was appalled at tbe manner iu which it was spending money and In a speech in the House declared: "Io a few monthH 1 tiliall be called upon in the discharge of my official duties to review the record that this Demo¬ cratic House shall have made in the authorization of the expenditure of the public moneys. Whenever I thinlt of ;he horrible mess that 1 whall be called upon to present to the country on behalf of the Democratic party I am tempted to 'luit my place." Try¬ ing to stop extravagance on the part of the Democraiic national adminis¬ tration appears to have made Mr. f'itzgerald unpopular with his party.
The Court of Appeals while decld ing the legislative apportionment of ill 16 unconstitutional so far as it ap¬ plies to the laying out of Hcnate dis¬ tricts in New York county iinani- mouely upholds the division of the State into :,\ senate districts. While the bill was under consideration in the Legislature the Democrats con¬ tended that there should be but .'jO senators.
The anxiety ot Michal Schaap for the continuance of the Progressive party recalls to mind Mr. Schaap's activity in the Legislature ot 1914 when he was the Progreasive leader in the Assembly and when he held the Progressive Assemblymen to a straight-out alliance with the Tam¬ many minority. In February of that year every Tammany vote in the Sen¬ ate and Assembly was cast for the Progressive candidate for State treas¬ urer to succeed John J. Kennedy, Democrat, who died in office. When the Republican majority adopted new rules lo give greater publicity to leg¬ islative work, it was Leader Schaap who swung the support of the Pro¬ gressives to Alfred E. Smith, the Tammany leader in opposing their adoption and when the Hinman bill to abolish the useless fire marshal's olllce was passed and Tammany was fighting tooth and nail to save the office for its Tammany incumbent. Leader Schaap again delivered the Progressive .A.sseniblymen to Tam¬ many. Mr. Schaap's activity and ability in llli I In converting the Pro¬ gressive delegation in the Assembly into a Tammany auxiliary did a great deal toward arousing conscientious Progressive voters throughout the State to the use that was being made of their party.
EXASPERATING FIDDLING.
The government of the United States, and the people as well, are rapidly losing their patience over the exasperating piddling of Venustlano Carranza, who styles hini.self the first chief of the Mexican de facto govern¬ ment.
This man Carranza reminds one of the Insignificant and bombastic fist that barks at a big dog and then backs away when there is a chance for a fight.
H^ ha.s insulted and defied the United States on innumerable occa¬ sions, and yet when we show a dis¬ position to resent hie insolence he bobs up with a suggestion of compro¬ mise or mediation.
In plain and unvarnislied lan¬ guage, we have had just about enough of Carranza and of Mexico, and it l.s about time for the big dog to sail in and give the piddling snap¬ per and his horde of ragamuffins and cutthroats a .sound drubbing.
Nothing else will be of the slight¬ est avail.
AN INOPPORTUNE INTERRUPTION.
"Do the American people want a bullying, dictatorial, revengeful policy toward Mexico?" asks a Demo¬ cratic paper and answers its (luestlon with an implication that such a policy would follow the inanguratlon of a Republican administration. What -H»«,iieiUJbllcanj)^ty-is pledged to Is not a "bullying, dictatorial, revenge¬ ful policy toward Mexico" but just the reverse. The Republican plat¬ form Is explicit in the Mexican situa¬ tion. After expressing deep sym¬ pathy with the Mexican people, it says: "We denounce the indefensible methods of Interference employed by this administration in the Internal af¬ fair of Mexico and refer with shame to its failure to discharge the duty ot this country as next friend to Mexico, its duty to other powers who have relied upon us as euch friend and Its duty to our citizens In Mexico, In per¬ mitting the continuance ot such con¬ ditions, first by failure to act prompt¬ ly and firmly, and second, by lending Its Influence to the continuation of Buch conditions through recognition of one of the factions responsible for these outrages. We pledge our aid In restoring order and maintaining peace in Mexico. We promise to our citizens on and near our border, and to those in Mexico, wherever they may be found adequate and absolute protection In their lives, liberty and property."
• The American people under a Re¬ publican administration will not have a bullying, dictatorial policy toward Mexico, neither will they have a med- dleaome. wabbly policy such as the Wilson administration has been pur¬ suing.

COL, WATTERSON'S TRIBUTE.
Under the caption "A Son of the Soil" Col. Henry Watterson said of his lifelong friend James Whitcomb Riley in last Tuesday's Courier-Jour¬ nal:
"To those who ever personally met .lames Whitcomb Riley—and they were many, for he lived in the open lo the hand and sight of all men— and yet more to the fewer who knew and loved liini he was singularly frcT frcm the self-consciousness which s.oniitime.H distinguishes— we need not say disfigures—the professional man of letters.
"Though scarcely as handsome as Hums he was no mean figure of a man—rather under than over the Kentucky standard in height, but compactly built upon well knit, graceful lines; repose of bearing the uter, sturdlness of character the In¬ ner, feature visible to the eye of the critical stranger.
"In his relations he affected noth¬ ing. The most provincial of poets, he appeared the most cosmopolite ot men. He was truly a great presence before an audience. He possessed the hypnotic iiuality of the born actor. Had he g(jne on the professional stage he would have achieved the triumphs of a Jefferson, the serio-comic gift and artistic artlessness of that first of American comedians being almost in oiiual measure his; his drolleries spontaneous in ih(!ir expression, in look, in tone, commanding laughter and tears.
"If he had any envy, or malice, or love of money they never showed themselves; but he was a man ot wordly knowledge and positive opin¬ ions, who might not be lightly gain¬ said and could never be easily over¬ reached. He goes lo his account leaving behind him the memory of a useful as well as a radiant life, a fruitful no less than an llluatrious career, with something over for hia forebears, along with the immortal heritage of poetry whicli he be- (lueath to the people and State. Rebuke to Spirit of Detraction. "The honors that did not wait tor his old age to meet and greet him on every hand—which gather sorrow¬ fully about his bier—pay tribute alike to Indiana and to him. They show in vivid outlines an apprecia¬ tive, aspiring race ot men and wom¬ en, as well as a conspicuous and rep¬ resentative son of the soil, and offer at once rebuttal and rebuke to a cer¬ tain spirit of detraction which would sneer the literary Hoosiers out of court. Characteristically this hafi shown Itself in the East—though In¬ diana can hardly be located in the West—its inspiration the harder to explain since most ot the really suc¬ cessful men ot, let us say, the city of New York, have migrated there across the Alleghenles.
"In the long run It matters little. Genius without geography, Alfred De Musset, the elegant of Paris, was no greater poet than Frederick Mistral, the rustic of Provence. Shelley, we are told. Is the poet of the poets—a great poet, too—but there are poets and poets, that make good the lack ot schools with nature's fire, that, however homely, touch the heart; and when one ot these, like Burns in Scotland or Beranger In France, has put the soul of his country Into song what more can man or poet hope for or achieve?
Riley was of these. He might say with Burns:
"I am nae poet in a sense, "But just a rhymer, like, by chance. And hae nae learning, nae pretence." Justified Indiana's Pride. "But that during a period of slash¬ ing, smashing preoccupation, poetry, no longer a medium ot popular com¬ munication, even ot literary exchange —an age of material progress hys¬ teric development—he could stand In the marketplace and touch his lyre, that even the rushing crowd would stop to listen, is to (justify Indiana's pride and praise and grief to enforce the suggestion ot her Governor that one who so typified the glory of the State shall have a tomb beneath the dome of Its Capltol.
It Is known to those wbo had the happiness to enjoy hia Intimate com¬ panionship that on the physical side
