Homicide.

Again yesterday an automobile going
at high speed knocked down a pedestrian
in a city street, hurting him fatally,
and continued on its way without stop
ping. Its occupants made no effort to
ascertain the extent Of the injury the
machine had done, and their conduct
justiHes the suspicion that, realizing they
were violating the law, they took refuge
from the consequences Of their acts in
fight.
It is such conduct as this that gives
body to the public fear Of all automobiles
and brings discredit on careful as well
as reckless drivers. Such incidents be-
tray the cowardice as well a. the reck-
lessness Of the persons responsible for
them and give rise to the sentiment
which inspires legislation like the pro-
posed Grady bill OF two years ago, under
which the penalties for personal injuries
due TO Wild motoring would be made ex-
trsmely severe.
Il was. believed at first that after
motoring became established and its

Blatant Cry From Maryland.

The following remarkable statement

ator in Congress from the State Of
Maryland, in reference to the existing
situation in Cuba:

his manifest duty to point 1t out specif-
ically and tell the facts and circum-
stances which have led him TO indulge
in such unmeasured d~enunciation.

character which serves to help on the

Government Control.

There is every rea-on,' says Presi-
dent ROOSEVELT, why the Government
should exercise a constantly increasing
supervision over and control of the
great fortunes used in business so as to
see that the great corporations, the great
fortunes generally, that are used in bust
ness shall be so used as to be in the interest
OF, and not against, the interests Of the
ordinary people, the general public"
In other words, if a man in the exer-
else OF the strictest honesty has pos
sessed sufficient knowledge and ability
to make a million dollars in business the
Government OF the United States should
not only exercise a supervision over that
fortune, but should also control il.
We have become so accustomed to the
strenuous and emphatic in public life
that a good deal Of language is used by
our public men without a full apprecia-
tion of its meaning and significance.
II the words which we have quoted,
which were spoken by President ROOsE-
vELT at York. Pa, on Thursday, had
been uttered by WILLIAM J. BRYAN dur
ing his Presidential candidacy in 1895
they would have amazed and startled
the conservative community and would
have been denounced n socialistic, if
not worse, by every Republican news
paper in the United States. To-day they
are accepted az declaratory Of an indis-
putable truth in the twentieth century
gospel Of political economy.

meant by the supervision and control Of
great fortunes by the Government.
There is no such entity as a government
apart from the individuals who exercise
governmental power. The Government
of the United States, which is TO tell rich
men what they ought to do and what
they ought not to do with their money,
however honestly acquired, must always
consist Of a body Of public officers, either
elected by the people or appointed by
the President or by one of the heads Of
department at Washington. We should
like to know what reason there is to sup
pose that the President or the members
Ofthe Cabinet individually or collectively
or the Congress, or the Interstate Com
merce Commission, or the Chief OF the
Bureau of Corporations, or all of them
taken together, could intelligently super
wise and control the management or dis
position Of a great fortune invested in
business. To our mind the idea is simply
preposterous.
What tho people really want, in the
way Of legislation or control affecting
great money makers, is the adoption OF
some system which will prevent dishOh-
esty in the acquisition or Use Of wealth.
SO far the Government may properly go.
but TO go any further is to destroy one
of the strongest incentives to individual
activity and exertion and hence to OBJ
struct the progress Of civilization.

A Matter or Glass, Not Race

There is no truth in the assertion that
the Southern whites as a whole harbor
the smallest animosity toward the ne
groes as a whole. Going back owe the
history Of the past forty-five years, one
fails to discover a single instance Of
hatred or vengeance on the part OF the
former slaves in connection with their
former owners. During the civil war,
at a time when the great proprietors,
together with their o N and kinsmen,
were absent, fighting in the armies Of
the Confederacy, the slaves remained
UPON The plantations; worked for the
women and children Of their vanished
masters; pursued their accustomed voca-
tons without a thought Of change, and
were found there, after all was over,
faithful, reverent, affectiOnate az they
had ever been throughout the old regime
Of slavery. In all that dark and dread
full time no black mans hand had once
been raised against the helpless inmates
Of "the big house." against -cle miss"
or young miss, or any M else to whom
the slaves had been attached by any tie
OF gratitude or sympathy. So far from
that, the negroes stood by those they had
been taught to love, admire and initiate;
and the mother, wife, daughter OF the
stakeholder who had gone TO war was
a. secure in their keeping a. though the
ancient institution were in fun force

Another Chance to Register.

To-day from 7 o'clock in the morning
until 10 o'clock in the evening the cleo
ton officers will be at the registration
places prepared to enroll on the poll list
every qualified citizen who presents
himself.
In New York, as inthe other cities Of the
State, personal registration is required,
and no matter how often a man has voted
he cannot take part in the election OF
1905 unless his name is on the voting list.
The good wishes of a non-voter are
~valueless to the candidate for whose
success he hopes. He may shout and
pray for victory, but he cannot be on
the firing line.
The man who neglects to register can
not vote, and to-day is the best time for
those who failed to put their names in the
list yesterday to qualify themselves for
the duties Of November 8.

LIQUOR as n Souvenir.

