There never was so much of this indifference as at the present time. 'The mayor has had to rebuke it from his seat in the council, and the chairman of the board of education has had to wait, not once but several times, until members could be telephoned for and a suffici- ent number of them drummed wp to make a quorum, This is not the way the public men were expected to act, and it is pretty nearly time that something were done to emphasize | their dereliction of duty and make the continuance of it impossible, USE OF LARGE POWER. 'A feature of the Public Utilities Act, which the New York State legis- Inture has passed, is the tremendous power it gives to the governor. He appoints the commissions--two of them, of five members each, with in- dividual salaries of 815,000, and two its at $6,000 each. The gov- émor can also remove them. If he be satisfied at any time that these offic: ers of state are inefficient or incapa- ble or fail to do their uty, accord ing to his standard. of excellence, ho can displace them. This is extraordin- ary power, - anth power "which only the strong man can exercise judicious "Mr. Hughes had an experience which was educative, He undertook to re move the superintendent of insurance on the ground that he was not effect- ing the reforms which the Armstrong commission made necessary. The senate defeated the governor's recom- mendation, but it did not dage to re- sent the wider demands of the Utili- ties' Act, It had heard so much of the public indignation over the insurance case that it was sacred regarding the larger measure and gave to the gov- ermor all the power that he desired. With Mr. Hughes there is no danger of an abuse of his reaps. is the | most capable man thay has held office in many a day. Buf'he reigns' for only two years. PE The Utilities commission have to dp with the regulation: of all the com- panies which enjoy public franchises, including railroads, express, car, freight, pipe line, gas and electric companies, the. purpose being to see that 'they account for all their. sarn ings, that stock is * mot watered, and that the people, in reduced fares, suitable accommodation, are given all they are entitled to. Millions upon millions are at stake, and the com- missions that direct the investments without the touch of improper influ- ence will be the of the age. The men: whom Mr. Hughes may select may,' uhder his direstion, be equal to every emergency. But the day may come when the commissions will disappoint the : people, and then the present. ents of the measure will have something to think and talk about, Bend . A -------- ¥ A/MAN; OF THE HOUR. The 'Saturday Byoning Post' gives a personal sketch of Honore Joseph Jaxon, of Chicago, who, in behalf of the labour party, 'addressed a sting- ing note to Mr. Roosevelt some' time ago and protested agnibet his refer fence to 'Moyer and' Heyward and [{ Jebe as "widesirable citizens."

It ought to count for something that Harri- man is not dn trial for crime, but président. evidently. has his opin- breed, who was formerly associated with Riel in our North-West rebellion. He is alleged to have been arrested, for complicity in Riel's raids, but broke out of Fort Gerry and fled the Jeountry,. His case was covered by the amnesty which Canada passed in later years, but Jaxon never took ad- vantage of it. He is a man of re markable attainments, and in his time has acted as labour leader, doo- tor, oculist, chemist, trapper, archi- tect, hunter, lawyer, solicitor, anar- chist, spirit-fruitist, colonizer and let- ter writer. There is no limit to his capacity for work, and especially to hia: capacity 'for agitation. Yet with- all he is a' peaceful man. He does not "believe in violence, and though an anarchist is a philosophical one. "The achievement on which he prides himself most," says the Evening Post, "was the organisation of the Soli- citors' and Canvassers Union. He wanted to be a delegate to the Cen- tral Federation of Labor and he need- el a union to send him. When you think that anybody who offers any- thing for sale, from shoestrings to stocks and bonds, is eligible' to join that union, the acuteness of Jaxon's intellect is proved. He will never lack supporters. Thus, when he took his Pen in hand and wrote to the presi- dent : 'Hoping these few lines will find you well, but how about this--' and got a reply hot off the bat, he was not surprised. It was the most distingmished rebuke of the year, and Honore Joseph Jaxon knew he would fet a bite when he put his letter on the hook." EDITORIAL NOTES.
