ARTFUL D0DGING.

There is an old theory that in catch ing birds the task Is considerably frightened by placing first a quantity of salt on their tails. The difficulty in thus undertaking to outwit the elusive bird is that his birdjesty has an eye to the windward, and flies away while the poacher is arranging his salt For a while, however, this understanding of the ignorance of the bird was thought to stimulate the salt industry, but that is no more.
 It is without disrespect that we lik en in our thoughts the two United States Senators from Connecticut, Mot gan G, Bulkcley and Frank Brandesee, to birds threatened with a shot of salt The indomitable Taft men gathered to- gethcr at Hartford with their admir- ably arranged war paint on and in place. They cast their eyes over the republican plantation and knew that 1t was theirs, from the hills of Windham county to those of old Litchfleld coun- ty from Hartford county to Fairfield county Far in the distance rose the gcsticulating figures Of Senators Bulke. ley and Brondegee They are viewed through the reverse end of the spy glass Quick sped the word that if they

tho power of the speaker of the house is obvious, As the outlook says "tlls motive Is lmmatoral It may even Do that he is right in thinking the leg ialatlon lnoxpedient, extravaFant, or even unconstitutional. That also Is im- naterall The fundamental question ls not, Is thia bill wise? Have the American people, through their prop erly constituted representatives, n right to pass upon its wisdom? The outlook protests against substituting government by olgarchy, however wise 1t may be, for government by the neo- pie, however unwlse they may be- The issue could not be more happily phrased It was never the theory that the epeakership of the house should carry with 1t such autocratlc and ar bItrary powers. Those have come with the growth of the country and the ln- crease In the size of that body, Since they are evil powers and subversive of American doctrines of government they must be abandoned, Nor is there the slightest reason to doubt that the American people will find q way to eliminate practices which operate against their interests, when they real ize that to be the fact, Even the al- legged pieturesqueness of Speaker Can non will not stand in their way.

WOMEN JANIroRs AT YALE.

The announcement that the experi. ment will he tried next fall Of having women take care of the rooms in Van- derbllt Hall may seem startling and novel but the innovation seems to be needed. The announcement comes as the result of mature and careful thought on the part of the campus com mittee. on which are representatives of both the faculty and the students The public generally probably thinks that the dormitory rooms at Yale are kept in the pink of condition, with all the janitors there are engaged in the work. The plain facts of the case are that the rooms are far from being as cleanly as the boys are used to at home, where the other sex look out for them, and oftentimes, where a student Is unable or unwilling to "sweeten" both the head "sweep" and the under "sweep' on his entry with tips as often as their majesties deem sufficient, he finds hia room almost unlnhabitahle because of the dirt and the disorder.
 There are women. and they can eas- fly be found who would be only toe glad to undertake this work and do il well without expectation of remunera ton other than that they receive at the bursar's office Such women could make the rooms more homelike anc certainly more healthful than the pres. ent janitors ever have. Such a system as is suggested for Vanderbilt next year it is planned 10 extend thrdughout all the dormitorles at a later date f 1t Is satisfactory There seems to bt little cause for uncertainty on tha point Vanderbilt Hall. where all art seniors and thus the most maturet students is the very dormitory where f would be accorded the fairest trial I is needless to say that the women SC lected will be far beyond the allurnl age As at Harvard and Pennsylvania where the system has been in vogu with great success for years, only mid dle-aged women, who are known ( have a mania for severely punishint every spcck of dirt that comes within their observation, will be employed am only those who are thrown upon thei own resources. It has been suggeste, that in the future instead of havlnj tho bashful senior running off with chorus girl the novellsts will have then eloping with their Janitors' !" Thoug' the latter seems improbable, 1t doe seem certain that the bashful senio will be able to usher his best -belove, into rooms that will be moro like thos at home when she comes to see hin graduate in June.

THE CoRONEu's COUNSEL

Coroner l1li Mix has made public two verdicts of great interest to the public He is satisfied that the death of brave Lieutenant Conlan was not caused by the criminal act, omission or carelcssness of any person or per sons and that an inquest is unneces- sary' But he does find fault with certain of the fire department appa-
The morning journal-courier., 1908-05-07

ratus He says that the heater which exploded and resulted in tho flrcmans death was not provided with q safety valve ard, furthermore, that 1t has come to his attention that there are similar heaters in other fire houses which have no valves The coroner recommends that all steam heaters used in these nro houses not 90 equip ped be at once SC supplied with these safety appliances Immediate action in accordance with this recommends tons seems imperative our fire lad dies have to face enough danger in every form while on active duty at fires without lt being necessary for them to live continually in tho midst of apparatus which Is capable of deal ing death and destruction without moments warning
 It has come to our attention that at one iirehouse in the city the engln- eer himself personally purchased and paid for steam gauge to put on one of these heaters Such an action as that should certainly be unnecessary, With Coroner Mix we believe that our fro department apparatus and all its equipment and appliances should be of the most modern and complete design and construction and thus afford our brave llremen, who lmperil their lives almost daily to the utmost protection. which In the performance of their duties they are entitled to and to our citizens as com plete protection as is possible from loss of life and property"
 The coroner's other verdict had to do with the sad death of little sophy Suderman Here similarly he found no one al fault He Is of the opinion that the chauffeur was exercising all due caution at the time of the accI- dent and that he did all he knew how 10 do to prevent the samc' He may he perfectly Justified in hIs cons cluslons, being able, as he is. to ques ton any anu an eve witnesses of the accident that he can ind but still the opinion of the public Generally seems to be that tho chauffeur was not on. l tirely hlameless. At least all arc united in the belief that such unfor tunate occurrences are becoming fal too frequent The coroner also has some recommendation to make ir ! this connection in order that there may not be mere accidents of a like ! nature at the corner of Church ant l Chapel streets. He believes the cor. ner Is made more dangerous by tn, presenc of large crowds that congre gate at. or very near those four cor ners, 10 get on or off or wait for tn, cars that start at these points. Hi. suggestion Is that the trolley cars b' brought 10 a stop at point mldwa! on the block preceding the crossing II would mean inconvenience to som' but would be a commeudable safet. prccaution since it would material. lessen the number of people waitint at the corners.
