President Taft's strength of should soon be vindicated as thoroughly as Mr.

Roosevelt's strength of courage and of 'temperament often was. The Senate will send back to rhe House a tariff measure which the House will not accept. A Conference Committee of the two branches will rhen find that President Taft must be satisfied with any measure they may pass, or he will veto it straightway, with his reasons. We predict he will not let it become a law without his signature, as Mr. Cleveland did with the Gorman-Wilson law, and Mr.

Taft knows that Mr. Cleveland regretted that he did so to the end of his life. Mr. Taft will seek to have no wrong bill sent to him. If one is, he Will veto it, either leaving the Dingley In force or holding Congress together until it passes a law which he can consistently sign.

There will be no wrong measure passed, if Mr. Tnft's advice is followed. No wrong measure passed, will escape Mr. Taft's veto or escape his itateinent of the kind of bill which, be thinks, should be passed. Failure to pass the right kind of bill will fall on Congress, not on the Pwwilent.

None need be precipitate in forecasting final tariff results. The, 'Senate is not yet through changing the Payne bill into the Aldrlch bill. That the House will seek, to change the Aldriuh bill buck to. the Tayne bill, as far us the features of one can be changed to the other, or will make the features of both combined in a composite for the consideration of the President. Either a long time or close consideration in a short time will be required for that.

Short consideration, signifying close examination, would lie preferable for the country's interests. From such consultation Mr. Taft's known views and frankly stated fundamental propositions cannot be left out of account, if the Dingley law is to be changed at all. Quibbles about "action upward or downward" are word-catches. Mr.

Taft is thinking mainly about consumers. He is not forgetting producers or manufacturers or importers or exporters. They are carried in his mind very properly, but consumers, the main body of people, are his great consideration and his solicitude. Those who take them into chief account will find that he is also taking them into chief account. He and they can cooperate, and others can hardly co-operate with at least lilnj' or he with them, unless they come to his line.

The matter is now one of stages first and then will become one of details. The stages can be expedited. The details, which need not be anticipated, will settle themselves and are of more concern to "economists" than to statesmen. The latter can quickly adjust details to the large object required. It is on the large object, the adjustment of duties or taxes to needed expenses and to promised justice, the legislators will find President Taft intent and determined.

The sooner i the leading members of Congress of Mr. Taft's party realize that Mr. Taft I' is and must be the main power to be kept in view, the better for them, the better for the public and the better for the party which holds Congress by no unchangeable tenure. Safety Appliances for Street Cars The order of the Public Service Com- mission to the various street car com- pames to equip an tneir cars with either fenders or wheel guards, ami I in some cases with hoth appliances, is a logical outcome of various steps taken by that body, and illustrates the value of the work it does, which makes small stir in the newspaiwrs. The first step was making public monthly the reports of all accidents in which street cars were involved.

I President Winter of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit in a speech before the Municipal Club on Tuesday night. Mr. Winter asserted that of every flve-cent fare collected on the system of which he is the head all but the third of a cent is absorbed, by charges fbr operation, maintenance, paving, Interest and rentals. The present charge for-trans-portatiou to the Island is cheap when the length of the ride Is 'considered. To cut it in halt would entail a confiscation that be.

contrary, to fundamental law and against -whicu the railroads could, successfully protest to the courts. A Distinction That Is Not a Difference The presidency Is now reduced to quietude. It is administered In the manner and spirit of Mr. The difference from the manner and spirit of Mr; Roosevelt is very marked by all, but should be a surprise to uoue. It js a natural difference, and which quality' Is "the better should be for unfledged debating clubs to consider, not for grown up folk.

While Mr. Taft will be responsible for his administration, Mr. Roosevelt is responsible for the nomination of Mr. Tnft. He probably secured It just because of the difference between them 1n mind and in temperament.

Mr. Roosevelt could not have expected Mr. Taft to be his copy or under study and Mr. Taft could not make himself any copy or understudy of Mr. Roosevelt, if he would.

Nothing stable and fundamental which Mr. Roosevelt accomplished will be reversed by Mr. Taft. Nor will the value of it escape Mr. Taft's frank acknowledgment.

