SOUND JUDGMENT.

General Tracy, member of the international
committee. shows a clear conception of duty and
excellent common sense in conSentng to serve
as a member of the board of trustees OF the
Mutual Life Insurance Company, to which he
was elected by administration" votes. What
ever may he thought of the methods pursued by
the international committee ia the extraordinary
campaign which ended in its overwhelming de-
feat, General Tracy has no difficulty in perceiV-
ing the obligation which that result imposed.
He compactly states the truth as TO the situa-
ton as follows:
regard the contest in which the international
committee was engaged ended. They en-
tered upon the campaign for the purpose of
contesting this election. That battle Is fought
and ended. No right thinking man can wish
for a renewal of the contest unless the occasion
and the justification for that renewal be found
in the future conduct of the present board.
The managers of the company are clearly en-
titled, after a long period of conflict 10 an I'M
hampered opportunity Of administering its af-
fairs and promoting its welfare to the best of
their ability; and the policyhoders, as the chief
parties in interest, have a right TO demand that
those in whom they have signitied their full con-
fidence by an immense majority shall be per
mitted to conduct the business Of the company
without further vexatiOus Interruptions, so long
as no just cause for complaint appears.

PROGRESS OF GOOD ROAD MAKING.

Sir: As highway legislation. all that is neces-
sary IS make adequate appropriations whereby
good roads may make progress under the natural
operations of the Higbie-Armstrong act and
whether county maps or are not adopted
makes little difference. these roads Will be buile
hereunder Just the same without legislative ap-
proval The rest depends on proper administration
by the state authorities and moro by local authorl
ties and such county and town action as shall make
the whole effective
The localities should be made to realize this ana

4 FTLTON WATER GATE.

Among the bills coming up to-day for public
hearing before Mayor Mcclellan is the measure
providing for the transformation of the water
front between 114th and 11Gth streets into a
memorial water gate which shall stand as a
useful and fitting monument TO the memory of
Robert Fulton, the father OF steam navigation,
whose first steamer. the Clermont. built In New
York, made the first steam voyage up the
Hudson to Albany in 1907. 1t is to be hoped
that enough interest will be shown In this pro
posed Improvement to convince the Mayor Of
the merits of Senator Pages bill. The water
gate which the Robert Fulton Monument AS
SOclation desires to have erected combines in q
rare way a personal memorial with a much
needed public utility.
1t IS only fit, during the year which marks
the hundredth anniversary of the Clermont's
maiden trip that the home of Fulton's epoch
making invention should honor the inventor in
a fashion worthy Of his achievement and of
the metropolis itself. The proposed water gate
would accomplish this double task. A great
public landing basin for the accommodation of
visitors brought hither by the mighty modern
descendants of the Clermont would be en-
Inenty appropriate. Furthermore, under wise
supervision the basin and gate could be made
extremely beautiful at relatively slight cost.
The architectural possibilities OF q waterfront
are far greater than those of the usual public
square, in which a million dollar monument may
all too easily be made TO look like municipal
soda fountain.
New York, the second greatest city and al
most the greatest port In the world has no fine
landing place. The best access to Manhattan Is
still afforded by the Ellis Island ferry but only
potential great men patronize that line the
steerase being somewhat unpopular among the
successful classes of society. We properly take
pains to give the immigrant good first I'm
preston Of our city; but we ought to show
some solicitude for the exalted foreigner who
comes here not to make living. but-welI.
perhaps, to write a book about us New York
without a water gate is like Fifth avenue
house without front door.

THE IRISH AND THE IRISH BILL

The doubt expressed at its introduction as to
whether Mr.. Birrells Irish bill would be accept
able TO the Nationalists of ireland is now COM
pletely dispelled. It Is made known in the most
authoritative manner that the bill is decidedly
unacceptable, that 1t is regarded by representa-
tive Irishmen IAN insult TO Ireland" and
that if it should be further pressed at West
minister the Irish parliamentary body. acting
under instructions from their Nationalist con-
vention, would unanimously and vigorously op-
pose IT. We do not suppose it viii be pressed.
Logically IL should not be. Ostensibly and pro-
fessedly meant TO give Ireland government
with which the Irish people would be in closer
sympathy than they are with the present its
own terms would prescribe its abandonment now
that IL is seen that the Irish attitude toward it
Is not one OF sympathy but OF pronounced and
aggressive antpathy.
1t is pity for all who are concerned. 1t is
a pity for ireland, because, as we said a fort
night ago, the enactment and application Of the
bill might have been productive OF some real
good 10 that country. We understand that it
has been rejected not because il would do no
good, but because II would not do enough good
because, In brief, IL would not give the entire
Home Rule which the Irish leaders demand
That policy does not commend itself TO good
Judgment. Half loaf is better than no bread
at all. Mr.. Parriell did not reject partial meas
toward the end which he hoped at last to gain
For the sake of Ireland, then, we must regret
the decision of the convention, and from the
point Of view of the Nationalist politicians we
must doubt its wisdom.
For the sake of the British government too.
the rejection Of the bill by the Irish is to be
deplored. There is no doubt that the govern
ment drew up the bill with a sincere desire TO
benefit the people of Ireland and to take a ma
terai step toward the solution of the Irish
problem In doing so, however, il was consid-
erably hampered by its ante-election undertak-
ings. Mr.. RAdmonds resolutions on the bill,
which the convention unanimously adopted. do
the British government great injustice with their
intimation that II is pledged to Home Rule -
So far as 1T is committed at all on the subject
ii is committed by the express .snte-election
avowals and pledges Of some of It's foremost
members not to revive the Home Rule project
Mr.. Brrells bill went as far toward Home Rule
ii was possible TO go without actually repudi-
ating those pledges. 1t is disappointing thing
the government thus to have its voluntary and
gratuitous overtures to Ireland summarily and
contemptuously rejected. But its majority
In the House of Commons is strong that ii
can dispense with the support of the Irish vote
end pursue its OVID policy regardless Of the
wishes of the Irish parliamentary party.
We must regret also. the manner In which

Kansas City is worried over its seal. There

the city since 1888, simply won't do. 1t is un-
