King Edward.

The strenuous life Is not confined to
Washington and Berlin. Elsewhere may be

Edward was in Paris yesterday and saw
the President of France. Subsequently he
had an interview with Premier Clemenceau.
He has recently met King Alfonso and King
Victor Emmanuel and talked business with
them. This is getting around at a good
gait. The Englishman, before he assembled
the throne, was regarded as only man of
pleasure. and not given to energy even in
pursuit of entertainment. But since as

In other words, why not a business
rather than a partisan administration Of
our municipalities?
Mr.. Timanus, the mayor of Baltimore,
a republican. succeeded to the office upon
the death of Mayor McLane, democrat.
He did not change his political affiliations
at all, but he did not permit them to
color the conduct of his Office. He took
a broad view of his opportunities and OBJ
legations, and put the general welfare
above all other considerations. His ad-
ministration has been a pronounced sue
cess from every point of view, and he Is
a candidate to succeed himself. What
say the voters of the town?
He is opposed as a republican. He Is
republican and the nominee Of his party.
But what, for Independent voters has that
got to do with the case? He was a repub-
lican when he assumed the duties Of the
mayoralty, having been elected as a party
man to the Office which had put him In
line for the succession. But his party has
not used him for party purposes. He has
kept the city's interests always foremost;
and Is 1t anything but fair to assume that
If elected next Tuesday he will continue
the same policy? Has he not shown the
stun of which a good mayor is made, and
is he not emitted 10 endorsement on Ills
record?
If he is defeated what instruction. what
warning, will the result carry. to his sue
cessful opponent? To return to partisan
politics? To keep the party, rather than
the city, in view? or at least season mat
ters as strongly with partisanship as
possible?
Personally, both candidates stand very
high in the community, and each is
good party man in party matters. But If a
successful and business-like administration
of the city's affairs is the paramount con-
slderaton, the choice Is between a per-
Torrance and promise. Mr. Timanus in
office has made good, and that is assurance
that If Endorsed at the polls he will make
good again. His party, which has sup
ported his record, will support him in his
effort to continue it. Mr.. Mahool, with
his excellent character and the best inten-
lions. would be an experiment; and, elected
as partisan, might, under pressure, prove
one, and no more, in office.

The Battle at ALBANY.

The defeat of Gov. Hughes in the New
York senate yesterday by combination
of machine politicians of both parties may
lead to some far-reaching consequences.
Lines are drawn which are very plain to
the public, and they should mark the future
engagements between the two contestants.
In asking for the removal of the super
intendent of insurance. Gov. Hughes obeyed
the meaning of his election to office. The
people at the polls had demanded reform.
not alone in the stOppage of fragrant
abuses, but In the matter of the execution
of all laws by state officials. They ex-
pressed desire not only for honest, but
for thoroughly competent and aggressive,
men in the responsible state places. Be-
lievlng that Superintendent Kelsey was
lacking in force, the governor marked him
for removal. and recommended action in a
message pitched in the key of last years
republican campaign promises.
This developed the machine men on both
sides. Republicans of the Raines stamp
Joined hands with democrats of the Grady
and McCarren stamp to block the way
They thought they saw danger to the old
order of things all along the line Putting

sisted by corporation influences all over the
state, 1t triumphed yesterday and saved
Mr.. Kelsey's bacon
Now for the future What will Gov
Hughes do? As he Is both an earnest and
an honest man he is not to be expected to
yield his general program to the opposi-
tion One defeat does not make a rout any

here again Is the contest between those
great corporations, which want to run
things in their own lines and for their own
account. and the public. whose interests
are largely at stake. Last fall. at the polls,
the people carried the day, and last winter
Gov. Hughes entered upon his duties at
Albany. Now, In this Kelsey matter the
corporations have carried the day Next
year approaches. and all of this will enter
into the national campaign. What say the
people of New York? Are they still with
the man whom they chose last November
for leader upon a distinct platform which
he is today endeavoring to carry out?

Baltimore's Mayoralty Contest.

The voters OF Baltimore next Tuesday
will pass upon as important municipal
question as has been presented in this
country in a long time. BY their deci-
sion that day they will forward or re-
tard a proposition to which many men
all over the land look for relief from
some of the gravest of the ills which
affect municipal government
II is the general belief that city rule
in the United States is shaped too much
on the lines and through the selfish
agencies OF partisan politics. The COM
plant Is heard In all quarters. What is
needed. 1t is stated, is city rule based
upon the city's interests, appraised ac-
cording to business principles and re-
auirements. Why give up to party what

benefit OF. all within the city's borders?

