It was a little surprising to news- Paper readers that the public utilities eommission upon coming fnto power should immediately turn to a public service company and select an engi- Aeer and inspector to serve the state; but those who know C. C. Elwell of the Consclidated road have no doubt the commission acted wisely, or that the state has had called to its aid one of the most eMclent men In Con- necticut. The first thing requisite for the po- sition is the very knowledge and ex- perience which Mr. Elwell 1s known 10 possess and to have had, There is no man who knows his dutles better than the man who has been trained in public service corporatfons and who is familler with their business, since this qualifies him the better to do his duty. This state has too often had men in its service who knew miore abott poli tics than any other service; and who were handicapped by a lack of knew edge along the very lines they were expected to conduct inquiries; but Mr. Eiwell I8 not such a man and his’ well- established character is a _perfect guaranty that there are no strings attached to him, no influences Tubking around him to deter him from doing his duty by the state: and at the same time we may rest assured that he will do no injustice to the companies con- cerned. The first act of commends it to the sides and assures the commission pmfidence of both the state that its business will not be neglected. The honor came to Mr. Etwell unso- licited and the confirmed character of the man and his recognized fitness leaves no room for dissatisfaction or discomfiture of any sort. Mr. C.

Theodore Roosevelt is. not so much- “|opposea to arbitration as his enemies would make him out. He takes ex- ceptions in The Outlook to the glplfl- matic wording of the treaty, which he does not regard as being clear and straightforward, and he recognizas auestions of honor which cannot be arbitrated. Perhaps his severe eriti- cism of the treaty is the very best it may lead to a more carefully made agreement in (he end. He doesn’t appear as an ememy of Taft, but rather as a friends of his country. He say “The proposed arbitration treaty is defect in the first place, because it s not straightforward. It sets forth that all ‘justiclable’ matters shall be arbigrated, The lanzuage both of the pponents and the defenders of the treaty shows that even among our own people, and before a cause for apply- ing the treaty ‘has arisen, there is hopeless confusion as to what ‘justicia- ble’ means. Such being the case, it can be imagined how useless would be the effort to define “justiciable’ when a serious conflict had actually arisen, and blood was up and passion h “The wording of the treaty is so loose, it so lacks explicitness, as to allow one set of its advocates to an- nounce that it binds us to arbitrate everything, and another set to say that under it we would not have te arbitrate anything we did not wish to. Now, no moral movement is per- manently helped by hypoc! Does the proposal in the treaties, if entered into with various nations, bind us to arbitrate the Monroe doctrine, the Platt amendment with Cuba, the pay- ment of state bonds to Furopeam bondholders, the question whether va- rious European countries are entitled to the same concessions that Canada §s to receive under the reciprocity agreement, the right of other foreign nations to Interfere in Panama, our own right to exclude any immigrants whom we choose to exclude? “Most men of knowledge, who are willing to think, know perfectly well that this country would not, as a mat- ter of fact, keep-an agreement to ar- bitrate all questions of vital honor and interest, even though it were so un- wise as to make'it, and it is a wicked thing to put us in a position of prom- ising what will not, and cannot, be perférmed.” It must be generally agreed that it i€ the part of wisdom to make an agréeement that we can honor rather than one which may bring us into dis- repute among the nations. RISKING HER SOUL. There is something amusing to Am- ericans in the warning of Rudyard Kipling to the people of Canada against the endorsement of the treaty of reci- proei In addressing them through the colimns of the Montreal Star Mr. Kipling said: “It is her own soul that Canada risks today, Once that soul is pawned for any consideration, Canada must inevitably conform to the commercial, legal, financial, social and ethical standards which will be imposed upen her by the sheer admitted weight of the United States. She might, for example, be compelled later on to ad- mit reciprocity in the murder rate of the United States, which at present, 1 believe, is something over 150 a mil- lion per annum.” Our annual murder record is some- thing fierce, but there is nothing in it to indicate that we should murder Canada, or let our murderers loose upon her people. When it comies to grabbing we have to confess John Bull has a champion's reputation for hav- ing taken a strip of this old earth en- circling the globe upon which the sun never sets, and under such circum- stances it is pot strange any English- man is suspicious that Uncle Sam may take after his forbears. The Bulletin assures Mr. Kipling that Uncle Sam has no idea of having Canada for a Christmas present this year. DOESN'T FAVOR INCREASE OF POWER. Governor Baldwin' does not think the power of the chief executive of the state should be increased. cently: n He said re- | my opinion the executive and ative departments should in gen- eral be kept distinct. It is very easy | for a governor to cause the introduc- tion of bills in the legisiature, the en- actment of which he thinks desirable, and to enlist in their favor the efforts of those who share his views. It is also his constitutional function to pro- pose measures to the legislature from time to time. I think this gives him all the influence he needs, and that it would be unwise to confer upon him independent authority to present bills in form to carry such measures into effect: nor should I favor giving our governors powers, in case the legisla- ture fails to pass Such measures as they may fecommend, to present bills embodying such measures to the peo- ple at an elegtion, for the expression of their will in the nature of a réfer- endum. This opinion will be approved by the ent voters of the state. There is no reason why the governor should be empowered to take the enactment of law into his own hand EDITORIAL NOTES.

Bible Question Box Your Bible questions will be an- swered in these columns or by mail if went to our Bible Question Box Editor. Q.—Please explain this Scriptur “Death and hell were cast into the lake of fire, this is the second death?” ‘Answer.—The first death came upon Adam because of sin, and death has been reigning in the earth since, and men_have diesd because of inherited sin. Death is spoken of in the Serip- tures as a great enemy. Under the reign of Christ the dead shall return from the land of the enemy, the tomb, the deéath condition. (Jeremiah xxxi, 1 John v, 28, 28.) All those who have ‘become Christ’s in this life re- celve their trial now. Those who have had no opportunity to accept the Lord will be given a trial then, and if obedient will be rewardsd with eternal life on the earth. The reign of Christ is for the purpose of restoring all that was lost in Adam (Acts iii, 19-22) and as the Scriptures declare: “He must reign_till He hath put all enemies un- der His feet. The last ememy that shall be destroyed is death.” (I Co- rinthians xv, 25, 26). In the Scripture quoted in your question, “hell” is from the Grezk word “Hades,” meaning the tomb. Death means the result of the curse that came upon Adam. The words used by our Lord were figura- tive. The “lake of fire” is a symbol of ‘complete destruction, here called the “second death,” therefore the sec- ond death refers to that death from which there will be no resurrection.
