The rejection by the lovrer branch of
the Massachusetts L/egislatqre «if * con
current resolution raufyin~ tiie income

-represents the deliberate and properly

seriously questioned (he advisability <>i

Alabama Mai South Carolina, were
elected in JOQB, and only two, those of

in low. But in Kentucky no state eon

UK. ROOSEVELT OX "INTEBNA.-
TIOXAL PEACE."
That .111 ex-President of the United
♦States should addres§ the Nobel Prize
Committee at Christiani.i as the recip
ient of the prise for promoting Interna
tional peace Is ■ unique incident It
was highly interesting to have such a
prize won and such an address deliv
ered by a man of militant disposition
who had been conspicuously associated
with the increase of armaments and the
exertion of military power. But there
was no incongruity. Indeed' not m
spite of, but ratber because of, his ap
pr«»eiHtinn of the Deed of military effi
ciency Mr. Uoosevelr was « fitting ex
ponent of the peaceful desires and de
siinis of m nation which without undue
boasting can claim to lw second to none
in its aversion to war. -,
To the logic of his eddress it Would
!>p difficult to take exception. The lirst
means of avoiding war is through
treaties of arbitration, and the next is
through the development of an inter
national tribunal similar to that which
our State Department has recently ad
vocated. There should also be a move
ment for the checking of the jrrowtb of
armaments, but on that point Mr.
Iloosevelt wisely observes that the
thing must be done by general agree
ment and not by the act of a single
power. All thoughtful men v.ill surely
agree with him in holding that it would
be eminently undesirable for a peace
loving power to disarm, and thus put
itself at the mercy of some rival. So,
lie argues, there should be a league «>f
peace among the nations, which should
restrict the size of* armament?,, but
which at the same time should main
tain a sufficient military force to make
i(3 will effective. It iei c easy, perhaps,
to make a jest of the proposal to keep
the peace, even if we have to fipht for
It. but of course, that is precisely. what
is done in -every community which has
a police force for the maintenance of
peace and order, and that is the precise
condition on which alone peace could be
preserved in the world by an interna
tional lea sup of peace.
"\w believe that Mr. Roosevelt accu
rately expressed the most intelligent
and enlightened sentiment of this na
tion in thus arguing that peace must be
based upon justice and righteousness
and must l»e maintained by a power
which i* physically capable of repress
ing disturbances and enforcing order.
While no single nation can exercise
such power, ■ league of half a dozen
might easily do so. Bnt to secure per
manent ro-oporation among the half.
dozen chief nation* of the world fot
Chat purpose, however desirable It may
be.-' is not a simple and Facile, task, 'o
be achieved at a single sitting at after
noon tea. or even, we fear, at a Biagle
session of Hie most responsible and au
thoritative of international congresses.
PRACTICAL GIYIC&.
It is probable thai never before in the
history of the world was anything like
asrinHi attention paid I<< the study of
what "me "may generically term civl^ as
there is now. We would not except even
Athens, because there the study of the
science of citizenship and government
and social interests was confined to a
small and privileged class, while in oar
day it is universal, and if it prevails
in one part «if th*» - eoiuiminfty more than
in another it is in the. very part, which
corresponds with that to which it was
unknown Id Plato's day. And this must
bo regarded as a decidedly hopeful cir
cums&hcc. For while the saying im
puted to James Madison may have been
true, that even if every Athenian citi
zen had been a Socrates, still .ill the
Athenian citizens would have been a
mob, wo must certainly prefer a. mob
of philosophers to a mob of Helots. The
citizenship, ><{ the «-ity. tlie sL'ite or the
nation, is the aggregate of citizenship
of the individual citizens.
la this view of tho case we might give
high rank as an agency for the cultivation
of practical civics to the department of
our educational system which « has just
<-ompl'^«>d the twenty-first year of its
Iroffc. We refer in the organized scheme
of adult education which is commonly
known as the free public lecture courses
of the Board of Education. For while it
in not specifically devoted to civics In
tit*' narrow and technical application of
the word, but alms to cover the whole
yiuiii.i'.n •/'/"<;/#■ of papular fend popu
larlzable knowledge, the fact, is that the
Lest development of enlightened citizen
ship is to be attained In just that way.
There are some, particularly among our
fc<jcialist friends, who have 'dwelt bo
much upon narrow topics of social eeo
nomien, to the negteci of more general
and extended and symmetrical observa
tions of the world, that they have he
come little more than faddists and <]<«■
trinaire.-. That error is Carefully avoided
in this "People's University.*' as the
lecture system has been a:)tly termed,
and the development of citizenship is
sought through the symmetrical 'devel
opment of the whole man.
ii is encouraging to observe the steady
growth of I lie system. l>oth here in New
York. win re it 1,;,,] Us beginning, and
also in many other cities "which have

