ELECTION VIEWS.



From the New York World
There is hope for Mr. Taft A man Of
his character and ability, with two years
yet to serve in the greatest of elective
offices. is in a position TO do important
things II he will. He has made mistakes
which can be retrieved. He has been
guided by false or unwise advisers who
can be discarded He can put aside reso-
lutely the idea that he owes anything to
anybody except the people OF the United
States, who placed him where he is In
word, he can reeast and remake his ad-
ministration.
This can be done by prompt and gem
erous recognition on his part of the
manifest viii OF the people. They want
reform. They want justice. They want
economy. They want peace. They want
an orderly enforcement OF the laws
against individual offenders. They want
relief from extortionate tariff taxation.
They want light upon the sugar frauds.
the Panama scandal. the Philippine land
job, the Alaska exploitation, the Bal
linger muddle, and the influences that
mark up tariffs when parties and candi-
dates promise that they shall be marked
down.

The Lords Sustained.

The sO-calied veto conference has failed
Premier Asqulth so announced at London
Friday night after a meeting OF the
cabinet. without giving any further rea-
son than that the conference, which has
been sitting to consider a constitutional
question. has ended without arriving at
an agreement
One thing we are exceedingly glad to
note. Mr.. Balfour leader OF the opposi-
ton. as soon as the result was made
known, announced that neither ''devclu-
ton" nor an imperial parliament had
formed part of the discussion. This is
the ray of sunshine. the post nubna
Phoebus" of this setback TO reform in
England.
The question now is remanded to the
vote OF the people for settlement, and
an election. under the circumstances,
cannot be far of. We are pretty safe in
predicting II for next January. The issue,
in broader terms. will be the same as that
submitted to the voters last January,
when the rejection of the Lloyd-George
budget by the lords forced a new cleo
ton.
Since that election the issue has been
so enlarged that when it comes before
the people now it viii involve a decision
as to whether there shall be an upper
chamber in Great Britain that shall be a
powerful factor IN Iawmaking, or one
that shall be nothing but constitutional
shadow.
It appears that the project of the
Liberal conferees. giving 10 the House
Of Commons lnality In deciding appro-
priation bills. was the main rock upon
which the conference split. The plan of
the Radicals. to let the decision of the
Commons be final in all general legisla-
ton, OF course. only tended TO preeipitate
the outcome. The Conservatives even
refused to listen 10 a clause to let any
bill become law automatically If sent 10
the Lords three times by the Commons
and rejected every time. The plan to
submit differences between the two
houses TO joint committee Of arbitra-
ton, the majority of which should be
selected by the Commons. summarily was
disposed Of by the Conservatives, who
denounced such a tribunal as packed
in advance
Taking the action Of the conferees as
a criterion, any forecast seems hazard
Gus. While a majority of the British
voters may be satisfied that the Commons
should dominate in all matters of appro-
priation, it may be equally possible that
they are not quite ready to deprive the
upper house Of all its legislative powers.
1t is now up to the British voters-to
paraphrase a famous saying of Morley
before he was made a peer-to either

that Washington win do its part gener-
ously, fundamentally, and promptly.

Business After the Election.

We take the view that the results of
this years elections ought to have a re-
assuring effect upon the Industrial and
trade interests OF this country. IN fact.
there are two aspects which are par
ticularIy reassuring. it would seem.
The Democrats have won such a VIC
tory as has come to them by putting for
ward as their leading candidates men of
a higher type than those in whom they
had been conhding since the administra-
ton OF President Cleveland. That is one
reason.
The other salutary effect that may be
expected as the result OF the elections is
new leadership in the Republican party.
forcing 1t to a policy of steady aim for
progress in behalf of all, not only classes,
but masses as we'll. for was it not the
masses who taught the party its lesson
last weaknesses who have not forgot
ten that after all the ultima ratio" lies
in their hands by sheer force of numerical
superiority at the polls?
There has been a reaction against boss
ism," which. long undisturbed. has been
masquerading as political leadership with
its baneful influence upon party welfare,
ending in open revolt against such arbi-
trary guidance. when the old manner of
tariff making by an alliance Of favored
interests, with a logroIllng by the bene-
hoiaries of different schedules, was carried
TO success.
There is no reason TO expect a relaxa-
ton of the policy Of regulation for the
powerful agencies engaged in interstate
commerce or OF restraint upon great CON-
blnations of capital with view to curing
or preventing abuses OF powers injurious
to the smaller forces OF industry. But
there is a hope that the policy viii be
administered. and extended. If necessary.
in a greater spirit of evenhanded Justice
and strict regard for equity. Regulation.
as well as restraint. should be made con-
structive and helpful not disturbing and
destructive. Radicalism has it's place IN
melting progress. but conservatism is
needed in directing 1t into the right
channel.
In considering the future from any
standpoint. it is necessary TO remark upon
the part our only ex-President has taken
In bringing about the change. No doubt
he did contribute powerfully 10 the aWak-
enlng Of the people to the necessity of
overcoming abuses and moving toward a
policy Of progress. But he did also mag
Nifty too much the controlling power of a
central government TO correct wrongs and
enforce rights by direct interference of
its own agencies.
1t is not the least of the gratifying re-
suits Of the elections that It may put a
check upon his method Of proceeding IN
wrath and violence TO promote peace and
safety. Let US hope also that it will
teach our ex- President the true measure
of his own place and Importance in the
republic which he served so well at a
time when his many me qualities were