John W. Yerkes. COMMISSIONS OF Internal
Revenue, has just handed down an opinion.
in the form OF a letter. on an unusual state OF
of facts. The letter follows:
Your letter OF the nth instant has been received.
stating that you are nguring at the present tins
with a tailoring concern, . . . who In the past
have been giving away with the nrst order for their
clothes various articles as a premium and who now
desire to give away this year. instead OF these old
time premiums. six bottles OF assorted liquors and
desire TO pack these six bottles and q suit OF clothes
or an overcoat In one box and to ship this box
by express.
To the second inquiry which you make in this
case my reply Is that the tallors thus sending out
bottles OF distilled spirits or wine or other liquor
coming under the internal revenue laws would be
regarded as diSposing OF the liquors under con
ditions constituting sale OF them and would there
fore be required 70 pay special tar as LIQUOR dealers.

and the ancient safeguards a. real -
ever.
The sinister and abhorrent era OF re-
construction was crowded with evils OF
which the negroes were the credulous
and ignorant tools. Acting under the
advice Of their political leaders, they gave
impetus and sanction to every scheme
Of plumber and desolation devised by
the rapaciOus white Hdventurers who
played upon their childish vanities and
suDerstitions; but nothing ever dis
turbed the old relations Of good will n
affection between the former owners and
the former slaves; nothing diluted the
loving loyalty Of the latter so far AZ con-
cerned their purely personal attitude
and conduct.
Our information il to the effect that
nothing has changed from that day to
this. We are told chat on Thousands
Of estates in the South the survivors OF
the proprietary class and the survivors
Of the enslaved class are still dwelling
together upon terms Of perfect under
standing. There is the old sympathy,
the old mutual helpfulness and affection,
the old devoted attachment, the old
kindness on one side and almost super
stitious admiration on the other. That
there is q class animosity Of peculiar and
perhaps increasing virulence We are
bound to admit; but we believe also that
il In a legacy from ante-bellum days and
that its significance is no greater now
than IL wa in the beginning. The slaves
Of sixty years ago were taught by their
masters, directly or indirectly, to despise
slave traders, overseers, drivers" and
the like. Their survivors and descend
ants have nourished and fattened the
tradition. We are persuaded that the
present conditions at the South are born
Of this ancient canker and intensified by
the growth Of the elements which fur
nish it with vitality.
OF course it does not mitigate the hor-
ror enacted at the South, and apparently
increasing in frequency, to accept the
considerations we have here presented.
Yet surely a class animosity is not as
dreadful a menace to society as is race
hatred pure and simple.

A DEMOCRATS CHOICE.

West and East In women's Golf.

A national issue tends TO give a real
significance to the pending womsn's golf
championship. With entries from the
Pacific Coast, the Middle West, South
Carolina, Philadelphia, New York and
New England, the contest is national In
fact as well as in name. The entry las
reached a greater total than seventy in
other years, but there have never been so
many players Of GLASS and proved skill
to engage in the tournament. This il as
eloquent az spoken words to demonstrate
how widespread is the game as q recrea-
ton for women for with the develop
ment OF skilful players in all parts Of
the country the championship class has
been established and the potterers have
learned enough to keep away.
There are great hopes at Boston that
the title will stay at home. That the
striving is to be at the Brae Burn Coun-
try Club, in West Newton, and that the
New England players, who form a ma
jority Of the entrants, are familiar with
the course are points to bolster up these
hopes. OF even more consequence 10
the circumstance that in Miss PAULINE
MACKAY, the present champion, and
Miss F. G. OsoooD, champion Of the
Women's Eastern Golf Association, Bos-
ton has two Of the very best opponents
Of feminine golf. On the only previous
occasion when the championship match
was played at a Boston links a home
player was the runner up and a New
Yorker, now Mrs. G.. I. Stout, was the
winner. This was in 1902 and a New
Yorker has not won the title since.
Miss BISHOPS victory in 1904 counted
for the Women's Metropolitan Golf Asso-
citation, but she is a Bridgeport girl and
Connecticut may make the prior claim.
New York will have a fighting chance at
Brae Burn and its representatives will
not be beaten until the last put. This
is also true of the capable quintet entered
from Philadelphia. But the real ques-
ton is regarding the positions in the race
to be gained by the Westerners. They
lost in a team match with the Eastern
ers, but their three best were not de-
feated and displayed a game good
enough to win in most championship
finals.

A south herman word That II . Reminder
Of the Days OF BigOtry.

To rae EDITOR OF THE suN-Sir. n.
word "feist." literally translated. means

German P~ietists. and'ls used wherever de.
scendants Of them exist. John Fox. Jr.. Uses

In fact. II ls more often used In speaking
OF members Of the prlestly orders than Ia
any other form. and always with a sense OF
loathing. IL will be remembered that after
the terrible havoc played by MeIac In the
last Pfal1 var Kin George I, invited tina
remnants OF the Palatinntes over TO England
and gathered 1900 Of them in tents near
London. Three thousand OF these we're

Many more were sent into Ireland Ali 500 to
North Carolina, whence they probably driited
into the Kentucky mountains. Most Of those
dispersed at Newburg settled in the Scho-
are Valley, with the same results, ana later
on in the Mohawk Valley. where Canadians
and Indians harassed them: and not until
they crossed over INTO Pennsylvania did they
enjoy comparative freedom. 1t is probably
for this reason that "feist" IL used all along
the Hudson, Schoharie and Mohawk valleys.