But much of a healing and reuniting quality, 'Which Mr. Roosevelt cofild not use, since he did not have it. will be accomplished by Mr. Taft. None should be more gratified by that than- Mr.

Roosevelt himself. There will, of course, be differences between the treud, methods and consequences of the two administrations, but those who from that deduce any hostility between the two wrongly attribute evolution to anger. Such are superficial and not philosophic. The Board of Education does well to give to the Public Schools Athletic League iiermission to use the athletic fields belonging to the city for bail playing on Sunday between the hours of 1 and 6 in the afternoon. This will be objected to by well-meanlug people, who believe that the principle of Sunday observance is outraged by indulgence in any physical sport, whatsoever.

They will try to have the Board of Education rescind Its action, but they will not succeed if the board con siders the best interests of the boys whom the Athletic League genuinely serves by encouraging honest and healthful recreation. Boys will play ball on Sunday, and if barred from the athletic fields will have recourse to the streets where they become a public nuisance, and where their morals are in danger of contamination. It is Infinitely better that they should have the free tise Of the athletic fields on that day under such care as will be bestowed upon'their amusement by the officers of the Public Schools Athletic League. MAYORALTY POSSIBILITIES. XIV.

Francis Key Pendleton. Although of social prominence and with an excellent legal reputation, Francis Key Pendleton was unknown" politically until he was appointed corporation coun sel of New York by Mayor McClellan, in 1907. He Is, nevertheless, regarded as a mayoralty possibility, under certain contingencies of compromise, by shrewd Tammany politicians. As head of the clty'a law department Mr. Pendleton has been admittedly efficient.

While not attaining the publicity of some of his predecessors he has disposed of the clty'a tremendous legal business with energy atfj with a conscientious supervision of details. Mr. Pendleton's manners are perfection. He Is easily accessible. Hia courtesy and obligingness are standards for other officials to As a speaker Mr.

Pendleton makes an excellent Impression. He has the faculty of presenting a case clearly aad logically; but be cannot be called an1 orator. Mr. Pendleton has been a Democrat all his life. He lives in what la called the "Diamond Hacked" Twenty-ninth Assembly District of Manhattan and, while a member of the local Tammany club has never participated actively in organization affairs.

He was born in Ohio, fifty-seven years ago, and is a descendant, of the distinguished Pendleton family of Virginia. His grandfather was Francis Scott Key, who wrote "The Star Spangled Banner." His father was George H. Pendleton, who represented Ohio as a Democrat In the United States Senate and who was a candidate for the vice presidency on the Democratio ticket Iff 1864, when the Mayor's father, Geaeral George B. McClellan, was the candidate for the presidency. Mr.

Pendleton is a graduate of Harvard and is a member of the law firm of Anderson, Pendleton Anderson. He was at one time a director of several corporation's, Including the Title Insurance Company and the New York Mortgage and Securities Company. He laa member of many clubs, Including the 'Metropolitan, Manhattan Riding aad Driving, Union, Meadowbrook, Knickerbocker and Democratic Clubs. MOHAMMEDANISM GAINING. tSsrah Koten.

I mean the i and for Brooklyn and QneeiTs for fenders on. all cars. A time allow ance until July 1 has been given to the companies to experiment with the various types of fender, after which date fenders of some efficient sort must be provided; If after the order goes into effect accidents persist, which it seems probable that the wheel guards would avert, the com mission still has the recourse of fol lowing the Staten Island precedent and ordering both fenders and wheel guards. This sort of street car supervision is not especially spectacular. It does not produce big headlines, but it does make travel more safe, and that is wliut the commission is for.

Governor Hughes and the Legislature The Legislature has agreed to adjourn to-morrow. The Governor may advise it not to do so, or he may recall it into extra session, should adjourn then. Until it has actually adjourned, comment on what it has done, failed to do or -attempted can well be deferred. There are some conclusions, how ever, that nre already justified. The Legislature began with a purpose to magnify itself and to minimize the Governor.

