TO-DAY IS TAG DAY.

It is remarkable that New Haven has not before this had tag day for the benefit of some worthwhile charity, when go many of thom have been held in other cities. But it is ever the conservative New Haven way of doing things to bidc ones time and wait. In some eases we lose by this; in many we gain; in tho present in stance we have undoubtedly gained. Tag days elsewhere have hy no means always been wholly satisfactory Evils have crept in here and there and objectionable features have made their appearance. It should be New Havens good fortune to-day to be able to profit by having waited and having observed the false steps of other com munites.
 The one great objection to tag days, as the Boston Transcript has observed, is that there exists no proper author ity to decide whether any proposed charity is worthy of such an observ- ance. That newspaper notes; An en- tire community might hc held mp, by somewhat annoying methods, for q cause of which it knew little or of whose management it had no real in- formation" Certainly this objection cannot hold against the tag day which is to be held in New Haven to-day for the benefit of St. Raphacl's hospital, We know of no charity more worthy of liberal and universal support. Were the mayor to select worthy object to benefit by a tag day, Inc could not single out q better cause than that of this hospital at this time, As 10 the management under which the tag day is to be hcld that is of the best.
 The city may feel absolutely certain that such solicitation as is made on the streets or elsewhere will be unob- jcctionablc and that everything poss- ble will be done to make the account ing true one. It only remains for those who can to give according to their ability. The burden should not fall heavily on any It is the mites of the multitudes that count and the multitudes. without restriction as to class or sect, are all vitally interested in this splendid new hospital. Let them enter into the idea of the affair with the true sort of Christmas spirit

Castro highhandcdncss has resulted in the present strained relations be- tween Venezuela and Holland, yet Of such little consequence does this Venezuela dictator apparently consider the whole affair that he has now all lowed himself a little respite from his executive duties with trip to Bordeaux ostensbly to have an impor- tant operation performed upon himself, though upon this point too, there may well be some well founded doubts inas much as those who have seen him de- clare that he looks anything but q sick man. Says one report from Port of Spain: The president CCastro) was dressed In white flanncls and wore a Panama hat He did not appear III, The physicians who accompanied the presidential party took with them a trunk full of surgical instruments for use in case an operation becomes necessary" Those who know castro will not be surprised 10 learn that this trunk was filled with documents rather than with instruments. Developments at Bordeaux, whither he Is said to be bound will be awaited with interest
 Meanwhile the belief obtains that, following his usual methods Castro has looked upon the gathering Dutch war clouds as of such little real conse- qucnco that he might take little pleasure trip to Europe as well as not That is Castrolsm. an insolent sort or self suficicncy, which when found in the head of little country like Venezuela, which has not as many in- habitants as the state of Massachu- setts, becomes all the moro amazing
 We can perfectly agree with the Ros
 ton Transcript when t says; Castro is a conundrum 10 the powers, and none the less so when he is on the high seas on his way to meet his doctor"

sentenced to Go to Church.

(New York World)
 For excessive iublation over vic tory at football a company of boys at Montclarc, Pa, has been sentenced to twenty-five Sundays at church.
 This punishment is unusual In the present state Of church conduct IL cannot be judged cruel The boys might havc lived and suffered in such q period as that of tho Rev. Thomas Boston, who IS on record as having preached one sermon arranged under eighty-slx heads and four others of hardly less generous proportions Such pulpit performances as those brought out the necessity of the long poles with which the old time wardens gave slumbering members of foclSs awaken ing taps on holding heads. The tradi- tinn of them may have been one of the leaders to Kaiser Wilhclm's orders to his court chaplains that their ser mons should be limited to ten min utes
 II is probable especially in the cities of the land that q great many men may find profit in being sentenced to spend few Sundays in church Al- most certainly they would hear good music, which is powerful Influence. They might count also on hearing tops ics of thc times discussed by ministers who are men of tho period.
 The boys at Montclaire will have the best of thir case made for them if they shall happen 10 attend upon preach CT who has given more attention to making his own services attractive than 10 trying to direct now all hs fellow. men shall pass their Sundays

CASTRO AND CAsTROIsM.

The suspicion that President Castro, of Venezuela, has left his little nominal monarchy to avoid approaching dIplo- matic difficulties with the intention of living thc rest of his life in Europe in security upon such moneys as he has been able to squeeze out of his countrymen and Into his personal coffers, Is not an unnatural one. Such things have happened before any num- her of times with South American dIc- tators, who have found things getting too "hot' for them But Castro has many times proved himself to be an exception and he probably will be in this matter Unless every sign fails ho is to-day far from the end of his rope. although 1t probably cannot be denied that there are innumerabe diplomats the world over who wish he were not.

