NO NEW STATE HOUSE.

M ANY will share with Senator Conner his
4 II disappointment at the defeat of his new
State House bill AS the Senator says, the new
State House project has been his pet hobby for
some years fine new State House would be
an ornament to the town of Dover, and something
of which the State itself could feel proud.
The only argument advanced against the pro-
ject was that the State was not in a financial po-
sition to afford the expense. Among some of the
members of the Legislature there is a pro-
nounced disposition to guard the pocket book OF
the State. They feel uncertainty as regards
the financial condition of the State-that is,
they want to see how the new schemes of taxa
ton will work, and what will be the income and
expenses of the State.
Although Mr.. Corners project bad many
warm supporters it must be admitted that our
county exchanges did not become enthusiastic in
support of the bill. Probably two years hence
the State will be in a position to undertake The
erection of new building and Mr.. Conner
should not lose all hope His persistence will
be rewarded sooner or later.

Already the stan correspondents and
tho special commissioners and all the
rest OF the superior journalists that are
sent to Washington to dazzle ''the home
folks" with blazing chronicles Of the lux
ury of the court have begun to specu-'
late on the intimate affairs Of the incom-
ing Administration: They have. for one
thing, settled it among themselves that
the Tennis Cabinet must 60 No longer
IN the capital enjoy the spectacle of
Cabinet officers and under secretaries
and blushing subordinates generally
rushing TO the White House during office
hours with rackets under their arms
and a somewhat aggressive air of being
able TO jump over the moon. Not again
is Washington likely to witness the re-
turn of bedraggled courtiers after a
nard run over the Rock Creek Park
country, interpreted with plunges into
the stream and exposure to driving rain
or sleet. These standards of fitness for
Government work are TO be withdrawn,
we hear. and others less heroic substi-
tuted by Mr.. Taft but there are further
questions Of almost equally burning in
terest. and concerning these many great
minds are at this moment immersed in
ecstatic guess work
OF course we have the stupendous
issue Of the social secretary-an issue
before which international entangle-
ments fade away and the best regulated
tripods tremble like reeds before the wind.
Into this sacred territory we intrude no
impious foot. We console ourselves with
tlmid contemplation of the White House
military retinue that has been maintained
under the present occupant and may or
may not be perpetuated by his successor.
Often have we watched their scintillating
splendor as the President came down
stairs TO his meals and was promptly en-
veloped in the radiance Of their buttons.
As they formed in front Of him and the
band played Hail to the Chief' and the
procession moved into the Red Room or
the Blue Room or the East Room, or
wherever the guests were assembled, It
has often occurred TO us TO wonder why
they did not go straight TO battle instead
Of TO dinner or plain luncheon. IT seemed
a pity that 80 much warlike upholstery
and such martial music should be wasted
on feed. Better Kettle Hin again and
the shouting OF the Captains than this

problem remains and concerning this
great writer's for greater newspapers are
still ransacking The gardens of conjecture
We shall know all about It when NJ.

the White House retinue; and for this
event some few of us can wait Mean

TAFT AND THE TARIFF.

M r. TAFT has made his position regarding
\ tariff revision plain despite the garbling
OF his views by his political opponents
The Presidentelect says that he is hopeful of
important revisions of the tariff schedules to be
made by the coming session of Congress, and
he looks forward to June I as the date when
these changes will be made effective In other
words, Mr.. Taft wants the tariff matter settled
as soon as possible so that business can adjust
itself to the new schedules. And in this view
all those who are weary OF this talk about the
unsettling Of business will join. We have GER
tainly had enough OF it for a while. What the
country wants is to get down to business, think
little OF politics and try to regain the ground
that has been lost during the last year or so
Mr.. Taft favors the proposed permanent tariff
commission, although he does not think such
commission should have the authority to estab-
lish rates. AT all events tariff revision should
not be held back for the commission. Such a
body would have only powers of recommends
ton but its advice should be valuable The
commission could furnish Congress with infor-
nation and advice, but Congress, of course,
would be the body that would make the sched-
ules, We make our tariffs according to the hit
-or-miss plan, and it is a wonder that we get
along as well as we do

TAKE NO SUBSTITUTED,
MEN AS SUFFRAGETTES
Young EnsIishmen Are Active in tn,
Movement.


Every one nowadays knows brilliant
young soldiers who are ardent "suffra-
settes," writes an English woman in the
I.ady's Pictorial Review; barristers and
artists who will walk by the side of fran
,hise professions, and famous actors who
viii preside over meetings OF protesting
condolences.
Not the least interesting of modern
Dersonalities-so far as they are to be
observed in London drawing rooms-is
the young man who throws himself with
ardor into the franchise movement
This young man is a portentous sign
)f the times, and Il is getting rare as the
months go by to find a masculine person
under who begrudges us our hoped for
rights.
The elderly Engllshman and the elderly
American-by temperament and upbring-
ing always inclined to regard woman as
prodigious joke-are amazed at the
present turn Of affairs.
For the woman question is on the carpet
in these days as it never was before and
is impossible to go into any drawing
room or to sit down at any dinner table
In the land without this ubiquitous topic

In France femnisme has been taken up
whole heartedly by the leading novelists,
especially by the men. and one has only
to remember the striking novels on this
topic written Of recent years by Marcel
Provost, Paul Marguerite and other
famous French authors to see how pre-
occupied is the intellect Of France with
the matter.
It would be instructive II some paper
or review OF high standing in London
would ascertain the opinion OF leading
scientists, writer's and philosophers
apart from party politicians-on the pres
ent and future woman.
Quite recently in Paris la Revue started
such a symposium, and it is startling to
the Anglo-Saxon to see the unanimity
with which Latin masculinity defends the
weaker sex and points out the moral ex-
cellencies Of its womankind.