THE GQVERXOR'S CO^IIXG SFIJECH.
The news that Governor Hughes is
goin?r to talk to the public in favor of
the lllnman-«rcen v bill will have its
effect upon the prospects of that meas
ure, as will the speech itself. The- oppo
nents of the bill will understand that
they stUI have the Governor to. reckon
with and that he has several months
left in his present ollice. The bill must
have ft fair chance before both houses
and the voters must have an opportunity
of knowing just how their Assembly
man and Senator have represented or
misrejiresnihd their opinions.
Since Mr. Hushes last, spoke upon this
subject, the chief development has boon
the suggestion of a number of Republi
cans whose character hud attainments
give importance to their opinions that
it would be wisest to try only a small
dose of the Hinman-Green plan at first,
and that the application of it to the
nomination of members of tbo Legislat
ure would afford a fair test of the utility
of the whole scheme. This suggestion
deserves discussion. If the Ilinnmu
<irecu plan could be fairly tested in Hint
way it would be wiser for (lie stale to
go slow in taking such a radical depart
ure as adopting ■ now and largely un
tried system of making nominations.
But can the Hinruan-Greeu plan be fair
ly tested a part at a time, or is ii one
of those thimrs which form an organic
whole and which are not susceptible, Of
effo«iive uto if taken to pieces? HOW
largely does the success of direct nomi
nations in improving political conditions
depend upon the interest which they will
arouse iv the primaries, and will there
be sufficient interest in primaries for
making nominations for unimportant of
fices to afford a fair test of the efficacy
of the plan?
Governor Hughes has , thought more
deeply upon the subject of direct nomi
nations than nny other man In the state,
awl whatever he may say about the
possibility of fairly testing his plan one
part, at a time will be generally regarded
as weighty.
COMMOX G&NSB IX WASHINGTON.
"The New York Tunes" advises Presi
dent Taft that he has now "an opportu
nity <<> trhow hie courage and mftke an
"impression upon the country"' by re
jecting the postal savings bank bill and
the railroad bill when they come to
him from Congress. Of the former "The
Times"' remarks that "the point is not
"the merits of the scheme [thnt will pass
"Congress], but the fact that it is not
"Mr. Tnft's bill." This is not very flat
tering to Mr. Taft. We should say that
in his mind "the point" would dis
tinctly the merits of the hills that tuijiht
come to him, not their conformity with
the bills which he originally proposed.
If the bills are good bills we should ex
pect him to sign them even if they* had
been largely made over in Congress.
The plan of introducing "administra
(ion measures'' would work very badly
if the Executive should take such pride
in bis suggestions that any change by
Congress would be discouraged. No ad
ministration measure should be regarded
as beyond improvement: or not open to
question or discussion, In Congress are
many experts, at least in the details of
framing legislation. Some of them have
given most of their lives to this work,
and hit attitude toward "administration
measures*' which would discourage their
contributing their experience and
ripened judgment to the putting of such
measures in shape would be absurd and
hurtful. There is not. the least reason
for thinking that Mr. Taft holds the
opinion vhi'ii "The Times" urges upon
him, that ''the point is no< the merit
of the. bills, but the fact "that the bills
are cot his bills as originally proposed
A lit tie common sense should straighten
out the difficulties under which the Taft
proposals now seem to be laboring. Tie
phenomenon of insurgency is bewildering
because it is unfamiliar. But we decliuo
to believe that the breakdown of party
discipline is Ibe cud of good sense. Do
the gen* lemon iv the House of Kcpreseut
atives who are stuffing the railroad bill
dally with all sorts of fantastic non
sense take what they arc doing seri
ously? They know what they arc about
They are candidates for election next
fall. Kiev arc free, gloriously tree. No
rude restraining hand is upon them;
they know that the "home folks" know
it and therefore they, have no excuse for
failing to titillate the economic and
political fancies of their constituencies.
They cannot po back and ray that they
were 'hot for ■physical '"valuations and
long and short haul provisions, but thai
"Cannon* smothered and suppressed
them and tile organization stilled their
zeal. They must now "deliver the goods,"
and they are delivering them. After es
tablishing a record in the sight of all
men they will be in a position to get
down 10 business and pass a measure
that represents the consensus of Repub
lican opinion iv both houses and will be
acceptable to a Republican President
The counsel of despair comes from those,
who for interested reasons are pointing
at the dreadful things that happen when
legislative machinery is irreverently
darted to the scoapbeap. But until the
event proves it. however much It may
look. that way. we Bhall not be ready
to believe that common sen';o was
".scrapped" at the same time.
HELPING ro\s!M/'J l\
As Dr. William 11. Park, the chief
bacteriologist of the. Board of Health of
this city, enjoys v national reputation for
the painstaking thoroughness of his ii;
'.estimations, the opinions which he ex
pressed at the tuberculosis conference in
Washington this week will command
wide attention. He does not fully accept
Dr. Koch* reiterated declaration that
man is in no danger whatever from dis
eased cattle, but he puts the percentage
of human cases which have a bovine
origin at a very low ligure.
Concerning the value of prevention
by the prohibition of spitting in pub
lie places, i.. ample ventilation in th»
homes of the poor and bt] devjelQpJlis
resistance to disease through a nour
ishlii£ diet, uo one will gainsay the New
York pathologist. The gospel is not neW".
■b,ut i it i onnuofc bo preached too faithfully;
So much has been accomplished by free
lectures and the distribution of litera

