The fire started on the sixth floor
and the flames were soon burst ng
from the windows. Five times the
hose burst and this added TO the
panic of the girls who appeared at
windows. AS high as the eighth

preparing TO leap when the fremen
arrived.

save them. Several Of the girls were
seriously burned after they had
crawled out on window lodges, while

the powers This same speaker pointed out that the one great reason why In the late civil war the south was beaten was because 1t was not sufficient unto itself After the war had been begun the south found out too late that 1t was dependent upon the north and other regions for rifles, guns, and many other necessities of war.
 The day is happily passed when t Is a matter of concern for the south to be able to exist within Itself without the aid of the north. but the day has by no means come yet when the south has developed all It's resources and abili- ties, There are influences being ex- erted to-day which are aiding in its development one such influence would be the suggested permanent OK hibition of the products of the south in Washington There the latter could be daily observed not only by northern CTS, but by the many foreign attaches and visitors who are continually In Washington.

 Ever since he was chosen at the na- tional convention, and before, MT. Taft has been under the greatest phy- sical and mental strain The mutl- tudinous speeches of the campaign, of which there were frequently as many as twenty a day, were not all, With his selection as presideot-to- has fol- lowed a period of French cookery, banquets and after-dinner speaking which would try the makeup of a Hercules. He has fguratively been killed with kindness--,a pleasing eX- perience, we doubt not but a dan gerous one wlthaL His many friends have been well-intcntioncd. but 1t is inevitable that his strength must nave been seriously taxed,
 It is gratifying to note that Mr. Taft is now planning to go to Panama to inspect the progress of the canal zone there. While this trip will add materially to his store of general knowledge of existing conditions which will be of great usefulness to him as president, 1t will also give him a much-needcd rest. When he re- turns from that trip 1t is to he hoped that both he and his many friends will recognize the absolute necessity which exists that he store up his cn- orgies until the Fourth of March and later

UPLIFTING THE sUBuRBANITES.

J. H. Hale of Glastonbury is nothing if not original and stimulating, What eyer subject he elects to consider he brings to It's consideration a breezincss and common scnslbloness that makes his hearers sit up and take notice, It is we'll that he appeared before President Roosevclt's commission on country life, which gave a hearing Thursday at Springfield.
 Mir Hale said so much that is true that it is a pity that he is not mem Der of tie commission. We are not at all certain but that his grasp of the subject is SO keen that he could he trusted alonc to settle it to the satis- faction of the President. While it is evident that he realizes the various things to be done to make life in the country agreeable and profitable, it is not go evident that he expects this in- vcstigatmg commission to accomplish much. With a delightful sense of humor he told the commission that it's sympathes were msdirected, and that 1t is tho dWcler Tn the cities who needs uplifting He enumerated the new sources of stimulation which have n- creased the contentment and happiness of the country population within recent years Salr he: "ln my own state Of Connecticut we arc producing more corn, onions, peaches. tobacco and gar- den seeds per acre than any state in the Union; moro high bred Jersey cat tie per square mile than there are to be found anywhere else in America and we are selling our dairy and other products at highest retail prices direct to our neighbors, consequently we have coutented farmers and hundreds of farm houses that are not for sale at any price
 In speaking of those, who fail to realize the many advantages which lie within their easy reach, Mir Hale said. 'You must jar these people into want ing something for themselves before you can hope to do them much good, which Is exactly what we have con tended from the moment President Roosevelt first undertook 10 improve country conditions One of the needs upon which Mir. Hale lays emphasis is fewer sectarian churches and preach CTS and more real Christian ministers who know more of clover than theol. ogy, more of this world and the good and beautiful things that live and grow therein, and less about the next which can only be guessed about al best"
 | Tn other words, while Mir Hale re joices in the various things which are
 being done to uplft the country llk, good roads, the actual achievement vii come only when the people who live ir 1 the country realize that it is tho avow- ed need of something which provides i the uplifting force. To need some
 thing is to set in motion the force, which yield something,

