A FORCED VOTE.
, Postmaster General Meyer Is griev
ously troubled over the possibility
that over-confidence may so reduce the
enthusiasm of the supporters of Mr.
Taft as to lead to that gentleman's de
foat. He says: "There are thousands
of voters In every state who do not get
out to the polls unless they feel there
Is a necessity for their vote. Therefore
If Interest Is not sufficiently aroused
and the Importance of this coming
election appreciated, Beveral states may
be lost by default."
1 Mr. Meyer's apprehensions provoke
an Interesting train of thought. Assum
ing that part of the business of cam
paign committees is to arouee enthusi
asm and get the vote out, the thought
suggests itself, whether at some future
date the art of forcing enthusiasm, as
farmers sometimes force their chick
ens or their squabs, may not be carried
to a point where It will be necessary
for the state to step In, in order to
protect the ballot box against a definite
form of corruption. The corrupt prac
tices legislation already upon the sta
tute books of Connecticut, though by
no mean perfect, can be directly trac
ed to the abuses in political manage
ment, which had their Inception In the
need of manufacturing enthusiasm. In
tho attempt to overcome superlative
confidence, or to present to the voters
the sense of their responsibility In tak
ing nothing for granted, practices have
crept in which have been adjudged cor
rupt. Isn't It conceivable, that an ex
traordinary attempt this year to over
come what is notoriously undemonstra
tive thus far might Introduce efforts,
which, from subsequent imitation,
would require the state to altogether
forbid In the future any efforts to fat
ten the vote market.
The art of enthusing the electorate
and getting out the vote . Is no such
email thing that serious evils may not
come in the wake. But there Is still
another side of this managing respon
sibility to which Mr. Meyer calls at
tention. Take here in Connecticut,
where It Is deliberately proposed to
nominate for governor on the ticket of
the dominant party a man, who has
lost Immensely In the confidence of his
own people. It Is true that tne ma
i chinery of the party, committed to him
In advance, Is displaying its ability to
land delegates for him, but only a small
percentage of the registered vote of the
Republican party is represented in the
poll. Throughout the rank and file of
the Republicans of the state' there Is a
deep seated resentment at the manner
in which they are being led like lambs
to the shambles to gratify the power
of the bosses. It is no uncommon ex
perience to encounter Republicans, who
say openly that, If Lllley Is nominated
for governor they shall pot vote for
him. They live In Waterbury, and In
every city In the state, where the vot
ing strength Is to be found.
Suppose , these ante-convention
threats are carried to the council room
of the party organization and It Is
there seen that what was said In warn
ing before the convention had become
a fearful fact; that a large protest will
be entered at the polls. A situation will
be at once created, which will give a
new meaning to the words of the post
master general. lAre, then, any means
to be adopted which will drive the mut
tering voters Into line? Is it to be the
proposition' then of the Republican
managers, that their stupidity in Sep
tember is to be cured at any cost of
justice by the whip in November?
These and other questions group them
selves gravely a'nd apprehensively
about the early fears of Mr. Meyer,
whom we take to be a practical politici
an enough to believe, that the best way
to get the vote out for his party ticket
Is to exercise wisdom before the tick
et Is placed In nomination. It la not
enough to do It In a national conven
tion. Good work there should be fol
lowed by good work" in a state conven
tion. A stitch in time saves nine.
Now it Is the Sultan of Morocco who
la having his troubles. The sultans and
czars seem to he having their troubles
In this enlightened age, whether in
Turkey, Russia or 'Africa.
THE MINNESOTA JOHNSON.
Events appear to bs shaping the po
litical career of Governor John A.
Johnson of Minnesota. He has re
cently been giving an Illustration of a
jnan In charge of his own destiny only
to find an uproariously enthusiastic
democratic convention planting Itself
squarely In his way, and demanding
that he turn right about face. Con
trary to his wishes he has been nomi
nated for the third time to the highest
office within the gift of the people
of that state and has been obliged to
accept.
Though disinclined to run sgnln for
the office, the final acceptance of the
nomination suggests that Governor
Johnson does not agree with tha po
litical star gazers and readers, who see
In his possible defeat this fall, on ac
count of presidential enthusiasm, his
removal from public life. It Is not at
all clear why the conclusion should
ibe reached, that because he may be
defeated this year on account of the
commanding popularity and fitness of
(Mr. Taft, his removal to private life
follows. Defeat has had no discour
agement on the political fortunes of
(Mr. Bryan. ' For the third time he has
ibeen nominated for the presidency.
But Governor Johnson's possible de
feat would follow two triumphant
elections In a state usually controlled
securely by the republicans. It would
appear that It should take more than
such a turning down at such a time
-to ruin his usefulness as a candidate
for office of his political house of
Zlon.
