Greenwich, Conn, yesterday and near

that is. they complicated matters so
that the farmers didn't know whether
1t was their W function or a rally of
the equal franchisers they were at
tending. The two speakers of the day
declared unequivocally for votes for
women" thereby proving themselves
the equal of the best pitchers in the
big leagues in the matter of getting
out of a bad hole. The candidate is
the only man who cannot meet such a
situation with the that
he has seen the equal franchise light,
as such a statement would be held to
bind him as a pledge. II this incident
Is indicative of Unusual suffragist ac-
tivity this fall. no aspirant for Office
may expect to tread a path Of roses.
"A business man may do just as he
likes in his business, but not as a
mayor or in any public Office. There he
is a mere instrument to carry out the

law" writes Mayor Gaynor in a maya
zine article in which he attempts to
explode the popular theory that "a
business man should be selected to run
the city government as he runs his
own business" Mayor Gaynor, better
han any other man. has demonstrated
that he realizes there are legal limita-
ions to his authority, beyond which he
cannot and does not care to go. He has
shown also that he knows how to use
to the full the power which the law
has bestowed upon him.
1t has been decided, apparently. iD
the Republican seats of the mighty,
that the best tariff law ever passed
isn't quite good enough after all, at
least for campaign purposes. Piecemeal
revision, this time downward" is to
be promised by Republican orators dur
ing the coming campaign. The word
has gone out from no less a person
than President Taft himself, he who
professed to be so well satisfied with
the Payne-Aldrich measure. It was
because this professed satisfaction was
not reflected by the country, with the
exception Of certain favored spots,
that the necessity for a little more
promising became glaringly apparent.
Will the proposed college of millinery,
If established in this country, have a
tendency to enhance or modify the
bizarre in style? VIII h~at-building
education aim at novelty or useful
ness? VIII the rah, rah girls of the
lid school look toward Paris as their
mecca or endeavor to develop an Amer
lean brand Of thatches which will one
day become a standard for the world?
These questions arise naturally and
n%eryousiy at the announcement of the
plan of the National Association of Re-
tail Milliners to found a college either
in Chicago or New York.
Ample opportunity for heroism and
to duty are afforded In time
of peace, and no more gallant struggle
against OuQS was cf6I Wd6Cd thoh
that one against the great forest fires
Of the Northwest, where over a hum
dred forest rangers lost their lives.
These men died for their country as
truly as those who persisted on the field
of battle. It was a veritable valley
of death" that many were led into, and
they knew 1t, but orders were orders
and they did not stop to question
them.
The fortune-teller is figuring promi-
nently in the days news, and undoubt-
eddy to his profit. Few unusual TRACE
dies or windfalls are recorded which
had not been 'foretold" by some more
or less well-known ~forecaster, who is
not in the business for his health. 1t is,
perhaps, unfortunate that more of the
which are being SO miracu-
lousy fulfilled are not heard of before
the event transpires. But this is, of
course, a minor detail. No seer who
valued his reputation would say he had
foretold that very thing to the hour
and minute unless it was strictly true.
