EOLOMON WAS REGARDED as
y something of a judge in his day.
but Mr.. Justice Darling CT London Ger
tainIy carries off the palm for the mod
ern bench IN a ruling he has just made
as to the right application Of the term
gentleman
In a case tried before the justice,
counsel for the plaintiff objected to the
introduction Of a letter because it de-
scribed a painter as q gentleman Jus
tice Darling began his ruling by stating
that in the view Of the Herald's col
lege no man was a gentleman unless
his grandfather. father or the man him
self was entitled TO bear arms. or, in
other words, possessed armorial bear
ings.
This would have barred. the house
painter, but the bench pointed out also
that counsel on sbeth sides and the
bench itself had addressed the jury as
gentlemen, and the justice believed that
such Of them as had votes were always
addressed by the polite title at politi-
cal meetings. The judge also said that
a good painter had at least one char
acteristie of the gentleman, namely. the
govt; and while the final determination
Of the matter is left in doubt the infer
ence is that for legal purposes only.
house painters IN England may be re-
garded as gentlemen.
The ruling opens up a large field for
discussion. In America a man may be
a gentleman without either a coat Of
arms or any visible occupation, but gen
orally speaking in this latter case he
would be under suspicion. Among other
definitions given by the American die
tionaries. a gentleman is called "a man
Of good breeding, courtesy and kind
ness; hence a man distinguished for fine
sense Of honor. strict regard for his OBJ
legations and consideration for the
rights and feelings Of others" It will
be noted that under this definition an
Abraham Lincoln could be called a gen
tleman. although he had no coat Of
arms and never had the govt.

+ IT IS ALTOGETHER probable that
L legislation viii be enacted in every
country against automobile racing as
soon as the terrible dangers involved in
the sport are fully understood. The re-
/ cent tragic race from Paris to MaGrid
which was stopped by the French gov
| eminent after only part Of the course
1 had been completed, serves to illustrate
the perils to the automobiIist ard pub
| lie alike. In a less degree the same
| danger was shown by the Paris-Berlin
motor flight a year or so ago, and it is
being demonstrated every day by the
reckless speed man who whirls his fatal
way through the more crowded por-
tons Of the American east.
Forbes WinsIow, an eminent brain
specialist, thinks racing motor sur
| passes the powers Of man.
If these racing motor cars reach q
speed Of eighty miles an hour" he says,
''they must drive themselves, for no
human brain is capable Of dealing with
all the emergencies that may arise
should that rate be maintained for any
period worth speaking of.
THE human animal is not designed
to travel eighty miles an hour. Neither
the human brain nor the human eye
can keep pace with it.
The brain declines to respond to the
tax put upon it; so the motor car
/ dashes on minus the brain by which it
is supposed to be controlled. and the
unexpected obstruction is smashed up,
or the car is, before the mental activi-
ties come into play.
This craze for beating records is an
abnormal mental condition. I should
dearly like to examine some Of those
afflicted with It. If they keep It up any
! considerable time they are sure to end
with a severe mental breakdown.
Il should not be surprised if we
should have new class Of patients in
our asylums before long-motormani-
acs."
DR.. Winslow is undoubtedly correct In
his deductions. Certainly If any man is
qualified to drive, with some chance Of
managing, one Of these racing autos Of
high power, It must be a skilled and
coOl-headed locomotive engineer who is
/ accustomed to great speed. and not only
able to think quickly but with a body
that fnstinctively responds to the swift
er brain. But when we remember how
many locomotive engineers are racked
mentally and physically by the running
Of locomotive on a smooth, well bal
lasted roadbed, with the right Of way
protected and every possible safeguard
4 that the human mind can devise thrown
about them. it is easy to imagine the
mental condition of an automobIlist
I driving a machine through the roads
Of a densely populated country at a
speed seldom reached by a locomotive
on the best trackway.
Automobile racing is undoubtedly too
dangerous a sport for the public roads,
but the craze for it will pass and the
automobile within very few years
win be utilized as it should be as a We
hiele Of business and pleasure, sanely
and comfortably as the horse and car

EDUCATION AND POPULATION.

