sOME aGoRR RnRoRpr.

There ts more reform on tap. of the genuine, old Puritan brand. 'If re- ports coming from washburn, wiscOn- sin, are to be credited" rernarks The Manchester, CN. Hl Union, ''the Sun day closing order in that place is iIke- iy to undergo modification. So rigid was the order that the livery stables were forbidden to furnish rigs last Sunday. and as a result at least one funeral had to be postponed until Mon. day. In other words. the Sunday re- form movement was 70 strict that even the burial Of the dead was compelled to wait.
 ''No one. perhaps, will presume to say that. as rule, Sunday is too con- scientiously observed in any part of this country. Few are disposed to quarrel with any sane attemDt to im- prove conditions in this respect. It Is "a pretty generally recognized fact. however. that reform movements, when they so to extremes, are likely to be- get equally extreme reaction. So it appears to have been in washburn; for 1t is said that many persons who had previously been in favor of closing practically all places of business on Sunday have turned directly about since learning of the postponment of the funeral hereinbefore mentioned, and are now in favor of permitting everything in the line of business to run openly on Sunday as on other days"
 Thus it is apparent that the penduI- nm always swings back. and 1t is well if it doesn't go back beyond its start ing point. Reforms which are unreas- enable, impracticable and unjust are sure to not only defeat their own pur- pose but to react unfavorabIy and thus accomplish more harm than good. There is limit even to reform. as there is to other human matters, and when that limit Is passed evil comes. People cannot be made entirely good by legislation. and with all the re- spect and veneration for the Sabbath which all good people should entertain 1t cannot be made a dead and closed interim in human life. The Incident related by The Union might have been expected to lead to just about such results as are reported. Reform run mad is no benefit to humanity.

WILL NOT BE SENATOR.

Tn discussing the question of Roose- veit's future the suggestion comes from many quarters that he be made Senator from New York to suc- ceed PfAtt. This is based of course on the assumption that he will not again be nominated and elected President. The former we do eot consider at aii Impossible. or hardly SnsDrobabie. but whether he could be again elected de- pends orwell. several things which 1t is not necessary to specify now. But the Boston Globe negatives the idea of the senatorship. NOW, how ever.s that paper remarks. it is re- ported that President Roosevelt VIII not enter the senate. whatever happens at the elections next November. This resolution Is said to have been born in the reflection that if Mr. Roosevelt were in the senate during the next four years he would lave to criticise or defend the administration that had succeeded his own. Either course would bring him Into perpetual verbal conflict with other senators, -ho would like nothing better than to challenge that spear which now-. knows no brother.
 "The Inevitable result would be ies- senins of the dignity of the ex-presi- dental figure. and this might have sig nificant consequences if, as some proph- cts think 1t not so very improbable. Mir. Roosevelt. after four years of another's administration. should be nominated in isi2."
 But The Globe forgets to mention that Senator Roosevelt would be con- ttnuaily called on to defend his own administration. when he ceased to be President and took his place in the Senate there would be men of his own party in both houses who would take delight in critscising his adninistra- ton of the government Being on equal footing. and having no further reason to fear his big stick msthods they would say things they do not care to say now. The Democratic senatcrs. also. would take delight h batting and drawing him out just for the fun Of seeing him ruffled.
 And. as The Globe says, we may be sure that if he is made Senator he win soon find occasion to pitch intc the acts and policies of ais successor. even though that successor might be a man of his own choosing. It is hardly within the bounds of possibility that any man, even Taft himself. would con- duet an administration in q way that would please a man possessing the coneeit and the doninesring propensi- ties go prominent in RooseyeIt's make up. He would try to boss his success sor. and # he failed in that he would present the unenyiable spectacle of . man lighting his own heir We think there is not . shadow of doubt that Senator Rooseyeit would have some unpleasant experiences. eysn with a Republican President.

