No Barnes Republican for Speaker.
The .\s-emblymen-eieet who in conference have
deler..iiin-d i<- stand for revision of tho Assembly
rain jui'i nut to -support any boas nominated can?
dldato far tho Speakership of tho next Assembly
ara taking an unassailable position, if tbej stick
to it thoy ?-an ?win. unless tiio unenlightened and
hidebound machine members of tho Republican
and Democratic parties in the lower boose unit?'
on n candidate in opon, tomen, bipartisan alliance,
It la to bo expected that the next Speaker Will
be a Republican. He should be. as that party Will
have a clear majority of the membership of the
Assembly. Hut for the best interest of the party
and the best interest of the state he should not be
a mar-hine Republican.
He should not be r Harnes Republican. No man
takinp office with the band of Mr. Barnes on his
shoulder will have the confidence of the voters.
No Assembly presided OYor by a machine-sole.-D-d
and machine-elected Speaker can expect to bare
the approYal of the Tnters for ils acts. The men
who will take tho oath of oAce next January
might as well understand that at the very begin?
ning of their consideration of this subject, the hip
post one likely to demand their attention.
Mr. Ultiman, leader of the Republican minority
this year, is being boomed as the "regular" or "or?
ganization" candidate for the fcpeakership. He
comes from Mr. Barnes's county. It is his mis?
fortune that he is known as "Barnes's Assembly
man." It would be his party's misfortune if he
ever came to be known as "Barnes's Speaker."
It will be the fault of the progressive, up-to-date
Republican Assemblymen-elect and the progressive
members of the party who hope to see it other
than I minority party in this state if there is ever
'
even n probability ?if simli gg occurrence.
There Is now, in the reorganisation of the As
] and the work of that body under Republl
ciiii control ill the coming year, un opportunity at
band to regain for the party public respect, public
confidence, public approval and support. This can
not be if in the most important act of the new bodj
it continue*; the traditions and habits which made
the Republican Assembly of 1912 a failure ami a
laughing Stock, The Speaker of the Assembly is,
next to tho GOTCmor, the chief figure in the state's
government Even a drastic revision of the rules
Of that house, which would deprive him of some
nf the arbitrary power past Speakers have wielded,
would not in any degree diminish the necessity for
the utmost care and wisdom in electlnp this im?
portant official.
Fortunately for the Republican party and the
state, there is material In the coming ?sseniMj for
the selection of a Republican Speaker who shall
not bear any boss's brand, and who shall not take
Ids political ideas from tho last generation. And
the choice is not limited to one man. either.
Nothing is of more vital importance to the U<'
publican party in New York State than the election
of a Speaker with the poBtlca* ideas, ideals and
aspirations of the present moment, and Imagina
tion and intelligence enough to realize that a po?
litical party can only deserve success by striviup
to meet the needs and the hopes of the people
The Tiger Across the Bridge.
Thoae Brooklyn Democrats who have boon strlr?
lug mtphtily in recent years to drive the Tig?? back
across the bridpe have been working on a wholly
mistaken notion, Tammany didn't absorb Kings
County when, soon after "Tat" McCarrea's death.
the Hon. .lohn 11. McCuoey became the head Of the
Brooklyn Democracy. Designation of IfcOooey as
"Murphy's section boss for Brooklyn*1 is ? mis
li'iiner, Brooklyn has autonomy. "The Chief"
hinis.-if has said it.
Murphy echoes now what the late Mayor GaynOT
sjiid many, many months apo about Tammany as
the Democratic organisation la New York County.
It is unfortunate that "the Chief" does not keep
more UP to date. Otherwise he'd realize that tho
community, havinp at its disposal the much later
Qaynor strictures on the rule of the Delmonlco
BftWCtoratit must know how information from the
Uiaiilo had altered the late Mayor's views. Mur?
phy's talk about Brooklyn autonomy is purely
l'i?kwicki;in.
A Cure for Alcoholism.
Mayor otad Jermyn of Bcrantoo has in mind the
institution of pouce reforma which the into Mayor
Oaynor would applaud, it seems that Bcranton lias
been in Hi?' habit Of gathering her Intoxicated cele?
brants into her jail and. in default of the payment
td small films, of feedlnp most of them for three
and four days there at the city's expense. The
fines collected, Mr. .Jermyn finds, do not begin to
meet the annual bill of about 96,000 for food for
the?-., offenders.

A Great Opportunity at Rockaway.
It is encouraging to see that th?* Improvement of
the city's park property at Rockaway is being taken
in hand with both energy and discr?'ii<?n. Numerous
prominent landscape architects and engineers are
entering into competition with plana, which ?ire to
be passed upon by experts, so that we may h??pe the
development of the trad will be ?effected in good
taste and for the good of all the various interests
which are to be served.
There Is certainly a great opportunity at Rocka?
way. New York is almost unique among the great
cities of the world In being ?-?. situated Huit it can
have within it? ?hounds a seaside park with a long
stretch of superi? sandy beach ?frosting directly
upon the open sea. i'.ut that beach has in addition
the broad expanse of Jamaica Bay behind it. giving
it a seml-lnsular situation, with both surf ami still
water.
in Central and ?Prospect parks great opportunit?s
were greatly improved. In some respects the op?
portunity at ?Rockaway Is greater still; at leant in
its unique features.
The Waldo Petition.

almost ."..?mni.o/ni others, we Imagine, ?none "f whom
would mourn his passing ami the majority .,f wboni
would sigh <?*.cr it with relief.
The retention <?f Wald?? |,y ?Mayor Kline had this
much justification, that Mayor Kline, in bis shoit
term of a fow months, was naturally reiUctaul f"
break a new man into th" difficult job of Pol lee
Commissioner, with the probability that be would
last only until January i. Ami then the Mayor ob?
tained assurances from Waldo that the latter
would ?cease bis perfor?e attitude in police matters

The human propensity to Idealize tin- n_ur?*s ol
bygone generations with aide splashes of mental
pigment lias a tendency to warp our Judgment ot
the present Th?? late ?Senator Lyman Trambull's
testimony that Lincoln was smong th?* moel am

and potential grandeur.
Ami now ?Professor Bean!, ??f Columbia comes
along wiih ".\n Economic interpretation of the

?points out that tin- "inter?-?!?." ..f thai day were

Washington, Franklin, Robert Morris. James Wil?
son and William Blount, were, many ?>f them, land
speculators and promoters beul upon feathering
their own nests. ?Professor Beard is not drawing
upon his Imagination. He baa original material to
prove these things.
The point Is that it cannot make the Constitu?

its frsmete repreeeuted the pt-opert*- Intereets <?t

did to realize thai he was an otBceeeeker by pro*

to a ?proper and more sympathetic appraisal <?f our
