Still on His Trail.

Ard The Lily Whites still pursue him.
They seem reluctant to believe that Mr..
Hanna is not open to presidential propo-
sition. They affect to pine for his leader
snip. Notwithstanding his repeated declara-
tions that he is not in the ring and cannot
be enticed into it. He is On the eve Of
starting south for a visit. and the dis
patches notify him that a committee of
Lily Whites from Alabama will wait on
him at Chattanooga and urge him to re-
consider his resolution on the subject of
next years republican presidential nomna-
ton. Well. this is a free country. and If
these gentlemen have the car fare there is
no one to forbid the journey.
Alabama seems to be the seat of this
Lily White industry. But why? What is
there in sight to warrant the racket? Ger
tainlT not republican success in the state.
Hear the Montgomery Advertiser. the lead
ing democratic newspaper of the common
wealth. and familiar with the subject. as
to the local political conditions:
''The intimation that Beveridge or any
other spellbinder could carry Alabama for
Roosevelt is so absurd as to be almost
funny We admit that there are numbers
of men in Alabama. and not all of them are
republicans, who are believers in a protec-
tive tariff, because their interests lie that
would vote the republican ticket solely be-
cause of their tariff sentiments. The demo-
cratic party will nominate a good man on
a good platform, and Alabama democrats
will vote for him. If Roosevelts friends
are building any hopes of success on the
possibility of getting electoral votes from
the south they are running on very cold
trail.
There need be but one change in this
statement Alabama is going democratic
whether "a good man on a good platform
is nominated or not. The question is set
tied even now. The Alabama democrats
are making no conditions either as to the
candidate or the platform. They are leav-
ing all such details to their eastern breth-
rem. Theirs not to reason why, but simply
to vote. And they will vote for the nomi-
nes whoever he may be.
= How roaringly absurd therefore seems
all this hullabaloo about carrying the south
next year for the right sort Of man" IL
the republicans will put him up! Those
who are familiar with the situation and in
position to speak frankly on the subject
know that the lower southern states afford
no ground for republican campaign. Mr.
Beyeridge and other eloquent republican
speakers might enjoy stumping tour
through that section, and doubtless would
be respectfully received But 1t would be
time and eloquence wasted Not a vote
would be changed. The opposition is not
to Mr. Roosevelt 1t would be as vigorous
and determined in the case of any man the
republicans might nominate. The Lily
White gabble about Mr. Roosevelt is weak
even for midsummer pabulum.

Walking Signs.

The Police Court has taken a view Of the
perambulating sign enterprise which is not
quite in line with the trend Of municipal
regulations on the general subject of this
method of advertising wares The case in
point was an imitation elephant composed
of two men covered by a great cloth. on
the sides of which was painted IN glaring
colors and great letters the announcement
of commercial fact. According TO the
courts decision this device does not come
under the regulations requiring the issue OF
license to the bill posters. In some re-
spects these street signs are more offensive
than the placard-covered boardings. They
are often grotesque in design and occasion
ally they are calculated to scare horse
into frenzy. The sandwich man with his
swinging boards is of this type. Certainly
there is good reason for CHASING all sign
posting together. whether these announce
ments occupy a fixed place or are given
movable bases.

"reminiscences.

Do you remember where the little boys
INDUCED In innocent and harmless joys?
1t is yon desolate and parching spot
There on the rank weed ridden vacant lot.
Where once their laughter echoed to the
sky
AS they threw snowballs at the passer- by.
Do you remember where the snow man
stood
With eyes of coal and skeleton of wood?
That is the place-that patch of blistered
lawn
Neglected even by the dew at dawn;
There where Industrious ants with prudent
haste
Are burrowing to shun the arid waste.
And do you see that man, that sweltering
wretch
Whose suffering Dante might delight to
sketch:
Whose collar willis: who gazes hollow-eyed
Adown the street where once he walked
with pride?
'Tis he who wrote in wintry days much
rhyme
About the gentle joys of summertime

