FOR RAILROAD COMMISSION BILL.
Mr.. King Says It Will Do Much Good-No
Longer Wishes Local Board.

In discussing the bill introduced in the legislature
by Edward r. Finch to increase the number and
powers OF the State Railroad Commissioners, Will
lam T. King of the Merchants Association, said
yesterday:
The purpose of the bill is to provide for constant
representation of NeW-York upon the commission
by efficient men; to fix the responsibility fairly upon
the shoulders of the State Railroad Commission: to
confer upon them the power Of carrying out their
findings. subject TO proper appeal; to hold over
them. the faithful performance of their duties
and the meeting of that responsibility the posi-
biity of removal the hands OF the Governor, and
remove the obstacle from the successful prose
cution of their work which might arise on the plea
Of a lack of funds
The additional members provided must under the
proposed amendment. be civil engineers OF ten
years standing in their profession who shall have
resided in the city of NewYork for at least two
years prior = their appointment. The theory on
which this is done Is that the Board OF Railroad
Commissioners will thus he kept in active and
stant touch with the transportation problems

Our committee started with the idea of
local railroad commission, to the exclusion of the
State Railroad Commission far the territory
of greater NewYork IS concerned. On investigation
and study. of the subject however a number of
reasons led the abandonment OF that idea and TO
the adoption OF the views incorporated in the bill
introduced. The creation OF local commission

MORE MONEY FOR LIBRARIES.

Albany March Ex-senator Green to-day intro
duced bill increasing the appropriation for public
school libraries to $4,000. and making the method
of distribution direct. The demand for a
larger appropriation discussed by Superintend-
ent Skinner in his recent annual report. Senator
Green saws there are 1850 school districts in the
State to which about $1,000 is paid for libraries:
an average allotment of 81 SO to each district. and
that last year the Regents of the University dis
trbuted So 50 among 6e academic schools. public
and nryate an average allotment of So to each.
Therefore, he thinks the appropriation for school
districts should be larger.

Municipalism in England.

Sidney Brooks in Harper's Weekly.
 As ssgards municipal . s,sS ownership; ", we n."-Harper's Weekly March IA. 1903.
 I showed that sentence to an English member of Parliament who has been twice mayor and for over ten years a largest cities in the kingdom. His com ment was startling. Happy America!' he exclaimed. Long may she remain so.' He went on to make a vigorous at- ipal enterprise" The old form of it. the form known as ''gas and water social ism," he approved. Experience had con- vinced him that there were certain un- dertakings which, being monopolistic in their nature and vitally bearing on the health or safety or necessary comforts of the people, could be more efficiently and more economically controlled by a muni- cipality than by a private company. He could not. and no more. he declared, could any one else, lay down hard and fast lines as to the sphere in which municipal enterprise might legitimately move Lo- cal conditions. as 1t secmed to him, could alone determine that. But he thought 1t branched out into all sorts of minor trades of speculative and even expeft- mental character, incurred immense lia- bilities in prosecuting them, and raised local taxation to an almost undesirable height. point was reached where 1t be- came a matter of principle and common sense to call halt That point, in his opinion. England had not only reached. but passed. Our local governing author municipal trading. England, without re- alizing it. is settling rapidly down on a Collectivist basis. The municipalities are the socialism of the future in embryo, and the men who compose them, whether they know it or not, are playing the game of the Socialists to perfection. Of course socialism has lost a good many of it's terrors. We are all Socialists now, as Carcourt said. But there Is one thing that has not lost its terrors, and that is bankruptcy: If municipal speculation goes on at its present rate, it is my opin- ion we must either end in a sort of local bankruptcy or else in such a widespread atrophy of private initiative as will work our commercial ruin. That is why, as a lifelong friend and admirer of America. l am glad to hear she is a hundred years behind us in the matter of municipal ownership. That is way I say Long may she remain so,'"

Accuracy in Education.

President woolley. in Harper's Weekly.
 Thoroughness implies accuracy. Glitter ing geneIhlities may have their place. but 1t is not in the class room. Dean Briggs thinks it next to impossible to find youth who can copy a list of print ed names without misspelling," result which might be expected when we leave the strait and narrow way and wobble all over the fiowery meadows" There is no more valuable result of training than the habit of avsolute exactness. and no great CT menace to life in any phase than its lack Failure. to grasp the exact thought of the speaker. to report exactly what has been heard, is a fruitful source or trouble wherever 1t occurs. and the world has a right to demand that our schools and colleges shall train their students to be accurate, if nothing elsel Examination papers and unexpected tests often bring diseomfiture in their train.

Ben Fyanklin's Two Hundrsdth a Birthday.

Harpefs Weekly. }e We heartily welcome the announcement Society of Philadelphia will celebrate the two-hundredth anniversary of the birth of Benjamin Franklin. The association which he founded has done well to start can people will cordially cooperate. If we were asked to designate the eight eenth- Century Americans who are held in highest honor by their countrymen, we should name them in the following and Hamilton. Franklin differs from lief ferson and Hamilton in that, during the periol of political discord which followed his death. he was respected, admired and alike. In this particular, indeed. he was even luckier than Washington. Not even Jefferson was man of so wide and ya- rious requirements, or had 1t In his DOW CT to render so many and so diverse sesv- ices to his State and country. As for Franklins memorable. achievements in the field of political thought and state craft. they stand embodied in the organic laws of Pennsylvania and of the Union; fo four 1 of tn the most most fatefai documeiits in the history of the United States. to wit. the Declaration of Independence, the Treaty of Alliance with France. the the Federal Constitution. These four sig natures should suffice to make the man immortal. Curiously enough, though Franklin left no legitimate son, he has through his one daughter numerous dsscendants Had s,ss he died however hove like Ike body, he would have found in his eoun- try and his State grateful inheritors of his renown. It is impossible for any vis- itor to Philadephia to gaze n at indepsnd Franklin. Si monumentum quaeris, cir cumspice.

A Religious Journals View.
The Living Church Protestant Episc

The Living Church Protestant Episco-
 paD, Milwaukee.
 We sincerely hope there may be wisdom enough in the Wisconsin Legislature to defeat a pending bill to authorize the Governor to invite the Governors of all uties to a national conference to be held in Atlanta for the discussion of the negro problem. From any point of view. the state Of Wisconsin Is the last in the Un- ion that would be justified in taking such action. We have here no negro problem, and 1t is hardly consistent with that practical humility which should charac- terize intelligent men. to assume that our assistance in solving it where it Is some what vexatious. would be large measure of help. If the State of Georgia should take the initiative. the case would be diff ferent; but 1t would be as reasonable for ing law; or for the Fjlipinos to call a con vention to settle the Mormon problem; or for the State of Massa chusetts to interest herself in the details of the Arizona irri- gation, as for this State of Wisconsin to interpose it's uninvited services by calling a convention in another State, to discuss d problem that in the former community referred to, concerns the whole country, but 1t is also true that it is one that can best be solved by experts. who have prac- tical knowledge of the quesction. and not by theorists at a distance.
 More harm has been lone In the South by the intervention of we'll meaning peo- pie from the North into Southern diffl- culties than by all the alleged anti-negro sentiment that there may be tcund in the South. We earnestly trust that the Wis consin Legislature will confine It's at tention to those nearer home
