Responsibility Divided

Large railroads are divided into di.
visions. each of which are under the
direction Of district or division su.
perintendent, who. in turn, is respon-
sible to the general superintendent.
ITO general freight agent has charge
of the freight department, a position
of much responsibility The Offices
OF general passenger and ticket agent
are usually combined under one man,
as the duties of each are frequently
too similar to warrant separation.
This official has charge of the rail,
roads passenger business, including
the ticket offices.
The master mechanic is at the head
of the mechanical work OF the road.
and is responsible for the condition
Of the locomotives and cars. Com
paratively few roads have traffic man
ayers. These officials are in control
of the Of the traffic, and outrank the

NOTES ON THE FASHIONS.
Black Silk Gloves for Day and Those
Matching the Gown the Proper
Caper for Evening.

The fashionable woman now wears
black glaee kid gloves with all her
gowns In the day time, but for even
ing she wears gloves that exactly
match her dress The only exception
to this t. the white glove or flesh color.
both of which are worn a great deal
in the evening.
Glove trimmings are very important
this season, for they are so pretty and
so unusual. A great many of the
gloves are hand embroidered, and these
hand embroidered gloves, in silk or
Isle, are very much the mode. And,
of course, with all gloves there are
bracelets worn. The bracelet is a
thing that is taken for granted.
The wearing of bracelets of different
design is one of the summer ideas,
and as 1t is rot an expensive fashion,
the woman who is trying to dress pref !
tily can take 1t up. For a moderate |
sum she can get a beautiful bracelet /
of ANTIQUE design which will be in /
good taste and suitable for wear with /
any gown.
The wearing OF antique jewels is one
Of the summer fashions, and antique
dinner rings and gartlets
are worn
The whole idea is that the costume
must match throughout, and that any
amount Of ingenuity must be EN-
plOyed to secure this result This is
he fashion, not only In this country,
Jut in London.
The new materials of summer show
/ tendency toward the tiny figure. and
here are very many that are sRigged

Hobson In the House.

This news paragraph is In circulation:
When Commander Richmond Pearson
HoDsons admiring constituents congratu-
lated him on his success at the primaries
they pore three tranSparencies, one read
Ing Richmond Pearson Hobson Congress-
man. and the other two with the same
name and the offices left blank 1t was
a way OF intfmatfng that fate, in the opin-
ION or his admirers, has the Senatorship
and presidency in store for the former
naval officer. AS hero Commander Hob
son seems to have got his second wind"
All of Captain Hobson's friends are
elated at his success. and some Of them
unduly so. He has the faculty of spread
Ing hurrah, and down In Alabama a seat
in the House looks big And 1t Is con-
siderable achievement for a young man
who but few years ago was an fncon-
spicuous officer Of the navy. without a
thought of a political career or Of the
capacity to make a speech. But here he
is, victorious over veteran hitherto very
popular. and a figure of national political
consequence. He may go higher, though
probably not to the top, nor climb as rap
idly as he and his friends have In mind.
Captain Hobson Is entitled to fair
show. He is manly fellow, and may be
no vainer than was to be expected in the
circumstances. About the time he was
charge was very fluent about other peo-
pie. 1t was day of considerable citation,
and spirits generally rose high. He had
performed an heroic act, and was being
acclaimed for 1t, and 1t was pardonable
in him to see himself as others were see
ing him. What Sampson had approved
and Cervera applauded was entitled to the
praise accorded 1t.
In this new field Captain Hobson has a
difficult row to hoe. Puffery goes far In
politics. but, alone, secures no results that
are lasting or worth having. There must
be real man In the case II 1t Is to count.
If II should turn out that in leaving the
navy for politics Captain Hobson has made
a mistake nothing can save him. He must
make good, or he will fail, in public. Not
all the stirring story of Santiago recited by
his admirers thousand times in the most
glowing terms will avail to break his fall
In the House If he is unable to sustain him
self there. The test in that forum is severe,
and 1t is no respecter of persons. If he is
out OF place, the hero goes down like the
man of common clay.
If Mr.. Cannon is In the chair Captain
Hobson will find a generous foe; If Mr.
Williams, he should find an appreciatiye
friend. He is lucky In making his debut at
a time when one or the other is certain TO
confront him.

