JUST BORED.

Some of the comments or Senator La
Follette's speech at the Periodical Pub
fishers Association dinner In Philadel-
phia are based on Il misapprebension
of what appear 10 have been the real
feelings of his hearers However lam
entable his exhibition of bad manners
in seeking to compliment his hosts. the
magazine publishers by abusing some
of their other guests. the newspaper
men, that lapse was by no means taken
in an unfricndly spirit. Perhaps the
magazine men present enjoyed IL; the
newspaper men were amused by IT,
They have heard much of the same
sort of nonsense and know its eXaS-
geratiOn. 1t was not what Senator La
Toilette said but his interminable say
ing Of il which aroused the spirit oil
unrest. His hearers were willing 10
hear him damn all the trusts ana all
the newspapers, and everything else that
he wanted to, if he would only do 1t
and be done with il, and let them us
ten to the rest of the programme ana
go home 10 bed.
1t is surprising that seasoned speak
er and politician like Senator La Fol
lette should have been so utterly 0btuse
TO the atmosphere of his audience ana
to his own interests as to begin at hal1-
past eleven an after dinner speech, and'
after announcing that he had written II
so as not to take more than forty or
fifty minutes, TO talk in the face of the
evident WEAKNESS of his hearers for two
hours, until half-past one. Yet Senator
La Toilette seemed to have been so
wrapped UP in his own egOtism that,
after he had talked for an hour ana
half in the most deliberate manner, he
assumed that the signs of Impotence
beginning to show in his audience were
the result of sensitiveness under his
thrusts. The tired diners who wanted
relief were told that he recognized them
as the miniOns of the interests. Whiie
their only interest was i'll hearing MT
Burns, the detective, and getting some
sleep. Such is the obSesSion OF over
grown egotism. Mr.. la Toilette didn't
terrify anybody; he didn't anger any
body: but he bored everybody nearly to

or / FORMER GENERATION.

Senator Thomas f. Grady was q sur
viyal. lie was the last link between the
political world of generation ago. with
its Kellys and Crokers and PlattS, and
the LEGISLATURE of the state Of New York
to-day. His death has taken from the
Senate a man Of ability. which he used
sometimes for the benefit Of the people.
Though the political organization which
he served faithfully for more than thirty
years at the last ruthlessly cast him
aside. il should mourn him sincerely
now, for never again will Tammany have
a man in the Legislature who through
ability and personality could serve it in
an inglorious cause as did Grady.
Grady's enemies pictured him as a
monster personally and politically. Ills
friends knew him as man of intellect
and gracious personality. with that quail
ity of humanness which attracted and
retained friendship. Naturally they re-
scented structures on his manifold short
comings. Neither estimate was accurate,
i'm the sense that neither took into ac-
count the other side Of the mans nature.
Grady's political career had its begin
ming under John Kelly and was moulded
and set in the fashions Of Tammanyism
of the Kelly Croker brand. He learned
discipline, he learned to take orders, he
learned that loyalty to 1.-THE organiza-
ton was the highest quality an individ-
ual could possess. He learned that with
this must go the ability to fight-to fight
for organization and self and against the
organizations and his own enemies. He
learned his lesson well, and practised 1t.
Once it brought him Punishment at the
request of Grover Cleveland. Again 1t
brought him humiliation and a broken
heart, when he aspired TO continued lead
ership of victorious Democracy which
he had served so long when it was u
minority party. Tammany on probation
was determined to be virtuous, and
Grady was deemed TO be rigid in the
spirit and the habits which had made
him useful for years So, largely in def
erence TO the attitude of Governor Dix,
who now draws q veil over whatever dis
creditable he fancied he saw then in
Grady's record, the old man was set
aside for one younger and more present
able and more pliable. Nevertheless, the
habits of years held Grady, and on critl-
cal occasions he went to the service Of
Tammany thereafter just as he had
when he did "the dirtiest days work Of
my life
As legislator Grady served first Tam
many Hall, then Democracy. His course

DTSNANTLING THE STATES.

