THIS rule are politely given the money

depart In peace. This rule Is strictly
ienforced---as much against tho BACK
BAY bourbon as against the poverty
stricken clerk.
Another very good rule in the same
theatre is that actors shall not re-
spond to applause until the end Oh
an act. This cuts off the unevenness
and incongruity of an interrupted pre-
sentation. 1t makes for n smooth ana
more realistic performance.
1t is Just as much a breach of good
manners to arrive late at the theatre
as 1T is to come to dinner as a guest
after the assembled party has gone
through course or two.

Governor Wilson, of New Jersey, would
be able to give the boiled pumpkin

diet Anybody who would eat 1T ought

Tnn s1LENcn Of RYAN.

Several days ago Thomas f. Ryan

what protracted visit to Europe. The
newspapers announced his arrival and
tried to get an expression of opinion
from him as to the result of the re-
cent elections. lie had nothing to say
and the same papers have been trying
to make capital out of his silence. II
Mr., Ryan had said anything on the
subject it would have been twisted
out of it's true meaning, doubtless
just as there is disposition in some
quarters to treat his silence as slnis-
ter. 1t is remarkable that whether
some men hear or forbear, there are

Automobiles ut Corners.

To the Editor OF The Times Dispatch:
Sir.--I have single suggestion to
make as to street regulations for au-
tomobiles, viz: to require them to go
dead slow when turning corner. The
writer narrowly escaped being run
down on two separate occasions, in the
past few days. and in each case. Just.
as the automobile was rapidly turning
a corner.
1t is extremely hard for pedestrian
to gauge the speed when an auto
mobile comes suddenly around corner,
even at moderate speed. and some
times he does not know whether to
retreat or advance. An error In de-
Gliding may be fatal. They do not even
sound their horns In turning a corner
The single regulation requiring au-
tomobiles to go dead slow when turn
ing corner will do more to avoid &C.
cidents than all the regulations Of the
German government, to which you re-
fer in your editorial of the 18th.

There is likelihood of an interesting
race for the vacant United states SEN
atorship from Rhode Island when the
Legislature of that small State con
venes. 1t seems certain that Senator
Nelson W. Aldrch Will retire, but IT is
very uncertain who shall succeed him.
Colonel Samuel P Colt of the Rub
Der Trust. was prominent candidate
for the vacant seat during the earlier
part of the year, but has withdrawn.
There are now two other Republi,
can candidates in the field: Henry r.
Lippitt. prominent business man, and
Judge LeBaron B. Colt, of the United
States Circuit Court. Little is known
about the ability of Mr.. Lippitt but it
would be perfectly natural if Judge
Colt We're to lean toward corporate in
terests, as he is brother of the presi-
dent of the Rubber Trust, which has
figured rather conspicuously In re-
cent Congressional scandal. The Re-
publican manufacturers of Rhode Is
land are supporting Judge Colt very
ardently.
The indications are that the Re
publican party will be divided into
warning factions in the next Legisla-
ture. If this be the~case, there will be
a very fair chance for the election OF
Judge Arthur l.. Brown. of the United
States Court who is the unanimous
choice Of the Democrats in the state.
He is Cleveland appointee, a very
learned ana able Judge, a man of I'M
impeachable character who would
make Rhode Island a far better rep
resentative in the Senate than It has
had in lo these many years.

There is no surprise down in North
Caroline that the Kaiser should have
preferred TO talk to Professor Smith
rather than to converse with Professor
Munsterburg. Says the Greensboro

with DR.. Smith:
.'Of course 1t remained for a native
North Carolinian to- take all the cake
and the pudding without the least eff
fort Dr. c. Alphonso Smith, of the
University OF Virginia, a native OF
Greensboro now and for some time in
Germany, had an audience with the
Kaiser the other day, when that poten-
tate became so interested in him tha.
he is quoted as turning his back on
the Others in the party There is
nothing astonishing in the fact that
DR.. Smith caught him at the first
shot. The entire Smith family is given
to this without effort. 1t is a habit
they have without knowing. Had DR..
Smith had his banjo with him he would
have routed the whole push, leaving the
Kaiser and himself in sole possession
of the premises"
There is 10 music like the music of
the banjo, and no life like the life that
dances to it's music. We did not know
before that DR.. Smith was a vlrtuoso
on this instrument, but we are ready
to believe that he could make 1t hum.

