THEN HE MUST APPROVE IT.

Our evening contemporary regretfully
reports Mayor Steinman as about to veto
the high hat ordinance. The reason at
tributed to the Mayor for such action is
that while he believes the ordinance is
right, strikes at a nuisance and ought to
be the law, yet it should not be passed
into the statute books of the city until
theatrical managers provide dressing
rooms and hat checks for the accommoda-
ton of women patrons of places of public
amusement.
Assuming this to be correct statement
of the Mayors position, then he must, to
be consistent, sign the ordinance, because
it does not require women to remove
their hats in places of public assembly,
nor to wear hats nor prescribe the kind
of hat to be worn, therefore no hat room
Is needed for them. What the ordinance
high and broad necessarily as to deprive
another person of his right to view the
stage, rostrum or platform. 1t is the in
vocation OF the maxim of the law, so use
your own as not to do injury to another.
If the position attributed to the Mayor
is TO obtain in such matters, laws should
not be passed or enforced until offenders
announce their readiness and consent.
That is to say, for instance, "Mr. Mana
ger you should not permit this offense in
your house, and it would be wise and
right to punish you, but until you pro-
vide means for its avoidance you shall
not be forbidden or punished. We will
not even pass an ordinance requiring you
to provide such means, therefore we COM
NIT to you the whole subject and you
may do as your sweet will dictates"
But unfortunately for this fine theory,
the manager comes forward and replies
al do provide the means. I will add to
them the requested attendant to issue
checks and will be responsible for all
goods placed in charge of such attendant.
do not ask that women shall remove
their hats, however, only that they should
not wear umbrellas on their heads. Now
pass your ordinance, since the only OBJ
lection you raise to it is removed"
In this connection woman CORE
spondent writes to US that it is now ex-
aotly four years and five months since the
big hat first made its appearance in the
theater, and she asks if that is not long
enough to endure it without legal pro-
test? And the great public with one
voice, replies, ut is" The same CORE
spondent informs us of what we knew
already, that precisely such ordinance or
regulation is in force and has been for years
in Florence, Venice, Paris, Vienna, Rome
and Berlin, and that such regulation has
always obtained in London, for the of
fensive hat was known as early as the
time of the First Charles, and has been
periodically resurrected and buried and
resurrected again, ever SINCE but always
has been refused countenance within
doors, as a yulgarism, as it is. In fact, nc
lady conscious of the proprieties will
wear a large street hat in an auditorium
She will prefer head-dress suitable fol-

A sCANDALoUs Bull.

A bill has been introduced in the Legis-
lature purporting to be an Act to promote
freedom of speech in courts of justice.
1t should be entitled San Act to muzzle
the courts of justice and give free license
to blackguards to unwind their tongues
in abuse of the rights of the people,"
The bill provides that no one shall be
deprived of the right to practice as an
attorney in a court of the State because
of words spoken or written by him in
argument, unless for such words he shall
have been convicted by jury of a
criminal libel. The second section is
retroactive. and restores to the roll of
attorneys anyone who may have been
disbarred or suspended for contempt OF
court.
OF such is the modern school of social
ism, Our courts are to be prohibited
