Prwil dent Taft baa not invariably remembered, or taken care, to enlighten the public si to his in- tentions, but ban left n course of action to b«* JUDICIAL NOMINATIONS. To the remarkable character of the general demand which has just resulted In Justice Mar- tin J. Keogh's renomlnatlon to tin* Supreme Court In the Oth Judicial District The" Trib- une has already called at lent ion. We have often had. non-partisan, nominations to the bench; but they have usually been made, with undisguised reluctance by parly managers as a result of the demands of the press and urgency of the bar, being examples of the acquiescence of the mi- nority party in the continuance on the bench, of judges of the majority party. Justice Keogh is .a Democrat In ii district thai is overwhelmingly Republican; yet no thought of Dominating any candidate In opposition, to him has been >\u25a0*\u25a0- riously entertained. No campaign In tbe press in his behalf has been necessary and no reluc- tant politicians have been risible at any stage of the proceedings. It Deems to have been uni- versally recognized from the tlrst that the tit- ting thing to do was to continue him on the bench, and now be lias both Republican and Democratic nominations. The Tribune applauds the result and the way it was accomplished. Doubtless personal reaWns account in part for the unanimity— of the sentiment for Justice K<-ogh, but nevertheless it Boeuis reasonable to believe that his renomlnatlon ami the dream- stance*) surrounding it indicate progress for the rocugnitlou of the principle of the continuance of good judges iii office Irrespective of politics! To the spread of this Idea The Tribune ban contributed to the beat of its ability, and we ho|M» the day will come when it will be no longer necessary to speak of such a nomination as that of Justice Keogh as "unique." In connection with this ii is a pleasure to note the renomlnatlou by botb parties in the Nth Judicial District of Justices Alfred Spring sod •Frank C. Laugblin. It has been generally praised by tbe newspapers of both parties in Buffalo, which is the chief city "i tli>» Sth District Justice I.auglilln Is well known to New Yorkers, for he sits, by assignment of the t!ov- •\u25a0riH-r. in the Appellate Division In this judicial district. Now. the significant consideration at the present time is that the Increase of national taxation which is proposed in Mr. Lloyd- George's radical finance bill would be derived very largely from the sources from which the local revenues are derived, and would thus seriously increase the burdens of a part of the population. And itis one of the strong recom- mendations of Mr. Chamberlain's scheme of tariff reform that it would greatly Increase the national revenue by drawing from sources which are at present untouched, and would make DO further demands upon the sources of the pres- ent national and local revenue-;. This is a con- sideration which is likely to have much weight with the taxpaying electorate when an appeal to the country is made, a few months hence. eont. At the present time the actual stun of local revenue and expenditure, which twenty years ago was less than 75 per cent of that of "the nation, is now nearly 6 per cent larger thnn the latter, amounting to more than $SL\"»,000,00O a year. The actual budget, locnl as well as na- tional, is therefore more than ?l.GOf>,ooo,oo<> a year for the British taxpayer to provide. Tli** local Indebtedness is not yet quite so great as tbe tiationnf, but it Is rapidly approximating and will probably soon surpass It The national debt, apart from current appropriations, Is* about $3,545,000,000. and the aggregate of municipal debts Is about 12325.000.00Q, mak-> inp a grand total of $G,370,000.000. It may bo added that while since 1875 the national debt has actually decreased by 9 per cent the ag- gregate of local Indebtedness has increased by more than 50«; per cent. Mrs. Henry W.

The question of the relationship of national to local finance, which has just been considered iv various aspects by a national conference in this country. Is much to the. fore in other lauds, per- haps Most of all in Great Britain, in debates on the budget, the tariff, the income tax and what not attention Is generally paid only to tbe national systems of revenue and expendi- ture. And. indeed, the rapid and enormous in- rtwMS of thaws hi recent years is fitted to fix attention and arouse concern. Tliat UKtwase has been more than 53 per cent In thirteen years a ratio fur exceeding^ of course, the growth of population, of commerce or of wealth, while the burden of income tax hat Increased more than 7.*. per cent hi ten yean.

