MURPHY AND NEW YORK DEM
OCRATS Following is l special dispatch to
the Chicago Tribune from New York,
dated November 6:
"Some time next week there will
be a meeting here in this city of
anti-Murphy democrats to agree upon
a' plan for continuing tho fight
against Murphyism wherever it ex
ists," said Stuart G. Gibboney, one of
the prime movers in the Wilson dem
ocracy today.
Mr". Gibboney, in discussing the
plans as far as they ' have shaped
themselves, was hopeful that the
Wilson democrats could easily gain
control of the democratic state com
mittee. This would be a big step
forward, said Mr. Gibboney, in their
efforts to oust Mr. Murphy from ac
tive control of state politics. .
"Our first move in this, direction
will be to wrest from Mr. Murphy's
control the state committee," said
Mr. Gibboney. "That will not be
difficult, as we elected fifty-one state
committeemen in the recent prima
ries. We need only twenty-five more
to control, as seventy-six is a ma
jority. Of these twenty-five we can
get fifteen in one block, so you see
obtaining of the other ten will be
comparatively easy."
MR. BRYAN HAS BUILT WISELY
Tho siezure of the American ship,
John D. Rockefeller, bound for a
neutral port with a cargo of illumin
ating oil, gives a glimpse of the pres
ent value of the peace treaty nego
tiated by Mr. Bryan.
There was no public excitement
about this seizure. Our government
protested and the British government
ordered the release of the ship. But
it is just sucn moments umi uit
cause great and sometimes dangerous
public excitement.
How dangerous how likely to fire
the war spirit is interference with the
rights asserted by neutrals on the
sea is copiously illustrated in our
own history. One such incident came,
perilously near bringing Great Brit
ain to the South'fl aid.
The peace treaty makes a tempor
ary wave of public: feeling compar
atively harmless. It gives assurance
that there will be plenty of time to
investigate and settle the question on
its merits. It enforces a sober con
sideration of the case.
There is solid satisfaction in this
fact It Is more than probable that
there will be other incidents during
the war. Controversies relating to

neutral commerce are bound to arise.
Thero in no way to provido againBt
them wholly.
But whatever controversies do
arise, there is no reason to doubt
that a way will bo found to settlo
them to the interest and honor of all
parties. When nations want to settle
things they can always find a way to
do it.
And if there should unfortunately
bo a dangerous wave of popular feel
ing as a result of one of theso inci
dents it won't be able to convert a
casual incident into a large war
at least, not for a long, long while.

NAILING A TARIFF LIE
New York Mall: We owe England
over $200,000,000 on balance. A
year ago today England's balance
against us was trifling. She had not
been selling us as much under the old
tariff as we had been selling to her.
When the Wilson tariff became effec
tive, tho situation changed. England
promptly began selling us her man
ufactures in increasing volume. Her
exports to this country were boom
ing along at a startling figure when
war broke out and stopped Jt all. ,
New York Worll: Wo are not ow
ing England $200,000,000 on trade
balance or oven ?1. In tho seven
months to August 1, when tho war
broke out, wo exported more mer
chandise to England than in the same
time last year under the republican
high tariff, and wo Imported more,
but tho exports were still $121,800,
000 larger than tho imports. Eng
land's exports tu this country were
not "booming along at a startling
figure when war broke out," but In
July under tho low tariff were actual
ly less than in July of 1913 under,
tho high tariff, while our exports
wero $3,000,000 greater.
With theso slight exceptions Tho
Mall's statement Is substantially correct.
