A Full Dress Change at Vienna

| 1t has been stated in dispatch from
| Vienna that the new Emperor of Aus
| tria has decreed that henceforward the
morning coat will be the proper wear
| for daytime court audiences instead of
! the full dress or claw-hammer coat that
has for years been the bane of occi-
dental diplomats. 1t is to be hoped that
this innovation viii spread to other
prescription in the future for affairs of
ceremony will be along the new Aus
trian line According to American ideas
the claw hammer or full dress coat is
distinctly a nocturnal garb. When at
home man would no more think of
wearing a full dress suit during day
light hours than he would wear white
fannels on F street in midwinter. In
Latin countries the claw hammer is
proper form for all sorts of ceremonies,
whatever the hour. One of the com
Tonest sights in South and Central
America, and. indeed. in Italy and some
other European countries, is to see fes-
tival array in the streets that here at
home is associated only with the hours
of darkness. Evidently Emperor Charles
has some ideas Of his own, and is dis
posed to put them into execution. What
ever else may betide, he will be blessed
by at least American officials. who will
hope that his innovation viii cause sim
liar changes elsewhere.

Deserving of Recognition

From the Dover Delaware State News.
According to news dispatches sent
out from Washington. there is a strong
likelihood that United States Senator
willard salisbury VIII be chosen
either democratic floor leader or presi-
dent pro tcmpore when the Senate
convenes next month. Should either of
these signal honors be conferred upon
the senior senator from Delaware, as
he now is, all Delawaretw i'll have good
reason To feel proud for there are
some mighty good men in the Senate.
And yet Senator salisbury is entirely
deserving of the honor. for ii is due
largely to his active work in the west
eru states that the democrats instead
Of the republicans are celebrating their
national victory. The State News will
certainly be more than pleased to ex-
tend congra tulations to Senator SauIs-
bury should he be selected for either
of the high posts for which he is men,

Where the aExportsn Com. IN.

1t is mere political evasion to say
that the country should wait for a
tariff commission to study the dye
stuffs problem and the need for pro-
lection in other industries. Even the
Democratic party did not wait for a
tariff commission to decide that free
trade In sugai would annihilate the
sugar industry OF America. Nor is a
tariff commission needed TO ascertain
that the present law is not producing
sufficient revenue for the government.
