\ BILL has just been intro
n dueed in the New York
Legislature calling for the
appointment of two women
judges to aid in dealing with such
young girl culprits as are brought
into the Children's Court.
Such a move can hardly fail
OF receiving the cordial support
of all who know anything of the
number of such culprits or who
appreciate the fitness, not to say
the necessity, of their being dealt
with by feminine officials.
When change so evidently
appropriate and urgent is made
or proposed, we always wonder
why it was not made long. be-
fore.
Women can not do everything
that a man can do; but some
things they can do a great deal
better than he.
Many of the offenses that would
fall within the jurisdiction of
women judges are of a kind that,
from moral point of view,
ought not to lie within the juris-
diction of male judges.

Revolutionary Attitude
in Ulster a Very
Serious One.

The revolutionary attitude as
sumed in Ulster County. ireland
is, to outward appearance, one Of
great seriousness, and yet one
can not help wondering whether
the Ulster people, with all the
military preparations which they
are making. sincerely expect 10
compete successfully with the
British army or whether it is
merely a kind of bluff which they
are putting up in order to drive
the British Government to COM
promise.
Another question which It
would be very enlightening to
have answered is, How does it
happen that Catholics and Prot
estants get along together fairly
tremendously in the rest Of Ire
land, while in Ulster the friction
between them is general and con-
slant?
Ulster County is largely popu-
lated by Protestants of Scotch
and English descent. The Irish
were driven out 10 make room
for them; that is TO say, 10 make
room for their Scotch and Eng
lish ancestors. This is all writ
ten out in history in plain Eng
lish.
The Ulster Scotchmen and Eng
lishmen of to-day are living on
stolen territory, territory that
was stolen from Irishmen, and
the passing of three centuries
does not undo the thievery nor
raise it to the dignity OF honor
able acquisition.

It Is Not Too Late To Be
Reconciled to the
Situation.

Our Protestant Ulster friends,
living in comfort and affluence on
ground from which Irishmen have
been eXpatIiated, ought not to
forget this. but to reflect upon it
with a kind of meditation that has
in it seriousness and tinge of
penitence. and either make up
their minds to get along as com
fortably as they can with their
Irish contemporaries or 90 back
To Scotland and England, from
which they were themselves
transplanted 1t may be too late
to go back, but it is not too late
to reconcile themselves to a stu
alton into which their own fore
bears have precipitated them.

THE TWO-CENT RATE!
7HE ST. PAUL Dispatch of Jan.

VIE 81. fAUL DlSpdLcn OIL JAN
uary 2, prints the following
n letter from C. M. Bendixen in
The Mailbag under the caption "In a
bad temper: Representative Bendixen
would overrule the Interpretation of
his 2-cent Law" Inasmuch as The
Gazette has not always agreed with
Mr.. Bendixen on this law, we feel it
fitting and just that we quote Mr..
Bendixen views at this time-and the
reply made to him editorially in the
same issue of the Dispatch.
"To the Editor of the Dispatch:
In the Dispatch of the 23d, there ap-
pears a news item stating that after
January l., the railroads of this state
will charge 8 cents per mile for the
first five miles of travel by any pas
senger, regardless of the distance fol-
which transportation may have been
purchased; at least this is the infer
ence to be drawn from the article in
your paper.
If this is the intention of the rail-
roads, and if they carry it into eff
feet, it will certainly be a palpable
violation of both the intention and
spirit of the 2-cent rate law passed
by the last Legislature.
In the newspaper article in ques-
ton you say that the Bendixen 2-cent
rate law provides that 8 cents shall
be charged for the first five miles;
this is misstatemcnt
The law provides that the railroads
"may'' charge 3 cents mile for five
miles, but certainly it was not the
intention to allow them to charge 3
cents per mile for the first five miles
of any distance exceeding five miles.
The intention was to allow them to
charge cents per mile when trans
portation was purchased for five miles
or less, and l believe the law will be
so construed by the courts, if they
should be called upon to decide.

Frank M. Eddy just splashes all
over the editorial page of the Sank
Centre Herald; Listen to this:
'1t is a hard problem for a Mexican
to decide what to do; if he fights he
gets killed; if he surrenders he gets
killed; if he stays at home either the
rebels or the federals carry off his
substance and he starves to death. "
And then to that; "Count that day
lost whose low descending sun supplies
no new man for governor to rum" And
these are just two small samples of
Franks fifty-seven varieties.
