California for the Recall.

As President Taft enters California
upon his Western trip he will be con-
fronted with the overwhelming decision
of the people of that State to incorpo-
rate the initiative and referendum and
the recall in their new constitution.
They have even included the recall of
judges, a proposition to which Mr. TAFT
is earnestly and emphatically opposed.
1t is not likely that Mr.. Taft will
undertake to advise the people Of Cali
fornia that they have made 4 mistake.
This would be tactless and ungracious
act. At the same time, he cannot help
but feel that his protest in the veto
of the Arizona enabling act fell
upon deaf ears. He must realize that
the voters OF the country think fof
themselves

Regulating Street Traffic.

The trouble with the congestion OF
street traffic at important crossings is
not due to the street cars, which are
confined to tracks and move in regular
order.
The street car companies have gone
to the expense and trouble of having
inspectors stationed at functions during
the rush hours of the day, and these
men direct the movement Of the cars
with great skill and judgment
But when drivers OF horse-drawn We
hicles and automobiles make turns al
their own sweet will and without any
regard for systematic movement; when
heavy, numbering drays and vans occupy
the middle of the street and make pas
sage difficult and dangerous on either
side; when automobiles are driven at
a speed which threatens injury to every
pedestrian-these are matters which
cause trouble and confusion on the
much-traveled thoroughfares.
And these are matters which can be
governed entirely by police regulations.

4 Good Citizen Gone,

From the New York EVe Vening Mail.
Those who best know Cornelius Bliss
will measure most accurately and most
highly the loss to the community and to
them by his death. They knew him as a
man Of splendid and unseltish purpose,
of broad and kindly views and of un-
swerving loyalty to everything that added
to the greatness or glory OF his country.
Mr.. Bliss sought no title save that of citi-
zen, but with intense patriotism and firm
devotion to the right, he saw it, he
sat modestly as counselor and friend in
the circle of those men whose genius for
leadership and achievement is reflected
in the history of the country the past
fifty years. No President since Grants
day ever faced a crisis without calling
upon Mr.. Bliss for suggestion and advice;
few national or State conventions of his
party have been held in which his calm
and farseeing wisdom was not potent

Regulation, Not Abolition.

1t is sincerely to be hoped that the
admiration of one of the railway COM
missioners now in attendance upon the
convention here for the manner in
which the express companies have
mulcted the public will not blind the
eyes of his fellow-commissioners to the
necessity of dealing strictly with those
corporations.
1t is, of course, an evidence of a GER
tain kind of shrewdncss when public
utility corporations can impose upon the
public for many years without molesta-
ton and when they can compel the
banks to cash $6o,ooo,ooo worth OF
money orders without compensation.
Perhaps, too, this peculiar ability ex-
cites the commentator OF some peo-
pie In times past it was accepted with
out protest, but now the attitude of the
public mind is quite difficult. The reg
ulation of railroads by the Interstate
Commerce Commission and the efforts
to dissolve the monopoliStlc cOmblna-
tions known as trusts have educated the
public to view extortion and imposition
with unfriendly eye.
At the same time the railway COM
missioncrs are right in deciding to go
slowly before recommending that the
express companies shall be abolished
and their business be transferred to the
railroads, The express companies Oc-
cupy useful part in the transaction Of
business, and it is doubtful whether the
railroads could take their place, What
is needed is strict regulation with rea-
sonable rates This is 10 be secured

jury could consider such conduct they
must find that these very dogs were ac-
curate, certain. and reliable in following
the trail of human footsteps, and if they
found from the evidence touching the
matter that they Were reliable and ac-

Bloodhound evidence has been regard

Nebraska Supreme Court dismisses such
evidence as incompetent and erroneous. -
Other courts have differed widely as to
the proper foundation upon which to

A Severe Blow at Tammany.

