MORE DAYLIGHT IN CANADA.

Something like realization Of Mr.
Wflett's more daylight scheme has
been achieved by the citizens OF Fort
William and Port Arthur, twin Cana
dian towns on the western shore Of
Lake Superior. For purposes Of time,
Canada is divided into five sections.
each section having n time one hour in
advance Of its western or one hour be
hind its eastern leighbOr. These two
towns have hitherto formed the eN-
IRENE eastern limit Of the section
known as central" but in response
TO a largely signed petition the city
councils have agreed 10 become the ex-
treme western limit Of the eastern
section. This means that the inhabi-
tants will riSe-assuming that they CON
tinue to rise at the same hour OF the
clOck-one hour nearer dawn. They will
also finish their tasks one hour further
away from the sunset. and thus obtain
an extra hour OF daylight leisure The
change went into effect on May !, and
Will hold until December 8.

A Word for Mr.. Morgan.

Honorary degrees. according TO
present customs, are certificates 10
the healthfulness and power of the
recipients influence as well as TO
the notabiIity of their achievements.
" that standard Mr.. John Pierpont
Morgan is more worthy of Iale's de
gree of Ii. D. than many men less
frequently assailed. OF his eminerce
there can be no question; and
thoughtful men who survey the
whole field of his life will not doubt
the healthfulness and power of his
influence.
Two grounds were advanced by
the university:
A direct descendant of the Rev. James
Pie -Oont. the most prominent Of the
fo,,.ders Of Yale. The degree is award
ed with special reference to M Nor
gans public service TO the nation IN
mitigating the panic Of last fall
For his descent Mr.. Morgan can
claim no credit, though he find ever
so much satisfaction in it. But for
his courage and resolution in quiet
ing the uproar of last fall he can
claim credit, and should.
The charge 5 made that the trans
action proved profitable. What Il it
did? Suppose the nation had paid
Robert Morris for his advances
to the Revolutionary army and the
Philadelphia patriot had made a
profit; would that have made his
record any less bright? No more.
in the instance of last years panic,
did the possibility of a final gain
lessen the financial risk involved in
Mr.. Morgan's aid to a wild market
or bring to his side any bankers
save a few who were willing, like
him, TO run a great risk for the wei
fare of the whole people.
But providing ready money was
not the sum Of Mr.. Morgan's service
in that crisis. 4 greater thing con
sisted of assuming command of in
terests ordinarily opposed, compet
tors in business not only unaccus
toned TO cooperating, but on The
contrary, disposed in every such
situation to act with general indie
pendence, and obtaining from then
an effective alliance which unques
tionably averted months of fnan
ciaI insecurity. That was real lead
ership, and it came at time wher
it had an extreme value. For ii

.PUGSLEY NEW STAR
Of THE DEMOCRATS
Big Man, Says Leagues
Pamphlet, and Should Be
Vice President.

IN the political pot there is a new
sizzIe, and ia the armament OF aspira-
lions a new star is galloping up and
down the sky.
The new star is the Hon. Cornelius
Amory Pugsley,' Of Peekskih. n. y
and he Is a banker Of great ability.
These and other facts are set forth
regarding J'ugsley in a pamphlet which
has been sent out by the Cornelius
Amory PugsIey League" The pamphlet
is boosting Pugsley Tor the Vice Presi-
dental nomination at Denver, and
twelve good reasons are gi-en why he
should be Vice President.
Each OF these reasons. although In dill
ferent language, resolves itself down
to-
-.Pugsiey is wonder"
According 10 these announcements Of
the league. Pugsley was a member OF
the Fifty-sevcnth Congress. The league.
however. does not hold this against him.
IL rather considers the fact one llstJ
brings credit 10 the great man, prln-

THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE Is. 1903
Woman Supervisors.

Two women teachers have been
made supervising principals in the
District school system. This action
of the Board of Education is sig
nifcaut of three things:
OF unusual confidence in the exec
utive ability of the two women Sc
lected.
OF faithful service and demon
strated personal authority on the
part of those women.
Of independence on the part of
the superintendent and the mem
bers of the board in recognizing and
rewarding merit without regard for
the convention that supervision can
be well done only by men
The circumvention of wOman's
ability on the theory that she is a
good subordinate but a weak man
ager is proven unjust every day in
-he year. In Chicago, Miss Adams
has demonstrated not only a power
TO ulIGCls Dub lAAdL pONCA 'AlANAA -
rarer still, among men as well as
women, to conceive a great plan and
execute il. Vassar, Smith, Welles-
ley, and Bryn Mawr have all found
women competent to administer
their varied and multitudinOus de-
tails. Philadelphia's organized
charities are directed by woman.
Illinois and New Jersey have more
than one woman county school SUI
perintendeut. Here in Washington
we have had one woman high school
superintendent. who has unques-
tionably indicated no lack of per
sonaI authority.
These two latest appointments
have also the merit of being dis
tinctly in accord with the spirit OF
the civil service. They have been
earned. Had men been selected I'M
der such circumstances, the ap,
pointments would have heartened
every other teacher of the corps
But here the effect viii be equally
widespread and more pronounced
for the promotion of these two wo-
men gives new impetus to all their
sister pedagogues of our District
staff.

British cooperative associations.
There are 1900 delegates repre-

estimated that the 100000 mem
bers of these mutual-benefit socie-
ties and their families include al
together about 1O,oOOO00 men, wo-
men, and children, or almost a quar-
ter of the entire population of the
British Isles. The sales made by
the different ASSOCIATIONS total in
the neighborhood of a billion dol.
lars a year. and the 10 per cent
profits are devoted to various i'm
provements, social, moral, and intel

The principal problem confronting

or not il would be best to unity
