MONDAY, JUNE %, 1903.
NEEDS A VACATION,

We think it about time for Gov
ernor Dole to take his annual vaca-
tion. This is said in all kindness.
Our valuation on the work OF Mr.
Dole is something like Gladstone's
"profound admiration" but the
best of men cannot stand too much.
Everybody must havs a res, partic-
ularly in climate like ourr, and
there is nothing like the climate at
Eben Lows ranch on Hawaii to
revivify the depleted faculties.

BAVARIAN WOMEN VOTE.
All Owners OF Property Have the
Privilege and Exercise 1t
By Proxy.

Women who own taxable property
are permitted to vote at municipal
elections in Munich, the capital Of Ba-
varia, but they have never gone in per-
son to the polls, sending instead male
proxies. At a recent election, however,
one courageous woman. who, by the
way. is president Of a large philanthropy
ic association Of women, appeared in
person to cast her vote. She pleaded
that 1t was not any more difficult to
cast ballot than to instruct some man
how to do 1t. while the only way to be
sure that the right ballot was used was
to cast It herself. Her action caused
something Of sensation, but she was
not denied the privilege she asked for.
When 1t is remembered that until re-
Gently women In Germany were not al
lowed to attend political meetings. or
to ally themselves with political par
ties, and that these laws are still in ef-
feet In many parts Of the empire. this
action OF woman voter, which passed
without protest from the men, indicates
q growing sentiment in favor of i'm
proved conditions for women. The lib
eral party and the social democrats all
over Germany, wherever the laws are
NOT unfayorable, are melting women to
JOIN them. In Hamburg about 1 100
women belong to the social democratic
cluDs, and are even represented on their
boards Of directors.

ABOLITION OF N1DDLF-AGE.
and Marched AlonSside
Of Youth.

Half century ago man of IS was
Regarded almost elderly and woman
of the same age was expected to have
long since cut herself adrift from all
ties binding her to her youth and to
assume the appearance and deport-
ment Of staid, exemplary matron.
ALL this has changed in particularly
interesting way, of which the promi-
nent features is seeming contradic-
ton, says the Spectator. If the three
year-old child of to-day is as knowing
as was the six-year-old child of half
century ago, and the ten-year-old
boy OF to-day is in many respects quite
az much man as was his grandfather
at 10, one might naturally expect that
in due graduation the modern middle
aged man should be old beyond his
years. But such is not the case.
Middle age, SO far from hurrying on
into senility, SO far even from stand
ing still, would seem actually 20 have
stepped backward and marched along
side OF youth. There is jauntiness, q
buoyancy, an elasticity about the mid
die age of to-day at which our fathers
would have shaken their heads as un-
seemly. The gulf which once sepa-
rated the middle-aged parent from his
children has been filed up. The cur
tain which shrouded the middle-aeed
man generally from the eyes of youth
and which caused him to be regarded |
with respect. if not in awe. has been
lifted, and in obedience to the same
influences which have made the
schoolmaster the friend of the school
boy and the regimental officer almost
the comrade of his men, the middle
aged man of to-day is never so happy
as when working with or playing upon
an equality with, and actually in COM
petition with, youth.
AS with men SO it is with women.
Social statisticians tell US that the
age at which women are considered
most eligible for marriage has been
very notably advanced of late years,
and we know that the lament of many
matchmaking mamma is that the
most dreaded rivals of her darling are
not to be found so much among the
girls of her own age as among women
who not many years ago would have
been relegated to the ranks Of hopeless
DID maidenhood. The fact that the
lady of to-day is much
younger in manner and tastes is, Of
course. not the only reason for this,
put It is among the most potent.

truly ideal. The crowds never penetrate
the forests, they follow only the beaten
tracks Of the railroad or steamer, and
from these the nature-loving sportsman
easily escapes. He pushes his way
through the timber and finds countless
small lakes well stocked with gamey
fish. He goes from one to another
through winding channels, finding bass
in one, muskalonge in another, pike in a
third. So numerous are the lakes that,
though there may be hundreds of sports
men within dozen miles of him, he
may see no other than his own com.
panions. At night he pitches his tent
beneath the trees, cooks his meals over
an open fire and sleeps on bed Of pine
boughs.

when the bullfinch, as sometimes hap

the tune where the bullfinch had
stopped, and finish it. This happened

RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.
Rome Facts Which Will he Of Interest
tn People Who Do Much
TRAVELLING.

