Irelands Governor General.

The powers which TIMOTHY M.
HEALY will exercise as Governor-Gen-
eral of the Irish Free State are those
exercised by Lord BYNG, the Crown
representative in Canada, except in
one important particular. In Canada
the Governor-General nominates the
Senate, whose members serve for life,
being guided in his choice by the
Premier. In Ireland the Senators will
be elected.
AS Governor-General Mr.. HEALY
will appoint an Executive Council OF
twelve Ministers, corresponding to
the Canadian Privy Council. Four
of these will be members Of the Cham
ber of Deputies (the Irish equivalent
of the Horse of Commons) and eight
from outside it. All the members OF
the Council will be named at the sug-
gestion of the Chamber of Deputies
or its committee.
1t is one OF the prerogatives OF the
Governor-General to call and dis
solve Parliament. He opens the ses-
sion with what is styled-because he
takes the Kings place--a speech
from the throne" Ireland may well
reflect upon the great changes of the
last year when it sees that veteran
Parnellite, Land Lacquer and gen.
eral fire eater the Honorable TIM
HEALY delivering speech from the
throne"
But time softens all. It is forty
two years since Mr.. HEALY, then
bold young agitator Of rs. toured the
United States with PARNELL and JOHN
DILLON and took a big part in the
Land League convention at Chicago.
Since then he has seen many irish
storms. in Parliament and out. He
stuck by PARNEIL to the bitter end
and then, after PARNEIL's death,
ioined the anti-Parnellites. He OPP
posed JOHN REDMOND for his timidity
and the Sim Fein for its violence.
HEALY has played many parts
orator, statesman, journalist and law
yer-and he has been successful In
all of them. But he has always been,
more than anything else, TIM HEALY.
Now, for the first time, he takes a
role in which he cannot dictate poll
cies. A Governor-General, like the
sovereign whom he represents,
"reigns but does not govern" He Will
he in Ireland but not so much OF Ire
land as he was in the ancient days.
England's selection OF Mr.. HEALY
as the executive head OF the Free
State is a piece Of rare tact. The
sneers Of the irreconcilables were all
ready for the arrival of some titled
Briton; sneers which would say TO
Ireland that she was free in name
only. And now, in addition to
Parliament which is 100 per cent.
Irish. comes Governor-General who
might be called 101 per cent. Irish.
A Corkonian ascends the throne.
Nothing Is impossible when a Tory
Government sends TIM HEALY to rep
resent the Crown. How the reminis-
cent Mr.. RALFouR must chuckle in his
eminent sleeve!

The Lusitania's Cargo.
All Facts Matters OF Judicial Rec.
ord, Judge Lac0mbe Points Out.

To THE New YORK HERALD: You fea-
ture to-day the publication OF the report
Of Dudley Field Malone. Collector Of the
Port. made to the Secretary OF the
Treasury, Mr. McAdoo. on juno 4. 1915.
and giving Information as to the cargo
and passenger list Of the Lusitania on
her fatal voyage. You state that the
report Is copyrighted by the World.
which seems strange. as It is apparently
a public document.
You also treat its statements as to
cargo and passengers as news. To the
extent that this report indicates tnat
as early as June. 1915. the Administra-
tion was fully advised as to what the
Lusitania did or did not carry 1t is
news But only to that extent.
A few years ago there was tried In
the United States District Court, South
to limit owners liability. All these
questions as to cargo were fully gone
into. all persons cognizant Of lthe facts
were examined and cross-examined
under oath, and Judge Mayer. who
heard the cause. filed an exhaustive
opinion. setting forth the evidence and
conclusions thereon.
So far as I know all the newspapers
in New York-certainly those I then
read did so-featured these conclusions
as news. which they then undoubtedly
were. the cargo and passenger lists be-
ing for the first time established by
sworn testimony sifted by cross-exam-
ination. It is difficult therefore to see
how the statements that the Lusitania
was unarmed. that she carried merely
the permitted 5,40O cases OF metallic
cartridges. no other explosives and no
Canadian troops can be news now.
Most Of us are quick readers and. as
fancy, quick forgetters too. so 1t will
no doubt appear like real news to most
Of your readers.

A Materialist.

The most enchanting landscape only hlls
His thought with coal and iron; In a
lake
He but perceives what wharfage 1t
would take:
And gazing on the everlasting hills
With dreams Of Quarried stone his fancy
thrills;
Tho golden sun and scintillating stars
TO him mean only change ana caien-
dars;
And forests signify but lumber mills.
Yet once for him these hills and skies
and seas.
Tho arid deserts and tho wind swept
moors,
Were not Just moneys scenic properties,
But loveliness and beauty that en-
dures:
But that was in far days, ere power
had cast
Tho greed upon him which devoured
the past.

Swiss Con6scation Smashed.

