A Mandate and Its Execution.

They order some things very we'll in
New York.
In November the republicans swept
the state in both state and national
affairs. They elected their candidate
for governor as well as a majority OF
their candidates for the legislature.
As matters then stood a democratic
governor faced a republican legisla-
ture, and the division of power had
not been working to the general sat
isfaction. So it was decided to unite
power in one party
The new order goes into effect on
the 1st proximo. when the repub-
iican governor will be inaugurated and
the new legislature assemble for bust
ness In two months after election
day the mandate then issued will be-
gin to run.
In November the republicans swept
the country. They elected their can
didate for President as well as a ma
jority of their candidates for Congress.
As matters then stood, a democratic
President faced republican Congress,
and the division of power had not been
working to the general satisfaction.
So the voters decided to unite power
in one party.
But the new order will not go into
effect until March 4. full four months
after the issuance of the decree. I'm
til then the democratic President will
continue to face the republican Con-
gress, with resultant delays and en-
barrassments. The November man.
date should begin to run sooner.
AS this question is under general
discussion now, and the attention Of
both the House and the Senate has
been called to it by bill, it is to be
hoped that the sense Of the country as
to the proper constitutional amend
nent to remedy the matter will be or.

Nearing the End at Fiume.

The fall of Fiume is expected to oc-
cur at any hour. Gen. Caviglia' q
troops are closing in, D'Annunzio' IS

is but a matter of a short time. The
latest reports indicate that the de-
tenders are not resisting, but are un.

word is given. This may mean that
D'Annunzio plans dramatic last

when the Austrians had been driven
out of Fiume and Dalmatia and estab.

Jealous partisans. He defied the Ital-
ian government and the allied powers.
He gravely complicated the entire
peace program. He threatened to con.

luxury Taxes" Abolished

The luxury taxes. which have now
been abolished. except on certain
specified lines, have had a short and
eyentful career.
This experiment in taxation. as put
into effect by Sir Henry Drayton. will
be generally regarded as an unhappy
amateurism in fiscal policy.
The fault with this method Of taxa
ton was that 1t interviewed at the
his customer at the psychological mo-
ment when a sale was about to be
made, and tended to halt and prevent
the transaction.
The principle that an extra tax
should be placed on Injuries as dis
tinguished from the necessartes OF
life has much to commend 1t. but
the tax which has Just been abol-
ished was not accomplishing that
purpose. and It was imposing upon
business an Inconvenience out Of all
proportion to the amount Of revenue
It was yielding to tho public treas
ury.-Toronto Daily Star (Canadian).

Cardinal Gibbons' Illness,

Disquieting reports OF the state of
the health Of Cardinal Gibbons have
reached Washington and have caused
deep concern. The cardinal is in his
eighty-seventh year and naturally at
such an age any indisposition 10 of
grave potentiality. So long has James
Gibbons served at the cathedral at
Baltimore. so intimately has he be.
come identified with the civic actiyi.
ties not only Of that community, but
of others. 50 helpful has he been for
such long period IN the advancement
OF all works for the good Of mankind,
that It has seemed that providential
dispensation was at work in his sus.
tenance. Now that his years are tell.
ing and his physical body IL weak.
ened there are ardent prayers for his
recovery. even though his sands have
long since run beyond the allotted
measure Of Scriptural limit.