We cannot agree with "The Evening Post" that President Taft's commendation of Mr. Ban- nard as a mayoralty candidate la "unfortunate." If the President bad expressed approval of Mr. Bannard's nomination on the ground that it was likely to strengthen the Uenubllcun party bore or to contribute to Republican success in the state or in the nation, there might •" some excuse for regretting an apparent Intrusion of partisan considerations into a problem of non- partisan union for civic betterment. But Mr. Taft distinctly disavowed « partisan interest In the local campaign, expressing merely i.is per- sonal satisfaction that a man with whose high character and eminent fitness for public ser- vice he had long been familiar bad been so- lectMl to lend \u25a0 movement for th. termination of Tammany misrule. Tlie President is Ihe last man to be suspected of partisan narrowness In dealing with munic- ipal affairs. It should be remembered thai only ;i few rear* «go. when be was Invited to pre- -;<\u25a0• over, a Republican State Convention In Ohio be took occasion to criticise a" Itepublican city administration in Cincinnati, and thus con- tributed to the defeat of an object ionable Be- jtubllcan ticket in that Hty. Mr. Taft risked the enmity of **Boa»" ('ox. iii.-ii a power in Ohio politics, hi-. -a i ><• ho believed In efficient local government without regard to party labels. A I-- rnrjragonus man would have suppressed an opinion which threatened to arouse—and did arouse -antagonisms la gig own stato. But Mr. Taft put '-.iiri-'r above expediency. As on* who has shown his sympathy under trying circum- stances with non-partisan movements for < lean city government, the President is clearly en- titled to commend the. movement now tinder way here. His telegram is made doubly appro- priate a*id acceptable by reason of the general knowledge that Mr. Bannard Is one of his oldest and best friends. REAL \o\ partis REQUISITE. | ObSßSSsSslßtsSr John P. Mitehel's letter to Mr. Parsons conditionally accepting the Republican nomination for President of the Board of Alder- men should serve to strengthen the hands of the Committee of One Hundred in the formation of ihe rest of the ticket. Mr. Mitchel Insists that if he is to Stay on the ticket it shall be a "<iti- "zens* ticker, sincerely conceived In the spirit of "non-partisanship, and chosen with a view to "securing the best possible government for New "York." It Is just such a ticket that the situa- tion calls for. So far as it has been named It bean a strong impress of a citizens' or non-par- tisan movement, and it should be completed in the same spirit. The Committee of One Hun- dred should adhere firmly to its position that Independent Democrats, be named for some of the borough and county offices, not merely be- cause Mr. Mitchel insists upon the ticket's bearing, the unmistakable impress of non-parti- sanship, but becaoac the independent voters Sympathize with Mr. Mitcbel in bis demand. * The tilling of these minor offices is compassed alH.ui wi)h the same dliEHenltles that confronted fusion on the general ticket. As we understand the case, ii is proving bard to find independent Democrats who are willing to take Dominations for thes* places. Fusion movements arc often criticised for their tendency to result in the nomination of Republicans for office. But as a matter of fact bricks cannot be made without straw. In tills instance the most conspicuous independent Democrat, Justice Gaynor, was mi willing to have himself regarded as an anti- Tammany man and so rendered himself una- vailable. Mr. De Forest, another prominent in- dependent Democrat, pleaded engagements of a neml-publie character of so pressing a nature as to make it impossible for him to allow bis name to be considered. Similarly, when it has come to nominating Democrats for tbe office of Bor- ch;l:. President in Manhattan and The Bronx the Independent Democrats have been hard to find. One Democrat after another has refused to take the nomination for Borough President of Man- hattan. The Bronx seems so poor in Indepen- dent Democrats that no one is in sight there. In Brooklyn the situation is different. Inde- pendent voting is co common across 'the bridge that there is an abundance of material. The names of several Independent Democrats of standing are available, but the Republican or- ganization is said to be blocking the way to Erring to the local ticket in that borough the re- quifiti»uon-parti«an character. In this respect the Republican organization of Kings stands alone, fur apparently there is no opposition among Re- publicans elsewhere to the Domination of Demo- rats, but, on the contrary, the heartiest co-oper- ; ation with the Committee of One Hundred. The : present position of the Republicans of Kings Is | selfish and shortsighted. If persisted in it will \u25a0 imperil the interests of the fusion movement :generally for the sake of a little questionable 1 local advantage. To give to. the fusion ticket [ the impress of sincerity there must be fusion ! all alons the line. It will not do to have non- ! partisan nominations in Manhattan, The Broni I and the other .boroughs and straight partisan ' nominations in Brooklyn. Such a surrender to : partisan selfishness would discredit the Com- mittee of One Hundred. and: the whole fusion movement. Moreover, if. -the question is looked »n from the narrow poiq^vof view of the l'.r<>«>k- lyn organization, its present attitude is abort- Flshted. Brooklyn has more independent voters than any other borough in the city. They will resent tbe stiffnecked partisan position of tin- \ Brooklyn organization, and Tammany is evi- dently going to make an appeal to them with Its ticket. We hope the Committee of One Hun- dred will be Indefatigable in its pursuit of in- dependent candidates In the other boroughs and will be adamant against the suggestion of a \u25a0\u25a0artisan ticket across tbe bridge. desirable for Xew York to extend Its assail part of the park northward so as to Include the lofty cliffs between IMermont and Nyack. which are the highest of the whole Palisades, and also the hills find cliffs between Nyack and Haver- j straw, Including the crowning peak of Hook I Mouiire hi which for some years men have been ' diligently disfiguring and wcking utterly to de- 1 form. Just beyond Tlavcrstraw lies Stony j rom;. which happily lias been secured for the i public, and then com«» the Incomparable High- \u25a0 land-, at once tb<* most beautiful and majestic | \u25a0ad historically the most precions part of the whole Hudson Valley. There, from Dunderberg 1o Storm King, both shores of the river should be secured as a park and forest reservation. Toward that we hope 'that this commemoration will give an irresistible impulse. POLait t.Mttihl ORSER\ ITIONB.

