GOVERNORS CONFERENCE.

In some quarters the future posi-
bility Of an other governors confer
encc. similar 10 the recent one called
AT Washington by President Roosevelt
has been discussed IN haphazard
sort OF way but as yet nothing very
definite has been determined upon.
There may be those who believe the
tangible results of the conference
We're very small. Indeed that they
could not be otherwise With a body
possessing no legislative powers. The
results Of the Conference cannot be set
forth with mathematical exactness.
They may not be apparent for some
time to come. One Of the first results
will be the wide distribution of the
printed record Of the conference.
Many Of the prepared papers were not
presented orally but will be printed
in this record, which Will be very au-
thoritative because Of the intimate
knowledge Of the many men, each ex-
perts in their lines, who have written
for 1t. Then, too, the fact that this
number of governors, eaen with a
wide sphere of influence, h.. returned
home with the conviction that some
Ia la -
resources, irrespective of party finan-
cial, social or other lines, promises
practical results
So enthusiastic has one Of our prom
inent papers become over the posi-
bilities of such governors conferences
that It openly proposes a "house of
governors, in which each state has
its gubernatorial representative. Will
liam George Jordan, who Is said to
have been the originator Of the plan,
himself favors the suggestion. He
proposes no legislative powers given
to this house" by constitutional
changes or otherwise, but says he be-
lieves It can we'll continue as volun-
tary body, its members accomplishing
their results by the sheer force Of
their influence ana personality at
home. Being earnest men, these gov
errors will be able to mould public
thought all over the country in a uni
form channel, Sc occurring legislation
when and where needed on matters
of national importance. And, in
versely, the states will tend to take
greater care that the governors they
send to represent tn IN at the house

CONGRESSIONAL REPORTS.

Within. very few days The Journal
Courier has taken occasion to criticize
two time-worn customs Of our national
legislative bodies. One was the CIV
ing of too much arbitrary power to the
speaker of the house of representa-
tives; and the other was the method of
railroading certain bills through con-
gress which would not be passed under
ordinary circumstances by adding
them, as rider" amendments, to GER
tain bills already before congress which
are SO desirable that they have 1t in
them to overcome the unpopularity of
these amendments These methods have
been attacked In every quarter and will
continue to be until the time comes

YALE's TIDY REQUEST.

The result of the probate court ruling
in London on the will of Archibald
Henry Blount will bring a tidy little
sum to the Golfers Of Old Eli. In spite
of the surprise that the big si65,000 be-
quest to Yale made on every hand and
the feeling of certainty In many minds
that the testator must have been I'M
balanced when he made out his will In
this way, having many times expressed
dislike OF America and Americans
and not having had, as far as was
known, any knowledge OF Yale, It now
develops that he not only was well In
formed as to Yales work and needs in
q general way but that he even went
as far as to correspond at great length
with the university officials ten years
ago about what he intended to do. He
even submitted to the latter a draft OF
his will for approval, the amount to be
bequeathed moi being included in It. In
1907 he wrote to Yale to state that he
was contemplating making the gift
during his lifetime but since that time
nothing further had been heard from
him.

the latter part of his life, he made him
self out to be very poor man; his APP
pearance was shabby; and he seemed to
have no interest In life How much bet
ter 1t would have been, had he given
his money to some worthy institution
1t need not necessarily have been Yale,
Then he would have had something to
hold him to life; he would have recev-
ed the credit of his generosity while
alive and would not have died only to
be called a miser, when at heart his
purposes were of the most generous
Yale Is to be congratulated upon its
new acquisition. The money can be put
to good advantage and surely he would
not be a New Havener who would sim
cerely believe that Henry Blount could
have selected a better university to be
the beneficiary of his will.
