UN|NTEREST|NG PEOPLE
(By Maurice Brown Kirby)

They live in a quiet sort of a way In quiet sort of a street, They don't meet great many people, Impress the people they meet. The newspapers never mention their
 names,
 The world doesn't care what they do They never go in for anything much And their intimate friends are few He never has had a favorite club, Though somebody said he might, For a flat little nose on the window
 pane
 Awaits him every night; And eight little fingers and two little
 thumbs
 Undo all the work of the comb. As he sits in the Quietest sort of way In his quietest sort of home. She doesn't belong to a Woman's Club She hasn't a single fad, She spends her time with a blue-eyed She never unravelled a Problem of She doesn't know lots of things. She plays with the kids" and works all day,
 And most of the time she sings. He isn't like most other husbands at
 all, f, She isn't like most other wives, And they never attempt to make a
 change
 Tn the course of their quiet lives; But once in while they dress the "kids,''
 And go to spend the day In a nice little quiet country spot In nice little quiet way.

An English court has sentenced MT. and Mrs Lawrence and Mrs. Plank hurst to nine months in prison, for "conspiring to destroy private prop erty." They were the leaders in the window breaking crusade, inaugurated by the militant suffragists to compel the Asquith government to grant votes to women.
 With characteristic ignorance of history. press reports have come over announcing, this is the severest set back the suffragist movement ever re- ceived." With deference to the po- iitical acumen of the English corre- spondents, let us assert that it is nothing of the kind, but probably the biggest boost the suffragist movement has received in England.
 Governments are under a necessity to preserve order. When they can not do this they cease to be govern rnents. But revolutions are under a necessity to create di-order, either of violence or in processes and fnsti- tutions. It is a law that the reconstruc- fion of an old Building shall bsr attsnd-

The wars ended with the defeat and death of Richard III, at Bosworth in l4So.

TROLLEYMEN'S DEMAND FOR
 FREE RUNNING BOARDS

ty and accepted legal obligations of railway companies the practice of ov- ercrowding cars is exactly equivalent to sanding the sugar, or putting water in the milk.
 Trolleymen have a strong incentive for Keeping running boards clear. A crowded running board threatens the life of the conductor, and makes the duties he has to perform trebly diffi- cult
 And there is the further question if the over-crowding policy of the Connecticut company is not penny wise and pound foolish. There are uncollected fares to be considered, and those who avoid trolley cars whenever they can. There is price to be paid in the aversion and hatred of the public.
 To monopolies much is given. From them much is expected, When they become gougers and swindlers they must expect little sympathy.

TRUMBULL,s NECESSITY

The school agitation in Trumbull marks the situation of not a few small Connecticut towns, which. cov- ering great area. have widely dis tributed and sparse population, scat tered for the most part along diffi- cult and inferior highways.
 The small school, receiving ten, to 30 pupils, is costly and inefficient. The remedy from the standpoint of the future and the well being of the children is in school consolidation. One central school, to which the chil- iren may be brought by team or auto. is the ideal for the country town.
 But the grand list of the country town is not elastic. The ability of

 It needs no student of political and economic tendencies to see that the same forces upon which Roosevelt rides to temporary victory will ul- timateIy eliminate him. He is the convenient instrument which democ- racy in the Republican party uses to divide privilege against itself.

CONGRESS TO
 DISCUSS SAFETY AT SEA.

Coming so soon after the Titanic tragedy, the twelfth International Philadelphia to-day for it's first ses- sion on this side of the Atlantic. promises to be the most important gathering in the history of that not able and useful organization. Elm inent engineers and authorities on maritime nations of the world are in- cluded among the delegates, and they will have an opportunity to earn the lasting gratitude of humanity by turning their attention toward plans and projects for lessening the dan the sea in ships. The formal pro- gram, prepared before the Titanic went down to her grave, provided for scant attention to the greatest of all navigation problems, but that onis- sion will doubtless be remedied, now been impressed so forcibly upon the minds of all. The unsuitable ship is not yet. and probably never will be. The gigantic iceberg is an excellent imitation of an immovable body, but the biggest steamship is far from be- ing an irresistible force. And even if a liner could be made strong enough and powerful enough to appear to be irresistible, debating societies all af- firm that the odds would favor the immOvable DOQy. Man learns through disaster and progresses by compro- mises icebergs and hidden rocks must be compromised with by provision and prevention, and. when these fail, by makeshifts. The barriers of Nature are not always to be demolished by direct assault. but human ingenuity is always able to find a path around. By devious ways, through pain and travail and failure, science conquers the seeming unconquerable and proves the truth of Swinburnes proud boast, "Glory to man in the highest for man is the master of things" The world will look to the International Navigation Congress to devise the way around that will en- able sea travellers to escape the fate that befell the heroes and heroines of the Titanic.

The demand of the Trolleymen's g Union of New Haven for free running boards on open cars is modest indeed. It is a demand in which every mem- Der of the travelling public should join, and in which most do. That it would decrease the earning power ofs-eunnpefmo cars to be used, and increase the expense of operating the street railway lines somewhat are arguments not worth considering.
 It is the duty of street railway com panies, except perhaps in brief pe- riods of unforeseen emergency, to fur nish a seat for every passenger Not only is it an imposition on the pub lie to fill running boards with cling ing men, but it is a swindle to pack the limited space between seats with standing passengers until riding in a trolley car becomes a synonym for dis comfort or positive pain.

What the suffragfst cause in Eng land really needs-what all high causes need, is somebody to die for the cause. A cause gains when its adherents are willing to suffer for it, almost wins when they are willing to die for it, and 1t DOES WIN when some do die for it.
 One death from forced feeding in an English prison is about all that is now needed to bring victory to the English Suffragists.