It has "progressed" only with the result of minimizing itself and magnifying the Governor. Its purpose was not censurable. The Leg islature needed to magnify itself, for it had lost importance and respect. little reduction In Importance would not have been permanently Injurious to the executive office, for it had ex ceeded the' due proportion it should exercise under otir co-ordinate system. The close of the session, however, finds public opinion inclined toward the Governor and unfavorable to the Legislature, though not to the total extent that clear thinking and writ ing might prefer.

The Governor has gained and the Legislature has de clined. The reason is neither far to seek uor hard to find. The Governor has been distinct and direct. The Legislature has been unskillful in trying to anticipate him or to qualify his "programme." Between knowing what he wants and making an uuled or misled Legislature afraid to oppose him to the limit, the Governor has had an advantage over a divided and disunited Senate and Assembly. Right or wrong, the Governor hus been bold and intelligible.

Wrong or right, the Legislature has been timid, disunited and flabby. And ut the close the Legislature has piled up on the Governor a lot of bills which he can veto or let die and has left on his hands a number of emergent propositions which he can recall the body to consider, one by one, as he may chose to divulge them. Either to flunk or to parry the Legislature does nut know how. The Legislature has not vindicated itself and the Gov ernor, whether by boldness or by patience and strategy, liiis re-established himself and his. office in public prestige.

Between one who knows, how mid fears not and' a body that does nut know tinii Jie'itafes rind dallies, 'the distinction Tile Governor can put the Legislature on tho red-hot griddlo of an extra session," or can simply let the Legislature stew in its own juice. We think he will do the latter. The Governor will not have his entire way. The Legislature will almost wholly fail to have its way. But a man who denyiud absolutely and clearly stands to get much.

A body which shillyshallies gets little and hardly deserves that little. Less than a Republican majority iu the Legislature sides with the Governor, but a minority does side with him, and the plurality of his party fears him, with the result that the minority, with the Governor added, is preventing results or coercing them at will. Mr. Raines in the Senate has less power over finalities than the deposed Sultan. Mr.

Merritt in the Assembly has little more 'final power than Mr. Raines in the Senate. The long boasted coalition between the Democrats and the Republican plurality has disappeared in the sand or up a tree, Mr. Raines is desperate and demoralized, but the Lieutenant Governor is neither surprised nor- alarmed. Mr.

Merritt is splenetic -and threatening, but Speaker WadswoVth has. neither antagonized the Governor nor offended the state. And Senator Root, who was to be monitor and master of the situation, has not come to the front at all, mid lias a clear ruason for letting a dazed and scared Republican plurality in the two houses work out their own Kilkenny cat fight to the last claw and to the last hair. Olive Logan. Twenty years ago had the death of Olive Logan been announced, all of the public that read the papers and attended the theaters would have recognized the name and passed on to the serious nfi'alrs of life with the regret that so brilliant a career, in which there was promise of greater things to come, had been so summarily ended.

Now, when her death is an- nounced, nearly all of that public will the obtllarT P0lumn to lenrn wliy thnt (U.atU is g0 prominently mentioned. 01lV(J Logun was an actress, a play- wright, a novelist, a niagaziuist and a newspaper writer. From I860 until 1883, a period of twenty-five years, she was constantly In the public eye, and, Indeed, conspicuously so. During the subsequent period she dropped gradually out of sight until some ten vears ago she passed out of view While this marriage was an unhappy one and ended In divorce, the connection influenced her in the direction of the pen. She settled in Paris, lieginning i.r-t career as a writer.

Her "Photographs of Paris Life," originally contributed to the Paris and London press, was published in. form in this country and opened the way to her long connection with the Ameri can press and magazines. After the turned to America a strong advocate of the Northern side, her writings being of a highly patriotic character. In 1804 she returned to the stage, in a play of her own, "Eveleen," starring in it. Later she was identified with Chanfrau's long run of "Sam," the superstitious brother of Lord Dundreary.