The apparatus required Includes n ohro- noineter, either « surveyor's theodolite or a navigators nextani arid in regions where the true horizon cannot be depended «'ii .i device known as an artificial horizon. According to "Nature." the theodolite Is likely to give better results than the pocket sextant. which baa sometimeii been used in emergencies. There is also said to be a difference in the. trnsrwortlil ness of artificial horizon... iniscoiistnifd in some quarters. The President** omission to take the public into bi> confidence afforded the original and almost Ibe pole basis for what h:i^ come to l" % termed "the Balling«r-Pin«rboi controTeniy.*' Secretary Irani- i.l. deeming quick action n.--«^ saiy to i>rot«-<'t certain water power sites, issued a blanket order wlthholdlnß front settlement it million and •» hiilf acres of public land Se.-- retary Ballinger, succeeding Mr. (iarfleld soon after the issue of tho first order, utilized the machinery at bis disposal to ascertain, no far as possible, the exact location of power sites on the withdrawn land. Having done this, he cancelled the blanket order and Issued another whereby, withdrawing only three hundred thou- sand acres, he actually withheld from settle- ment 50 per cent more slles than had been protected In the tirst instance. His action was the next logical step in the policy of his prede- cessor. There is. In fact, nothing to Indicate that Mr l iarfleld would not have pursued the same course bad he. remained In otßce. The Balliugur order was a dUUnct tnrther- aucc of the conservation policy, and yet it was permitted to become the basis of an attack on the Tail administration for alleged disloyalty to that policy. And why? Because President Tail was so busy with Omgrewi at the/time that be forgot to take the public into bis confidence and failiii to explain the occasion and purpose of the Hallinger order. Those who may pos- sibly be tempted to pronounce a snap Judgment ben -after should remember ibis Incident.

JUDICIAL NOMINATIONS.To the remarkable character of the general

demand which has just resulted In Justice Mar-tin J. Keogh's renomlnatlon to tin* Supreme

Court In the Oth Judicial District The" Trib-une has already called atlent ion. We have oftenhad.non-partisan, nominations to the bench; butthey have usually been made, with undisguised

reluctance by parly managers as a result of thedemands of the press and urgency of the bar,being examples of the acquiescence of the mi-nority party in the continuance on the bench, ofjudges of the majority party. Justice Keogh is

.a Democrat In iidistrict thai is overwhelminglyRepublican; yet no thought of Dominating any

candidate In opposition, to him has been >\u25a0*\u25a0-

riously entertained. No campaign In tbe pressin his behalf has been necessary and no reluc-tant politicians have been risible at any stage

of the proceedings. It Deems to have been uni-versally recognized from the tlrst that the tit-ting thing to do was to continue him on thebench, and now be lias both Republican andDemocratic nominations. The Tribune applaudsthe result and the way it was accomplished.

Doubtless personal reaWns account in partfor the unanimity— of the sentiment for JusticeK<-ogh, but nevertheless it Boeuis reasonable tobelieve that his renomlnatlon ami the dream-stance*) surrounding it indicate progress for therocugnitlou of the principle of the continuanceof good judges iii office Irrespective of politics!To the spread of this Idea The Tribune bancontributed to the beat of its ability, and we ho|M»

the day will come when it will be no longernecessary to speak of such a nomination as thatof Justice Keogh as "unique."Inconnection with this ii is a pleasure to note

the renomlnatlou by botb parties in the NthJudicial District of Justices Alfred Spring sod

•Frank C. Laugblin. It has been generallypraised by tbe newspapers of both parties inBuffalo, which is the chief city "i tli>» SthDistrict Justice I.auglillnIs well known to NewYorkers, for he sits, by assignment of the t!ov-•\u25a0riH-r. in the Appellate Division In this judicialdistrict.

