Macmillan & Co. are issuing a new
edition of Gibbons Decline and Fall
of the Roman Empire" edited by j.
IS. Bury, M. A, professor of modern
history in Dublin university. The edi-
ton, which is serviceably bound, and
most admirable as to paper and typog-
raphy, will be complete in seven vol
umes. The first volume contains an
appreciative and critical introduction
by the editor, in which he discusses
briefly Gibbon as a StyliSt and philos-
opher and points out his necessary
limitations in that his conclusions were
dependent upon the material at his
hand. The modern historian has at his
command both improved methods of
dealing with the old material and
large amount of new matter, which has
modified and upset conclusions which
Gibbon was justified in drawing. In
the light of modern studies his treat
ment of the Byzantine empire in par
ticular, is superficial, and gives false
impression of facts, but when all his
unsufficiencies have been considered,
he still remains a master among his
torianS.
The EDITORS notes are full and pains
taking, and, as far as any one not
specialist can determine, the publica-
ton amply meets the need for an ed1-
ton of Gibbon annotated from the
standpoint of modern historical knowl-
edge.

| ity of Mr. Watsons stories. They are
not intellectual discourses. There is
scarcely an appeal from the mind to
the mind in the whole of the tiny book,
unless the limpid. fluent style, remind
ing one at times of the fervent lu-
cidity of Phillips Brooks, can be said to
constitute such an appeal. 1t is book
written from the heart to the heart,
and the reader arises from it with a
feeling that he has been sWeetened and
purified by the hour spent over it. Not
many even of those whose religious life
holds the supreme satisfactions of an

conviction of an answered love for the
divine are able to share the radiance of
such spiritual life with others, as Mr..

Sidney Sanderson, by denouncing him

CONTROLLING THE STREETS

The Consolidated Electric company,
through its dummy. the Fifth street
Railroad company, has put forward the
claim that it is to control the future
use of the public thoroughfares for
car companies in Los Angeles. instead
of the public authorities. The prop
osition is that one transportation cor
poration having been granted the use
of street, it can then rent, or lease or
sell privilege for the use of the fran
chtse or street to any real or pretended
opposition company, and so shut up the
streets wherever ii pleases to other COM
petition. The law permitting the use
OF fve blocks of one franchise route to
another company limits the privilege
to two companies. Instead then, of
the city authorities controlling the use
of the streets for street cars, the grant
ing of one franchise upon a street would
Immediately put it in the power of such
franchise holder, by private agreement,
to admit another company to the use
of the same, to the exclusion of all 9TH
ers. Under this doctrine, upon applica-
ton to the city authorities for a fran
chlse over any street already occupied,
the occupying company could immedi-
ately lease or sell the privilege of sec
ond occupancy to a real friendly COM
pany, or invent a company for the pur-
pose. 1t is clear that the law intended
to permit the entry of rival carrying
companies to the business center of cit
les. The letter as well as the spirit of
the law contemplates the continued con-
troll of the streets by the peoples repre-
sentatives. 1t nowhere transfers this
control from the city to corporations,
and if it did the law would be absolutely
invalid. The conclusion is that the deal
by the Consolidated Electric with an
allied horse car company to shut I'D
Wolfskill avenue to other compa-
MES will not stand. 1t is fair to presume
that any transportation company occu-
plying street car line by lease or pri-
Vate sale from the original franchise
holder Will be deemed in law to be that
original company or a part of it as to
such occupancy. This would permit a
dozen car companies coming into a
business center by agreement Just as
the Pasadena and Santa Monica COM
panies now come in on Spring street.
1t would not be public policy to prevent
such arrangements. In any case. the
law should be amended to follow the
st. Louis system. In that city the en-
try to the city center for new COM
panies over old lines is entirely within
the control of the city officers.

Shade Hats Trimmed In PIeating

A favorte shae hat model this sum-
mer has the crown of yellow straw made
soft, and around the brim are puffings
of tulle, put so closely together that the
whole effect is very light, while spray
of roses at the left side and punches of
roses under the brim add the necessary
touch of color. Another very smart
style is like an exaggerated sailor hat
Just across the back, fastened on the
crown and extending over the brim, is a
double row of black satin ribbon, the
only other trimming is ruch of knife
pleated chiffon edged with three rows of
very narrow black satin. Only a few of
these hats have been seen yet, and then
only on smart women. The objection
is often raised that these ruchings of
tulle and chiffon are perishable. They
are not so perishable as they seem, and
can easily be replaced by new ones and
at far less expense than is necessary in
using flowers; then, common flowers in

handsomer ualities are always expens-

with the tulle; the soft MalneS is the
favorite, and this Is twisted in>and lies
over the tulle or chiffon in a most becom-
ing fashion. Black lace is rarely seen on
hats this year; but entire hats are made
of mousseline de sole and tulle, and are
in every possible shade. The black and
white can be worn by women of any age,
but the blues, pinks and yellows it Is
just as well for women over % to avoid.
