Whitelaw Reid.
Whitelaw Roid's death is an international
loss. At his post in London he
was an influence f?>r good beyond the affairs
directly intrusted to him. Tie had
established an exceptional popularity in
circles other than diplomatic, but in that
circle he was held in the highest esteem.
The representatives of all the great powers
commissioned to the British capital
were impressed by his personal accomplishments
as well as by his capacity for
business, and became his friends. In this
way he added to the prestige of his country
abroad while adding to his own fame.
American travelers visiting London were
gratified by the regard in which he was
held there, and heard his praises sounded
Isewhere abroad in terms testifying to a
wide distribution of the appreciation of
the man and the diplomat.
As between his own government and
that to which he stood accredited, the exchange
of cablegrams between President
Taft and King CJeorge tells feelingly and
impressively how well he carried himself
in office, and how well he is entitled now
to the profound regrets felt in both countries
at his passing.
Mr. Field's whole career was another illustration
of what capacity, courage, industry
and staying power united in a man
may achieve under our institutions. His
beginnings were modest, and unassisted
by either wealth or other "pull." But,
: mmeuiuiei v, lit* iouiiu rus p:aie, anu,
steering by its lights, exhibited the qualities
which brought him both wealth and
intellectual prominence. He was reportin;/
for the newspapers battles in our
civil war when-fresh from school. In his
early thirties he was the managing editor
of the leading republican organ of the
country, and forty years ago succeeded to
full control, and has kept the paper since
abreast of the times, and a leading exponent
of the best journalism of the era.
College bred, and thoroughly grounded
in history and politics, Mr. Reid looked at
life both from the viewpoint of the reading
man and from that of the man of action.
This led him into orfiee when the
time came that he could afford it, and
secured for him recognition commensurate
with his high attainments. And,
wherever placed, he acquitted himself
with credit.
His reputation, however, will rest upon
his record as a journalist. He "found"
himself when a lad. His tirst ambition
was to write for the daily press; and he
entered that field of labor as soon as the
school door closed behind him. His advance
was rapid and deserved, and before
rtaching middle life he had taken a place
among the strongest men contributing by
their pens to the shaping of public policies
in this country. A long, and busy,
and useful, and eminent life has closed.
At the Helm.
Is Gov Wilson going to be inclined
as President to try his hand personally
at all the means and methods of transportation.
as d d a ct-rtain distinguished
predecessor at the White House? It is
remembered how Col. Roosevelt made
it almost a practice to clamber into
the locomotive of his special train
while 011 tour and hold the throttle
1*41 r :? f e w milPK tn iliimanutruTi. that
? - ? v ? * III v itu v i u ii. % A I U L 1
he could run the thing as well as any
one else. .Mr. Wilson, on his way up i
from Uermuda, handled the steering
wheel for a while, and. while he was
not eminently successful on the first
attempt, he proved that he had grit
enough to hold on while the ship was
turkey trotting more or less in the
neighborhood of her course. It must
be borne in mind that the Presidentto-la
is an expert l>i? yclist. something
that no other President has ever been.
.\ bicyclist is a fairly good steerer in
all circumstances, and this ought to
make the new executive steady in the
handlin
ci*aft or vehicle. Will it qualify him
as a trusty helmsman for the ship of
state'.' J'erhaps the hit of experience
on t lie run from Hamilton to NewYork
may have given Gov. Wilson a
foretaste of the difficulties of a personally
conducted voyage on troubled
waters.
No democrat seriously expects that W.
.1. ltryan will find himself called upon to
assume as much responsibility during the
extra session as he undertook at the Haltimore
convention.
It may require some expertness to de
tcrminc where the question i?f canal tolls
> iids and that of supervision of possible
s.iip-suhsidVs begins.
A really aeeomplished performer van

