DEMAND OF WOMEN FOR REPRESENTATION ON
 BOARD OF EDUCATION IS MOST REASONABLE

In the matters of cleanliness, fresh air and school hygiene and morals the counsel of women could not but be valuable.
 Moreover the teaching force of the school consists almost entirely of wo- men. It is conceivable, indeed it is probable, that certaiAi problems con nected with the schools could be bet ter discussed betweeen women than betweeen men and women.
 The Board of Education has an op- portunity to show that it is pro- gressive body. in touch with modern thought and modern philosophy rela- tive to child education. It has but to fill the vacancy now existing with a woman. and the vacancy that will exist, following the resignation of Mir. veness, with another woman
 Such action, this newspaper be- Iieves, would receive almost universal approval

The esteemed Evening Post, which is the Mrs. MaIaprop of its friends. again lets the cat out of the bag, m saying that De ver. H. Warner is the only one who is entitled to credit for the '-voiuntzry'' discoverance of some sb,se0. .o0o of taxable property by it's owners That is entirely correct. All of the benefits of tax equalization prior to the entrance of Mir. Warner had arrived by the usual procession of compulsion under the statutes, Mayor Buckingham had neither the special knowledge nor the private power to procure the voluntary co- operation of tax dodgers. He there fore exercised the puplic power. which the people had entrusted to him.
 Nevertheless some appreciation is dae MT Warner for his demonstra- ton of private power, which is freely accorded.

History shows that stupendous movements have taken place witho- It the consciousness of some of the greatest men being aroused to the fact, until revolution was either close at hand. or actually accom- plished The writings of early philo- spphers, poets, and statesmen may be sought in vain for several centuries for any appreciation of the meaning of Christianity. Yet the philosophy of Christ, during a large part of the silent period, had gained millions of adherents and was becoming ripe, to transform the world As late as Thomas Jefferson's time the men who appreciated that chatteI slavery must disappear were exceedingly few ''There always had been slaves; there always would be- VI as the attitude Of statesmen.
 So strong is the grip of things as they are upon even powerful minds.
 The Hartford Times. one, of the leading and most intelligent news papers in New England, illustrates the point in an editorial in its Saturdays Issue. when it treats. as something new and ''treasonable," the sugges- ton of Roosevelt that the people shall determine at the ballot box the con stitutionaIity of laws.
 Yet MT. Roosevelt's proposal is conservative modification of one of the powers of the initiative and ref erendum which, generally speaking. inclades the proposar that a law adopted by the direct vote of the people of a state cannot be vetoed by the state court.
 The initiative in its most charac- teristic form provides for the pro mitigation of laws by petition of from eight to fifteen per cent of the vot- CTS of a state. A law 50 promuIgat- ed becomes valid when approved by majority of those voting on it. Amendm ents to the constitution are created by the same fashion.
 This power of initiative substan- tia1Iy as described exists in Oregon. Oklahoma, California and some eight or nine other states.
 Evidentially it can be shown that similar powers are about to be creat- ed in the great majority of the states, and even now the most important. and the most influential group in

POVERTY AND MARRIAGE

All attempts to deal with a socis- ty that is nominalIy homogeneous, but actually polygamous, must fail without recognition of the truth that the basic cause of proniscuity is eco homie.
 The evil against which ministers. refornlers and intelligent doctors so strenuously fight has its origin large ly in the difficulties that mitigate against the establishment of family life.
 A perusal of the records of old Connecticut towns will show that early marriage was the usual thing, and that large families were the rule. A family of nine children was not un- usual and families of ten or fifteen children were not uncommon. The economic conditions made marriage easy, the support of the family cer- tain. Every child was an asset.
 The tapering of the birth rate may be traced to the increasing difficulty of providing for the support of chill dren- Marriage instead of being looked forward to at an early age Is postponed until the learning capac- ity" is large enough to support a family, and thus during the period when natures impulsion to enter into marriage is greatest the desire must be suppressed in default of sufficient income.
 Many statesmen unhesitatingly de- clare that the guarantee of an eco homie support forNfamily life. permit ting and encouraging early marriage, would in few years destroy most of the illegal relationships, between men and women and red light dis tricts would completely disappear.

HUDSON EXHIBIT TO
 SHOW NO NEW VALVE

An erroneous report that the Hud- son Motor Car Company of Detroit has been experimenting with a new type of valve mechanism and will ex- hibit 1t at the New York automobile show, was recently printed in the au- tomobile column of a number of newspapers.
 The Hudson Company today made the announcement that the story is without foundation. This story prob ably emanated from rumor publish ed in the trade papers.
 The Hudson exhibit at the Madison Square Garden show, consists of beautiful snOw-white chassis, which splendidly tells the. story of how How ard E. Coffin. the Hudson designer has eliminated approximately 1000 parts in the new self starting Hudson '.33"
 There are three Hudson models, a touring car, torpedo and runabout, on exhibition.
 The Hudson company authorizes the statement that there has been no change in the 1912 product from those cars. that have already been deliv- cred and are being exhibited at the shows.

MACADAM STREETS FAIL

An inquiry ought to be made with a view to finding some substitute for macadam on streets which are not to receive permanent pavement. The macadam highway was well enough in it's day, but it is now insufficient to meet the demands of traffic. Its first cost is low, but it's cost of main tenance is high. It does not give satisfaction, and like most cheap ar ticles is dear in the end. It appears that the combination of asphalt and macadam which are now being adopted everywhere are not prohibit tive in cost Experiments ought to
