States?
 Recently some startling results have been shown by women at municipal elections. In Milwaukee women voters completely overthrow socialism by electing the non-partisan school and judicial ticket In Colorado Springs, Colo. which for a quarter of a cen- though it is a summer resort with a large transient population, women voted to allow liquor selling and rec ognized clubs and made a majority for this proposition.
 In every case where public improve mentS were an issue the women voted in favor of them; as in Tarrytown, N. r., they voted an issue of Seventy-f1ve thousand dollars in bonds for water works and better fire protection.
 The most recent striking example of the good and moral influence of women voters was demonstrated in Seattle only a few months ago when the women recalled Mayor Hiram c. Gill who, immediately after his elec- tion had allied himself with the vice element of the city, and women by their votes recalled and defeated him.
 Your committee were of the unani- smous opinion that the right of equal franchise should be granted in this State at municipal elections and in reporting favorably on this bill they have done so with the honest belief that should this measure pass this Legislature it will result for the gen. eral good of the people of this con- mon wealth.
 MT. President, I move the acceptance of the committees report and the pas sage of this bill.

ExCommuniCated Priest Attacks
 Catholic Church
Especial from United Press.)

(Sp0Cldl rom On1teu TTeSS.)
 Waterbury, May 24-Church circles today were agitated over last nights near riot at Garden Hall where ex- communicated Italian Bishop Paolo Miraglio delivered an address denounc- ing the Roman Catholic Church, while Rev. Julius Giovanni, assistant at the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes, and dozen partisans repeatedly inter rupted the speaker. When Father Giovanni arrived at the hall with his friends the partisans of the excon- ,nunicated priest tried to discourage Giovannis entering The situation grew threatening and police attracted by the loud talk had to use their clubs to restore quiet.
 The address was delivered under the auspices of the local Savonarola So- ciety, the members of which were aroused over a printed attack on the speaker by Rev. Giovanni. Challenges to debate were exchanged between the two priests, but it is doubtful if the police will allow them to meet in this city,

tariff reciprocity treaties with indi-
vidual countries. Mr.. Amos says:
Reciprocity will not bring to our peo-
pie even a temporary lowering of the
cost of living, not even a temporary
reduction in price Of the necessaries
of life On the other hand, from the
day such tariff arrangement is
enacted between this country and
Canada the tendency will be toward
lower wages. High wages walk hand
I'm hand with high prices. There is
no period of our history in which il
may be shown that high wages pre-
vailed in a period of low prices. The
introduction into this country Of the
agricultural products from the cheap
er and the more productive lands and
the lower priced labor of Canada will
as surely as the sun rises and sets
work a hardship upon our working
man and reduce his wages"

BOARD OF TRADES POSITION.

~ HE very sensible resolutions adopted by our
l. Board of Trade concerning the Canadian
Reciprocity treaty are made the subject of an at
tack by the local free trade newspaper II wants
to know why the Board does not go several steps
farther and advocate reciprocity with other ma
tons with the world in fact.
The Board is on record as favoring reciprocity,
but there is no sufficient reason why il should
enter into general advocacy of reciprocity at this
time That should be reached step by step, If il
is TO be reached az all.
The Board is in line with the sentiment ex-
pressed by other business organizations through
out the country The Board tfuthfully declares
that our greatest present need is exemption from
legislative interference that normal conditions Of
production and distribution may obtain
In other words. we understand IT, the Board
thinks the country should have a rest from dis
turhing tariff agitation such as would surely come
should an attempt be made to knock the protec-
tive tariff system in the head. Business needs
Improvement not agitation.
The Board has taken the stand in favor of the
proposed permanent tariff commission which
should investigate in scientific manner all ques-
tons pertaining TO the tariff and make recommen-
dations for Congress to follow
Nearly all sensible men who have given the
subject any thought know full we'll that this COM
mission plan will be the permanent solution OF the
tariff problem They know that for the country
TO Jump from its present basis to practically free
trade basis would cause great distress by unset
Ting business.
The movement for a permanent tariff board and
a scientific adjustment of tariff schedules is de-
layed because of politics. The Democrats think
there is another victory for them in the tariff agi-
tation. So wh% care they about real and pro-
per adjustment?
Our local Board is in sympathy with this move
ment for a careful and reasonable handling of the
tariff question and not for wild and frantic max
ing OF tariff schedules by incompetent persons.
The real free traders and not so many Of them are
left, are in the class Of others OF one idea who
think that all the evils under which the body poll.
tic suffers can be adjusted by the application OF
their own pet theory. But there is no one theory
OF line of economic practice that could bring the
blessings that all seek for.

JUVENILE COURT.

TT HE large attendance at the meeting in the
J. interest of the Juvenile Court on Thursday
evening shows that there is a real and vital con-
Germ in this movement. Some sort of bill was
passed by the legislature but there was failure
TO provide for paying the Judge. At least small
salary for the Judge should have been a part OF
the BILL No doubt at the next session of the Leg
isature this defect will be remedied.
Persons who take an interest in Social welfare
work in this city very much in earnest in this
matter, and despite the handicap of not being able
to compensate the Judge the court will no doubt
be put in working condition.
There is a fine opportunity for some of our
lawyers to do little charity work by accepting
an appointment to be Judge of the Juvenile Court
Perhaps there could be two Judges if the work
becomes burdensome.
Physicians are accustomed TO give their services
TO hospitals and dispensaries. In fact the large
amount of free work done by highly reputable
physicians is not fully realized by the public. And
often some Of the most ungratefu are those who
are treated free by these physicians
1t would be rather odd for lawyer TO preside
in court without being paid for his services 1t
is not the custom. But possibly an attorney can
be secured who will render his service for a GER
tain period free. IF So hewould be doing a good
thing-aying up treasures where neither moth nor
dust doth corrupt.

