we're together came 20 realize why he
was always the leader. the inevitable
leader. with whomever he was associated.
II was because Of his superiority. not
only OF manners, but OF character He
was superior, just as Bayard was superior
IN the men OF his time. and that superior
ity came chiefly from obliterating himself
IN considering others.
You remember the story told OF Bay
ard. that he exchanged w.th a poor and
worthy knight his Spanish charger, for
which he had paid some 800 crowns, for
miserable old nag worth about six de-
claring that he made the exchange be-
cause the sorry nag exactly suited HIS
needs. Numberless stories can be recited
OF the "spoIsess and fearless" knight
and many such can be told OF any man
who leads through the sufferance OF his
fellows. 1t is the man who captures the
hearts as well as the minds Of his sub

HAVE THE POLITICIANS THE GIFT
OF PROPHECY?

In the discussion of the disfranchis-
ing amendment we hear a great deal of
glib talk about how the white vote will
'split up" if the negro vote is only got
out of the way; of an ideal condition
when both parties will put up men of
the highest type, and when, casting
aside all notions of partisansh,p, Demo-
Gratis and Republicans will rush to the
polls demanding to know but one thing,
and that is, "Who is the best MANI"
1t is possible that these political pro-
phets are genuine seers and that the
political millennium they predict will
come about. But we are quite unable
to see why there is reason to expect
Maryland Democrats to be specially
given to Independent voting when they
find themselves in control of the Stale.
One seldom picks up a report of a COM
mittee appointed to study national,
state or municipal reforms that he does
not come across the evidence of the
great difficulty in getting men-good
citizens break away from party
lines. A very able commission that
has spent two years studying the
municipal government of Boston and
seeking remedies for some of the evils
finds partisanship the real ane of good
government. The report says: "The
indifference of well-meaning citizens,
the blindness of honest partisans, the
cowardice and selfshness of those most
favored by wealth or education combine
to create doubt whether government
by the people can succeed in cities. "
The same old story: Refusal to break
away from party lines. Yet there is no
negro vote worth talking about in Bos-

JAPAN SEES A JOKE.

1t has often been alleged that a racial
defect of the Japanese is their lack of
humor, that they take themselves too
seriously and expect others to do the
same. Ample refutation of this theory
is afforded by the crusade which has
just been commenced by the "Yorodzu
Chooo" and other japanese journals
against the silk hat. The ground for
their opposition is simply that the
Stovepipe is ridiculous institution
which ought to be abolished and that it
should not be cOuntenanced by any ma
ton with pretensions to progress and
enlightenment. Englishmen wear the
silk hat on every occasion, grave and
gay, because their grandfathers did,
but up-to-date folk refuse to be ruled
by an absurd precedent. At the risk of
spelling the Anglo-Japanese entente,
the newspapers of Tokyo are throwing
Weighty rhetorical brickbats at the
high hat. dear to the heart and expen-
sive to the pocketbook of every English
man. The Anticipated headgear is char
acterized as ''ill-proportioned, laughter
provoking, unsanitary, jarring to
esthetic natures and representation
of superficial civilization. 1t is de-
clared to be especially inappropriate to
Japanese with their low stature.
why our countrymen, who are famous
for their artistic taste, should have
come to adopt this monstrosity, re-
marks the Yorodzu, lis past our COM
prehension.
Here is one matter on which America
and Japan can shake hands. Except
for purely formal occasions, the stove
pipe has fallen into disfavor in this
country. A glance at photographs of
the civil war period shows that the silk
hat was then the black badge of re-
spectability. The Yankees of the
Orient as well as of the Occident are
evidently in the procession of progress
and perhaps they will be able to induce
their British partners to join them. A
home Journal recently contained direc-
lions for making neat little wastebas-
kets out Of old silk hats. The informa-
ton should be widely diffused. The
privilege of wearing ridiculous millinery
ought to be confined exclusively to fem
lninity

THE AUT0M0BILIST MUST PAY HIS
FULL SHARE.

