den of disinterested and candid proof offered showed that all that a lower ing of duties would do in the cases of many articles necessary to this wo- man, would be to lower their prices to her; that it would not-could not prevent the manufacturer making a reasonable profit, or paying the mar ket price of labor to her husband. There was a great human cause easing the burden of our vast labor ing class-knocking at the door of Congress, and it was not heeded-if in- deed it was heard.
 I wanted to see there the American working woman from whom high du- ties have stripped woolen garments and replaced them with cold clammy imita ation-whose bed no longer can afford a wool blanket, or even one of honest shoddy; whose cotton goods have grown dearer and dearer, as have her shoes and dress goods and hose and cloaks. I wanted Congress to look this woman in the face, examine her budget, see how she worked and skimped feel what she got out of life, what ,her husband got, what chances her children had, realize her import ance to the country,-and then rise to her aid. I felt as if the time had come for Congress to say, For fifty years have been favoring your employer and your husband. It is time to take care of you But, so far as I am able to judge, Congress did not know she existed, or if it did, it took great care not to admit her to it's bar.

WOMEN AND THE TARIFF

The discharge from the Connecticut National Guard of MT. Walter MI. Pickett of New Haven, for having written a newspaper article descrlb- lng the unnecessary hardships exper- tenced by militiamen during the re- nent maneuvers in Massachusetts, has aroused much discussion as to the facts in the matter. There is grow Ing belief that he did not misrepre- sent the conditions. Many officers believe that the militia were worked kstoo hard,' for comparatively few of The men were in fit condition physi- kally for the task imposed. upon them. Tn addition, there was a shortness of tations and, according to an interview with an officer published in the Ar
 my and Navy Journal, "the men sell dom got more than two scanty meals h day, and frequently had to pur- hhase what rations they could get krom country stores or farmhouses' There were only three issues of fresh beef"
 It was for revealing the hardships suffered by the militia, that MT. Pick btt was punished. Correction of a wrong was never yet secured by hush- hg 1t up; some one must reveal, the bonditions Mr. Pickett did this and his act was classed as a. breach of military discipline, but his revelations jwill probably effect an excellent pur- pose, viz., changes in the treatment accnrded to State militia in future on Buch occasions.

FOR MONKEYS CARE
Late Miss Justine IngersolI Leaves a
 Legacy for Her Pets.

New Haven, Sept. 25-The will of Miss Justine Ingersoll who died in Boston recently, has been probated and contains one clause that shows the extent to which her devotion went out to her pet animals.
 The clause contains a legacy for the care of two monkeys to which the daughter of one of Connecticut's Gov ernors was so greatly attached. The sum is small, but is sufficient to care for the animals during their lives.
 Miss IngersoM, when living in this city at the corner of Temple and Elm streets, kept several monkeys whose training and intelligence attracted a great deal of attention. Miss Inger- soil was a great lover of all animals and spent much time in studying them Whenever a circus came here she would mingle with the trainers, who were charmed by her interest. She was unalterably opposed Sto the pun ishment of all animals, thoroughly be- lieving that kindness alone could win them.

TEACHERS GET
 MORE SALARY
New Haven'S Board of Education Unaa- imousIy Adopts Schedule Submitted
 by League.
MARTIN PUPILS ELECTION PLEDGE

New Haven, Sept. 25.-By unanimous vote of the newly constituted Board of Education, John Day Jackson ab- sent, the salary schedule first present. ed to the board, and rejected, by the Teachers League, in June, 1907, and which the league has consistently fought for ever since, was adopted last night to become operative in full as requested by the teachers commencing with the fall of 1910.
 Because the teachers and the city have already entered into a formal contract for the school year which opened this month, the schedule could not be put in operation until next fall, but action was taken at once in order to allow the Board of Education to send a committee before the board of finance next week to request a suffi- cient reputation for next year to allow this increase in salaries.
 With the three rev appointees nam ed by Mayor Martin last week taking office last night and two more' in of flee from last year, the Mayor for the first time was given chance to show his influence in the board in the carry ing out of his election pledge to do whatever lay in his power in behalf of the adoption of the teachers sched- ,ple and it's adoption last night is re- sarded as a distinct fulfillment of his pledge with satisfying results.
 The new schedule adopted last night differs from that at present in force in the city schools, in the first place because it provides for but two max ina instead of four as at present and raises the teachers of the first six grades to an equal footing, where at present they are placed on different levels. For some of them the same salary virtually is paid as under the present system, but for the medium grades which have been paid a lower salary the same compensation is at tached. The compensation for the eighth grade remains unchanged as at present, but for the seventh grade 1t is brought up to a par with the eighth instead of being $50 below it.
 Probably the most important thing from the teachers standpoint accom- plished by the adoption of this sched- ule is the arrangement of definite schedule for the salaries of the teach CTS in the High school. There has been no definite fixed schedule in the High school and it is considered a great point scored to get one adopted for that school.
 Another point 'of difference is the fact that the minimum salary is placed at $450 instead of at $350 as at present, giving the new teacher $10O more for her first year after normal school.

