his patronage. Wherever he went he
carried with him that aura Of power to
move mems hearts which distinguished
him In his professional endeavors. Re-
served and never presuning, he never
theless made his presence felt In any
company.
His position as . genius among actors
was established at the turn Of the CEN
tury. He was master, 1t was said, Of
more than q hundred and twenty-five
parts, running the gamut from Lord
Dundreary to Hamlet, Lord Chumley to
Macbeth. His Romeo, Antony, Shylock,
Richelieu and D'Artagnan were notable,
but he was equally competent as Lettar-
blair. Benedick, MIlvolio and villon. In
oil his work there was q practical per-
fection," as William Winter wrote, of
distinct, authoritative, crisp style" A
natural sympathy for chivalrous ideals
made him a magnificent exponent of
adventurous youth, courage, gallantry
and romantic feeling. He was the most
poetic Of lovers. but he never was maud
lin. Dignity was born in him, and he
did not stoop. Mr.. Winter summed up
his success In the words:
Sothern has affected the public
chiefly BY gentleness OF personality and
that graceful lucidity of impersonation
which is resultant from clarity Of art.
His achievement is substantial
and admirable, and he has richly de-
served the public gratitude and esteem.
Julia Marlowe was the ideal COM
panion for such man. 1t was she
who first suggested combining their
talents. and she quickened and stimu-
lated Mr.. Sothern's spirit. Together
they endowed the memory Of a genera
ton which is disappearing, but which
has not yet forgotten. To the surviv-
ing partner a Nations sympathy goes

Once more South Carolinas dispen-

The ideal method Of liquor regulation
will always be a matter for argument
and difference Of opinion. Many who
favored the dispensary system did 50 on
the theory that selling goods by the
package instead of by the drink and
requiring the liquor to be drunk away
from the place of sale made for tenn

Tammany May Decide.

Amid the clamor and clatter of
vituperative tongues in New York the
real issue In the campaign for the elec-
ton Of mayor Of the metropolis has
well-nigh been lost to sight and memory.
Originally the campaign started with
the determination Of Tammany to hold
on to the city government and with the
Fusionists intent upon overthrowing
Tammany's control and cleaning house.
Mayor O'Brien carried aloft the spot
less shield Of Tammany Hall, while for
mer Representative La Guardia was
the wielder of the brickbats for fusion.
The issue was clearly drawn. But at
the eleventh hour the Recovery party
had its birth. Joseph v. Mckee, who
claims that q vote for him is a vote for
Roosevelt and that vote for La Guar
dia is, by the same token, vote against
Roosevelt. cast his hat In the ring.
Immediately the whole picture changed.
The Ftsionists, headed by Mr.. La
duardia, have done their best to paint
Mckee as merely another boss. the
potential creator Of an organization on
the ruins Of the present Tammany con-
troll as sinister as Tammany has ever
been. Apparently the Flsionists have
realised that the actual danger to their
ticket came from the Mckee campaign,
rather than from the discredited Tam.

aid or . Tammany boss, As the case
may be.
Mr.. Mckee started with . flourish,
claiming that he 'yas in the race for
the sole purpose Of overthrowing the
despicable city government under
O'Brien and Boss Curry Of Tammany
Hall. But quickly he became engaged
in the heated pastime Of throwing
verbal brickbats at the -H:sionists. The
epithets exchanged between the two
candidates have made the campaign
largely q mud-slinging affair Both
Mckee and La Guardia have kept, up
q side barrage, with O'Brien and Tam
many as their targets. But this has
been by-play. The serious effort Of the
two champions Of good government has
been to kill of each other. Surely. If
anything could have given the Tam.
many outfit a life" this division of the
that end.
Perhaps, in the final outcome, the
election will be decided by Tammany.
To so low an estate has the Tiger fallen
that it seems improbable its candidate
for mayor can win. But II Tammany
throws its strength in part either to
La Guardia or to Mckee, 1t could well
decide which of the candidates is to
be the victor. Under such a set-up the
Tammany leaders would have to deter
mine whether they preferred to see the
fiery La Guardia in the saddle or Mr.
Mckee. There are those who contend
that if Tammany is convinced OBrien
is definitely defeated it will prefer to
have La Guardia in Office, believing that
in another four years it will be possible
to regain control for the organization,
rather than to have Mckee at the head
of a new organization of Democrats,
with firm grip on the city. 1t might,
1t is urged, be much more difficult,
practically impossible. to dislodge Nc
Kee in such circumstances.
Mckee Is Roosevelt Democrat. He
has been backed by Roosevelt Demo-
Gratis. 1t is inconceivable that John F.
Curry would ever come to the aid of
Mckee. He is the same Curry who
stuck to the last against Roosevelt at
the Democratic National Convention in
Chicago last year. preferring to take a
licking then rather than to have hand
in placing Mr.. Roosevelt In the White
House. On the other hand, there are
some of the lesser lights in the Tam
many organization who believe that II
they jump aboard the Mckee band
wagon they may be included in the
new Mckee Democratic organization.
A lot may depend on how the Tam.
many Tiger jumps on election day, or
whether the Tammany voters stick to
OBrien.