one of the most useful suggestions of
fered at, Washington is that better means
for ; p,e^irrlE|g * employment for perseuS
who are discharged from sanatorium^ be
provided. Tbe managers of such institu
tions sometimes interest themselves in
getting work for those whom /they,- cure.
but the responsibility is" not one which
they should expected to assume. If.
as Dr. A. M, Forster. of Louisville, pro
posexl. a. large farm in too Southwest to
which convaJeaaovta could he transferred
should be secured, the needs of: ninny
patients would " doubtless be met satis
factorily for a. time. The outdoor life
which they: would "there lead would be
highly conducive to a more perfect re
covery. As ' the existence of ' the place
would, of course, be known at all saua
toriunis in the country, the fact could
promptly be utilized by those who so de
sired- Tho piirchnse of such a farm and
the organization of a suitable board of
officers, to c6:atrpl and advertise It would
be a fine piece of practical benevolence.
Harvard does well In adopting a stand
ard shade of reel for the university color,
and it is to be wished that a similar re
form could be popularly effected in be
1 half of the American flag. Flag 3of
official make are fairly uniform, but
those of private manufacture vary from
light blue to indigo and from scarlet

Drivers of automobiles arc doubtless
to be commended for trying to .steer
tin machines so as to avoid striking:
persons who are in the road, especially
vrhen they do so. as some have done, at
the cost of wrecking the machines and
endangering their own lives. But we
must confess ourselves to be at a loss
to understand the need or doing it. Why
dp they not stop the cars, since, as we
are assured, that can be done easily and
quickly. It has been said that a car
running at top speed can be stopped
within the distance Of a few yards.
Surely, then? a car running at the mod

Countess Anna Maria Helena de NoaHles,
a member of one of the historic families
of France, made a curious will which lias
lately been proved. She left her estate at
Meads, Eastbourne, England, to found "St.
Mary's Orphanage." laying down tho fol
loning rules for the education of the girls:
No competitive examinations, no .study be
fore breakfast, no study after •} p. m., all
lessons to be learned in the morning, no
girl to work more than four and a half
hours daily. No arithmetic, except the
multiplication tables for children under
ten. No child with curvature of the sphie
to write more than five minutes a day until
thirteen. Each girl must be certified -by
two phrenologists as not deficient in con
scientiousness and firmness; no child to be
vaccinated.

