MAYOR VET0ES BILLS

Inc local authorities have fun power provide
such accommodation for the various city and county

II the County Clerk desires extra offices for THE
mOdatOns from the Commissioners OF the Sinking
Fund. who will, without doubt. give his request
every possible attention but surely the city should
be allowed to deal with the internal management
OF its buildings without interference in thu
form of mandatory legislation
As matter Of tact. the reason why the County
Clerk was never allowed any space in the Hall ot
Records was because in 1904 the predecessor or
the present incumbent requested the Board OF Est-
mate and Apportionment not TO consider him N
the matter OF space allotment Arrangements were
other departments. which have since been carried
In view OF this fact II Is difficult TO find any Justi-

Definite Policy.

If there can be any issue at all
on which the democrats can be said
to have a definite position, any is
sue touching deeply the interests
of the whole country. any issue hav-
ing distinct moral value it is that
Of tariff reduction.
And it so happens that this is the
issue which appeals most sharply
and strongly to the business men of
Massachusetts, and is intimately con-
nected with the question of reci-
procity with Canada, another form of
of the tariff issue, as to which all
New England has important inter-
eSts.
This is the ground on which Mr.
Whitney proposes to make his fight.
His opponents will have none of it.
They do not merely object to him
as a candidate; they object to his
policy, to the tendency he repre-
sents.-New York Times.

Mans Courtesy to Woman.

1t is generally agreed TO that the
bestt manners are displayed in the
south, where the chivalrOus instinc.
is prOverbial. Yet here, too, IL Is
agreed that there is decadcnce. How
is it in Baltimore: 4 study OF the
ordinary street car will disclose one
third Of the seats occupied by men
with women standing, especially at the
end of the working day. These men,
too. will doubtless justify their action
By COntending that they have been
tOiling all day, many Of them on their
feet constantly, and that they are more
in need OG rest than many OF the
women Yet in their ordinary inter-
course with women they, perhaps, eX-
hibit courtesy of the most pollSheo
character. It is all too apparent thai
the invasion Of women into the field
OF business competition with men IS
bring about a changed attitude to-
ward her. There is no lack of respect
but a growing tendency TO eliminate
the sex distinction and put her on a
par in all things. And ii is probable
that the modern woman would have
it this way, for she is rapidly proving
her ability to take care Of herself.
Nevertheless it is TO be regretted
that man should ever grow careless i'll
I his attitude toward women. Chival-
rous conduct is one of the most beau
tiful things there is left. Any deviation
from it is to be frowned down. We
have not grown 30 careless as some

in the hearing of the federal suit
against the oil combine, that in several
of the southern states the Standard hal

them sold oil to the consumer. Some