Switzerlands smashing vote against
property confiscation indicates that
her wage earners In the factories, on
the farms and elsewhere have more
economic sense and more common
sense than some OF our radical men,
bers of Congress. The proposal of
the Swiss Socialists and Communists
was 20 take away private property
from its owners, the confiscation tax
beginning with per cent. whenithe
property amounted to $4,000 and
going as high as so per cent. on prop
erty valued at 100000. Under the
law they had right to put the ques-
ton to popular vote by petition.
This they did, but the level headed
Swiss voters, knowing this would
simply junk the country's productive
agencies, voted down the scheme
seven to one.
Here in this country the radical
agitation in and out of Congress to
take all or part Of the accumulated
surplus OF industrial and business
. concerns is not one whit different
from the Swiss proposal which was
defeated so -crushingly. The proposal
of the Swiss Communists was to take
part of the goods out of merchants
shop, the assets of factory or a
farm, the bank deposit Of corpora
tion, firm or an individual. All that
is property.
The proposal Of the American radi-
Gals to have the Government seize by
heavy taxes part Of the accumulated
surplus of industry and business sim
ply means that the Government would
have to tear the industry or the busi-
ness to pieces to get its tax. For
what they are after is property, the
same kind of property as the Swiss
radicals were after. And 1t is prop
erty which is an integral part of the
industry or business.
The surplus which business has
IS not kept in sacks OF gold. 1t is
not held in bales OF securities. 1t is
I'm brick and mortar and stone foun-
dations and walls, steel buildings,
machinery and other physical things
built into and made a fundamental
part OF the industry and business.
Instead OF paying out all It's earn
ings as it made them the railroad
has plowed part of those earnings
year after year into roadbed and
trackage, into bridges and terminals,
rolling stock and equipment. That
is the surplus. The great industrial
concern in the same way has piled
up its surplus by putting part of IFS
annual earnings into bigger and
more efficient workshops. greater
power plants. finer machinery and
more adequate tools.
SO when the proposal is for the
Government TO take n railroads sur
plus it is equivalent to a proposal for
the Government to tear up and carry
off some OF the railroads rails and
ties and switches, spans out of
bridges, locomotives from the tracks.
II is proposal to dlsmantle the
railroad.
When the proposal IS to take the
kurplus Of steel company Il is
equivalent to a proposal to carry off
some Of It's furnaces. rolling mills,
real estate under the very machinery
that is doing the company's work
. and giving employment to its men.

established fund Of 100000. to be
known as the Charles A. Cofin Foun-
dation, the income from which Is
to be devoted to encouraging the
study and the application of the
science of electricity. The General
Electric Company thus pays public
and enduring tribute to the man who
was its president from its organiza-
tion until 1918 and chairman of its
board from 1918 until this year
to CHARLES A. COFFIN. business
man and fnancier, to whom the elec-
trical industry in the United States
owes much of its rapid and sound
development.
Mr.. COFFIN Is Maine man, en-
dowed with the quality Of common
sense so conspicuously possessed by
the leaders of thought and action the
Pine Tree State has given to the
nation, and gifted with breadth Of
vision that enables him to visualize
business as something more than an
opportunity to pay fair wages to
workers and to earn fair profits for
stockholders. The history of the
General Electric Company is the his
tory of CHARLES A. COFFIN, and the
history of CHARLES A. COFFIN is one
of constant striving to improve on
the best that has yet been done.
The Research Laboratory Of the
General Electric Company at Sche-
nectady, with the distinguished SCI
enlist DR.. WILLIS r. WHITNEY at the
head of its numerous staff Of inves-
tigators, is one Of the concrete exam
pies of the practical application Of
Mr.. CoFFIN's ambition to put Ameri-
can industry in the forefront. In this
great institution Mr. COFFIN has used
for the advancement Of science all
the resources of the great corpora
tion he has built up. The fruits Of
its expensive and patient Inquiries
have been made available to the pub
lie; no selfish purpose has animated
it's administration. The record Of
its contribution to the cause of the
nation in tho war has never been
told. When 1t is another inspiring
chapter Of devoted patriotism will
be written.
The policy and the practices Of the
corporation which Mr.. COFFIN has d.
rected as it forged its way to world
wide Importance were the natural ex-
pressions of his keen intelligence. his
wide sympathy and his ambition to
achieve that success which those at
tain who raise the standard of man
kinds comfort, safety and happiness
by enlarging mans opportunity to
do for himself. Mr.. COFFIN opened
new fields of employment, gave new
rewards to manual skill and intellec-
tual capacity. offered new incentive
to men and women to spend their
talents in bettering the world they
live in. 1t is in keeping with this
that his monument should be per-
manent foundation which will afford
in the years to come recognition and
encouragement to other toilers In the
calling in which Mr.. CoFFIN's genius
has been displayed.
The circumstance that Mr.. Corr
r1N's associates have conferred this
honor while he may personally infiu-
ence the course of its development,
should he be so inclined, gives added
testimony to the respect and conf
dence those who know him most inti-
niately repose in him.
