Olga NetIlersole'S Opinion.

Declaring that it is better for
women to marry and have chll-
dren than to become artists and
have careers, Olga Nethersole i'll
an address delivered before
members of the Peoples lnstl-
tute, spoke in favor of compulso-
nv insurance and old age pen
sions for working men and work /.
ing women.
Under the existing industrial
system" she said, 1T is necessa-
ry that women go into factories
and shops to do work. 1t would
he better if they and other Wo-
men workers married, but as
they are compelled to work, gov
ernments should be compelled to
take proper care of them.
"This country should follow
the example set by Germany.
The Federal government should
institute old age pensions and
compulsory insurance. Part Of
the cost might be betrayed by
the employee, part by the employ
ers and part by the government
itself. -

asked to discuss Miss Neither

loosely places himself in the path OF
bankruptcy. The same principle ap-
plies to the banking business.

expenditures, They are already
 ground down under heavy war taxes,
 which will hang over the country for
 a generation. Discomfort is raging among the. lower classes. and a new
 war budget would be likely to bring
 on an internal crisis. Brazil has sev-
 eral times done a good business in selling warships. She is always on the market with bargains in this line whenever a war breaks out. Japan could easily guarantee the acceptance of new fleet when the time comes, for when a government is involved in trouble the people will rally to it's support. But an immense tax burden to keep up a war establishment. in the
 time of peace is not welcome to a
 country groaning under poverty. If Japan wishes to expand her arma-
 ment she cannot do it openly and above board at present. And Brazil is a nation likely to build "on spec"
 now that elaborate naval programmes are a fad with governments and a
 bogy to the people who have to foot
 the bills.

Because the republic of Brazil has given an order for the construction of twenty-seven warships and 125 bat tsries of guns some people are dis posed to see the fine hand of Japan at work in an unexpected field. It is surely difficult to guess what Brazil can want of a great military equip ment. Four of the warEhips are to be DreadnouEhts. and that feature makes it look as though Brazil ex- poets to get well toward the front rank of naval powers.

An army of workers numbering numbering nearly 70.000 will be en- gagged on the census of 1910, for which preparations are already under way. The count of population will begin in the month of April instead of in June, as heretofore, for the req son that in June so many dwelling houses in the cities are closed and the people inhabiting them are count ed twice in some cases and in others not at all. Mortuary data will be omitted from this census in order to give more space to statistics relating to population and business activities. It is proposed to omit the Philippines from the thirteenth census because census was taken of the islands five years ago, and, as the expense of a new census would come out of the treasury of the territory the natives will naturally object to another count so soon. But the territories of Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, Samoa. the canal zone and Porto Rico will be covered. Ther is a bill pending in congress to take an agricultural cen- gus every five years. The country Is developing so fast that figures collect ed once in ten years fail to set forth the actual condition of affairs and are out of date during half the life of the census. Ultimately, and for the same reason. the population census may be taken every five years instead of every ten, as at present.

IS IT ON THE SQUARE?
New Haven Doubts Sincerity of the
 Boom of Governor Woodruff.

Is this eleventh-hour enthusiasm for the renomination of Governor Woodruff. which bubbles now and then to the surface here and there about the state, an honest and square expression of the wish of the people that he be again the candi- date Of his party? That there is such a wish has been taken for granted, but it has been pitifully lacking in positive expression. There are reasons enough why Connecticut should want MT Woodruff to be gov ernor again. The Register has from time 10 time sought to set forth some of them, and has consistent ly advocated his candidacy, provid- ed il should have the sincere back ing of a majority Of the republicans of the state. Tn that regard. the position Of this newspaper is not yet changed.
 But convincing evidence that there is such a radical support is so far lacking. It is one thing for The people in general 10 mildly desire a thing. and quite another for them to rise up and make their desire practically apparent. The Register is inclined to the belief that this mild desire exis's, but stops short of positive and effective action.
 Whence. then come these sporadic bits of enthusiasm for Woodruff Are they genuine? Or are th ' jus. false pretenses of certain per sons who in their hearts desire the nomination of sHbstan ial gentle man named Lake and figure that all the Woodruff enthusiasm which they can raise vill subtract fuz, that much from .he strength of their candidate's chief opponens, Mir LiI- ley3 The source of some of this sort of Woodruff enthusiasm strengthens tke belief that this sus. picinn is nof unfsir7

The approach of the centenary of the birth of Edgar Allen Poe will un- doubtedly inspire many amiable peo- pie with the idea that this unfortu- nate author-poet has been sadly neg .lected. that his works have lacked the due appreciation among his country men and that the time is at hand to fitly honor his greatness. But there is nothing much left to be done, says one writer, for the glory of Poe's fame unless 1t be to abolish for all time discussion of his private life and impress the generations with the fact that the only interesting thing about Poe is the output of his pen.

ENGLAND's PUBLIC TRUSTEE
Dormant Bank Accounts to be Turn
 ed Over to Him.

The house of commons gave first reading yesterday to Mir Bottomley's bill to make banks give return to the state of unclaimed balances and valuables which have been undis- turbed in their possession for six years or more and hand them over to the public trustee.
 The object" he said, Ifs to bring into the possession and control of the ate the vast amount of wealth which is at present lying dormant and entirely unproductive in the vaults and strong rooms of the. var ious banking institutions of the United Kingdom.
 Banks would have to make re- turn of the money, securities, jewell possession unclaimed for six years, and which was the property of per sons who had not operated their ac- counts during that period. They would also have to account to the state for all old bank noes or other obligations which there was reasons to believe had by the aff1uxion of time become obsolete.
 The theory of the bill was that these banks had from various causes deaths. removals abroad, the extinc- tion of families and the carelessness of testators, accumulated vast sums and had been in the habit every six years of writing off these dormant balances.
 There is over a million pounds today" said MT Bottomley. 'in the shape of unpaid dividends in the pos session of the joint stock banks
 There was joint stock bank which few years ago had as GUS toner an eccentric old woman who had s2s,000 in the bank. Once in every year she would drive up to the | bank, ask for the manager, draw a check for the entire sum, count the notes, check the interest and then pay 1t in again and disappear for another twelve months
 For seven years past that woman had not been seen. That e28,000 with its accumulated interest was still lying in the bank. He could give the name of the bank to the chancellor of the exchequer. Was . there a doubt that the old woman had ceased to exist? What about the poor dependents of the old wom- an who were deprived of the money?
 A wealthy personal friend with money on deposit in various banks was killed in a railway accident. The family were now living in abso> lute want because they were unable to find out where the money was. They had gone from bank to bank and the banks had said they could give no information.
 MT Bottomley made himself re- sponsible for the statement that there was, one private bank in Lon don which admittedly had over two millions of dormant securities.
 His bill provided that after given date the whole of the securi- ties should be handed over to the department of the public trustee There should be returns every Janu- ary. The hesult would be "a sur. prise to the country and a veritable godsend to the exchequer. Lon don Daily Mail.
