Editors And Newspapers

Here is a good one a boy out west
gets off on the editor:
Newspapers are sheets of paper
on which stuff to read is printed.
The men look over it to see if their
names are in it. | don t know news
papers came into the world. | don t
think God does. The Bible says
nothing about editors, and |
never heard of one being III heaven.
The first editor | heard of was the
fellow who wrote up the flood. He
has been here ever since.
Some editors belong to church
end some try to raise whiskers. All
Of them raise hell in their neigh
borhood. Sometimes the paper dies
and then people feel glad, but some
one starts it again. Editors never
went to school because editors never
get licked. Our paper is mighty
poor one but we take it so Ma can
use it on her pantry shelves. Our
editor don t amount to much, but
Paw says he had a poor chance
when he was a boy. Paw has not
paid his subscription in five years
and don t intend to.

WOMAN ON THE SCHOOL BOARD

Women are good housekeepers-
no man will dispute that. Having
had considerable experience, they
are considered authority Oh the
care of children-no man will chal-
lenge that statement.
There was a time, however, when
housekeeping was confined to the
place where men went at night.
Now those of us who read bit and
leave sight of the place where we
were born, know that houseclean-
ing is pretty broad word. And
women are taking active part III
housecleaning as applied to all pub
lie utilities. City and Town Beau
tiful, modern sanitation and
plumbing. ventilation of school
buildings, clean strets, Fairgrounds
all such innovations have come to
us on the advice, persistent, poster
ing advice, of women. The world
is better off because Of women. The
rankest enemy Of The Post would
MT dispute that.
The men have always agreed that
when if comes to house-cleaning,
that if we couldn t leave home,-
all we could do was to take the
place of handy man and do just
what we were told to do (Which III
cold fact is all we ever do, after
all
But when women began to crit
icise us in the management of pub
lie affairs. we resented it and told
them they were to keep house, sew
on the button, shine at bridge par
ties, fuss with the cook-in fact
tend to the housekeeping and the
children.
One day, woman said she was go
ing into the wholesale business and
now Housecleaning is a big word
in all communities that are tending
toward improvement. The men
have accepted her i'll most places
and she has made good. Wherever
woman has a part in town govern
ment-that s cleaner and health
ier place to live.
No woman ever was put on the
Board of Health but that there was
something doing i'll short order.
She is the natural housecleaner.
Then again, we men used to think
that women were all right to at
tend to the children at home but
when it came to education-only
man could do that. The world liv-
ed under that fool idea for some
time. Now we know better.
The women simply said we know
more about these children than you
do and since you have designated
us to care for the children we are
going to do it. Mother love and
common sense demand that we
look after them in the Schools.
Men resented it, of course. It's
way they have. Only were they
induced to try this experiment by
the argument that women school
teachers would relieve the cost Of
up-keep Of surplus old maids. And
now they have made a success of
it-even the old maids. We men
are surprised that we never
thought of it before.
Women are natural born teach

PLAN REPUTATION
Of FRAGETTES
Militants Offered as Sacrifice

England.

LONDON, Nov. decided efforts
are being made 10 induce the British
govern ~nt TO come tc an agreement
with the nffragists, whereby meas
urefor acknowledgement cf women
can De made a part of the official
program of the liberal party.
Some Of the snffragist leaders de-
clare that this movement has OBJ
tained considerable he3dway A signi-
ficant feature of the conferences has
cen the presence Of Mr. and Mrs.
Frederick William PethickLaW
renee, who left the folds of the Wom-
ems Social and Political Union at the
request of Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst,
and who took with them their paper,
"Votes for women"
II is known that the government
will consider only a compromise based
on an unqualified population Of the
Women's Social and Political Union
and all it's militant methods.
Hitherto the constitutional suffra
gists have refused to criticise formally
the actions of their militant sisters,
declaring that it was bad tactics in
the face of the common enemy to
question the actions of the militant
organization, but several of the promi-
nent constitutional suffragist leaders
now express themselves as willing TO
abandon this attitude. They have,
they declare, become convinced that
suppression Of the militants is the
only hope of securing the parliamen-
tary suffrage for women. Women al
ready possess the municipal suffrage
and may hold any civic office outside
of parliament.

MILLION DOLLAR"
TRAIN IS ROBBED
Express Car Looted While Six
Guards Protect U. S.
Currency.

NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-Secret serv-
ice agents and other government Of
ficials, as we'll as railroad detectives,
are seeking to unravel the mystery
of the robbery of one of the express
cars on the Washington New York
Express, generally known as the
million dollar train.
II is the belief of the secret service
agents that those who broke the seals
of the express ear and stole a guam
tity of valuable merchandise intended
TO break into one of the cars which
contained many thousand dollars
VIII oh is shipped each night from the
United States sub treasury at WASH
ington to the sub-treasury in this
city.
The name of the Million Dollar"
express was bestowed upon it for the
reason that 1t seldom pulls out of
Washington over the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad at each evening with
out having on board more than a
million dollars. The treasure is locked
in strong boxes and placed in two
steel cars of the latest and strongest
construction. Inside of each car are
three guards, each armed with rifles
ard every weapon for protection of
the money.
Just where the car was broken into
has not been ascertained. The train
was unusually heavy on Wednesday
night consisting of sixteen cars.
With the exception Of three sleeping
cars and day and a combination
car all the others were loaded with
valuable mail and merchandise.

MOL|NEAUX SEEKS
WEDDING LICENSE
Central Figure in Famous New
York Murder Mystery to
Again Marry.

NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-Roland NJ
Molineux, twice tried twelve years
ago for the murder of Mrs Katherine
J. Adams and acquitted, applied this
afternoon at the City Hall for a mar
riage license to wed Miss Margaret
Connell, of this city.
The license was not granted be-
cause he had forgotten to bring with
him copy of the decree of divorce
which his former wife, Blanche
Chesebrough, obtained against him in
the South Dakota courts.
Molineux and his fiancee gave the
same address in their application for
the license. Miss Connel said that
she was twenty-eight years of age
and secretary. Molineux is forty
seven. When he was told that a
copy Of the divorce decree would have
to be filed with the application, Moli-
neux pleaded with the clerk to waive
this procedure, saying that his
mother was very i'll and that he and
Miss Connell wanted to be married
at her bedside as quickly as possible
He was told that IL he could not get
q copy of the decree quickly he might
return to the license bureau and that
his affidavit that he was divorced
probably would be accepted instead.
Roland Molineaux is well-know here
He was employed in this city at the
Morris Herman & Co. color plant
then located at the foot of Monroe
street, when arrested for the mur-
der of Mrs. Adama. The famous sill
yer ease in which the poison was sent
to the Knicl1erbocker Athletic Club
in New York, also was purchased
here from a Broad street firm

SENATORS RALLY
TO ADMINISTRATION
ON CURRENCY Bill.
Reed and O'GOrman Vote With
Majority on Plan to Re-
consider Action.

,.-WASlIINGTON, Nov. IAN entire
ly new line-up in the Senate bank
Il 2 committee with a majority be-
hind the administration appeared to-
day when by vote of seven to five
the committee reconsidereG it's ae-
tion reducing the number OF regional
reserve banks to four.
Senator's Reed and O'Gorman, the
Democrats who had been voting
against the administration proposals,
cast their votes with the other Dem
ocrats. Senator. Hitchcock, Democrat,
held out but Senator Crawford, Re-
publican, Joined the administration
forces and the question was reopened.
That the new lineup would hold
through the vote on the resolution
for seven regional banks was left in
question.
The administration won another
point when the committee voted to
retain on the federal reserve board
as an ex-officio member the secretary
of the treasury.
All of the amendments so far
adopted by the committee have been
tentative only and it was believed
that if today's lineup held all those
amendments could be reeonsidered
and made more acceptable to Presi-
dent Wilson.
Democratic leaders decided today
that unless a bill meeting the ap-
proval of the administration is ready
by Monday a caucus will be called,
the measure taken from the hands
of the committee and made Demo-
cratic caucus bill.
Administration senators contend
that the changes written into the bill
so far in the committee completely
alter the theory and purpose of the
measure as originally framed.

WALLACE, RIVAL,
OF DARWIN, DEAD
"Grand Old Man of Science
Dies in His Ninety-first
Year.

LONDON, Nov. 7.-Alfred Russell
Wallace. an eminent British scientist,
died here today, aged ninety one
years.
Professor Wallace, the grand old
man of science" shares with Darwin
the honors of having set forth the
scientific principles of evolution. He
was the author OF more than 200
books, treatises and monographs.
Wallaee's bent toward scientific re-
search dated back to a collection of
beetles which he began as school
boy and completed when he made an
expedition to the Amazon in 1S4S.
A year or two later he visited
sumatra, and Java and discovered
that the Malay Archipelago was
divided into western group of
islands which in origin are Oriental,
and an eastern group. which are Aus
tralian. The two groups are divided
by a narrow belt of sea known as
"Wallace's line" on the opposite sides
of which the indigenous animals are
as widely divergent as IN any two
parts of the world.
Wallace became convinced Of the
truth of evolution and originated the
theory of natural selection during
these travels His work in the de-
velopment of the laws of evolution
supplements that of his friend, Dar-
win, and the result is often called
the Darwin Wallace theory.
He visited the United States in
1887 On the occasion of his finetieth
birthday ne gave out long state
ment, in which he said:
Il have come to the general con-
clusion that there has been no adj
vance either in intellect Or morals
since the days of the earliest
Egyptians. Everything is IS bad as
it possibly can be. There exist in
our midst horrors and dreadful dis
eases never known before. Our whole
social environment is rotten, full of
vice and everything that is bad.

RETURN SWEENEY
AS FIRE CAPTAIN
Commissioners Reinstate Jer-
sey City Man, Once Retired
Through Injuries.
Especial 10 the Newark sfar.I

JERSEY CITY. Nov. John
Sweeney, formerly a captain in the
city fire department, has been ordered
returned to duty and will be given a
command, to which he will be as
signed in the course of few days.
Sweeney was retired. on his mo-
tion, under the Wittpenn administra-
ton and placed upon the pension
roll at half-pay Disability the re-
suit Of injuries incurred in the serv-
ice, was the cause assigned for his
retirement He is comparatively Il
young man and the picture of health.
Recently DIR. Crowley, of the fire
department, upon orders of Director
of Public Safety Frank Hague. eX
amined and reported him as fit for
fire duty as any man at present
doing duty in the department.
Sweeney's leg bothered him at
time when the Board of Freeholders
planned to make him chief of the
fire department at the county in
stitution at Snake Hill The job was
to have been given him upon his
retirement from the Jersey city de-
partment. but the plan miscarried.
and Sweeney has had to get along
on his half pay pension He is will
ing now to go back to his old job
as a captain in the local fire depart
ment and be restored to full pay.
Director Hague at the meeting of
the commissioners yesterday after
noon. presented the report Of DR..
Crowley and asked that Sweeney be
returned to duty and taken from the
pension list. The report was
granted.
Hague also asked that several other
pens.oned firemen and some pen
stoned policemen, who got on the
retired list because of alleged physi-
cal dsa bilities. be examined and if
found to be fit for duty be forced to
go back to work.
This move will no doubt be OPP
posed by pensioners who. unlike
Sweeney. have good paying jobs in
addition to their pension allowances
