1t was quite characteristic of the
Democratic organ, after publishing
without comment about a column
and a half OF matter credited to the
Chicago Tribune. and eulogizing
the record of the Fifty-ninth con-
gress, to produce an editorial the
next day, denouncing the congress as
extravagant and reckless. We won
dered when we read that extract
from the Chicago Tribune, whether
the organ and 10 Blackburn had
amended their opinions at the same
time.

Since MFR. Hartman comedies that
President Roosevelt means all right;
the rest of us can assure him that the
president is proceeding in the right
manner. Perhaps. as Mr.. Hartman
suggests, the president is lacking in
business experience, but he seems to
be in no wise lacking in moral per-
ception. There is only one way to
eradicate evil, and that is to cut it
out root and branch. The legitimate
railroad business will not be injured
by the process. It is unfortunate for
the heads of some great industrial
organizations to consider themselves
immune from the civil and moral
law. Long public and official ac-
quiescence in their practices, while
they have been growing and growing,
have instilled this belief in successive
generations Of captains of industry.
Unfortunately, too, practical men
have been succeeded by spectators
who instead OF intensely developing
their legitimate properties, have been
exploiting the stocks for their own
deferring, Withholding
and granting dividends at their pleas
ure, watering stock and issuing
bonds when 1t served their purposes;
selling the stock at a premium, and
then depreciating it and buying it
back All this has tended to put in,
vestment in some industrial stocks on
"a level with a crap game with loaded
dice. Those are big concerns, but
they are not as big as the United
States of America and it in no wise
increases our sympathy for the man
on the grill to hear him patronizing
our president.

STATE RIGHTS.

President Roosevelt covered a wide
range In his talk to the Harvard stu
dents. He began with athletics,
which he holds in hig esteem, and
ended with state rights, of which he
has not an exalted opinion. His crit
icism of them, or of the use to which
they are occasionally put, may add to
the irritation of those nervous per
sons who think they see symptoms
of deliberate movement in the di-
rection of a centralized government
and the abasement of the states.
There is more or less truth in the
presidents statement that the men
who say that the general movement
cannot, without a violation of state
rights, carry out the proper and adj
|equate supervision of corporations
Mr.. Roosevelt thinks is needed are
unwilling that corporations should
be supervised properly by any agency.
He about hits the mark also when he
says these men are powerless to out
line any plan Of constructive states
imanship which shall give relief. I'm
questionably it is often the case that
the beneficiary Of corporate abuses or
his hired advocate can find no other
argument against national action to
end the abuses than that it would be
unconstitutional because an. infringe
ment on the reserved rights of the
states.
Nevertheless, the states have rights
which the national government is
obliged to respect The president adj
mits they have rights and says "they
should be preserved when they mean
the peoples rights. but not when
they mean the peoples wrongs-not
when they stand for wrong or oppres-
sion of any kind or for national weak
ness or impotence at home or abroad"
This is a statement of the case which
will appeal strongly to many, but it
is to the constitution that one must
turn finally to ascertain what the ma
tional government and the state gov
ernments can or cannot do. If the
Interpreter of that instrument, the
supreme court, shall say that some
abuse, tolerated by. state, is outside
the Jurisdiction of the national gov
eminent it must submit.
The licensing by the national gov
eminent of state, corporations manu-
featuring articles that enter into in
terstate commerce has been proposed.
The object would be to secure the
proper and adequate control Of the
corporations. There are those who
oppose the measure as unconstitu-
tional. Some of its opponents may
mot believe what the ysay, but others
do. Endless argument will not set
tile the controversy. Assertions that
the states lack the power or the in
clination to attend to the matter
properly will not settle It, The only
/ way 10 Sctlit ouCu d quSoIiOh "Ou-u
be to enact a law and see what the
supreme court thought of it from the
purely constitutional poiht Of view.
The men who say tliere is an effort
to strip the states of their rights
need not be alarmed. They will have
the aid of the supreme court in de-
Heating such efforts If they shall be
made. In the past, when the federal
government has attempted to exert
a power that the court did not be-
lieve it had, it has staid the hand Of
the government, no matter how ex-
cellent the motives by which it was
actuated.-Chicago Tribune

COST OF LIVING.

No one need be told that it costs more to live
and support family in the United States today
than ever before in our whole history. Individual
experiment has proven the fact, and it hardly re-
qurcd special bulletin from the department of
commerce and labor at Washington to enforce it.
However, though this bulletin may be largely
a work OF supererogation, its figures interest
ing, nevertheless. The period dealt with is that
from 1890 to 1906, during which 1t appears 1897
distinguished by the lowest prices and the year
but five months past by the highest.
In 1906 the cost of living was So. 5 per cent.
higher on an average than in 1897, but it only
about per cent. higher than in 1890. There was
a steady decrease in the average during the seven
years from 1890 to 1897, while the last named year
marked the beginning of an increase that has been
ceaseless and is still in progress
1t may well be doubted whether any one will
be at all grateful to the department of commerce
and labor for this collation. Of official figures as to
the cost Of living; but millions will join in its
praises If it will point the way to making dollars
enough to meet the constantly mounting cost.

