Sense In the South.

Nothing has more conclusively
shown the reign Of reason regard
ing the negro in the South than the
action of the Alabama house Of rep
resentatives the other day in voting
down a bill TO tax the property of
the negro school at Tuskegee, con-
Quoted with such eminent success
and splendid results by Booker T.
Washington. There were, of course,
violent attacks upon the school and
its work, one unreconstructed gen
tIeman declaring with fiery passion
that the institution should be wiped
of the face Of the earth, as it was
the South's greatest curse. But that
view of the case did not prevail, and
the sober sense of the majority of
the legislators asserted itself and
killed the bill.
This action is of marked signif-
cance, because it shows that even
In what may be considered the
crater of the negro problem there is
still recognition of the great fact
that education along proper lines,
the kind of education that is fOs-
tered by such men as Booker Wash
ington and his associates, is not
calculated to stir from still greater
depths the malOdOrOus question of
social equality between the races,
but rather is to be the leaven that
shall make the negro in due course
of time prosperous, respected, and
happy. When a Southern Legisla-
ture solemnly afirms this to be the
truth, the negro everywhere may
take hope in the final justice of the
decisions of time.

An Ostrich Reform.

Mr.. Arnold DAILY, an energetic, not TO
say eccentric, young actor. the man
who discovered that Bernard Shaw
was a money-maller in this country,
is now out to reform the theater.
No one can quarrel with him in that
ambition, per Sc, for, like most
other human institutions of ad-
vanced age, the theater is suscepti-
bic of improvement.
But the methods Mr.. DAILY an
nounces as peculiarly his own are
open to query. He has determined
to abolish music, to put into obliv-
ion the dramatic critic and to do
away with newspaper advertising,
and publicity generally. In short,
he believes he can thrive without
the cooperation of the press, evi-

peare could get along at the Globe
without notices." so can he at the

occupy for twenty weeks or so in
the coming season.
With all respect for Mr.. Daly's
opinions. there is no business. so
completely dependent upon the
newspaper as that of the managing
of theaters and presentation OF
plays. Whether the public is af-
fected either way by dramatic
criticism is a moot point; but there
is no question at all that it is vastly
influenced by the great amount of
theatrical matter in the papers-the
gossip, the reviews, the anecdotes,
the pictures, yea, sven the exub-
Grant fancies of the press agent.
Plays and playhouses and actors
are kept in the minds of the public
in that fashion as in no other that
has ever been devised To be kept
in mind is inevitably to draw the
dollars of the populace. Managers
of ability and long experience are
the first to admit this, and actors

The Gas Company Says

The Georgetown Gas Light Com
Pany says to the public:
We intend to add S15o,o0o to our
capital stock
We don't need the money for pur-
fposes for which money obtained
from stock issues is usually ap-
piled, because
The gas plant, mains, and other
property have already been paid for.
The amount paid in at the start
bought some of it. The public's
payments for gas bought most of
it, and we have had handsome divi-
dends besides; but
Now we intend to capitalize what
the public has paid, and pay divi-
dends on that; then the dividend
rate won't be so big. because it will
be applied to twice as much capital
as now, and the situation will,
therefore, look better if the public
or Congress should get inquisitive.
The money received for the stock
sold will be available to return 70
stockholders as dividends; there
fore, if we allot the new stock to
present stockholders, it won't cost
them a cent.
The public's interest? We don't
know of any such interest in this
case.
Can't the price of gas be reduced
and at the same time the revenue
pay a fair return on money actually
invested? We don't recognize that
any such question is pertinent to
the situation.
This is the position of the George
town Gas Light Company thus far
in the hearings on their petition for
an Increase of capital stock. This
is the attitude the company takes
before the public whose money is
paying the dividends.
Does the Georgetown Gas Light
Company think such an attitude
will be profitable in the long run?
