one. in the direction of noble and beneii-

AS II affects only the big employer. how

problem To create universal cooperative

recompense all who help this government

to be brought to a uniform standard all

THE NEW MAN.

An event worthy Of more attention
than it has received in the serious jour
mails of the land Is the change I'm the
male figure. Changes in the female fig
ure are ordinary occurrences. 1t is
shaped like an hourglass one year and
like a Stovepipe the next Latterly IL

that is, one standing upon It's apex Such
utter transformations occasion no sur
prise. But the male figure had been be-
lieved to be as constant, as unalterable
in its outlines as if it had been hewn OF
granite, when, 10 it is something totally
different The fashion journals speak of
the change as the marrow shoulder"
They might almost without exaggeratioH
speak of it as the disappearance of the
shoulder.
The effect is most marked in this sea

THE TALK or THE DAY.

Chief of Police Regan Of Buffalo, after
studying the report that forgeries In this
country amount TO something like S5,OO,cO
a year, has come to the conclusion that nc
has hit upon a remedy. III the banks IN
sisted upon finger-print impressions In ad-
dition to signatures Of depositors there
would be absolutely no chance for sue
cessful forgery" says Regan. THE sys-
tom is being used everywhere by the police
departments. in the navy and in foreign
countries. While II is really something
comparatively new. II is not new. 1t has
been learned that II was used in China
three thousand years ago. Wherever II has
been tried IL has been found a success.
There is considerable skepticism about the
reliability OF the flnger-print system. but
it's trustworthness can be demonstrated
to the satisfaction of every man who will
take tho time and trouble to have IT dem
onstrated TO him"

SEGREGATING THE ORE ROADS.
The Commissioner of Corporations in
his report upon the steel industry sug-
cests that it may be necessary to "Segre-
cate" the ore carrying roads from the
ownership of the Steel Corporation But
If is difficult TO see where anything
would he gained by that policy which
cannot he accomplished through the rig
orouS regulation of those roads and their
rates by public authority. The objection
to the present ownership is chiefly 4
matter of rates. The Commissioner $
report says of segregation that ut would
thus stop what is unquestionably m
"cvil. and that is the imposition of hign
rates upon competitors shipments,
(which puts them at great disadvan-
"tage, while at the same time, forcing
chem by reason of this very fact to con-
tribute unduly to the profits of the Steel
"CorpOratiOn on transportation.
But regulation would do all this. The
Steel Corporation itself pointed the way
toward n cure Of the evil, if it has not
already cured the evil, when in response
to criticisms il cut the rates upon iron
ores charged by its railroads. The Inter
state Commerce Commission could deter
mine what is the proper charge for thus
service and order its adoption. Then
councillors would be as well off as they
would be if the ore carrying roads were
in independent hands.
For the sake Of preventing discrlmina-
tion of one kind and another the control
of railroads and industries should be kept
distinct wherever this Is feasible. IL
was this consideration that prompted
the enactment Of the commodities clause
OF the Hepburn act. But railroads fire.
Ouently have owed their origin TO the
needs of industrial concerns and to the
enterprise Of those interested in them.
Mr.. Carnegie once threatened 10 build
railroads for the use of his mills. Other
mill owners and mine owners have built
them, and perhaps will continue TO build
them or they will not he built at all. II
ths country holds roads thus built and
owned IN the same standards of public
service to which II holds those whose
origin is different it will probably he do.
ing all that is practicable for the pro.
lection Of the public.

CBOOSTyG THE DELEGATES.

The special committee Of the Repub-
Iican state Committee which has been
irving TO find out how delegates to the
Republican National Convention ought TO
be elected this year may have good
grounds for reporting In favor of follow
ING the plan heretofore in vogue. II may
be that there arc too many practical diff
ficulties in the way of holding direct
elections for delegates in the newly Gre
ated Congress districts under the guild
ance of a somewhat confusing primary
law.
II should be understood, however, that
district delegates are 10 he chosen inde-
pendently by the districts without any
reference to the distinct and separate ac-
ton Of the state convention, called TO
name delegates-at-large In one account
of the conclusions reached by the sub
committee It was stated that their plan
was substantially to have the delegates
10 the state convention from each Con
cress district meet and select two dele
gates and two alternateSs That is the
Democratic method, but it lacks the sane
tion of Republican practice, and it is not
the method followed in the state for
many years.
Republican national conventions have
vigorously denied the right of state con
yentions to interfere in any way with
district delegates, and have done every
thing possible TO divorce the action Of
the state convention from the action Of
the district conventions. In order TO pro
serve the autonomy of the district, calls
for Republican national conventions in
recent years have provided that a dis
trict's delegates shall be nominated in
the same manner in which the candidate
for Congress is nominated
Candidates for Congress are not nomi-
mated by delegates chosen primarily 10
sit in an outside body like state cOnven-
ton. 1t would be a violation both of the
letter and spirit Of Republican party
rules to merge the functions of delegates
TO a Congress district convention and
the functions of delegates to a state con
ventiOn If it is held to he impracticable
TO obey the direction that district dele
gates TO the national convention are TO be
chosen at a direct primary, as candidates
for Congress must be chosen hereafter,
they should at least be elected In sepa-
rate district conventions held within the
districts and not in connection with the
state convention at Rochester.

