Women in Reforms.

Women in Reforms.
Baltimore American.
Maryland women have hue opportu-
nifty 10 demonstrate their scrviceable re-
lations TO the state. The womens clubs
as represented by the leaders in Mary
land hayo been thoroughly organized for
effective prosecution of measures look
ing TO the reform of the state IN matters
that relate 10 the social and educational
well being of the people. This was set
forth very clearly in the address of Mrs.
William NJ. Ellicott before the Maryland
Federation of Women's Clubs
Maryland is not state i'm which the
employment Of women has become
vast industrial problem. Yet here. as
elsewhere, the woman i'm industry is one
of the most important facts Of social con
sequence. Tho conditions OF labor Of the
sex, the requirements for sanitation, for
child rearing and for the aliieviation OF
actual want are some Of tho phases that
interest the women of Maryland in
public matters. The moral condition Of
the women of the state i'm relation TO
the questions that bear upon the female
sex have engaged the attention Of the
common purpose should be tho securing
Of the ballot. without which there can
be no assurance of depth Of reform in
the class Of matters tnat directly inter-
ests the women Of tho state. The ladies
are inclined 10 center their efforts upon
the city, leaving TO the state organization
the reformations that are sought in the
state at large. The department that related
TO the foods Of the people, TO their proper
| housing and the like, more vitally affect
the women than the mon, and the interest
OF the ladies in such matters is highly
creditable 10 them. II is TO be hoped that
despite their failure 20 have passed theh
city or state bills, the ladies interested in
securing the ballot will apply themselves
with the best energy possible for the bet
terment Of conditions needing reform.

CORPORATIONS WIN AGAIN.

II HE expected thing has happened IN Penn
4 sylvana The Supreme Court Of that
state has rendered decision sustaining the Phil
sdelphia Rapid Transit Company in its abolition
OF the six-for-a-quarter ticket Just those
familiar with the courts way of thinking believed
ii would do
The decision will affect the trolley companies
in Chester where that form of fare still prevails.
The Supreme Court rules that the strip ticket IS
simply a favor to the public on the part of the
transportation company and not fixed rate. II
we recall correctly, Judge Endch, of the Berks
county court, ruled just the reverse, and the
Reading iurist is regarded by most lawyers as
the equal of any Justice on the Supreme bench
OF Pennsylvania.
There is some alarm in Chester because Of
fear that the strip tickets will be abolished and
a straight fare charged When the franchise
was granted the Chester company it was stipu
lated that the fare within the city limits should
be FIVE cents. Later the strip tickets were
offered voluntarily by the company.
The Chester Times hopes that the company
will not take advantage of the decision of the
court and abolish the strip tickets. The COM
pany has given no intimation that IT will change
its practice. And If the new syndicate gets
control OF the trolley line in this city and in
Chester it will hardly deem it advisable to stick
up the fares at once.
The decision Of the Supreme Court of Penn
sylvania must be another shock to those who
have been fighting the Philadelphia Rapid Tran
sit Company Perhaps thev are disgusted with
the court. They ought TO be.
It is strange, but decisions of the Pennsylvania
courts always seem to favor the corporations.
The people do not have ? look-n They arc
now placed in the position of suppants before
the Transit Company the same position as that
held by the people of Delaware in their rela-
tions with any trolley or railroad company.
Some day but il looks as if that day was far
distant, the people OF Pennsylvania may decide
70 take the reins of government from the hands
OF the predaoeous corporations
But it must be confessed that there is nothing
70 indicate that Pennsylvanians are weary Of
such rule as they have been getting. If these
continual rebufs BY the courts and the exper-
fences during the disastrous strike do not arouse
the residents of Pennsylvania to a consideration
e these matters. we don't know what viii

a bad effect on budding characters.
Before marriage is the time to think,

"There would not be so many tickets

Such are the reflections Of Mrs Silver

and writer, but one who ought to know,
for she is a happily married woman.
Nowadays" Mrs. Grimes says, "the
majority of women marry for money,
or for pleasure, OF because they are
afraid of becoming old maids. Do
you wonder that there arc so many
divorces and that married life is not
what it should be?
"Unless a woman loves a man and
has similar tastes and interests in life,
she should NOT take the matrimonial
step.

