SENATE AND RATE ISSUE.

There seems to be a disposition in some quar-
ters TO view with admiration and gratitude the
efforts of the Senate 10 draw and pass rAll-
road rate bill. We are told that in variety pro
fundty. erudtion and subtety the debate now
running recalls the Senates halcyon DAYS as
forum Of Oratorical distinction and mdlluieu
reason. Certainly if deliberatiOn is an ehd, not
means. the Senates wrestle with the rate
regulation problem must be classed as a per-
formance of supereminent quality. The debate
has been full of pyrotechnics, OF dazzling PGal
crossfire OF illumination and counter illumiha-
ton In themselves these fOrensics may nave
an undoubted value. But TO what have the!
led? Have they brought order ont Of chaos OF
unanimity out Of dscOrd? Apparently not Tor
the Senate seems TO be Of as many minds
about rate regulation to-day as II was wheh

ruary. 1905.
Suppose the stockholders in corporation had
authorized its board Of directors TO carry into
effect certain general pOlicy-the main object
Of which was plain, though the details We're
still TO be elabOrated-and that this is what

In such case this would the stOckhOld-

TIN nETHODISTS.

Tho simultaneous meetings of the three great
retronolitan annual conferences of tho Meth

siderable local interest. and something more.
They will determine the filling of various local

various local departments OF Church work.

CLOSE THE SHAM HOTELS.

The emergency message OF Governor Higgins
brings the people OF this city a step nearer the
long desired and long denied abolition Of the
Raines law dives For some years attempts
have been made 10 force the keepers OF these
resorts 10 conform 10 the local building law
II is preposterous that the payment Of state
tax for the privilege OF carrying on business
lawfully should be construed into a license for
carrying II on unlawfully.
The building and fire codes prescribe certain
requirements for premises used for hotel pur-
poses. There can be no question that these re-
Qulrements should be enforced and that no per
son should be- permitted 10 maintain a hotel In
G building WhicA does aot conform 10 them II
Is equally obvious thar the hotel license is
meant only for those who keep hotels. Other
liquor dealers are expected 10 sell in obedience
% other rules. To allow a man 10 sell at all
hours simply because he wants 10. on the
strength OF calling place hotel which is not
o hotel and which the authorities would not for
a minute allow 10 be actually used as a hotel is
ridiculous. Yet for years this has been done
On the theory that the hotel OF the LIQUOR law
was not necessarily the hotel OF the building
code Last year an act was passed 70 establish
this identity with respect 10 places already
licensed, but IL was declared unconstitutional
because Of its retroactive character In DESTROYING
privilege which the state had already granted
-NcN MI 'leiiuoe Is pushing Dill providing
that hotel Licenses shall be granted only after
the premises have been inspected and found to
conform 10 all the requirements Of the building
law. As the new licenses are issued on May
!. the passage OF this bill would cut OF renewals
for the tumble-down dives and for saloons with
few upper rooms not really meant for the
accommodation OF guests. The great majority
Of dram shops would be forced TO restrict their
selling TO the hours allowed for dram shops and
would give up the pretence OF keeping rooms
from which they secure a return only by making
them the resort OF ths vicious
Governor Higgins has taken steps % expedite
the passage OF this BILL and It is 10 be hoped
that Il Will speedily be pushed through and put

THE WAR AGAINST SMUT SMOKE.

1t is encouraging to learn that concerted OFF,
cial and unofficial action is about to be taken
against violatOrs of the anti-smoke law, ana
especially against some of the chief viOators
who need most attention. Violations OF law
by small concerns are not difficult to stop. A
warning is usually sufficient But there are
some big concerns. each of which makes more
smoke and cinders than score OF the small
ones. which go on defiantly year after year
with their conscious deliberate and !nsOlent
breaches of law and decency. Vigorous and
effective action against one of them would have
most salutary effect.
We have spoken of the concerted action which
is TO be taken by the Board of Health and the
Anti-SmOke League. 1t is we'll to have the two
forces cooperate But the Health Commissioner
seems to have expressed himself unfortunately
or 10 have been unfortunately misquOted In
some current prints. We find attributed TO him
the statement that he is and has ever been
ready TO lend what assistance he could to the
Anti-Smoke League to any organiZa ton tax
ing up the battle for the health of the resi-
dents Of the city. 1t Is surely obvious TO DR..
Darlington that he should not wait for citizens
organizations, at private expense, 10 take up
the battle but that his own official department
should be the leader 1t is not for the munich
pal government to lend assistance" to private
efforts, but rather for it TO initiate the efforts
and to receive assistance from private citizens
and their organizations.
The Health Department certainly has ample
power under existing laws TO abate any and
every nuisance that is detrimental to the health
OF the city, and the municipal government has
power to suppress the smoke nuisance on other
grounds well as that of health. 1t is to
be assumed that DIR. Darlington has entered
upon the campaign against smut smoke In
earnest. He may be assured that if he has
he will be supported and commended by the
public as strongly as he would be criticised
and condemned if he should neglect his mani
fest duty
