The scenes at the polls now are beau

As yet no great moral question has
come up for settlement in Idaho since
women have been given the ballot,
but when one does come up that af-

society no one there doubts that the
votes of the women will be cast very
largely for the right.
While woman suffrage has not yet
exactly ushered in the millennium in
our State. nor, for that matter has
man suffrage in other States made
paradise of this earth. it has beyond
question fully justified its advocates
and is of vast benefit to the intellec

of the people in general, and OF
women in particular.
On the whole it is great success.

TALKING.

The head men of the country have had their attention called to the fact that there is big coal strike and a big scarcity of coal, and they are talk ing about the situation. So far their talk seems to have only brought out the fact that the situation does not present case in which there can be Federal interference by any warrant of law. There has been no interference with Federal authority in the mining region either by stoppage of the mails or re- sistance of the United States court pro- cess. Governor Stone has not called on the government for assistance, and it does not appear that the government can interfere through the appointment of receivers.
 Discouraging, and exasperating, isn't it? No coal anywhere, and no power to interfere anywhere. But the situa- tion isn't quite as bad as it seems. The government is going to talk some more, even if it doesn't act. and there are indications that those who have the power to settle the strike are talking. Meanwhile patience is ceasing to be virtue, and the New York bakers are talking about raising the price of bread on account of the price of coal.

GERMAST,s 1MPUEsIrE EuPEROl

GERMASF'S JMPULsIHE EMPEROR
 The German emperor seems to be the boss of his land, but he isn't the easy boss. The Deutsche Zeitung of Vienna prints very interesting article con- cerning the widespread discontent with the existing state of affairs which pre- vails in Germany. The writer says that the empefor is of an impuIsive na- ture, and does not invariably see things at first in their true light. It is ques- tionable, therefore. whether every in- perlal utterance ought to be regarded as an act of state. No doubt the em- peror would like to express his views occasionally in private capacity, but this, now, he cannot do. It would be good thing if there were some way of knowing what are the private opinions of the emperor, and what the opinions for which his ministers are really re- sponsible. The writer then proceeds to point out that, when the emperor is repeatedly convicted of making mis- takes, it does not contribute to promote his prestige. It only too easily leads to mistrust of his methods of government. But an open and honest war against the erroneous views of the sovereign TunII11 Ia 4a &t,o, ss tom in Germany of arbitrarily inter- preting his utterances and with yelled insinuations attacking the emperor un- der cover of the Chancellor '' Next he suggests remedy, which is simply the display of a little backbone by the ministers. Tt is well known that the emperor is an energetic man. but it is not true that he cannot tolerate con- tradiction. Contradiction, however, must be well founded. If every minis ter declared that he could only be re- sponsible for such utterances of the emperor as he had previously agreed to, and if each of them, invoking the German and Prussian constitutions, placed his portfolio at the disposal of the sovereign as soon as he was called upon to take the responsibility for a statement of which he had no previous knowledge, everything would soon be in the best of order.''
 This may be good advice for Ger many, but the German ministers are not likely to accept it and act on it.

THE OANTEEN SYSrEM.

General Funston's earnest defense of
 the canteen system is followed by the
 statement that Secretary Root will earnestly recommend to congress in his forthcoming annual report that the law
 prohibiting the sale of intoxicating bev- erages on military reservations be re- pealed and that the canteen system be once more established. It is said that information received at the War de- partment from general officers and from
 posts all over the United States and in the Philippine Islands, with few excep-
 tions bears out the predictions which were made that the abolition of the canteen would be followed by an in- crease of drunkenness among the en- listed men, by an increase in the num- Der of trials by court martial, and by
 an increase in the number of assertions. With the exception of Lieutenant Gen. era1 Miles and a few subordinate off, cers the opinion in the army is univer-
 sal that it is better to allow the enlisted men to have the privilege of drinking beer and light wines in moderation within the limits of the army posts than to allow them to resort to the low sa- looms and dives outside the posts where
 they would be under no restraint and
 where the saloonkeepers would supply them with liquor as long as they had
 money to buy,
 The Woman's Christian Temperance
 Union did not agree with the official view of the canteen question and waged war upon it with the aid of a num-
 erous lobby in Washington, and finally secured the passage of a law abolishing it. It is claimed at the War depart ment that the results have been exactly such as were anticipated; that the can- teen has been succeeded by low dives
 just outside the army posts where the military authorities have not authority over them, and into which soldiers are lured by unprincipled men and dissoIute women with the result that they are
 usually kept there until their last cent
 is gone. It will be interesting to watch
 the developments of the controversy. It is not likely that the W. c. T. U. will give up without struggle.

ding finery and then refused to go with her to the preacher. The jury got at its verdict in just twenty minutes. But now an application for a new trial has been made. It is alleged that the jury arrived at the sum allowed as damages by each juror giving his personal idea of what the damages ought to be. after which the sums were added together and divided by twelve. The Supreme court of Kansas has held that this kind of verdict will not stand; that it is a way of arriving at a conclusion which fails to express the honest conviction of single juror.

4>WINST6D MANS IDEA.

School Visitor James P. Shelley, of Winsted, in this State, has made lit- tie stir by recommending to the Board of School Visitors free clothing for in-
 digent pupils. This is the way he puts it: The standard of dress ill some of
 the departments should be advanced by requiring all the children to be neatly
 dressed. Most of the scholars are in
 such condition. Some of them are not sufficiently provided with suitable gar ments. To remedy the evil the select
 men, on information from the teachers, should quietly and unknown to the oth- CT pupils buy the required apparel at the towns expense, The plan would no doubt be gratifying to all.
 This plan might be gratifying to all in Winsted, though we doubt 1t, but the
 man who should propose 1t in other places, New Haven for instance, wouldn't find that all would be grati- fled by it. Of course something can be said in it's favor. Free text books are given, and it may be asked why free clothes shouldn't be given to those who need better clothes than they have. But
 We would respectfully inquire how such
 a plan could be carried out unless all the children, irrespective of need, were supplied with neat but not gaudy uni-
 form to go to school in, and we would
 respectfully inquire how the fathers
 and mothers of many children would like that?
