Warning Against Noise.

If these Maxim men keep on much longer
they will stop most of the noises that
now aff1ict the ears of people dwelling
in and near large cities. First came the
Maxim device to silence the sound of a
pistol or rifle shot 1t unqueStionably has
had an influence upon the noisiness of
warfare, although that does not greatly
affect the public. Pistol shots are not
frequent in the course OF city life, even
though the pistol laws do remain So lax
and loosely enforced that gun carrying is
common. But the principle Of the Maxim
gun silencer is now being extended to
other sources of noise, and there is hope
for the nervous and those who deplpre
the present tendency of community life
to loudness. Motorcycles. stationary en-
gines. rock drills and locomotive safety
waves have in turn been Maxiynized.
which means that their noise-making has
been minimized. Now comes a motor
boat silencer. the effect of which is to
prevent the emission Of sound audible
thirty feet away from the craft. Now one
of the Nlaxims is working on a silenGer
for noisy street cars. and he will have
the good wishes of millions of people in
this research. Something that will pre-
vent the shrieking wheel fanges at curves
will do very well for a starter. Noise is
the chief nuisance Of modern life and
most of it is unnecessary.

The Melted Sword.

During the Boer var in South Africa
the English generals at the front had
frequent occasion to send to London Of
fetal statements beginning. Il regret to
report" The phrase became known the
world over, for there was much of a
regrettable nature for the British COM
manders to report. Nazim Pasha, COM
mander -in-chief of the Turkish forces,
strikes new note in the matter of Of
fetal announcements Of disaster. He
sends this word to Constantinople re-
garding the conditions at the front:
My sword has melted in my hands"
One cannot feel otherwise than a sense
of commiseration for Maxim Pasha. He
has fought valiantly, as Turks can
fight and has been faithful to his trust.
Before him has advanced an army oi
size equal to that of his own, and in
spired by a sense of many wrongs to
be righted. many grievances to be
avenged. Behind him were disorganiza-
ton. dishonesty. inefficiency. The fire
that melted the sword in Maxim Pasha s
hands came not from military in.
adequacy. but general governmental in
competence.
The Turk has finished his course as
a power. He may perhaps. through the
contrivances of continental politicians
prolong his stay in Europe somewhat
but not for long will he retain foot.

The business 1,lgn ocnooi Pupil.

Merit is OBVIOUSLY TO be ulscel neu IN
the plan that has just been iaii before
the school authorities by the principal
of the Business High School. who pro-
poses that when pupils in that institution
are engaged in any line of business occu-
patton outside of school hours, as, 1or
example, in helping their parents in shops
and Offices, they be given c. edit IN tneir
schoo. marks and study assignments lot
whatever of merit they display in these
occupations. 1t is fact that many pupils
of this school start their business careers
before they graduate, chiefly as What
may be called home helpers. lnasmuch
as the chief purpose of the Business
High School is to fit boys and girls for
commercial pursuits it would seem to be
altogether reasonable to encourage them
in direct application of their knowledge
and special training. Principal Davis
suggestion is. for example, that if a pupi.
is successfully applying bookkeeping.

ness training in the evening or on holi-
days he be allowed to d. op study In
which he has become sufficiently prof.

ection of specialization. The Business
High School it is itself an institution OF
specialized training, just as Is in large
measure the Technical High School. In
the case of such an institution outside
work along the lines of studies might
profitably be encouraged. just as home
study of academic subjects is encour-
aged and even required in general scho-
lastic institutions. But here arises an
important question. How far should the
pupil be permitted, or even encouraged,
to use time and strength in outside en-
deavor while engaged in school pursuits?
This question is first to be considered,
affecting, as 1t does, the physical and
mental welfare of the boy or girl. If
the Business High School is to be strict

diminishing amount of school attendance
and class work as the course progresses
toward completion. the pupil thus enter

relations as he nears the time Of grad

would be of material financial assistance
to parents who now are put to some
straits to give their children commercial

Mr.. Clark.

The Sneaker has arrived in washington

fray. His part in the presidential CAM
n.,gn was conspicuous and valuable. and

appointment which must have oeen

enemies and canvassed for the Baltimore

diences. and helped roll up the plurali-
ties which have made Mr. Wilson's sue
cess ar the polls notable in such contests
II is q record of which Mr.. Clark's friends
are. and of right should be, proud.
Some talk-at no time persuas've-has
been current about opposition to MI
Clark for reelection to the speakership
Suddenly it has died out 1t is clear now
that the Sneaker will have no opposition
for a second term. BY every consldera-
tion he is the one man for the place HIS
success in it has been highly creditahle to
him and serviceable to his party. and the
business to come before the next House
will be even more important than tat
which the present House has beer - led
on to handle. Lucky is his party indssd. II
have a man of his ability and experience
to preside over the deliberations of that
branch of Congress which in the matter
of taxa.ion-now so important-is charged
with the initiative.
What speculation has connected Mr.
Clarks name with a cabinet appointment
has been based upon the notion that the
speakership shorn of the power over conf
mittee assignments has lost its place in
our governmental scheme; that 1t is no
longer next to the presidency. That is
mistake The power lost was consider
able, but that remaining also Is great. A
man in the chair in the House altogether
equal to it's duties has much weight In
shaping the program. He is often con-
suited, and his advice is pondered. And it
is still in the province of the Speaker to
leave the chair when his interest in meas
ures suggests. and take part in the debate
as the representative of a constituency.
And in another aspect of things the
speakership should appeal to MIR Clark
more strongly than a cabinet place. He IS
not out of all presidential calculations. In
1916 he will be but sixty-six years of age
still young enough to aspire to the presi-
dency. The manner of his defeat at Bal
timore brought him much sympathy. His
carriage in the circumstances increased
the number OF his friends. If, therefore
the democratic party scores in Office, Mr.
Clark should get third term as Speaker
and that will show him with the gavel in
his hand at the time the next democratic
national convention assemblies.

Presidential Minorities.

Comment on the fact that Gov. Wilson
appears to have. been named for the pres
idency by minority of those who went
to the polls on election day is necessarily
more or less modified by the fact that the
exact figures are not available for pur-
poses of comparison and analysis. In
their absence it is idle to institute COM
parsons between the minority Presi-
dents" Of the past and the latest re-
cpient of majority of the electoral
votes. Yet such comparison has been
undertaken by one who seeks to
show that Gov. Wilson polled a popular
vote of 4S per cent, approximately as
great as that given to any of the Presi-
dents who have failed to secure an abso-
lutte majority at the polls. From 1920
onward there have been, not including
this years election, ten minority Pres.-
dents" polling the following percentages
Of the popular vote: John Quincy Adams,
80 per cent; James X. Polk, 80 per cent /;
Zachary Taylor, 46 per cent; James
Buchanan, 40 per cent; Abraham Lincoln,
10 per cent; Rutherford B. Hayes. 4S per
cent; James a. Garfield. 4S per cent;
Grover Cleveland QsSD, 40 per cent; Ben
jamin Harrison, Al per cent; Grover
Cleveland QS32), 46 per cent. The latest
obtainable figures are that the outside
estimate of the total vote cast on the
9TH was 15,3oO,OOO. Gov. Wilson's vote
was approximately 100000, or 4Oia per
cent Thus the estimate of 4S per cent
for him. which would place him up with
the leaders in this class is evidently much
too high. 1t is quite probable that when
the figures are all in hand the Wilson
vote will be found to be little ii any
above 40 per cent.
