The troubled affairs OF the county
hospital for the insane at Overlook
continue to hold the centre Of the
stage. The attention OF the public is
now called to a peculiar situation exist

their pay. They Will probably be per-
mitted to remain until the end of their

1.-THE theory that demands equal
rights between the two sexes must be
denied absolutely" said the Most Rev.
s.. @. Messmer, archbishop Of the Mil
waukee diocese, In a decent address on
"Woman's Rights" Tho archbishop has
placed himself on record as being a
most courageous man. 1t Is unneces-
sary to examine the steps by which he
reached the conclusion recorded above.
1t is enough to know that he was fear
less enough to make 1t public when he
had reached 1t. More timid men will,
in wonder and silence. admire his brand
of courage.
American sporting events abroad are
being won with gratifying regularity
by Americans. The schooner yacht
Westward has a long series of victories
in German waters to her credit; Amer1-
can horses forge to the front every day
so in the big English and French
racing events; Americans are the idols
of the prize ring In Paris. It begins to
look as though those sports for which
certain element IN the United States
are affecting violent opposition may
easily find a haven abroad and a well
come awaiting them.
In announcing his candidacy for the
Democratic gubernatorial nomination
Senator George s. Siizer says: I'VE r

Tux SIX Points More Than 1909.
To the Editor Of the Evening Star:

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
The finance committee of Common
Council made up the tax budget yes
terday, and although cuts were made
in the amounts asked for by city de-
partments, 1t is estimated that the tax
rate will be LOT, six points more than
last year. In the election campaign
last yea the Republicans promised that
If they elected enough aldermen to
control Common Council they would
reduce the tax rate. They have had
entire control of the finances of the
city and the tax rate is increased.
Some of the cuts in appropriations
asked for will be a detriment to the
city. For instance. only $4,000. instead
of So, 1000, is set aside for repairs Of
sidewalks. The condition of the side
walks In every ward is a disgrace to
the city. F~lagstones are broken and
there + holes in the sidewalks. into
which men and women stumble on a
dark night. People have had ankles
twisted and sprained because of these
holes. There may be suits brought
against the city for damages yet If the
sidewalks are not repaired.