COMMUTER AT THE BRIDGE
Delay of Business Men by River Traffic
Resented by Roads.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: This morning fourteen Erie main
line and New Jersey and New York com
muter trains were dejayed from twenty
minutes to one and one-half hours at the
JL*ckensack drawbridge by reason : of. a
brick schooner. being wedged in; the draw.
Several years ago tjie Erie. in. associa
tion with the :p.eU»wa,re,. I.ackawanna &
Western, the 'Jersey Central ami Pennsyl
vania railroads, ■ took up vigorously with
the -War Department the question of hav
ins thd drawbrldffes on the - Hackensack
and Paesaic rivers closed for an hour or
two in -the morning and an hour or two In
the. evening. in *rder that commuter traffic
might be handled promptly r "-l or many
years, as is quite well known, the open
ing and closing of drawbridges during the
rush hours .have seriously-delayed th© Bub
urban trains. Fully 70 per cent cent of the
delays to Erie commuter trains la due to
open bridges. -
Some years ago th« government Issued
instructions relative to the Harlem River
drawbridges. The traffic of. the liackcn
sack and Passaic rivers Is hardly 10 per
cent of what it is on the Harlem River, yet
the government has steadfastly refused to
put in effect such an order for these water
ways.
This la a rather serious matter to rail
roads carrying New Jersey commuters, and
any assistance you can give us toward asri
tatinjf the subject I have no doubt will
be thoroughly appreciated by the patrons
of the railroads -whose lines cross* the
Hackcn3ack and Passaic river?.
There is really not sufficient traffic on
these rivers to justify taking the chances
that commuters have to take in being seri
ously delayed as they wer© this morning.

WHEN SUN AND MOON FADE.
To Hie. Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: ■ nancy's comet Is not the only sky
exhibition announced for the month of
May. Two of the four solar and lunar
eclipses of 1910 will take place— the first, a
total solar eclipse, occurring on May S, and
the second, a total lunar eclipse, being visi
ble on May 28 and 2t. The solar eclipse of
May 8 will not bo visible to 113 of the East,
but th" lunar eclipse of May 23 and 21 will
be visible— the moon entering the earth's
shadow (New York) at 10:50 p. m. and leav
ing the earth's shadow at 2:% a. m.
Such an eclipse is not as interesting and
instructive as a total polar eclipse, but
there Is a certain welrdness about the ter
restrial interception of tbe moon's) sun
light When watching a lunar eclipse- we.
should recall a few facts respecting our
beautiful satellite— on© of which is that
our earth |s about forty-nine time 3as large
and, also, that bodies at the terrestrial sur
face weigh approximately blx times aa
much aa they would at the lunar surface.

FOR AN "INTERDEPENDENCE DAY."
To the BStor of Tlie Tribune:
Sir: "Tlie iksire of all nation*?" Is prac
tically tho same. "life, liliorty and the
pursuit, of liappiness" sums it urt. The
fact has been fully demonstrated through
out the centuries and especially in recent
years that th^ interests Of all nation?, and
of all individuals, even to the remotest
soul, fire Iniiissolnbly linked together.
Let us take our great national holiday—
the name of which. Independence Day. has
lost its significance, and the celebration of
which is tottering for lack of suitable
forms of expression— and throw it open to
the world as the nucleus for an interna
tional holiday, devoted to the thought, the
study and the development of world-wide
peace.
Liet is be understood that if two or more
nations have any dutcrcnce whatever the
Fourth of July, Interdependence Day. Pliall
b<: a day of armistice and truce, on which
they shall rest from all thought of disputa
tion and dwell on the peace that i" to come
Let our celebration of the day in this coun
try and wherever the plan may be adopted
be along the uplifting lijies of the study of
peace, rather than in childish exultation
in warlike noise. I^>t our enthusiasm and
force be converted into terms of harmony,
in thought, word and deed, in speech and
music and friendly discussion and benefi
cent forms of work, rather than Into terms
of undesirable discord.
Th© celebration this year, for instance,
could be amply supplied with material by
popularizing the subject of the approach
ing peace congress of 1?1", and the out
come of this year's celebration a"d the
natural resultant forensic and literary di.
cussion in various countries would furnish
abundant basin for the succeeding celebra
tions until the great peace congress on
which .the hopes of the world are so much
set, thai! hays begun its momentous ses
