SUFFRAGE PROGRESS ABROAD.
Americans by No Means in the Lead
i'm the Movement.

Mrs. Rachel Foster Avery is one
Of the ablest among the many bright
women who are laboring in the cause
of woman suffrage in this country.
She was for many years closely con-
nected with the late Susan B.. An
thony in her life work for the enfran-
chisement of women, and was n of
her trusted l~ieutenants.
Mrs. Avery has recently returned
from Europe, where she attended the
conference of the International Won
an Suffrage Alliance, held in Copen-
hagen last August.
In writing of some of the features
that impressed her most strongly al
the conference, Mrs. Avery say that
American women need to attend inst
such meetings as the n in Copen-
hagen to learn how much in advance
of them along political lines + the
women of Europe.
AS the organized movement for the
acknowledgements of women original
ed in this country we have come to
believe very generally that we are the
most advanced women in the world,
possibly with the exception of Aus
tralia and New Zealand. But we
must renounce that idea and frankly
acknowledge that we have much to
learn from the women of the older
world.
Twelve countries belong to the In
t~ernational Alliance, and in some oil
them=notably Holland and Sweden
their national women suffrage So
cieties as working bodies, considered
I'M proportion to the population OF
their respective nations, are far in
advance of our own associations.
The delegates and guests of the
confer ence were cordially welcomed
and entertained by the citizens OF
Copenhagen, being received at the
City Hall With addresses OF welcome
by members of the city council and
served with refreshments at the city's
expense.
''All sorts of conditions of men
and women We'd with each other in
offering the hospitality of Denmark,
and. social and public entertainments
were pressed upon them.

Staten Island May Be Annexed.

1t is suggested that Staten Island
Is not without a means of getting its
potable water from New Jersey. The
island can obtain that coveted boon
simply by seeding from New York
and annexing itself to New Jersey.
The plight of Staten Island in see
ing water, water everywhere in New
Jersey and not a drop for Staten Is
|landers to drink is a natural result
of unnatural conditions. Staten Is
land is. geographically q part of New
Jersey, and yet Il is politically a part
of New York.
Roots 1t not to go back over the
often-explained story of how Staten
Island was originally New Jersey and
bod il came to be a part of New York,
but that was what happened at a
time in the past.
The islanders were a gentle people
who didn't n much about the name
Of the state they lived in as long as
they didn't have to pay higher taxes.
There were confiding and complacent
ly yielding people in the rest Of the
state, who also didn't care much what
became of Staten Island. And SO il
was that the designing people in New
York buncoed New Jersey out OF
land. &
The islanders drank out of wells
and spring; and from the small run
ming streams in those primitive days.
they had no idea of ~aQueducts and
Impounding reservoirs and water
9ompanies, nor could they conceive
Of notable water for commercial pro-
fit. Had they had the prescience to
look forward to a time when their
beloved island would be a supplicarft
for water to a hard hearted legisla
tbre at Trenton and would be denied
he precious boon, how differently
Would they moi. have REGARDED the sew
erance of the islands ties with New

more in public schools their time

more in public schools their time
would not be wasted.
The day will come when higher
education for boys, at least, will not
mean a smattering of useless 'olo-
gies. If d boy is going TO learn a
trade, 1t should be possible for him
to select a school where he will learn
the rudiments of the trade, and so
much of the sciences as will aid him
in his work. A a should learn
enough of geology 10 know all about
the tensile strength and weathering
qualities of stone and the constitu-
ents and qualities of cements. A boy
who is going to be a carpenter should
learn enough of botany to know about
the various. qualities and classes OF
wood, and both should get architec-
tnre and architectural drawing, and
so on down the list of trades.
Boys who leave school now lack the
fundamentals, not to speak of the APP
piled science that would add to their
ability to earn their living; hence the
large number of jack-of-alltrades,
looking for work, not matter what,
and fetching up as flee boys, errand
Boys, and what not, when they might

thing to make them useful and give
them a start.
The idea underlying the night tech
nical schools is good as far as it goes,
but 1t would exercise a beneficial in
fiuence if each public school had a
class room where the pupils could
learn something of use. This would
not only benefit the boys, but it would
make this city 81 attractive that ev-
cry n would be able to see it grow.
Parents would be attracted from far
and near, because their children
would get a chance to learn some
thing of use. 1t would be a novelty
in school teaching, and the most pop
ular thing that could be done in this
or any other city. 1t would be es-
pecially good for Jersey City, because
1T would draw population from be-
yond the Hudson as nothing else
would.-Jersey City Journal.

The report OF Francis b. Lee,
which was published in full in yes

the New Jersey historical exhibit at
the jamestown exposition next year,
rs OF more than ordinary interest to
Perth Amboy. Mr.. Lee suggests that
The history OF the state be brought
out by maps, pictures and models,
Rather than by long, uninteresting
docuiments containing the cold facts.
This Is SO that people can grasp the
whole idea att glance as they pass
Through the building. The idea is an
excellent one and win doubtless be
carried out.
Perth Amboy, however, should see
that she is represented in this exhibit.
For instance, in showing the pictures
of historical buildings in the state the
old Westminster should be shown.

Features of the exhibit would MOI be

that Benjamin Franklin bid farewell
TO his son. the governor of the prov
ince, and 1t was here that Governor
\ Franklin was arrested. Also, the
building was a favorite with the Brit
ish every time they came to Jersey
and their generals always occupied
the house. BY all means, the West
minister should be shown among the
historic buildings of The state.

