Foclker, Law. Youujr and Colder, and in the Manhattan districts now represented by Messrs. I'arMiis. Iteanct ami Ok-ott. It hi a rharactatfetie Democratic way of showing concern for the quality of toe city's delegation in Congress to go into the Republican and try to replace of high standing In the with Democrats ln.no way (heir in qualifications, while no attention to the character of tbe statesmen who are to Washington from the city's safe Demoerotic districts.

Any Impartial observer testify to the fact that the members of the delegation who bare exerted the widest Influence at Washington and done iv there for the city's Interests are the Republicans whom "The World" wants to see defeated. On the other hand, nobody will seriously question the tad that Mr. Murphy's policy of mound nominations to Congress as mere political rewards has had the resuit overloading the city's delegation in the House with nobodies who merely draw their salaries and straggle against a chronic condition of homesickness. They do no work for Ihe city make its influence on legislation more inconsiderable, than tbnt of like Chicago or Philadelphia, with much smaller In numbers. Instead of trying (6 defeat liepresentatives of the better type, in the hope of levelling up the average Of ability in the delegation, why doesn't "The World" begin at the other end and strive to improve the quality of the Representatives elected in the districts attached to its own household': Is it satisfied with statesmen of the calibre of Messrs.

Itlordan. Fornes. Goldfogle, Conroy and Harrison, whom Mr. Murphy sends to Washington with no thought of employ ing, them for serious public uses?" If the influence of this city iv the House of Representatives is to be enhanced, the best way to enhance it is to begin. by eliminating the weakest Instead of the strongest members of the present delegation.

win; HAS it "The Evening Post" says that the purification of the Democratic party, like the purification of the Republican party, has only just begun. But the public would like some evidence that the purification of the Democratic party has made a beginning. To be sure, there was the Saratoga league. But then that proved to be nothing but a contrivance of Murphy -i get. rid of Connors after, Conners had developed au ambition to become United States Senator.

Purification by a body which found no fault with Murphy's rule of the party which, in fact, aided in making the domination of the Tammany boss complete arouses misgivings instead of confidence on the part of the public. When the Saratoga League had finished its work the correspondents of the New York Democratic papers woiv able to say that control of the Democratic State Convention was absolute that he held the delegates "in the hollow of his hand." And a widespread i belief exists that to accomplish this end i was the purpose of the Saratoga League. Where shall we look for evidence that I the purification of the Democratic party has begun? Something has happened to the Republican "old guard." The Democratic "old guard' still flourishes. There is Useful Tool who presided at I the thug convention in Carnegie Hall, running for Attorney General. Is he an evidence of the purification that has hegun? There is Sohmer, the racetrack Senator, promoted for his service to the gamblers to be bis party's candidate for State Controller.

Is he a proof that the moral awakening has set in? There is Grady friend Kennedy, a Buffalo alderman with a bad record, nominated for State Treasurer. Does be prove that reform is at work In the Democratic party? There are the renominated racetrack Senators. Are they an evidence that purification has begun? There are the five Senators who voted to keep Allds In the State Senate. 'The Post" hasn't much to say about them. Do they prove thai the Democratic party Las become aware of its Bios a is bent upon re- Iform? Grady, Cullen, Frawley and the two Sullivans.

sure to lead the Senate and to occupy all the Important chairmanship do they prove thai the purification Is at work? And there i- Dix, whose league made Grady its spokesman In the Senate and who is tacitly I approving Grady's candidacy and Fraw! ley's. Cullen's and the Sullivaus' candidacies. Is his moral Indifference to his associates on the ticket proof that the conscience of his party is awake? Where. in fact, Is the evidence that thepurification has begun? The Democratic bosses are the game old bosses, but the party is more supine regarding them. The Democratic ticket is precisely like all recent Democratic tickets." except that its Lead bears a closer relation to Murphy than any other Democratic candidate for Governor has ever borne.

Where has i the purification JUDGE BALDWINS DISCOMFITURE. Judge Baldwin, in bis second reply to Mr. Roosevelt, ostentatiously professes to bring back the discussion to the vital at issue, and to meet the ex-Pres; Ident's statement. When it is examined, however, it is found to do nothing of the kind. It states the point but does not it.

