Harper's Weekly.
A cautious, progressive, imaginative, al
together admirable viceroy in all other
ways. Lord Curzon has not proved an easy
man TO work with or under. Officialdom
frankly and undisguisedly dislikes him.
Neither with the army nor with the civil
service nor in Simla society is he popular.
But then what sort OF viceroy is it that
society and officialdom prefer?
They like, for one thing, manageable"
viceroy, without personality or initiative,
one who will contentedly remain a gold
gilt dummy and fgurehead. hide himself
in Simla eight months out of the twelve,
and hibernate in Calcutta the remaining
four. and not attempt to learn anything OF
the people except at third or fourth hand.
If to this gift for self-effacement he adds
the attraction of long lineage. charming
manners, and a good figure on horseback.
then he comes pretty near the social and
bureaucratic ideal OF what viceroy should
be. And this, more or less. is the standard
to which the average viceroy. like Lord
Dufferin or Lord Lansdowne or Lord Elgin,
conforms.
Lord Curzon had no intention of becoming
a viceroy of this stamp. He landed In Bonn
bay, said an unfriendly critic, with the
OF 6snop and the snasS tS % so aa
deal more than that-with a knowledge OF
India and its problems. laboriously ac-
quired and unexpectedly accurate, with
an enthusiasm for his work and an intense
earnestness in doing It; above all, with the
resolve TO be viceroy In fact as well as In
name. The bureaucratic bones were soon
set a-rattling. The young viceroy. instead
OF subscribing to a policy, came TO formu-
late one; instead of meekly following. made
Ii clear from the start that he meant to be
master.
The establishment of officialdom found
vent In nicknames. young Man IN Hur-
ry'' was the first; Imperial George" fol-
lowed soon after; George the Fifth" stuck
the longest. No doubt Mrs. Hawsbee and
her official friends have had a good deal TO
complain Of Curzon carries the parlia-
mentary napier in his hand a little too
often and wields IL more aptly than a
starched and stiff-necked bureaucracy has
any liking for Also the social duties OF his
post bore him. His manners are brusoue
and naughty, and he has none of the small
graces the social instinct that belonged
to Lord Dufferin.
Nor has he the softening, lubricating
quality of humor. He takes himself and
his work with a seriousness that would Kill
lesser man, and leaves the social side OF
his position to Lady Curzon, who carries
it through with American grace and
brilliancy. All this, with his merciless in
sistence on efficiency, has made him as
salutary and unpopular a nuisance In the
Indian bureaucracy as Lord Kitchener IL
in the army.

Two bills are before the Legislature de-
signed to regulate the running of automo-
biles. Senator Johnston's bill requires the
driver of an automobile to stop when sig
nailed to do so by a person driving horses
by putting up his hand, and to remain sta
tionary long as it is necessary for the
horses to pass or to be Quoted. This re-
quirement applies to automobiles going i'm
the same or the opposite direction. Every
owner of an automobile is required, If
resident of the State. to file, within thirty
days after this bill may be passed. with the
clerk of the circuit court In the county i'm

ther required that every motor vehicle shall
have the initials of the owner placed on the
back OF such vehicle. such letters to be
back in a conspicuous position. The fine

The other bill was introduced i'm the House
Jan. 20 by Mr.. Hull, and requires that the
driver of an automobile shall stop within
fifty feet of an approaching carriage drawn
by horses and wait until the vehicle shall
have passed. The penalty of neglect to
obey the requirement is a fine not exceed
ing s25. The aforementioned bill contains
sensible provisions which are ample for the
protection of all. The latter is open to
criticism on the ground that it is not neces-
sary for an automobile to stop unless there
is danger. The Johnston bill should be sat
