PO?LTICIXG THF ?XJURED.
The publication o? Hi?? letters ex
Bhanged between Olonol Harvey and
Governor Wilson after the memorable
exhibition of "austerity" and "ingTatl
Inde" at the Manhattan ?Tlnb leaves the
?part assnm??d by Colonel Watterson In
tbe dissolution of partnership there ef
fe?'t??d more puzzlin?? than ever. The
lgtter colonel's original role approxi?
mated to that of the chorus In the
Greek drama. The two protagonists met
fa) bis chambers, and he was expected to
?witness the parting scene and by his
gage reflections to smooth over the era
faarrassments and irritatloub of the situ?
ation. He had already advise?! Gov
?rnor Wilson that Colonel Harvey's
gupport ought at least to be moderated.
Yet when that advice was acted upon
all too literally and peremptorily the
eenlor colonel forgot his duties as an
Impartial intermediary and flew to the
defence of the junior colonel, whose feel?
ings had been too brutally lacerated.
The impulse to sympathize with a re?
buffed President maker, who stood in
the same relation to Governor Wilson In
whi.'b Colonel Watterson fondly Imag?
ined that be had once stood t?> Samuel
J. Tilden, was creditable enough, even
on the part of a witness supposed t<> be
discharging semi-judicial functions. Rut
it 1s difficult to understand on what
Colonel WataVrson presumed (o

THF GENERAL VIEW OF TFir PHE1

Probably the answers lo the Nation;

fair index as t?> public opinion concert

thousand persons, representing varhui
element! of society,, who replied, only ~
percent want Ihe law repealed. Right)
four p?*r cent, however, think that th
law is not dear, end there ?s a genera
desire to have il amended to "make It.
as the Federations analysis of the con
implications summarizes their langnagt
"so that business men can nnderstai
it." Thi*- is :i natural attitude. Tve

It Is easy to write, ti the thousand)
of correspondents have written I o tbt

ought to be made dear. But the difli
culty is in making it clear without weak

THE RECALL OF JUDGES
Mr. Tafffi Oppofiition to It a "Model of

To the Editor of The Tribuna?.
Hlr: The apeeoh of President Taff at the
OMs Society dinner on Saturday night was.
in my humble opinion, a model of aound
common aenee?a virtue. It would appear,
not Inaepa.able from prof?resslveness.
While, as the President said, the need for
jLdges?for men whose training (Its them
under ??omptex condition!, to determino what
abstract Jtistlc.? and righteousness la?exists,
th? need for their independence Is equally
pronounced. To make th- periods at which
ihe formality of their reelection shall be
SbBSnred short nn?-i may be wise, hut to
attempt to nullify their usefulness and de
sire to give the psopls th?* beet and Mgbssl

The Whole agttattOU aient the n-ferendurn