assistance of an umpire, whose ruling shall

assistance of an umpire, whose ruling shall
be final.
1t is understood that the building trades
of Boston have such a system for settling
issues and that in three years the board of
arbitration has not once been compelled by
reason of a tie vote to summon the services
of an umpire. In consequence of this
course the trades have enjoyed unexampled
prosperity and peace and the community
has shared the benefits of the adjustments.
There is no reason to question the ability
of the District trades to score an equal
success in averting labor wars by the same
means
The value of this new arrangement is
emphasized by the fact that just prior to
the establishment of the new conditions
strike was precipitated on the part of the
steam and hot water filters helpers. who
asked for higher wages and failing to gain
the point voted to quit work. Under the
new agreement such a strike would have
been impossible. On the other hand the
new system extends a direct recognition of
the union to the workers and enables them
to deal at first hand with their employers
without the intercession of a walking del
egate, or business agent" as that func-
tionary is now usually termed.
1t is significant that the arbitration agree
ment should have been reached so soon
after the Presidents utterance. With such
assystem in full operation. eliminating
strikes and lock-outs. affording perma-
nent machine for smoothing the relations
between the two classes and enabling the
workers and the employers to understand
each other and to come frequently into close
contact for consultation. there is little need
for statutory enactments Both sides de-
serve credit for having waived claims and
abandoned traditional positions in favor of
harmonious settlement of differences.
This method is business-like and simple and
it puts a premium upon good faith. the
keeping of which is SO essential to success
in any enterprise. whether it involves the
selling of goods or of labor

 Lucien Mas. the Frenchman, was on the stand and was asked about an in terview he had had with M. Pickard, a French secret agent, regarding the scci- dent. Mas said he had refused to tell Picard who was with him and where he had been when he witnessed the accident because Mas and his friend, Moranna, had been to Deauville with women and did not want their wives to know about it. When counsel for Mrs. Nelson ob- Jected to the cross examination as to what time Mas boarded train after wit messing the accident, opposing counsel said it was most important as 1t shows that Mas was not at the place at all.
 The hearing was adjourned to a date to be fixed at conference to be held be- tween the attorneys and the referee to- morrow.

IS HE THE srRoNoEsrp

The Chattanooga Times, while moi agreeing with the Presidents politics, thinks that if . Republican Is to be elect ed next year, 'he is the strongest and rnost satisfactory of the entire lot at presen. occupying public attention" and adds:
 It Is not well for us to deceive ourselves that because Mir. Roosevelt. by his treat ment of the race question, has become unpopular in the South he has lost gronnd in the States from which Repub- lican votes always come. He has helped us to keep the South solid, but we have n n9t observed that hs has given us any western States Mir. Roosevelt has lost several very fine opportunities to ina- prove his standing n the middle States, ana ne has been toying too much with son stamp, but with all that the people have high regard for his rugged hon esty of purpose. his intense regard for right and his broad Americanism. We believe that his party can be defeated Tor he will be stronger than his partyA- by an aggressive, strong wiiled and pop. ular Democrat on a platform that means progress; that means national integrity. the liberty of the masses and the invio. start out with the idea that Mir. Roose. e. yelt is not strong man--he is, and to defeat him we have got to put up a man equally as strong, backed by a declara. ton of principles that will commend him and his party strongly to the public confidence. Even under the most favor able conditions Democracy is not going to have a"walk over"
 We nay be permitted to doubt whether he is the strongest, and we certainly do not admit that he is the most satisfac- tory to the South of any man mentioned In fact. there has hardly been a man spoken of who could prove less accept able to our section than he. As for his honesty of purpose and his regard for right"-tfat is as ono looks at it. If he has shown either virtue in Delaware, in Charleston or in North Carolina, we have not seen the evidence. He has not followed right course in any of those eases, nor d, we believe he was govern ed by honesty of purpose.
 We freely admit that Roosevelt is a strong man. He has the machine behind him and will use it for all 1t is wofth. That his party can be defeated we think probable, but 1t can only be done. as The Times suggests, by good Democrat on good platform. A Democracy thus equipped and working together for good stands a good chance to succeed. There is no hope of success otherwise. The Republicans have the advantage of posi- tion and they have an advantage in the prosperous condition of the country. but there are seeds of discord and division among them which ought to lead to their defeat unless they can settle all their differences. Roosevelt is strong and his party is strong. but they are not alto-, gether invincible.
