l. MAYOR GAYNoR A DEMAGoGUE'

Mayor Gaynor in his speech befoee the Water
WAYS Convention would brand the average in.

gogue. But by some marvellous adoption TO
circumstance those who are usually swift to
apply the epithet In his case rush 10
mendation Contemporaries. who eagerly dis
count and discredit such assertions from the
mouth of the mob" as they are pleased TO
denominate the people, and who with groans
and tears bewai the popular tendencies of the
day, gracously indorse the same sentiments
and principles when spoken and held by the
mayor Of our greatest municipality.
In short, Mr.. Gaynor asserts that public ser
vice corporations have no right to discriminate
against communities and individuals and this
discrimination manifested in unfair freight rates
and the giving OF rebates by the railroads has
enabled corporations to secure an advantage in
competition that has resulted in the overthrow
Of their rivals. He affirnls that this discrm-
ination has been economic crime for the past
generation To this cause as well as to the
organization of great holding companies. he

SILENCE. LOUD AND ELOQUENT.

1t is literally true that silence is sometimes
more eloquent than words. 1t is true in tho
Of Mr.. Roosevelt, who regretted his in
ability to come to the Waterways convention
because the necessity has been laid upon him
of maintaining silence.
Why the loquacious one should be forced to
gag his garrulity will be the subject of much
wonderment It was always thus. In the
glorious days of old matter of public or
private interest escaped the microscopic analysis
and the megaphonic announcement of the ready
Roosevelt. He has long played the role in
American life of the human hurdy- gurdy. The
ears of passers-by have been smitten with the
incessant sounds of Theodore's talk Above the
screams and and cries OF ferocious beasts
upon the breezes the stentorian tones of this
animate talking machine as he taught us from
his distant retreat how we should conduct our
selves. In the presence of powerful potentates
be feared not to speak. but dared to advise and
rebuke them too he honored royalty with
his presence and blessed them with his wis
dom, returning from his African junket at
the expense Of the Smithsonian institute
VII ythen this silence refreshing it is
unaccustomed? What hidden leash holds back
this human buge from his wonted blast? What
despcable hand has choked the pipes of this
walking callope?
There can be but one explanation If he
cannot longer indorse and support the adj
ADMINISTRATION of his protege he has at least de-
termined hard as the task may be. to main
tain a courteous silence. The bagpipe breathes
it's mellow music no longer the air because
the heart of him who supplies the wind il
weak The advocates of the denomination and
re election of MIR. Taft need look 70 no en-
enlargement from his former sponsor.

Doris turned her head suddenly at

found his face so near that even an
unprecedented onlooker would have
exonerated her from blame in what
followed. Derington's lips found her
own. and the wind blew her hair

laughed softly.

a certainty and the sound OF saw and hammer
already almost in ears; what with the
Corporation Commission commanding the own
to repair the canal and make the Richmond
Dock available for commercial purposes we are
likely to witness considerable activity In ship
ping.
The wonder is that Richmond has so long
seemed Indifferent TO the ADVANTAGES at her conn
mand in river and canal. Splenddly progress
sive and rapidly developing she has ignored
nevertheless those facilities that would have
contributed greatly TO her pogress and her
growth, Comparatively little time and money
in deepening channels and constructing wharfs
would have opened Richmond AS an accessible
and convenient port for vessels and barges
of certain tonnage and draft The benefits are
considerable and apparent.
Well let Us hope that we are now awake.
Rehabilitate the old facilities and create new.
So will Richmond enjoy all the advantages that
inevitably follow the encouragement and de-
velopment of water borne commerce.

THE CHORUS GTRn SOCIAD LIABILITY,

The rise Of the chorus to social significance
is a phenomenon of modern days The fact is
more readily discerned than explained. That
rich men have developed a penchant for the
chorus girl is as evident as the fact that my
lord dearly loves an heiress. But the attrac-
ton of the lowered damsel for necesstous
noble Is more susceptible of explanation than
the charm of the chorus girl for the gay young
buck with the Doodle Beauty OF face and
form. the subtle spell of the Bohemian at
mosphere, the witchery of accomplished eoquet-
ry, the glamour of the tinsel in the glare of
the caleum--all this may for the moment cap
ture the imagination and compel infatuation.
But as for marriage: would think that
were another matter Yet they marry--not
