REFORM THAT MEANS BUSI-

NESS IN CHINA

Nobody prophesies as to China un-

til after the event It is the kingdom-of celestial uncertainties Neverthe-less in the two months which haveelapsed since the dismissal of the greatYuan Shihkai so many good deedshave been brought forward to sustain

much good talk that the outsiderhas genuine warrant to hope forprogress

Yuan Shihkai was the organizer ofthe old household Under his handthe aftermath of the Boxer disturb-ances developed into a plan to modernize the Chinese army The deathof the Dowager Empress transferred-the reins to the hands of Prince Chunbelieved by foreigners resident inPeking to be a man somewhat austerestudious standing aloof from the corruptions and luxuries of h ssociatesToward such a prince as regent for theyoung Emperor irnan Shihkai is saidto have borne himself so overbearinglyRS to make the latters degradation indispensable to the dignity of the courtWhen this action was taken there wasgeneral Washington as wellas in Tokyo possibly even in Peking-as well as in fear it in-

volved a discontinuance of Yuan Shihkais good works

The regent is to be a man ofhigh character by any reasonablestandard It means something thensomething for good and responsiblegovernment when Prince Chun givesout through the censor Chao Chuhyuan a statement that the throne isgenuinely bent on introducing constitutional government which shall besomething different from the mere apprHntraent of a few favorites to drawsalaries on the plea of carrying it outThe manifesto goes on

The people having paid duties andtaxes it be right for themto be acquainted with the mode inwhich the authorities have expendedthe moneys In recent years muchpeculation has prevailed In financialaffairs In the different provinces andnot only do the people not dare toquestion the provinces but the throneItself cannot scrutinize them Howcould government be

a state of affairsexistedThere is something Yankee in the

very tone of that statement It readslike Lincoln up to the last sentencewhich rings like Roosevelt The oldold story shows all throughmid the people people and the taxesThey are the forces which have cometogether for every step of occidentalprogress to Ward government by consti-tution If we can accept this showingas to the present trend in China theyare the forces which promise real re-

form and real stability in that Orientalempire which numbers its people bycounting every fourth man in the wholeworld

So much for the regents wordssome of his deeds

He begins in the royal household bycutting down a bill for 36000 taels forthree sedanchairs as preposterous andenjoining rigid economy on the comptrollers He makes excursions outsidethe palace in street rickshas like anyordinary being and sees conditions forWmeelf He eliminates middlemen inmaking appointments to high officeH orders all provinces to submit theirbudgets to Peking and forbids the rais-ing of loans Ayifcliout authority fromthe regent He orders an examina-tion into the accounts of all viceroysand governors Best of all he dis-

bands a command of uniformedthe Manchu Banner Corps

with a system for teaching the mentrades and making them support themBclves

All ffite may not work out But itwould indicate that at lastreform inChina has passel the stage ot de-

pendency on any Yuan Shihkai

Bryan the crusader Not so high-

a title perhaps as Bryan the Presidentbut just as honorable and certain to beat least as honored

PERIL TO PROSPERITY INSITUATION

Peril to the reviving industrial pros-

perity of the nation lies in the nego-

tiations between the anthracite mine-

workers and their employers whichhave jut been opened-

It is a menace overshadowing allothers that appear in the news Al-

ready the operators with thf dominating Bacr at their head have definedtheir position and pronounced theirultimatum In effect it is that theywill go no further in the making ofterms than a renewal of the existingagreement for a torm of three years

Unfortunately for the mine workersand for the third party to the disputethe public Thomas Lewis the newpresident of the United Mine Workers-

of America appears to be committed-to an enforcement of the demandsformulated by the union In his recent campaign for the presidency hereceived almost time unanimous votesof the locals in the anthracite fieldwith the understanding that he wasthe man to obtain for the Pennsylvaniamine workers improved working andliving conditions His opponent JohnH Walker of Danville ill pledged-his best efforts to the same end butbest efforts did not satisfy the men

They wanted a pledge of somethingstronger-

So it comes that Lewis is in thispredicament If he shall accept theoffer of the operators to renew theexisting agreement he will lose thesupport of those union men who ex-

pect more wages a shorter workdaythe checkoff system payment byweight of mined coal and their otherformulated demands If lIe shall refuse to accept the propositions of thecompanies he will plunge the anthra-cite region into a businessbreakingstrike and perhaps will check thetide of national prosperity that is beginning to flow into the industrialcenters

The operators are of opinion thatLewis will not prove to be time wi e

cool capable leader that John Mitchellwhen the miners won the strikes-

of 1900 and 1902 They haveed the effect of a prolonged struggle-by heaping up huge piles of coal intheir stock yards There is reason tobelieve that they would welcome astrike as a means of getting rid of thissurplus at a price above the usualsummer rate

The time to counsel moderation onboth sides is now not when the unionsand the operators have become embittered by fruitless abreach of negotiations