questionaby right and in it he should persist, for
by following that plan he may ultimately compel
the present wabby British cabinet to instruct its
delegates to The Hague to carry out the purpose
of making the armament question subject for
consideration by the conference.
Premier Campbell Bannerman was at one
time pledged to that purpose, but he has since dis
played disposition to change front, probably ow-
ing to the discouraging attitude of Germany There
can be no overestimating the moral effect alli-
ance before the conference between the United
States and Great Britain would have.
With the German delegates abstaining from
the debate decisive result can be looked for, for
with Germany refusing even to consider the re-
duction Of armaments, it would be futile to expect
France, Russia, Italy or Austria to take any step
in that direction.
However, il the German delegates remain
silent, it is not certain the representatives OF the
other powers will do likewise, and there is bright
prospect that the views of several governments
may be placed upon the record, which may serve
guide in the future when the chance for more
practical accomplishment presents itself
1t is not forgotten that at the Hague confer
the project of an international court of arb-
tration discussed in spite of Germanys org-
nal opposition to such plan There exists there
FORE ample precedent to warrant the United States
and Great Britain in pushing the limitation of ar
mament question to the fore at the Hague con-
ference, even in spite of the openly expressed op-
position of the German chancellor.

N. B. |. GODDARD
DIES SUDDENLY
IN HIS CHAIR

The death OF Moses Brown Ives God
dard. member OF the famous firm Of
Brown & Ives. established in the 18th
century. shortly after o'clock yesterday
afternoon, was a shock TO the city and
state, as II was not known that Mr.. God
dard had been i'll. While walking along
Benevolent street less than fortnight
ago he was seized with a spell OF dizzi-
ness and since then had been in the care
OF hts physicians.
He was rs years old, and for the last
few years had not been actively engaged
In business. He had always been a great
traveller. rarely missing spending part
OF each year abroad. While here he di-
vided his time between his city home. at
the corner of Brown and Benevolent
streets. and his country estate at Potowo-
NUT Neck.
Mr.. Goddard leaves a widow but no
children. His living brothers are Mr.. Will
liam Goddard and Col. Robert H. I. God
dard. His sister. Mrs. Thomas z. Shep-
ard lives on Prospect street.
Moses e. Goddard was born In Provi-
dence. April q. 1881. He was the son Of
the late Prof. William Giles Goddard. for
many years a distinguished professor In
Ives. His father died I'm 1916. From 1850 TO
1853 he was a student at Brown, taking
the scientific course. He recently showed
his interest In the college by presenting
TO 1t the bronze statue of Caesar Angus
tus, which he admired abroad and
brought home TO adorn the campus. II
stands in front of Rhode Island hall,
where 1t was formally dedicated last year.
He was the president Of the Providence
WorraGtar Rai
urer of the Butler hospital and a patron
OF music. He journeyed to Bayreuth re-
peatedly and planned his continental trips
so as best TO enjoy grand opera. Locally
he was interested in the Arion concerts.
and when the Boston Symphony orches-
ira left Providence off its list OF visited
cities several years ago he was one Of
those who joined President Faunce In
obtaining a guarantee fund with which
to secure concerts for this city.
He was a member OF the Hope club and
OF the Rhode Island Historical society and
a liberal contributor to local charitable.
educational and benevolent institutions.
He married Miss Jane Swan. who sur
wives him. Two brothers died before him.
Francis Waylsnd and Thomas r. Ives.
who died in 1870 and 1893 respectively.
Mr.. Goddards keenest pleasures were
found In his home. In travel and in music
Few Rhode Islanders have crossed the
Atlantic as often as he. Two trips i'm =
year were not unusual for him. One Of
his souvenirs was silver caddy, on
which he had engraved the dates of his
crossings with the names OF the steam
ers. To a friend he once remarked: II
love to travel. but ] love to get back to
Rhode Island.
President William III. p. Faunce OF
Brown university paid a high tribute to
Mr.. Goddard as friend of the univer-
sity, saying:
Although Mr.. Goddard had no official
connection with the university, he was a
most loyal friend and neighbor."

HOME RULE.

Dubious, indeed, seem the chances of the Irish
council BILL the preliminary home rule measure
which the Campbell Bannerman ministry has
brought forward, since the Irish clergy reported
to be almost unit against it.
If that is true there is absolutely no hope that
it will receive the endorsement of the Dublin
venton. for nearly every parish priest in Ireland
will be member of that convention.
Cardinal Logue, Archbishop Walsh and the
bishops of Limerick and Kildare are. according to
latest accounts, unalterably opposed to the BILL and
reputation appears to be the fate in store for it at
the great gathering of Nationasts.
What will happen when the bill has been re-
jected at Dublin? The probable course of the gov
ernment will be to withdraw it, for it would be
futile to attempt to jam through parliament a
measure to which Ireland is opposed SO will end,
for the present hope OF justice for Ireland. But a
better and brighter time is not far off
Real home rule may be delayed but its ult-
mate establishment is certain the day is to fol-
low the night

ROUNDHOUSE AND SEVEN
LOCOMOTIVES BURNED

Woodside. n. H.. May l5.-The Boston
and Maine repair shop and the roadhouse
containing seven locomotives were burn
ed here today. causing a loss estimated
by the division superintendent OF the road
at $4,000.
The cause of the fire Is unknown, but
1t originated In the repair shop. probably
In a pile OF oily waste. The repair shop
was quickly destroyed and the flames
spread to the roundhouse. destroying II

house burn the railroad employees had no
opportunity to get out the seven locomo-
tives housed in the structure. Five of the
locomotives belonged to the Boston and
Maine railroad and two to the MontpelieS

Hard work on the part of the fire fight