Tn the October American Magazine, the new tariff is treated from com paratively new standpoint Referring to the increased cost of living, and its effect upon "the 100000 families who must live on an average wage of $500 a year, the writer says:
 What interest did Congress show in that person, who after all is about the most important in the countrywide woman, who, as head of these 12,000,- 900 families on small income, must feed and clothe and train the boys and girls who are in a few years to do fhe worlds work? From all that Con- gress as body did, or said, you would not have known that these 12,- O00. GOO women, caring for families on these pitifully small incomes, exist ed.

! Like President Taft, Gov.

The last Republican platform promised . the ere%tion of public utilities commits eion, but the party bosses dextrously managed to have the several bills fall between the two branches of the Leg lslature Gov.

The Twentieth Century club of Cin- cinnati, a suffragist organization, has asked the mayor to appoint women to the police force. Its members assert, In formal resolutions, that woman has a right to at least half the off, cial positions in Cincinnati' That which the club asks for, is no more than the logical conclusion of woman suffrage. If women are to have the ballot, they should logically be eligible to all the privileges and subject to all the duties of citizenship, whether these privileges and duties pertain to pure ly clerical positions or to police pa- troI service But in the latter case, who is to chaperone the woman po- liceman?

HARRY WHITNEY
 RUSHING HOME
Expected to Arrive in New Haven Next Week an Important Factor in Peary' Cook Controversy.

New Haven, Sept. 25.-The first word which has been received from Harry whitney of this city since he left Commander Peary and went off on the relief ship Jeanie, came last night in the form of. a. message to Harry Benedict of this city, a close friend of Whitney. The telegram was as follows:
 Indian Rarbor, Labrador. via Cape
 Race, Sept. 24
 Harry Benedict. New Haven, Conn.
 Rushing home! See you soon. Hard winter. Wonderful shooting. Have skins for you. Picked up snip Watch Herald. Notify Frank and George.
 HARRY WHITNEY"
 From this message and those prev iously received, MT. Benedict and Whitney's other friends believe that he is coming home by rail as soon as he gets into Sydney. and will arrive in New Haven the latter part of the coming week. The fact that he IS rushing home'' also makes his leav- ing of Commander Peary the more mysterious, as he could have been here by this time had he come along on the Roosevelt.
 His arrival is anxiously awaited by all those interested in the rival claims of Cook and Peary, as he will in a W. them, and he also has with him many of Cooks important records. That he will have an interesting story to tell, goes without saying. On Tuesday, the day of his arrival in this country, Dr. Cook said that Whitney knew all about his discover ies and of what extent he had entrust- ed his valuable records and instru- ments to the local man. That portion of his quizzing by the reporters on Tuesday, relating to Whitney, was as follows:
 "what did you tell Harry Whit ney?"
 'I told him all about the pole."
 Did you give Whitney anything to bring back to America?'
 "Yes. gave him instruments-a sextant. a compass and an artificial horizon. But Whitney will be here soon to tell his own story. I do not ask him to tell nine.'' The wording of the above telegram also promises an interesting narrative. It is supposed by his friends here that the shipwrecked crew referred to have been picked up by the Jeanie since separating from Peary as no previous mention had been made of such an in cident. Who the crew are and from what sort of a craft is purely specu- lative, but it is supposed that it is a fishing crew. perhaps of Newfound- flanders.

The official career of the late Gov. Johnson .of Minnesota proves that honesty and devotion to the peoples s Interest pay in the end. When the voters of his state came to know that his integrity was indisputable and that he was not owned wholly or in part by the big corporations. they Three times elected him to the Cover norship, though he was Democrat and a great majority of them are Re- publicans. There is lesson in these facts for men ambitious of public pre- Torment. Al time is coming, if not al- ready here, when the corporation taint will defeat any candidacy, however well qualified otherwise.
