Knocks Boy Unconscious.

Dedham, Dec. 13.-While Walter E.
Morton, 7-year-old lad, was coasting
near his home on Washington street
this afternoon he was struck by an au-
tomobife and rendered unconscious. The
autoists at the time were trying to pre-
vent a collision with Charles Griggs,
another coaster, who was passing the
machine on the other side at the time,
and so they did not see Morton, and
know nothing of the accident until an
hour later, when they were held up by

it.
The machine, driven by Charles F.

In the report'of the popular rejoicing
over the opening of the Turkish Parlia-
ment we read that on the route of the
Sultans journey to Stamboul ''all the
windows and most of the roofs were
bright with the faces of Turkish women
who, for this occasion at least, dispensed
with the veil"
The yeast of the women's revolution,
to which The World recently referred, is
working in Turkey. The revolution is
social as well as political, concerning
both men and women, and that the
throughout its development.
The women were actual factors in the
working out of revolutionary plans. In
their retreats, safe from the Sultan's
the insurgent leaders. In the outbursts
of Joy when the Sultan proclaimed the
Constitution, women joined with men,
casting aside the veil, the symbol of
slavish submission, and revealing in "a
new sense of freedom. Women are writ
ing for the press. Schools for girls are
being recognized. Womens clubs have
been formed. The first play to be pro-
duced in the new theatre at Constanti-
nople is Shakespeares Julius Caesar"
translated into Turkish by girl.
Thus the women's movement, sweep
ing with irresistible force throughout
the civilized world, rolls into Turkey,
the last resort in Europe of -unmitgated
despotism. In Russia women have ex-
ceptional social legal and professional
privileges, and from the beginning of the
leaders. The movement for suffrage in
America, starting with the Women's
Suffrage Convention in 1S4S, is now
pressing for full political rights in every
part of this country. In Great Britain
women are hammering at the door of
Parliament.
Beginning In Continental Europe with
the Letteverein for the industrial better
ment of women, the movement has ex-
banded until it has gained equal legal
rights in nearly all European countries.
Women are admitted to most European
universities and to nearly all the occu
pations. They have limited suffrage in
many European nations and full suffrage
in several. The onward march reaches
the antipodes in Australia, where women
have equal suffrage; touches the Arctic
Circle in Finland where nineteen women
occupy seats in Parliament, and is now
invading Asia through the main gateway,
Constantinople.
Suppose that, like most other struggles
for wider rights and liberties, this battle
also is won at all points-what next
What influence will the full cooperation
of woman with man have on society
What will be its ultimate result THE

Dropped Roses.

A sweet, white rose was lying in my
path,
The dusty pavement of city street;
Uncrushed, unwithered in its perfect
bloom,
Amid the ceaseless rush of hurrying
feet.
i raised it tenderly and bore it home,
Where, at my window, blooming pure
and white,
1t charmed me with its beauty and per
fume,
And filled the lonely hours with sweet
delight.
Someone, with hands o'erful of fragrant
flowers,
Had dropped the rose upon the crowd
ed street,
And passed unheeding on, not missing
one,
Deeming his floral treasure still com
plete.
The Father made them all and left for me
That one, as oft some blessing sweet
He hath,
And oft to Him my grateful thanks arise
For life's dropped roses" lying in my
path.

 A determined fight-even in the courts if that becomes necessary is to be made to save one of the relics of old New York-the property which. with all it's early settings still intact, is known by the ante-revolu tiOnary name of London Terrace. London Terrace, which was once a suburb of the early city, is a unique spot in Greater New York situated in Twenty fourth street between Ninth and Tenth avenues and is the sole re- maining exclusive residence district in the territory which was once far beyond the city's northern boundary but is now a part of it's down town river front. It is a sort of residen tial oasis in a crowded business sec ton and is surrounded by stores of every kind with the great trans-At- lantic docks only two blocks away. In spite of this, however, it has re- tained through two centuries it's iden- rfty as a district of old fashioned homes. The present leases are-more than fifty years old, antedating al- most any others in the city, and the occupants of the Terrace are pre- pared to fight bitterly the plan to convert the district into a purely commercial center by the erection of stores where ancient houses now stand. The property is of more than ordinary interest, not only because of it's age and character, but also on account of the famous persons who have lived there. It is now the only down town residential district where thirty-foot lawns may be found in front of the houses of which not one is less than sixty years old. Two families have lived there more than sixty years, andpseven for more than half a century, as the leases for this historic were originally drawn to run twenty-one years with the privilege of four renewals for equal periods. On this account the commercial spirit which is attempting to obliterate this last remaining bit of old New York is likely to meet serious opposition.

PHoENIx, ARIZONA, DEC. 5. 1908
THE IRRECoNCILABLE.


 The Douglas International, though perhaps not constitutionally opposed to statehood is just bound that We shall not have it until we can secure it under the happier auspices of Mark Smith. The International dis closes its present sentiment in the statement that the defeat of state hood would serve a few hundred Arizona democrats right" for voting for Cameron.
 We think that there are not many other democrats who feel this way about it. A great many of them be- lieved that the success of MT. Smith was not essential; in fact that 1t would be. damaging to our chances for statehood and they voted ac- cordingly. A few democrats. the per sonal friends of Mir. Smith, whatever they might have believed, would have voted for MT. Smith if they had known that his election would have wrecked our hopes of statehood. And no doubt some of his more uncom- promising friends are hoping now that the failure of statehood will fol- low his defeat.
 Here are some nti-statehood gems from a single issue of the Interna- tional:
 "The federal appointees of Arizona are holding their statehood sessions behind closed doors. Of course they are working for our admission"
 Senator Flint is evidently going to make a heroic effort to pull the Arizona republicans out of the hole where Cameron and statehood put them"
 Now, if John D. Rockefeller would supplement Theodore's letter to Judge Kent with one endorsing statehood for Arizona, our citizens would breathe more freely. That Kent let ter is the limit"
 There isn't much statehood brag- gadocio prevalent in Arizona republi- can quarters these days"
 Would an intelligent, unbiased judge pronounce the foregoing to be emana- tions from the brain of a man who wants statehood?
 As We have said, we do not think there are many democrats in Arizona who are continuing to take the defeat so much to heart. We may or we may not get statehood at this short session, though the indications that we will are more favorable now than ever. But if we should not; if we shall have to wait until the sixty first congress, there will be nobody in Arizona hairbrained enough to be- lieve that the result would have been different in the event of MT. Smiths election; that very powerful and bit ter enemy of MT Smith, Speaker Cannon, would have put himself out of the way to expedite the passage of a statehood bill as a reward to Arizona for having returned him; that the strong republican majority in both houses would have given to a democratic territory what it would deny to a republican territory.
 We are glad that the spirit mani fested by the International is. not very widespread; that it has so far as we know, a single nucleus. It it were general it would be an almost certainly fatal handicap.