To the Editor Of the Kick Column:
 Why is if that whenever there Is a fall of rain or of snow of any propor- lions the Edgewood trolley line goes either entirely out of business or is crippled so seriously as to bo useless for the people in the sections which it serves, and who accordingly, seek out other lines of cars? The same old story was repeated with variations as the re- suit of this (FrIday) mornings snow storm
 At about s o'clock there came down the line a snowplow followed by two trolley ars--acCommodatlon unheard of before. The long suffering Edge woodtes opened their eyes in wonder But we had not gone far when on Howe street, where the track is single, our two ears came face To face with two cars going the other way 1 under stand 1t Is serious offense for con- ductor to go by q turn out" when he should not What happened yesterday y mOrning, then?

 Finally the up" cars were backed down to York street There head starter appeared and insisted that every body in the two crowded down cars be transferred to the York street cars, and thus we reached the center of the city way behind time. Whats the mat ter with this service? The result of this sort of thing Is that everybody who would naturally use the Edgewood line goes to Chapel street Then the Edge. wood receipts arc reduced and the line Is put on the company's lack-l list, and no improvements are allowed t.

THE NORTH AND THE SOUTH.

Apropos of MT Tart's recent and timely speech, in which he expressed his sincere belief and hope that ere long the country would see the south come into its own as regards manu- factures and every other interest comes the news that the Southern Commercial League is planning to materially hasten this matter along The league hopes soon to be able to erect a million dollar office building in Washington. Tn this building it Is planned to have permanent exhibi- ton of tho products of the commercial south.
 Such an exhibition would be Of in calculable value not only in bringing the north and the south together, as never before in the past, but in ad- vertising our south to the world The Florida Times Union quotes one en- thusiast on the subject as saying fl would bring the south right up to the doors of the north" IL certainly would aid in bringing that about, But 1t is not enough to hope to see the south right at the doors of the north' The south must be right within the doors of the north or vica versa; or, better yet, there must no longer be any south, or north,

THE CITY OF ORANGE.

The persistency with which these residents in the borough of West Ra- ven who favor a city charter for the town of Orange keep at their self im- posed task, and tho obstnacy with which they ignore the advantages to be gained hy consolidating with New Haven must he counted among the mysterious things of life. More than that their attitude s likely sooner or later to awaken livclier interest on the part of the city of New Haven, which may well ask itself If it can af- ford to permit the establishment of another municipality at its elbow
 It has never vet been possible to convince the people of West Haven that the suggestion to consolidate with them Is an entirely unseltsh one on the part of those who have urged 1t fin New Haven. The movement grows OHl VI lIit lVElt VI lll' SlAhdilbl RIN not out of idle sentiment. While po- litically West Haven is independent of New Haven, socially and commercially it is as much part of this city as the Twelfth ward Is. It is the larger life of New Haven which gives West Haven the stimulus 1t receives. Wipe New Haven off the map and West Haven would speedily return to an agricultural community and 1t is this fact which forces more and more up- on the attention of thoughtful people the inevitableness of the consolidation program.
 It Is inconceivable that the general assembly should grant a charter to the town of Orange without providing that 1t be submitted to popular ap- proval before 1t became operative. When 1t comes to understand that West Haven Is 6 resident section of New Haven and that its population 1t would necessarily inquire into the spirit which recommends an independ- ent municipal organization. It is one thing for the legislature to listen sym pathetlcally to the voice of West Ha-  ven and an entirely different thing tc so legislate as to injure the city of New Haven, which was first in tho field and which is responsible for West Ravens existence as a suburb of con seuuence It should see and realize that among the inevitable changes il store for New Haven is the annexation of West Haven on the one hand, and of A. part of IIamden, on the other hand. Resistance will delay the con. summation of the logical undertaking but the time will surely come wher the good of the greatest number will of itself force it upon the attention oi the. people of both sections.
 In the meantime New Haven vii do well to continue it's educatona campaign in the kindliest vein, seek ing to convert West Haven from lt' present mistaken course, mistaken fol all concerned