Now. the significant consideration at thepresent time is that the Increase of nationaltaxation which is proposed in Mr. Lloyd-George's radical finance bill would be derivedvery largely from the sources from which thelocal revenues are derived, and would thusseriously increase the burdens of a part of thepopulation. And itis one of the strong recom-mendations of Mr. Chamberlain's scheme oftariff reform that it would greatly Increase thenational revenue by drawing from sources whichare at present untouched, and would make DO

further demands upon the sources of the pres-ent national and local revenue-;. This is a con-sideration which is likely to have much weight

with the taxpaying electorate when an appeal

to the country is made, a few months hence.

eont. At the present time the actual stun oflocal revenue and expenditure, which twenty

years ago was less than 75 per cent of that of"the nation, is now nearly 6 per cent larger thnnthe latter, amounting to more than $SL\"»,000,00Oa year. The actual budget, locnl as well as na-

tional, is therefore more than ?l.GOf>,ooo,oo<> a

year for the British taxpayer to provide. Tli**local Indebtedness is not yet quite so great as

tbe tiationnf, but it Is rapidly approximatingand will probably soon surpass It The nationaldebt, apart from current appropriations, Is*

about $3,545,000,000. and the aggregate of

municipal debts Is about 12325.000.00Q, mak->inp a grand total of $G,370,000.000. Itmay boadded that while since 1875 the national debthas actually decreased by 9 per cent the ag-gregate of local Indebtedness has increased by

more than 50«; per cent.

• BRITISH LOCAL FINANCE.The question of the relationship of national to

local finance, which has just been considered ivvarious aspects by a national conference in thiscountry. Is much to the. fore in other lauds, per-haps Most of all in Great Britain, in debateson the budget, the tariff, the income tax andwhat not attention Is generally paid only totbe national systems of revenue and expendi-ture. And. indeed, the rapid and enormous in-rtwMS of thaws hi recent years is fitted to fixattention and arouse concern. Tliat UKtwasehas been more than 53 per cent In thirteenyears

Ml( TAFTB TELEGRAM.We cannot agree with "The Evening Post"

that President Taft's commendation of Mr. Ban-nard as a mayoralty candidate la "unfortunate."If the President bad expressed approval of Mr.Bannard's nomination on the ground that itwas likely to strengthen the Uenubllcun partybore or to contribute to Republican success inthe state or in the nation, there might •" someexcuse for regretting an apparent Intrusion ofpartisan considerations into a problem of non-partisan union for civic betterment. But Mr.Taft distinctly disavowed « partisan interest Inthe local campaign, expressing merely i.is per-sonal satisfaction that a man with whose high

character and eminent fitness for public ser-vice he had long been familiar bad been so-lectMl to lend \u25a0 movement for th. terminationof Tammany misrule.

Tlie President is Ihe last man to be suspectedof partisan narrowness In dealing with munic-ipal affairs. It should be remembered thai only;i few rear* «go. when be was Invited to pre-

-;<\u25a0• over, a Republican State Convention InOhio be took occasion to criticise a" Itepublicancity administration in Cincinnati, and thus con-tributed to the defeat of an object ionable Be-jtubllcan ticket in that Hty. Mr. Taft risked theenmity of **Boa»" ('ox. iii.-ii a power in Ohiopolitics, hi-.-ai><• ho believed In efficient localgovernment without regard to party labels. AI--rnrjragonus man would have suppressed anopinion which threatened to arouse—and didarouse -antagonisms la gig own stato. But Mr.Taft put '-.iiri-'r above expediency. As on* whohas shown his sympathy under trying circum-stances with non-partisan movements for < leancity government, the President is clearly en-titled to commend the. movement now tinderway here. His telegram is made doubly appro-priate a*id acceptable by reason of the generalknowledge that Mr. Bannard Is one of hisoldest and best friends.

