THE ELKS' MEMORIAL

The annual Memorial service nf Bridgeport Lodge of Elks,@ Sunday evening, brought the large attendance which has always greeted these ser vices Men strive, to keep their mem ories green. The record of human effort in this direction is in the age old pyramids and myriad multitudes of monuments where the dead lie en- tombed. No record in stone can long be effective to recall a personality that has passed on. It is conceivable that the memorial service of such an Organization as the Elks may have clements of permanence not existing in. builded monuments. Who can tell? The ancient societies were transient. The modern states may also be as shadows in a mirror. At least the Elks insure their dead per petuation in the minds of those who knew and loved them, which is much.

ed morally by the great majority of the people of the country. Nothing will lead to permanent peace between these three countries quicker than the ratification of these treaties"
 Professor Rogers said there was no question but that the public wanted the treaties ratified, but added that public opinion did not always count in the consideration of a measure be- fore the Senate. He referred to the rejection of the treaty of 1897 as an examp-e, and said that the motives that do, and should move the Senators are not always the same. He said that the committee on Foreign Rela- tions in the Senate had, he believed, been accused justly of pettifogging the case.
 Continuing, Professor Rogers said that the treaties as indorsed by Presi- dent Taft do not involve the rights of has declared, and this, he asserted, goes to show that Taft is right and Lodge is wrong" Dean Rogers quoted Senator Root, Governor Baldwin, Jo- seph H. Choate, Secretary Knox and others we'll versed on constitutional that the treaties are not in violation of the constitution of the United States.
 Dr. Abbott made a strong plea for international peace from the stand point of justice, saying that war was never, has and never can determine what is justice. but which is the more powerful in a conflict between two na- tions. He declared there was a better way to settle the difference between two nations, that being the rule of reason, not the rule of force. Never again. said Dr. Abbott, will there be another Caesar, another Alexander or another Napo2eon. They have been banished by growing moral sense and a growing public opinion
 Dr. Jordan urged Yale men to write to their Senators asking them to work for the cause of international peace by their votes in the Senate on the ar- bitration treaties. ''The moral sense of the nation is against war;" he said. He cited the conditions in European countries as result of great war debt and said that it was impossible for country to rise to it's oppOrtuni- ties under such conditions

in getting the vote out" but Mrs. Dodge believes in training women of her class not to vote.
 Is this such statesmanship as~ene would expect from the daughter of statesman?
 Six states have admitted women to the ballot. Other states soon will do so. The agitation for votes for wo- men is general throughout the coun- try. AS nearly as human foresight can determine women are going to have the ballot everywhere. The stars in their courses treat Mrs. Dodge as they did Sisera.
 The mere doubling of the vote is of no consequence if the proportions in which it is cast remain the same The Society Opposed to Woman Suf- frage evidently believes in training ITS SHARE of the coming electorate to stay at home.

Governor Baldwin Asks Sigma lures to Petition to Be Sent to Senate FavOring Ar

New Haven, Dec. A large gather ing of Yale men and New Haven citi- zens heard pleas for international peace and a strong indorsement of ar bitration treaties between the United States and Great Britain and France, last night. The speakers were Cover nor Simeon E. Baldwin, the Rev. Ly- man Abbott, David Starr Jordan, president of Leland Stanford (Jr) University, and Henry Wade Rogers, dean of the Yale Law School
 Governor Baldwin presided and urged all present to sign their names to cards passed among the audience, which, in the shape of a petition, will be presented to the United States Sen ate approving of the arbitration trea- ties. Ut seems certain,'' said Cover nor Baldwin, that arbitration trea ties are warranted by the constitution and that the movement for a settlement of differences by that means is support

 The statute further provides, that, if a new bridge is deemed necessary the cost shall be EQUITABLY DIV IDED between any trolley company using the bridge and the city owning the bridge, this being an amendment to the law passed by the last Gen eral Assembly, the original bill being formulated by City Attorney Cullinan, under resolution introduced into the Common Council by Alderman Eu- gene l.. Meyer. Its passage in the present form was secured by the Bridgeport delegation in the Genfral Assembly, led by Rep. W. W. Bent.
 Bridgeport in following the course that it has pursued in connection with the East Washington avenue bridge has saved itself many thou sands of dollars
 What possible objection can Capt. Waldron have to this, and why should he cause the announcement ,o be made to Congress, that Bridgeport does not desire harbor improve ments?

 The building should be firepronf. and this would seem to call for mod ern steel frame and concrete or brick curtain construction.
 The community that erects a school .house with primary regard to ornamentation, neglecting in any de- gree the clements of fire risk, ven- tilation and lighting is trading the health and we'll being of children for meretricious follies.
 Any steel and brick, or concrete building that is constructed for spaciousness, with the highest utility in view, is almost certain to be as pleasing from the artistic standpoint as sthe old colonial architecture, which was noble because it was per meated with the idea of use.

The Bridgeport Telegram, in per tinent editorial, criticises the abrupt and undiplomatic language of Capt. A. E.. Waldron, who. discussing the channel in the Pequonnock River at East Washington avenue bridge, says that he will be compelled to recom- mend a very strenuous statement to the Secretary of War. calling the at tention of Congress to the fact that the people of Bridgeport do not care 9or any improvement in their har- bor,' an accusation that would be without warrant in fact.
 There is some evidence upon>which to base a suspicion that United States engineers sent to these waters have been badly advised by Bridgeport citizens. Yet such advice does not justify the sort of language these of ficers have been in the habit of using in their communications to Bridge port. Such officers are in effect en-

She then expressed the fear that the poorer class of people, whom she described as immigrants would have too much of the voting power. Hence she thinks women ought not to vote.
