A UTOMOBlLE races to the unin-
1 A itiated seem rather senseless
sort OF diversion. There is very IT.
lie knowledge to be gained as 1t is a
question OF power, combined with
fearlcssness and good luck.
Accidents are anticipated, usually at
least one car is overturned, and the
public either keeps out Of the way or
oonsults the undertaken.
Racing machines are nothing more
or less than monster engines attached
to wheels with seat for driver.
Now anything that goes over twenty
miles an hour ON land should have its
own rails and rs right Of way over
a road bed graded and without sharp
angles Yet amateurs enter races
which take place under conditions
which invite accidents. and which re-
quire such high speed at bends OF the
course that the most reckless either
win or are pulled from an upset car.
II such races are to be run they
should be confined to private tracks
around which autolsts many speed
eternally without keeping the hair of
the multitude on end.

EDITORIAL OPINION

Nine" Is it a subtle sense Of the arti-
fetal nature OF their calling, a sense that
they move on lines Of pretense and mas
queradeg There is license for that-the
privilege Of sex undoubtedly extends so
far since beauty is It's province. ard to
enhance beauty there are perfectly legiti-
mate arts Nine" Wade therefore, was
in her province i'm dilating upon the me. it's
OF corsets what they could do for the
figure in the way OF development and re-
trenchment, concerning which mysteries
there Is no need TO say anything.
But the matter which particularly
strikes a mere man in the reports Of Nine.
wade's very practical address at the
dressma kers' convention in Manhattan is
her prediction that in ten years time
men will be wearing corsets. The question
arises. What sort of men? For, obviously,
we cannot expect cowboys. fishermen,
woodchoppers or ploughmen. or any other
really useful and lively workers. to do
anything of the sort. We have our doubts
whether railroad engineers and fremen
viii ever think Of il. As we survey the
figures Of the great body Of our fellow
citizens IN the streets, we cannot imagine
corsets under their weslsits-the idea
doesn't ft-and the idea Of a corset ought
TO ht as snug as the article-iust as Pla-
to's idea OF bedstead was as perfect be-
fore "a bedstead was made as It could be

From the Chicago Chronicle
People have got into the habit Of credit
ing the Executive with legislative and ju-
dicial powers The Capitalization Idea has
gone far beyond the theories Of the orig
inal Hamiltonians Instead OF looking TO
the three branches OF the national Cav
ernment for aid or relief or direction the
modern Hamiltonian looks only 10 one.
He Invests the Executive with all the
powers belonging TO the three branches,
, and proceeds upon the theory that the
President is really the Government, and
that the Legislature and the judiciary are
merely consultants. to be approved or d's-
credited az the Presidential inclination
may turn. This theory is no doubt utterly
repudated by the President himself, who
knows well enough that the three powers
OF the Government are coordinate and
not subordinate TO one another IN any