Colonel Swan may have the autOmo-
bilists against him-thOugh it is to be
hoped nOt-in his effort to make them
contribute fairly to the fund for road
maintenance; but he will have pretty
nearly everybody else enthusiastically
back of him. The argument that it is
double taxation to tax the machine as
personal property and then to impose a
license fee for road maintenance is
brought up, we believe, wherever it is
proposed to make the machines pay for
the damage they do. There is one thing
certain: Whether it can be legally
done or not, automobiles ought to be
more than willing to stand charge for
road maintenance.
So long as this State was dong prac-
tically nothing in the way of roadbuild-
ing there was little clamOr for heavy
charge on automobiles. Now that we
are starting in upon an expenditure of
$1,000, 900 for road improvements, own
ers of automobiles ought to submit
gracefully to whatever is fair and reas-
enable.
There is no doubt that they do much
damage to the roads, Authorities are
agreed in saying that automobiles have
the effect of making the road disinte-
CRATE very rapidly. The tax imposed
upon them will not make good the dam
age they do; it will but partly recoup
the State for the wear and tear With
the increase of the good roads there
will be great increase in the use of
them by automobilists, and it is impor-
tant that the public should not become
preJudiced against the State going
ahead with the work on the ground that
the automobiles, who gets the most
good out of them, pays little or nothing
for their upkeep.
The New York Tribune, discussing
this point, says it is gradually being re-
allied that our whole system of road
construction must be changed to much
more costly plan owing to the fact that
the ordinary road will not stand the
wear of the automobile. No one de-
mands that the automobile shall pay all
the cost of the upkeep of the roads
The fact is recognized that the very use
of the highways by the automobile gives
additional value to the farm lands which
border upon them; but it is indisputable
that the automobile has added a new
and serious charge to road maintenance,
and it must shoulder reasonable part
of it.-Baltimore News.

Lynch Talk Against Italians.

There is bitter feelir e at Clarksburg
against Italians because early Sunday
morning, two Italians, Carl and Domi-
nick Airotlrro, stabbed Jesse Watkins,
who previously had had quarrel with
Samuel Henderson. The incident
was thought closed. however, when
Watkins, who was approaching the de-
pot to return to his home at Monongah,
was set upon by the two Italians from
behind and stabbed twice. He is thought
to be mortally wounded. In the mean
time a crowd of several hundred col
lected and cried, Lynch the Italians, -
Hang them up" etc. The men were
hurried to Jail. Watkins, who is "a
years old and married, is stabbed in the
lung and the stomach. There has been
feeling against Italians since Frank
Lover, an Italian, killed Frank White
hair in political quarrel on the street
in Clarksburg last fall.

BALTlMORE'S CLAIM.

1t is impossible to give Baltimore
larger representation at Annapolis
without increasing the size of the legis-
lature unless the counties consent that
their representation be reduced. We
may as well face the fact at the outset
that the counties will not consent to
have their representation cut down.
The question that remains is this: Are
the arguments against an increase of
the members of the House of Delegates
and the Senate strong enough to offset
the reasons advanced for an increase in
Baltimore's representation? We do
not think so. This is one argument
againsts Baltimore's demand tn a t
shoulds be met frankly at the be-
ginning. There are objections to in
creasing the membership Of the legisla-
ture. There are objections to piling up
additional expense on the State for
the legislative session, though proper
economy will make the larger body less
expensivesthan the present one. There
are reasons to be urged against having
legislative body so large that it will be
unwleldy. But the evils which the city
suffers from owing tounfair representa-
ton at the capital are so serious, the
need of having its interests better
looked after is so imperative that it
cannot permit objections of this sort to
stand in thelway of the reform it de-
mands. Baltimore News.

Mr. TAFT'S speechmaking from New
Orleans to Birmingham on Saturday
revealed him to the people of three
Southern States in the light of an agree
able, forceful and interesting extempo-
ranous speaker. His audiences were
appreciative and glad to hear him talk,
and Mr.. Taft was witty, humorous, pa
triotic. practical and instructive by
turns. At Hattiesburg, Miss, he i'm
pressed upon his hearers as representa-
tives not only of the South but also as
Americans in the broader sense their
naturalization with the national Govern
ment-their share and interest in it
equally with the citizens of other States.

ship and will show you that you own
just as much of the White House and
have as much right to call on the Presi-
dent and, indeed, on the woman who
occupies it and runs it-as anybody. 3"
Thus Mr.. Taft talked himself into the
hearts of his Southern fellow-citizens,
impressing them, as, indeed, he does
all with whom he is brought into con-
tact with his sincerity and genial good
nature. His address to the veterans at
the Confederate Home in New Orleans
was manly, broad-minded and patriotic.
