l. the Tide Turning In England?

There seems to be no doubt that the
triennial elections of the London borough
councils, which were held on November
,, resulted in an overwhelming victory
for the Moderates or Reformers, as the
opponents Of the present Progressive
municipal administration are called. OF
course, not all Moderates are Unionists,
neither are all Progressives Liberals;
nevertheless, the local organizations
correspond closely to the national
party divisions. simultaneously, the
Liberals were routed in the provincial
municipal elections, the Conservatives
making a net gain Of fifty-nine repre-
sentatives. The Labor party made a
net gain Of nine in the provinces, but in
London were beaten wen more disas-
trously than the Liberals.
To appreciate the extent of the APP
parent revolution in public sentiment,
we should note what u London corre-
spondent pointed out on Sunday, that
three years ago out Of .twenty-eight
London boroughs seventeen returned
Progressive or Liberal ~majorities, while
to-day the Liberals retain only two with
certainty, and at most three. In Lon
don the revulsion seems to have been
provoked partly by the prodigal ex-
penditures authorized by the municipal
government during the last three years,
but in many provincial boroughs the con-
test turned On the question Of religious
education in schools supported by rates
Of local taxes md Parliamentary grants.
Naturally enough, Mr.. BALFoUR, the
leader of the Unionist opposition, speak
ing on Friday evening. attributed the
result of the municipal elections, metro
politan and provincial, to deep and
widespread discomfort with the present
Liberal administration. There Is no
reason TO suppose, indeed, that free
trade is not as popular in town and coun-
try as il WAS a year ago, nor il any pro-
found and far reaching dissatisfaction
likely to have been excited by the Gov
ernment's foreign policy or by its mill
tary and naval programmes, or by any
Of the which IL has brought

From the London DaIU Maj.
THE discovery of radium has gone a long wav
toward solving an important controversy between
mathematicians and biologists" said Sir Robert
Ball.
The controversy referred 10 concerned the tine
required for peopllng the earth. and Il appears
that radlum has come to the relief OF the biologists
and given them the victory. Sir Robert, explain
Ing the controversy. dealt with ngures Of bewildcr-
Ing magnitude.
Lord Kelvin had calculated that not more than
%. 100000 years ago the earth's surface was so hot
that water could not rest upon It., and the oceans
was then known concerning the Internal heat OF
the earth and concerning the condition OF the
cooled rocks OF the earth's crust.
The geologists," said Sir Robert Ball, com
planned that they could not make their discoveries
and deductions accord with that miserable allow
ance of time: but the mathematicians. going over
their calculations again, would not give them a
week longer"
Itseems that biologists wanted modest 800 on. 200
years. and the discrepancy OF $50, 600 900 years was
disconcerting, for II looked as II science was con
tradlcting herself. The biologists knew they must
be about right, and the mathematicIans knew that
figures could not lie.
The Hon. MI. Strut, son OF Lord RayteIgh e
said Sir Robert, has shown that IN the rocks In the
crust OF the earth there Is a considerable quantity
Of radium, which Is forever pouring out heat At a
great rate.
This being the case, the date at which the enrth
nrst became cool enough for NE must have been far
more remote than 20, o 900 years ago. II mus

UNIQUE Plot Against Irish IndnstrialIsm

To THE EDITOR or THB SUN-Sr: In THE SUN
of November : you published a special cable de-
spatch from London saying that an International
exhibition is TO be held in Ireland, opening some
time In May. This project is unique in Irish affairs
because OF the unanlmlty with which all public
bodies in Ireland have condemned II. The reason
is apparent. Ireland can impose no tarlr on for
eign goods. She is making strenuous efforts 10
revive old industries and create new ones. Under
these circumstances and at such a time as this 10
Invite competition In the emphasized shape OF an
International exhibition would be TO commit In
dlstrial suicide.
The Irish manufacturers have resolved 10 hold a
national exhibition In the year 1908, the guarantors
being Irish business men. while the guarantOrs OF
the international exhibition are mostly English,
with the exception OF Lord Iveagh and one or two
others OF his class. The object OF the international
exhibition Is TO kill the Irish Industrial revival.

