II must be almost as trying to Coz

state police bill defeated, but for
somewhat different reason. Platt de-
sired the success of that bill because
he wanted to use it in his political OPP

such end in view. He onl y accepted
it to placate Platt. He has obtained
this end to some extent, but it must
be mortifying to him to find both him.
self and Platt defeated in the Legis-
lature. He has demonstrated his
good will to Platt, but he has done
him no substantial service, his expert
ence here tending to prove that he has
stopped to doa wrong act without
realizing any of the effects which his
course was expected to confer. The
governor can console himself with re-
tiecting that he never had much in
fuence with the New York Legsla-
ture, and that Platt probably under
stood this before without the need of
its being demonstrated now. But his
accepted obligation to do something
more than express sympathy with
Platt probably remains undischarged
to the extent of the failure of this
measure.
