 We sometimes think that Artemus Ward was about as nearly correct as any of them when he sand that Shakes peare's plays were not written by Shakespeare. but by another man of the same name" Perhaps there will never be an end to the controversies on this subject for If we do not admit that the reputed author was the real au- thor, we are at sea. It Is like the never-ending dispute about the age of the earth. When we cut loose from what Is usually known as the Mosaic account of the creation the entire mat ter is at the mercy of all and any who choose to discuss if, If we doubt Shakes peares authorship we may as well be- Iieve one claimant as another. The world will go on in the same way and be fully as well off if Shakespeare's au- thorship ceases to be disputed.

Senator Tillman went to Chicago and spoke to them in his own style, and there was no revolution or cataeiysm in consequences Of the afrair. As The Indianapolis star sees 1t, ssthe only person who mas come osit of it damaged aud disngured Is Mayer Duane. and he is certainly in q very pitiabls position" " Then it adds.
 The only change that occurred be- tween the invitation and the speaking was made by the protests of the chf- cago negroes, accompanied by threats of violence. That these were consider ed serious Is shown by the precautions taken by the police. In the face of these threats Mayor Dunne declined t0 preside. The platform would not be a safe place if some one should throw Q bomb. Of course Mayor Dunne stated that he objected to Tiliman's views on lynching, but there had been no change in those views between his acceptance and his withdrawal. On the other hand. Mrs Keeler and most of tAe ladies took have made a mistake at first. but they would not run under fire. Two or three withdrew, but nearly two score' sat on the stage while Tillman spoke, must have added Immensely to the ef- feet Of the speakers sarcastic reference 10 Mayor Dunne.
 We confess to little liking for the Mayor of Chicago, but isn't The Star a little bit rough on him? What he did, or failed to do. displayed q large slice of human nature. When 1t was an- ncunced that Tillman was Ito speak in Chicago there was at once tremen- dous uproar among tas negro popula- ton of the city. Strenuous protests flowed in on the Mayer from the color cd citizens on every hand, riot only ob- jecting 10 his coming, but begging DEnne not to allow him to speak. But they went further and threats of vio- leIce were freely made against both the Senator and the Mayor if the former should be allowed to appear in public in the city.
 Under these circumstances what could be expected of the Mayor We are told that discretion is the better part of valor' and he called discretion to his aid and declined to appear on the platform from which Tillman spoke. HIS plea that if he should preside at the meeting it would be taken as a quasi endorsement of Tillmanism of fered an available means of aodging what he had come to consider se- rious danger. No doubt his imagination had conjured up vivid visions of ex- pioding bombs, gory gore and wrecked buildings as 8 result of Tillman's ap- pearance, so he made himself shy. Very likely he felt somewhat cheap whey he found that q number of Chicago ladies sat on the. stage from whieE Tillman sroke, ana that there ws5 no disturb ance, but he probably effected that a living discredfted Mayor is better than one scattered abov the surrounding at- 'mcsphsre.

 M. W. Connolly started The Free Press paragraphs while he was an ed- itorial writer on The Memphis Com mercial-Appeal. He wrote them for years, and after going to The News Scimitar continued to write them. But the Commercia1-Appeal also conttnued to print Hardeman Free Press paragraphs.

 Tn all probability we are about to sec the beginning Of a controversy which can never be settled academIcally and may never fs decided practically. That is as to tke best way of reaching the North Role The preparations made by Walter Wellman have already put the enthusiastic aeronauts to talking and more than one insists that success win pever be attained by any method except by the air route. Experiments are now going on with a view to the improve nent and perfection of some form of airshfp by which 1t is hoped that all ohgtacles will be removed and the Pole Aabtured in spite of all dimculties. NR On the other side of the problem Is NieEtenant Peary, R ho has had exper- ' sIerce. and who is sure in his mind that the ice dash, not the air dash, offers the only hope of success. Since his re- turn to civilization he has had some- thing to say about his voyage, and though not saying much about his own plans for the future, he is full of faith regarding the way the Pole must be reached, If 1t shall ever be. Of the air shtp idee he says:
 "A balloon would find dinculty in combating the constant and sudden strange and unaccountabIe shifts in the direction of the winds. Then a big balloon would soon be weighted down with the snow which falls in great constructed which can navigate the air as a big liner can navigate the sea- and which will be independent of storms and currents of air, then, and then only, will 1t be time to talk of using air ships to reach the Pole. don't be- 1ieve in the use of auEobOats. or auto siedges, or anything like that"
 Lieutenant Peary brings forward the game reasons against the use of air ships that operate against them every where: that the disturbances of the at- mcsphere win always render them un- reliable. This objection is much more unanswerable. however, here than it is when applied to aerial navigation in the warmer regions, because up, there the atmospheric conditions and possi- bilities are unknown, and all observa- tion and experience obtained in the krownN regions of earth cannot be of much assistance towards determining what may be encountered nearer the PcIe What has been learned, and what may fairly be surmised, indicate that an sirship travelling Polewards may ex- peet 10 meet with such unfavorable and badling atmospheric conditions as have meyer been seen in temperate regions. In short, experience has shown what is to be encountered in any attempt to reach the Pole. by land, water and ice, but what may be expected in the air is beyond human knowledge. But, as we have said, controversy as to which is the better plan will go on until ex- perience settles 1t one way or the other.

