burn rate bill is working so satisfac-
torily that no other changes of i'm

The sherman antitrust law is brought
prominently before the country through
the decision i'm the Standard oil case,
and the attention which has been at
tractcd To IL as result of the discus
sion of the law in connection with the

companies.
1t had been expected that President
Taft would follow i'm the footsteps Of
his predecessor and advocate changes

public would be served The Standard
oil decision may, however change the
plans of the president 10 the extent of
postponing active consideration of the

passed on the decision of the lower
court so that congress may have the
final Interpretation of the Jaw before it.

1AEr,s FIRST MESSAGE.

The first message Of President Tatt
to Congress will be read next week.
and the country will then have good
line on what the policies of the admin
istration are to be. 1t is evident from
the statements made by members OF
the Currency commission, that we shall
not have "A report from that body TINS
winter. and hence currency reform is
postponed for at least another year
unless the president should deem the
matter OF sufficient Importance 10 call
an extra session in the spring. and this
is extremely unlikely. There Is no
question but that currency reform Is
one Of the most. if not the most, I'M
portant matter before the country, but
while the delay is regrettable, the very
importance of the question is reason
enough for taking whatever time is
necessary 10 secure the adoption of the
best possible system.
The president will undoubtedly have
much to say of the preservation OF our
waterways and forests. and legislation
along the lines of progress In these
directions may take some of the time
Of the members of congress during the
session. The advocates Of huge gov
eminent loan to finance irrigation pro-
jocts will urge action by congress. but
the country seems utterly opposed &c
going into that business on the scale
proposed. especially as private enter
prise is accomplishing the same re-
suits. our foreign relations with I'M
portant nations are satisfactory. ex-
pcct for such trade difficulties as the
application Of the maximum rates o.
the new tariff law may cause. 1t Is
considered possible that congress VII
postpone the date of the application o.
the maximum rates provided Tor pu
aside from this possibility tariff legis'
Iation need not be looked for.
The coming session OF congress vii
no doubt be given up mainly to a DIS
cussion OF measures bearing on TN
railways and the Industrial companies

Lydia Kamakeha Liliuokalanl. for
mer queen Of the Hawaiian Islands.
was born in Honolulu, December 2, 1898,
and is direct descendant of Kane
hameha J.. who made successful con-
quest of the various islands OF the
Hawaiian group and united them UNI
der his own rule. Liliuokalani was
made vice-regent of the kingdom when
King Kalakaua left Hawaii and after
his death in San Francisco, was pro-
claimed queen, Jan 90. 1891. Her
attempts to abolish the constitution of
1887 and restore absolute monarchy,
though abandoned. led to her dethrone-
ment. Jan. 30. 1892. A provisional
government was set up, and although
President Cleveland declared in favor
OF her restoration to the throne. her
efforts i'm that direction failed. After
her dethronement she came to the
United states and did not return TO
Hawaii until after the annexation Of
the islands i'm 1893. In recent years
the former queen has paid several
visits TO the UnitedA states TO press her
claims against the government for
compensation for lands formerly be-
longing to the crown in the Hawaiian
Islands. but all Of her attempts In this
direction have been unsuccessful.

THE DOOM OF THE LORDS.

The house of lords has taken the
fatal step of rejecting the British bud
get, against the wise counsel of its
sagest and most sighted members.
Nothing but the Unborn conservatism
of the British public can save the
house of the lords. II has invited the
test OF it's right To endure at a time
whom the British people were never
less patient with privilege such as the
lords represent. Blinded by its self
ish resentment at being called upon
to pay its Just share of taxes, the So
called upper" branch OF the British
parliament has challenged, for the
first time i'm centuries, the right OF the
commons To levy taxes.
The Briton dearly loves lord. He
regards him as luxury perhaps as
an ornament without great use; hut
he has been accustomed To cherish
him, 10 bow and scrape to him, 20
give i'm To him. Now ne is asked 10
give In 10 him on "A matter that
touches deeply every citizen of the
kingdom. He is asked tn abandon his
right TO levy taxes through the bran'h
of parliament he elects; to submit to
having his wishes in the matter OF
taxation set aside by branch of par
lament that represents hereditary
privilege. whose members are touched
by the proposed levy. The branch OF
parliament that represents a privilcg-
ed class which long has been exempt
ed from it's fair share of taxation has
dared to reject a tax measure that
calls upon its members for no more
than fair taxation. measure that had
been passed overwhelmingly by the
popular branch of parliament. The
issue OF the masses against the classes
could not be clearer. The right of
privilege to enforce exemption from
its lust dues to society is forced upon
the people, and il will be threshed out
i'm the coming bitter campaign. AS
we have said. nothing but the Ingram
ed conservatism of the British masses
can save the house of lords from eN-
tinctiou. and that conservatism has
been subjected to a course of irritating
affronts that has worn it to the van
ishing point-Duluth Herald.
