That the automobile should ever have
such capabilities OF romance as. say, the
coach and four. might have seemed doubt
ful. Yet It has been recently shown in
Paris that the motor carriage Is an almost
ideal vehicle for an elopement IN the grand
style. and that goggied and muffled chauf-

braves of a militant wooer in the good old

cab belonged to an actress who controls q
cab company, and In this matter undoubt-

romance follows hard after mechanical in

The memorable reign of Lady
Jane Grey is said to have given
rise to the phrase, "a nine days
wonder" Lady Jane was pro-
claimed queen of England July 10,
1858, four days after the death of
Edward vi. After the lapse of a
period of nine days, on July 10,
she relinquished her title to the
crown, thus terminating her reign
in the short space of week and a
half. A noted English historian
says, "Thus we come to the end

ANY form of autocratic rule is generally dis
tasteful to Americans because it is foreign to all the
tenets of democracy But when people are not
competent to govern themselves rule is
good thing. In the June number of Harpers
magazine Professor Richard T. Ely, of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, tells of town governed by
one man with satisfaction to all concerned The
town is Pelzer, South Carolina, and the man who
Yields the autocratic sway it is Captain Ellison
A. Smyth.
Pezer is milling town of type that could
not exist for long in the northern states The ground
on which it is Situated, the houses, stores mills,
schools and public buildings are all owned by the
corporation of which Captain Smyth is the head.
There sno mayor or municipal government of any
kind for elections ''involve expense, and would
interfere to considerable extent with the control
of the Captain No political power above the
corporation is nearer than the county" And be-
cause the government is honestly managed, the one
rule is eminently satisfactory to the governed.
After reading of the horrors of child labor in
the south it is refreshing to turn to Dr. Ely's
description of Pelzer and see how they manage
things there Instead of little ones working in the
Mills in the other manufacturing towns of South
Carolina we find that in this miniature autocracy
compulsory education is enforced Before a
agree-in writing-that all the members of his
family between the ages of five and twelve years,
''shall enter the school maintained by the said
company at Pelzer, and shall attend every school
day during the session. unless prevented by sickness
or other unavoidable causes"
As DR.. Ely describes it--and there is every
reason to believe he describes it as it is-Pelzer
seems to be ideal town for that part of the
try Instead of squallor and poverty there pretty
cottages and fourishing savings bank; instead of
drunkenness and sickness there is sobriety and good
health. No company stores operated, and the
merchants doing business in the town have no
connection with the corporation further than to pay
rent to it. DR.. Eys article Pezer should be
fully read by all persons interested in the southern
labor question: if for other reason than to learn
that corporation is not necessarily the soulless
octopus ofttimes depicted.

SOME weeks ago prisoner released on
parole from the Iowa penitentiary His case was
notorious and his release excited considerable COM
ment, most of which was favorable. One paper,
however gave vent to the sentiment that it would
have been better for the governor-who has the
paroling power in Iowa-to send the man to b
than to grant him parole. The Anamosa Prison
Press and two other institutional papers have
taken up the cudgels for the paroled man and dealt
the hasty hellishly inclined editor some sounding
blows.
And now as the Oldest of the prison papers, The
MIRROR desires to sit into the game long enough to
say that it isn't worth while to take active umbrage
at such criticism as emanated from the fertile brain
of this Iowa editor What's the use? Just think of
the awful quantity of worthless information and
vapid ideas that appear in the papers in the
of year and think how futile it would be to try to
correct them Why man would have to be fight
ing windmills all the time Pass EN- up! Pass 'em
up! In this particular case the paper doubtless
wanted to discredit the governor and chose this
means to do At any rate, such suggestions it
offered do not njure the paroled in the slight
est; they don't change anyones opinion of him.
The main point has been gained is out of prison
and it's up to him to live clean, think clean
and work hard. If he does this all the opposition
editors in the state can't harm him. It isn't what
you used to be- but what you are now that counts.

The long hoped for peace in South Africa has
arrived-or is about to arrive. There is some delay
but it is conceded to be technical-an arrangement
of comparatively unimportant detail. Both sides
are sick to the heart of slaughter and both will
cede minor points if necessary. What the terms of
peace will be have not been made known at this writ
ing One thing, however, is certain-the Beers will
be granted virtual independence Some such colonial
government as Canada has will probably be provided
and the burghers will be- to all nents and purposes
as free as they were in the days OF the republic.
England displays great wisdom in governing her
colonies and subjects them to very little interference
in the management of their affairs. In the of
South Africa she will probably be more enient than
usual Her impotence trifes will be restrained
by memories of unmarked graves under the southern
CROSS
The Beers have lost their cause but have won
the unfeigned respect and admiration of the world
Mighty Britain whose possessions grdle the earth,
is glad to make terms with them. Every corner of
the earth has rung with praise of their valor and
endurance; and in the years to come the names of
Cronje, De Wet, Botha and scores of other mighty
men of their race will be household words wherever
liberty is revered or courage honored
They fought for home and country never men
fought before they proved that freedom still burns
in the human breast that liberty is still worth dying
for; they would have won if right and not might, if
Justice and not selfnterest guided the actions Of
mankind. Altho they lost, the Beers have advanced
the cause of liberty more than is shown on the
surface. The day is coming when the South African
war will be of material assistance to millions OF
hungry peasants in the interior of Russia They
merely defeated, not humbled, and the lesson taught
+ by their struggle will never die.
England will probably have no more trouble
with the Dutch in South Africa. The men of the
T1ansvaal are not trifers and when they agree to
submit to foreign rule they will submit uncom.
promisingly. They will do this because they are
made of the sort of stuff that abhors compromises
But to expect forgetfulness and awlling and grace
full homage from such men is another matter-gener-
atoms must pass ere that will come about.
