OF th"' report or the discretion OF the
reported declaration; but there can be
no doubt that the question is q serious
one, and there certainly appears TO oe
nc reason why the United States should
recede in the least degree from the posi-
ton which 1t has taken. But the whole
matter would be disposed of equitably
and amicably by the acceptance OF Alr.
knoX's plan
Again. there is the question of addi-
Honal railroads in Manchuria. here
can be no doubt that they are needed
for the development Of the country. But
we all know how strenuously Japan re-
Gently opposed the construction of one
line. which she contended would com
pete with that which she now tenn
porarily controls, and there is reason
for supposing that Russia regards with
like disfavor the plan for +he Chin
chow-Tsitsihar- Aigun railroad. 1t would
be intClerable TO declare that no more
railroads should be built in that part Of
China for the next quarter of century,
in order that Russia and Japan might
enjoy n monopoly of transportation; yet
that seems to be the intimation Of those
powers.
1t is to be hoped that the reported
declinations will not prove to be final,
but will be found susceptible of recon-
sideration and reversal. If not, the
course of the United States would ap-
pear to be plain. That is, to stand reso-
lutely by the principle of the open door,
of equality of opportunity and privilege
of all powers in China and Of the terri
torial and administrative integrity Of
the Chinese Empire. And that principle
unmistakably implies the maintenance
of our present attitude at Harbin. the
exercise of China's rights to build other
railroads in Manchuria and Mongolia
and the acquisition of the existing roads
by China at the appointed time. If the
doing of these things should be made
less easy by the refusal Of the powers
to accept the plan which Mr.. Knox de-
signed for its facilitation. the fault
would not rest at our doors.

per cent on $55.612.345. and they fell
nearly 100000 short of the sum esti-
mated in the gas suit as the probable
earnings under the So-cent law.
This does not necessarily mean that
the test of the law which the Supreme
Court held must be made before it
would Gecide upon its constitutionality
has resulted adversely to it. AS we
have seen, the valuation of $55,612, ,345
was only tentative, and the court init
mated its opinion that ii was too high.
And, moreover, from the earnings of the
company sum has been deducted "for
reserves and contingencies" the amount
Of which is not stated. Into the pro-
priety of that deduction court would
have TO inquire if the results of this
years operations were to be taken be-
fore 1t ia q test of the law. The result
of the years test is disappointing, never
tEeleSs, from the point Of view of profit
under the new law. The lowered price
has evidently not stimulated consump-
ton TO anything like the extent ex-
-pected. Mr.. Cortelyou, indeed. reports
that the average consumption to the
meter has not increased. The total sales
of gas increased only 81 per cent, an
advance which would be largely ac-
counted for by the growth of popula-
ton and business in the city.
New-York tribune., 1910-01-25
PERVERTED LOYALTY.

A Republican Representative in Con-
gress is credited in The Tribune's
Washington dispatches with this state
ment:
My attitude is this: I have received
every consideration from Speaker Can
non and am with him to the death. So
long as he is candidate will work for
him. I would be the originator of in
gratitude and disloyalty if I did other
wise. even though it cost me my seat In
Congress.
That looks a good deal like loyalty on
an inverted base If the Speaker is the
agent and servant Of the majority of
the House, as he says he is, his oblga
ton to his associates is greater than
theirs to him. He should be at least as
faithful to their interests and the in
terests Of their constituents as they
can be expected to be to his personal
fortunes. The Representative quoted
adopts the tone of member Of the
Cabinet or some other appointive Of
ficer expressing devotion to his chief
But he does not owe his seat and
should not owe his opportunity to legis
late to any Speaker, who is, after all,
only colleague, not a master. A mem
ber's chief duty is to his constituency,
and he does not perform that duty fully
If he feels willing to court rejection by
his constituents rather than fail in per-
sonal fidelity to the representative of
another constituency temporarily acting
as Speaker of the House.

NEW VANDERBILT CHARITY.
Mrs. w. K, Sr., Said To Be Planning
Aid for Children.

Mrs William X. Vanderbilt, sr.. made
her second visit to the Childrens Court
yesterday. This visit. following so soon
uI.on the first in company with two friends.
gave rise to a rumor which was started
for the care and instruction OF defective
about to give a large sum for this new
charity.
DIR. Henry l.. Shively. who superintended
the spending of sl,00O.0co in the erection OF
the model tenement houses for consump-
tive families, given by Mrs. Vanderbilt. is
said to be interested in the enterprise.
Edward V. w. Rossiter. who is associat-
ed with the Vanderbilts In administering
the family estate. said he was not aware
of the contemplated work.
Mrs. Vanderbilt herself said:
''I prefer not TO say anything for publi-
cation"
According to the report. the institution
Mrs. Vanderbilt had in mind is somewhat
In the nature OF a departure. The idea is
not for hospita! for boys affected to the
extent of being feeble nor those classi-
hed as kleptomaniacs. but an institution
exclusively for boys who have not had the
right sort of educational training AS an
adjunct or feature of the hospital-home.
