Regulating Auctions.

Whatever may be the faults of the
present draft of the proposed new police
regulation By which the Commission
hope to put stop to the fake auctions
that have recently been thriving in
Washington, il is Well that they have
undertaken to formulate a rule. which
will at least limit, If il cannot absolutely
prevent, these enterprises. In its present
form the regulation requires the payment
of license fee of sl.U and the giving of a
bond for 5000. and also that the persons
engaging in this line of business shall be
residents of the District. Inasmuch as
what constitutes local residence is a mat
ter of some dispute it will be well If the
new regulation is so written as to leave
no doubt on this point But perhaps a
sure way of cutting out the fakes will
be to provide method whereby
complaint against auctioneers can be
presented to the licensing official and
upon investigation and proof made the
basis of canceling of the license. The
licenses should he so drawn that the
auctioneers are on good behavior. Those
who are legitimate in their methods, who
employ no cappers or false bidders. who

Gov. Glynn.

GOV. Glynn makes two announcements
worthy of attention now and for some
time to come: Cd He will steer BY the in
spiration of two OF his famous predeces-
sors. and ca he will not seek to succeed
himself in Office.
Martin Van Buren, and Samuel j. Tilden
are the men he names. and both made
great reputation in the governorship OF
New York. Both were intellectual men
Of high grade. and astute politicians.
Mr.. Van Buren had more red blood in his
veins, and therefore. more. and warmer
personal friends than Mr.. Tilden The
latter had probably the greater intellect
and certainly was the abler writer. Had
Mr.. Tilden lived I'm the days when Hamil-
ton. Jefferson, Madison. Monroe and
George Mason resorted TO their pens he
would have kept them company. and been
no unworthy associate.

Caution to Good Readers.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
Federal good roads experts are reported
to be giving much attention just now to
impressing upon the good roads enthusl-
asts the necessity of making due pro-
vision for maintenance of their new
roads after they have been improved.
One of the chief features of the work OF
the office of public roads during the COM
ing year will be- it is said, the teaching
of scientific maintenance" Never be-
fore in the countrys history. it is declar-
ed. has greater interest in improved
roads been shown. Immense sums. rails
ed by fiotation of bonds, have been and
are being devoted to road building. But
there Is reason to fear that no small part
thereof may be i'll spent. The zeal Of the
good roads enthusiasts spurs them for
ward to demand for quick action.
Their lack of experience and expert
knowledge leads them sometimes into
costly errors. of which the failure to
make provision for maintenance is rated
one of the commonest.

The Taxi and the Law.
Syracuse Post Standard.

From the syracuse Post-Stanuaru.
New York city has had a taxicab or
dinance for nearly half a year. 1t was
established in order to prevent extortion
by taxicab drivers. Probably extortion
was practiced in nearly every case where
il was thought safe. The taxicab COM
panies were Mortified at the thought of
regulation of taxicab fees by law; they
resorted to the courts with all speed and
sued out injunctions restraining the city
from enforcing the law. The injunction
case was decided in supreme court In
favor of the city, but there was still the
appellate division to consider, and before
the appellate division the ordinance still
stands while the taxicab service in New
York is said to be worse than ever
Nevertheless. taxicab fares i'll New York
and i'm other cities. too. will one day be
regulated by law. and taXicab owners
will have reason to be glad of it.

the presidency, Mr.. Van Buren, exhibited
in his one term in that Office some Of
the qualities which had scored in the
governorship of New York. He was a
very clever man at the game of politics
sometimes too clever lie played it too
fine and more than once overreached
himself. His fame is unjust1y overlaic
with mere finesse
Mr.. Tilden did not reach the White
House. His success at Albany. was pro-
digious. He did many big things as gov
ernor and did them well. His campaign
for President was largely socketed in his
achievements at home at the head of his
party after Tammany's record under
Tweed had been exposed In all that diff
ficuit business he showed both pluck and
resources What sort of record he would
have made as President must always re-
main matter for speculation. He alien
ated some of his friends by refusing to
buck the republican line after the election.
though others thought he acted with pa
triotic and praiseworthy motives.
As for Gov Glynns decision not to try
for a full term. that may be oyerruled
His party in the state has never before
been in so unhappy plight. 1t needs a
leader as badly as that Texan in the fable
needed pistol Suppose Gov. Glynn
demonstrates qualities equal to the emer-
gency. Suppose he takes counsel of the
best men In the party; brings order out
of chaos: heartens those who now have
no heart; struggles for, and obtains, team
work Will the party with such man
available turn from him? Or permit him
to retire? Will it not insist on his fur
ther leadership? And will it not be his
duty to remain in action?
For the next eight or ten months much
more than local attention will be fixed on
Albany.

