creeds and contentious, but breathe the
spirit of the land itself. The un-

the descriptions.

In the list of recent books received
at the library, the largest group is one
that deals with literature in different
forms. Those interested in the drama
will recognize in the volumes by
Knight, Price and Woodbridge standard
works on the technique of dramatic
composition. Two new dramas are pre-
scented. The first is by the author of
"The Servant in the House." with a
setting, however, quite different, for
we are taken back to the eleventh
century, to the country and the age
of the Norsemen. Thorkel, Valbrand,
Biorn, Olaf are names that suggest the
saga. A lie and the tragic conse-
quences, involving the lives of all the
characters, afford opportunity for a
moral message delivered with the same
subtle art as in "The Servant in the
House,
The second of the new plays is
''The House of Rimmon," in which
Naaman the Syrian is the central fig
ure. Not only has DR.. Van Dyke re-
produced scenes in Damascus and the
mountains of Samaria, but his charac.
ters move in them, part of their en-.
vironment, and speak to us in words
that linger like strains of stately

there are two contributions, both by

BOSTON TO VOTE ON GOV
EMINENT BY COMMISSION.

Boston Is beginning : long campaign
for new charter. Two schemes. viii
be submitted to the voters next No
vember. One retains a council Of
thirty-six members, chosen by wards,
and. in a broad sense, is the plan OF
government followed in most cities at
present. The other scheme approaches
closely government by commission, as
the council viii consist of but nine
members elected at large. The com
mission form seems to have the sup
port of the newspapers generally, and
as it has been indorsed by the com
mittee of one hundred which Is back
ing the campaign for reform in the
city government, its adoption Is con
fdently predicted
An interesting side Of the contest is
the statement by the Boston CORE
spondent of the Springfield Republican
that BOston's liking for direct prima-
ries viii be instrumental in the choice
of the plan providing the commission
scheme OF government. The other plan
reverts to nomination by convention
and has the support of the politicians.
1t has been frequently stated that
Boston did not like nominating by di-
rect vote and would seize the first OPP
portunity to get rid of the system. It
is news to learn that the city's views
on this point have been misrepresented.

vote on government by commission.

LORD ROSEBERY AND PER
PETUAL YOUTH.

Short If a reference to the English
Who's Who, it isn't possible to ven
ture a guess as to iow old Lord Rose
berry may be. But it is shocking to
note that he has replied to an invita-
ton to visit Australia that ''he is
afraid he is too old"
If there has been anywhere in the
world 9 man whose career and habits
of life and thought seemed to war
rant the impression that he had
quaffed of the fountain of perpetual
youth, Lord Rosebery is that man. He
has always seemed to be the young
statesman; rather the diIettante, it is
true; the amateur, skilled and clever,
but without the staying qualities of
the professional He has been every
thing except a great man. Starting in
life with eleverness and brilliancy he
confessed to three ambitions: to win
the Derby, to marry the richest heiress
in the kingdom and to be premier.
While he WAS yet young man he had
realized all three
1t might seem that this cleverest of
English gentlemen would be stated with
success. lie has written and writ
ten well; he has been head of the
empire; he has been the protege of
Gladstone, the favorite of both Victoria
and the great commoner whom she
cordially disliked. He might have been
premier a second time had he chosen,
but instead he laid aside his ambitions
and let other men take the burden. It
Is even conceivable that he might yet
be called again to the head of the
government.
But now he confesses that "he fears
he is too old" to accept the invitation
of the imperial Federation League OF
Melbourne to visit Australia and confer
regarding the cooperation of the
colony and the mother country in
plans for defense. 1t is a confession
which viii bring a shock. Everybody
has known that Lord Rosebery must
be older than he was twenty and
thirty years ago; but nobody has stop
ped to grasp the fact, and he has al
ways been set down as the young man
of great affairs.
And perhaps that is why he never
impressed himself as a great man. He
didn't grow old when and as he should
have done.

GOOD RESULTS FROM TINE
LIMIT ON A GAS FRANCHISE.

