the State by eighteen railroads and A mob
Of trolley cars Columbus is almost as
thiCkly infested with trolley cars as In

boundaries Of the State.
The State of Ohio has been very good
to Columbus. It has equipped it with a.
Statehouse. penitentiary. State uni

dumb institute and all the comforts Of

building with a mammoth st ne

space which contains not air enough for
one quarter of the number. As regards
ventilation. this vital matter is left en-
tirely to the judgment OF conductors,
who cannot be expected to take interest
in sanitary conditions. Why do not some
Of our committees which are so much
interested in germs and microbes
pay some attention to this?
And, if citizens would refuse to move
forward in the aisles when ordered. they
could block this packing game and rem
der public service by forcing the car

interested, it looks as if the citizens ought
to take d hand. H. L. b.

Mr.. Taft's Future.

Better than living upon Carnegie
bounty, far better than accepting a
salaried life membership in the House
of Representatives (without a vote.
and better, also, than practicing law at
his time of life and after grazing the
highest position in the gift of the peo-
pie, is the decision of the President to
accept the profered chair of law at
his alma mater. This professorship is
known as the Kent foundation at Yale,
and it carries with it the privilege of
lecturing at other law schools as well,
or on the platform.
There would have been little oppor-
tunity at Cincinnati for the kind of
law practice commensurate with the
dignity of a former President, and Mr.
Taft could not have been spared petit
foggings 1t is ever so much better
for him to go as teacher to Yale, for
even his foes must admit that he is a
capable judge and lawyer.

The President and the Public.

We believe that experience will show
Gov Wilson that he is making a mis-
take in determining to keep himself
aloof from public demonstrations
There is no doubt that it takes time
to meet delegations who come to
Washington for various purposes, but,
after all, it is but a few moments out
of each day and frequently will not
occupy more than two or three hours
in each week.
If it is merely curiosity which leads
American citizens to the White House,
it is a laudablc curiosity. We believe,
however. that it is more than this. 1t
is a patriotic interest in personal con-
tact with the man who has been
chosen to preside over the destinies
OF the nation In our system of gov
eminent the relation between the peo-
pie and the President ought to be init
mate. 1t is a good thing for the Presi-
dent TO visit all sections of the coun-
try and meet the people who cannot
visit Washington When, on the other
hand. regularly constituted conventions
assemble in the National Capital, it is
not only an act of courtesy, but in
some sense a duty on the part of the
President to meet their personnel. The
visit to the White House is always
the climax of the sojourn here and the
amount of time occupied is infnites-
imal
1t has always been the custom for
an incoming President to meet at the
White House during Inauguration

to see him indicted into office 1t is

act. Will President Wilson close the
doors of the White House against the
people? Viii he remain firm in his
determination to refuse all requests on
the part of convention delegates for an
opportunity merely to grasp his hand?
Viii he, upon the ground that he is
struggling with grave national prob
lens, play the part of hermit in
the White House?
We do not believe that he will He
has too much tact and is too demo-
cratic in his temperament When he
comes to Washington and finds that
the people want to meet him. he will
meet the people. He will then have
a different point of view from the one
which he at present entertains.

Britain's New First Sea Lord.

Prince Louis Won Battenberg, who
succeeded Sir Francis Bridgeman as
Admiral-in-chief of the entire British
Navy, is believed universally to be
fully entitled to this high and respon-
sible post. He is recognized to be pre-
eminently capable, and any lingering
prejudice that may have arisen owing
to the fact that the Battenbergs are
Germans and this particular prince but
naturalized British subject has died
out long ago. We hear that no officer
in the royal navy is more respected
or admired. As a strategist and tacti-
clan, he has. perhaps, no equal.
1t is a well-known fact that in his
commands ahoat he has shown qualities
of the highest order. As director of
Naval Intelligence, he did admirable
work, giving new life and character
to duties which go far beyond the
sphere indicated by the title of that
office As Second Sea Lord, Prince
Battenberg confirmed the impression
received of his great qualities. His
justice and integrity are well known
and officers have felt that their welfare
was secure.
He is emphatically the right man
for the right place His successor as
Second Sea Lord is Admiral Sir John
Jellicoe, whose rise began after he had
gone down with the Victoria and was
rescued. During the Boxer rising in
China he was chief of staff to Sir
Edward Seymour He is considered
fit to attain to the highest position in
the British naval service.