IS REASON REruRNINGg

The Hartford (conn.) Times calls att tention to what 1t considers two sig niflcant recent items of news. One Is the defeat of the proposed two cent passenger rate law in South Carolina, and the other is the announcement that monster petition from railroad em- pioyes all over Mississippi win be for worded to the Legislature of that State protesting against the enactment of such law there.
 Both of these developments are in- teresting. significant and possibly im- portant," says The Times. '4The dras- tic Legislation which has been passed by the legislatures of several states has abruptly halted all railroad expan- sion in the South. It has inflicted se- rious injury on the affected communi- ties and it has checked general devel- opment. A two-cent rate that may be wholly satisfactory and profitable in a region of traf1c density like Connecti- cut, may be wholly unsuited to condi- of the South. The policy of the South has been to swat the railroad on gem eral principles. Without mercy the lawmaking bodies of several states have used the big stick on the heads of transportation companies. The folly of these undiscriminating and whole sale attacks was bound to become ap- parent soon or late. A large volume of sentiment in favor of Ietting-up on the railroad Is now beginning to de- velop. Evidences of it are cropping out in the current reports from Miss issippi and South Carolina.
 The motto of Legislatures of late, es- pecially in the South, has been that of the Irishman at the Donnybrook Falr to his less experienced companion: "Whiniver ye see a head stickin' up hit it," was his counsel, and that has been too much the way with the law makers; whenever they saw Q railroad prospering the plan was to swat it, and The Times does not overestimate the evil and harm that may and has al- ready come of 1t, It will be well if reason and sanity in legislation resume .heir sway and corporations, like in- Hyiduals, be treated with strict regard Co fairness and justice.

This position he held for four years, when he resigned to embark in the publishing business on his own account. The beginning of his career as A founder and pub fisher, t is said. was due to q visit to the United States in 1890. Ills kirst venture was Pearson,s Weekly of which he made rapid success. He founded In rapid succession half

 Washsn gton Letter to Brooklyn Eagle.
 The salary roll of the Taft political workers is rolling up at a rapid rate and must be proving a big drain on the Taft bari. With the opening ot headquarters for the Secretary of Wal in this city on Monday, six or seven additional workers will begin to draw salaries from the Taft packers, and 1t is the understanding that branch headquarterS will be opened in New York. soon. In addition, there are a lot of agents. nobody knows how many who are constantly traveling over the country feeling the public pulse and Taft. e'H

nnreasonabls that the authorities should have bean in ignoranes Of the mans financial condition. or that they would give him Iicsnse to beg with out taking steps to ascertain his con- dition. but 1t seems stin more unrea- sonabie to think that the authorities, if they knew the facts. would have granted the license as stated Either way we view 1t the case is . very ps- culiar one. to say the least of 1t.
 But admitting. as we must. that 'sopas bessars are frauds" It only makes the problem of dealing with them more difficult. Charity endureth all things" said Paul. and 1t must sometimes be imposed on and taken advantage of. but what can the char itabiy disposed do? It is not always possible for one human being to know the truth or falsity Of the claims made by one who asks for help on the ground of actual want. and shall we suffer a deserving man or woman to go hun- gry or cold because there is pos- sibility that the applicant may be an iinposter? If that rule should be foI- lowed many who are brought to suf- fering through no fault of their own. and who have no means of helping themselves, would endure the miseriss of hunger and cold who are in no way to blame for their condition.
 This has been a hard season on the poor of many sections of the country. Thousands and tens of thousands of honest. industrious men have been thrown out of employment through no fault of their own. and many thou sands of women and children are suf- fering in consequences. Would 1t be the part of Christianity. of common humanity. to turn deaf ear to all applications for help merely because we might aid an impostor? We know it Is often difficult If not impossible. to dete.,t the true from the false. but is 1t not better to be imposed on some times than to refuse assistance to the really deserving and needyg Such impostors as the one referred to by The Ledger cannot flourish long with out detection.