In lSt'iC she married William Wirt Sykes, another writer, who was United States consul to Cardiff at the time of his death, in After this marriage she returned exclusively to her pen. She wrote, for Augustine Daly, "Surf," a highly successful comedy; dramatized and Coppee's "Le Passant." She wrote much ou theatrical topics at this period. Later she produced three novels which attained a certain tie gree of success. Her style was crisp and forcible, and she was not lack iug in humor. In English periodical literature she found strong place for several years.

She had aiwlde acquaintance among the public men of America in her time and the' literary people of London and Paris. She was also a fine linguist, a fact Hint opened to her the pages of many publications in foreign tongues. Her descent begun after the deatli of Mr. Sykes in She married again In London, not advisedly, a young man, her secretary. Her powers failed her.

She 'drifted back to. this country. Three years ago she was recalled to her old admirers by her ap-pearance In the courts in poverty. seeking support from her husband. In a short time her mind failed; ahd she was confined in an asylum to die at the age of 70.

A sad ending to a very bright career. Oscar S. Straus. The dinner to Mr. and Mrs.

Oscar S. Straus in Manhattan, last night, signalized the return to private life of a diplomat and of a Cabinet official who has ably rendered important and unique service. The words of William McCarroll, who presided, and of Dr. Lyman Abbott, who followed him, and the remarks of Mr- Straus himself, after others had spoken, made a record for the occasion which will not be forgotten by those who took part In it, and should not be forgotten by history. Mr.

Straus twice effected in Turkey, as our minister there, first sent by Grover Cleveland, and secondly by William McKlnley, results for education, progress and peace that had never before been attained and have never since been equaled by our representatives in the Ottoman empire. As a member of the Cabinet of Theodore Roosevelt, Straus also organized the Department of Commerce and Labor on lines that will bind and guide ills successors in all the future. The return of Mr. Straus to private life will not be marked by inertia or wasting ease. His sense of duty and his availability for civic service will both prevent Hut his return from -public life to private citizenship is backed by a record to be remembered and by signal achievements that nre gratefully appreciated.

A Deserved Tribute. The men who assembled at the Waldorf the other night to, honor Bridge Commissioner James W. Stevenson expressed the general sentiment of tliis community toward that most excellent official. No compliment paid to the guest was undeserved. No estimate of his services overstated the intelligence, industry and energy dis played by him in the service of the city.

Mr. Stevenson's experience in journalism revealed him as a good newspaper man nnd prepared him to become a good public servant. No responsibility thrust upon him has ever been evaded. No duty has been iuade-qitntely discharged. Under his administration the cm tying capacity of the BrooKiyn Bridge has been increased, the equiptu-jut of the Williamsburg Bridge has been enlarged, the Queeusboro Bridge pushed to completion, and a record made lu the building of the Manhattan Bridge of which the history of suspension fridge construction affords no parallel.

These are achievements which easily make Mr. Stevenson's administration as Commissioner of Bridges the most remarkable of any since consolidation. The Eagle presents its compliments and congratulations to the Commissioner, and hopes for him as long a term of office as he may be inclined to accept. A Cheap Bid for Popularity. Once again the Legislature makes a cheap bid for popular applause by passing a bill providing for a five-cent fare to Coney Island.

The bill was prepared and passed without investigation of the conditions governing traffic to the islnnd. It is a popular bill because the purpose of It appeals to the enormous tenement population of the city. It is an unjust bill because it Ignores both the right of the railroad companies to be protected against loss and the function of the Public Service Commission to recommend, after due Investigation, the lowering of fares anywhere and everywhere within Its jurisdiction. The Governor vetoed the first flve-cent fare bill. The supporters of the bill in the Legislature knew he would do so before the bill was passed, and they knew his reasons in advance of bis statement of them.

Mr. Hughes was, and is, very careful, thnt none of the powers entrusted to the Public Service Commission shall be Indirectly nullified or disregarded by the Legislature. Precisely the same reasons that impelled him to veto the first bill exist now to invite a veto of the second. There was no Investigation by the Legislature. No attempt was made to I determine whether the bill was an injustice to the transportation companies.

