December in an effort to recover what
they had lost, they lost what they
had saved.
Tho overthrow. or the Lords and
their practical destruction with their
own sanction is not a. blow for demo-
cratic government In any true sense.
The Lords, or most OF them, arc not
degenerate sons OF noble sires.
More than half OF them have been
elevated to tho peerage since the ac-
cesson of Victoria, and most OF them
hold their place BY right OF wortl, and
not OF birth. Their destruction, or
their transformation into a strictly
representative body, chosen by the
party In power, may put such land-rich
Lords as the Duke Of Sutherland out
of ONCE but 1t will also put away
many men whose brain and conserva-
.tism has kept England from the mael-
strom of socialism.

CUTTING our pupLrclry.

The Senate has cut the publicity fca-
sture out OF the corporation tax bill
on the ground that It would work 4
hardship upon corporations In compc-
tition with firms organized as CON-
panies. This is reasonable business
objection. rhe provision that the re-.
turns shall be made public only upon
order of the President, when he deems
it for the public interest. is certainly
as far as the law should go in that
direction. and even that would be a
tremendous power to lodge in the
hands of some Presidents we have
known. If the corporations had al
ways been exactly fair in their deal
8ings with the tax collectors they
would have heen spared much hurtful
1cgislation: but that is no reason why
tho Government should be provided
with maui to drive them out OF bus
mess or to make them "let down for
campaign expenses.

4 REAL REVOLUTION,

The English have no eye and no
instinct for the dramatic. They do
not even know what Roosevcltian
situation or Cannonical melodrama
Hooks like. They move slowly, and
when they have a fine Situation
they generally let it fall flat like the
last act Of n Pinero drama. Even
when they, had rousing Parliamen-
tary campaign last January, they
spent their time in placarding
the walls aid Informally debating,
without even calling the government
a gang Of thieves or he opposition a
nest of malcontents. They do not know
how TO advertise their political excite
ment.
Since Parliament has met tho Eng
lish have been making radical changes
In the fundamental principles ofthclr
! government which would have caused
q storm In France or a revolution In
Germany. They have changed the en- :
tire basis of their legislative body
and have made no more ado about It
than If they had levied an additional
hapenny tax on Indian opium.

BATTERY DAN AND HIS TYPE.

Battery Dan Finn lies dead III New
York, and the system which !ic{rcprc-
scented should be on the same. l.ier
Finn was a ward politician. loyal per-
haps to his friends AMI unfalterirg in
his allegiance to Tammany, but he
belonged to the worst element In New
York politics. He may have dis
charged his duties with reasonable
degree of fidelity. but his right to dis
charge those duties vas based upon
ignorancc, insolence and corruption In
city government.
Finn came from the bottom. Com
ing to this country as a child, he took
to the water, and served his youth as
a longshoreman on the East River.
After the war he entered politics and
opened saloon. The two worked to-
gethcr we'll His politics aided his
saloon and his saloon aided his poll
tics. In addition, Finn was a bruis-
er--ready to fight at the drop Of
a hat and never willing to abide by
the rules laid down by .lle Marquis OF
Queensberry or any other marquis. He
fought to the finish. rs
Firms bar and lrinn's fist and Finn's
indomitable will soon found a place in
East Side politics, until Mcclellan, the
champion Of a clean city rule. put
Finn into Office as police Judge. He
gave Finn the place not because Finn
knew the law or5-was particularly fit-
ted to administer justice, but because
Finn had done his duty TO Tamn,any
and had to be cared for
Finn in Office did not forget ISinn's
business or the men who had made his
business. Commissioned Bingham pro-
tested again and again That X was
useless to try LIQUOR case in Finn's
court, and the Excise Commissioners OF
his district declared In court that Finn
acquitted 895 per cent Of tho men who
came before him for violations OF the
! sliquor laws. Finn would not go
against his kind Towards the end OF
! his career an effort was. made to
evict him from office, but in his de-
clnins health, his enemies would not
push the case. He died without
knowing that justice. however elayed
was awaiting him.

The Big Stone Gap Post SAYS that
