men who buy and sell imaginary streetcar lines
be baked by real roller skates? VIII they not
merge the leather industry, the skate factories
and the paving companies so as to secure the
greatest possible profits in return for the poorest
possible roller skating? Will they not pour
sticky oil into skate bearings to prevent the
public from attaining reasonable speed? Will
they not jam travellers together as of yOre
by combining them to a narrow strip of pave
ment? Having followed the recent proceedings
Of the Public Service Commission, we suspect
that traction artists consummate enough to
juggle even with the lines of Euclid In such
way as to prevent geOmetrical points from NOV
ing freely along them. And if imaginary lines
whether in Wall and Cortlandt streets or in
Euclid) can be thus controlled to private profit
and public worry, how idle are all hopes OF the
saving power of roller skates.

ANOTHER LOST CAUSEp

Another panacea for all human Ills has been
tossed impatiently into the ash barrel. Another
theory put into practice has according TO one
who should be an excellent authority, failed to
Justify the hopes and confidence of its advo-
Gates Like 50 many Of its heralded epoch
making predecessors this idea, when put to the
test, has failed TO give evidence of any super
natural powers. That millennium which fc-
male sufragists predicted would arrive stimuli
taneously with the acknowledgements Of women
will according to one of the most active work
ers for woman suffrage in the past continue
to be thing of the distant future even when
full citizenship is bestowed upon what some
have been pleased to refer to the subject
sex and the ballot is placed in the hands Of
those members of it who can grasp the boon
without dropping skirts, pocietbooks or pack
ages.
Miss Phoebe Couzns, after spending many
arduous years in what she imagined to be the
service of her sex, seems now to feel about it
very much as Colonel Watterson does about
that former affinity of his, the Democratic
party and. like the Colonel, from now hence
forth she has no part in It, Disheartened by
the failure which she believes women have
made of the voting privilege where it has been
accorded TO them. she says: Woman suffrage
lis Enthusiastically n failure. have worked for
"the cause for years have observed the effect
"of enfranchising women, and | know that, In
stead of bringing to public life that moral up
lift which was expected Of them they have
even added to the decentralization in states
where they have been given the ballot" And
when she answers her own inquiry, Does the
participation of women raise the moral tone
of politics." with n decided Mo- she denies
about all the allegations that have been made
by the sufrragettes in favor Of the ballot
Probably there will he chorus of indignant
denials from various quarters of the truth of
Miss Couzinss statements, and we shall soon
learn that after all. she never amounted TO
very much and didn't have the real interests of
the cause ut heart any way; but inasmuch as
women. like men. seem to have been on every
side of every cause. good or bad. since Adam
was a boy. it is possible that mere man will
have to experience a change of heart before

IDLE HOPES.

What New Workers. heart did not begin to
seethe violently with hot hopes when the news
came in from Washington the other day that the
citizens of that fair town had found a form OF
transportation rendering for evermore impos-
sibIe the tyranny of streetcar companies? As
we read the brilliant suggestion Of high post
Office dignitary that Westinghouse go to and
from their daily toll and pleasures roller
skates we shared for brief interval the joyous
expectations of our fellow townsmen who saw
in the application Of this scheme to poor old
New York the end of all its transit woes. The
elevated roads and the surface lines swept away
II subways maintained for the lame the halt
and the blind. and robust population moving
about on eight tiny individual wheels driven bv

luling TO a state Of imaginary happiness.
Upon calm reflection, however. this escape from
the grasp of the traction companies proves ilu-
sorry In order 10 rOer-skate one must have
