CORONATION ISSUES.

The coronation issues are given a
queer turn by the press of the Cana =
dian cities. They first had a little
humorous gliding at the possibility of
the officers of the Canadian navy at
tending in a body; then there was
discussion Of the rank of city NAV
ors and their claim to be regarded as
special guests in the most comical
vein: and now the OTTAWA Free Press
and The Citizen is arguing whether
the city's address to King George ON
the occasion Of his coronation is to
cost one cent or two cents postage
We Americans lima gfned that such an
engrossed document was enclosed in
jeweled case of gold and taken
thence BY commissioners and present
ed formally and with becoming dir
nifty; but this issue is over whether
the postal envelope carrying this able
address shall be open or sealed--cost
one cent or two cents postage. This
IS the way the Ottawa Citizen closes
an editorial upon this important sub
ject:
We are sure that Postmaster Gouiu
would not peruse a postcard. let alone
"a communication intended for his ma :
Jesty. even IL it was not sealed But
nevertheless. it is a we'll known fact
that all postInasters and mistresses
are not as scrupulous on these points
as the genial. energetic and competent
director Of his majestys mails at the
capital. Perhaps. on the whole. il
would be as well to accept the sug
zestion of our esteemed. contemporary
and place a two-cent stamp on the
address. The envelope might also be
sealed in case the weight of the seal

cation to weigh more than an ounce. in
which case "A new danger would arise. .,

VIEWS or AN OPPONENT or REC.
rPRocrYY

The New York Evening Post has
published very interesting estimate
of President Taft. given by senator
who is opposed to reciprocity with
Canada. This is what the senator
says:
Il can say this though l am opposed
to the, agreement. Its provisions do
violence to my economic and political
principles. 1 recognize. however, that
pypbably a majority of the people in
this country are in favor of it's enact
ment. l think President Taft is per-
fectiy right when he calls it popular
measure and asserts that there is a
strong, sound, public sentiment in ia
vor of its adoption. This being true,
as L believe it is. why has not Presi-
dent Taft received more public credit
apd more public praise?
soon after Mr. Taft became presi-
dent he signed a tariff law which he
did not approve and which did not
coincide with his campaign pledges.
Before he had accepted the tariff bill
that he didn't like, Mr. Taft had in
ducsd the senate to enact a corporation
tax law which hardly member of the
senate favored. l never saw that done
before Now, apparently. Mr.. Taft is
on the verge OIL repeating the eAperi-
ence More than a majority of the
senate is opposed to Canadian reci-
procity, Notwithstanding the public
sentiment in favor of it Yet / be-
lieve that We will give it our approval
and that the agreement will so TO Mr..
Taft as he desires it without amend
ment 1t cannot be said that we will
do it through fear, favor. or hope OF
reward, so far as the president is con-
cerned.
Il know that what President Taft
told that delegation of Changers the
other day is true and that he Is not
considering his political fortune in
pressing Canadian reciprocity SO far
as 1 have been able to ascertain. he
does not consider his political fortune
in rels ito nto any other proposal or
action of his To cap 1t all, his re-
nomination seems assured and inevita-
BILE. and yet / don't know a single re-
publican of consequence in the senate
or out of 1t who believes that Mr. Taft
can be reelected. 1t is a curious and

CREATING A GOOD FEELING.

The new president of the Missouri
Pacific railroad believes in the reg
ulation of public service companies by
the government In a recent inter
view, he said:
THE public should have something
to say regarding the laws under which
the railroads operate. After all, the
railroads are created by the public and
the public should control their crea-
lures. When the interstate commerce
commission was first created and an
nounced certain rules under which
railroads should operate, there was a
general outcry from railroad officials.
To man, they opposed the idea of
any public commission interfering in
their private business. We now know
that a railroad is a public. not a pri-
vate business. And some of us have
concluded that the public has a right
to control railroads and other corpora
tons. ! see, from newspapers that
James J. Hill. the Great Northern
magnate, recently came out for public
control; President Nudge of Rock Is
land did likewise; President Vail of
American Telephone and Telegraph
took the very strongest of stands along
that line in his recent annual report
TO his board of directors, in which he
demanded complete acquiescence in the
control Of public commissions All
those things 90 towards making good
feeling between the railroads and the
people.
II believe in keeping the public in
formed of those matters which con-
Germ the public; in fact the idea of
publicity of corporation affairs will
hereafter find an advocate in Missouri
Pacific.
The railroad manager who does not
recognize the justice of mutually in
public service today is an old fossil
even among railroad managers
