Pay Fare or Stay at Home.

After requesting a lay-off they can
never tell just what day the company Will
relieve them. Usually they never Know
until the relief man steps up and intro
duces himself. Then, II he has TO take II
up with the president for transportation,
1t will be from three to fifteen days be-
fore he can get IL. In this way he loses
large part of his vacation time laying
around waiting for his pass. II the dis
lance be short he would prefer to bay
his fare than to lose all that time. He
would make money by 1t.
Many times an employe sees an oppor-
tunlty to take short trip without the
necessity Of having a man to relieve him,
but he has no pass, and the only way he
can get one is to write 10 the president,
usually hundreds, and sometimes thous-
ands OF miles away. The opportunity
passes before he can get his request in
the mail Sometimes II is a matter OF
urgent business and they are compelled
to go on short notice. In such cases
they have TO either pay their fares-few

ductor his job and reputation by hunting

Effect of the Rule.


On its face this ruling seems very in
nocent, and destined to accomplish much
good by making II impossible for anyone
to unlawfully obtain and use free trans
portaton. We much doubt II It will
ever accomplish this, or any part Of It.
But even granting that It will accomplish
all they expect OF It, does the end justify
the means? We think not, and with good
reasons
II is true that this ruling does not ac-
tually forbid the use of passes by en-
ployes. but it has SO restricted and handi-
capped them in getting free transporta-
ton that, In effect, II amounts to pro-
hibitlon.
As all, familiar at all with the railroad
employe, may know, railroads have no
set rule permitting their employees to
have vacations 1t is within the province
OF superlors to refuse or grant Vaca-
tions. Each request for a vacation is
considered and decided according to cir
cumstances, and about the only consider
alton seems to be the companys con-
venience. II they happen to have man
handy to relieve him he may get away.
This is the usual case with all classes of
employees With the employe whose
duties are of a technical nature II is
usually months. and sometimes from one
to three years. before the company sees
tit to relieve him. Sometimes II is be-
cause they are unable to pick up a man
competent to perform the duties of the
position, but II is, in most cases, their
indifference to their employees welfare

Recently the various railroad officials
sent out a circular letter containing in
structions for the future guidance OF all
railroad employees when requesting trans
portaton for themselves or families. It
informs us that these instructions were
handed down to them by the Interstate
Commerce commission, and, in substance,
are as follows:
That all requests for transportation
must be made in writing, either with dur
able ink, or with a typewriter; they
must give the names and ages of chill
dren; that the only persons authorized
to issue passes will be the presidents of
the railroads; and that all requests for
passes must be sent TO them by mail;
that the only exception to these instruc-
lions is a provision supposed to cover
cases of extreme sickness, or death"

THE RIGHT OF A CITY TO MANAGE ITS
 DOMESTIC AFFAIRS
(Hartford Courant.o

Bridgeport has been petitioning the General Assembly for the privilege of choosing the directors of it's Public Library in a certain manner What nonsensei The idea that commun- fty of the size of Bridgeport does not know enough to manage its petty fn- ternal a*at~s without ge tne perrnis- sion from the Legislature (which can know nothing like so much about them) is rank absurdity. We are glad to note from many signs that the .>-o- pie are getting tired of running up to Capitol Hill to ask leave to do one thing and another which they ought to have the right to do if they wish without asking anybody else. These petty details coming before the General Assembly make the strongest argu- ment for a uniform city charter law. The Courant has not been especially eager to see such a law adopted, hold ing that cities are too different to be subject to a common law But people are a good deal alike wherever they may live, and the right to manage their own affairs should be granted to them without any by-your-leave from outside.

4 BIG DAY FOR WOMEN VOTERS

In cities where women hold the right cf suffrage, Tuesday was a great day for them- Their principal achieve :nent was to defeat Socialist candi- dates for the School Board in Mill waukee which has a Socialist Mayor and Is classed as Socialist city. Whether this means that Socialism and Woman Suffrage are mutually anta gonistic does not appear, though the surface indication is that. however the Socialists may feel. the woman suffragists are hostile to their cult.
 With one exception-Morristow N. J.-the women elected their candidates dor members of School Boards in all the cities holding elections in which they could vote This is quite nat ural, as women take probably greater interest in schools than in any other public institutions.
 The women. voters appear also to. f-vor public improvements. In one city. they carried a proposition for the issuance of water bonds, and in an other. propositions for issuance of bonds for dock and a steam fire en- zine. all of which were opposed by the male voters. Cynics might say that non-taxpaying women did not realize that bonds represent money and must eventually be paid. but as matter of fact. many women are tax payers. though perhaps not a major tty of them. But, if these elections furnish an indication of feminine sen- timent, women favor liberal public improvements.
 Not the least noteworthy of the women's achievements occurred in Ta- coma, Wash, where they voted that "saloonkeepers be forbidden to accept money from any person treating an- other in their places of business" Women everywhere are probably op- posed to Urea ting'; it is almost wholly masculine custom. They are also opposed generally to the ~'tipping' system. and if it should ever come before them as did the treating question in Tacoma, it would .undoubt- edly meet a similar fate.
 Doubtless, feminine sentiment is about the same elsewhere as in the Wisconsin, Washington, New York and New Jersey cities where women vot-' CTS achieved the results above stated.

SYMPATHY OF KING EDWARD
story OF His Visit to a Sick Officer
Who Wanted to Hear Monarch's
Voice Once More.

Lord Burnham, speaking at a meet.
Ing to consider the question of a me-
mortal to King Edward in Windsor.
told the following story:
Not long before the Kings death
there lay in King Edwards hospital
for officers, an officer who it was
thought could not survive a serious
operation. The king was coming to
the hospital to pay one of his quiet
visits and the patient, who heard that
ne was expected and was almost too
weak to speak, said it would be a
great happiness to him If he could
hear his voice. He asked Sister
Agnes, the manager, if 1t would be
possible for her to talk to King Ed
ward outside the open door.
Sister Agnes said she would try to
do what he wished, and having in due
course led the king there she told him
what her purpose had been. In mo.
ment King Edward went through the
door to the bedside of the sick man.
held his hand for a long time and
spoke to him words of sympathy and
counsel. When he had finally said
goodbye he walked slowly to the win
dow and looked out upon-well. he
looked out upon nothing, for tears
were rolling down his cheeks. He
then silently left the room.

The Man and the Likeness.

The obstinate refusal of the every.
day man to sit for his picture is almost
humorous in its dogged sincerity. And
right here, 1t might not be out Of
place to state that the brusque. good
natured modesty of man on these lines
is a thousand times more sincere and
4-eartfelt than the very evident de.
mureness of the more comely sex. But
think a moment, men. The portrait
may not mean much now, but in years
to come, after the lines and shadows
have deepened, perhaps it will make
your heart young to look upon a faith
full likeness of yourself when you were
debonair, dashing young sapling.
And, no doubt. even at present there
are a score of dear ones who would
give much to possess your picture.