Such a bill was demanded on the East Side, and it was pushed through the Legislature, leaving to the Governor the ultimate responsibility for Its fate. He is not afraid of responsibility. He is one of those public servants who do what they conceive to he their duty regardless of the effect of their action upon their popularity with the musses. In conclusion wc commend the attention of those who think a five-cent fare to Coney Island Is just A group of tea accredited American painters show twenty-one specimens of their work, some of It being new, at tba Montross Galleries, 372 Fifth avenue, Manhattan, until May 8. As twelve of the examples are landscapes, and three are marines.

It would seem that there Is no Immediate danger of our artists for saking out of door subjects and running into portraiture. William Chase has a little scene that is choice for Its delicacy fcolor, for it shows a gray day on a wide tract. Jewel-like In Its flashing colors is Elliott Dalngerfleld's "In the Mountains." Childe Hassam has a virile street scene, "Winter Afternoon," wltn however, a too indeterminate sky, while two little marines are full of sparkle. W. L.

Lathrop gets sunlight fairly down Into the roots of a wide stretch of grass bordering upon "A Rivulet," and with equal broadness of brush handling in his A Little Valley," the picture lacking academic balance for lack of "interest," but more than making up for this In Its beautiful tone. Garl Melehers mingles ideality with actuality In his "Winter Evening," Bryant Park;" this artist seems to get at the soul of things and this is seen also In bis truthful "North River," in which he puts on canvas, Just the right tint for a lot of red buildings on the near Bhore, a tone that Is never garish, but yet a foil for the sofa gray surface of the river just beyond. And early J. Francis Murphy Is "After the Rain." in which mellow sunlight on far-away clouds, nearby storm clouds and moisture from each seem to run together in. a most atmosphere.

J. Alden Weir has all the strength and stillness of a classic in "Late Aftor. noon," a range of barerllmbed trees in the foreground set against foliage in the middle distance, and sunlight sleeping over all. His "November," an old ivond lot, Is convincing and so are his "Spring and June," the latter Juicy in its gresns. A.

P. Ryder has a rare "Moonlight," painted with the richness and daring of primitives, the force of light throwing the big clouds almost Into black relief against the sky radiance, the foil to this effect being two sail boats struggling along ibelow on a troubled sea, their sails cutting sharply across a low cloud rack. Gari Melehers has one of his powerful genre's in a richly colored and broadly painted "Maternity," and Mr. Chase shows one of his beautifully modeled and convincing portraits, a "Lady in Black." T. W.

Dewing's "Lady Playing with a Mac-caw" has been described here it is a sensitive and beautiful work and the list closes with two excellent pictures by John H. Fry. "Lorelei," and "The Bathers," containing aemi-nudes. delicate, subdued and refined in the posing, drawing and the painting. Mr.

Chase has one of his precious little still life studies. This week Bolton Covit Brown will have on view at his studio, 106 East Twenty-third street, Manhattan, twenty pictures in oil, recently painted by him. Mr. Brown has the power of painting a scene as a type, all incidentals omitted and yet without-undue emphasis In paint rhotoric in emphasizing his point of view, which remains strongly individual, in his earlier style he was highly pictur esque and more highly colorful than he Is in these later works. In these he Joins Intellect with emotion, his color is more precious and subtle than before, and, moreover, in his lines and in the calmness of his harmonies he shows the influence of the Japanese style.

The suggestive and not the full expression has captured him, and it would seem that he has reached the point where he paints with as little color as possible. A "Snow Scene" is one that one might dream, without seeing it in reality; a twilight, With moon, makes one feel the darkness beginning to settle on the landscape. Very subtly rendered is a stream at the bottom of a deep canyon, while color charm is on every inch, of a "Chinese Fishing Each df the pictures is a distinct creation. At the Engineers Club, in West Fortieth street, Manhattan, until May 3, a loan exhibition of paintings by American artists Is on view.

PERSONAL AND IMPERSONAL. The Sultan got a trifle more scarum than harum this time. Bridee Commmlssioner Stevenson is making good. The loving cup presented to him is not Jug-handled. The poor fellow who yells for mercy when the police are "mugging" him needs someone to comfort him with the assurance that he may be both sane and Innocent, in which case he will get his rights back when legal proof has been extracted from him.
