PENsIoNING PRESIDENTS.
 (Etamford Advocate.o

Carnegie's latest money-move is a truly singular and unexpected one, and can hardly be regarded from any point of view as of much general public value, though 1t is unique enough to insure celebrity to it's creator Through the Carnegie Corporation, of New York, he has established an endowment for future retired Presidents Of the United States and their widows. The endowment. 1t is said. will furnish in comes of $25, 900 a year to tke bene- hciarfes. The announcement Is put in this way: Provision has been made through this Corporation for a pension fer each future ex-President and his widow, unmarried, of $25, ,000 year, as long as these remain unprovided for by the nation, that they may be able to spend the latter part of their lives devotfng their unique knowledge gain ed of public affairs to the public good free from pecuniary cares.' There does not seem to be much for the general public in that arrangement.

EQUAL sUFFRAGIsTs DIVIDE.
tNew Haven Journal-Courier.)

(NeW Haven JOurnaf-COuT1er.)
 It is not clear that the division in the National American Suffrage asso- cia,tion convention. sitting in Philadel- pflia, was clear test of the principle under consideration. The principle was offered in the form of a resolution that equal suffragists should refrain from an active partisan alliance in states where the ballot has not already been granted. Jane Addams of Chi cago opposed the resolution and the defeat of the measure suggests strong iy that the outcome was more of a vote of confidence in her than a test of the principle.
 The principle is evidently sound one. It rests upon the theory that the ballot will be brought much nearer in the states which have not yet acted nothing to irritate the men voters of any party It IS a canny idea. as the Scotch would say. But 1t happens that the state of Illinois has not grant that did not deter Jane Addanas from throwing herself heart and soul into the progressive movement. IL does not appear that the authors of the resolution had Miss Addanae in mind when they offered it. but her atti- tude towards 1t suggested to the con- vention that she was being rebuked and for that 1t would not stand The resolution was overwhelmingly defeat ed. There is nothing to show that the resolution would not have been accept ed had Miss Addams kept stiu
 It Is interesting to observe that pretty nearly the same emotions and passions are excited in a convention of women as are excited in a conven- at least have that much in common. The fundamental principle at stake Is often lost sight of in controversy into which the personal note has been thrust. That Miss Addams did not see the point of the resolution Is 8 bit surprising.

As punishment for stat utory crime the dissolution proved g. boon to the criminal exceeding the ut most stretch of the imagination.

THE WEsTPoRT WRECK.

Tine report of the Public Utilities Commission is in keeping with it's record
 ter. in which seven persons were killed. concludes with tiny order. containing but one consequential point
 The switch beyond the Saugatuck depot at which the wreck occurred, is ordered out. It is further ordered that trains of the high speed type shall full stop at short crossovers.
 The insufficiency- of this order may he measured against the recommen- aation% of Coroner John I. PheIan, who dzvided the remedies sligg gested in his report into two elassesa one class of which is des1gned to prevent vrecks occurring, and the other class to minimize the deaths and injuries that result when wrecks do occur.
 In the first class are the coroner's recom1aendations for long crossovers. full steps and automatic train stops.
 In the second class aeeShis recom- mendations for larger train crews. steel coaches, and simpler fire extin- guishers.
 The Investigation of the Public Util- ities Commission was made through it's chief engineer, c. c. ElwelI. who accepts all of MT. Phelan's reeornmen- dations to prevent wrecks. and ig- nores all of his suggestions to lessen the evils that accompany wrecks.
 But the commission, in making an order. ignores half of the suggestions of its own engineer, and nearly all of the Recommendations of Coroner Phelan. g
 Mr. Eiwen recommends taking out the saugatuck switch. long crossovers, automatic train stops and fun stops before trains enter crossoTers. -
 The commission has nothing to say about larger train crews,.or steel cars. or simpler nre' sextinguishers.
 The Merchants Express was made up of steel cars. and the deaths were none and the injuries diminished.
 Tn the wreck at Westport four wo- men burned to death, while the rem nants of the train crew were scatter ed to flag zother trains. and the ex- tinguishers which might have been us- ed were not. So the four women died in the fire.
 But steel cars would have irnpeded or prevented the fire altogether, and of a larger crew, some would have re- r.ained to give assistance.
 Tho power of the commission is ample.y Section IS. of the statute, makes 1t a duty to keep informed'' as to the plant and equipment of rail roads, and to make, upon it's own inf- tiative, such orders as are necessary flor the safety of the public'' and eor s-the empIoyes'' of railroad com paniexs
 The commission, apparently excus- ing it's neglect in failing to provide safeguards following the lessons of the Federal wreck, says that it, the commission, twas not then in. exist znce.'
 It was not, but the railroad con- rsaissis1 was and the members of the railroad commission were, and they were and are the same men who are now members of the Public Utilities Commission.
 There is little more to be said. Tne thing speaks for itself.

AT THE tNUSE-J.

Blanche Walsh will appear in nov ing pictures today and tomorrow at the Amuse-U Theater. The vehicle of her talent in this case is Tolstols Resurrection, said by many critics to he the most inspiring drama ever written. This is the greatest drama ever set for moving pictures, and is said to have cost more than S5O,O0O imperial Russian troop of dancers, and is most entrancing from start to finish.
 Here is a great play and one which may rank with the finest of it's kind for a long time to come. It is highly dramatic in the best sense of that Word-it offers a series of rapid and startling changes in character deep- ly affected by circumstances, and it leads through powerful situations to a noble continuation.
 Producers, directors and actors contributing to the success of this great four-reel play are to be con- graduated. The complete sum of spirit of Tolstol has resulted in a production so finished that it may be said to herald the future photOdrama
 The play is wonderful story in which Tolstol struck hidden key The production is one which shows much thought and knowledge of the requirements of picture presentation and it is rarely that a play is seen upon the screen in which the play of both play and players blend in such a complet eand compelling harmony

studying in Florence, Boccaccio was apprenticed to a merchant in Paris, where he remained six years. At 28 he went to Naples, where King Robert of Anjou was patron of learning. and there Boccaccio was launched on his literary career He became close friend of Petrarch and other men of letters. In Naples, too, he became the lover of a lady of royal birth whom he has immortalized as F'iametta. Many conjectures have been made as to the identity of his mistress, but there is little proof to support any of the theories.
 Friars and monks figured not at all creditably in many of the tales of the Decameron, and this led to the sup preston of the work, and of the ori- gina1 edition only one perfect copy now exists. The first complete edi- ton in English was brought aout in 1920 by I. Jaggard, the printer of the First Folio of Shakespeare, but the in ture began much earlier
 Beccaccio never married, but he had numerous love affairs, besides the one with the royal La Fiametta, and was the father of several natural children. It is probable that not few of the gallant and amoroue adventures set forth in the Decameron were based on the personal experiences of the author. With all its faults, the Decameron de- serves the title given it by the pub fisher of the first English edition:
