
nevertheless, to the development of such
freak Instruments for coaxing the ball
into the cup that authorities jealous of
: the traditions of the game may be ."jus
\ tified in thinking it time to. interfere.
The Sehenectady putter, the most popu
lar instrument that /alls under the St.
i Andrews ban, looks no more inappropriate
a3 an instrument of golf than would a
blackboard eraser with a shaft stuck
In It, It is the least sinner, for as the
! heathen loves an ugly idol the golfer
seeking after new gods worships an ugly
putter; a very Rilllkens of an instrument
is sure to impress .him as the embodi
ment of good luck. Everything animate
and inanimate is imitated. There Is the
putter with the swan's neck, which for
sheer uugraeefulness would make a swan
die of shame. It resembles a putter as
much as a swan boat resembles a boat.
But some golfers respond to a mysterious
prompting — of that nature to which Mr.
Vardon bo respectfully alludes— to use it.
There is the putter which has an arch
of iron like a bucket handle over it from
heel to toe and a shaft extending tip
ward from the centre of this iron. And
there are the thousand other unblush
ing monstrosities that are drawn forth
from caddy bags on the putting greens.
.r>;lielJ<ally we may regret their ex- j
istence, but they do not change the
character of the game, and that is or
dinarily the reason for barring innova
tions in sports. A man may still miss a
six-inch put. with, the most perfect
adaptation of a soup ladle that was
ever taken out on the links, and that is
proof enough that they are all real put
ters. Our sympathy goes with the St
Andrews authorities. But let them be
philosophers. Golf was ever a phil
osopher's game, and where is poor laugh- j
able human nature ever stripped bo stark :
naked as when some pplny-footed putter
—perhaps the thirty-sixth in its owner's
collection — is pulled confidently out of
the bag and set in action?
TWO V&W CONSTITUTIONS.
The closing year sees two new consti
; tutions in course of formation and
I adoption in Europe, under widely differ-
I ent. conditions and of widely different
. characters. One is that of the Helena
' land of Elsass-ixithringen. of which we
were speaking the other d.iy as a pos
! sible new member of the German era
j pire. Apparently it is not to be that,
I for it is to have no representation In the
I Buudesrath, though it is to have a com
| plete system of domestic government,
\ with a Parliament of two chambers. The
upper chamber is to consist of thirty
i six members, of whom half are to be
appointed by the imperial government
and half are to be chosen by various
trades and professions, including certain
ex ofilcio members, such as the heads of
the Jewish, Catholic and Protestant
churches and a representative of the
University of Stritssburg. The lower j
chamber is to be elected by popular suf- 1
fiage of all males possessing ordinary
qualifications and twenty-five years old,
with two votes for each over thirty-five
aud three for each over forty-five. The i
state will sustain a relationship to the j
empire much like that of one of our ter- 1
ritories to the United States, belonging
to it but not being an equal part of it.
The other new constitution is that, of
Portugal, which presents some decided
novelties, the practicability' of which is j
to be determined by experience. The
prevalence of Socialistic doctrines hi sug
gested iii the provision for a single
chambered Legislature, elected by uni
versal suffrage for three years. The
President of the republic will be elected
by the Legislature, as in France, for five
y£ars, but will be ineligible for re-elec- I
tion until after the expiration of another j
regular term. The Cabinet will be based I
upon i- ''i fhe French and the American
systems. Most of Its members vi III be
appointed by the President In accordance
with the political complexion of the
Legislature and will be responsible to
-the Legislature, as In France. Hut the
ministers of -'the array, the navy, the
treasury and public works are to be con
sidered non-political and will not be re
movable by an adverse vote .of the Legis
lature such as would compel the others
■to resign. Their/tenure will, therefore, be
i similar to that of American Cabinet of
j ficers.
These new constitutions add to the
great variety of systems under which the
various nations of Europe are endeavor
ing to solve the problems of human gov
ernment—in some cases to see how much
of power can be retained for the personal
sovereign, and in others to see bow di
rectly self-government can be exercised
by the people. A comparison of all the
different constitutions would he instruc
tive, though perhaps a little bewildering.
We should find in it, however, a strong
confirmation of Pope's philosophy.
For forms of government let fools con
test;
Whate'er is bast administered is best.
For some of the best governed coun
tries have the worst constitutions, while
some of the worst governed have consti
tutions which are theoretically all but
perfect. The ruling factor, after all, is
the genius of the people and their ca
pacity for self-government. .
These are belated Christmas greetings
to our friend and neißhbor The Tribune
—but after next Saturday night it will
not have to det'eoid the state administra
tion at Albany, the first real vacation it
has had in sixteen years.— The New York

Champ Clark says he believes in Santa
Glaw. Belief in the stocking filling
saint should be an article of faith with
the whole Democratic party.
Professor Adams S. Hill, of Harvard
University, who died on Sunday, will be
remembered with gratitude as a pioneer
arnona: college instructors in teaching
students to write the English language
simply and clearly. He made lucidity
the test of good composition and
frowned on the sophomoric ponderosity
and eloquence which had previously been
too generally accepted as a mark of col
lege learning. American collegians do
not now write as well as they ought to,
but commendable progress has been
made toward better standards through
the labors of Professor Hill and the
many other teachers whom his ideas ana
methods Influenced.
The "jimswinger" coat arrives in Okla
homa at the same time tha.t tbe "panta
loon skirt" arrives in New York. The
"jimswinger" coat is defined by Gov
ernor-elect Cruce as "any old coat with
"long tails that flap out behind In the
"wjnri." The new skirt, as its name im
plies, is any old skirt without any tails
to flap out behind in the wind.
Seattle promises us the novel specta
cle of a recall election, which is to de
termine, whether the Mayor is to remain
in office or is to be dismissed as an un
profitable servant. The experiment will
be Interesting and instructive, though
we are not sure that it will inspire gen
eral emulation. It is a good thing to
have a penalty for unsatisfactory work
i:j office. It is a better thing for voters
io pay more attention to their candidates
and to make more sure that they are the
right kind of rn^n.
A dispatch about earthquake shocks
at David, Panama, contains the reminder
that that city is 206 miles west of Pan
ama. There are those, who may be sur
prised at the mention of such a dis
tance in a country which has been
scoffed at as tiny. In fact, Panama has
a territorial extent which would reach
from New York to Cleveland and a sea
coast of more than 1,250 miles.
The organization of a Spanish Literary
Circle In this city, composed of college
professors, consuls, journalists and busi
ness men. is a commendable step. It
will promote the study of a noble and
attractive literature which is not now
as well knoAvn to the non-Spanish world
as It should be and will increase prac
tical familiarity with that European
language which now stands third in the
numbers who use it and second in its
promise and potency of future utility.
When a single steamer from this port

THE TALK OF THE DAY.
It had long light curls, rosy cheeks and big
blue eyes. It was handsomely dressed and
neat .as wax when it fell and bad its head
smashed and both less cut off by a bag
gage cart near the Grand Central terminal
yesterday morning. The owner of the in
jured-beyond-repair doll looked sorrow
fully at the wreck and, turning to her
older sister, eaid: "Let's take it to grand
ma's and we'll have a funeral when all
the fun is over." The pieces were gath

