JETOES.

The President of the United States Is
going 10 receive the same treatment as
the English House of Lords. Such is
the threat of the Ion. ollie James, OF
Kentucky, who asserts that this veto
"power Is an Inheritance Of royalty; it
lis undemocratic and un-American.'
Only It is not TO be supposed that Mr.
james would leave in the Presidency
the power which the English constitu'
tional reformers have left in the second
chamber, namely. that Of suSpendlng
legislation and forcing its consideration
for two years. Two years. Why, Mr.
james is angry because the President
has compelled Congress to wait three
months in regard to tariff legislation.
1t is undemocratic, indeed, and un-
American that one man should he per-
mitted to block the will or the people
rs expressed through Mr.. La Toilette
and Mr.. Underwood, 1t is as bad as
when a court, some one judge perhaps.

With the people exercising the initia-

Congress III the straight and narrow

over the Presidency and over the courts,
Mr.. James would never have occasion

Edwin ID. Meade, of Boston, secretary OF
the Worlds Peace Foundation, declared
that Germany was making strides forward
in favor OF international peace. lie SAID
also that the people Of Europe had oeeh
watching with expectancy the negotiation
Of the arbitration treaties between the
United States and Great Britain and France
Few Americans, he thought realized the
profound feeling these treaties have aWak-
ened in Europe, and If they fail of ratifica-
ton after the high hopes that have been
raised for their passage I'VE shall be re-
garded almost as having broken faith with
civilization"
Mr.. Meade IS spending month In Ger
many, making addresses at various places
on the peace Increment. He says that while
he finds the organized peace movement In
Germany far behind that Of the United
States and Great Britain with regard to
influence and resources, nevertheless he has
been impressed by its marked advance In
educational circles.
Within the year, Mr.. Meade says inter-
national peace clubs, with large member
ships, have been organized in the universe

the universities of Gottingen. Munich and
other places soon will follow this lead.

HOME rule PRECEDENTS.

The practical certainty that bill
granting Home Rule to Ireland will be
Introduced IN the British Parliament
within the next few months, and the
probability that it will become law be-
fcre the expiration Of the present Par
lament. pique curiosity as TO what it
will provide and suggest review of the
provisions of those former Home Rule
bills to the enactment of which the
Liberal Unionlsts in the Commons and
the Unionists IN the House of Lords
proved insuperabe obstacles
The first Home Rule bill, in 1856. ex-
Guided the Irish from representation at
Westminster and practically repealed
the Union The second, in 1898, re-
tanned Irish members at Westminster,
but In reduced numbers, and at first for
babe Irish members TO take part in
legislation affecting only England, Wales
or Scotland, hut Mr.. Gladstone after
ward withdrew that restriction, so that
the bill as it was finally sent to the
Lords and was rejected by them permit
ted Ireland to participate in and per-
haps control legislation for Great
britain. while it excluded Great Britain
from all legislation for Ireland There
seems 10 be n general expectation that
the bill which is now TO be introduced
will in that respect resemble the re.
ylsed form Of Mr.. Hadstone's, and will
give Ireland a voice in British legisla-
ton. but Britain none In lreland's.
In view of the strong movement for
single chamber legislation, I'm which the
Irish have joined, ii is OF interest TO
recall that both Of Mr.. GladstOne's plans
contemplated an Irish Parliament Of two
coordinate houses. Under the first bill
they were known rs First and Second
Orders, and usually were 10 sit and vote
together; and the First Order was for
thirty years 20 consist in part Of peers.
Under the second bill the two houses
were 10 be quite separate and both wele

the Irish Parliament was invested with

insistence Of the Unlonist Opposition,
that the imperial Parliament should re.

"MlNY INIENTLONS."

