A Welcome Change at Washington.

The country, without regard to par
ty, is to he congratulated Oh the ''piti-
less publicity" with which its business
has been conducted. President Wilson
has not been TWO months in office and
yet the most hidebound partisan will
not deny that an entirely new spirit OF
administering the public business has
been manifested. The doors have
been opened. Mystery has been abol-
ished. Red tape has been destroyed.
Fustion, gold lace and tinsel, which
made the American Administration
like a third rate German court, have
disappeared. There is instead a self
respecting simplicity and manhood and
a direct doing of things that is an i'll
spiration beyond description. 1t all
goes to show how beneficial a shake up
is once in a while.-Indianapolis News.

TROLLEY MEN VICTORIOUS.

Buffalo. n. Y, April 25-The strike
of the trolley men in this city re-
suited in a complete victory. The
traction company has agreed to rec
ognize the street carmen's union,
and it has been further agreed that
all employees are to be returned TO the
service in the positions and with the
seniority formerly held by them. 1t
is further agreed that all matters in
dispute are to be SETTLED by a board
of arbitration. This board is to be
composed of three persons. the en-
ployes to select one. the company one,
and these two are to select a third.
In case of failure to select third
arbitrator within five days the mayor
of the city of Buffalo is to become
the umpire. II is then specified that
evidence and arguments and a deci-
sion shall be reached within Is
days, the findings of the board to be
binding upon both parties. There
were numerous reasons why the
company finally agreed to make a
settlement. The state board of arbi-
tration had begun its sessions, and
the attorney generals office had be
gun an investigation. The county of
ficials had served notice on the COM
pany that they must pay for the
troops being maintained, inasmuch as
the city and county authorities had
not demanded them. The mayor had
plans in operation to force the COM
pany to run cars or forfeit its fran
chise. The district attorney had ar
ranged to arrest every strike breaker
who took car out if they had not
had instructions for ] ) days under
competent men, for the state law re-
quires that men operating cars shall
have had this experience. A settle
ment of this strike means much to

Accompanied by Miss Sylvia Pank-

of the former member of Parliament
who resigned his seat to contest Bow
and Bromley on the issue of equal
suffrage, Miss Emerson made a
spectacular raid through that Stun
district. The raid took both the in
habitants and authorities by surprise,
for hitherto the militants have con-
fined their window smashing to the
fashionable shopping and office dis
tricts, and it was not until the
smashers had destroyed much glass
that they were arrested The offices
of the Liberal Association Of Bow and
Bromley suffered severely from the
raid, and thereby were the svffra-
gettes revenged for the failure Of the
Liberal party to fight for Lansbury
in his contest to regain his seat as
champion of suffrage. The SEN
tence of hard labor on the raiders was
denounced by their supporters as vim
dfctive and they at once went on hun
ger strike, the result of which has
been their removal to the second di-

Yet Carl Morris, who stood be-
fore Jim Flynn until his face was

himself had taken q gruelling