The textile strike in Lawrence, Mass,
was undoubtedly responsible for the
suggestion by Representative McCall OIL
an amendment TO the federal Consutu-
ton empowering Congress to regulate
hours of labor in the states. The strike
was the result of the passage OF law
bv the Massachusetts Legislature com
polling a reduction of the hours of labor
in the textile industry 10 titty-tour Il
week. The manufacturers thereupon cut
wages TO correspond, and the operatives
resisted the reduction. Massachusetts
has to compete with other states where
there are no fifty OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES laws
in force Her statesmen would naturally
be pleased if they could find some lever
with which TO force the other states TO
a fifty our-hOur basis. and Mr.. Mccall
seems TO think that if Congress had the
authority TO regulate hours Of labor
everywhere uniformity could be secured
and the handicap under which Massa-
chusetts now manufactures could be
lifted.
Emergencies in politics make strange
bedfellows. 1t was only few years
ago that Mr.. Mccall was protesting vio-
lently in the name Of state rights
against q further exercise Of the federal
governments authority TO regulate in
terstate commerce. He opposed the
Hepburn railroad rate bill and prophe-
sled that if it should become law the
channels of interstate commerce would
dry up. Now he ranges himself with
the EXTREMIST of the new nationalist
who want TO make the federal govern.
ment supreme in all matters affecting
our economic system. no matter to what
impotence they reduce the states.
Senator Bailey predicted the other
day in the debate on the Child Wei
fare Bureau bill that the New Eng
land states would soon become the
stronghold Of state rights sentiment,
since their natural conservatism was
being more and more threatened by the
radicalism Of the West. But he must
have failed to notice that Mr.. Mccall
had begun a crusade for an extension
Of the powers Of the federal govern
ment which will make most Of the West
ern radicals gasp and stare. Massachu-
sets has evidently not yet gone over
completely to the cause Of state rights.

FORECASTS or HOME RULE.


Forecasts Of the promised Home Rule
bill differ radically on the one detail
which we'havc all along regarded as the
real crux, namely. that Of the control of
the customs. The London Daily Chron-
icle." which is one of the foremost sup
porters .of the government and might
therefore be supposed 10 be in its con
fidence announces that the measure VIII
give the Irish Parliament full control
Of customs and excise. "Thc London
Times" on the other hand, which though
not government supporter is likely TO
be about as well informed as any paper,
declares that the imperial government
is to retain control OF the customs. II
may be added that some OF the most
conspicuous English advocates of Home
Rule have recently favored the latter
plan, saying that it was incOnceivable
that Ireland should he permitted TO set
I'D her own tariff system against that
of Great Britain.
Whichever of the two forecasts is
correct. the fulfilment Of either IS pretty
certain to give rise to grave dlssatis-
faction in one Of the divisions of the
Home Rule party and Of the government
coalition in Parliament There are many
Irishmen who would consider a Home
Rule law 10 he dcIusiye and vain If il
reserved to the British government the
power Of debating the tariff and excise
system Of Ireland in addition, as "rhe
Chronicle" tells us, TO controlling the
navy. army. militia. constabulaIy, for
cign policy. coinage and other important
functions of national sovereignty. Not
by remaining under British control i'm
those matters is Ireland 10 "break the
last link that binds her 10 England"
On the other hand, imagination hest
tates before the picture Of the simon
pure CObdeniteS Of England voting to
permit Ireland TO turn back into what
they regard as the sin and bondage Of
Protection, and especially Of protective
tariffs against England herself.
Indeed. the one safest forecast OF the
Home Rule bill seems to be that it will
be just about as highly contentious Il
measure rs either of its rejected prcdc-
cessors, with this difference, that il will
cause contention not only between it's
supporters and its critics and opponents,
but also within the ranks Of those who
nominalIy advocate it. In view of that
il may be accounted pity that Mr..
Winston Churchill was not permitted
freely to carry out his original design
of making a great Home Rule speech at
Belfast He might have thrown some
convincing light upon the obscure queS-
ton, in addition TO giving TO the world
some epigram which might be con-
trasted with that of his father concern
ing listers attitude toward Home Rule.

RAVAGING TIE WHITE HILLS.