THE "RESPONSIBLE Nan" ~ THE
tTTnlFnRITE

THE IRRESPONSIBLE nAA' ~ IHh
AUTOMOBILE.
The owner and the chauffeur of the
automobile that killed the boy Patrlck
Fav have been held for the grand jury
tho chauffeur In 5000 bail and the
owner in $4,000 The Coroner evidently
regarded one as probably guilty of Il
less offence than the other The poIice
took a similar view, for on the police
blotter the chauffeur Is charged WIN
homicide and the owner with being an
accomplice after the fact. Why only
latter the fact Special circumstances
of the case may explain why the en-
ployer. sitting in the car and being
aware of all the conditions of its opera
ton by the employe, is less guilty thah
tbe latter, If, indeed. either of them IS
entity But in general it would seem
that the law should be. if it is not now
that the employer. sitting In the auto
mobile and having the chaulfeur uhuer
his orders, should be regarded as equal
" responsible with the chauffeur for
the criminal consequences OF reckless
ness in operating it.
Failures to punish the really respoh-
siblc man" are familiar. The really re-
sponsiblc man in an automobile Is the
man at the steering wheel. if he Is not
under some one else's orders. ana II he
is then the man under whose orders ne
is running the car. When the owner sits
in car and orders or permits his chaui-
feur to operate it at n rate OF speed
that is reckless and contrary 10 the law
he is surely just as guilty as the chaut-
feur Of mauslaughter If any other user
of the highway is Killed, Efforts to en-
force criminal responsibility for deaths
due 10 the reckless operation of auto
mobiles have been almost Il complete
failure. The records show that very
few of those who Kill and fec are ever
apprehended. and convictions in case OF
apprehension are rare. But prosecution
will he farce IL there IS one degree oI
responsibility for the reckless servant
and another for the equally reckless
master.

CHAOS ~ CHINA.

Affairs In China appear TO be drifting
steadily toward condition Of chaos, Of
which almost anything may be tho final
outcome. At the beginning of the Tevo-
luton there were two parties, the re-
formers and thc conservatives. Now
there arc at least half dozen. and the
number shows a tendency toward In
crea sing through disSensionS and rupt-
ures in the existing parties. Meantime
no progress is made toward the estab'
lishmpnt by any Of an efficient govern
mcnt. and the supremacy Of such govern
ment as there Is steadily declines. "
cannot he truly said to-day that there Is
any real authority IN China capable Of
discharging the essential functions of
government.
Responsibility for this deplorable state
Of affairs. and for the still more deplor
able outlook. must be distributed among
many. The old saying, "Onc will and the
other won't" applies Al one time the
revOlutiOnistS wanted tho character of
the new government TO be determined by
list party objected. Now we are told that
the imperialiStS. or some of them, want
TO pursue that course, hut the repub
licans object. Those parties are not,
however, unanimous in taking those atti-
tudcs. Some Of the Manchus want II
fight TO the end. and some Of the repub-
licans still favor the national convention
plan and would accept its result, even
though IL were the re-establishmcnt of
the throne
Such wrangling and uncertainty would
be bad in any event. It is the worse IN
this case because it involves danger Of
foreign intervention. Other powers may
have no legitimate concern I'm the form
Of government which China sets lp
They have right to expect that she will
have some sort Of effective government.
capable Of maintaining domestic order
and of fulfilling foreign obligations
Such men as Yuan Shih-kai, WI Ting
fang. Sun Yat-sen and their colleagues
ought speedily 10 realize this and "get
together" TO meet the imperative require
ments of the situation.

of to issue the following appeal in his ca
pacity as chairman OF the American eXecu-
tive committee of tho Dickens Centenary
Fund:
''rhose concerned in this movement are
vitaly solicitous of its success In this
country. Tho centenary will be observed
is short. II we raise the $4,000 expected OF
us to match a similar fund In England. of
which 900 has already been subscribed,
Il Will be necessary to hurry. To stop
short would be Il sad commentary on our
loyalty TO an author whose works have
been a source of lifelong inspiration TO us.
IL is not contemplated or desired that all
the money should come from few sources;
That would be contrary to the spirit or
the undertaking, which Is aimed primarily
To give the average man and woman n
chance TO show his loyalty To writer
whose heart was always with the average
man and woman.
"lIow could this loyalty be better shown
than by creating this 100000 trust fund
for the five granddaughters Of the author?
Dickens was a practical man. He be-
heved In substantial evidences of love
real helpfuness. II Is the philosophy or
his writings
Had Dickens been protected in the enjoy
ment of American royalties morally due
him on his books none Of his family would
be In need We did not grant him that pro-
lection. This Is our chance TO make
amends II Will not come again.
