Bishop Brent's Decision.
From the Boston Advertiser.

Bishop Brent has raised himself great
ly in popular estimation by his announce
ment Of his determination to refuse the
Washington offer of the bishopric, and to
return to his hard and important labors
in the Philippines. This may be said
without implying that a different decision
would have lowered HIM in popular es-
timation Had he decided that under the
conditions of his health or for other rea-
sons he should accept the call to Wash
ington. there could be no questioning of
his sincerity or his courage. His record
stands proof against unworthy insinua-
tions. He has done great work in the
islands. He would do valuable work at
Washington. This because he is force
full, honest. energetic man. His deter
mination to go back to his work. to build
a firmer structure on the sound founda-
ton he has laid in the Philippines, will.

who admire courage and thoroughness.

his position before the world. has now
achieved one that will stand long in his
tory as an example of personal unselfish-
ness,

Women as Smugglers.

To cheat the government of what is
coming to it seems to many women but a
venial fault. They may have conscien-
tious objections to customs tariff; or
they may have found some inner self Jus
titication in the fact that most men swear
off their personal taxes. They will awake
to the realization of their culpability at
about the same time that all street car
passengers thrust their nickels on the
conductor who has overlooked them Per-
haps it is not fair to apply the penalties
for smuggling against women so rigorous
ly as against men. until they are admit
ted to full participation in public affairs.
and have their social consciences exer-
cised and strengthened thereby.

The Flight,

"Come fly with met" the young man said,
mot in the crude old-fashioned way.
My aeroplane waits overhead
And frets the bonds that bid 1t stay.
IT'S but a pleasure jaunt I ask
You'll try with me.
This Is no lifelong journeys task
Come. Fly with me!
'"The fervid phrase of other days
Has given way to simple fact;
No more poetic fancy plays
Our speech is simple and exact.

And die with me;
I merely am inviting you
To fly with me-

Hazing!
From the Springfield Republican.

The law Of 1901 declares that the penalty
for hazing. or for participating in or
encouraging such practices" at West Point
shall be summary expulsion. No qualified
penalty of suspension is provided for. OF
the eight cadets found guilty Of hazing at
the academy some weeks ago. only two
are to be expelled. according to the orders
determined upon by the President and
Secretary Of War. The other six are to be
suspended for year. Unless 1t is possi-
BILE to classify the offense Of the six as
something besides hazing, on what ground
is the law nullif1ed in their favor?

inch high-pressure main through the

The meeting, which ended harmon
iously. was notable for the extremely
frank manner in which opinions not
mutually complimentary. were passed
back and forth between water com.
missioners and aldermen.
Aid. Heineman stated that the water
board had made mistakes in the past
and had never given the public any
indication Of its future plans. II 1t

could not see their use.

money at once to undertake extensive
improvements.

warm by telling the aldermen that he
did not blame them for objecting to
the lack OF information In the past,
