fN modern Tudor house. in San
Jose. lives a cousin OF James Me
Neil Whistler. Don Palmer is his
name. His mother, Kate Mcneil
and the mother of Whistler, Amam
Mcneil, were sisters. Mr.. Palmer is a
courteous person, with no trace OF his
cousins eccentricity or self-conceit. In
his daughter, Miss Lillian Palmer. how
ever, the family genius has cropped
out. Miss Palmer is worker IN
metals whose artistic productions are
creating quite furor. She has also
done some creditable literary work.
Whistler was older by some years
than his California cousin, but they
spent many years together in the ole
Conn. Whistier's mother died when
ne was very young. and the boy was
brought UP in the family OF his uncle,
Mr. Palmer, the father Of Dan.
The fine old house where whistler

IN itself interesting, having existed
since Revolutionary days. In the war

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.

Believers in the theory Of municipal
ownership will not regard the result
Of the Chicago election as a complete
victory. The propositions to issue
street railway certificates to the
amount of $4,000, 900, the money to be
used in the purchase Of the traction
lines. and for the city to proceed with
out delay to secure the ownership of
the street railways instead of grant
ing franchises to private corporations
were both carried. The disappoint-
ment came in the failure of the propo-
sition. for the city to proceed to oper-
ate the street railways. A majority
was cast in favor of the affirmative
side of this question, but the ordinan-
ces requires a larger majority than was
given for it.
The result needs some explaining
Briefly, the voters have declared that
the city can proceed to acquire and
control the street railroads, but cannot
operate them, though as a question of
public policy, a majority of the voters
themselves say it would be desirab BILE
for the city to operate the roads The
effect will be the issuance of the GER
tificaJes for the purchase of the lines
and their requirement by the city
Then the city in due course will lease
the roads to private individuals who
Will ran them and pay the municipality
handsome share of the proceeds. This
is not quite municipal ownership in the
common acceptation, but it comes very
close TO the real thing.
The city cannot just now. through
the mayor and council, appoint a gen
era1 superintendent of street railways,
with. such assistants as he may need.
But that will surely come later Mayor
Dunno is quoted as expressing disap-
pointment over the outcome. but ne
can hardly fail TO find satisfaction in
the affirmative vote on the issuance of
the certificates. That is a long stride
in the direction of real municipal own

troll them in the interests Of the peo-

assuming that they must be leased, do
not give satisfactory service their
leases can be cancelled at any time.
Eventually the roads will be oper-
ated by the city. Of that there can be
little question. At the next municipal
election, perhaps. the question will
again be submitted to the people. and
it is not at all improbable that by the
time the roads have actually been &C
quired by the city, the voters of Chi
cago will direct the city to operate
them.

aid Of Democratic votes. and could not
possibly pass the senate without sup
port from the minority. There the in
cident closed for the day.
To outsiders the affair is significant
only as confirming the conviction that
the president is assuming much more
than the rightful prerogatives of his
Office. Not satisfied with his execu-
tive duties he has taken upon himself
the function of chief legislator for the
nation, so far with the result that all
his pet measures have been defeated,
his own party leaders alienated. his
prestige impaired. IF he muddles the
railroad rate question much more it is
likely it will share the fate of the
Santo Domingo treaty, the Philippine
tariff bill and the joint statehood bill
All of these suffered from presidential
interference and all stand to his &C
count as dismal failures achieved by
persistent meddling with distinct
branch of the government. Indeed, the
presidents record so far during this
session of congress is an unparalleled
example of what a president can earn
in the way of defeat if he insists on
ignoring or attempting to dictate to
congress.

ANOTHER PEACE CONFERENCE.

Some surprise is expressed because
the representative of the Russian gov
eminent at Washington has presented
to Secretary of State Root a proposal
for a second peace conference to be
held at The Hague during the com
ing summer. A similar proposal, it is
understood, has been or will be pre-
scented to the other important nations
Of the earth. Perhaps they, too, will
be surprised Still there is not any
good reason why they should be sur
prised. If any ruler in the world is
qualified to discuss the disadvantages
Of war as compared with the blessings
of peace, that ruler is the car
Since the last peace conference was
held at The Hague Russia has been
through the most desperate war of
modern times. In three or four diff
ferent battles of the Russo-Japanese
war more men were killed and wound
ed than were engaged in some of the
historic battles of our own civil war
And Russia came out of the conflict
broken financially and facing a rev
olution that still threatens at home
Few nations have suffered more from
war than did Russia in her deadly en-
counter with Japan.
Why shouldn't the car desire uni
versaI peace? He cannot afford any
thing else. World peace is what he
wants. too, for a war between almost
any nations that could be named
might involve Russia to a greater or
less degree. The only theory on which
there may be surprise at the action
Of the car in calling another peace
conference may be based on the cars
last conference to have the effect de-
sired.
Instead of peace there has been war;
instead of universal disarmament the
nations of the earth have been busiIy
engaged in building more battleships,
in strengthening their land defenses, in
recruiting their armies to maximum
strength. They are all vying with one
another TO see which shall have the
biggest stick and they are treading
none too softly. 1t is hard to believe
that the coming conference, for one
will surely be held, will be more eff
fective than the other
Even with the example of the Rus
sO-Japanese war before them, or per-
haps because of that example, the ma
tons will continue, in these piping
times of peace. to prepare for war

would rejoice if war were made i'm
possible, but that happy condition
seems too good to be true

EXECUTIVE INTERFERENCE.

Those senators who object to hav-
ing the president arrange matters Of
legislation do not seem to grasp the
situation in Washington as well as
might be expected. It is true the con-
stitution provides for the separation
of the executive from the legislative
branch Of the government, and most
presidents have regarded scrupuIous-
~ the inhibition. But things have
changed with the advent Of Roosevelt.
The constitution was all very well
in it's day, and may be invoked now
occasionally when it suits the admin
istration; but, generally speaking, the
president Is running this government
himself in all its departments and the
senate is TO be consulted only as il
suits the presidential mood
In the particular case brought be
fore the senate, the railroad rate bill
amendment for a judicial review, the
president called several Republican
senators to the White House to let
them know what would suit him and
what would not As reported by the
newspapers and confirmed by those in
attendance, the Long amendment was
considered in the conference and re-
ceived the presidents approval. When
IL was introduced, a number of sena-
tors on both sides of the senate asked
for direct information about the con-
ference. None was more bitterly sar-
castle than Senator Aldrich, once the
leader of the Republicans. Senator
Bailey for the Democrats suggested
that=DemocFats might properly have
been consulted since the bill was re-
ported from the committee only by the
