the Thirteen Colonies, he did so as q Brit
ish officer. and his thought was still that
of continued union with Great Britain
ard loyalty to the British crown. The
Union Jack was on his banner at Cam
bridge. Ii was because the logic Of
events was too strong for him that he
became the secessionist and revolutionlst
that he was.
OF vast Importance were the effects
OF the Revolution on British colonial and
imperial policies. On this point the tes-
timony of competent authorities is
strong, while that of accomplished facts
IS conclusive. Since that time no Brit
ish colony has sought TO establish its in
dependence. On the contrary it has
become proverbial that some If not all
of the colonies are more British than
Great Britain itself The American
colonies rebelled against compulsory con-
tributions to the revenues of Great
Britain without representation In British
councils yet to-day colonies far greater
than these were then are voluntarily
vors to Great Britain without any return
whatsoever, and even in the face of Nat
refusal TO make any return.
The explanation of il is obviously that
Great Britain learned most valuable
lesson from our Revolution and has
since been avoiding i'll her colonial adj
ministration the errors which cost her
the loss Of America. 1t is because she
lest America in 171G that she now so
securely holds two great dominions, a
great commonwealth, a great union and
many other colonies. 1t is because the
empire was rent asunder a century and
quarter ago that it now enjoys its
world-embracing integrity. And IL is
one Of the greatest tributes which can
he paid TO the genius of the British ma
ton that from so bitter an experience it
| learned 50 beneiicent a lesson.

Pennsylvania has lost in the death OF
General William II. Koontz a valued
citizen and a politician whose activities
extended back as far as the Republican
National Convention of 1860, to when
lie was a delegate. He sat for two terms
in Congress at the close Of the war. and
more than thirty years later he entered
the State LEGISLATURE for the purpose Of
fighting Quayism and doing what he
could to improve conditions at Harris
burg. He was a man Of high character.
whose first aim in politics was always TO
serve the state.

"IUuEDI4TE" Mr.. CRAM

Public Service Commissioner Cram
believes in living up to the character
given him by Governor Dix. He is for
the immediate" third tracking of the
elevated lines of the InterbOrough
Rapid Transit Company. He insists
upon the immediate" building Of sub
way down Seventh avenue from Add
street, which only the Interborough
Rapid Transit Company could use. He
is going to see that the 5-cent fare
is established to Coney Island "lmme-
Giately." No excuses will serve with
Mr.. j. Sergeant Cram. He is virility
incarnate-wasn't that what the Gov
ernor said in his letter of recommends
ton? With a wave of his hand he ami
bilates obstacles.
What matters it that the INTERIOR
ough Rapid Transit Company has re-
jected the city's terms for third track
ing the elevated roads and for the oper-
alton of a lower West Side subway?
Mr.. Cram would. if necessary, let the
company name its own terms. Any
thing TO accomplish results" Any
thing to get things done Immediately
What matters ii that the courts would
probably have something to say about
scent fare to COney Island order in
view Of the Public Service Commissions
finding that such a fare would be I'M
profitable? Would the courts dare TO
stand up before Cram? What the world
needs is more Grams. Everything is too
slow. If Cram had had the original job
Of creating the earth and all that there
in is instead of laboring six days and
resting the seventh he would have done
it all Immediately