A much more sober view of Gover
nor Johnson's hold on the esteem of
the voters would suggest the rontln
uance of his political prestige with
out regard to the outcome of his ex
perience this fall. Ills election would,
of course, largely increase the value
of his stock but defeat would not re
duce It to the liquidating point, The
rise of Governor Johnson has to do
with certain intellectual and moral
qualities, which are not set aside be
cause of their failure to score under
particularly adverse conditions. He
iwlll not represent less, as personify
Jng specified political virtues, because
he is not permitted toy the people of
'Minnesota to stand in the way of Mr
ITaft securing the electoral vote of
that state.
The fact Is that Governor Johnson
Is a man of ability, character and so
brlety. He has progressed 'because he
possesses the powers which always do
'progress when put to the test. If the
opportunity is denied him to sing In
the executive chair for another term,
It will be found that later another sort
of a bird cage has been made for him.
A single defeat this year will not kill.
iHe Is a live bird.
THE VICE niESIDENCY.
John W. Kern of Indianapolis, the
candidate for vice president on the
democratic ticket, appears to have the
rame hazy views as to the usefulness
of the vice presidential office that Mr.
Bryan and many others have, who
persistently Ignore the obvious pur
pose of the founders in creating such
an office at all.
The original suggestion of lifting
the vice president out of the unseem
ly environment Into which stupid pol
iticians have lowered It, and making
him a political person of Importance,
came from Mr. Bryan and was un
questionably Inspired by a profound
desire to reinforce the situation. It
Is Mr, Bryan's Idea that the occupant
of the vice presidential office should
be second only to the president; lie
might live with the president In the
White House, but whether domiciled
there or elsewhere he should become
a menvber of the cabinet by courtesy
and thus at all times be In intimate
touch with the policies and practices
of the administration. With this view
Mr. Kern sympathizes, and probably
hundreds, who have never taken the
trouble to consider the proposition,
agree with him.
If It were true that the vice presi
dency had lost in public esteem be
cause of some Inherent weakness in
the office Itself which ought to be
cured, or if It were impossible to cure
the evil complained of without a rev
olutionary enterprise, it would be well
enough to let these thoughtless rec
ommendations run their course. The
truth Is that the vice presidential of
fice haa been reduced to its present
condition through the failure of the
nominating conventions to select men
of presidential timber to fill It. The
theory of the constitution Is that such
a man should always be selected for
the office, In order that, If anything
happened to the president, he would
be Intellectually and morally fit to
take his place. Until that something
happened he should preside over the
deliberations of the senate, It Is en
tirely unnecessary, if he is a fit man,
to be further prepared for possible
service by being received into the cab
inet by courtesy, and given a hall bed
room In the White House Does any
body suppose for a moment that en
listment In the cabinet of President
McKlnley, and a room or two in the
White House, would have affected
Prsident Roosevelt's politics, which
may lie said to have been adopted nnd
enforced in defiance of McKinley's ex
ample? The question carries with It
its own emphatic response.
The practical way to elevate the of
fice to Its proper place Is to let the
public educate itself In a new and
more favorable view of Its dignity, on
t the ono hand, and, on the other
charge the delegates to nominating
conventions with the task of selecting
for vice president onlyitnen of pres
idential timber. No citizen of the
country should view with the horror
Governor Roosevelt did the possibility
of being nominated to that office. Ro
long as the public and nominating
conventions regard the office In its
present Hglt, Just so long will all
theoretical attempts to elevate It fail
as they must fall. The Improvement
must be sought at the source of Jhlnga,
not at Its mouth.
AGAIN THE STATE POMCE.
If the story sent out from Middle-
town and given widespread circulation
Is true about the raid of the state
police on certain residents of that city
of Italian birth, then a grievous
wrong has been done all concerned.
It appears that Ave Italian residents
of Mlddletown were visited 'by mem
bers of the state police force and were
asked to sell their visitors some lager
beer. It Is further stated that the re
sponse was the same In each Instance,
that lie did not keep a saloon and did
not have beer for sale; that while
there was beer on the premises It was
for private consumption. Refused the
beer, the officers proceeded to search
the suspected houses and took away
what beer was found. A controversy
having arisen between the officers and
the neighbors, the former drew their
guns and proceeded to fire, Inflicting
Injuries.
If these are the actual facts the
state police department has something
to do in order to preserve the princi
ples of juctlce in the good old state
of Connecticut. The alleged action of
the police Is not to be tolerated a mo
ment. It Is a serious thing indeed to
thus Initiate the new comers among
us to such a shocking misdirection of
Justice, The laws of the common
wealth must be enforced but not at
the sacrifice ot fair play.
THE HAZING CASE ENDS.
In insisting that the eight young ca
dets charged with hazing at West Point
should be expelled, Col. Hugh L. Scott,
the superintendent, was obviously of
the belief that such a summary action
was needed. The recent act of congress
prescribed that every endet guilty of
hazing should be expelled; Col. Scott
was convinced that there had been
hazing and that he had found the guil
ty parties, and he was left no alterna
tive but to order their expulsion.
