A MARVELLOUS AGE

Though the year 1907 was remark
able for it's wonderful achievements,
the new year gives promise of as
great marvels. One of the promised
wonders will be a wireless telephone
across the Atlantic. Not only will
talking be possible, it is claimed, but
photographs and newspaper sketches
can be thus conveyed
Following close on the heels of the
accomplishments of the wireless tele-
graph it shows how quickly one mir
acle succeeds another. New inven-
tions are coming so thick and fast
on the Twentieth Century that there
is not time to grasp their full mean
ing before another equally as astound-
ing demands attention.
Developments in aerial navigation
will be one of the most important of
the promised deeds of the new year.
On different lines a number of in
venttors are working and the best will
survive.
Each year of the new century seems
the superior of the one just proceed
ing, and the impossibilities of yes
terday become the surities of today
1t is truly marvellous age in which
to live.

SUBTRACT TES HOLD
STREET NEE TING
First Step in Suffrage Cam
paign Talk.

NEW YORK, Jan. (Special)-
The American suffragettes, the wo-
men who are to work aggressiyely for.
woman suffrage, took their first step
to that end in an open-air meeting,
which they held yesterday afternoon
in front of the Metropolitan Life
Building fronting on Madison Square
Some 800 more or less interested and
amused men gathered to listen to
them There was a scattering of wo-
men, the meeting was quiet and or
derby, and there was not a policemen
in sight. A feature of the affair was
the absence of all the women who
have been known heretofore as rep
resentatives of the suffrage cause.
The women stopped under a big
red sign, on which were the words in
large white letters, tStOpl Danger!'
Here they found a small piece of
trestleWork, something larger than
a shoe box and not as large as a
packing case, which Mrs. Wells brave
ly mounted Men coming out of the
big building near at hand had now
begun to congregate.
If any of you wonder why we are
here today" began Mrs. Wells, it is
to agitate for the cause of woman
suffrage. Your smiles show that you
don't know the Importance of, the
question-you don't, know the impor-
tance of the ballot"
Yes, We do" answered the men.
You have made woman believe that
politics is something that she cannot
understand. We can understand it
quite easily, and we are determined
to have hand in the legislation. The
education of your children, the health
in your homes-eyerything depends
upon legislation. | was told when /
came here that this was the freest
country in the world, but it is not
so, for the women here. have not
as much freedom as we have in
England,
do you think it would be possible
for women to make a worse mess
of politics than men have?
Cries from the men: No! MOI"
when | see your tenement houses,
your workers in Pittsburg, your child
laborers, say, For Gods sake, give
us chance in politics. The wo-
men would surely look after the chill
den better"

MERELY IDLE PROMISES

Promises, idle promises! That's
the way the people have been buncoed
by the Gov. Smith administration in
the matter of that $4,000,000 which
was to be distributed among the citi-
zens after that sum had been snatch
ed from the rapacious railroads.
It's SO easy to make promises before
the election. Tell the people any
thing, was the slogan of the reform
ers. Reports from Atlanta are to
the effect that the Railroad Commits
sion sees the absurdity of trying to
carry out such a promise, and all
discussion of the matter is to be drop
ped. It's an unpleasant subject-a
sore spot-for the administration.
Harrassing the railroads, with lit
tie or no benefit to the people, has
been about the sum total of the ac-
complishments. The administration
can point with pride" to the present
plight of the Seaboard, and say I'VE
helped do that" The "reformers"
have been caught with the goods this
time and no amount of squirming will
induce the voters to believe that re-
auctions of freight and passenger
rates helped the road.
1t will take something more than
high-sounding promises to pull the
reformers through another campaign.
In fact the people are coming to the
conclusion that they have been
caught by a false alarm

