The near-centenarian remembers

All the nonogenarians and octo-

septuagenar;ans of this locality are
trying to get into the club, but they
cannot qualify because they did not
see the comet on the occasion of
its last visit to this part of the

Brands RESIGNATION.

Premier Brands resignation, an.
nounced today from Paris, comes vir-
tually without warning. He has just
passed through two critical expert
ences. his resistance Of the railway
strike having aroused the admiration
of the world, and his successful con-
frontation of his socialistic critics in
parliament apparently insuring him a
continued tenure of Office. The cir
cumstances of his resignation are not
yet clear. but II would appear to be
case of inability on the part Of the
ministry to agree upon q program.
This experience has been noted before
in the case OF French ministries, which
are composed of divergent elements
temporarily acting in unison. The
differences between French political
parties are not clear to the average
foreign observer, and often 1t is i'm
possible to trace the lines Of cause and
effect when seeking an explanation of
actions. Brands course in the strike
situation indicated that he had eman-
cipated himself from the trammels OF
socialistic doctrines which he formerly
entertained. and was on the way to de-
velopment into statesmanship France
needs strong man at this juncture,
and NJ BRAND appeared during the
strike crisis to possess the Qualifica-
tons fitting him for leadership. For
the sake of France 1t is to be hoped
that either he will be persuaded to
reorganize the ministry or that a new
man as courageous and as resourcefuI
and as intent upon the freeing of
France from the dangerous doctrines
which now menace it will be found to
take the helm.

We're Not So Bad.
From the Chicago Tribune.

When recently the German crown prince
on the advice Of his uncle and other trav-
elerS decided not to visit America because
Of the vulgar. democratic curiosity to
which he would be subjected. our pride
was deeply touched and we had to admit
that there was in our republican desire
to see royalty certain elements which
made US obnoxious to distinguished for
eign visitors and which disgraced US in
the eyes of better bred people. We had
supposed that in parts Of Europe where
royalty still obtains and where the sight
Of kings and kaisers was not so uncom-
mon when such exalted personages
made their appearance on the streets
they were treated with Difference and
that our morbid curiosity was completely
absent Reports from Frankfort. where
one of the greatest Of European SOW
ereigns has lately been staying incognito,
have made us think that we are not en-
tirely unique in our bad manners. Learn
ing that the sovereign was In china
shop, crowds congregated outside in such
dense numbers that the royal visitor
could not attain his carriage until a
grand duke at the head of a body Of Sc
cret service men pushed way for him to
it by main force. Even Chicago couldn't
do worse than that.

Maryland's Game Season.
From the Baltimore American.


There is probably no other state in the
Union that has such a puzzling medley
Of game laws as Maryland. A search
through the records will probably show
that there has not been a Maryland legis-
lature during the past half-century that
has not done something in the way of
remodeling the game statutes. Pretty
much every Maryland county has batch
OF special game laws. and the general
laws regulating the shooting or trapping
Of game are more or less revised every
legislative year. In ten of the Maryland
counties the cunning season for rabbits
and quails opened yesterday. In the other
counties the date of opening of the rab-
bit and quail season varies from October
II to November IL. The closing date for
these two species varies from November
"a to February L. And so there are va
rying laws regulating the hunting of
SQUIRRELS. grouse, wild turkeys, doves.
woodcock. reedbirds, plover, snipe, wild
duck and deer. In most of the Maryland
counties 1t became lawful to shoot wild
duck yesterday-that is. lawful for those
who had complied with the provisions of
the special statutes that may happen to
be operative in the particular county
where the sportsman may be going after
wild ducks.

passageway to the car door, but in conse-
quence of the smoke that inevitably
drifts into the interior with every open
ing of the door. The companies have
always been liberal in their allowance
of room to smoking passengers. but it
is plain from the decision Of the Court
Of Appeals that they can no longer af-
ford to permit this practice. inasmuch as
every person standing on the platform.
even though that position may be chosen
in preference to a seat within the car, is
a potential claimant for damages. 1t
remains for the transportation companies
to consider whether they shall run cars
especially designed or reserved for sInok-
ers or continue the operation of the gen.
eral service car. rigidly enforcing the
rule of no platform riding. The open
car with transverse seats in use in sum-
mer solves the problem as far as the
smokers are concerned. This type of car
however, cannot be used as a trailer
after July 1, 1912, under the orders of the
interstate commerce commission. which
are In accord with the, decision of the
companies to abolish that form of equip
ment before that date.
The decision of the Court of Appeals
writes an important principle VI Ia" With
reference to the liability of a, common
carrier in this District. 1t is based upon
the theory that whatever the company
permits, through the acceptance of pas
sengers. imposes an obligation upon the
franchise holder. Thus as long as car
is operated and Is stopped for pas
senger to enter the obligation rests upon
the company to insure every one who pays
a fare regardless of the accommodations
afforded, safe passage to destination.
The court does not hold that the pas
senger who boards a car is entitled to
seat. On the other hand, it does not JUS
tify the company In DISCRIMINATING
against any class of passengers who are
compelled by circumstances or who them
selves choose to occupy position or
comparative danger. With this liability
in view the transporting company can
take such precautions as it deems fit to-
event any passenger from placing HIM
II or from being forced into position or
isl. This may be done by changing
the style of vehicle, by reducing the
number of passengers carried or by in
creasing the number of cars operated.