Thanksgiving for the Postmen.

Judging from Individual expressions
there is Willingness on the part of the
public to abstain from mail service
Thanksgiving day in order to give the
letter carriers of Washington a full holi-
day on this occasion. Readers of The
Star have written letters TO this effect,
speaking for themselves and their fam
lilies. 1t is quite probable that if the mat
ter were put to a vote the response would
be almost unanimously in favor OF giving
the postmen complete respite from their
duties on the day which has been set
apart for national Thanksgiving. 1t is
understood that the postal authorities are
willing to take this action if the public
will consent. and the expression of opin-
ion on this point will aid them In reach

Mothers Pensions.
snokanc Spokesman. Review.

From the Spokane Spokesman- RevitW.
Criticism of the mothers pension law
during the first few months of its opera
ton may very easily be premature and
unfair The fact that counties are find
ing the payment of these pensions bur-
den may account for a great deal of it.
This however does not disturb the fact
that the law was passed in response to
an alleged public demand. after full dis
cussion The frequent statement is made
by county officials that the law opens the
door to fraud and iinprovidence. The
same statement was made regarding the
Industrial insurance law. The same criti-
cisin il characteristic of almost all effect

Ii is not the fault. however, of the law
that attempts are made TO impose on the
generosity or bounty OF the public purse.

Tuesday and the Currency.

Something like progress on the cur
rency question will probably be made
after Tuesday. The result of that days
elections should. in a way. simplify an
| important feature of the situation.
There seems reason to believe that the
Senate in the business has the President
| more than the House in mind. That is
to say, 1t has little if any doubt that
what the President can be brought to
approve the House will approve True
the House has issued a sort of thus-far-
and-no-farther proclamation about the
Glass bill. That measure must not be
changed in any of the essentials.
The House issued a similar proclama-
| ton about its tariff bill. That was de-
clared sacrosanct. But the Senate laid
irreverent hands on it, and amended it
| in about five hundred particulars. The
House submitted, because the President
submitted. The President submitted be-
cause the narrow majority in the Senate
had to be considered. He would have
signed the bill as it passed the House,
but accepted the amended bill rather
than get none at all.
So far, the currency sentiment in the
Senate has not been pressed with vigor.
demonstrated the impossibility of the
Glass bill. That ''feeler'' cannot get
through the Senate. although the Presi-
dent would sign it.
If Tuesdays elections result favorably
for the President-if the democratic can
didates for governor win in New Jersey
and Massachusetts, the fusion candidate
for mayor wins in New York, and the
democratic candidate for senator wins In
Maryland-he will be much strengthened
in his position on all points, and in the
currency matter be encouraged to stand
up to the Senate stoutly for those fea-
lures upon which he and Mr.. Bryan are
agreed.
But if the general result Tuesday is
not quotable as Il triumph for the ad-
| ministration: If matters on that score are
left somewhat In doubt, then the Senate
may stand UP stoutly to the President
and insist on the elimination of those
/ suggestions about currency reform at
which the business world has taken
alarm. 4--s<-e==-.s-e--

The President and the House think the
Senate wrong. The Senate thinks the

banking portion of it. Is certain that
neither President, Senate nor House is

Preoccupation.

The congressman must talk about the

His voice is still prepared to shout with
zeal that can't relax:
He takes line of figures of proportions
all immense
And sadly they remind him of a long

He looks the future i'll the face and tries
to brace his nerve

But in the midst of the debate his mind

Are Railroads Prosperous !
From the st. Joseph Gazette.

rom the ST. Joseph GaZettc.
Every man of experience and real judg-
ment in business knows how possible it
is for man, or firm, corporation
to .'be doing an immense business and
yet be making a slight profit, or none at
all, or be running at loss. This is
phenomenon frequently observed in the
case of lines of business that are running
upon too narrow margin and that
eventually go under. We are not trying
to alarm any one. but do wish to call at
tention to the fact that the railroads are
busy; they are being worked to the full
of their capacity. But many a farmer or
business man has been extremely busy
for long stretches of time, when at the
very best it was only possible to make
ends meet, and sooner or later apparent
prosperity collapsed under the strain OF
too heavy liabilities imposed upon too
narrow profits. 1t is pertinent and it is
appropriate to inquire whether the rail-
roads that represent some eighteen bill
lion dollars of invested capital. are really
prospecting?
