CiLIAENS.

The Evening Journal" recently called
the attention Of President Taft. Gov
ernor Hughes and Senator Root TO the
condition Of affairs i'm the Republican
party in this state, pointing out that
many voters of the party were being
led aStray by this absurd controversy
over direct nominations and that if IL
were continued with virility lsicl at the
next session of the Legislature, and
legislators were called upon TO act in
this matter as IL IL were personal issue
rather than one of judgment. the result
TO the Republican party would unques-
tionably be disastrous. II Will make no

BY all means let us be calm The
Albany Journal" is illustrating how To
be calm by printing a long and excited
editorial nearly every evening. IL calls
for calmness in a loud voice and in tones
that do not conceal anguish.
We commend 10 The Journal the
example of Governor Hughes in the dis
cuSsion OF this question. From the out
set he has been conspicuously fair. He
has INDUCED in no personalities. His

While many Of the other advocates Of
the change have not been able TO main
tain the dignity nor show the good sense
that he has shown. the language of the
most excitable of them has been deco
rous aud philosophical compared with
the utterances of the opposition.
IL is time for the opposition To cool
off. To give up wild denunciations. To
abandon the liberal use of 'socialistic''
and "un-American" as its favorite ep-
ithets and come into the arena with
arguments. If il had done 80 in the
first place IL would be in better posi-

that the loudest and most excited de-

Not the least significant fact brought
cur by the recent trials is that the North

sary TO shut off four of the fourteen
boilers of the North Dakota before the

impossible to make an accurate esti-
mate of the speed she would have de-
NelOped during the whole run had there
been no interruption. There is no ques-
tion. though. that for at least two hours
she travelled at the rate of PHI knots.
The Delaware's average for four hours
was 21.56. The North Dakota's mean
for five separate runs of single mile

Finally. it is reported that during the

ART MUSEUM READY.
Boston Structure To- Open on
4UORddU.

Boston. Nov. -?.-CelebTating the compile
tiOn of the new museum Of fine arts. on
Huntington avenue, at the edge Of the Fen
way. conference of officers Of various
museums was held to-day i'm the trustees
room of the building. After the director.
Arthur Fairbanks. had explained 10 the
visitors the principles Of arrangement OF
the new museum emphasizing particularly
the division of collections in each depart
ment into historical periods, 5ricf addresses
were given.
Among the speakers were Frederick \.
Lucas curator i'm chief. and Franklin W.
Hooper director os the Brooklyn Institute
of Arts and Sciences; II. W. Kent. assistant
secretary of the Metropolitan Museum OF
Art, New York City; John w Beatty d.
rector of fine arts of the Carnegie Instt-
tute. Pittsburg. and \. H. Griffith. OF the
Detroit Museum OF Art.
Mr. Beatty spoke on the international
exhibitions OF paintings which have been
held at the Carnegie Institute at Pitts
burg. lie said in part:
In Pittsburg. year after year. some
hundred and nifty paintings representative
of the ablest masters OF Europe were
the strongest men of America Many
art lovers, from many cities widely sep
arated, came year after year 10 study
the exhibitions. and what was probably
more important as affecting the result, en-
ment and able art editors and~ correspond
ents OF this country came also. Later,
these critics spread their impressions
broadcast. through the monthly, weekly
and daily journals. Among all those who
came 10 see and those who read one
dominant Impression prevailed. namely.
that the American works were as strong
and beautiful as those OF any other cOun-
try represented. Tho result was two
fold: First, the creating of a profound
respect for American art among art low
eTS. and second. the inspiration In the
minds OF the American painters Of a
wholesome and helpful confidence.
In addition to the public and profess
sional interest thus aroused. there came
into existence other and not less impor-
tant factors. Each year there was elected
by the votes OF some seven hundred con-
tributors. an International Jury composed
of two foreign and eight American paint
erS. The jurors thus elected met from
year TO year at Pittsburg TO pass final
Judgment upon the works assembled and
TO bestow the awards.
our International exhibitions have ex-
eTted a twOrold influence: They have
helped 10 bring the American painter into
MS own. By demonstrating in a practical
way the equality OF his work with the
best OF the world. and they have AFFORDED
our own people exceptional opportunities
Tor education ald pleasure.
The new structure in which the oolIee-
tions are now all In place. Is a classic
building OF granite. with pillsred front
and two great wings. The collections are
so arranged as 10 secure a maximum OF
light and of accessibility The building
will be opened 10 the public on Monday.
