The sitting-room on the second

served, is both cosy and complete, the
view being particularly fine. The

Bathing-Suit Styles
New York, June 30.-It is not a pen
al offense for pretty young woman
with shapely limbs to walk the streets
of Rockaway Beach clad in a bathing
ISuit, unless the act be done with GRIM
inal intent.
This, after an exhaustive research
into all the authorities, is the official
finding of Corporation Counsel ELI
son. The opinion is a knockout blow
for Rockaway Beach taxpayers who
have been shocked by throngs of young
and pretty women in abbreviated bath
ing skirts walking nonchRlantly
through the town, admired by the men.
In complaint of taxpayers, which
was sent to Ellison, this statement was
made:
"The custom of our summer people
in parading through our streets in
their bathing suits is a thing that must
be stopped at once. This is the senti-
ment of all classes of citizens, for it IS
something awful to see between 5000
and 10000 at a time going through our
streets without any concern or skirts. "
Practically the only question in
yolved,' says Ellison, in a long type
written opinion, lis whether wearing
a bathing suit is, under the circum-
stances, crime. If not, the police
should not interfere. They are not
censors of public morals and ordinar-
lily a person can dress as he or she
Dleases, so long as the attire worn is
not a disguise or breach of public
decencV"

Cleveland's Municipal Campaie

Cleveland's Municipal Campaign
One of the most significant mu-
nicipal campaigns in the country is
that which will occur in Cleveland,
Ohio. This has already attained the
proportion of an election of national
import. Congressman T. E. Burton
has thrown down the gauntlet to
Mayor Tom l.. Johnson, and the
dust has begun to fly. These men
have been pitted against each other
heretofore, in which contests the
Congressman has always been victo-
rious.
Mr.. Burton has been a devoted
Congressman, and has now acceded
to the wish of the people of Cleve-
land to become a candidate for the
Senate. The campaign promises to
be one Of the most vigorous and
important that has occurred for a
year past. If Congressman Burton
defeats Mr.. johnson it necessarily
means his promotion and a disas-
trous defeat to the ambitions Of the
doughty mayor. If Mr.. johnson is
elected, it means another candidate
for Democratic nomination. Alto
gether, the magnetic needle by which
this election Is guided seems to point
inevitably to presidential possibili-
ties. None can gainsay the splendid
and conscientious career Of Congress-
man Burton. He offers the citizens
the same talents that he has hitherto
placed at their disposal, and pledges
himself to serve his term fully and
faithfully. He certainly has an en-
thusiastic following among the
Cleveland Republicans, who, for the
first time In years, show a solid
front. The contest necessarily in
wolves the old-time issue of the street
car fight, in which Mr.. Burton
placed himself squarely on the prop
osition of low fares, seven for a
quarter, and Mr.. Johnson inclined
to eight for a quarter. Now the
point is to see who can "deliver the
goods" no matter which way the
election goes.-Joe Mitchell Chapple

tional Magazine for October.

The Coiored Vote.

Daily Industrial News.
The question Of how many negroes
vote in the State of North Carolina
under the present suffrage laws and
how they vote in regard to the two
political parties are questions that
are of considerable interest to the
public and are often discussed.
One of the most influential and
intelligent negroes of the State, who
has long been close student of po-
litical conditions, especially in so faI
as they affect his own race, but who
is not what would be called an active
politician, has devoted some little
thought to these questions, and says
that shortly after the election OF
1904 he saw 1t stated in one of the
leading newspapers of the State that
about six thousand negroes voted in
that election and thinks that this
estimate is about correct. In the
last election he thinks the number
was about the same as two years
prior thereto.
So far as the political utilization Of
the negro is concerned he thinks thai
those who now vote as rule split
their tickets far more than do the
bulk of the white voters, a state
ment which our own observation in
clines US to believe to be correct. A
large majority of this six thousand
80 our informant thinks, vote the
national Republican ticket, but be-
lieves that the case is different with
regard to the State ticket, especially
in "off years." For instance, in the
last election he estimates that from
go to 70 per cent of the negroes who
voted either voted the straight Dem
ocratic ticket or split their votes, the
majority Of this percentage doing
the former.
We are not giving these figures
for the purpose of making any po-
litical argument from them as ba
sis, but simply because we believe
they will be of general Interests es
peeially as they were made by {
man of character and intelligence
who is in position to know whereof
he speaks and has no axe to grinG
by distorting the facts either ont
way or the other.

We clip the following from the

the facts on q defaulting sheriff. If
this sheriff had been Republican

columns with a head foot long and
six inches deep, telling the people
how rascally and mean the s'nasty"
Radicals are. But if that paper ever
mentioned the rascality of this
Democratic Sheriff we have failed
to see it. The Landmark says:
"The ex sheriff of Davidson County
is not only short in his accounts,
leaving q pretty big deficit for his
hondsmen to make good, according
to the published reports, not denied,
he is guilty Of gross, fragrant i'm
morality, this probably causing his
financial downfall. He was nomi.
mated and elected by Democrats for
several terms. Last year he was
again the nominee Of his party for
sheriff, but it seems that some OF
the Democrats wouldn't stand any
longer for his rece I'd, for he was de.
feated while all of his associates
were elected. IF the Democrats
kept him in Office despite his known
record, as seems to be the case, they
deserve all the odium coming to
them on account Of the exposure and
failure. No party has any business
to set up for Office men whose moral
characters are not correct; and Al
the man was a Democratic official
it is perfectly natural for the Repub
lican papers to gloat over the incl
dent, seeing that Democratic papers

So far as we are concerned we have
no objection to that, but why not
investigate the management Of all
the roads, and especially that of the
Atlantic and North Carolina while
IL was under State management. 1t
would be interesting to know why
Democratic politicians and their
families were given free passes over
the road and wined and dined at
the States hotel at the States ex-
pense, and why the business man.
ager Of the News and Observer was
made director of the road when
he did not own one cent of stock in
the road. Was it done so he would
be given free pass over the road
which entitled him to a free pass
over other roads in the State 80 he
could attend to the business Of the
Observer over the State free of cost ?
And if the affairs of the other roads
were investigated IL might be found
that some of the Congressman and
possibly United States Senator was
riding on free passes If these gen.
tlemen are riding on free passes the
