Dress and tho Motor Car.
New YORK Times

/
English tailors complain that the mo-
tor car has made men careless in their
dress we had fancied that motoring
had greatly increased the revenues OF the
tailors. as the pastime demands special
clothes. But It seems that the influence
OF motoring has Inclined men toward
comfort in dress rather than style. There
fore the tailoring trade is depressed This
Is q new and grave charge against the
automobile. Already 1t had been accused
OF injuring the theatrical business, de-
creasing the sales OF books, and depriv-
ing summer hotels OF their pronts.
Therefore the motor car must be a
destructive engine In many ways. We are
bound to accept expert testimony until
equally good testimony Is offered 20 dis
prove It, II II could be proved that the
theatrical business in New York ana
London Is not quite so profitable as It
used 20 be because OF overcompetltion
and an excess OF poor plays II someone
could show that many books are not
bought because too many are published

show that the summer resort buE mess had
suffered because OF the extravagant price;

SOCIALIST VOTE SPLIT.

T looks as If those class conscious Social
istsp would have to begin almost at the
bottom again to educate their followers. Hearst,
as candidate for Mayor, played havoc with
the Socialist vote in New York City which usu-
ally numbers about $4,000. When Hearst runs
Tor any office he splits that vote in half to the
distress and dismay of the Socialist leaders
Their newspaper organ in New York City bit
terly fought Hearst and endeavored to stem the
tide of the Socialist vote for him. But it was
useless Hearst charmed thousands of the So
calists who believed that he could bring about
a few of the reforms that he promised When
Hearst runs again for Office he will get large
share of the Socialists. Hearst's political cap
ital is in his not being elected to any Office. II
elected the people would find out that Hearst
could not do half the things that he promised
and then there would be another fallen and be-
spattered idol
One of the doctrines Of the Socialists, the old
time Socialists, has been that the party should
keep absolutely aloof from the other parties
They hold that all who are not with us are
against us. On this plank the great party in
Germany was built, but Of late years many So
ciasts believe it is better to take something
than nothing Half pie is better than no pie.
Get some reforms if we cannot get all, they say.
It is this sentiment that caused the wide open
split OF the party at the recent election in New
York, and it has also caused wrangng divisions
in the party in Germany. The insurgents do
not wish to continue standing aloof from legis-
lation and the other parties

GREAT SUMS GO ABROAD.

a MOTHER argument in favor of the estab-
lshment Of postal savings banks is con-
tanned in the annual report of M. 0. Chance, au-
ditor Of the Postofice Department just made
public.
He points out that in the last twenty years for
eieners in the United States have sent back 70
their homes by means of money orders the enor-
nous sum Of S4S1o56623 in excess of the
amount that they have received from abroad.
More than half OF this sum went out IN the last
four years, and so per cent of the total went
to six countries in Europe, Austria, Great Brit
aim Hungaria, Italy Norway and Russia 1t
represents the surplus earning Of foreign la
Dor employed in the gigantic industrial and com
mercal business OF this country.
Auditor Chance says that it is fair assump-
ton that a majority Of the foreign element So
iourning in this country would patronize gov
ernmental postal savings banks, and thus con-
siderable share Of the millions Of dollars now an
nually sent abroad for deposit in banks of their
own country would remain here in the custody Of
the Secretary Of the Treasury.
