A BIG HAT INCIDENT.

WILL women have more respect for laws when
they help to make them? despairingy asks
the Springfield, Mass. Republican which thereby
admits that the day will come when women will
be part of the law-making body.
The question grows out of controversy over
big hats in Boston. Mayor Fitzgerald of the bean
city recently informed the managers of the SYM
phony concerts that they must obey the city ordi-
nance by having big hats removed under penalty
of a loss of license.
At a recent concert cards we're distributed bear
ing this notice: Ladies wearing hats in SYM
phony hall during concert are violating the law.
Will you kindly remove your hat? You will
thereby obge those seated behind you and aid
in observing the law"
Was the request granted? Well, hardly. Only
two or three removed their hats and some of those
who refused declared that truly cultured people
do not 90 to symphony concerts to see but TO hear
and they could hear well although hidden by
a big hat.
The mayor does not know what to do, but per-
haps il would be we'll for him to order the ancient
and honorable artillery TO load up with ammuni-
tion from the wine cellars and then proceed to
enforce the hats off" order

Our Democratic contemporaries

of the recent interviews with certain
Republicans Of this State relating TO
conditions IN the last campaign IN the

by the Democrats Immediately after
election, when inspired articles. emi-
mating from this State. were published
in outside dailies. some OF them pur-
porting TO be interviews. Every one of
these articles sang the same tune
about Republican bribery and corrup-
ton in the last campaign The articles
were eXaggerations and untruthful
and proved on their face. that they
were inspired and published for the
purpose of discreditlng certain Repub-
licans OF this State So continuous was
