Maine has rs electric railway

roads and II2 miles, Massachusetts,
73 roads and ABA miles; Rhode
Island 9 roads and 4o3 miles: Con-
necticut 20 roads 6S7 miles and
New York TOO roads and 3,Io2
miles. The total mileage of all the
states given is7,798. These figures
include street railways as wella as
interurban lines, for in this territ-
tory it is almost impossible to diff
ferentiate the two owing to the
large areas which though III real
.ity rural, are SO populous that the
traffic partakes of the nature Of
city travel
New York has the greatest mi

A SQUARE Deal.

President Roosevelt has never done q
more gracious or just thing in his official
career than the restoration to service of
the young man who was recently dismissed
from his public position because he had, as
charged, misbehaved while driving a gov
eminent automobile in the neighborhood of
the presidential carriage. This young mans
case would probably not have been spe-
cialIy noticed but for the fact that imme-
diately after the incident the President
promulgated his summary dismissal order,
affecting the entire government service.
For that order he was criticised, and the
criticism directed against the innovation
holds good today. But the case of young
Eividge may be considered in an aspect
apart from the broader question, whether
or not the chauffeur's dismissal was the
inspiration of the order.
The President makes plain that he REIN
states the man not because he considers
that his dismissal was unjust but because
he scored an excellent record In the Phil
ippine service and his father is veteran of
the Union army. These are good reasons.
Nevertheless, there will remain a belief in
many minds that the young man was dis
missed without a sufficient hearing.
This case illustrates the unwisdom of the
order which followed so closely upon Ell
vidge's discharge. Summary punishment Is
apt to be hasty. and may, be unjust. Good
administration does not demand that the
accused be given opportunity to be
heard. to present extenuating circum-
stances, to offer considerations for the ex-
ercIse of clemency and sympathy. If there
is a reason to be tolerant of fault, or to
palliate an offense, the best time to listen
to it IS when the case is first under consid-
Grafton.
Perhaps the Elvidge case may yet serve
its best purpose in emphasizing the danger
of the summary method of official dlsci-
pine and in any event the President is to
be complimented on having in this con-
spicuous instance given the man in the
case the square deal which he has declared
to be the right of every Individual

The Bosses and the Future.

The Hon l. Freeman Raisin of Baltimore
has seen a Hght-a great white light. No
more suffrage "tinkering for him. Not
that he opposed the 'tinkering INDUCED in
of late years in Maryland, but 1t has disap-
pointed his expectations 1t has not yielded
the fruits so ardently longed for. For the
present, therefore, he Is through. If there
are others who would tinker they must
get along without him. His "tinkering
days are over.
When Free was strong, tinkerer bold was he;
Now Free is licked, further tinkerer. See?
'Tis we'll Mr.. Raisin is like his brother
Cox of Cincinnad-knows a good stiff punch
in the ribs when he receives one. And then,
mark you, Gov. Warfeld has a suffrage
plan on hand. and Mr.. Raisin slyly serves
notice that his assistance is not at the
governors command. AS the governor
would not help Mr.. Raisin, Mr.. Ratsn will
not help the governor. All these poiiti-
cians
What an interesting assembly that would
be composed of the bosses and EXPOSES

Think of them, with Mr.. Murphy of New
York, say, in the chair, talking over their
experiences, confessing recent blunders and
overreachings, and planning for the future.

something to the public entertainment and
TO their own mutual advantage. They have
run very bold courses, taken great risks,
accomplished at times some surprising re-
suits, and contributed much to public dis
cussion. An experience meeting, with each
man speaking the spirit, or spirits,
moved him. would be memorable in po-
litical annals.
1t is not Inappropriate to speak of plans
for the future in connection with these
men. They all have such plans, We may
be sure. Once a boss always a boss. A
man bitten by bossism is never cured. He
may be temporarily put out of business,

himself to work henceforth In the ranks, a"

himself after defeat of all ambition the
sooner he is found scheming again to re-
sumo business at the old stand.

instant condemnation OF the world. Final
ly, the work of establishing the new liberal
order becomes so difficult that the czar Is
forced to revert to the former methods OF
coercion drastic repression and barbaric
subverssion of popular rights.
Perhaps this is the only method whereby
Russia can be brought to a reasonable
frame of mind. 1t Is unfair at this stage
to question the good faith of the car in
offering his subjects broad freedom of polit-
ical action. He has pledged himself before
the world and has placed his commission
in the hands OF man who Is today re-
garded far and wide as the strongest man
in the empire, and perhaps the wisest Sc
lection possible for the trying role of pre-
mier under the new regime.
Truth is very large part of the Russian
people is so near the brute stage that
a broad degree OF popular participation in
the government of the empire is at this
stage impossible. There is undoubted basis
for the criticism that the Russians are not
ready for reform. 1t Is true. Of course,
that this Is the fault of the autocracy,
which has denied the mass of the people
any opportunity to fit themselves for civic
duties. But the problems of today are SO
pressing that 1t Is unwise to view the case
historically. Today's needs must be met,

teristically with force and applying the

Gov. Beckham reached his present once

senator He was the candidate for IIeuten-
ant governor on the ticket with the iace
William Goebel, and on the death by VIC
lence of that violent man became governor
Once in Office he set to work with some
skill and great industry to increase the Do-
I.Ical power which his predecessor had be-

that term was strong enough to secure Il
term from the people IN his own name. The
machine he is now manipulating with such
effect, and with which he threatens the po-
litical life of Mr.. Blackburn, has grown
as well out of the beginnings of the Goe5ei
days as out of the progress made during
the Beckham days
Mr.. Blackburns responsibility for the
Beckham machine lies in the fact that but

Keep the Bosses Down.

From the New York Evening Post.
Post-election wisdom Is as abundant as
usual. and most of 1t as little worth pom
dering. The kind that cries aloud In the
streets will be forgotten with a speed
directly proportioned to its shrillness. To
assert, merely, that there has been "a great
revival of civic virtue may please but
does not instruct us. Nor does it greatly
comfort ones soul to be assured that we
now know what the people can do when
they get thoroughly angry. The real puzzle
Is why they don't get angry oftener, and
stay angry longer. If Tuesdays tremendous
political oyerturns were simply cataclysmic,

over them is, to say the least, premature.

flee. He is now confronting what at that
time he helped establish, and trembIes be-
fore the fruits of his labor.
But Mr.. Blackburn, if he loses, will not
be the only or the most distinguished VIC
tim of the Beckham machine. Henry Wat
terson has preceded him to the block. When
the term which Gov. Beckham had inner
tied from the Goebel conspirators was
drawing to a close the question arose as to
the incumbent's eligibility for a term In
his own name. The constitution denies
second term In the governors chair. Things
were in bad way for the democracy, ana
some of the party's leaders suggested M"
Watterson as compromise candidate. Mr.
Watterson would have accepted the noml-
nation in the interests of harmony, but
soon discovered that Gov. Beckham had
turned down his thumb, and he accepted
the decree with characteristic cheeriness,
but yet with a note of sadness.