Judge Baldwin says: The passage from your address to which I referred (quoting from the paper report) was one in which, after referring to me as a former Judge, you stated that I was 'a man who took "the view that it was competent for the "workman, when driven to accept any "employment, to bind himself not to be "compensated if he lost his life or limb "in that occupation." This statement of Judge Baldwin's view as applied in the case of Hoxie agt. the New York. New Haven Hartford Railroad is declared by the judge to be erroneous. He affirms that be does not bold that view, and never has held it. Then, while saying that lie does not object to the characterization of a "retrogressive judge." but only to Mr.

Roosevelt's statement as to his position concerning contracts- waiving damage claims, be goes on at great length to say that Ms declaration in the Hoxie opinion as to the common law rule respecting fellow servants was Bound and necessary in the absence of legislation in Connecticut modifying that rule. He entirely ignores the feature of his own opinion declaring the federal employers' liability act unconstitutional because it forbade contracts waiving claim to damages. In that opinion Judge Baldwin said: The provision of Section 5 that any contract between an interstate carrier and any of its employes in such business-, intended to enable it to exempt Itself from any liability created by the act "shall to that extent be void." is. In our opinion, in violation of the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution of the United Rtates. as tending to deprive the parties to such a contract of their liberty and property without due proees3 of law.

The contract may be one made I on a full consideration by an employe, or one seeking to become such, who is fully capable of understanding its meaning and effect. He may be the general of a great railroad system, the damages resulting from the loss of whose life might justly be estimated at a vast Bum. His salary may have been agreed on in view of this provision of exemption. To evade that and yet let the other pro- si.m of the contract stand would of necessity work rank Injustice. It would virtually deprive the carrier of its property, and -under the construction of that phrase adopted by the courts of the United do so without due of law.

The statute cannot be regarded In this respect as one made for the protection of an Ignorant and Imprudent class, such as the acts regarding shipping articles. the employee of a railroad company are In general of more than ordinary Intelligence. Tin dangerous nature of the business requires and- secures this. It cannot be regarded as one made for the protection of train hands, for it covers every kind of employes, it denies them, one and all, tint liberty of tract which the Constitution of the United States secures to every person within their jurisdiction. This declaration absolutely justifies Mr.

Roosevelt's statement. Everybody knows that to the average especially an unskilled a great corporation freedom of contract to waive an employer's liability is more mockery. He has no freedom. ii. must take the terms offered or go without the NEW- YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, -'WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1910.

work on which he and his family depend. In setting up his railroad' in unager, who is able to make his own terms, as si man of straw to show how free such contracts may conceivably be. and on the strength of it deciding that the United States cannot forbid a railroad to exempt itself by contract from the liability created by the federal statute, Judge Baldwin to all practical purposes declares that it is "competent for the workman. "wbeu driven to accept any employment, "to bind himself not to be compensated "if he lose life or limb in that occupation." It is also notable that Judge Baldwins is a personal and extra-judicial expression, just like Judge Tuney's in the Dred SootJ: case: for, liiivinj? decided that the Connecticut courts had no jurisdiction, the statement 'that the federal law was unconstitutional was pure dictum, effective only, like the declaration in favor of slavery, to discredit efforts for industrial freedom. The present pitch of- Rooseveltopholiia is such that if Mr.

Roosevelt chauced to remark that Benedict Arnold was au undesirable citizen, Mr. advocates would hail it as another example of his habit of reckless slander. Therefore we do not expect these enemies of Republicanism will do anything but declare that Judge Baldwin has been recklessly slandered. But it ought to be clear to all fair-minded men that Mr. Roosevelt's attitude and the attitude of the Republican party in state and nation, as shown in legislation, is in the direction of proper relief to tlie great mass of wage earners from the oppression of outworn legal doctrines.

Judge Baldwin has done his best to prevent the graatufX of such relief, his attitude is typical of those who see in every challenge of old abuses a new menace from a "public enemy." "HOW COULD HEr Mr. dodging and ducking of vital issues of the campaign is embarrassing lis supporters. "The Evening Post." ashamed of supporting a party whose leader in the state Senate will be Grady, exclaims: "How could such a man (as Dix) or Grady?" And the only proof it can offer that he would not favor Grady is the fact that his Saratoga League last, winter chose Grady as its spokesman in the Legislature! "How COOld such a man" do this? We don't know. In fact, the state knows very little about Mr. Dix.

Even his supporters apparently know very little about him, for "The Evening Post" cannot lay Its lingers on a scrap of tangible or intangible evidence that Mr. Dix will not favor Grady's leadership and is forced to exclaim "How could A more contemptible campaign for office could hardly be made than this mask for Murphy is making. As "The World" said truthfully of Mr. Cbanler, a candidate cannot make a creditable or honorable campaign by dodging and ducking. Mr.

