The fact that one state has two members and one circult three offers little encouragement for urging an ap- pointment purely on the basis of geo- graphical representation. Neverthe- less, It would mot do to ignore this conslderation altogether in the recast- | ing of the court.

It was fore- ordained that Indiana would present Senator Beveridge for re-election on his brilliant record in national affairs, and yet to endorse his course without qualification must be endorsement of his vote against the tariff bill on its final passage and detract from the commendation of President Taft and his adwinistration. The demand for a tariff commission and for further tariff changes, a8 the findings of such a com mission may warrant, wnich is in har-| mony with the president’s oft-expressed ideas, offers some common ground, but it does not alter the fact that the ex- {sting tariff was enacted as a repub- lican measure and is generally con- ceded, even by those who are dissatis- fied with it, to be a decided improve- ment on what preceded, Unless the campaign in Indiana is to be a purely personal campaign, the bond of union for consolidating the re- publican forces against the democrats must be the devotion of the rank and tile to republican principles, and the support of & republican president in his efforts to carry out the pledges of the platform on which he was elected. If we are to have republican success in the next election there must be a sink- |ing of factional differences and a real effort to get all elements of the party together to advance republican poli- cles. The only hope of democrats in Indiana, as well as in other states, lies in splitting the republicans apart and kee¢ping them at war with one another. It would be foolish for republicans, in surgents or regulars, to help the demo- crats achieve this object. A Wisconsin Decision. The supreme court of Wisconsin has just handed down a decision on the [1aw providing for a direct primary ex pression of choice for United States senator which is of interest in itself, and of additional interest as having a possible bearing on the so-called Ore gon plan of choosing United States |senators. The Wisconsin primary law . in this respect is substantially the| same as was the Nebraska law prior to | the adaptation of the so-called Oregon plan by our late democratic legisla- ture. It provides for the filing of names and nomination of candidates for United States senator by the re spective parties the same as for can- didates for state offices, the presump. tion being that the members of the |legislature will recognize the party | ediet thus registered so that the popu | 1ar choice may be ratified by the ma- | jority party. ‘The Wisconsin court has now up held that the law with the declaration that this means of ascertaining the de sires of the members of the respective political parti is not objectionable, but that it has {ts limitations and can bring about nothing more than an ad- visory expression of preference. The primary election, so far as it relates to United States senators, it insists, is not mandatory, and for that reason does not contravene the provisions of the federal or state constitutiom, If this is so, of course the obligation rest- ing on the members of the legislature is only moral and enforcible im the |vers to question | amount was $161,973 | pensioned, (be pald from one agency with eatis- | been appointed and which could ;at this session. | resting thelr case on its merits | plished and the bill at least brought THE BE ourt of public opinion, but not in a cau-|court of law.

Discussion of the Keifer pension bill now before congress has brought out| some interesting disclosures as o the | amount of money Uncle Sam annually | pays out to the nation's defenders and | their dependents. 1In 1909 the total 03. The total | was 946,194, ,678 pensioners and | total in pensions of lowa had 33,668 persons drawing in the aggregate | $5,763,679, while Kansas had 37,387, who drew $6,92 , and South Da- | kota 5,333, whose pension amounted to $946,188. The average monthly | pension in all these states, except Kan sas, was about $14; in Kansas it was a little more than $15. This uniform- ity In individual stipend s one of the evidences of the wonderful system which the government, after these years, has reduced its pensioning busi ness The pending bill for the pension roll for 1911 carries an appropriation of $155,000,000. This would be about $6,000,000 less than the aggregate for | 1909 and about $5,000,000 less than 1910. But it is not possible to effect any great retrenchment in the item of pensions; they must be met and will be met as they arise, for there never has been any disposition on the part of this government to evade its full obligation to its soldiers and those de- pendent upon them. So that the Ohio representative has not sought to cut that appropriation except in the natu- ral estimate of the number of pension- ers. He has lopped off $179,600 from the estimated cost of paying these pen sions. The principal saving comes in his provision for ane central pension agency, instead of eighteen, as at present. While this is a radical ‘nno- vation, Mr. Keifer inststs that it is practicable, that all the pensions can number of pensioners Nebragka had 15 they drew a $2,660,461; to factory results. Another proposed change is to au- thorize rural mall carriers to admin ister oaths to pensioners. This pro- vision {8 designed to relieve the vet- eran living in the suburbs or on the farm from the necessity of making a trip to town for the stmple matter of subscribing to his pension papers each quarter. While this seems to be a trifling matter, it will not be a trifling favor to each old soldier who may be permitted to enjoy its benefits. This proposal does not affect the oath-ad- ministering power of those who now have fit. Since the foundation of this republic the United States has paid in pensions for all its wars $3,913,082,513 The‘ number of pensiongrs in the last decade has changed from year to year | very little. In 1900 it was 99.’(.529[ and in 1909 it was 946,194, which is Those persons who take the view that pensions is a burdem upon a nation should be ardent advocates of arbitra- tion as a means of settling wars. Other Christian nations, aside from the United States, have paid the same fabulous tribute as a consequence of war. No Ship Subsidy Now, It may be definitely stated that no| ship subsidy bill will be passed by the present congress. In fact, there is a| growing conviction in Washington | that ship subsidy may be indefinitely | postponed beyond the present admin- | Istration, the assumption being based | on the entrenched position its enemies have secured and the probablility of additional opposition in the member- ship of the next house. In a very large degree the radical champions of ship subsidy have them selves to blame for their own back- set. The thing that blocks their prog- ress now Is the congressional investl gation, for which a committee has not possibly be completed in time to have the Humphrey bill considered further Nor is it certain that the investigation will be completed by the next session. As that will be the! short end of congress, it is highly probable that only a futile attempt could be made to force action then, Radical ship subsidy Interests made the fatal error of overdoing their campaign They instigated l)ernonal; attacks on government officials whom they could not persuade and sent out literature containing statements that could not help but arouse members of | congress and tend to prejudice them against the very name ship subsidy Conservative ship interests did lheh‘l best to counteract this folly, but falled. They urged the wisdom of and seeking by respectful arguments to win congress over, but the damage to their cause was already done. It is highly probable that with the welght of the administration’s influ- ence back of a moderate ship subsidy something might have been accom | | | to a vote.

May 11 will be a great day in Washington for the Polish Americans as it will witness the unvelllng of statues of Kosclusko and Pulaskl. The former will be on Lafayette square and the latter on Pennsylvania ave nue, near the National theater.

There is a monument to Kosclusko at West Point whose original fortifications he traced out or improved what time he was the most distinguished engineer in the service. The shaft has a peculiar Interest In that it Is the expression of the esteem In which Kosclusko was held by the cadets of eighty years ago, who ralsed the funds that pald for it.
