Personal VENGEANCE.

Another man falls victim to the per-
sonal law of vengeance. Mr.. Carmack
was given to invective and ventured. In the
face of warnings and threats, to continue
his jibeS and satires. It is stated that
he did not believe his opponent would
shoot. yet he went armed. and when killed
he was firing in defense of his life The
spectacle is discouraging. It indicts our
western civilization and reveals the cru
dity of our ideals and concepts of honor.
There is small consolation in the reflection
that these encounters. varying only in the
matter of formality from the ancient
duello occur chiefly in the southern sec
lion. Elsewhere men STAY just as readily.
with just as little provocation and ex-
cuse The disregard for human life is
not bounded by state lines or by the
vague limits of sections. The trouble
is that the individual, when aggrieved,
sets himself up as superior to law.
lie fails in the vital test of society.
The right to bear arms has been abused
until 1t has become national menace. and
there is no more urgent need today than
that OF the prevention of the traffic in
murderous weapons The schools should
be utilized as a means of enlightenment
and through them the children taught
that life is sacred and that law is SUI
preme.

to know, and SO does the country. All
suggestions on the subject from those
who have pondered the subject have their
enactments. Mr.. Gompers and his sup
porters, It is to be supposed. stand pat.
That Is to say. regardless OF the cleo
ton returns, they are still in favor OF
the black list and the secondary boy
Gotta policy which it is useless to urge
either on the President or the sixty-first
Congress.
This dinner suggests the idea that Mr..
Roosevelt in his coming message to Con-
gress-his last of the regular order-will
recommend a measure OF measures In
labor's further behalf. There will be little
time for any business other than routine
of an important character. The appro-
priation bills must go through. and they
have the right of way. So that, beyond
a mere expression of the Presidents de-
sires, the message may not count. The
whole matter might well be left to Judge
Taft, who will soon take Office, not only
well inclined toward labor, but with the
confidence of large portion of labor. He
has invited suggestions from labor
sources. and is likely to be influenced by
the opinions of those who take, as he
does, a broad and liberal view of the
whole question. And, later, regardless of
what may come of the White House con-
ference, we shall see the new President
impress himself upon this whole problem
of what the country owes to labor and
labor owes to the country.

Mr.. Roots Future.

Elihu Root has every reason to feel
comfortable these days. Many compli-
mentary things are being said about him.
and all are true. He shares indeed.
with Judge Taft and Gov. Hughes the
praise that is being bestowed on dis
tinguished service in high place. What
ever he has set his hand to since he con-
scented to take national Office shows the
good fruit of his labors He exhibited his
quality first in the War Department; and
in the State Department only success has
attended him.
There are friends Of Mr.. Root who wish
to see him remain where he is. He is so
much at home there, and enjoys in the
office SO greatly the respect OF the outside
world. his continued hold on the helm
would rebound to the benefit Of our for
eign affairs. In Central and South Amer
lea particularly he has made an impress
sion which would count strongly in the
immediate future in our efforts to draw
those countries nearer to us, commercially
and otherwise. Their leaders have met
him. and they like him-have faith in him.
And in Europe also his reputation is high
But these same men agree that Mr.. Root
would serve admirably in the Senate. His
knowledge of the law, and his debating
power ripened by long practice at the
bar, would show to advantage in that
arena. New York seems anxious to
strengthen herself in the Senate, where
for some years her position has been
mediocre and mortifying. Mr.. Root as
senator would recall her best days in that
body. His voice might not be equal to
much speaking, but as a counselor and
committeeman, and an authority on all
the larger questions Of state, he would be
very valuable to his party and to the coun-
try. And he would never lack for a full
house when he had given notice of an
address.
Still again, what man would more
adorn, or more thoroughly meet the prac-
teal requirements Of a leading diplomatic
post? The post at London has many at
fractions for Americans of high iptellec-
tual powers. Men Of letters like Motley
and Lowell. accomplished lawyers like
Phelps and Choate, a politician of dignity
like Mr.. Bayard, and leading Journal
list like Mr.. Reid. alike fit the place Mr..
Reid, who Is now on deck, Is filing the
Office as well as 1t ever has been filled,
and that is saying a good deal. For in
the past half century some notable work
by notable men has, been performed there.
Mr.. Root. as one Of the leaders of the
American bar. would be great toast in
English legal. and official, and social
circles. Mr.. Phelps and Mr.. Choate had
the time of their lives while representing
the country in London. and Mr.. Root, who
is OF the same grade in the legal world,
would probably make the same rounds of
favor. and enjoy similar attentions So
that If Whitelaw Reid should be trans
ferred to the State Department, and Mr..
Root as change sent to London, the
latter's talents would still find room for
very pleasant and important employment
Still again. there is the Supreme bench,
for which. although It is said Mr.. Root
has no desire, he has every equipment. 1t
is seldom one mans name is mentioned
for SO many places of the highest honor.

