| MORE ABOUT YALE SOCIETIES.
| Old graduates Of Yale who read in the
Courant that the faculty had forbidden
| the taking of new members to the So
! phomore societies smiled, 1t takes an
expert statstician to tell how often the
! sophomore societies at Yale have been
abolished by the faculty. The edicts,
| like the spots on the sun, come around
about once in so often. Meanwhile
events proceed about as before.
It is notorious that forbidding such
societies does not abolish them On
the contrary, it contributes the spice of
real mystery where previously the sham
article has had to suffice. After the
previous abolition at Yale the sopho-
more societies did business at New Ha-
ven under a bus1el but crawled out
from under and let their light shine on
occasions at Hartford The boys found
Hartford so attractive that, after the
ban had been removed, they continued
to come here 70 rtheir dances. But dur
ing the uncertain period when the So
cieties We're alleged to be forbidden, the
sons of members of the prohibiting fac
ulty used to join and their parents were
understood to reconcile themselves read
lily to the situation-so long as the boys
had saved their bacon.
1t Is very doubtful if interference by
the authorities can cure the difficulties
that the faculty. being older than the
students, see so much more clearly.
Abolition certainly will result only at
best in the suspension of fellows who
may be caught joining it; it will not
keep any one from becoming q mem
Der. The remedy lies with the BOYS
themselves, and they would apply it, if
they. were men, as they call themselves
and not boys as others see them to be,
The boys who have the good fortune
to belong to the senior societies could
remove the whole discredit that now
attaches to the sophomore societies The
present difficulty is that the sophomore
societies are filled with fellows selected
in early freshman year through pull"
clothes, or some ether accident and yet
these chance selections suffice to carry
all but an inconsderabe few of the
selected clear through the whole line Of
society life in the college.
The aim of all social ambitions at
Yale is the senior society. If the boys
in those would show some sand this
year and take half the new members
from the excellent material which has
been left out of the subordinate societies
by reason of lack of pull or through
fear of giving such fellows too good a
chance, then the chain Of succession ,
would be broken. The sophomore socie |
ty would suddenly shrink to the little
ness that its few merits justify, and
the talk of cliques, favoritism, and all
that, would be ended because there
would be nothing to base 1t upon.
In our opinion the boys are in much |
better position to wrestle with this |
problem than the faculty are. Whether |
they have sense enough to do it is
another matterHartford Courant,

NEW HAVEN SINGLE TAX CLUB.
Discussion on the Subject of Church
Taxation.

| Discussion on the Subject of Church
Taxation
| At the regular meeting of the New
Haven Single Tax club in room Is IN
surance building, the question of taxing
| church property was discussed. An ad-
dress was made by Mr.. Trueman, pres
ident of the club, who spoke In part as
follows
The question whether church property
should be taxed can be answered only
by answering another and far more fun
damental question, namely, Have all
men, irrespective of color, race or creed
a right to the use of the earth?
We single takers hold with Herbert
Spencer. John Ruskin, Emerson and
Jefferson, that all men have a right to
an equal share of the bounties of ma
ture freely given by God to all his chill
dren. Starting with this promise we de-
clare that when any man or company
of men monopolize any particular part
of these bounties they should render UNI
to the rest of the community the exact
value of the portion so withheld. Now
the most pronounced atheist has as
much right to the land under church
as the most self-satisfed church mem
Der, and for a church to withhold from
the rest of the people a valuable site
without any return being made for the
privilege, is for them to participate in
and perpetrate that gigantic system Of
robbery now carried on under the term
taxation, and which takes from every
workman earning $12 per week Is per
cent of his earnings, or about 81 every
week. To say that this is done In a
roundabout way is only to add insult
to injury To quote from Carlyle: The
widow is gathering nettles for her chill
dren's dinner; perfumed setgneur in
the Sel-de- Boeuf has an alchemy
whereby he will extract from her the
third nettle, and name it Rent and
Law, such an arrangement must end,
ought 1t not?"
We conclude, therefore, that church
buildings should be exempt from taxa
ton, but that church sites should be
taxed for their full value. Our reasons
for this are these; A tax on church
buildings would be tax on church wor-
ship, while to exempt church sites is to
favor those congregations securing the
most valuable locations. One of the
most encouraging signs of the times is
that the beneficiaries of our present I'M
just system and especially the churches
are making up to see the futiity and in
consistency of the attempt to preach
love and justice from the pulpit and
then endeavor to perpetrate a system of
injustice which is the basis of all the
misery they seek to eliminate.
1t may, by and bye, be perceived that |
equity utters dictates TO which we have
not yet listened, and men may then |
learn that to deprive others of their
rights to the use of the earth is to COM
nit crime inferior only in wickedness I
to the crime of taxing away their lives |
or personal liberties.

TROUBLE AT GRAND AVENUE
BRIDGE.
The Gates Do Not Work and Engineers
Will Make an Examination.

The Gates Do Not Work and Engineers
Will Make an Examination.
The Grand avenue drawbridge is
causing trouble again, and it is the
gates which are bothering. These have
been a constant source of trouble since
the bridge was built. Yesterday morn
ing Bridge Tender Lane reported to Di-
rector Troup that the gates would not
work at all and consequently the bridge
was closed and will, remain closed until
the gates are repaired. The director
and Mayor Driscoll held a conference
on the matter yesterday afternoon and
decided to have City Engineer Kelly
and Engineer Keith, who was the en-
gineer in charge of the construction of
the bridge, examine the gates and, if
possible, ascertain the difficulty
1t has been suggested that ii the
gates at this bridge were operated by
means Of a cable and that if they We're
operated by rod, they would work all
right.
Difficulty has been met with also in
the operation of the gates at the Chapel
street bridge, which has not yet been
accepted by the city. These gates are
operated by rod and the suggestion
has been made that if cable was used
the difficulty would be obviated. May
or Driscoll said last night that the two
engineers would examine the gates and
see whether or not they were Of any
use at all.