3. SOCIALISTS
A Multitude Of Explanations ia Mean
Nothing.

To THE EDITOR OF THE sUN-Sir: MIR.
John Conway gives one more demonstration
of a well established fact. namely, that any
statement which really seems to explain what
socialism is aids in dispelling the terrors which
are supposed to attach TO socialism.
l say seems to explain" because. as pointed
out more than twenty years ago in the North
American ReUiep, no two authorities really
agree on what socialism is. No matter what
one Socialist may say in explanation of his
fetish. the next one to him will say, You are
wrong"
Surely Il In worse than midsummer mad
ness to be disQuieted by a nebulous mass Of
disjointed theories and unrelated assertions.

milton Of the whole which will serve as q doc

Mr.. Hnghes's Campaign.

Mr.. HUGHES has borne the strain of
the campaign very well indeed. He has
been abused in "a manner mOstirritating,
his motives have been impugned, his
honesty has been attacked, his acts have
been wilfully misrepresented, and his
words have been misquoted. He would
have been forgiven if he had shown in
his speeches the resentment and disgust
with which the methods of his opponent
must have filled him. This Mr.. HUGHES
has not done.
At the beginning Of the canvass Mr..
HUGHES was under a heavy handicap.
He was ignorant of the arts of election
eering and unused TO political speech
making. His lack Of experience was
manifest during the early days of the
struggle. The rapidity with which the
candidate overcame the obstacles Of in
experience is remarkable.
When Mr.. HUGHES was nominated he
was known only as a lawyer of good
parts and a skilful analyst and a tireless
cross-examiner. The same faculties that
brought fame to him in his professional
career have been exhibited on the stump.
together with other admirable qualities
and qualifications. He sees the whole
question. He thinks straight. He nei-
Their bubbles nor raves. He is con-
vincing without being sensational. His
speeches have been unanswerable. In
deed, his opponent has not tried to answer
them except by calling Mr.. HUGHES an
animated feather duster."
Mr.. HUGHEs's success at the polls to-
morrow will put a good and fit man into
the Office for which Mr.. HEARST is so con-
spicuously unfit.

A Servant of the People.

Mr.. HEARST has been exhibited so often
as n member of Congress who was seldom
in his seat, or in Washington for that
matter, and who neglected every duty
which a Representative is supposed to
perform, that the compilation Of his
omissions by Mr.. FRANK WAKEFIELD,
docket clerk Of the House, would have
excited no comment if Mr.. HEARST had
not been going around the State proclaim
ing that he does not care to be elected
Governor for the honor of the Office, but
would like to be known as the man who
reinstated the people in control of their
government.
Another aspiration of Mr.. HEARST is
to haveit said of him by the people whose
condition he yearns to improve 1--WE quote
from a Madison Square Garden speech:
Il know HEARST is an honest and sincere man;
and whether elected or not he will continue to 10
his best 10 serve the people"
Mr.. HEARST received from MURPHY,
who has always been his patron and
partner in politics, a nomination for
Congress in 1902, which was equivalent
to an election, and a second nomination
in 1904. In the Fifty-ninth Congress he
was a member Of the Committee of irri-
cation Of Arid Lands and of the Com
mittee of Labor, both good assignments,
and the latter an important Mr..
WAKEFIELD says that WILLIAM RAN
DoLPH HEARST has the unique distinc-
ton for a New. York Representative Of
failing to get a bill through either of the
Congresses with which he has been con-
nected; and that in the first session Of
the F~ifty-ninth no bill bearing his name
was reported f~avorably by any commit
tee. So hat Mr.. HEARST has a clear
record of ciphers. Even TIMOTHY ID.
SULLIVAN, who could find nothing 10 do
in Washington, was the author Of three
bills that passed both Houses and were
signed by tae President.
II is obvious that Mr.. HEARST did not
study the needs OF the Eleventh district
or bother his head about them. He was
elected without making n campaign, and
drew his salary without rendering an
equivalent for il or making an honest
attempt to earn the money. AZ the
busiest stage Of the last session this emo
tional friend Of the Common People was
playing golf in California. His desire TO
serve them now AZ Governor Of the State
Of New York may be Judged by his abso-
Lutte failure 10 show any interest in serv-
ing them M n member Of Congress.
There is no reason TO believe that he
would remain at his post in Albany, for
he Stunned his seat in Congress; there n
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1906-11-05

no reason to believethat he would devote
himself to the business Of the Executive
Office when he happened to be at the
State capital, for his occasional visits to
Washington were not marked by absorb
ton in his duties rs a Congressman; and
there is no reason to believe that in the
one place and in the one office more than
in the other he would put the interests Of
the people before his own selfish ends.
WILLIAM r. HEARST was not IAN honest
and sincere man "a a Representative,
and it is not to be expected that he would
reform himself if he were to be elected
Governor.
