the south's future ought to open all eyes north and south
 Mr. Bryce said he could scarcely ex- plain the great differences he witness ed in the south between his visit there tWenty-seyen years ago and eighteen months ago On all sides in the south today he explained there arc signs of activity progress, and development; the resources Of the soil are not only being realized and utilized as never before, hut there Is "a new spirit in the south which desires to make educational pro- gross commensurate with material de- veopmont' The noted English ambas- sador concluded by saying: There is a great door open before you. and as one of the well-wlshers of the south, who believes in its greatness as a nourishIng and important part of the country. I venture 10 congratulate you upon what Is being done and 10 say that stilI greater prospects are before you."
 There can be no doubt that the south's day is coming, But there arc just a few unfortunate conditions which vItalIy stand in the way one of these Is It's time-worn custom of "sol- idly" casting its vote with little or no reference to It's voters better opinions as to the real worth Of individual ean- didatcs and political problems As Mir Taft explained tho other night before the North Carolina society In New York, lt is this political habit which takes from the southern people, the re- responsibilities which the members of q republic ought to share in respect 10 the conduct of the national govern ment
 lt will Dc no easy matter to break up the politically solid south, but that result is coming and it is only mat fer ut time when sectional lines of this character win he wiped away and when therc win he no such thing as northern politics as differentiated from southern politics. When that happens and fl seems near at hand), the south will come into It's own as 1t should hayc long years ago

PLEASING NEWS.

Every citizen must realize tho incsti- mable importance to the city of the news that on January 1, the old Ma tional Wire companys plant in Fair Haven will open as one Of the units of the American Steel and Wire company and that before long as many as five thousand men Will be employed at the big factory, which will be approximate ly three times the number ever employ ed there before the shutdown year and half ago, even the best of times
 Frequently tho unpleasant buz2lng of the pesslmist Is heard about our city, the pessimlst who tells us that New Haven never has bccn aud never will he any good as a commercial center Nobody does the city more harm The sooner New Havcncrs realize that New Haven Is geographically and in every other way most favorably situated to he great commercial center, the bet tor will it be for the city Tho fact that the wire company will open such | largo plant here concluslycly proves that mon who really know, realize that fact Fair Haven is an ideal location for tho big factory. So are the Win chester and the Sargent districts, The fact tha. New Haven finds t possible ito grow in practically any direction, as the number of the homes of its work CTS increases, is in itself of the grcat- est importance.
 If tho city is on tho point of a great commercial boom, there must be uni- ycrsal recognition within the ranks of our worthiness. The coming of tho wire concern is p splendid beginning toward that great boom II remains for all to pull together

4 BOSTON DECISION,

Aa exhaustive report recently made by special garbage commission ap- pointed by Roston's mayor should be of special interest in this city. N- though, during tho cold months of the year. garbage does not seem such pressing matter the fact must not be forgotten that soon summer will hc with us again and with 1t all the countless unsanitary and unhcalthful evils which have long existed in New Haven because of an antequatod and inadequate system for doing away with our waste products.
 Boston has had It's garbage evils commensurate with those of New Ia- yen, It was because of them that the commission referred to was. appointed. Its report urges the abolition of the present separate collections of the diff ferent kinds of the city's waste lgar- bage, ashes, papers, etc,) and the estab- ishment of q series of lncinerators. Icapablc of dlsposing of the conglomer- ate mass by one process These should be established at convenient places about the city, which could be done in view of the fact that the incinerator- process is not malodorous or objection able in any way. This recommendation, 1t is pleasing to note, is exactly the same as was made to the board of fn- ance by the sanitary committee Of the Associated Civic societies, after inves- ! tgating the local situation and testing the various methods of disposal
 The reasoning of the Boston commits sion is not at all difficult to follow. To have but one collection Of the clty's waste, made by the city's own carts, not by contractors, has its practical advantages, It Is cheaper in the first place, than the system of separate col lections of garbage, ashes and paper, which IS the New York system Then again, it makes it easier for ianitors
 maids and housewives, who avoid the trouble of separation, while at the same time the thorough mixing that these products get when thrown into barrels helter- -skelter is desirable. Gar bage is composed of about S7 per cent.
 water. When, however, 1t is mixed with ashes q large per cent. of this moisture is lost and the whole becomes far more
 susceptible to fire, The fact, too, thai
 incincrators are inoffensiyo and thus can be placed anywhere even in resi- dental districts, makes the hauIs short, CT and hence cheaper, and the power generated from the burning mass can
 be used locally in each community
 This important sanitation question
 has not been forgotten in New Ha- .ycu In due time it will be brought up

Night Collections.

