Beauty from Britain.

There is sure to be a hearty welcome for the
lovely, long London show girls whom enterpris-
ing theatrical manager has imported to these shores
They different-oh very different! And to a
jaded showgoing public what could be more en-
ticing.
We sometimes delude ourselves into thinking
that England and the English bear at least cousin
ly resemblance TO ourselves. But such sights as
these Gaiety duchesses reveal the truth. Lovely
things they are, from great nation. But worlds
away from our own taste in these matters.
From their nicely poised chins to their long sway
ing legs these British maidens restraint persona
fed. They civil even kind. They talk the most
gracious sing-s0ng Sometimes they even 20 so far
to smile archy. But never for moment is
there q suggestion Of that frank, merry boyishness
which is born and bred in the American girl.
1t is easy to appreciate these alien charmers and
quite as easy to return with faith undlmmed to our
own incompatible home product.

Years for the Asking.

There is a fairy godmoher sound TO the plans OF
the Life Extension Institute which makes one doubt
its scientific basis at first sight. The systematic
application OF modern science to the conservation
of human life' is the formal statement Of its scope
And the prolonging of lives and the lettering of the
human machine are its specific aims.
As matter of fact there IS nothing fantastic
about the proposal 1t is nothing more than an
effort to apply what science has learned to the lives
Of all of In connection with life insurance com
panes, schools, factories and clubs, examinations
are to be made which will advise individuals Of
those slight 'impairments' which may mean much
or little according as they are ignored watched.
There can be question Of the great possibilities
for good which lie in this organization. The
only problem will be to persuade weak human
nature to live to gain the years which can be
had for the asking.

Landmarks of Suffrage.

Mrs. Lille Devereux Blake, who died yesterday at
the age of eighty years will be generally spoken Of
as pioneer Of the woman suffrage cause In "A sense
she was that, along with Miss Anthony Mrs stan
ton Mrs. Blackwell and others. The reminder that
these women in their early life were advocates Of
"votes for women suggests that that movement has
been in progress for more than two generations
1t is older than that in both America and Eng
land. Votes for women were demanded when the
Constitution being drafted, in 1881 and from
that time forward the demand almost continu-
ousy heard in some quarter In 1913, before the
late Mrs. Blake old enough TO join in the work
the movement was definitely organized at the con
vention at Seneca Falls In England the beginning
was perhaps made by Mary Wollsonecraft In 1892
and the first petition to Parliament the subject
was presented in 1882 in connection with the reform
Bill.

Clean Up the City's Institutions.

The grand jury which has been investigating the
penitentiary and other Blackwells Island institu-
tons is to extend its work. 1t seems, to other city
institutions, notably the Tombs and Gouverneur
Hospital. Apparently there is need for it. The
District Attorneys office has collected some rather
shocking material about the two places. Mr. Nc
Aneny's committee of the Board OF Estimate re-
Gently made report which was especially black as
TO conditions at Gouyerneur.
This city spends large sums on its charitable and
penal institutions. 1t prides itself on them-yet
with little reason in cases if not in all. The
trouble seems to be with the minor places and the
smaller officias-the out-of-the-way corners which
have filled with dust. Undoubtedly 1t is time
for a thorough housekeeping in the Charities De-
partment and the Correction Department The
grand jury investigation and the work Of the Board
OF Estimate committee should be help. And Mr.
Mitchel's commissioners can be depended on to
WELD the broom with vigor and zeal.

A Great Man, as Seen by Himself.

II must have moved TO the marrow the sympa-
thetic contributors to the $1,000 Waldo silver ser
vice to hear that griZzled and furroWed servant oil
the commonweal confute his critics by calling them
youthful. To one who has put his salad days as
far behind him as Mr. Waldo has no sin Is dead
ler than beardless ineXperience. Out of fund OF
vast accumulated knowledge this Elder Statesman
smiles complacenty at young men who have had
so little experience and practice in handling the
problems of administration that the result OF their
works amounts to little except that 1t gives them
the opportunity to draw salaries in excess of those
they could earn"
If Waldo had ever been able to himself as
others see him he would not have thrown on the
screen that picture of callowness. What has he
been in all his service Police Commissioner but
a convenient figurehead at Headquarters. boy as
signed to do a mans work, innocent enough not
only to overlook the manipulation Of the Police De-
partment by the System but to try to tell the
public that its belief in the existence OF police cor
ruption is all an Illusion? To his abundant wisdom
Becker seemed only "a little lieutenant who had
fallen into bad company and the activities Of the
District Attorneys office in uncOvering the trail of
police graft a cruel misuse of power by hot
headed official seeking political advancement"
To labor in cooperation with such an official or
under a Mayor bitten with the idea that he must
make his administration conform to popular notions
and demands is, of course, sore afilction to an
aloof and weary Titan like Waldo. TO know more
and to have to serve those who know less is tor
ment TO any superman
We do not see how this old world could pull
along or the Police Department hope to do its work
and better itself were it not for the dispensation
by which what the supposedly wise and experienced
cannot see is so often revealed to babes and other
technical incompetents.

no such aggressive cooperation this later alleged
