ELECTRIC LIGHT FIXTURES.

In view of the fatal accident to AttoI-
ney Robert A. Lawrence of Rutland
through presumably faulty electric lighl
fixtures, following, too, many similar
accidents in Vermont, it seems to be
necessary to regulate the work of wiring
buildings for electric lights. Not very
long ago like fatality resulted in st.
Adams; and there are frequent instances
in which lesser shocks from the electric
current have been received. 1t has been
suggested to us that in addition to com
potent inspection of all wiring, a prov-
sion ought to be imposed that no button
fixtures be allowed near sinks, bathtubs,
etc. This provision would mean, then,
that wall buttons would be installed, as
are already installed in many buildings
in Barre and other cities. These wall
buttons are removed from the electric
light bulb and wires and are so protected
that the fingers cannot come in contact
with the wires at all. In these days of
multiplying wires, many of them of high
voltage, a precaution of this sort is get.
ting to be absolutely necessary to safety
of the individuals. These wires are like
ly at any time to become crossed with
wires of more voltage and thus greatly
increase the danger to people who are
entirely unconscious of the situation,
just as happened in the case OF Mr.. Law
renee. Then, after this is done, we
need wire inspectors who know their
business and are not afraid to make rec
concentrations as the conditions seem to
warrant.

TEACHING NEWSPAPER WORK.

The new Pulitzer school of journalism
in New York has made a start on its
very important work by choosing Talcott
Williams, who is described by the Spring
field Republican as "a fine example Of
the scholar in journalism, and much
more,' to be director, and Prof. John d.
Cunliffe of the university of Wisconsin
to be assistant director. Like his chief,
Porf. Cunliffe has had experience in jour
nalistie work and will bring valuable
knowledge to his instruction. To round
out we'll balanced faculty, the school
ought to draw some teachers from their
desks in the newspaper offices of the
country, not journalists perhaps, but
plain newspaper men who have gained
their information in the school of hard
knocks from their superiors and alsa
from their readers. In this way the
Pulitzer school of journalism will combine
the theoretical with the practical; and,
of course, the school will publish a news.
paper of it's own, which shall put into
practice all the vital points brought out
in the instruction. In no other way
will the organizers OF the school enable
the institution to fulfill its complete
purpose.

CURRENT COMMENT
Women az IuSgez.

Women have performed very satisfac.
tory jury service in California, even in
intricate cases, where feminine sympa.
thies or prejudiees were not particularly
involved-if indeed women really have
peculiar sympathies or preiudices differ
ent from mems. The California women
jurors have appeared to be fully as capa
Bile as men of taking an impartial view
OF legal disputes even between women
and men.
Not quite so satisfactory is the expert
ence of a Philadelphia magistrate who,
the other day, requested tnree women to
pass sentence upon their husbands, whose
arrest had been caused by the wives
Two of the women told narrowing tales
of marital sufferings which they had en-
dured, but when il came to imposing SEN
tence they relented Each said she would
give her spouse "onc more chance" al.
though the judge demurred at the mis-.
carriage of Justice. The third woman,
however, whose patience had been tried for
II years by a husband who refused 20
support the family, promptly sentenced
him to three months in the house of
correction.
All the women seemed to enjoy their
brief judicial experience, and probably
the justice which they dispensed was as
suitable as any sentence imposed by the
magistrate. Two, at least. of the women
judges are not in danger o. the recall by
their husbands.-Boston Globe.

There have been instances of individual

exceeds all others in magnitude, there

"Roosevelt's Victory"

For many months, what are familiar
| ly known as the peace treaties have
been under consideration throughout the
! country They were in accord with q
plan conceived and carried forward by
! President Taft. They were character
lied by leading men OF this and other
countries as the longest and boldest
steps for universal peace ever taken
| They have been praised most widely
/ Peace societies, in which leading iur-
J lists, educators and business men have
! been most prominent have been most
| prominent, have been formed throughout
the country to give support to this
most advanced movement to eventually
do away with the tremendous burden
of maintaining war equipment through
out the world. New Hampshire's or
ganization was headed by President
Nichols of Dartmouth college. But one
leading citizen of this country was con
spicuous in his opposition, that was
Colonel Roosevelt, the rough rider. The
last New Hampshire legislature unani-
mously endorsed the movement and
praised President Taft for his leader
ship in it.
The treaties came before the Senate
last Thursday for final action on the
question OF ratification. On Friday, the
Boston Journal and the few other pa
pers supporting the candidacy of Col
onel Roosevelt for presidential third
term hoastinglv claimed the failure Of
ratification as Il Roosevelt victory.

his engagement for such campaign work

and five other anti-Taft senators Joined
with the Democrats and defeated rati-
fcation, Had Senator Dixon been con-
sistent in his own action, and not yield
ed to the purpose of his candidate for
the highest official position in the world,
the treaties would have been ratified
and what has been said to be the long
est steps ever taken in the history OF
the world for the cause Of humanity
would have been credited to this gov
eminent, and under the leadership Of
President Taft.
But the treaties failed. The fond
hopes of the peace societies have been
blasted. World peace has received
setback for time. no one knows how
long, because the processes Of treaty
making are slow. The cause of war
and all its costly agencies, both Of main
tenance and destruction, has achieved
triumph. The victory is claimed for
Roosevelt by his closest and most en-
thusiastic friends. The facts will bear
out the claim. Let no one attempt to
it. Roosevelt, whose ambi-
ton for personal and political power
has driven him to assume a npSition
that none Of his predecessors from the
formation Of this government could ever
be induced to take, and in which he
is supported pv some OF the most no.

AGAINST DIVISION.

Jerome, Idaho.
Dear >ir:
\ committee appointed By the
Eden Commercial Club respectfully
request that you print the follow
ing in the next issue Of your paper:
At recent meeting Of the Eden
Commercial Club the question Of
county division came up for discus
sion, and after quite an exchange
Of ideas 1t was unanimously decided
that the members Of the club pres
ent were unalterably opposed to
county division at the present time.
and from an extended canvas Of
this segregation We find that the
feeling Of the people i thoroughly
IN line with that expressed by the
club.
In other matters the Eden Com
mercial Club and the people Of this
tract would be pleased to Cooperate
and work together in the upbuild-
ing Of both this and the Minidoka
tract, but if the people Of the Mini
doka tract are for county division
at the present time, We do not see
our way clear to act with them in
this matter.