To tbc Editor of the Kick Columns
 The garbage question is sure to come up again In New Haven when the right moment arrives, am hearty believer In the inelnerator proposition, and | think the city should take tho matter or collecting all tl,e city's refuse, which Includes ashes, garbage, paper, ete" Into It's own hands and have It's own wagons and its own men, Then tho responsibility could be placed where lt should be-
 But, In thls connection, let me add q further suggestion, notice that m Merlden resolution has been pre- sentcd to the board of aldermen which provides for the collection of ashes and garbage there between the hours Of ?, m and a. m, only during tho months of June July August and Sep tcmber. That IS q good suggestion, and 1t should be adopted In New Haven and not only for the summer months, but for all the year around when the municipality takes this matter In hand
 IL Is the modern method to stir up the germs at night only, when fewer people are about to breathe them and be incommoded, Abroad and at home many cities now do all street cleaning at night. This system holds in Hart ford and it should here In New Haven The street cleaners can work more ef. fectually then too, SANITARY,

MR. BRYCRs PREDICTION.

The city Of Washington this week has been the scene of a number of con gresses, Pre- -eminently, of course. there has been the gathering at the na- tional capital. but, besides that, there have been the governors conservation congress the National Red Cross con- gress, the Southern Commercial con- gress, and others. IA notable happening has taken place at the congress of the southerners. Quite as a spectator, Am bassador Bryce happened In at one of its sessions Tuesday He was at once recognized and at once cries Of Speech, speech" ensued What he had to say is a matter of national con cern.
 There has never been foreigner of any nationality better qualified to ex- press himself authortatively upon America and Americans than James Bryce. Because of that perspective he has, which is born of impartiality, and because of his rare studlous and per- captive endowments he holds the mir TOT up to America, as it were. What he has to say of us we may well accept as akin to the "gifte-gie-us," which allows US to "see oursels as others see us.' What MT Bryce had to say about the accomplishments of the south in the past certainly gave lt credit for much more than the oountry as a whole has been willing freely to ac- Knowledge what he had to say about

RELEASE RATS
TO SCARE GIRLS
Men Accused on Demand
by Girls For
Protection

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
PITTsBURG. Feb. a5-Ten young
women, employed as operators in the
Bell Telephone exchange in Seventh
avenue, have entered formal complaint
with Superintendent of Police Thomas
McQuaide against the employees or
warehouses along Seventh avenue.
Their grievance was based on rats.
ITS this way. Mr.. McQuaide," said
the spokeswoman, 1.-THE men in these
buildings set traps at hight and in the
morning they have whole traps full OF
live rats Then they have a lot OF
dogs, and in the morning they let the
rats out and the dogs get them. That
part is all right, but recently the men
have been waiting until they would see
a couple of us girls going to work and
they would release a whole bunch OF
rats on us. It's only natural, you
know. for a rat. when he sees a woman
to rush at her and"
Il see. I see" said McQuaide, who
was blushlng as rosy as any Of the
YES" continued the spokeswoman,
nodding her head, "and there is nothing
for us to do but to start to run. You
know how hard it is for a woman to
run with a tight-fitting slxirt?"
Yes. certainly 1 know" said Nc
Quaide.
And the men Just yell with laughter
when we start to scream" continued
the girl, but we cant help it, for the
rats are awful big, and they make
straight for us. and there is nothing
left for US to do but run and scream"
When McQuade finally bowed the
committee out, the girls were all talk
ing at once. Peter Angelo, a detec-
tive engaged in running down the
"Black Hand" has been called off this
work to take charge of the rat case.