The revival of the controversy, IL 50
IL may still he called, over the claim of
the late Theodore Ruggles Timby To he
regarded as the inventor Of the revolving
turret for warships is chiefly interesting
as All illustration Of the manner in
which many great inventions have been
Of doubtful originality and of the diff
ficulty of always determining precisely
TO whom and TO what extent credit for
them should he given. In the present
c2Se il seems probable that Timby did
conceive the idea Of Il revolving turret,
though there is no convincing proof that
he did so in advance Of Ericsson. and
indeed we are told that he did not add
that supremely essential feature 10 his
proposed gunhOat until II had been
brought to Ericsson's attention. 1T is
entirely conceivable that the same idea
occurred TO each of the inventors, quite
independently of the other: or that the
one had it in an incomplete and imprIc-
teal form and the other completed ii
ard made 1t practical.
The latter has unquestionably been
the case with a number of important N
ventions. Fulton, for example was not
n purely original inventor Of the steam
boat 4 dozen others had preceded him.
and steamboats, had piled the waters NJ
the Fulda, the Seine and the Delaware
years before the Clermont ploughed the
waters of the Hudson. Yet the world
Justly awards to Fulton the honor Of
having made the steamboat so practical
as to insure IFS general adoption and
the consequent revolution In the art Of
navigation. So Morse did not follow an
unbazed trail in reaching success with
the telegraph. Others had conceived
the idea before, but 1t was left for him
TO combine the good features and elm
ilate the errors of various devices In n
practical and successful machine of his
own. There Is no detraction from the
honor and gratitude due TO those and
other great inventors in recognizing such
facts We do not dishonor Columbus In
admitting that Left Ericsson came to
America centuries before him: for. after
all. il was Columbus who made the dis.
covery Of America OF practical impor-
lance to the world.
We might 60 further and say that in
many and perhaps most cases II is impos.
sible to trace an invention back TO It's
ultimate origin. Before Fulton was
Symington, and before Symlngton was
Fitch, and before Fitch was Jouffroy.
and before JouffrOy were IIulls and
Papin and Blasco de Gary before whom
there were others. Watt Is commonly
regarded as the Inventor Of the steam
engine, but before him in inverse sue
cesslon were Newcomer, Papin, Savery.

Porta. and others back 10 Hero Of Alex

slate il ont of existence by repeating
the Home Rule law. II seems doubttnl
II such proviso will be put into me
new bill. and quite out OF the question
that it would ever he used to that OK
IRENE extent.
Both Of Mr.. Gladstone's Home Ruie
bills forbade the Irish Parliament 10
legislate concerning customs. but re-
served the matter Of tariffs for the I'M
perial body. That was fine reminder
OF Mr.. Gladstone's passionate attach
ment to free trade and hatred OF any
thing savoring of protection, ana MS
consequent unwillingness to permit any
country which had once known the saw
Ing grace Of CObdenism TO revert, even
ar its own desire. to the gall and bond
age Of protective tariff. The excise
duties were also to remain under I'm
perial control. II such provisions are
iicluded In the new bill there may be
some dissatisfaction. since many IRISH
men earnestly desire the establishment
of tariff system which will aid in the
restoration Of those Irish industries
which they believe to have been sacri-
feed 10 the fetch of British free trade.
Finally, it was provided that appeal
might be made from the Irish Parlia-
ment to the Privy Council on consttu-
tional matters and that the judicial
Committee Of the Council might declare
an act void. That was, Of course, q
striking contrast to the British system,
since no British judge can declare an
act Of Parliament unconstitutional or
call it into question.
A review of these salient features of
past schemes, and comparison Of them
with present aspirations and conditions,
suggest that the framing and enact
ment of q new Home Rule bill which will
be satisfactory to all factions Of the
Liberal Laborite Nationalist coalition
will not he an easy task, and may be
marked with very grave embarrass-
ments.

THE CHARTER THAT RIPS.


The Democratic Legislature was at its
best. because 1t was most normal and
natural, in passing ripper bills There
was a generous output of that class OF
legislation. too, but of all that became
law there was no specimen so gorgeous,
SO splendid, so finely calculated to rip
and rend and tear, politically speaking
as the proposed Gaynor-Tammany char
ter for New York City.
This ripper charter intends TO take
from certain officials elected 10y the
voters Of this city i'll 1909 powers the
people expected them TO exercise, and
gives those powers and others to officials
whom the people did not expect to exer-
else them The trainers Of this charter,
that is. want the Legislature to over
ride the will Of the people as expressed
NJ the ballot box. Tammany is in the
majority in the Legislature; 1t was not
at the ballot box. This charter rips
from the Controller power to audit pay
ments amounting to about S1SOOO0,0OO
year. 1t gives TO the Mayors heads
Cf departments, who spend the money,
and to the Municipal Civil Service Com
mission, appointed by the Mayor, power
to audit these payments. This charter
rips from the Board Of Estimated
fusion body-control of the subway sit
uation by giving to the Mayor power to
block the adoption of new routes and
the letting Of contracts for subway oper-
alton. 1t rips from the Board Of EST
mate and confers on the Mayor impor-
tant functions regarding the making of

Borough Presidents much of their func-
tons as TO borough Improvements, and
rips them from their seats in the Board

the Governor his power to remove Oh
