KIPLING'S LAST WORD FROM
THE WATCH TOWER.

In his capacity as the sentinel on
the watch tower of the times, the
anointed guardian Of modern civiliza-
ton, the censor Of British politics. and
the saviour OF the empire, Dir. Kipling
has broken out with another demon
stration that as he grows older he be-
comes more and more the extreme con
servative. It was sad loss TO litera-
ture when Mr. Kipling got 10 taking
himself so seriously that he dropped
letters per Sc ia order to take up world
politics. He managed many times to
strike the true and popular chord in
his earlier political poems, as vide THE
Truce Of the Bear" and The White
Mans Burden" But in strictly inter
nal British politics he has been the
tory, the mere objeetor TO social prog
resg. He has been so obsessed with
contemplation of military might as the
aim of government that he overlooks
the masses Of men whose Blended
shoulders must carry its burden.
Such as Kipling have go small re-
sponsibility TO bear for melting all Eu-
cope TO the fever which today mani
Sssts its symptoms in the race of arma-
nent. the burden Of taxes TO sustain
armies and nsvies, the universal sus-
picion among the great groups of
powers. These things have cost
tremendous treasure. under which the
producing millions of Europe groan in
despair. They cast about for assist

on such devices as the inheritance tax.
the income tax, etc. These efforts Of
the lower str,ta Of society 10 shift
their burden to shoulders best able to
bear it arouse the bitter antagonism

these loads on the people, but he pro-
tests against the people seeking the

JOINT PARTNERSHIP AR
RANGEMENT IN PHILA-
DELPHIA.

Philadelphia has come out of
joint partnership with its street rail
way company partnership by which
it was allowed representation on the
board of misunderstanding only few
things. among them:
More cars.
Cheaper fares.
Cleaner ears.
Universal transfers.
Extension of car lines.
To add insult to injury, the street
railway company pretenGs that it is
living up to the terms of its franchise
when it stopped selling six tickets for
quarter. The compaLy's old fran
ehise provided for a scent fare, but
before asking for a new franchise the
company reduced the rate TO SIX rides
for a quarter. The new franchise pro-
posed one of those nice, easy going
partnerships under which everything
was to be peaceful. To show its good
faith the company had a clause put in
the new franchise to the effect that the
rate OF fare should be "as at present"
OF course, Philadelphia thought "ss at
present" meant six tickets for a quar-
ter; but the company knew what it
was about. When it got ready it
boosted the fares TO 5 cents straight
and said that as at present" meant
the rate of fare provided in the ordi-
nance under which the company was
working. In other words, it broke
faith because it could.
We incline TO think 1t might be pos
sible to persuade Philadelphia to swap
two tens for five" if you asked the
favor quickly, but that the City of
Brotherly Love would give a fairly hot
reception to anybody who proposed a
Joint partnership agreement" as a
good way to solve the difficulties which
arise between municipalities and public
service corporations.

THE EFFORT FOR REFORM IN
NEW JERSEY.

New Jersey viii vote this fall on a
series OF constitutional amendments
which have been submitted to the peo-
pie by the Legislature. a careful read
ing of them discloses that the one
amendment which Jersey needs Is not
included in the list: an amendment.
that IS, which viii take the control OF
the State senate out Of the hands of
the political bosses who control the
rotten borough counties.
Essex and Hudson counties have
each a State senator. They represent
in the upper chamber two-thirds and
more Of the States population; but
they are only an insignificant fraction
Of the membership Of the senate. In
these two counties there Is a decent
and live realization Of Jerseys bond
age to the juggernaut OF machine pol
ities; but what good does it do if the
new idea people occasionally win in
these counties and send real representa-
tives to the upper branch, when the
politicians control the little counties
and calmly outvcte the men who repre-
sent all the best sentiment and most
OF the people in the State?
This rotten borough system of rep
resentation is the affection of Jersey,
of Connecticut, of Rhode Island. II
has been computed that in Rhode Isl
and II per cent of the voters can
choose a majority in both houses OF
the assembly. In Jersey it is different
only in degree; the situation in prin-
ciple is just as bad.
Jersey is to have, if the new consti-
tutional provisions are adopted, an inn
proved method of spportioning repre-
sentation IN the lower house Of her
assembly; but while the senate remains
as now. and while the method OF Sc
iecting it goes unchanged, there viii be
no real improvement. There viii be
some advantage if the political amend
ment carries. TO FIX election dates So
that all national elections shall be sep
arated from State elections. putting the
State elections in the odd numbered
years while the national pollings Of
course remain in the even numbered
wears. But it is all sounding brass
and tinkling cymbal so long as the
State senate remains the instrument OF
the public service corporation instead

NEW YORK ALSO Furnishes
THE CRIME OF AGE.

A young man named II. William
Smith has entered protest against
his removal from the teaching forces
of the city of New York H. William
Smith Is only seyenty-six years of
age, but the school bosses say that
he Is too old to teach. He has taught
for fifty-fve years, and he has been
in one school Tor fifty years, except
for three years vacation. when he
went to the front in the Civil War
and shot ideas from a gun
Mr.. Smiths protest was in vain.
This is the manner in which the case
was presented against him;
EFF we postpone taking action on
this matter now, we viii be flooded
with petitions in Mr.. smiths behalf.

Senator Money has inaugurated a bear
raid on the early-adjournment stocks
He had sent to the desk and had read
list of the features OF the tar'n bill
which have not yet even been reported
by the Senate Committee. He pointed
out that until these things were before

worth while as to the sort OF measure

He had been approached repeatedly

Senators in agreeing TO a date for a

many Of the most important features or
the measures had not yet been agreed
upon and reported by the Finance Com

less to try TO agree on date for vot-
ing. Then he had his list Of misston
sections read. and the Senate gssped

Chile objected and Bolivia agreed 10

been getting 50,O00O00 pesos a year out
of nitrate revenues. She had two strong
lTOHciads and was confident she could
whip Chile Chile feared that probably
this was true Peru got more and more
aggressive, and finally Bolivia with the
approval of Peru. broke her agreement
with Chile as TO keeping the export
duties down on nitrate, and Chile
promptly declared war against Bolivia
and Peru, and sent troops to the neutral
zone, to enforce expectation OF nitrate

Rayner's Language Lesson.

Senator Rayner sprung some Ian
guage lessons on the Senate while dis
cussing the pineapple schedule. He was
contending that the word revision sim
ply meant seeing again and that it
might mean upward or downward and
when the Republican party promised
revision il promised nothing. though the
people did not understand this.
Revise means TO see again. said
Senator Rayner- 1T comes from the
Latin word re- again and 'videre.' to
see. Translated into French il Is 'au
revoir.' in German it Is 'wiedersehn'
and translated into every dead and liv-
ing language il has but one definition
and means but one thing, and the ex-
pert who framed the Republican plat
form, being q lawyer OF great distinC-
ton, now occupying high place In the
Federal service. knew exactly what he
was doing when he put the word re
vision into the body Of the instrument.