IN unanimously deciding that tht
Levy election law is unconstitutional
the New York Court Of Appeals ha:
dealt a severe blow at Tammany. The
law was passed by a Democratic legis-
Iature through Tammany influence anC
prohibited the placing OF a candidates
name more than once upon a ballot
This was done for the purpose Of pre-
venting any fusion arrangement and
discouraging independent voting. The
statute has been contested from the
date of its enactment.
1t is not surprising that the action
OF the court has cast gloom upon
the Tamnany organization. 1t means
that the Independent Democratic
League and the Republicans who de-
sire a clean and honest government
can now combine and THAI there is no
legal barrier to the effo7t to elect a
fusion candidate. The leaders of Tam
many now confess that they did not
expect the law would stand the test OF
judicial Interpretation, but this does not
lessen the severity of the blow.

that the independents in both parties

Use of boundary Waters.
The commission is the first piece of in
ternational machinery established fOr
the direct negotiation and settlement ot
questions relating to the use of the
DOunddry waters between the United
States and the Dominion Of Canada The
treaty provides. however. that any other
source Of controversy between the Unit.
ed States and Canada may be referred
to the commission. The principal work
however will be in relation to the use
OF the boundary waters.
There are many plans for the use OF
international water other than naviga-
tiOn, and there has been no competent
authority for granting permits and al
the same time properly protecting the
rights Of the people OF both countries.
There are. for instance, schemes pend
ing for developing water power in St.
Johns River, which forms the interna-
tional boundary between Maine and New
Brunswick: for the development of the
RiChilieu River. which is the outlet of
Lake Champlain; for the improvement
and development Of water power in the
1t. Lawrence River between New York
and Ontario. for a sanitary canal around
Niagara Falls on the American side; for
the development of water power in the
Rainy River between Minnesota and On
tariO. and for the use OF the water Of the
St. Marys River and the Milk River in
Montana and Alberta for irrigation.

MRS. PANKHURST ARRIVES.
Great Reception Accorded Her by
FeIIOM-sufTragett

New York, Oct. u.-AIrs. Emmeline
Pankhurst, the noted English suffragette,
accompanied by Miss Mary Pethick. ar
rived from England on the White Star
liner Oceanic to-day, and was given
reception that would do credit to her own
militant countrywomen. Only four men,
bers of the welcoming band were per-
mitted to pass the customs lines, but
hundreds of women stood outside cheer
ing and waving madly purple, white, and
green flags.
Upon landing, Mrs. Pankhurst rushed
into 1.-The midst of the cheering throng,
and for several minutes was lost to view
in the embaces of her enthusiastic fol-
lowers.
Mrs. Pankhurst denied that the suffra-
geytes in England had made a bargain
to remain quiet for a year, the govern
ment at the end of the year to consider
the woman's suffrage bill.
In England, there is a truce at the
present time" she said, but We have
made no bargain. Open hOstiltties have
been dropped, because the premier has
promised US that at the session next year
time enough will be given for a full con-
sideration OF our bill. But II our bill is
not considered fairly, back we go to the
militant Methods
Mrs. Pankhurst said she was bitterly
disappointed over the defeat OF suffrage
in California.

FOR A GREATER SOUTH.
Southern Men Asked TO NatiOnaIizt
Development of Their Section.

Memphis. Tenn. Oct 11.-At the ses-
sion of the Southern Commercial Secre-
taries' Association here to-day. Mr.. G.
GrosvenOr Dave, managing director of
the Southern Commercial Congress, de-
livered an address on The natiosaI as
pect of Southern development"
He asserted that the South was not
yet fully understood. and urged that each
commercial organization in the South ap-
point a committee Of three to correspond
with all similar organizations in the
United States, thus Matchmaking the work
Of developing the South. He insisted that
il was the duty of Southern men to COM
bat the mental slant which existed against
their section and advertise Southern ad-
vantages and possibilities as the West
was doing. He depicted in eloquent fash
ion the work of the commercial congress,
and said that its great work was the
making of greater nation through a
greater South.
