NEW YORK SOCIETY,"

Striking evidence of the cosnopolitanisnl
of New York Is TO be found in the revolu-
ton In the programme of society caused by
the death OF King Edward Aside from the
fact that he had many personal friends
among the fashionable set here. his demise
entails an entire change of plans on the
part of hundreds who could not boast of
any personal acquaintance. IL had been
expected that the London season would
prove exceptionally brilliant and that the
festivities in connection with the visit of
Theodore Roosevelt and with the Interna-
tional Horse Show at Olympia would have
contributed in no small degree TO the gay

persons here had leased either houses in

appeal to our broad minded American
press to give a moments thought 10 the
dire conditions against which our sister re-

determination have been her lot for many
months: ravaged lands. lost crops and sure
starvation now face this unhappy country.
President Taft and Mr.. Knox have lately

still believe that an Intelligent, free discus

parts of Central America. thousands OF
American planters merchants. miners and

mind. once peace is restored, there is no
reason why the former condition OF pros

TIE SHOCK ~ COSTA RICA.

Though the effects Of The earthquake
in Costa Rfca are not ypt fully known, it
il now evident that the loss of life has
been greater than was AZ first estimated.
1t is probable that the number Of the
dead will range between 1.500 and 1000.
Tie largest mortality occurred at Car
tago, which had population of about
10000. If the shock had been felt with
equal severity at San Jose, city with
four times as many Inhabitants, of
course a much more distressing story
would have been told AS il is, the event
will long be memorable in the republic
nf which it was the scene and which
has had many experiences Of the kind
before, though the latest disturbance has
probably not been paralleled for many
gears
A good deal of study has been given
TO the problem OF lessening the DANA ge

tier than any other nation In the world
toward finding a solution. She has de-
vised a type of cottage with a sufficient
IL elastic frame 10 withstand severe
shaking. A few buildings OF this class
are said 10 have undergone the test of
experience and to be earthquake proof.

ures are not freproof as we'll. Yet by

EDWARD VII AND AMERICA.

The attitude of the tate King toward
America was properly not regarded as
of primary Importance in estimating his
character and career 4 mans first duty
is to his own land, and the ruler of n
state is chiefly to be judged by bis con-
duct of the affairs of that state. If he
managed them we'll he was good ruler,
whether other nations loved him or not
But as secondary consideration land
naturally has regard for the relations
which existed between a foreign ruler
and itself. and upon them it inevitably
bases some of its sentiments toward him
and toward his memory.
In the present case there is no room
for doubt as to the character of those
relations As Albert Edward, Prince of
Wales. and as Edward VII, King, the
late sovereign was a cordial and unaf-
fected friend of America and of Ameti-
cans His kindly feelings toward this
country doubtless antedated his visit TO
It's shores. having been inspired by the
teachings of his parents. In his mature
life he invariably showed marked hoSp1-
taIity toward American visitors and an
intelligent and sympathetic interest in
American affairs. Even 1T a time when
among a certain set ir England. 10
which he was by no meaus a stranger. il
was fashionable to treat America some
what slightingly. if not with animosity
he never permitted himself to be drawn
into such manifestations. During his
last years as prince and all through his
reign be was a conspicuous. efficient and
active factor in the solution of contr0-
versiaI problems between the two cour-
tries and in the grateful task Of uniting
Great Britain and America with far
more than formal bonds.
If Americans justly accord him place
il history because of his services to his
cwn empire they will V 18th spontaneous
gratitude give him a LASTING place in
their sympathies and affections because
OF his attitude toward their country and
his services in promoting that solidarity
OF the Anglo-SaXon race which is one Of
tie most comforting and encoura ging
features of the international status Of
the world today.

RETIRED WORDS.

From an ariStocratic literary club, the

enthusiasm for numbers the publishers
of these increasingly ponderous tones

THE T4VNEY aMENDMENT.

The provision made by the House Ap-
rrouriations Committee for the continu-
pnca of the work Of the Tarln Board
and the Specific enlargement OF the
duties Of that board TO fit the Presidents
desires and his Interpretation Of the Tar
m Board section of the Payne law are
ii generous confession OF error on the
rart Of the Republican leaders in the
Hnuse Of Representatives. Undoubtedly
the responsibility for the emaSCulatlon OF
the Senate amendment 10 the House
Tariff bill creating a full fiedged tariff
commission rests chiefly on the con-
ferrees representing the House If they
had been broad minded enough last
August 10 accept the Senate amendment
As il stood there could have been no
question as 10 the scope Of the powers
granted 10 the board OF experts which
she President was authorized 70 appoint.
But jealousy OF the interference in tarin
legislation Of an agency attached TO the
executive branch prompted the leaders
In the House, through the conferrees, %
assist in A rewriting of the Senate
amendment which was meant to re1uce
the proposed tariff commission TO
mere nuIlity.
This intention was happily frustrated
nv the fneXpertness OF those who redrew
the Senate amendment. The President
found in the Payne law sufficient au-
fhority 20 set the Tariff Board at work,
not only at ascertaining whether discrim'
ination WAS being made by foreign coui1-
tries against the commerce Of the United
States but ar determining the difference
in cost Of production here and abroad
Of articles subject TO protective duty
The country has heartily sustained the
President in his Interpretation Of the
law and la his purpose TO use the asen-
e-ies proYided by the Payne law to carry
out the pledge Of the Republican national
nlatforn that the difference in cost OF
PRODUCTION here and abroad, with rea-
sonable allowance OF profit TO the domes-
&c producer, shall be the measure OF

AIRY of obsolete words is fated TO contain

let us count the retired words just for
once before we boast of growing totals.
1t is to be feared that in the count we
shall have to include much that made the
strength and dignity of BincO1n's elo-
quence. much that gave weight, direct

so unpretentious a speaker as the late
Senator Orville II. Plat.
And when that new dictionary of obso-
lete words appears. it may be that some
discerning teacher of English will use
it in his work to the exclusion of all
