THE ETERNAL WOMAN.

Nations differ in nothing more than
in their women.
You will never know what a woman
is unless you suffer very much.
Women do not love NapOleOns, they
love mere middle-class mediocrities.
Men who want to found empires do
not want the higher development of
woman.
You will I'm vain search history for a
great man who has not been Influenced
by a great woman.
The American woman lives for what
she calls "a good time. Her interest
is not man nor what is noblest i'm man

Why the Regents Paused.

The authoritative statement which
this paper printed yesterday of the
circumstances which have delayed
the acceptance of the FTeer collec-
ton sustains the position which was
taken in these columns Immediately
after the publication Of the PTesi-
dents letter TO Chief Justice Fuller.
1t was then suggested that the re-
gents of the Smithsonian might not
have had so clear an offer from Mr..
Freer as that outlined by the Presi-
dent. that the terms proposed 10
them might not have been 50 ad-
vantageous, that they might not
rate the collection so high. and that
they might not regard the project
as a justifable drain on the Smith
sonian treasury. Prof. Bell dispOses
of the third of those postulates in
his description of the collection as
wonderful" and his direct state
ment that "a committee of the
board did inspect Mr.. F'reer's collec-
tion and the public impression that
the collection was refused by the
board is incorrect"
Of the other difficulties not one
alone existed. but all three. The
regents did not have so clear an Of
fer; the terms proposed were not so
advantageous as those communicate
ed to the President; and the au-
thorities of the institution did not
regard the maintenance of a Freer
gallery as a matter of enough i'm
portance to warrant the jeopardiz-
ing of all the Smithsonian other
work.
What is needed now is not more
urging on the regents to accept the
gift and let the conditions be met
after Mr.. Freers death as best they
may be met The danger TO the
Smithsonian, with its extremely
limited funds, would make such a
course extremely unwise. The thing
to do is to adjust the conditions
imposed by Mr.. Freer. If that gen
tleman desires to present his col
lection to the nation, he must offer
it in such a form that the nation can
accept it-and as long as he insists
that the regents of the Smithsonian
must pledge themselves TO obtain
an allowance from succeeding Con
crosses to care for the collection
his gift is not in such a form that
the nation can accept it,
Washington wants this gallery anC
wants it badly. 1t might be made
the chief element in an exhibition
of Japanese and Chinese art of more
educational influence and more ar
interest than any other group OF
Oriental paintings and articles OF
virtu in the world. Even wheT
hedged about with conditions sc
that il cannot grow and can never
he classified with other collections
of the same or complementary char
aeter. it is still too valuable from
that point of view TO be let slip
And the Whistlers-several of then
of worldwide interest-give the gal
iery a separate interest which man!
will regard as greater and more i'm
portant than that in the Oriental OBJ
jects.

The Auto Railway Car.

The automobile railway car is one
of the new instruments of commerce
and travel which will bear watching.
1t is threatening the entire country
with the possibility of interurban
service, on schedules of from a few
minutes to an hour or two.
The railroad companies seem to
have been quick to realize the pos
which was invented by a Union Pa
cific mechanic 1t is simply big
street car, built to run on steam
railroads tracks, and equipped with
its own power 1t makes a very
high speed and in repeated and diff
ficult tests has proved that it is en-
power. and gasolene has been recog-
nized for years as the cheapest mo-
tive power known. provided methods
could be devised to apply it in eff
fectiye and practical fashion Ap-
parently the Hartman car repre-
sents this achievement. II can be
operated at an expense of IA cents
per mile for power, according TO care
full calculations.
These cars will not effect revo-
luton in traffic-eXcept suburban
traffic-in the densely populated re-
gions of the East because here the
travelling public requires trains at
short intervals But in other sec
tions. if they fulfill expectations.
they will simply revolutionize travel
over short distances.
Take the case of a division $50
miles long. on a Western road. At
present. perhaps TWO trains are run
each way daily for the accommoda-
tion of local traffic, with half dozen
cars to the train; total. twelve cars
in each direction, but only two
chances at each station 10 take the
/ train during the entire twenty-four
hours. The man who wants TO visit
a nearby town must adjust his busi-
Aess 10 the requirements of the
schedules: frequently he is compell-
ed to remain over night because
there is no train TO take him home.
The automobile car could divide
each of these trains into separate
cars. One car could be run each
hour during the day. Every village
could have service approximating
/ that which the street ears give cities.
4 To miss one car would be an Incl
| dent; the next would come along
| soon. The cars could make faster
time than local passenger trains
under present conditions. There
/ would be no annoying necessity for
/ expensive delays. People would be
! closer to their neighbors, trade would
be immensely facilitated, and every
/ benefit that follows on the establish
ment of improved means Of COM
| municatiOn would ensue.
The interurban trolley lines would.
of course, feel this competition keen
/ ly. The auto car would enable the
railroads to give the very service
/ which the tTo!leys have been alb
/ sOrbing. But if it should be that
trolley lines viii no longer be built
/ parallel TO railroad lines. they will
find ample field for usefulness where
they will not compete with the local
| traffic OF the railroads.