REAL \o\ partis REQUISITE.| ObSßSSsSslßtsSr John P. Mitehel's letter to Mr.Parsons conditionally accepting the Republican

nomination for President of the Board of Alder-men should serve to strengthen the hands of the

Committee of One Hundred in the formation ofihe rest of the ticket. Mr. Mitchel Insists thatifhe is to Stay on the ticket it shall be a "<iti-

"zens* ticker, sincerely conceived In the spirit of"non-partisanship, and chosen with a view to"securing the best possible government for New"York." It Is just such a ticket that the situa-tion calls for. So far as it has been named Itbean a strong impress of a citizens' or non-par-tisan movement, and it should be completed inthe same spirit. The Committee of One Hun-dred should adhere firmly to its position thatIndependent Democrats, be named for some ofthe borough and county offices, not merely be-cause Mr. Mitchel insists upon the ticket'sbearing, the unmistakable impress of non-parti-

sanship, but becaoac the independent votersSympathize with Mr. Mitcbel in bis demand.*

The tillingof these minor offices is compassed

alH.ui wi)h the same dliEHenltles that confrontedfusion on the general ticket. As we understandthe case, iiis proving bard to find independentDemocrats who are willing to take Dominationsfor thes* places. Fusion movements arc oftencriticised for their tendency to result in thenomination of Republicans for office. But as amatter of fact bricks cannot be made withoutstraw. In tills instance the most conspicuousindependent Democrat, Justice Gaynor, was mi

willing to have himself regarded as an anti-Tammany man and so rendered himself una-

vailable. Mr. De Forest, another prominent in-dependent Democrat, pleaded engagements of a

neml-publie character of so pressing a nature asto make it impossible for him to allow bis nameto be considered. Similarly, when it has cometo nominating Democrats for tbe office of Bor-ch;l:. President in Manhattan and The Bronx theIndependent Democrats have been hard to find.One Democrat after another has refused to takethe nomination for Borough President of Man-hattan. The Bronx seems so poor in Indepen-dent Democrats that no one is in sight there.

In Brooklyn the situation is different. Inde-pendent voting is co common across 'the bridge

that there is an abundance of material. The

names of several Independent Democrats ofstanding are available, but the Republican or-ganization is said to be blocking the way toErring to the local ticket in that borough the re-quifiti»uon-parti«an character. Inthis respect theRepublican organization of Kings stands alone,fur apparently there is no opposition among Re-publicans elsewhere to the Domination of Demo-rats, but, on the contrary, the heartiest co-oper-

; ation with the Committee of One Hundred. The:present position of the Republicans of Kings Is| selfish and shortsighted. Ifpersisted in it will

\u25a0 imperil the interests of the fusion movement:generally for the sake of a little questionable1 local advantage. To give to. the fusion ticket[ the impress of sincerity there must be fusion! all alons the line. It willnot do to have non-!partisan nominations in Manhattan, The BroniIand the other .boroughs and straight partisan'

nominations in Brooklyn. Such a surrender to:partisan selfishness would discredit the Com-mittee of One Hundred. and: the whole fusionmovement. Moreover, if.-the question is looked»n from the narrow poiq^vof view of the l'.r<>«>k-lyn organization, its present attitude is abort-Flshted. Brooklyn has more independent votersthan any other borough in the city. They willresent tbe stiffnecked partisan position of tin-

\ Brooklyn organization, and Tammany is evi-dently going to make an appeal to them with Itsticket. We hope the Committee of One Hun-dred will be Indefatigable in its pursuit of in-dependent candidates In the other boroughs andwill be adamant against the suggestion of a\u25a0\u25a0artisan ticket across tbe bridge.

His action wasthe next logical step in the policy of his prede-cessor. There is. In fact, nothing to Indicatethat Mr liarfleld would not have pursued thesame course bad he. remained In otßce.

The Balliugur order was a dUUnct tnrther-aucc of the conservation policy, and yet it waspermitted to become the basis of an attack onthe Tail administration for alleged disloyaltyto that policy. And why? Because PresidentTail was so busy withOmgrewi at the/time thatbe forgot to take the public into bis confidenceand failiii to explain the occasion and purposeof the Hallinger order. Those who may pos-sibly be tempted to pronounce a snap Judgmentben-after should remember ibis Incident.

These and other difficulties besetting the at-tempt to ascertain one's position in the vicin-ity of the pole emphasize the wisdom of re-serving judgment regarding the claims of bothCook and Peary until their instruments andrecords have been examined by disinterestedexperts. An additional circumstance whichought to increase the willingness of the ex-plorers to submit to the test may be found ina recent statement of "The Saturday Review,"of London. That periodical affirms thatShaekleton's story was privately subjected to

the severest tests before any important honorswere conferred on him. These tests, includingscrutiny of his records, resulted in establish-ing the accuracy of his report. Is there anybetter reason for accepting Peary's and~Cook'Bannouncements without verification than therewas for hurriedly conceding Shackleton'aclaims?
