CRIPPLED CITIES.

Municipal home rule is concededly the
right and proper thing in city admins
tration. The members Of the conference
Utica agreed on that. but did not agree
on the reason why so little Of 1t was on
exhibition. And yet the reason is ex-
ceedingly plain to any one who watches
the course of legislation for year or
two. Mr.. Robert s. Binkerd, secretary
of the City Club Of New York stated it
exactly when he declared we didn't have
home rule because we couldn't. He re-
marked that few people actually had an
adequate idea of what home rule was.
Perhaps for that reason the cities Of the
state were crippled. They had to 20 TO
the Legislature for grants of power Of
every nature which they should possess
by virtue of an inclusive fundamental
law. Even the constitution gave to the
Legislature the specific power OF inter
ference with each city government on
matters affecting the safety, hours Of
labor and wages Of its employees
III OLueT WOTus, tHe dCIudl IHCC Is tHdU
the Legislature is governing the cities of
the state to an extent unrealized by their
taxpayers and unjustified by any rea-
sonable idea Of the proper functions Of
state and municipal administration. The
Legislature declares whether bonds may
be issued, and for what purposes and in
what amount whether property may be
sold; whether the municipality may give
money TO this charity or remit the taxes
of that one: what the salaries OF school
teachers shall be; whether dogs must be
licensed; whether policemen shall do
patrol duty on the two or the three pla-
toon system. II settles a score Of other
questions as important or as unimpor-
tant. Its calendars are clogged with
mass of local legislation which inevitably
becomes the medium Of logrolling and po-
lltical dickering and jobbery. Save for
those few cities which have the uniform
second class cities charter. the charters
Of no two municipalities In the state are
alike. One feature they all have In com
which seem 10 necessitate

PARK ADMINISTPATION BUILD.

INGS.
Opponents of the project for placing
the Lenox Library in Central Park are
really cOntendlng that even park admin
istration buildings should not be erected
within the parks. Putting such build
ings in parks is totally different thing
from erecting in them cOurthouses, post
offices, fire alarm stations and other pub
lie structures. 1t Is natural that the
parks should contain the buildings neces-
Sary for their administration, and ii has
always been the custom In this city TO
use structures in the parks to house the
general offices Of the department and to
serve as police stations. In some In
stances family mansions" existing at
the time the park property was bought
have been used as administration build
ingS. That is the case in Brooklyn and
in the parks of The Bronx. In the same
way the old Arsenal in Central Park
was converted into q general office build
ing for the Park Department In Man.
haitian and police station.
This practice is natural. 1t IS a con-
venience Of administration TO have the
department Offices situated in an impor-
tant park, and it serves the interests Of
that park TO have them there, so that
work may be carried OH practically I'M
der the eyes Of the officials
Those who say that the Arsenal should
be torn down and administration offices
should be found outside are carrying
their opposition to buildings in the parks
to an absurd extreme. There is no like
lihood that the city will at any time
abandon the existing practice There
has always been reason to suppose that
when the Arsenal came down it would
be replaced by another building in Cen
trail Park to be used for the same pur.
poses. Mr.. Tricks offer affords an OPP
portunlty to make Il dignified substitu-
ton at once without cost to the public.

1 EAIR SETTLENENT.

The disposition Of the majority III
control of the Republican National Com
mittee not TO use its power arbitrarily
or unfairly was demonstrated yesterday
in the unanimous decision TO seat the
four Roosevelt delegates-at-Iarge IRON
Missouri. If il bad been the purpose
of the men in control To use the steam
roller" regardless of the merits of CON
tests they could easily have voted To
divide the delegates large OH the
ground that the election Of the four
Roosevelt delegates had been secured
through the violation of gentlemen :
agreement made outside the conyen-
ton by representatives Of the two con
tending factions.
However, as it is the committees
function merely 10 pass on the primd
tdcie validity Of credentials offered, it
would have gone far afield in consid-
ering the effect Of the agreement III
question. The majority Of the convex
ton, as legally organized, repudlated
the agreement. and though the Taft con-
testants might charge bad faith against
individuals, they could not prove any
material irregularlty in the conventions
action. The Tribune's table of dele
gateS-elect gave the four seats TO the
Roosevelt delegates and classified the
action subsequently taken by few
delegates and outsiders at private
meeting in st. Louis hotel as pro
test rather than a contest" 1t IS
gratifying to find that the national com
mittee has unanimously taken the same
view.
AS for the district contests. most Of
them turned on techncalities relating TO
calls and organization. Relying on the
reports Of "The st. Louis Globe-Demo-
GRAFT" newspaper friendly to Mr.. Taft
and commercially fair and accurate I'm
its news columns. The Tribune credited
eight of the ten contested delegates TO
Roosevelt and two to Taft. The COM
mittee. by unanimous vote. has ap-
proved compromise offered on behalf
of the two Missouri factions, seating
six Taft and four Roosevelt delegates
and making the delegation stand TWEEN
~ to sixteen in favor of Roosevelt. It
is evident that this decision did sub
stantial justice to both sides. The ma
jority Of the committee has been vio-
lently and 'needlessly abused. 1t is time
to recognize its Steadfast purpose to be
governed by precedent and common
sense in preparing the temporary roll
of the convention.