Says The Chattanooga Times:

Canterbury, Connecticut, is going to erect a monument to Miss Prudence Crandall, whom its town authorities put in a dungeon some seventy-ffve years ago for having taught negroes to read and write. Those were the days when our esteemed New England friends were interested in supplying the South with likely negro slaves, reading and writing not being qualifications de- manded to make the same saleable. No wonder Connecticut is very much in- terested in telling the South now how it cYght to treat it's negre population.
 Unfortunately for Miss Crandall, she was ahead of her time, and what was more to the point, she was striking 8 blow at the pecuniary life of New Eng land. As a general proposition, the Southern slave buyers would pay high CT prices for iiliterate negroes than they would for educated ones. The Yankee who followed negro raising as a profit crop was aware of this Southern peeu- liarity and resented Miss Crandali's efforts to depreciate the value of the crop. They were a business people, were those old time New Engiapders.

 The Pittsburg Sun contends that fin- ing law-brealxers is "a cruel and dan gerous fallacy." It argues that if a man gets drunk and commits a breach OF the peace, the moral guilt is the same, whetRer ae is rich or poor. And. as it ysSws 1t, 'the Magdaien who plies her trafic in a luxuriously gilded den e er vice is no better. even is she is no worse, than her sister who is driven in want and rags to walk the pavement" {" It adds:
 But before the law there is big dif- ference in them. Fine and costs and Imprisonment until paid, means, If anything, only a temporary prtvation to the sinners with money. To those without, 1t means Imprisonment among degrading conditions and with rank ling sense of injustice besides. They are imprisoned not for their evil doing but because of poverty.
 Well, The Sun is only calling atten- tion to matter that is probably as old as humanity. It is the old saying about sin plated with gold or armed with rags. If The Sun can find way to remedy the fault, it will be wise.

FOR A SALVAGE CORPS

The Los Angeles fire department
should have as an auxiliary a salvage
corps. 1t should be entirely separate
and apart from the fire fighting force,
and should not be required to engage in
conquering the flames. It's sole purpose
should be to save goods, not by carry
ing them from threatened buildings, but
by covering them with water proof tar
paulins.
Other cities have such salvage corps;
they are general throughout the east
The rule is for the insurance COM
panies to bear all or at least the greater
part of the expense attached to their
maintenance, as the saving to insurance
companies is very great where they
operate promptly. But for purposes OF
discpli..e they are enlisted under the
fire chief and have the same rights as
have regular firemen.
Such a corps here would have been
of material benefit within the last
month or two At two large fires in
particular large part of the damage to
mercantile houses was from water. The
Douglas block blaze was particularly a
case in point; the prompt covering OF
the stocks of the merchants on the
street floors would have saved them and
the insurance companies thousands OF
dollars, as water did all the damage
to them.
fasteners are surprised that a city
so far advanced In many ways as is
Los Angeles should be without this
municipal safeguard. The salvage in
one big fire would cover a good part OF
the expense of such corps and the
saving in insurance for a year would
be enormous.

NO FUNDS FOR

LOS ANGELES MAY GIVE HELP

citys Finances DO Not at Present
Permit Sharing Expense Of Defeat
ina Dustless Roadbed Con-
GERMS Legal Contentious

The oiled roads defense committee
Los Angeles until after the first OF
July at least. During a short session
of the finance committee held yester-
day afternoon a communication from
this committee, which has it's head
quarters at San Francisco, was re-
ceived and ordered filed.
1--WE may do something after the be-
ginning of the fiscal year, but not
while we are so short of funds" said
Chairman Smith of the committee.
The oiled roads defense committee
was organized for the purpose of de-
feating the claims of the Dustless
Roadbed company, which averred that
ii had a patent right to make all oiled
roads and that all cities using oil on
their streets were violating it's patent
The case was fought out in all the
courts and resulted in a decision
against the oiled roads company.
This litigation was expensive and the
defense committee has appealed to
nearly every city and county in Cali
forna to share the burden of the eX-
pense. Most of these cities have re-
sponded promptly and the communica-
tion bore a long list of California mu-
nicipal governments that had contrib
uted from $100 to 5000.
The request from the defense COM
mittee was augmented by a message
from the mayor, who asked that the
communication be given consideration
as Los Angeles shared in the results OF
the decision against the roadbed COM
