New York, Nov. A.-There is al.
ways something doing in New York,
always something going on to stir
up excitement and to give the people
something to talk about. Last week
it was the election with everything
that zoe with it in a big city ana
the spectacular war show at Madison
Square Garden and this week the OPP
ening of the great National Horse
Show. It is true, the sensational fea-
lure is a trifle late this week, the big
showing opening today, but there
were plenty of smaller excitements
scattered through the week.
The election is over and has passed
into history, but the usual aftermath
of every election, the paying off of
silly election bets, will probably fur
nish amusement to many people for
some time to come. Betting was
pretty heavy on the election just had
and although the odds on, the VIC
torious candidate for mayor were
heavy there we're enough enthusiasts
ready to put up the required cash.
It is estimated that several hundred
thousand dollars were lost by the
hackers of the Murphy ticket.
Politics is a queer game and often
it is extremely difficult to foretell
what the outcome OF, an election Will
be. Yet, as a general rule, the sound
common sense of the masses may be
relied upon to a great extent. A
Snowman in this city, who has several
burlesque companies on. the road, evi
IDENTIFY has the utmost confidence In
the sound common sense Of the peo
pie. On the morning OF election day
he bet one of his shows against a box
of cigars on Mitchell. He is probably
more pleased than the rest of the res
nectable citizens of New York thai
his poponent did not get an oppor
tunity to collect the stake.
The great military spectacle al
Madison Square Garden last week at
tracted enormous crowds and proved
a remarkable success in more thar
one way. If it was intended to hell
the universal peace movement by de
monstrating clearly the horrors o.
war, the show must be ~adjudged {
complete failure. Instead Of inspir
ing the spectators with fear and hor
ror the spectacle. aroused in a mos
unexpected manner the martial spirit
dormant in many apparently common
place and peaceful persons. 1t mus
be attributed to this stirring exhibit
that during the week of the show thu
recruiting stations of the United
States army in this city, usually quite
deserted, were crowded with appli
cants anxious to exchange their civi
liam garments for Uncle Sans mill
tary uniform.
The lot Of the Board or Education
Of New York is by no means envia
Bile. BY its attitude concerning tn
employment of married women as
teachers in the public schools Of tn
city the board has stirred up a verita
BILE. hornets nesl. and brought upol
itself a peck of trouble. A tremend
GUS amount of perfectly good senti
ment is wasted in the agitation which
is carried on against the board Q
education in this case. 1t cannot b.
truthfully asserted that the board Q
education is perfect and never make
mistakes; but why the board shoul'
: be SO viciously attacked by a lot Q
} soft heads and weakened old won
en- in trousers because It wishes =
keep married women out of the teacl
!; ing force is difficult to understand. i
! the irst.place it is still an extremel
J doubtful question whether It is for tn
best Of the interest Of education 7
: employ women as teachers. In tn
second place there can be no questio
!" as to the fact that the employmen
!, Of married women as teachers ma
! great disadvantages.
! Even women teaching school ar

:, to result. The mother must eithe

her duties in school or she must net
lect her duties as q teacher to tax

i understand that both conditions ar
E equally undesirable fro mhumanitaria
as well as educational reasons.
