The married woman must 60. The

The married woman must go. The
Association For the Preservation Of
the Rights Of Unmarried Young Wo-
men, Boston organization, has so de-
clared. 1t is the avowed purpose Of
this association to drive married wo-
men out Of the stores, offices, factories,
restaurants and indeed all other places
of employment in order to give the un-
married women the places. The plea
is that married women have husbands
to support them, and whenever they
go to work for salaries or wages they
deprive women who have no such sup
port OF the means Of livelihood. But
there are perhaps two sides to the
question. What about the married wo-
man who has a husband whom she
must support? What is the poor man
to do in case his wife loses her job?

The city of Mannheim, in the grand
duchy of Baden, is about to establish a
new system Of electric railways on the
municipal ownership plan. The dis
patch conveying the foregoing informa-
ton says: 1.-THE municipal council has
appointed as director Of the system
Otto Lowitt, who at present holds the
same position in the city Of Basel,
Switzerland" The city of Mannheim,
in other words, when in need Of expert
service does not hesitate to go not only
to another city, but to the city Of an
other country, in order to get the man
best qualified to make a success Of the
undertaking in hand. In American
cities there is general disposition to
act on the theory that every Office
holder should come from the ranks Of
the voters Of the municipality. 1t is
doubtless wise, all things being equal,
to give preference to resident appli-
cants in various branches of municipal
work, but the custom ought not to de-
bar city officials from securing the best
expert ability wherever it is to be had
| In carrying administrative efficiency
to the highest degree of excellence we
may perhaps get something of value
from the example Of European cities.

In an address in Edinburgh the, 9th
er day ambassador Choate said Of the
great Sir Walter that ''his humanity
was godliness," and he added the good
book tells us that next to goodness is
cleanliness" Hardly. The honor Of
the saying lies between Bacon and
John Wesley, or, rather, is shared by
both. But the statement of fact re-
mains, all the same, even If Mr.. Choate
did put more in the Bible than the can
onists themselves put there. ~.

Indiana was pluming herself upon
the supposed fact that she had the
youngest United States senator, but it
now transpires that Butler, the North
Carolina Populist, is a year younger
than Beveridge. But there are other
young members Of the upper branch Of
congress, for Penrose Of Pennsylvania
and McLaurin Of South Carolina are
but two years older than the Junior
senator from Indiana. 3+"<s s'-,roAz::. s.

Sometimes political rivals, it seems,
can be courteous in victory and good
tempered in defeat. At least it is pos,
sible for them to be so in Boston, for
we read that as soon as General Pat
rick A. Collins learned the result of the
recent mayoralty contest in that city
he wrote to Thomas N. Hart, the sue
cessful candidates: accept my cordial
congratulations on your election. May
your administration rebound to the
credit of our good city and to your own
reputation" To this Mr.. Hart replied:
II thank you for your kind and vel
come letter. I join with you and all
good people in the hope that the gov
eminent Of Boston may be honorable
and creditable." The campaign had
been a hot one, but this was certainly
a most pleasing way in which to end it.

The Newspaper Habit.

The circulation OF books in a certain
Connecticut library fell of over 1000
last year, and the librarian said It was
because popular interest in current
events was SO great that newspapers
were read rather than books" This
tendency on the part of the reading
public generally, which is referred to
as the newspaper habit" Is deplored
In certain quarters. But why should it
be? II the American people are perus-
ing fewer novels and other books be-.
cause they are busy following the STIR
ring events and fresh made history of
the present, it is a fact for congratula
ton rather than regret. 1t is a health
full sign that the reading public tends
more and more to keep in close touch
with public events. s. M s#*"..
The bane of the old style of educa-
ton was that it kept it's students delv-
ing in the musty past while they re-
manned ignorant Of the history that
was making before their eyes. There

The newspaper habit is as necessary
for good and intelligent citizenship as
the "eating habit is for good health.
In both cases the only things to avoid
are slothful consumption and gluttony
with consequent indigestion. The only
vicious newspaper habit" is the habi,
of dawdling over a paper with a lazy
and indiscriminating mind. Such E
habit is injurious and wasteful Of time
but it is more likely to be contracted il

q It Is now reasonably certain that the
last year Of tia century will see the
political birth Of another new Anglo
Saxon nation in the Pacific. After an
agitation which has gone on for the
last eight years with various fortunes,
but on the whole with steadily increas-
ing Intensity. the party of union has
finally triumphed in four out of the /
six colonies occupying the island conti-
nent Of Australia and its adjacent is
land of Tasmania. AS yet, it Is true,
the two large colonies Of Queensland
and West Australia, which occupy the
extreme ends Of the great island. have
not given in their adhesion to the new
arrangement, but this will not delay
the completion of the federation, to
which, will be given legal recognition
as soon as the imperial parliament
meets in it's next session at Westmin-
ster. - .'.sy&a~ p. s51 Es sg
1t is rather more than probable that
before the act can be passed the people
Of Queensland will have decided. by
referendum vote, that they also will
join as partners in the new Australian
commonwealth, and it is possible,
Though ut present less probable. that
West Australia will do likewise. In
any case it can hardly be more than a
question of a few years until both
these colonies take advantage Of the
provision made in the commonwealth
act for their subsequent inclusion.
In the birth Of this new common
wealth there will be none of the ira

There WILL" says Hugh H. Lusk in
The Forum, "be no severance Of the
ties that bind Australia to Great Brit.

the establishment of the Pacific com