Dix has not made a creditable or honorable campaign. He wishes to slip into office with his purposes concealed. An honest man and one unafraid would speak out and make his intentions known sad not reduce his supporters to the futile ejaculation of could he!" He would not wish to hold office unless his policies were approved. But Mr. Dix Is afraid to tell where he stands with respect to Grady.

He is afraid to declare himself regarding the resumption Of gambling. He is afraid answer the legitimate questions that have been put him concerning state issues. About this mystery the little that Is known Is unfavorable. He has been Murphy's state chairman and is Murphy's candidate. His political organization's legislative spokesman was Grady.

II" stands without protest on ii ticket with disgraceful associates. He is a sham on the tariff issue. And the two speeches he has made disclose a mind barren of ideas and without even rudimentary conceptions of state government. TUX Ml SEYM DIRBCTORSHtP. Satisfaction must everywhere be fell in the appointment of Mr.

Edward Robinson the directorship of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. it is emphatically a case of the right man in the right place. His high abilities were known long ago to observers pf his work at the Boston Museum and they have left a deeper Impression since came to the Metropolitan as assistant director. As the acting bead of the museum for the last year he has conclusively demonstrated that the ideal thing to do was to make his administration permanent. Trained n.s an archaeologist, he Ihis won bis repute largely through the scholarship and taste marking his dealings with classical art.

but he has never been betrayed Into the pedantry of the onesided specialist It i- his breadth of mind, above all tbinjrs. that pives solid significance to his entrance into a larger sphere of usefulness. The character desirable in the director of an art museum is a favorite subject of critical speculation, and the trend toward a more or less "scientific" study of his problems has developed in many quarters the view thai the perfectly balanced official may be gradually moulded into shape by judicious discipline. Tbere i- much that is plausible in ibis hypothesis, but the inexorable fact remains that the best directors are born not made. Any dullard may master routine, but it takes a personality to raise the administration of a museum to the plane of an artistic profession.

Such a man may make his occasional mistakes, as witness Dr. Bode and bis ineffable wax bust but thnt only proves that he is a human and not an automaton. The Berlin directors obstinacy in error must deplored, but no one having the smallest appreciation of what modern connoisseurghip means tan fail to yield a meed of admiration and gratitude to him for the weighty Bervioes he has rendered to lovers ami student- of art Mr. Robinson, like Bode, has the COlirage of his opinions, bin in his work at the museum he has never disclosed any hf toward the dogma of papal Infallibility, and we fancy that bis tern nerament Of the scholar will always save him from such a lapse as thai to which allusion has juM been made. It will him.

too. in carrying on that admirably dispassionate policy which he has already Mnade familiar, giving due consideratlon to each the many departments in the museum, never slighting or exalt a single 0M of them. Purchases recently made have Shown that American art is fis hospitably received at the museni'i as any other. We have had exhibitions there of 111" works of Saint(iaiubns and Whistler, and at this m.i-in 'lit. another is in preparation looking to the Illustration of the art of Wlnstow Hotner.

In these enterprises Mr. (sympathy hns been an important factor and it is to be reckoned with In future. But in judging that future from. his record hi tlie past "we may feel sure thait his administration will be termined not by sentimental views or im rompioisance townrd a patriotism but by the true catholicity of a mind open to all that la really jiood. Tlie is for the old and Modern masters of painting ami sculpture in all school's; -it Is for the Craftsmen of all tinea and places.

With extraordinary rapidity the mass of its treasures is being so increased ami strengthened that it will not bo long before the Metropolitan is the equal of any European museum save as regards those outstanding masterpieces of certain schools which can never be found again in the market. It is good to knowthat at this important stage in its history the museum directorship Is so well filled. THE AVIATJOX MEKTISO. Several questions have left unanswered bjr the Behnont Park tournament. While 1t was in jirosn'ess aviators in Europe were killed.

On Long Island most of the accidents were trivial. Many machines were damaged, but the men who used them escaped with a few Whether this immunity should be attributed to skill, caution or pure luck is a point alnmt which there must be some difference of opinion. It is also impossible to say which of the participating aeroplanes was the fastest. Grahame- "White, winner of the international cup for speed, travelled at the. average rate of sixty-one miles an hour.