The Value of Railroad Properties.

Why not an official valuation of all rail-
road properties? Does it not properly and
logically follow government regulation of
railroad rates? That the railroads are
entitled to a fair return on their invest
ments is indisputable They are not in
business through motives of philanthropy
or for their health, but to perform a public
service which is indispensable and VAL
liable. Like other laborers, they are
worthy of their hire, and the figure should
be liberal and living one.
But as the public supports the railroads
and has undertaken to regulate their
charges it is entitled to know all about
them. 1t should not be required to pay
on and for something that does not and
cannot exist. 1t should not be forced to
carry railroad water on either shoulder.
That 1t has been carrying good deal of
II for many years and Is now doing so adj
mits of no doubt. Some recent develop
ments In that line have been rather start
ling. The Chicago and Alton transaction
alone is Illuminating to degree that al
most takes the breath away. All the bust
ness of that kind that has taken place
should be exposed.
The public is able and willing to pay
for all legitimate services rendered by
legitimate corporations operating on legiti-
mate bases. Our transportation figures
are enormous. There is no more inviting
field for investments; and it Is being titled
by experts. The managers of our rail-
roads are among the best business men of
whom the country boasts. All they re-
quire for success Is a fair chance; and
that is what they would enjoy with every
drop of water squeezed out of railroad
properties.
1t Is a mistake to assume, as some are
doing that all the leading railroad men
are opposed to ascertainment and
authorized statement of the real value of
the eountry's railroads Some favor the
policy, and are themselves ready for
showdown. Why should the others be
permitted to dictate matters? 1t cannot be
true that the evil OF DISQUALIFICATION has
gone so far that the publication OF the
exact situation would throw the financial
world out of plumb Men of the Hartman
stripe have probably been as busy as op-
portunities allowed. but can hardly have
gone that far. Whatever exists of that
character. however, should be laid bare,
and those responsible for it brought to book
Having entered upon government sregula-
ton, We must go to the bottom of the
railroad problem II We are to achieve any
widespread and lasting benefits. Men like
Mr.. Bryan want to see the policy fail. in
the hope that failure Will usher in govern
ment ownership; and II will fail unless it is
thoroughly developed and administered.

The Senate's Minority leadership

Some of the southern newspapers are not
pleased with the suggestion of Mr.. Over
man of North Carolina for minority leader
in the Senate. Their disapproval seems to
rest on the report that the suggestion came
originally from the President. They shake
their heads and wonder why. What ex-
plains the Presidents interest? And how
came it to pass that he fixed upon the
North Carolina senator? They fear a re-
publican bearing a democratic leader, and
a democrat willing to be "toted" by a re-
publican, even the President.
Let us not be hasty. The President, IL he
spoke at all, may not have gone beyond
a personal compliment. He may only have
said, speaking from personal observation of
an alert and agreeable man. that Mr.. Over
man as leader would probably give a good
account of himself.
Discussion of the subject has been fire.
quent here ever since Mr.. German died.
Mr.. Blackburn was only a stop-gap, and
now that he is out of the Senate a real
leader for definite business on the eve Of
presidential election must be chosen.
Mr.. Overman's democracy needs. Of course,
no explanation or defense. 1t Is deeply
tarred with the Tar-Heel stick. and Is rec
ognized in all sections Of the Old North
state. He should not suffer in a partisan
sense by reason of being a welcome visitor
at the White House. 1t is his duty to be
on good terms there. Business often takes
him there. and when he goes he wants to
be successful with his errands. Politics in
Washington Is not as fierce as at Podunk
when campaign is in progress. 81
Agreeable and alert Mr.. Overman is, and
good looking in the bargain. Popular he
also is, and on both sides Of the Senate
chamber. But minority leader to- be
successful must possess larger equipment
than that. He should be thorough par
Humanitarian tactician of a high order,
a clever and a ready debater, and an ex-
cellent judge of men. He should know the
qualities and possibilities of every man
under him. and be able to command his
whole force at a moments notice. He must
also have decision, and always know what
Is going on in his own, and, il possible,
in the other fellows, camp.
Mr.. Germans service set the pegs pretty
high. He had spent so much time in poll
tics, and knew the Senate so thoroughly,
he met the matter Of his party's RESPONSE
bility there with unusual success. He was
at home, and familiar with the way around.
Caucuses, conferences, feints, and both
frontal and flank attacks, were In his line.
He grew to be an expert, and able to read
with ease a parliamentary situation by
the back. His party will be fortunate next
winter II its choice falls upon a man whose
talents for that kind of business even ap-
proximate those of the lost leader.
