House of Governors, which began at
Frankfort, Ky, today, and continues
four days longer in Louisville, viii be
attended not only by the incumbent
chief executives of various States but
by the governors-eIect, several of whom
have been very much in the public eye.
Among them viii be John A. Dix and
Woodrow Wilson.
The plans and purposes OF these an
nuaI conferences have been warmly
commended. Thoughtful men have
seen in them a solution of many of the
vexatious questions incident to the
limited and conflicting spheres Of State
and Federal Government Uniform
laws, agreed upon by the House Of
Governors and urged upon the Legisla-
lures OF the. respective States, would in
many instances cut the ground from
under those who have cOnteaded for
greater Capitalization
The program of the conference pre-
sents many subjects Of special interest
On Wednesday "Tbe Governor; His
Power and Responsibilities viii be
the principal topic. Conservation Of
natural resources within the State Will
open up a broad field on Thursday.
The income tax, direct primaries, and
the work Of the conference for the
coming year viii be taken up on Fri
day, while on the next and closing
day of the session the election Of
Senators by the people and the cor
rupt practices act viii be considered
Special interest attaches TO what
Woodrow Wilson will haze to say of
The Possibilities Of the Governors
Conference" and John A- Dix's treat
ment Of Conservation Within the
State
The Indications are that interest in
the daily session will be keen through
out the whole country

WILHELMAND DIVINE
RIGHT OF KINGS.

Kaiser Wilhelm has been getting into
fresh trouble over his assertion OF a
continued belief in the divine right OF
kings. It is not the first time he has
stirred up the feelings OF his subjects
on this question Following an in
discreet outbreak two years ago. how
ever, the Kaiser approved a statement
given out by the chancellor in the
reichstag in which the wish was ex-
pressed that greater reserve be dis
played in the future in making such
utteranees-
But apparently forgetting about this,
the Kaiser made a speech recently at a
provincial dinner at KoenigsbsTg in
which he startled everybody by his
declarations on divine right and his
insistence that it was by the viii of
God the HohenzoIlerns had been set
to rule over Germany.
1t is not a particularly healthy time
for the assertion of the doctrine Of
divine right. America is not the only
country in which there Is insurgency.
A king has just been chased from his
throne, never TO return, in Portugal.
In Spain, there have been such symp-
toms OF revolutionary tendencies as to
alarm royalty. Even IN England,
where the rule of the monarch rests
but lightly, there were angry mutter-
ings the other day when it was repre-
scented that King George had deter
mined to side with the lords against
the people
The outburst of the Kaiser was fol-
lowed up by bitter speeches in the Ger
man reiehstsg, railing at the notion OF
divine right and batting Of t.4s En-
peror in terms that would be deemed
extraordinary If heard in our own
Congress with reference to a President
Herr Ledebour, a gifted socialist, de-
cIared that instead OF the ancestors o.

FAR-REACHING Effect OF
THE CRIPPEN TRIAL.

The same expedition and absence Of
sensatiOnaIsm that marked the trial
Of DR.. Crippen for the murder of his
wife Characterized the infection of the
death penalty Notwithstanding the
case has interested the people of Eng
land more tran any crime committed
in many years, the courts have dis
posed Of. it in as businesslike way,
with as little fuss and feathers as
would have marked many trials in
the police courts here
The precision, the CELEBRITY, the COM
mon-sense way in which the English
courts have handled the case have pro
duced decided impression, at least on
laymen, in this country ard have left
something more than an impression
that our courts can eliminate a great
deal Of the delay, the notoriety, the
expense, and the many other objec-
tionabIe features that are now the
invariabIe compartments of any trial
which happens to stir up public inter
est to an unusual degree.

AMERICAN DOLLARS IN BRIT

Politics is pretty much the same sort
Of an institution the world over In
England at present the conservatives.
driven into corner and facing defeat.
have adopted much the same sort OF
tactics that a political party or fac
ton in the United States would adopt
under the same circumstances. They
are trying 10 dodge the main issue
the reform OF the house of Iords-by
raising other issues to blind the cleo
torate
The latest CRY of the conservatives
is American Dollar Dietation." They
charge that the Irish nationalists have
raised a campaign fund Of S25OOOO in
America to use IN their own campaign
and in the campaign of the liberals to
retain control OF the house OF com
mons
just why the aristOcraey Of Eng
land should be Mortified at the influx
Of a paItry quarter Of a million of
American dollars Is somewhat difficult
for US on this side to understand Such
resentment comes in singularIy bad
grace from a nation whose nobility. in
the past quarter Of a century. has
been glad to rehabilitate itself with
S50,OO0,000 IN the shape of dowries
from American fathers-in-law. The
aristocratic landowners have shown
no shame in accepting ss0,OOO,OOO in
the last twenty years in the shape OF
rents from Irish tenants, who have
received that amount from relatives in
the United States and have thereby
been able to meet the demands of their
exacting landlords.
If the liberals are alive to their
oPportunities-and there is every evi-
dence that they are-they viii turn

ton" into boomerang that viii inHict

tives than on the liberals and Irlsh

other system OF selecting committees
viii be established
Yet in the face OF this, the Demo
cratic leaders in the House are, Win
certain noteworthy exceptions, trying
to sidestep this question. Why they
should lag behind and permit the IN
surgents to get the credit for reform
ing the method of committee selection
Is not easy to see, unless it be true, as
freely alleged, that Champ Clark has
tied himself up with promises OF com
mittee places and now wants to de
liver the goods
Mr. Clark and his lieutenants might
as well get on the band wagon. At
present there are a few front seats
left, but they viii not long be vacant