To the Editor of the Kick Column:
 How pleased | have been to see tha splendid way in whlrh your paper has been advocating early Christmas shop ping. was delighted this morning to note what prominence this matter was given on your editorial page It deserves it Every mothers heart must go ont to the poor salesglrls in our department stores during the last few days before Christmas II Is even harder on the mites Of children who act as cashb0ys and cash girls
 Let me add my little argument to persuade our New Haven ladies 10 do their Christmas buying at once. Quite aside from the consideration of those in tho stores, they will find they will aid themselves by SO doing. I myself really believe money can be saved by buying now, Certainly the stock i'm the stores is less mussed up by continual handling of salesgrls and hnbltual shoppers But aside from all thIs there Is the Infinite relief which comes to one when ono realized that every pres ent is purchased days ahead and that ono Is exempt from the eleventh hour tusslc at tho counters,

Noting nnd tho Vote.
lNnm Redford standard.l


 Compulsory voting has to be discuss ed about so much, and the subject has just been revived by the advocacy of inc idea by Connecticut college pres ldent He would have men compelled to go to the poles to vote, thinking that by such means many of the abuses which surround the suffrage would be eliminated and that government would be improved. What man does after he reaches the ballot box is quite as important as whether he goes there more important indeed, In some as poets IT a man goes to the ballot box and votes for bad and Incompetent candidates he had better stay away, for he becomes positive detrimcnt to good government. A fair presumption would be that citizen who lacked sufficient interest to vote of hls own voition would not be very particular about tho character of his vote If he were forced to vote Law might make him go to the polling place, and even to place T ballot in the box. No law could possi- bly insure that he would vote wisely or even dccently.

The Auto Horn.

TO tho Editor of the Kick Column;
 Allow mo to say q word in defense of the auto horn.
 I believe that in aholshing tho auto horn or some other signal of warning we would find ourselves in danger "continually." The auto moves along nolselossly and there must he snno. thing 10 attract the pedestrian to q possible danger. Who would think of dlscardng the signal on A street car?
 The public will walk anywhere in the street and will absolutely not look for their own safety except by warn ing signal 1 had an experience where my horn became detached In one of thp busiest streets in the city The result was that I had four narrow escapes within ton minutes. although the ma chine could not go faster than five miles per hOura-as | was going at slow speed.

RULES OF THE HOUSE.

Whenever "Uncle Joe" Cannon has been confronted with particularly con vincing evidence of his own arbtran- ness as the speaker of the national house of representatives and he has found no other available argument at hand, he has invariably said that he had not at all been an autocrat as speaker inasmuch as he has always been bound by the rules of procedure which are unquestionably passed upon by the house at large.
 As much as the election of another man than Mir. Cannon to the speaker ship of the house would please all who have the best interests of the country at heart, the fact must not be lost sight of that under past conditions if would be quite as possible for another man to become as autocratic q speaker as MT Cannon. The rules of the house make such thing possible. Since this is the case it is definitely pleasing to note that there is to-day developing in Washington, along with the revolt against MT. Cannon, a de- clded desire for a.revision of the rules of the house, and, unless all signs fail. these changes will be affected. The present rules of the house were scathingly condemned by the party which was defeated at the last elec ton, but, in spite of that fact, there can be no doubt that a change in them would be overwhelmingly endorsed by tho majority of the voters of the coun- try. Prcsident-elect Taft among oth- CTS. is in sympathy with the movement and the list of those in the house who have expressed themselves in favor of it is long one.
 The underlying basis of the auto cracy of the speakership under Mir Cannon has been the fact that the method of procedure has required that, if & member of the house has wished to be "recosnizcd' and be giy- on the floor" he has first been requir- ed to go to the private room of the speaker, offer his compliments and pray for that privilege, In addition to that, all the daily procedure of the house has been mapped out in ad- vance by the committee on rules, made up of five members two demo- crats and three republicans and all appointed by the speaker, Tho re- publican three have been able to run things quite their own way and to stinc whenever and whatever they wished.
 The suggestion is now made that 1 this rules committee be enlarged to seven, nine, or even eleven members and that it bc elected by the house at large instead of appointed by the speaker, as in the past Such a com i mittee it is considered would be a 1 fair working body and it could work for the interests of the majority and successfully combat the speaker, al- lowing many bills to be presented on the floor which in the past have laid pigeon holed till too late for action. Such 2 change Is worthy of serious consideration, IT, in addition 10 this reform, Mir. Cannon can be defeated and another man elected to the speak er's desk, then so much the better. Al any rate, the time seems due for a change in the general aspect of things in the house, Republicans, as well as democrats, are of one opinion In that regard. Few reforms would be better for the country.
