Conference of Editors.

President Taft is the recipient of a
suggestion bold in conception. unique
in character, and promising of impor-
tant results if put into execution. II
has been proposed to the President that
he call together the editors of the coun-
try in a congress in Washington to dis
cuss the peace of the world and how
best to obtain it.
This suggestion was seriously made
recently by the editor of the Wyoming
Tribune, at Cheyenne, and Mr.. Taft
was urged TO call the convention at an
early date in Washington The Wyom-
ing editor cited the important results
following the calling together of the
governors of the States to discuss pub
lie questions, and the originator of the
idea claimed for the editors conference
no less significance with reference TO
the worlds peace
Such conference necessarily would
be nonpartisan, nonpolitical, and actuat-
ed only by sincere idea to promote
international peace by the most effective
means to be discovered. 1t would be
a striking assemblage Of men of keen
intellectually and acumen, and it is
wholly within the range of possibility
that its discussions would advance the
cause of peace further in three days
than peace congresses, peace dinners,
Hague conferences, and all other
agencies have been able to do in three
decades.
President Taft could do worse than
to call the editors of the land TO Wash
ington to share his confidence and en-
list their services in the cause of the
worlds peace.

MANN Is VICTOR
OYER INSURGENTS
Lively Clash as to Representative
MadisOn's Successor Results in
Minority Leaders Triumph.

The lively row in the House Of Repre-
sentatives yesterday afternoon over the
appointment Of successor TO the late
Representative Madison, OF Kansas, on
the Rules Committee, was reminiscent of
the sixty-frst Congress, when the Repub-
lican regulars and insurgents fought bit
teriy at every opportunity and the Demo-
Gratis held the balance of power Yester-
day. however, II was the Democratic
party that WAS split. with control In
the hands of the Republican regulars.
II was considerable OF a tempest in q
teapot at that. The late Representative
Madison was an insurgent and Minority
Leader Mann had nominated Represen-
tative Campbell. Of the same State, a
reactiOnary regular. as his successor on
the Rules Committee. The Republican
insurgents, under the leadership OF Rep
resentative Norris, OF Nebraska, protest
ed vigorously and enlisted the support OF
the progressive element IN the Demo-
cratic party. with whom they had work
ed against Car Cannon In the Sixty
first Congress, and whose sympathies
were with them yesterday.
Mr. Norris proposed the name Of Rep
resentative Murdoch. Of Kansas, for men,
bership on the Rules Committee in oppo-
sitiOn 20 Mr.. Mann's nomination Of Camp
bell. The debate lasted for a couple OF
hours and somewhat to the surprise Of
mis- friends Majority Leader Underwood
seemed to take the situation with great
seriousness and made a somewhat lengthy
and extremely solemn speech. urging his
colleagues to stand by Mann's nomina-
ton Of Campbell, which had the indorse-
ment OF the Ways and Means Democrats.
The vote on Representative Norris
nomination OF Representative Murdock.
the red-haired Kansas insurgent, was l07
TO l67. and Mr.. Campbell got the place.
But the S hard and fast Republican in
surgents had 81 Democrats voting with
them, and those members OF the majority
party who are disposed to think that MIR.
Underwood has been getting too much
space in the papers Of late as the Moses
OF the Democratic party were inclined 10
make a good deaf the fact that he
couldn't hold his strength together on
this occasion. The leading Democrats OF
the body do not seriously believe, how
ever, that any real split has occurred.
They say that the question wasn't really
important, and that members felt justi-
fled in voting according to their personal
inclinations.

French Ministerial Crisis.

Premier CalliluX, finding himself I'm
able 10 patch up his cabinet. rent asun-
der through the Vaccinations Of Glenn
enceau has been forced out of Office BY
Overmastcring difficulties which he could
not Withstand. The crisis was precipi-
tatcd by the dramatic Withdrawal OF
Justin dc Selves from the portfolio OF
foreign affairs, his succession by Thco-
phile Dclcassc, and the demands which
that energetic statesman made upon the
premier 10 replace one or two other
members of the cabinet.
Under the circumstances it seemed
inevitable that Premier Calliaux, when
called upon to defend his acts in
the Chamber of Deputies, would
have gone swiftly to vote of CEN
sure, and he has chosen the less hu-
initiating alternative of placing his res
ignation and those of his colleagues in
the hands of the President of France.
The French republic, therefore, will
now pass through one of its periodical
cabinet changes and settle down in a
few days again to the solution of the
troublesome Moroccan problem, with
new heads to suggest compromises and
exchange OF advantages with the gov
eminent at Berlin
The ministerial crisis does not appear
to involve any serious complications for
France, other than a change of admin
istrative heads. which is as likely to ad-
vance the public interests as it is to
check the progress of the peaceful set

Maryland's New Governor.

Political changes in the State of
Maryland have brought to the COVER
nor's chair a new incumbent, of party
faith which has been represented there
only twice in half a century. Phillips
Lee Goldsborough finds himself, a Re
publican, at the head of a Democratic
State, with a legislature controlled by
the opposite party to hold him in check.
AT best, it is not an ideal position, po-
liticaily speaking, yet both the new gov
ernor and the new legislature have un-
usual opportunity to serve the public
with rare discretion and wisdom.
4 touch OF the dramatic was given to
the induction of Gov. Goldsborough into
office 1t was bitter cold day in An
uapolis. and the inaugural exercises
were held in the senate chamber of the
Statehousc, where George Washington
resigned his commission as com-
mander-in-chief OF the American army
at the close of the Revolution. Mary
lands Republicans naturally made the
most Of the occasion, and the inaugural
licked nothing in the way of splendor
or enthusiasm. Though cold, it was a
great day for the ancient city on the
banks OF the Severn.
Gov Goldsborough belongs to one of
Maryland's oldest families, and his life
has been spent in the Commonwealth.
His love for native institutions has not
been divided. and even those who differ
most with him in political faith sin
cercly accord to him high abilities, hon.
est purposes, and the character of 4
gentleman He will adorn the high
office to which he has been raised. and
work resolutely for the good of the
State, in which he takes the natural
pride of fond and INDUCED son.
Sailing the ship of state in Maryland
during the next four years may not be
an easy task from the political point of
view, but there can be 10 doubt that the
incumbent OF the gubernatorial Office
will bring to the work of the navigator
qualities of manhood and high purpose
concerning which there can be no ques-
ton in the minds Of the most severe
critics Of his public course

ROOSEVELT OR BUST.
William Allen White Gives Views
in Picturesque Fashion.


in Picturesque Fashion.
From the EmporiA Gazette.
The defeat OF the Republican Congress
sionaI candidate in the Seventh Kansas
district shows just one thing clearly:
That the Democrats had the votes. In
practically every special Congressional
election held since TAFT was President,
the Democrats have won. Moreover, in
every State in the Union at every cleo
ton since Taft was made President, the
Democrats have made gains.
Taft found the party united: his lead
ership has left it torn and broken. I'm
less the Republicans change leaders the
country will change parties. a lot of
minor things enter into the Seventh dis
trict situation, but they are minor things.
The great. big important fact developed
in this: That this country is going Demo-
cratic as sure as November comes, un-
less our party changes leaders.
There is Taft baking with the con-
servatives; there is La Toilette rearing
with the progressives Some one must
take the reins who can put cayenne pep
per where 1t will do the most good on
the balky horse, and put a kindly hand
on the wild horse