There are two main reasons for rail.
way wrecks in the United States; the
large number of lines which have only
single tracks, and the great respon-
sibiity that is thrown upon one man.
In England more than five times as
great a part OF the railroad lines are
Idouble-tracked as in the United
Estates. In our vast, half-settled states
the companies have not enough bust
ness to justify the building of double
tracks, says Youths Companion.
The error of one-man responsibility
| must also be laid to the desire for econ
omy. It is not the American way to
have two men to one task; rather is
there tendency to put two tasks up
/ on one man. Yet human experience,
land more specifically the experience
of railroad men, shows that there are
moments in the day of every man
when his mind lapses for an instant.
In that instant the engineer may fail
to note a signal while his helper, the
fireman, is back shoveling coal. One
American newspaper suggests that
there should be two engineers. The
railroads recognize in way that even
a good man is not infallible by limit
ing the working time of an engineer
to few hours day. sometimes asfew
as four hours. But even that allow
ance for the effect Of constant ten
sion does not provide for the ever
lasting chance Of human failure so
well as would a second engineer. who
should be in the cab all the time.
In the inquiry into the terrible wreck
at Westfield, N. j., this year, it was
shown that green signal, which
means Ego SLOW" had been set. Just
for the fatal second when the engine
few by this signal the engineer was
trying to adjust defective injector
valve. A second engineer would have
prevented the disaster.
The problem of preventing wrecks
is one for the railroads and for the law
TO solve. There are, however, some
useful suggestion which the Individual
may paste inside his travelling hat to
protect himself in case of disaster.
A study Of wrecks shows, that the
ightest car is the most dangerous.
suppose a train is made up of one
1eavys, baggage car, one smoker and
one Pullman sleeper. Whether the
collision be head-on or at the rear,
he light smoking car between the two
leavy ones is sure to suffer. The
principle holds. Mo matter in what or
Ter the cars are arranged. Set paste

If a baggage car is heavily laden, or
it is built with a steel floor, it will

THE RUSSIAN SPRING.
Breaking Up of the Ice In Rivers wei.
coined with Rejoicing By
the People.

To write about a Russian spring IL to
run the risk of making some of the abo-
riginal Inhabitants turn in their graves
with establishment, says the London
Globe. For In former times 1t was reck-
oned In that country that there were
! only three seasons-summer, autumn
and winter. Nevertheless, squeezed in
between the last of these and the month
Of May there is q period which, for want
of better name, may be designated
spring. It il not, however, very easy,
even for an experienced observer of ma
ture, to say when it begins and when It
ends. For first there is much snow,
bitter wind and glorious sunshine. till
finally only few fragments of winters
mantle lie here and there half hidden IN
hollows that face to the north. On the
banks of the Neva the citizens OF st.
Petersburg gather annually to watch
the breaking up of the ice. but on tho
great rivers that dow southwark it often
happens that this process is accompa-
MED by nothing noteworthy; channel
forms up the middle Of the stream and
the Ice floats Down 1t with more or less
hindrance toward the sea. The rock,
the lark, the swallow return, and, ac-
cording to q Russian saying. bring back
the heat: willows display their silken
buds: the sportsman comes with his
gun to visit the wild duck among the
reeds. and high aloft hundreds Of geese
may be deserted winging their way to
the lonely tundra.
Perhaps it is for the change produced
by the melting Of the snow and the |
breaking up Of the ice that Easter is |
celebrated with such transport by the
Russian people. There is q fullness Of |
pleasure that it is not difficult to under
stand in seeing once again after so many
months the flowing river, the green
plain. the forests Of birch or pine strip
ped Of their robe of snow On the first
Of May the inhabitants of Moscow go
to the woods and bring back from them
shoots Of the fresh green. like the dove
released from the ark after the deluge.
Even the discarding Of furs seems to
suggest a new era of untrammeled free
dom and activity. But goloshes must be
worn to the bitter end, for the amount of
mud is extraordinary. Though the
snow may have vanished. though it may
lot have rained for weeks, though the
'un shines magnificent day after day in
! cloudless heaven, the mud continues to
1t oozes, Of course, from the
earth. and renders roads i'm
to carriages for a time that