If his decision has now been re
versed entirely or In part by Secretary
Wright, President Roosevelt or both,
their interforence tins come more as
punishment and ii rebuke to th super
intendent than anything else. The hit
ter's ability to determine what Is and
what Is not hazing tins ben Impeach
ed. His authority has been made a
laughing-stock with the cadets. Al
though not charging him out and out
with being nn Incapable superintend
ent, the government officials Indirectly
Imply that of him and In such a way
that he must suffer a loss of authority
with every cadet. The question natur
ally follows whether the high officials
have done right In overriding the col
onel's authority without putting a sitp-fiintendi-nt
In his place that Is capa
ble of making hazing decisions to thrir
way of thinking. Certainly their action
will not tend to lessen the amount of
hazing at West Point under Col. Scott
In the future.
There Is good reason to bilieve Col.
Scott knew what he was doing when
he decided to expel the eight hazers,
especially when he had the law, a con
gressional ruling, before him. The
Colonel hlmsolf was found guilty of
hazing during his own cadet days. His
offence was followed by suspension
only. He was set back a year without
pay or allowances. In those days ex
pulsion was not stipulated. But his
own experiences must have taught hi in
Just what constituted hazing, Secre
tary Wright and his dictionary defini
tions of hazing, mentioned In his order
suspending six of the present eight
cadets,! to the contrary. Colonol Scott
was in a position to know what the
objections to hazing at the academy
are. If his good Judgment has been se
verely rebuked, the government should
now take steps to counteract the de
leterous effect Its order will have with
the West Point discipline under his
superintendence. '
THE VEXEIt'ELA PREDICAMENT.
There continues to be a persistent
and not unnatural feeling that, if the
present troubles between Holland and
Venezuela finally come to a crisis,
President Castro, the nominal dictator
of the South American republic, will
easily come to terms. That gentleman
has shown himself to be. the Sultan of
Turkey in this respect. He is the es
sence of arrogance, and one might
Judge ho were unafraid of the combin
ed armies and navies of the world, as
long as the powers are willing to tol
erate his actions and baby him along.
Hut when any one of the powers final
ly loses Its patience and really threat
ens hlin with actual harm, he gives In
and Is as docile as a lamb.
There are many reasons to hope that
Holland will not decide to come to open
hostilities with Venezuela, however
equal to the occasion sne mlRht prove
heriw'lf. One reason Is largely senti
mental. Aside from the regrets that
nil must feci In this enlightened age,
when two nations cannot come to an
to i agreement without recuurse to thu U-
logical argument of brute force, ther which he holds. Perhaps this Is true;
i. .u. j.,t ( ,hi probably It Is not true, In view of ths
Is the special consideration In tn1'1 , ,luity to Hughes of up-state repuhll
case that Holland Is today the center : cans unit ot tunny thousands of voters
and home of the world-peace move-
ment. It Is the Hnnue that Is the scene
of the peace congresses. There, too, Is
the pence palace, Holland seems the
last country In the world to seek re
course to arms as the only available
means of settling on International dif
ficulty. let such an arrogant, uncommuni
cative person as Castro, Is, who per
sists In dealing with nations In a man
ner that Is quite as dictatorial as are
his relutlons with the so-called repub
lic which he rules, cannot forever he
tolerated. Holland can see no reason
for the peremptory way In which Cas
tro decided that Minister de Reus was
persona nnn grata and ordered him
out of Venezuela almost without a mo
ment's warning and with no word of
satisfactory explanation. Furthermore,
with the agreement that has now been
reached with the United States, name
ly that, if redress was Bought with
arms, there would be no objection by
us on the grounds of the Monroe doc
trine, there are now no entanglements
that Holland need fear, should she de
cide to punish Castro and bring him
to his senses. The I.'nlted States, the
universally recognized corrector of
Venezuela, has agreed to stand by and
offer no objection. To Holland have
been transferred temporarily the puni
tive powers. France and not a few oili
er powers would quid: enjny the sport
of seeing Castro worsted.
If arms must he sought; It may bo
hoped that Holland will see the wis
dom of an effectual blockade, as coin
pared with an actual entry into Ven
ezuela. The same ends could thus very
quickly he gained without any losses
of life or property on either side,
whereas, as has been pointed out, the
landing of troops would be only the
signal for Immediately uniting the ad
herents of Castro the more. That would
leave Venezuela more "Custro-lzed'
than ever after the present difficulty
Is settled, a condition much to be re
gretted.
The citizens of Connecticut will
learn with gratification of the determ
Inatlon of former Governor McLean to
return to public life at the first sulta
ble moment. The announcement not
only means that hP Is now fully restor
ed to health but that the people are to
still enjoy the Inspiration of his lead
ershlp when the time comes. Governor
Mclean hae earned from the people of
Connecticut whatever honor ho aspires
to.

fact, that those who have many times