That in the same race developed a speed of sixty-seven miles for several laps is shown by the official record, but he was unable to finish. Hamilton's new machine, from which great things were expected, had no chance to show what it could do. its designer and pilot being disqualified at the last moment by his The Wrights also built a special aeroplane for this contest, but Brooking wrecked it Just before the race began. At the time, according to Orrille Wright, it was flying live miles faster than Leblane's machine when the Frenchman was doing his best, but as there is no official verification of his estimate the matter must remain in doubt. Such uncertainty is unfortunate, but it seems to be unavoidable.

No attempt having been made to win the Michelin cup. offered for endurance and open to all flyers until the close of rhe year, it Is unlikely that the prize will be captured by an American. Just now ii looks as if Tabuteau. a Frenchman, who covered 288 miles without landing one day laM week, might, win. So fat.is the Belmont Park contests throw any light on the it is yet impossible to Judge the relative merits of biplane and Both types of machine did well, but neither seems to have shown the slightest superiority.

Perhaps the most important of the new records made within the last few days is that of for altitude. From the point of view of the lover of sport the ability to ascend 0.714 feet. pearly two miles, may not count for much. To military men it may have greater significance. If battles are to be fought in the air, the machine which can go the highest will possess certain p.

vantages, and it is gratifying to note that the one with which the latest was achieved is of -American design. If Dix dodges foe a weejk longer he will hold the record as the champion Jons: distance political dodger of the country. But when the public sees Chairman Prentice goiner to Albany to beg Barnes for aid- the same Barnes whoCe defeat' at Saratoga is heralded as a great moral and Mr. Roosevelt actually spending the ni.eht under Boss Francis Hendricks's roof, it is not to be Wanted if it questions the sincerity of such purifying as has been The Evening Post. Which is worse, spending a night "under Boss Francis Hendricks's roof" or spending- an afternoon in Boss Charles Francis Murphy's room 212? Was every one, every single person, who visited room 212 as insincere as Colonel Roosevelt is?

An investigation of the effects of this supposed pauper, an Albanian called Sterlo, revealed the. fact that he owned over $250,000 in investments and bank deposits.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. HENRY GEORGEISM REIMSURGENT. To the Editor of The Tribune. Sir: The present city budget exhibit, now open. is most interesting and instructive, and one thing, among others, it proves conclusively that we have in our city hunored? of thousands of people who are most economically living here, for they are incapable of producing enough to maintain themselves well in the city, and the process of Americanizing them, especially in the.

congestion land values of Manhattan and sections of The Bronx and Brooklyn, Is reflected in the increasing cost of the departments of Health. Charities nd Education! In fact, this remarkatle exhibit clearly shows the cost to the city of our abnormal conditions of living and working. Is not much injustice done to our citizens by the failure to secure to them any part of the enormous increases in land values created largely by- them? For my part, I believe New York can afford all the schools and hospitals and parks it needs, as well as all necessary municipal service, when it secures the revenues it should get from a better system of taxation and expends them wisely. If consider the one question of a proper assessment of part of the cost of subways upon property benefited, we have plenty of food for thought Take the territOrj north of 1:5.1 th street and the cost of the subway one expert says the people there could have paid out of their profits on increased land values the whole cost of; that part of the subway which runs through that part of city, and yet have Cleared for the lucky land owners over 125,000. This question of the taxation of land values and an unearned Increment, amountlag In this city to several hundred millions of dollars, is vital in foreijjn countries sis well jis re.

Too many fortunes are now being made here in greater New York out of Conditions which are actu.tlly killinff the users of the land. Here have i problem of congestion of population to solve more serious than any other city in the world, and surely those who profit by 'his unwholesome overcrowding. the who arc exploiters of land values, ought to be made to pay more than they do of the cost to our people of the and expenses of the bad social conditions resulting from same overcrowding. We now have on able Comm on Congestion of Population, nnd carefully weigh this whole I give us a just report. ri'MFKLLY.

Of 1 agree with him thai In our cilles, i here competition Is so where then are more men than there are jobs to here Is very little opportunity.

But lei the young men look a little beyond the crowded cities and get bold of a bit of the thousands upon thousands of acres of uncultivated land, and they will find the ankvt'n to the question "What future is there for our coming generation?" There Is a big field in cultivating a small i leoe of land near a larije city, or a good market, by following the new methods of Intensive gardening. of course, success depends on using brains as well as ban Is, as Bolton Hall has shown in his books. Those who are Intelligent and farseelng enough Will avail themselves of this the Held Is new. Our young clerks will find a healthier, happier and more successful life by spending their efforts in working the soil than behind the counters. Let them begin to think this over to-day New York.