KENT POLITICAL GOSSIP.

- HE Dover Republican remarks that former
4 Senator Richard r. Kenney is playing
lone hand this time, but it is a strong one. He
knows how to deal the cards, all right, adds the
Republican.
This report. if correct, and we have rea-
son to doubt it, is interesting and indicates that
the Saulsbury-Kenney pact has been broken and
each former member will go il on his own hook.
If General Kenney is playing lone hand, it
also shows that he is not in sympathy with the
double team of Wolcott and Sapp which is wag-
ing war on the apple king and various Others in
Kent And Mr. Kenney IS not lining UP with
Alexander NJ Daily, who had often played a lone
and sometimes successful hand in Kent county.
In accordance with custom, the Kent men this
time are out of the fight as New Castle county
will demand the Senator. But when General
Kenney was chosen Senator it was a surprise to
the old time leaders, not one of whom thought
he had ghost o6a chance
The NATURAL tfing for the Kent Democrats to
do is to wait rhtil the expiration OF the term OF
Senator Richardson BY that time there will
be a big fray of Democratic Senatorial aspir-
ants, sss{ possibly Mr. Stayton will be in the
race. Mr.. Kenney surely is not working with a
view to being elected Senator by the next Legis-
lature He is looking ahead and placing wires
so that he can pull them two years hence

PARTISAN FEELING.

" ERY often the typical man who woeks at
the polls during the political fght-the
ward workers. the political dandies who want
other fellows to do the work while they get the
offices call hn--is considerable of philosopher.
lie is always interesting because he is 'cose to
the people" He knows what they are thinking
about and if the man at the polls has keen
sense of humOr or any sense of humor he must
enjoy his political experiences. He always has
plenty of them to talk about.
Just now he is somewhat puzzled. If a Re
publican, he doesn't like the idea of split in
the Republican party. the conflict between the
insurgents and the regulars the stand-patters.
And if he has been reading the magazines or
voluminous dispatches from Washington, the
at the polls will be insurgent in
sympathy, although his insurgency in Delaware
at least, will disappear when the State Conven-
ton shall have met
If Democrat, the typical man has been dis
gusted with City Council and with the warfare
between the two wings of the Democratic party.
The man at the polls has stuck by his job for
some years. During the Bryan campaign he has
been there while the leaders grinding
knives to stick into the Bryan men or con-
terring with railroad magnates to know how to
run political convention. And he sees the old
time Democrats about to ride into control of the
party again. Perhaps he may pin his faith TO
John G. GRAY who stuck TO the Bryan wagon
and was not even ured away by the Judge Gray
Presidential hubbub
But the men at the polls arc puzzled more by
what they say is a lack of interest in political
matters displayed by the young folks How
excited thev say. men used to become over the
merits of this and that political leader and while
the two leaders I'm question were probably drink
ing their highballs in the club together their
followers in the old days would hardly be on
speaking terms. What a bluff game it was.
There are, however. some really good reasons
why partisan feeling has somewhat abated in
Delaware I'm the old Democratic davs which
Democratic newspapers arc now trying to de
fend it was often extremely hard for A Young
Republican to vote. The Democrats had the
election machinery and through manipulation
and chicanery of tax collectors who avoided their
duty, hundreds of young Republicans were kept
from voting. What exciting times there were
and fierce denunciationS
With the rise of the Republicans 10 power all
that has been changed. There is free ballot a
fair count. There is no reason why any one
should be angry because he cannot vote Young
voters forget this. They are oblivious of the
benefits conferred by the Republicans 1t would
be well for them to recall these matters as they
think Of the next election.
The Democrats are expressing desire to re-
turn to the old times. And sample of Demo-
cratic rule displayed by Council shows that
If the Democrats are anxious to scrap among
themselves, what would they do to the Re
publicans If they had the power and control OF
the State? It wouldn't be long before they
would attempt TO arouse the old time partisan
feeling.

would be interesting to know Just what they
mean by socialism, whether they regard it as a

whether they are speaking of the doctrine which