A demonstration of the Importance
of limiting a franchise is witnessed in
Minneapolis, where the franchise Of the
gas company expires in two years
Here is a history of the range of gas
prices in Minneapolis since 1878:
From January l. 1873, to October /.
1852, $3.50 per thousand.
From October i. 1852, to March J. 1856,
$3.50 per thousand.
From March /. 1856. to January /. 1891.
81. so Uer thousand.
From January /. 1891, TO March /, 1885.
el-60 per thousand.
From March 1. 1895, to January /, 1901,
$50 per thousand
From January J. 1901, to June j. 1904,
800 per thousand.
From June l. 1904, to October ], 1905,
Sl.lo per thousand,
From October ], 1906, to present time,
81 per thousand.
It viii be seen that the company
has not been a victim of its own gen
erosity. 1t seems to have charged all
the time about what the traffic would
bear and give returns on the invest
ment. Now that the time Is coming
for its franchise to expire, the COM
pany Is becoming a little more liberal.
It offers for a renewal of the fran
chise to sell gas at 80 cents a thou
sand feet and to supply gas free to
2.4OO street lamps. No doubt if the
city shows any disposition to exercise
its option and take over the plant the
company viii see its way clear to
make a still better proposal for the
right to continue to do business.
If : State has a frst-class public
utilities commission, always ready to
safeguard the public interests and pre-
pared to compel corporations to sell
their product at a reasonable rate, we
can see some sense in the demand that
franchises be perpetual, thus giving
corporations opportunity TO finance
their securities at better rates. But
without some such plan TO make the
corporation fulfill its duty the idea Of
deliberately giving away valuable
franchises in perpetuity seems ineon-
eeivably stupid It would be interest
ing to hear whether Minneapolis be
lievcs that perpetual franchises are

THE BLUFFING ABOUT THE
HIDE TARIFF.

The discussion of the duties on hides,
IN the Senate, has degenerated into an
exchange Of very tawdry bluffs between
the extreme protectionists ON both
sides. 1t has been buster and bluff
and buncombe from both directions.
II you'll give us free leather and
free shoes, we don't care about the
duty on hides; you can take that away
from us" the hide people have said a
thousand times
20, well, we can go as far as you
can; give us free leather and tanning
materials, and we don't mind free shoes
and leather" the shoe Senators have
retorted.
But Neither crowd meant it. If they
had meant it, there would have been
something doing. The consumer. the
man who wears the shoes, has been
egging them both on, trying to call
some Of the bluffs; but he never got a
look at the cards OF course not.
Neither side meant what it was say
ing; neither side wanted to give up its
duty but each was willing to have the
other surrender.
That's the sort of revision the eoun-
try is getting too much OF all along the
line in this measure. The tanners want
free hides, and ought to have them.
The shoe and leather makers want
them and ought to have them. The
people from the hide-Producing States
generally admit, for private but not for
public consumption, that they don't
believe the tariff benefit goes to the
farmer and stock grower. They think
it goes, III the main. at least. to the
Beef trust, which Is in the way of be
coming the Leather trust, and before
long may be expected to become the
Shoe trust as we'll
The people who stick for the duty on
hides are doing it because they know
that by their combination with New
England they have so far betrayed
their constituents that they must make
q bluff about getting something for
their own people They want to show
that something was saved in the tariff
for the farmer. He can't figure out
much benefit from the high duties on
the cereals, which he exports and whose
price is made in the world markets. He
has just one product of which there
are imports, and on which, therefore.
there is even the ghost of a chance to
claim that the tariff can do him anv
good That Is the hide, which is rather
a byproduet than a product And so
there must needs be "a vast lot of

REGULATE THE KEEPING or
FOWLS.

The Commissioners of the District
should be commended for the new
police regulation relating to keeping
live domestic fowls within the resi-
Dental or built-up portions of the CITY.
Keeping chickens and other fowls in
small back yards and fuel sheds creates
q real nuisance and a menace to
health.
Citizens who have been 80 unfortu-
nate as to live near one OF these places
can speak authoritatively as to the
character of the nuisance, the stenehes

it IS almost impossible to prevent the
evils by any efforts at cleansing or

and raising cattle. Senator Hey

erces a q cowboy. He was saying that
cattle were raised with no small degree
of trouble and expense

And in the same speech the Idaho
Senator indicated another phase Of his

the Republican Platform of 1850 and
how as first voter back in Pennsyl-

member of a marching club.
