We have not seen the full text
Of the new driving regulations Just

but the published summary Indicates
that they are first-rate as far as they
go. The question is whether they go
far enough. In addition to rules for
vehicles passing or o%vertakinE each
other, 1t is provided that no vehicle
shall be left standing in front OF q
hotel or other public building, and
rules are also prescribed which will
make all vehicles face in the proper
direction when starting. These arc
both wise provisions. Nothing seems
to be said, however. about turning
corners, an important point especially
in streets where traffic is continuous.
Probably the new code can be amend
ed and added to with advantage. Mean

start has been made toward reforms
in the use of our streets which have

Boston's new reform charter got a
heavy blow In the triumphant return
of Honey Fitz" to the Mayors Office.
Every newspaper in Boston opposed
Fitzgerald, or declined to support him,
and SO did every other agency devoted
to the cause of good government. But
the former Mayors political wiles and
his strong personal organization were
too much for the best efforts OF his
adversaries. According to DR.. Eliot,
Boston discarded the direct primary
and adopted nominations by petition
on the ground that the former system
gave the people no effectual weapon
against the bosses. Boston's first
essay with the new system has put
into her highest Office a rather badly
s:nirched boss of the Tammany type.
The experiment seems to have been
a complete failure. 1t was aimed at
the E.itzgeralds OF politics, and the
Fftageralds, on the first attempt, have
mounted 1t and ridden 1t according to
their Will. Partyless nominations do
not seem able to w the peopleSfrom
themselves. and the public-spirited
citizens OF Boston who have long
struggled to better the governmental
conditions or their city have good
reason to feel discouraged.

MAY ELECT MORE BISHOPS
OR EIGHT PROBABLY WILL BE CHOSEN AT
 CONFERENCE

Asheville, N. C., May 6.-Instead of the five or six bishops which the college of bishops recommended that the quadriennial conference of the M. E. church, South, select, it seems not improbable that seven or eight will be chosen. A sentiment among the dele gates is setting in in favor of two missionary bishops, one for the Orient and the other to look after affairs in Central and South America. The men oftenest mentioned are Dr. Wal ter R. Lambuth of Nashville, Tenn, for the Orient, and Rev. II. C. Tucker of Rio Janeiro for the South Ameri- can sea.
 While presumably there are no can ddates for the office of bishop in the Methodist church there is nothing in the practice of the church to prevent the friends of able ministers from conducting an energetic campaign for their favorites. That is being done now and two score or more names have been mentioned. It is impossi- be to predict the result, but two men seem to be more likely than others of the selection. These are: Dr. J. c. Kilgo, president of Trinity college, Durham, N. C., and Dr. Collins Den ny of Vanderbilt University at Nash vile, Tenn.

THE ZIMMERMAN WON.

On divers and sundry occasions the Architect has taken pleasure in men tioning the old-time printers, and his pleasure in meeting with them or hearing of their successes. A few months ago he mentioned the fact that one of the old-timers, Earl w. Hodges, yearned to be auditor of the great state of Arkansas, and express ed the hope that Hodges would win out Now comes the glad tidings that the old-time printer did win out, and by a handsome majority. That is, he received the Democratic nomina- ton, which amounts to the same thing as an election in Arkansas. In a little note to the Architect Col. Hodges says:
 If you are ever down this way, or will take a week off and visit us, we'll show you a good time With the eX- ception of your own good state, Ar kansas is miles ahead of any other state in the Union. l ought to know I've been in several of them. Come down to our annual press meeting in May. What about it? Bring your friend along-the gentleman who ed it's the Commoner. We are all Bryan men down here, girls and boys alike. "
 Gee, but we'd like to accept that in vitation and roam around through the Arkansas, hills in company with a bunch of good fellows-and they are all good fellows down that way. The matter will be submitted to the gen tleman referred to by Col. Hodges The Commoner.