SOCIALISM AND GOVERNORS
! Writer Sees Too Much Radicalism in
Conferences of State Heads.
j To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: "William George Jordan, of No. 172
I West 81st street, New york City, is DM
originator, it now seem?, of the ". Hooae
of Governor. ?." When Roosevelt called the
Governors together, a few years ago, the
public got the idea, as usual, that it was
i something original with himself. "The Cen
j tury Magazine" has been publishing Mr.
j Jordan, whose central idea seems to bo to
get the Governors of fill the states to agree
on uniform legislation. He scouts the idea
of national uniformity, while he falls to
see that state uniformity, which would be
state" socialism, would prepare, the whole
for easy translation into state and national
socialism in. Its wider sense. H would
come.
The friends of national uniform laws have
been working Ion? and vainly for their
realization. We have had a great variety
of calls along the line— marriage and di
vorce, child labor, compulsory education,
industrial education and many others. Mr.
Jordan says, "There are perhaps fifty
| great questions in this country to-day,
| wherein uniform laws stem essential for
j the best interests of all the states, and on
j these Congress is powerless to act." Count
! ing all that the various "sociologists" and
j socialists want, there are easily fifty, sure
enough.
But It will be the greatest blunder of the
age to give any more uniformity than we
! already have. Our every state is an im- j
mense country of itself. Every one of our
Governors should attend as strictly as pos- j
! slble to the needs of his own state. But
j Mr. Jordan is already intercepted if the
i Owen bill for a national health bureau
j passes. Perhaps all of his entire fifty laws
I would be pretty well embraced in this bu- j
reau, which, it Is said, covers every vital
department save that of the army and
! navy, while even over these it would also i
| exercise a lively jurisdiction. Roosevelt, j
i Taft, the life Insurance companies, the |
American Medical Association and many j
thousands of self-interested people are j
lighting for this bureau, while eighteen j
millions of other people are antagonizing j
It. There are enough enlisted in its inter- j
est to prove to Mr. Jordan that national |
uniformity is very much within the bounds j
of possibility.
! Mr. Jordan may mean well and think he I
has the solution of all the problems of the |
day in his hand: but in reality he is play- j
Ing to state- and national socialism, while,
withal, the growing possibilities of the
Owen bill scatter to the winds his every
proposition. The wise Governors of our
land will continue to keep his "house" at
the distance it deserves.

CUTTING DOWN THE VOTE.
To the Editor of the Tribune.
Sir: In addition to points you make anent
the election of Senators popular vote, J
you might have added that in the states j
of the solid South not only have the black
men been long since disfranchised, but also
half the white men as well. They get rid
of the white man by making the payment
of a tax a prerequisite for voting. This Is
worse than your point about a man in a j
small fitate having more voice than in a j
large state. Look up the laws and the j
resultant vote in Alabama, Mississippi, |
South Carolina, Virginia. Texas, etc."

AN ADMIRABLE RECORD.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: "William Orr, of Orr's Mills. N. V.,
celebrated his eightieth birthday on Friday,
December 23. Mr. Orr arrived in America
in 1547, oji the packet ship Olenmore, from
Belfatt, in the fairly good time of 03 days.
He cast his first vote for John C. FrCmont,
in 18M, and has voted for every Republi
can nominee for President since, never
having missed an election in all those
years.
Mr. Orr has read The Tribune for
nearly *ixty years, Is a. warm supporter
of President Taft and an ardent admirer
of Mr. Roosevelt. Mr. Orr auends to busi
ness every day, enjoys tha best of health,
outside of a little lameness. He expects to
vote for President Taft in 1312. Mr. Orr
was a firm believer In Governor Hughes,
and against all, said Mr. Hughes would
win by over 50,000.

THE PRICE OF OIL.
To the Editor of the Tribune.
Sir: The statement of Charles T. White
in a letter printed in The Tribune on Sat
urday that the price of oil in New York
City is six cents a gallon was a great sur
prise to mo. If true, why do I pay 10 3-10
cents a gallon at the cheapest grocery In
Poughkeepsio and draw it myself to my
residence? Fact Is, the suburban and rural
dweller is justified by the North Carolina
man and will not be deceived by half truths.

FROM A WOMAN WHO SMOKES. ;
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In reply to your query whether
women should be permitted to tmokc
in public places permit me, as one ad
dicted to the weed, to protest against the
present arrangement at the new Hotel
Ritz-Carltori, where men and women are
allowed to smoke In the principal rooms of
the restaurant. It is a bid for popular
favor, and it will be popular with the
deml-mondaines and those who ape their
ways, but It inevitably tends to drive out
refined trade. Refined women In this coun- !
try still hesitate to smoko in public. I, for
one, would like the privilege of taking three
or four puffs at a cigarette after dinner
in a room adjacent to the ladies' dressing
1 room, where no man is allowed to enter,
and where, therefore, objectionable women
will not care to congregate. If men and
women wish to smoke together at dinner
In a restaurant, let them retire to* a palm
garden or hire a private dining room.