MISSION OF JEWS
Is PEACEFUL ONE

BOSTON, MASS, Jan. 3.-(Spe.
ciaD-In answer to recent remarks
by President Charles w. Eliot, oil
Harvard University, advising a society
of Jewish young men, at the college
to join the militia in order to res
tore the martial spirit of ancient Is
rael Rabbi Charles Fleischer delivered
sermon at the new Temple Israel
The rabbi said:
Il was shocked to read President
Eliot's advice to the Jews. He said
that the Jews were inferior to others
in physical development and in sta
ture. He suggested that the young
men join the militia and cultivate the
martial spirit of their ancestors.
I'm so far as President Eliot plead
ed for physical development and an
outdoor life, cordially sympathize
with his idea. But when President
Eliot harks back to the glorious times
when the Jews had martial spirit,
the loss of which he deplores, to re-
gain which he urges them to join
the militia, then, as a Jew, as an
American, as man, protest against
his utterance.
The Harvard sage errs in asserting
that there is no reason why the Jews
should not make good fighters. There
happens to be the best of reasons
The Jews has got out of the habit
of fighting. He has lost the primitive
mans desire to kill, because he has
been Civilized SO long. You can't
brutalize him again.

COUNTING THE CROSS TIES


Free passes Oh steam and electric
railways expired with the old year,
and like the whiskey license, cannot
be renewed. Holders of precious bits
of pasteboard which they were ac-
customed to flash on the naughty con-
ductor with a nonchalant air, are
reduced to ranks It's to dig down
into the strong box, hit the cross
ties or stay at home, for those who
rode without money and without
price"
Railroads were overwhelmed with
human parasites who represented
. themselves as indispensable to the
having succeeded in impressing the
same views on the powers that be-
or rather were-became one of the
elect.
But the Railroad Commission came
to the rescue of the railroads and
ordered that no more free passes
should be issued, thus sweeping out
both good and bad claimants on the
hospitality of the railroads. On the
whole, it will be money in the tills
of the railroad companies. Those
who did not enjoy a pull" and were
envious of those who did, will be
pleased, and the only disgruntled one
is the unfortunate ex-holder.
Travel will fall off very materially
among the pasteboard IGNORES, and
the abridgement of service will not
crowd the remaining trains as dur
ing the regime of the "deadhead.

BANKRUPT, WITH
INCOME OF $40, 900
Spendthrift Can't Pay Ali
mony of $4,000.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-(SpeciaD -
With an income Of $4,000 year
Henry G. Moore, who is we'll known
in Philadelphia, wants to be adjudg-
ed a bankrupt. He pleads inability
to pay his former wife alimony
amounting to $21 900
Since his wife, Mrs. Charlotte Moore
obtained a divorce from him several
years ago in Pennsylvania, Moore
has been constantly on the move
from one State to another in order
to avoid paying her the alimony OF
$685. a month awarded to her by the
Pennsylvania court.
Moore's father, according to his
counsel, Abraham Snydecker, was
Andrew Moore of Philadelphia, head
of the Wilson whiskey business. He
died nearly ten years ago, leaving his
property, valued at $4000,000 to his
three sons. In his will he referred
to his son Henry as "spendthrift,
and tied up his share so that he
could only get the $4,000 income
from it.
His reply to alimony proceedings
was to make applicat alton to be declar-
ed a bankrupt, alleging that his living

wines and jewelry, which he said
amounted to 100000, would quite ex-

his father.
He said further that about a year
ago he had received at one time $780,
600 of accumulated interest from his
fathers estate. Within three months
not cent of this was left. Where it
had gone he swore to the referee APP

SPIES WORRY
UNION LABOR

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-(SpeciaD-
Chairman Charles Delaney of the
Central Federation Union, by the
instructions of that body has appoint
ed secret committee of five to in
vestigate rumors that labor delegates
were supplying manufacturers with
information to use against the unions.
None but the Chairman, the Secre-
tary and the members of the COM
mittee themselves are to know the
names of the men appointed.
This action was taken after hot
debate following a report of Business
Agent Mari of District Is of the In
ternational Association of Machinists
to the effect that detective alleged
to be in the employ of the National
Metal Trades Association had been
found getting printing done ostensibly
for District Is, but really for the
purpose of seeking information to
use against the union. He had issued
an order for a number of cards for
a mass meeting, when the union del
egates were communicated with and
repudiated the whole matter. The
man was arrested on the charge of
larceny and taken before a City Mag
istrate. There was nothing to sus-
tain the charge of larceny and the
Magistrate held that seeking evidence
by detective was not illegal and
discharged him.
Delegates said that they knew that
there were spies at every labor meet
ing, and that the labor unions them
selves would have to fight fire with
fire and organize committees for the
purpose of finding out these spies.