THE WEATHER BUREAU ANDITS CRITICS

It would be useless to denygrim joke of the weather forecasterspredicting fair and colder weather forinauguration day has brought theweather service under a measure ofcriticism which may prove most unfortunate On the whole the weatherservice is a good and useful institutionand instead of losing tIle confidence ofthe public and being possibly handicapped in future fby reason of a disposition to regard it as a joke unworthy of maintenance it ought to beimproved and provided with better facilities In warnings to seagoing ves-

sels alone it saves its total cost twentytimes over in a year

Weather is a commodity in whose

manufacture vat factors mnke them-selves potent Of interplanetary relations of such phenomena as sunspotsand the like we know little In grnoral the relations of the great landand water areas of the globe to the at-

mospheric conditions and air currentsare pretty well understood

But weather like commerce nointrastate affair It is without re-

gard for boundary lines It is inter-national and intercontinental Predic-tions and Atudies of based-

on a limited area of observation arenecessarily more or less uncertain In-

stead of crippling the weather serviceby giving it less consideration a wisepolicy would be to secure an international agreement for gathering worlddata and making it possible to basestudies ou observation of the wholeNorthern Hemisphere

A year or two ago the Weather Bu-

reau worked out a scheme o f securingdaily reports from the North PacificAlaska the Aleutian Islands andpoints in Manchuria Japan Siberiaand Russia Thus a girdle would beplaced arouiid the globe slid the areaof observation could be infinitely ex-

tended It was believed that something like complete reports from theNorthern Hemisphere would make pos-sible a pretty satisfactory forecast forlive or six days and perhaps longerFor some reason substantialhits come of this project probably be-

cause difficulties in getting-the information transmitted It doesnot seen that this difficulty ought ul-

timately to prevent such plan beingcarried out

If the weather sorvioe is not what-It ought to be the proper proceeding

SOME LESSONS OF THE STORMOVERHEAD WIRES

levellers in modern American citieshave so many conveniences and havegrown so accustomed to ilifn thatwhen they are unexpectedly deprivedof them they are put to it to getalong depend upon the publicservice corporations for so many thingsthat when something happens to putthem out of business the consequencesare disagreeably felt in a hundreddifferent directions furnish uslight water and in some cases heatand take us to and from home tobusiness When a storm like that oflast Wednesday paralyzes their en-

ergies thousands of people are forced-to their wits end to get along

Many of the conveniences which thecity dweller now looks upon as a matter of course and which almost everyhousehold has still unknown tomany of the welltodo abroad Takethe matter of hot water for exampleIn every modern house in this countrythere is a supply of hot water alwyson tap In many houses in Europehot water must still be had in theoldfashioned way of putting the ket-tle on the fire and heating it Visitorshere arc amazed at the ease withwhich the American housewife is supplied with this and other householdnecessities We have grown so accus-tomed to relying upon outside agen-cies for many of them that whenthe outside agency fails it goes hardwith us

But the public on tlu whole takesuch hardships goodnaturedly Theyrecognize the fact that the variouspublic service corporations aretheir best to meet the andthey grin and bear the situation withpretty good grace all things consid-ered Of course the lesson that im-

mediately impresses itself upon us isthe necessity of getting into conduitsall wires that can possibly be putunderground The inconveniences ofthis past week and the danger wher-ever there was a tangle of brokenwires present an unanswerable argu-ment for doing away with an overheadwire wherever possible

A Blessing FromThe Blizzard

The storm which occurred on Marchwhile most distressing in its im-

mediate effects may result in perma-nent good In this latitude the chancesare that the weather on March f willbe inclement Not once in ten yearsperhaps is it mild enough to make sit-ting out of doors or marching through-the streets agreeable There is

not one single valid and su tstantial reason why the date of thePresidential inauguration should not bchanged and there are reasons why it should be changed It isonlr necessary to extend the term ofone President for a few weeks and ex-tend the short sessions of CongressThis can be done by constitutionalamendment and where there is no stfbstantial objection to a proposed

it is a simple and easy matter toadopt it Senator Depew or New Yorkon Saturday Introduced a resolutionproposing an amendment to extend thepresent Presidential term to the lastWednesday in April 1313 and to fix theinauguration of Mr Tafts successor onthat date and pf future Presidents onthe last Wednesday in April instead-of March 4 In Washington the latterpart of April is always balmy and mildwith flowers blooming in the squaresand public gardens A visit to the Capital at that season is delightfi andth city is at its best There is nodanger in being out of doors or sitting-on the stands to watch the parade andthe loss of life from sickness whichnearly always follows an inaugurationwill he avoided

Another benefit to the country whichit Is anticipated would attend thischange Is the lengthening of the shortterm of Congress This would give moretime for a mature consideration of legis-lation and especially of the great appropriation bills The short session ofCongress is only three months from thebeginning of December to the beginning-of March Out of this the Christmasholidays are to be taken leaving anInsufficient time for the proper consideration of bills appropriating 1003000000 with thousands of items The present practice is to rush through Congress-a bill carrying millions of dollars withscarcely time allowed for the membersto read it More time for deliberationwould give opportunity for the exercise-of economy

Mr Depews resolution must first re-ceive the votes of twothirds of themembers of each house of Congress-and then o to the Legislatures of theStates for ratification After receiving-the approval of the Legislatures ofthreefourths of the States it would be-come a part of the Constitution It Isnot conceivable that any member ofeither the Senate or House will voteagainst this resolution in the face f theexperience of last Thursday nor thatit will be rejected by the Legislatureof any State We believe that therewill be a session of the Legislature ofevery State of the Union before henext inauguration and the ratificationof the amendment can therefore bo

in time Senator Depewj resolu-tion should be passed promptly at theextra session which been calledby the President