One Of the best pleasures Of . good
book lies in It's presentation to friend,
not as . loan. but as an Intellectual
gift.
In this way alone can the one write
an inscription.
A good inscription is q work Of art.
What can one say, In o few words,
which will be worth saying?
There are two sorts Of book inScrip-
tions, In the main, the formal one which
the author usually puts on one Of the
first leaves, and the informal ones un-
der discussion.
The authors inscription IS static.
once In type, II appears In his book
forever. This is something that ought
to give q writer pause. but the how OF
No matter how long a book lives, its
formal dedication stays with it. One
might think offhand that, in the course
Of the years, publishers in other and
later lands would have dropped them
out, but no, the Oldest Roman and Gre
clan works contain them In the very
latest editions.
Therefore 1t may be realized that the
formal dedication Of q work Is no little
thing. But it might be laid down as an
axiom that If q writer indulges in this
aniable weakness, he should have q
thought for the reader, too.
In other words, an author may keep
his readers in mind by refraining from
the use of such stereotyped dedications
as ITO H. g." and ITO. M. L. and H.
A. L." and the like.
Later readers, perhaps in strange
lands. will want to know more about
H. g." than just his initials.
1t Is better, then, If authors keep the
human curiosity Of readers well in
mind Perhaps the full name, say
Henry Gearshift," will mean no more
the author does the reader more honor
of the one to whom the inscription is
dedicated
Perhaps the use of initials only on
such otherwise imprinted pages Is due
to an innate modesty, but If SO the aver
age reader will be inclined to feel 1t
misplaced.
If the book is worth dedicating to
some one, the one so honored ought to
be even more elated to find his name
set down in its full dignity.
We always have thought that the
book with general, rather than a Spe-
cific, inscription nearer meets the
hearts desire.
Is it not species Of mild affront to
the multitudeS of possible readers to
dedicate good book to one alone?
The best formal dedication would be
to all ike-minded readers for they,
after all, are the only ones who will
read the book.
Many a tragedy might be read in
such things, just as the old-fashioned
dedication of songs usually at the top
OF the sheet, carried many a heart
ache.
Inscriptions put In books with pen
and ink may be more personal in nature
than the formal dedications to which

The British Debt.

Circumstantial indications are forth
coming that the British debt negotia-
tions which set in at Washington sew
eral weeks ago have foundered and are
about to be postponed indefinitely
Pending official confirmation of their
breakdown, the cause of it can only
be surmised A hint is visible in the
report that the British offered lump
sum settlement Of twenty-five cents on
the dollar. which the Americans coun-
tered by asking for a seventy -five-cent
basis.
Another version. which smacks of
plausibility. suggests that both sides
are agreed as to the futility of contin-
uing debt deliberations until the Presi-
dents new monetary policy and the
whole American recovery program are
further advanced The alleged lump
sum proposal is said to have been ac-
companied by British suggestion that
the pound be stabilized at some point
between $438 and s462.
It is to be assumed that even though
current debt discussions come to
naught, the British, when their De-
cember installment falls due here,
will continue the system of token"
payments they inaugurated on the oc-
casion of the late June installment
The token" was rendered as evidence
Of Britain's acknowledgment of the
validity Of the debt and accepted by
the United States in the same spirit.
Always to be remembered Is that
Great Britain, like ourselves, is a
creditor nation and in her own in
terest cannot afford to set a shining
example Of reputation or default in
the realm of International obligations
The same situation applies to France.
The French have been In default at
Washington since December of last
year and have made no move so far to
rectify that situation. The new Sar-
raut government at Paris seems dis
predecessor, the Daladier ministry,
which evinced q purpose to wait and
see what finally emerged from the
British debt negotiations in Wash
ington.
Evidently there is no disposition on
the part Of the Roosevelt administra-
ton to rush debt matters while re-
covery developments absorb the atten-
ton Of the Government and the coun-
try alike. Exchange and currency
questions bulk 50 largely in any set
tlement eventually to be made that the
President may think it best, every
thing considered, to let the situation
take care Of itself until stabilization
becomes more feasible than he now
believes it to be.
Our British friends have given
earnest Of their good intent in the
premises. Their economic and finan-
cial conditions are steadily on the up
grade, 50 that with the lapse Of time
the situation both In Great Britain
and America may progressively i'm
prove in the direction of a debt read
justment equitable to all concerned.
In the meantime there is happily little
prospect that the affair will seriously