GOOD WORDS For WILSON.

4 pleasing the political leaders and the machine
henchmen of his State he is surely deghtng
some Others among them newspaper men. The
newspapers seem to be supporting the Governor
rather strongly. And sometimes the writer's take
the stump for the Governor. For instance, the
Hon. Charles r. Bacon, who in addition TO being
the able New Jersey editor of the Philadelphia
Record holds the important post Of president Of
the National Association of Shell Fish Commits
sioners caused a tumut of applause recently by
praising the Governor AT the meeting of the
Association in Baltimore, Mr.. Bacon came out Of
his shell and said some good things about the
Governor
He (the Governor) is the man Of the hour He
is the man Of the future in all America, the new
kind Of Governor" declared Mr. Bacon.
When Mr.. Bacon further explained that New
Jersey would lend Mr. Wilson to the'people of the
United States for four years as their President,
the applause was renewed. Mr.. Bacon evidently
made hit in Baltimore where the commissioners
met, and we hope the Hon. Tom Ewell, who
should some day be Governor Of MARYLAND, was
present and joined in the applause Perhaps he
discussed the matter with the Hon Charles r.

too late for terrapn

THE H u M A N
PARASITE
BY The REV. r. L. JACKSON

A certain professor of a nearby
University who had maintained mar
velous self-control for several weeks
and abstained from saying anything
startling, broke out the other day 3t
woman's club with the assertion
that the modern woman was parasite.
With the humorous obtusity of some
of his kind he charged the good wo-
men who had been altruistic enough
to turn out to listen to his learned
lucubrations with the sin of parasi-
tism. OF course, they famed cut in
righteous resentment, and he fed in
terror from the scene of his rashness.
While the incident is gradually re-
tiring from the foreground of human
attention II is in order to raise the
query, Why the modern. woman? Why
not also the modern man? Surely IL
is a one-eyed dealing with the facts
TO omit the lords Of creation from
this indictment. The modern woman
may enjoy many q substantial mo-
nopoly, but she certainly does not
enjoy a monopoly of the questionable
business of living at another's ex-
pense as Noah Webster defines par
asitism. We can put our fingers on a
few human parasites Of the male per-
suasion including here and there a
university professor. A few courses
of lectures, scientifically nomencla-
tured, do not necessarily transform a
man into a glorious altruist.
Who is the true parasite of society? +?
When you have named the blase hab-
itues of clubs, the bedizened devotes
of bridge, you have not exhausted the
list. II may include hardworking
men and women, rich and poor, high
and low. The true human parasite Is
the man OF woman whose motto is:
Get as much as you can for as little
as possible The parasites are the
people who keep up an interminable
howl about their rights and glare at
those who talk to them of their duties.
Woodrow Wilson proposed social
ostracism as remedy for the wicked
rich. Let US ostracise the parasite.
Let us loathe him as we loathe his
counterpart in the world of nature.

Manly Minister.
New Orleans picaynne.
There1l be less sleeping done in
future in the First Christian Church
of Los Angeles, because the rector
Just won't stand for It, as is evidenced
by what he did some nights ago. It
seems that the worthy man went into
the pulpit to discourse, when he was
annoyed by two men who were sound
asleep in one of the front pews He
called attention to the fact, and one
of the sleepers was aroused, and did
not transgress again. but his partner
did not wake to the rebuke, and
quietly slept on. The parson became
Indignant, and as he had several hymn
books in the pulpit with him, he
fired one or two at the sleeper, but
without avail, and then he unloaded
all the books he had at the intruder,
10 the astonishment OF the congrega-
tion, who by this time were tittering
at a great rate, but the sleeper didn't
seem to mind it much, for he looked
up. changed his position, and fell
asleep again. This is an astonishing
case, probably unparalleled in his
tory, but Il goes to show that there's
a limit to what preachers wifi stand,
even when they are in the pulpit. And
they are right If a man doesn't
go to church to worship, he should
remain away, and such sacreligious
scamps as sleep, chatter and scandal
ize should be put out

Let the cook tremble The end Of
her reign may be at hand. The help
problem may be solved. II all de-
pends upon the accuracy/of DR. Rob-
ert Bells diagnosis, announced at the
Simple Life Conference in London.
He says we should eat only uncooked
food that not only meats but the
natural" foods, fruits and vegetables
should be served raw. Listen to him.
Man is the only animal who cooks
his food. Among wild animals we
don't find disease, we don't fipd de-
oayed teeth, we don't find cancer. It.
is only in the animals that come in
contact with man that we find dis
ease"
Nor is freedom from disease the
only benefit from eating uncooked
food, according to the doctor. AS a
consequence we will live to greater
ages The natural food" countries
Scandinavia, Hungary and Bulgaria,
he says, are overrun by centenarians,
Bulgaria having nearly 1000, compar-
ed with only rs in pork-eating Ger
many. His reasons for not cooking
food are. that in its natural state il
contains three times the nutritive
value OF cooked food. Therefore, we
have to eat three times as much and
give our digestive organs three times
as much work.

EDITORIAL OPINION

tendency to live in fats increases re-
sort 10 restaurants and the habit Of
attendance on amusements beyond the
home. The strain Of modern social
life is another factor. causing women
to resort to drink as a stimulant for
the purpose Of overcoming fatigue.
The problem of degeneracy is as
complicated as modern civilization,
and it is rarely that a single casual
observer has looked at its origins
from every point of view. There is a
decline of faith which destroys spir-
itual ideals and standards and puts
extravagant values on creature COM
forts and sensual delights. This ae-
counts for the tendency toward de-
generacy in more cases than any 9th
er single cause.