State Boundaries and Insanity.

himself, was undoubtedly insane. About
five years ago, while a resident of Cam
bridge Mass. in At of anger he shot
a student who, he claimed. had been

committed to the asylum at Worcester.
After about a year he escaped by crawl

case, says:
In Massachusetts, he had thrice tried
to take human life for fancied wrongs.

asylum at Worcester and escaped to this

extraditable charge gave him freedom

true. 1t is hardly to be conceived that
insanity should not be extraditable as

The Board Of Trade.

In his annual report as president of the
Board of Trade, read last night at the
meeting of that body, Mr. Cuno II. Ru-
dolph forcbly expressed the public spirit
which animates the citizens Of Wash
ington. His summary of the work of the
committees of the Board of Trade during
the past year emphasizes the wide scope
of the work which this organization has
undertaken.
In all that pertains to the safety. the
comfort and the prosperity of Washing
tonfans the Board of Trade has been an
active participant. 1t stands for organ
ization. for the conservation of commu-
nifty energy. AT last nights meeting evil
dence was given not only of efforts al
ready expended and results already scored,
but of a disposition to work diligently in
the future TO accomplish further in the
line of the Districts advancement.
The board stands stanchly in favor OF
a separation of the appropriations for cur
rent maintenance and permanent improve
ments and an equitable arrangement of
the Districts indebtedness. Its program
includes such items as the rescue of the
Mall-avenue triangle from its deplorable
condition; the installation of high pres
sure fire service; the substitution of
steel suspension bridge for the antiquated
Aaueduct bridge; the improvement of the
Anacostia flats and the deepening of the
channel: the enlargement of the police
force, with an equipment suitable for the
transaction of the business of this i'm
portant department.; better public bath
ing facilities and recreation pier on the
river front, together with an extension of
the municipal playground system; more
adequate accommodations for prisoners
and the establishment of a penitentiary: a
change in the inaugural date and the erec-
tion of great convention hall to accom-
modate the many visitors to the capital
This is but a partial and meager list
of the objects toward which the Board
of Trade, through its committees and in
dividual members. is pledged to work.
and If in the future 1t succeeds as well
as in the past it will prove a most i'm
portant factor in securing from Congress
the necessary legislation for the solution
of these various problems and the pro-
vision of the Districts necessities. Herein
lies the true function of the Board Of
Trade, working for the betterment of con-
ditions and the preservation of the Dis
trict's rights. The community is to be con-
graduated upon the development of such
u capable means of public expression and
such an effective method of concentrating
the forces of public sentiment.

Confidence.
From the New York Evening Sun.

IOiN tHe new 4pTh E1SculHS GUN.
Whether confidence is spoken of as re-
turning or reappearing, as though it were
a welcome guest which had untowardly
left us, or whether it is spoken of as re-
viving, in the language of the famous
metaphor describing it as a plant of slow
growth and in need of delicate nurture.
there are indications enough that conf
denre is returning or reviving in business
industrial and financial circles. So far
1t may consist chiefly in an expectation of
better things, a certain hopeful looking
forward to widespread restoration Of
those conditions of prosperous activity
which declined toward approximate idle
ness two years ago under the blight of
demagogic fury and were smitten with
paralysis in the panic year of 1907. New
ertheless, this very attitude of expectan-
cy and hope in the minds of merchants
manufacturers, wage earnerS, investors
and financiers bespeaks a radical change
1t is a part of confidence. not a part of
suspicion. 1t denotes courage, not fear
With the materials for prosperity always
abundant in this favored land, it has
never needed aught but the magic
touch of confidence toward the future
to realize the prosperity that was pos
sible, and such a touch seems to have
been impaired.

Labor at the White House.

The topic of the coming dinner the
President is to give to a number of labor
leaders Is too tempting to escape the ex-
aggerations of gossip. 1t means. we are
told, such changes in labor leadership as
will practically make Mr. Roosevelt the
principal power in the American Fedora
ton of Labor, and lead to the overthrow
of the men who until now have shaped
matters in that organization.
This is simply nonsense. Such a pro-
gram could not be executed Criticism Of
Mr.. Gompers' latest move was that 1t
sought to drag politics into the organize
ton, or the organization into politics. He
tried 10 deliver union labor In a body TO
Mr.. Bryan. The program failed. Labor
insisted on doing its own thinking and
voting. Would labor benefit by turning
at once TO Mr.. Roosevelt and making him
it's leader? After refusing to go into
politics under Mr.. Gompers. would there
be good reason for going into politics UNI
der Mr.. Roosevelt? Does not every con-
sideration of sound policy counsel labor
not to go into politics under any leader
ship?
The men who have been invited to the
White House dinner did not support Mr..
Gompers IN his political move. Some
thought him unwise in moving at all.
Others differed with him as to the su-
preme value of the issue he presented.
They thought there was a good deal more
in the campaign than the injunction issue
for labor to consider. Why, they rea-
soned, should not laboring men. as other
men, vote according to the general value
of things? They themselves were fol
Taft, but were under no contract OF
promise to deliver labor as a body to him
Although supporting Judge Taft. these
men did not concede that labor had
nothing further to ask of Congress. Or
the contrary, they are in favor of addi.
tional legislation. The question now is
what legislation? Mr.. Roosevelt want.