Lee. will be hia1lly instructive, not

L I'M government believes II can manage our alroa peter
than we can and it wishes to operate them, have NO Oh
LECTION to selling the properties. Iwonld sell to the gov
-~ eminent as willingly as to an individual or company were the
lines to be disposed Of, although ours are good properties and
are not on the market. This is how 1 feel AS A RAILROAD
MAN in regard to the public ownership of carriers.
But AS A PRIVATE CITIZEN [ am opposed to the public
ownership suggestion. The government could not manage the proper
ties successfully. Private capital or enterprise is BETTER EQUIP
PED THAN THE GOVERNMENT for directing railroads and
would realize successful results against failures on the part of the gov
eminent.
There seems to be an impression that the government would be
superior to private enterprise, which impression is apparently founded
on experience in Europe. Public ownership or governmental owner
ship, as it is more properly called in countries having a different polit-
ical organization, is NOT THE SUCCESS IN EUROPE that
by some Americans it is believed to be. In fact, government owner
ship is FAILURE in Europe
Italy, for example, would gladly surrender its proprietary interests
and it's public obligations, and it is even now taking steps to turn the
states lines over to private companies. Governmental ownership and
management of the telegraph lines Of Great Britain is an expensive
experiment for the administration.
THE HuRDEn OF THE COMPARATIVE FAILURE OF THIS FORM
or GOVERNMENTAL ENTERPRISE RESTS ON THE TAXPAYERS OF
ENGLAND. N7 @3
The chief reason that state ownership of railroads prevails in Eu-
rope. is the necessity or desire to provide ample PRECAUTIONS
AGAINST THE POSSIBILITY OF WAR. Europe is virtually
armed at all times, and it is for the purpose Of being able to control the
arteries of travel in the event of hostiliies that governmental owner
ship of railroads is. the general policy. FROM OTHER STAND.
POINTS governmental ownership Of carriers is not a success. }&1 !

The Best Thing That Could he Done
4 for the City.
A correspondent writes to complain
of he quantity of study required by
"a girl of twelve in the public schools,
and says That the family's evenings
Dare spoiled by the efforts of THAT
lchild to learn lessons which frequent
Ely require four or five hours after
school. He says that most OF the ef-
fort is wasted.
This is a natural complaint, and
1T runs against most Of the elemen-
tary education now provided in the
schools. Any group of average bust
mess mon could prescribe a course OF
that would embrace only es-
lsentials. A boy or girl should be
taught to use figures, to read and
write correctly and enough of geog-
lraphy to know that Kalamazoo is
not in Timbuctoo. Spelling and gram
mar are essentials up to the ability
to use them. These things should be
taught thoroughly in all elementary
schools, because these are basic stu
dies. II children learned nothing

reach of the ordinary householder.
The story of the salmon is worth
reading.
Perhaps the most interesting of
Pacific coast industries is the salmon
canning in Alaska and along the Col
umbia river. The person who buys a
can of salmon has little idea of how
the fish is prepared, the thousands
of miles it has been shipped, and the
immense amount that is caught year
ly and either dried, salted, smoked,
or canned and shipped to all parts of
the world. One who has visited the
%canneries always glances at the label
on the can, and the location of the
factory indicates at once the cold
waters, rough or peaceful, the large
seines, the factories, the cutting, the
packing, canning and other processes
that go to transform a king of fresh
water fish into small delicate bits
that once tasted are always liked

SCHEDULES Versus SPEED
p F.senssrl Trafne r1anassr HANSON d the Imlnoi.tcensr4a KaIro.d

By PASSENGER Trnnc r1snasr HANSON OF the minorcenya Rahroad
AM OF the opinion that what the public reishes MORE
THAN FAST TIME is trains being on time. Adherence to
schedules IS a thing to be aimed at. American strenuosity has
influenced the railroads to reduce the running time of trains
to- point that n many instances is inconsistent with conservative and
CAREFUL MANAGEMENT. "A train keyed to its best has no
chance to make up time lost on account Of delays incident to a trip of
even a couple OF hundred miles; consequently time lost is seldom
regained. During the past few years there has been a feeling on the
FINE CARDS, even if they cannot adhere to them. If a road is not
IN physical condition to make forty miles an hour it would be more to
Its advantage to make thirtysive miles a hour, as it finally becomes
known that such a road is ATTEMPTING THE IMPOSSIBLE,
and the public acts accordingly.
The average passenger would prefer to use a train. of ordinary
speed with the assurance that it will arrive at its destination ON
TIME.
THE "FLIER" NAY LOOK NICE ON A coLoRED FOLDER, BUT
WHEN THE PASSENGER COMES TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE

NOT SUFFICIENT. Conservative people of the country should
wake up to the fact that the church can be made a powerful factor to
bring about this needed reform.
Under the administration of Lincoln there was more fabity to
public trust than we have ever had since. One of the good signs of
the times is that we are coming to hold men to PERSONAL RE
SPONSIBILITY In this regard the interests of the church and the

Bath Tub EnameI From I,,ke ma

Within the past four years there
has been established on the Califor-
MIA desert, at the little border town
OF Daggett, to BE exact, IN industry
new to the state, and new, indeed, 10
the entire west. AS a matter of fact,
says The Technical World Magazine,
the method and machinery OF the
plant are new to the industry wher-
ever carried ON. 1t is Che making OF
a durable enamel from the age-hard-
ened mud of the beds of desert lakes,
long since dried out and in some
cases covered with many feet of silt
and detritus. The enamel so made
is used all over the world; nearly All
of the bathtubs used in Enrope and
america are coated WITH the enamel
made at this particular place In the
desert.