O'Gorman and Sheehan.
Until the other day. Judge Alton B.
J'arker and William K. Sheehan were law
partners, with a large corporation practice.
The dissolution of the tlnn has
created some talk, and part of it?a part
as yet under the rose?rcdates to the incoming
administration.
It is stated behind the hand that Mr.
Sheehan has renewed hopes of election to
the Senate, and is Teeing himself for the
new held He missed two years ago
partly because of up-state opposition in
the legislature, and partly because of the
faintheartedness of Gov. Dix. who sympathized
with his candidacy but was
afraid to aid it.
Beginning in January the situation will
be different at Albany. The democratic
majority in the legislature will be larger
than on the previous occasion, and Gov.
Sulzer v. ill be a man of more experience
and couhage in i?olltics than Gov. Dix.
Hence the suggestion that Mr. Sheehan
will try again, and this time with flattering
prospects of success.
As the story goes, Mr. O'Gormai. is not
enamored of his place in the Senate, and
would favorably consider an invitation to
enter Mr. Wilson's cabinet as Attorney
General. The trusts will require skillful
handling on legal rather than political
lines, and Mr. O'Gorman la flrat ml all a
1 lawyer. So If Mr. Wllaon issues tfcn Invitation?and
he is to be advised to do
so?Mr. O'Gorman will accept, and that
will create a vacancy for which Mr. Sheahan
will be urged.
, Mr. Sheehan is a politician of the con'
ventional New York school, but far above
the average in point of ability. He may
> be described as the political grandson of
Samuel J. Tilden. That is to say. he is
the political son of David B. Hill, who
' was the political son of Mr. Tilden. And
as Mr. Hill was the favorite pupil of
Mr. Tilden. Mr. Sheehan was the favorite
pupil of Mr. Hill. He knows all the
ropes, and pulls them well.
If. therefore. Mr. Sheehan at last real
Izes his ambition, he will enter the senate
in time to participate in the tariff revision
by the next Congress. He knows
something about the subject, and twenty
years ago leaned to the side of protection.
In the contest over the speakership
of the Fifty-second Congress he
came to Washington and used his Influence
with the New York delegation in
favor of Judge Crisp, who was the conservative-tariff
candidate, against Mr.
Mills, the tariflf-for-revenue-only candidate.
And probably he still trains with
the conservatives in the matter of customs
duties.
Unlike Mr. O'Gorman, Mr. Sheehan has
given a good deal of time to politics, and
in the Senate would rank at once with
his party's managers there. He possesses
a good deal of the Gorman finesse,
plus a knowledge of the law which the
Maryland senator lacked.
A Congressional Education.
After a continuous service of eighteen
years in Congress, William Sulzer retires
to become Governor of New York. At a
dinner the other evening he spoke of the
happiness he had had iii his commission,
and with great appreciation of the men
he had met in congressional life. Is not
a word in order as to the value of his
experience in Washington considered in
connection with the duties he will take
up at Albany?
It is a certainty that if Gov. Sulzer
scores a success it will be due in large
measure to the opportunities enjoyed and
improved by Representative Sulzer. We
shall see in that success the fruits of the
training received here.
Consider. Service in Congress?in either

wwuwv viiwvivo tt Itiau IU OlUU)| l'lUSC up,
both public men and public measures; to
note how the wheels go round; to appraise
motives, and performances, and results.
In a word. Congress is a school
in which a capable pupil learns much
that cannot be acquired anywhere else,
and which. If he takes service elsewhere,
whether In politics or out, is invaluable
to him.
There are innumerable cases, but that
of Mr. McKinley is conspicuous and comparatively
recent. After a service in the
House?not as long, however, as Mr.
Sulzer s?he became Governor of Ohio, and
in his course in that office showed in his
judgment of men for appointment and
of measures sent to hiin by the legislature ;
the training he had received in Washington.
And when in time he was promoted
from Columbus to this town, he
showed in the White House the value of 1
the experience he had acquired while a 1
national legislator. He was one of the 1
most successful of our Presidents, and
largely because of his knowledge of the
processes of lawmaking, an J of many
of the men engaged in the work. As the
phrase is, "he got along with Congress"
admirably.
The proposition that the country would
profit if men after serving as President
were transferred to Congress is not half
so meritorious as would be a proposition
that candidates for President be taken
from the list of men with congressional
experience- In Congress?Senate or House
?a former President would at most be a
debater, an adviser. His power to apply
what he had learned in the White House
would be very limited.
But transfer a bright man from Congress
to the presidency, with the very
j large power to apply in the White House
what he had learned in Congress, and the
benefits would show both in his appointments
to ottice and In his approvals or
vetoes of bills sent to him for his signature.
1 The jokesmiths hold Congress up to 1
ridicule as a noisy rabble overfond of a
j talkfest. But it is, on the contrary, for
those qualified for the opportunities afforded,
an incomi>arable training field for
the highest orders of public usefulness. i
1
Novelists have said that love and j
money are me i?o great elements ot ,
human interest. With marriage described
as a lottery and the New York Stock Ex- 1
change as a gambling device, the theory
that life is a game of chance seems to be
vindicated.
It was lucky that the national conventions,
In addition to their other arduous
duties, did not have to make selections i
of available talent for the chairmanship i
of the inauguration committee.
, ,,, ,
Kansas women are said to be dodging
jury duty. Some of the women who be- i
cotr.e politicians do not take their less '
agreeable civic responsibilities any more
gracefully than the men.
If the people immediately involved in 1
conflict do not believe that the preparations
for diplomatic procedure in I?ndon '
are careful and complete, they can read '
the menus. 1
Gov. Wilson will probably be surprised
to find how much work has been
done in his absence in the way of providing
him with a list of suitable cabinet
officers.
Circumstances are such that much of :
the time left to officials under the present 1
administration will naturally be occupied
in pointing with pride. ,

