CLEARING BALDWIN OF BLAME It gratifying indeed that the effort made by Republican journals in attempting to justify gubernato- rial procrastination in signing bills by laying the blame for starting the system the late Baldwin, has fallen discovery that Judge nily placed a notation upon the five disputed bills indicating when he received them and when he signed them, and that it did not take him three days to dispose of any of them. As Judge Baldwin had a chief justice of the Supreme Court it was an important point to learn how he interpreted the three-day limit in practice. It is evident that he did not lend his learning as a jurist to the system of signing bills at leisure. The leisure method reached its full flow- er during the terms of Governor Trumbull, although there had been slight evidences of it long before upon last Democratic governor, too, is the plat. Piquant, Baldwin can- been now signing-at- the governors since Baldwin. back as 1877 one or two acts were delayéd in signature beyond three days, but these are inconse- quential indeed compared with the | avalanche that developed in the last decade. Whatever the delinquency blame to developed must he that pub- in signing laid upon Re lican administrations that were widely regarded as functioning fectly during the It is clear from the record that Gov- per- last decade or so. ernor Baldwin was taking thances, and that he realized while governor fhat bills should be signed speedily. as 1he constitution de- bills were brought mands.

But life as we understand it and what we expect of it surely consists of more than this. Pomeroy in effect has been dead to the world for 53 years, and the only difference between his living death and actual death is that for i 33 years he has suf- fered the pangs of remorse, the sting of conecience and the pain of think- ing of what might have been. SEEKING THE EDISON SUCCESSOR is difficult to take the 1t ding geniuses discovered by ish 49 bud- Thomas Edison seriously. There is a boy from each state and the Columbia, and one of the collection is to be the “successot” to Mr. Edi- son. If this is achieved it been the first time in history of | mankind that a genius was discov- ered through the operation of mod- ern efficiency methods. Considering that Mr wasn't discovered that way, and a lot of other geniuges also were not located in such fashion, one can be pardoned for heing skeptical.

COUNCIL BE GOOD aldermen LET THE Although councilmen think of politics first and | public service afterwards, there can denying the fact that the duties of offices are exacling, most and | | | | | | be no such [take up much time, and frequently result in contention and charges that some members are letting the others do most of the work. Especially is this the case in sum- | mer, when hot weather has a Rebili- effect the energies of civic dads and vacations often come tating upon | along just when an important com- | mitice meeting is due. Whatever criticism that can justly levelled against our city be dads on the score of inattention to duties or non-attendance at regular meet- ings can only apply to a compara- tively few. These should realize that the honor that goes with member- ship in the Common Cduncil must be earned by strict attendance to duties, If that is an onerous condition then the only alternating method is to quit being a member. For the others criticism is incon- | sequential. Some play politics ex- cessively, but frequently forget their politics and are motivated by a fair- {1y high conception of public duties They are to be encouraged at every | opportunity. | And when they play the game of { | | politics they need not be surprised at a little torrid criticism. In such a case, that is exactly what is neces- sary.
