The city council last evening heard
a communication from W. H. Smith
regarding a claim of $3.50 for sewer

nine P. NJ. in summer, and eight P. NJ

Mrs. HARRISON is reported to have
said recently: IF there is one thing
above another that | detest, and have
detested all my life, it is being made
a circus Of And that is what has
come to me in my old age, as it were.
I've been a show, the whole family's
been a show, ever since Mr.. Harrison
was elected. All last fall L sat in my
sewing room and watched the process
ion of feet pass across the parlor
floor, wearing their path into the nap,
and disappear like the trail of cara
van into the generals room beyond
Day by day 1 watched the path grow
wider and deeper, and at last the car
avan spread out and engulfed us all
But L don't propose to permit myself
to be made a circus of forever. Ii
there's any privacy to be found in the
White House, l propose to find and
preserve it."

AT the recent election in Paris $685.
697 electors were registered, but only
435,860 votes were cast. Although
Boulanger beat NJ. Jacques by $3.50
plurality, and even had a clear ma
iority of 81, ,432 over all opposition, he
still lacked 1929 votes of a bare ma
jority of all the registered voters.
There were about $4,000 Partisan
voters who did not care enough about
Boulangerism to go to the polls and
vote either for or against it.

The vast majority Of our most sue
cessful men are not polished scholars.
This tends to show what is too COM
monty forgotten in modern plans OF
education-that it Is far better to
have the mind well disciplined than
richly stored, strong rather than full
Good common sense, the power OF
adaptation to circumstances, the Sc.
cret of being alive to what is going
on around one, of knowing what the
people want, and of saying and doing
the right thing at the right time and
place, is the crown of faculties.

Women and the Ballot.

The women suffragists are met this year
as they were two years ago with big and
influential remonstrance from women who
oon't want TO vote, and don't want to very
much indeed. The legislature of two wears
ago seemed to be on the eve of granting the
suffragists's petition when the circumstances
arrived and quickly changed the face of the
matter. Very likely the experience of two
years ago will be repeated this winter. Men
are ready to acknowledge that the majority
Of women are as well qualified for the suf.
frage as the majority Of men, they will read
lily admit that most Of the arguments for
manhood suffrage are equally applicable tn
womanhood suffrage, and they stand ready
no doubt. to grant women the privilege Of
voting whenever IL becomes clear that tbara
is general demand for it on the part Of
women. But the majority OF them are not
ready to accept the doctrine of the ardent
advocates of female suffrage that the ballot
Is to be thrust upon women. That's very
much the way the PRESS feels. II
has nothing to say in opposi-
tlon to comforting the ballot on
women, but 1t does not think any emerpencv
has arisen. or is likely TO arise, to make Il
the duty Of the legislature to compel ALI wo-
men to vote, and that the suffragists them
selves admit will be the ultimate effect Of
comforting the ballot upon them. We can see
some very strong reasons why some women
should want to vote, land we can some equally
strong why other women should not want To
vote. Ii by allowing those who want to vote
to do so we compel those to vote who do not
want 10, then the latter will have Just as
good ground for complaint as the former
now have or think they have. 1t looks as

OF the two classes are pretty evenly balanced

devote themselves largely to the conversion
of women TO their views. There seems -
be great field for that kind Of effort
