They rode several blocks with no change ln their attitude. Then Mrs. Joyce. glanciug out of the window on the opposite side from her and incl dently stealing look at her husband. was dumfounded to find him deeply immersed in his newspaper. That he should calmly read when she was angry and had refused to become reconciled was an unheard of thing in their lives It did not reduce her orig inal dlsp'easure any degree.
 She stood 1t as long as she could, then she burst out: T wish you would not sprawl all over the seat that wayi"
 "Eh ?" said Joyce. who was not as deeply interested in what he was reading as a casual observer might have imagined.
 T said I wish you would sit ID ir your seat and not crowd me so.' Mrs Joyce's voice was as cool and tinkling as ice.
 Joyce moved over and gave her half of his third of the seat. Then she exclaimed: Its the last time I'll come to the park with you, staring al strange women as you were and hu initiating mel"
 Doing what?" asked Joyce, genu inely surprised.
 Now. that's right; pretend you don't know what I mean. You know you stared at that blonde woman in blue till she grinned right in my face!"
 Esther, what iP the name of Moses are you talking about?"
 "Oh, you know as we'll as I do responded Mrs, Joyce.
 q certainly do not. But fl you think I was staring or even lookins at some other woman you are muci mistaken" Joyce knew from expert ence just the kind of time be would have if this thing was allowed to run on.
 Louis Joyce, do you mean to tell me that you did not stare at that fai blonde with the blue hobble and tho 1 French heeled puInr5 and the low neck that she ought to be ashamed to wear even in ballroom? Now don't tell me you did not see her, for l saw you looking right at her" Joyce had seen her and she did not exactly fit his wife's description but he felt that he must settle this matter at once.
 "Oh," he said. Do you mean that fat. red-headed woman with the three chins and the duck wsddle? or course saw her. but I never thought you would accuse me of staring at a ] .u-ru.-n.. niL-n Ahna Enn nafah-I 4

WOMEN IN POLITICS

Not too hastily should the lordly male in Connecticut predict that wo- -ren yearn to vote only tn be disap- pointed in their ambition for the franchise. Reforms som metimes arrive b. the numbers of those behind them. They also a- times come through social prestige and influence cf limit ed and exclusive groups
 The converts of the male sex that the women of Bridgeport produced upon the occasion of their first public demonstration are scarcely men noted for taking the sentimental view. Nathaniel Bishop, Col. N. G. Osborne, C. B. Read, William T. Hincks and & T. Davis, IT,. are certainly practi- cal men of affairs Yet they are yariously reported as declaring that Connecticut must be the first Eastern state to give the full franchise to wo- man: that they want votes for women because their wives want votes for women. But let no man tremble. Section 2 of Article Six of the constitution confers the ballot up- on males only and, since the constitution cannot be amended ex- cept upon the approval of 8 majority ! of the voters, who are all men, wo- men cannot vote unless men permit.
 But there is peril.
 It may happen, when the time ar rives that the men will desire to vote against equal suffrage.
 And perhaps their wives won't let them
 If the political dominance of the male is threatened. it is by married men. The single men might organize to offset tke weakness of their welded brethren.

BRIDGES AND SIX CENT
 FARES

Bridgeport, through its Common Council, has asked the General As sembly to make a law requiring troll ley companies to pay portion of the cost of new bridges hereafter erected by any city or town, when such bridge is used by the cars of any such com nany The bill. as drawn by the city attorney, also provides that such >-rIpsn,es shah pay a tair share of me cost of maintaining and operating any such. New Haven has joined with Bridgeport in demanding the passage of the bill.
 At the hearing before the Commit tee on Roads Rivers and Bridges, in Hartford, the bill was opposed by two of Mir Mellen's vice presidents, one an officer of the Connecticut Com pany, and the other an officer of the New Haven railroad. which owns the Connecticut Company.
 During the course of the argument one of these gentlemen remarked

THE WEPAWAUG GRAB

Milford is in arms because the New Haven Water Company has secured the Wepawaug river, stream that is one of the adornments of the an- cient and beautiful town.s The civic associations of Milford are now trying to secure the repeal of the legislation by which the grant was given to the water monopoly They justly com plain that the gift" was secured by --devious'' ways and without the knowledge of the citizens.
 The New Haven Water company is a prMate- monopoly: It shares with the Bridgeport company the distinc- tion of being one of eight or ten pri- vate companies in the United States still permitted to supply cities as large as Bridgeport and New Haven are.
 Like all such monopolies, its aim seems to be to acquire control of all possible sources of supply. The New Haven company apparently has found all the aassistance it needs in the Gen. eral Assembly, which has ever been prodigal of the property of the cities and towns and willing to fill the pockets of the public services with perpetual franchises and valuable public rights which ought to be for the use and profit of the people them selves
 Milford citizens do we'll to demand the revocation of this latest act au- thorizing the larceny of a public value.
 The town might also consider the advantages of engaging with the peo- pie of New Haven to municipalize the New Haven Water company for the purpose of establishing a water dis trict- Under this system the streams in New Haven county would be for the use of all the citizens, and all the people alike would share in the bene- fits of public ownership, and enjoy the beauty of water courses, improved and managed by the public for .he public.

trolley fares may be raised to six cents in case the state requires the companies to pay their share toward the cost of new bridges.
 This argument, or threat, which ever it was, shows that MT. Mellen's subordinates have not made them selves familiar with his views regard ing over capitalization.
 Again and again has the able head of the great railroad system said that with each other, and that higher rates are never charged to pay divi- dends on fictitious capital.
 But if the trolley companies of the state are unable to pay their share toward the bridges used in their traf- fife it is precisely because they are enormously over capitalized, for the profits of the trolley business in dense- ly populated Connecticut are simply enormous.
 Almost 40 per cent. of every five cent fare is profit. and goes to mak e surplus, or to pay interest or divi- dends, or some form of profit to in- vestors.
 The report of the railroad commis- cess of operating income of these roads over operating expenses was s3,100,000, large proportion of which was earned in the two cities which are especially interested in the bill.
 Says the Supreme Court of the United States, in Smith vs. Ames: eff 8 railroad corporation has bonded its property for an amount that exceeds it's fair value, or if it's capitalization is largely fictitious, it may not inn pose upon the public the burden of such increased rates as may be re- quired for the purpose of realizing profits upon such excessive fictitious capitalization
 This is a doctrine that the courts have restated in many decisions.
 Therefore if the trolley companies of Connecticut find themselves in position where they are unable to meet the just demands of the public, the remedy will be, not to increase fares, but to reduce capitalization to normal proportions.
 There will be no six cent fares in Connecticut, though there may be four cent fares in, Bridgeport, since Waterbury already enjoys four cent fares.
 Was not the payment the New Ha- ven Road made toward the cost of the Congress street bridge an ad- mission as to the justice of the meas ure under discussion?
 Why should. Bridgeport, or any other city, be required to build more expensive structures than it needs for its own traffic, for the use of cars which bring to the Connecticut com pany extraordinary profits?