JsTHHIAy CANAL REGULATIONS.

The Senate Committee on Inter-
oceanic Canals has made. as was eX-
pccted. some changes i'm the House bill
for the regulation of the Panama
Canal. These will doubtless be sharp
~ discussed in the Senate, and may be
subjected to further notifications by
that body. AS they stand they provide
interesting and profitable food for
thought There is also an equally sig
nficant lack of change in AT least one
important respect in which many ex-
pected that the Senate would reverse
The action Of the House.
This last feature of the committees
report is the retention unchanged of
the House provision for the exemption
of American coastwise shipping from
all tolls. One Of the chief though I'M
awaiting objections TO this in the House
was that il might be construed as
breach of the spirit and intent. if not
of the letter. of the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty. and 1t was predicted that the
Senate would refuse TO concur in it.
But its committee at least does concur,
and If the Senate does likewise we
shall have, with the Presidents Opin-
ion, the judgment Of the entire treaty
making power that that provision is
not In conflict with our treaty obliga-
tons. The novel and somewhat unex-
pected addition is made by the Senate
committee of extending that exemp-
ton to American vessels which are en-
gagged in foreign trade and which are
potentially members Of the United
States Naval Reserve The justification
of this under the treaty is probably that
such vessels, like those I'm the coast
trade, are In a class apart from the
shipping Of foreign countries, into
which the latter cannot enter and with
which 1t cannot compete. The inser-
ton Of this clause by the Senate com
mittee Is Of interest as an indication
that at least some members of the Sen
ate are inclined TO go further in that
direction than the House.
The Senate committee approves the
exclusion OF railroad-Owned ships from
the canal. but makes an exception In
favor Of such when engaged 10 the OK

SEES HARDSHIP ON DEPosIToRS.

To the Edltor or Inc Tribune.
Sir: In your last Wednesdays paper
there was an article concerning savings
banks and suggesting the possibility OF
some OF them reducing the rates Of interest.
X seems to me that It would be a great in
justice to the depositors OF those banks
which can afford 10 pay per cent to lower
their rates. The savings banks are used
mostly by persons who often deny them
selves many comforts for the sake OF put
ting by, in safety. for a rainy day To
many II would be real hardship TO have
any reduction OF tho interest on their small
savings.
do not understand the business methods
very well. but l have noticed In several
cases that a reduction OF interest has fol-
lowedS the building OF large, expensive
banks which are for the sole use Of that
bank. Perhaps II they were To build so
that there would be offices, etc, that would
bring in an income there would be no need
TO reduce the interest on dopositors' money.

says they are not a Chain of banks ana
that each should consider the interests OF
its own depositors. l believe that last year

steamship lines owned by foreign rail-
road companies, and TO avoid also any
clashing of our domestic traffic regua-
lions with the commercial practice OF
foreign countries. The new provision OF
six months notice Of Intended changes III

again the desirablity Of such prompt
ness in the enactment Of the pending
measures as shall enable the President
to promulgate the rates and rules

TO the EultOI OF i he lTlDuHt'
Sir: sincerely believe that a boom should
be started in behalf of Samuel s. Koenig for
Governor of New York. because Mr.. Koe-
nigs persevering modesty will not bring
him to the attention OF the public unless
some of his faithful followers begin to
boost him.
I am very proud. indeed. to say that
was among the first to breach his name for
chairman OF the Republican County Com
mittee, and his splendid record as all effec-
tive partisan worker In the ranks, as well
as in generalship. not only entities him To
the promotion, but, in my opinion. makes
him the strongest candidate available. His
services as Secretary of State were SO ad-

ernors chair is logical evolution Of his