THE sOLlD SOUTH.

| The Hon. William Barnes, Ir., late

asks in his newspaper the Albany
Evening Journal "Will the South re-
main solid2' He has been reading the
Baltimore Manufacturers Record anc
! has found in 1T every week a most i'm
posing body Of statistics touching the
industrial growth of the South, the
creation of new Industries and the
expansion of old ones.
The men of the South who
are promoting these enterprises
and managing them" Brother Barnes
says, know well that the Dem
ocratic plan of tariff reduction
| IL it were carried into effect would
instantly stop further progress and
expansion and become a serious men
ace to growing manufacturing enter
prises. and ali the other intelligent
people of the South know it," Hav-
ing thus laid down his premises,
Brother Barnes asks; VIII lie South
nevertheless, continue to send Demo-
cratic members % The House 81 hep-
resentatives and to the United states
Senate and to give the electoral vote
Of Its states to a Democratic tsresiden-
tial candidate?' NO sooner docs he
ask this question than Brother Barres
answers it thus: We doubt il, he
cause it is not in human nature to
90 contrary to ones interest mere
lily for the sake of sentiment
that has no longer an iota of
reason to sustain 1t. 1t is entirely
within the possibilities tina. the break
ing of the Solid South will be one of
the direct results of the advantage
which the Democratic party has Just
gained,
Yea. verify, this is interesting. tut
1T is not conclusive In the irst place.
"the Democratic plan OF tariff reduc-
ton" has not been determined Upon SO
far as we know, and there is no reason
TO believe that any revision of Tie
tariff that might be determined by the
Democrats would affect adversely the
development of the Industrial South.
There is a very good reason why tho
South has been politically solid. re-
garding the question Of It's solidarity
wholly from an Industrial point of
view. There was no industrial prog
ress In any of the Southern States
while these States were under l;epub-
lican control. II was only after its
deliverance from Republican DONNA
tion that the South began to grow in
wealth and Industry. All that the
South has achieved has been achieved
under Democratic administration of
It's affairs. This is one of the reasons,
If not the controlling reason, why The
South has remained politically solid,
and why the South will continue politi-
caly solid, until there is come sort
of square dealing with it by the Gov
eminent at Washington. Besi1es the
Industrial South is not dependent for
its success. we believe, upon exacting
tribute from the other parts of the
country.

AT TIE HEAD OF THE WHITE

WIN
Miss Anna Fl. Murphy is to lie
ward superintendent OF Chicago as
| soon as there Is a vacancy. This means
that she will have charge of large
squad of street cleaners and will aid
materially in Keeping the Windy city
neat and clean, If that be possible.
She is a pretty young woman, now
employed as timekeeper and clerk In
the water pipe extension office. For
some time she has aspired to she posi-
ton of ward superintendent, and size
now heads the eligible list in the civil
service Office
Miss Murphy is enthusiastic over
the prospect Of looking after chicago's
street and alley cleaning, and 1t is
her hope to excel the record OF Mrs
Emmagene A. Paul, chicagos only wo-
man ward superintendent
Miss Murphy believes-and we agree
with her-that woman knows more
about street cleaning and is better
fitted to direct it than men are. As
she says, sit is simply case of muni-
.ciPal housekeeping. and a woman with
executive ability can do it,
She says she does not fear the task
of bossing. so many men, because she
never had 4any trouble in managing
them" 1t is her intention to impress
her men with the idea that they are
working with her in the conmon cause
of the city's good. She has acted be-
fore as ward superintendent in the
absence Of one of the men, and got
along all right
As might have been expected, Miss
Murphy marches beneath the proud
banner of equal suffrage. she is a
pronounced blonde, and when she APP
pears radiant in dainty white waist
and picture hat among her Italian
subordinates, she will no doubt be a
most attractive and efficient COM