their presence III America largely TO that
fact Having heard Of the country where
labor Is free. and wages are good. and the
majority rules. they are here to share In all
the benefits conferred. But. naturally, I'M
der the influence of example, they rush
from one extreme to the other. They adopt
that view of liberty the most easily COM
pretended by them. They do In America
what they see those Americans do with
whom they are the closest In touch. Seeing
court DEGREES disregarded. officers Of the
law iouted, prisoners seized and executed
by Tom, Dick and Harry. they fall In
themselves with that merry order OF things
and proceed to raise merry hades ON their
own accord. What Is sauce for the native
goose is sauce for the adopted gander.
Talk about the foreigner of this kind Is
talk misplaced. The average foreigner, SO
far as our institutions are concerned. Is
largely what we make him. He has Anerf-
can chapter and verse for nearly every out
rage he commits. He sees all around him
the spirit Of individual assertion, and he
interprets that according to his lights; and.
they being low he is soon In trouble and
beyond the pale.
It may be very exasperating to see men
so recently out Of sort of bondage thus
misread the opportunities they have sought
for the betterment Of their conditions, but
it Is foolish to shut our eyes to our share Of
the responsibility. When we improve our
example we shall improve the whole
situation.

Peace in Paris.

After weeks of dalliance with a situation
which seriously threatened to get beyond
their control, tie French government au-
thorlties finally awakened to the peril Of
continue ed passivity and prepared for May
Day with measures which have apparently
fully met the needs of the occasion. The
dispatches from Paris today indicate that
the show of force In that city efectuaily
quellei all disposition on the part OF the
agitators to foment trouble. The city bore
. the appearance Of an armed camp. Troops
were everywhere. Arrests were made, but
( without rtoting, and so far as learned no
lives were lost.
1t Is remarkable that France should be
open TO congratulation upon the passing of
the day without revolutionary disorders
It should be a matter of course that the
government could take care OF itself in any
Crisis But people the world over are pror q
to remember the numerous occasions on
which the French have shown themselves
capable OF oyerthrowing the established or
der. IL is favorite pastime OF historical
Spectators to contemplate the possibilities
Of the case In 17S9 had Louis XVI been a
strong man. and had he used his military
means early to suppress the rising tide of
agitation against him. Many essays have
been written upon the hypothesis of Louis
possessing the temperament and ability OF
Napoleon. It Is safe to say there would,
IN such case have been no French revelu-
tion. But Ii is equally assured that France

would. nevertheless. have later evolved
from its desperate plight either through i'm
perialistic reaction or popular revolution.
It is difficult to discern conditions In
France today which suggest the imperative
need of an overturn of the government for
the sake OF the peoples welfare Many mil
lions of Frenehmen are. 1t Is true, deplor-
ably poor. But 1t is not these very poor
people who are ciamoring for a change.
The cry comes from the workingmen, who
are dominated by the socialists and an
archIsts and who are striking In order to
give accent to their demand for so-called
reforms in the government which SAVIOR
strongly of radical communism and which
strike directly at the power of France as
a member of the European family of ma
lions. The agitations booked for today
were plotted. not to ameliorate the condi-
ton of any great number OF French people,
but to exploit certain theories OF govern
ment.
The French character Is such that IL this
day closes without serious clash between
the government and the agttators the
chances favor the passing of any immediate
peril from the mob. The French are essen
TALLY dramatic They seek the spectacular
method. They would prefer, indeed, to wait

The Mt. Carmel Shooting.

There can be no doubt of the responsible
ity for the bloodshed at Mount Carmel. Pa,
where detachment of the newly organized
state Constabulary met mob of idle min
ers. who assaulted the soldiers, and, after
repeated commands to dispense, forced the
troops to fire in sek-defense. The miners
were in the streets at their own wish, seek
Ing trouble. The soldiers were on the
ground in obedience to the orders of the
state authorities, seeking to preserve prop
erty from destruction. The miners were
wrong in assembling in a disorderly fashion
and the soldiers were right In firing to quell
the riot and to repulse the ASSISTANTS. Had
the constabulary weakly withdrawn from
the scene, after receiving few showers OF
stones. there would have been need later OF
a larger force of state troops, perhaps even
tually of federal forces to suppress the dis
orders
The men who take advantage of every
strike to meet in the streets and engage in
loud talk about tyranny and the wrongs OF
labor and the crimes of capital are foster
Ing disorder. They are harming their own
cause. They precipitate these very TRACE
dies such as that at Mount Carmel. They
are the worst enemies organized labor has
today. And the leaders of the unions know
full well, or should know. that whenever
they precipltate strike and send men out
of mines and mills upon the streets they are
