BLIND MANS WHISTLE
How the Si&htIess Get Across Crowded
 Streets In Chicago

From the Washington Post.
 There is little whistle in use in Chi- caso which is as effective in making c way through the crush at the street cor. ners as that employed by the members of the traffic squad said A. T. Rutherford of Chicago at the Arlington.
 The privilege of using it, I believe. is a new one. never heard of 1t until recently. I was walking along State street, near Madison. When I reached the crossing the traffic squad officer had stopped the carriages and trucks on Madison. and the right of way was being given to State street. Just as | reached the curb I heard the sound of whistle. It was mellow note, something like that of flute. I knew 1t couldn't be the policemAn's whistle, so turned around to investigate. At my elbow were three young men, standing arm in arm A second look showed me that they were blind. One of the trio was blowing . tiny whistle.
 At the sound of this whistle the Gss,a cer left his post and came to the cusa He took one of the party by the arm and led the three men across the street followed them as they went along State street The same signal was given at the next crossing, and the blind men again were led across the crowded thor oughfare. Later found out that this privilege had been extended to the blind persons of Chicago as the result of the efforts of an organization which is de- voted to their interests. The police de- pertinent, in granting 1t. stipulated that tho signal whistles should have . tone which would distinguish them readily from those used by the men of tho traf- fic squad"

Infl-Bess Var h HsV York

The embittered factions of the repub- lican party in New York are gathering ct Saratoga Springs to take part In the convention of next Tuesday. The only remarkable thing about this fac tional struggle is. there is no room for compromise No one need suggest . compromise either to the ex-Presi- dent or to MT. Barnes who will soon be an ex-boss.
 As Tuesday draws near 1t becomes palmer that the Roosevelt bandwagon is gaining recruits from the ranks of the machine. No politician courts de- feat. He prefers a winner to loser every time. and the colonsrs luck or political sense, or both. is by no means a lost quantity. MT. Roosevelt will dominate the convention, but his po- Iitical sense will not permit him, un- der any circumstances, to atcept the nomination for governor. That will 10 to. some man who will be con- tent with the empty honor of nom nation
 The democrats meet two days later st Rochester. and Mayor Gaynor will = As1xed to accept the leadership of lAs party in the state. He is as strong ond popular in the upstate counties as he is in the big city that he pre- sides over. His nomination would mean sweeping victory wholly regardless Af the nominations at Saratoga, and the sweeping victory In New York points plainly to a national victory two years later, for history has a habit of re- peating itself. ,

MAGAZINE SHORT STORIES
From the Chicago Inter Ocean.

The average short story of today is distinguished by the painful fact that it never get anywhere. There are a lot of word6-in fact, a surplus of conversation, but at the end of it all, after one has striven through page after page the prin- cipal characters are found to be about where they were before the writer took them in hand. In these stories there are generally a man and a woman who are trying to come together, or a man and a woman who are already together and are inevitably getting apart. The tale Is made up of their whims, impulses, atti- tude, hesitations, reticences, condolences.
 It never seems to occur to anybody but the reader that little action would go a long way. The writer's utmost conces- sion to movement toward a definite end is to permit somebody to walk across a room, go to window, or pick up pink verbena. That change of position natur- ally alters the psychological relations of the principal characters and starts them out anew. After a few~pages of this one feels like a man standing in a tiresome position waiting for a parade to start. But the magazine short story parade. alas! It never starts at all. It stands around for awhile until everybody gets tired and then disbands And, what is the most astonishing thing of al. it in sists that there has been a parade!

Tho Lato Frank P, 0'Brisn

The memory of Frank P. o'Brien Greater Birmingham's first mayor should be perpetuated here in the form of statue in bronze or marble. Cap tain o'Brien was not only, the city's chief executive at the time of his death. but he was pioneer citizen and one of the most public-spirited and generous hearted men Birmingham ever claimed. No one has loved this city more than he; none helped in its upbuilding with more en- thusiasrn. and no man has been held in more cordial esteem. A battle-scarred veteran of the Confederacy, a hero in the early days of Birmingham when the cholera ragged and threatened the very existence Of the little city. and chival- rous, high-minded gentleman, Captain o'Brien was eminently worthy of all the public honors that were accorded his memory when his mortal remains were laid to rest Such lives furnish noble ex- ampies, indeed. for the young.
 An O'Brien monument fund should be started without delay. Individual sub scriptions need not be large, for there are thousands of people here who should feel it privilege to aid in erecting a suitable memorial to Frank P. OBrien.