DR. GEORGE J. ENGLEMAN. in the
~ Popular Science Magazine for
June. discusses Race Decline" pre-
senting an array Of facts as startling
as they are interesting His researches
have been directed toward the relation
Of education and the phenomenal de-
crease in the birth rate of the native
American population. His conclusion.
amply supported by data, is that the
native-born population Of America is
fast declining, and that. II anything,
the educated classes are in advance Of
the uneducated in the number Of sur
viviug children to each marriage.
At the same time, DR.. Engleman
proves that the birth rate for Ameri-
can-bOrn people is practically the same
as France, or, IN other words, that so
far as the natives are concerned, the
population is almost stationary. He
shows also that the children Of foreign
born parents alone are sustaining the
average increase Of population in this
country due to births.
The natural deduction from this state
of affairs is the inevitable transforms
ton of the American nation, to what
end no one may foresee. The immigra-
ton Of today is in no sense as desirable
as it was. say. twenty years ago, when
the large proportion Of immigrants
came from the north Of Europe. This
was particularly true Of the Germans
and Scandinavians, who have unques-
tionahly added materially to the physi-
cal and material strength OF the ma
ton, and have proved most desirable
citizens. But today. the immigration
from southern Europe is bringing an
alien population which IS with diff
Guilty assimilated and too often refuses
TO adapt itself to any Of the conditions
Of genuine citizenship in its best sense.
Assuming that the native American
does not reproduce and calculating the
natural resultant forces Of immigra-
tion, it is not impossible to believe that

TURNING ON THE LIGHT.

7 WO MORE POSTOFFICE employees
4 at Washington have been arrested
for defrauding the government in the
purchase Of supplies. In this case the
two men arrested bought leather
pouches for the rural free delivery, pay
ing the manufacturer SIC. GOO and retain
ing for themselves IS, 600, when the
pouches could have been bought by the
government for $1,000. Apparently
these clerks thought they might as well
play the same game their superiors
were in, and with the same result.
It is evident that the president has
a large job before him in the investi-
cation of pOstofice department frauds
and the punishment of the guilty. since
Postmaster General Payne has from
the first shown a plain intent of pro-
tecting the rascaIs in his department
and concealing the evidences of fraud
If Mr.. Payne's programme had been
followed the scandal would have been
hUshed Up and the men. like Tulloch,
who made charges would have been
discredited. The matter has gone 50
far now that justice is likely to be
done: and if the administration knows
good politics, IL viii make the house
cleaning as thorough as possible.
The postal service has been one
branch Of the government which had
the entire confidence of the people. No
appropriation was begrudged il, the
employees were regarded as examples
Of the highest character possible in
popular government, and the depart
ment itself was held up az a model OF
what can be done in the administra-
ton of public utilities by the govern
meut. The public still believes in the
probity of most postal employees. and 1t
still regards the postohace as the one
department above all others which
must be kept free frcm any faint of
suspicion or corruption.
The developments Of the past few
weeks are all the more unfortunate be
cause they must result in injury to the
rural free delivery branch Of the serv-
ice. According to the postmaster gen
eraL routes have been established
without any regard to the need Of serv-
ice or-the prospect Of profitable main
tenance. It is noted that he exempts
the west from this charge, but he dis
closes the fact that eastern and south
ern congressman have been favored in
this regard. which may explain why
Machen was sheltered so strenuOUsly
when he was first accused Of crooked
ness.
One re5eeming feature Of the whole
situation IS that a free press with the
power OF public indignation it aroused
has compelled an unwilling official to
yield his personal preference to the
good Of the service. So long as prose
cution and exposure can be secured
under such difficult circumstances
there need be no fear of any general
corruption in public life.