A serious feeling Of disappointment is
caused by the report, which seems TO be
authentic, that the spoliation or the
White Mountain forests is proceeding I'M
checked and even with increased vigor.
Il was supposed by many that the legis-
latiOn which was recently enacted as the
result of so long and earnest campaign
had proved effective for the conservation
of what Is or was probably the finest eX-
panse of mountain forests east of the
Rockies. but it now seems not to be So
The Weeks bill for the protection OF the
Appalachian forests is indeed law, but IL
contains the provision that the forests
shall not be protected until the head OF
the United States Geological Survey has
designated the areas which are to he re-
served, and this has not yet been done.
In consequence an opportunity for for
est destruction is presented which Is be-
ing improved with feverish zeal. Into
the very heart of the largest spruce Tor
est within sight of Mount Washington a
lumber railroad has been pushed. In the
peerless Crawford Notch the cutting has
been carried as far as FrankenStein. The
upper slopes Of the Presidential range
are being denuded. From the summit OF
Lafayette almost all that the eye can
see In the Pemigewasset Valley Is "a

feet of lumber in those regions which

keted without damage to the forests or
to the scenery But it needs To be cut

recklesSy swept off. young and old alike.
What present methods will mean If car
ried much further may be estimated
from a glance at the naked slopes OF
Webster at the upper end of the Notch,
as contrasted with the richly wooded
slopes of Wiley. directly opposite. To
reduce the mountains generally to that
condition would be an objectionable
crime.
If the application of the law for the
salvation of those glorious mountain for
ests depends upon the action of the Geo
logical Survey. then it is TO be desired
that that learned and excellent agency
shall "get busy" with the utmost possible
expedition and energy. before 1t Is too
late to prevent irreparable vandalism.

TO a steadily increasing extent we nave
no doubt. How and where they are to be

TO airmen, but it seems 10 be one which
the airmen themselves must answer.
The cities cannot have the parks per-
verified 10 that use, and private land own
ers will very properly object to having
their lawns, gardens or other grounds
thus invaded and damaged. The public
roads cannot be used, because they are
too narrow and because the ordinary
traffic on them would thus be subjected
to intolerablc perils and obstruction. 1t
rests with enterprising aviators, there
fore, to provide their own landing fields,
without trespassing upon their neighbors'
land or invading the parks and pleasure
grounds of the public.

LANDINGS FOR AIRSHIpS.

The Park Commissioner for The Bronx
is right in holding that the parks of this
city should not be surrendered to avia-
tors as landing places for their vessels
and that no portion of the parks should
be set apart for that purpose. The parks
were not intended for any such use and
would be seriously injured by it. Mr..
Higgins well points out that the city
should no more be expected TO provide
landing grounds for airships than TO
provide garages for automobiles, or, we
may add. stables for horses. On that
ground alone the suggestion might well
be rejected and condemned.
There are other reasons. Such use of
any portion of the parks would endanger
the remainder of them and would be u
grave source of peril TO all visitors. 1t

Tile RURNING ISSIL.

The steam heated fat" or apart
ment with heat" il the rent happens to
be higher and the location more preten-
tious. is an institution in this city of
apartment houses. If the heat really
comes through the pipes when the head
of the family manipulates the radiator
valves peace reigns and the fall of the
Thermometer outside the window holds
no terrors. But the heat is so often no.
ticeable by its absence that there has
grown up in the land special form of
invective directed against janitors, land
lords and all the rest of the piratical
crew who seem to combine TO make cold
storage warehouses of otherwise desir-
able dwellings. Hitherto the tenant has
been limited TO experiments in the po-
tentialities of such "hot air" as heat
ing medium when the landlords heating
apparatus failed. Now the decision Of
the Appellate Division in the Mcdonald
case promises relief of another variety.
II he finds himself in danger of freezing
while he obeys the terms of his lease for
the apartment with heat" he can move
and defy the landlord to collect the rent.
This. in essence, is the courts decision:
that the landlord was obliged to furnish
heat even If the lease did not specify
that obligation, and that it was CUES
tion of fact, for jury to decide, whether
the landlord in this case had done so. If
he had not the tenant was justified in
moving and in fighting attempts TO col
lect rent under the broken lease.
It seems particularly appropriate that
this vital document in the emancipation
of the tenant should come at a time
when the Weather Bureau predicts re-
newed cold weather and the weather
agrees with the representations. The
choice between freezing and moving In
pidwinter. with lawsuits over broken
leases and the prospect of having TO pay

lion of breaking a lease and having the

Leases are drawn TO protect the land
lord. He has, or, rather, has had, q
SORT Of strange hold since the tenant