In addition to the forest tires, there is

No American Dreyfus.
Since the great French military scandal '
of some years ago. every time an officer
of army or navy in any country is '
accused and convicted of offens.es and ;
punished his partisans proclaim that lie
has been "Dreyfused." This is the cry
now in the case of a naval commissary
steward who lias been tried by court- 1
martial on charges relative to the disbursement
of stores, convicted and sentenced
to five years in prison. His attorney
has appealed to the Secretary of
the Navy, as of course is his right, and in
presenting the appeal declares that the
man was accorded an unfair trial, given
no definite information as to the nature
of the charge and practically condemned
upon an incriminating statement extracted
from him through duress, solitary confinement
and threat of irons. In other
words, the case is carried to a higher
1 court for revision, and Secretary Meyer
? will consider it as all other cases involving
the punishment of members of the
1 naval personnel are considered. If there
i has been an unfair trial, if the man has
>i
bwn "railroaded," If he is In truth in- i
noeent and has been convicted upon in
adequate evidence, he is assured of a fair |
bearing and a chance to prove hia innocence.
There can be no "Dreyfus" caaes !
In this country.

"We want a man in Congress who i
can hurry reforms along," said the
churlish citizen.

The Interrogator.
He asked strange questions as a child;
To answer them they tried in vain.
With airs superior he smiled
As they endeavored to explain.
Now, full grown, with a polished brow.
He brings up "problems" strange, forsooth.
He asks more foolish questions now
Than in his very early youth.
It may he that people are just as dignified
as they ever were. Hut it seems more
sedate to think of a man boasting that
he is a good waltzer than that he is a
good turkey-trotter.
TJselessness.
"J should advise you to join the Society for
the Prevention of Useless Giving."
said the unenthusiastic man.
"But you are inconsistent. As a rule,
there isn't anything you can give a man
that is liable to prove more useless than
advice."
Valuation.
"Since you are so fond of flowers, why
don't you become a florist?"
"I couldn't think of it," replied the impractical
enthusiast. "Every time I traded
off anything as beautiful as a bunch of
roses for mere money, I'd feel as if I had
been cheated."
The most dangerous man on earth is
the one who pretends to love his enemies
for the sake of luring them into range to
get a shot at them.

It runs unwearied and serene.
A flywheel is its heart.

Persuades it to complain.

Fireproof Santas.
From tlie Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph.
There have been so many revelations of
grafting ajid various forms of vice in
New York city that it is a pleasing relief
to learn of something being done
then- for public ami private welfare. This
"something" is a movement having for
its object the tireproofing of the .Santa j
('laus whiskers and raiment so freely and
numerously worn in the stores of the
metropolis. These materials, the authorities
insist, must be made non-inflammable,
for tiie protection of those in the vicinity
as well as for the wearers of the wh.skprs
and costumes. As nearly every community
has a scorched Santa at one time

would be well to extend the non-inflam- j
mable precautionary measures to enter- j
tainments. both public and private, and 5
thereby prevent painful injuries and, possibly,
fatal panics, of which there have ^
been so many in the past. And it is a
precaution that should be Insisted upon

mitted that for once, at least. New York
city has set an example worthy of emulation.
A Tour of Peace.
from lh>* Boston Post.
The plans of President Taft, following
his retirement front ofiieial life at Washington,
as annonneed, are happily consonant
with the dignity of lite place which
lie holds and with that which falls by
Inheritance to our ex-Presidents. His
acceptance of the chair of professor at
Yale t'nlversity is entirely appropriate.
Itt a yet broader way, the project of a
world tour is admirable. There are precedents
for such a period of relaxation.
i Grant made his memorable journey
in the capacity of a military hero as well . ,
as that of an honored administrator. Col. ?
