the city and Federal Governments do
not seriously conflict, and with real
desire on the part Of all concerned to
bring the negotiations to a successful
issue no delay was to be expected
But another conference must be held
before the bargain Is clinched.
This will be between the advertising

The Coroner said:

From the moment this girl took up
with militancy she seems to have been
absolutely degraded, and from then her
whole history was one Of drink. drugs.
immortality, and finally death by her own
hand" .'
One Of the direct effects OF milltancy
Is to confirm many In the opinion long
held and to bring many others over to
the belief that the grant Of votes to
women would have disastrous effects on
the sex at large, undermining its moral
standards and producing an excitement
destructive of happiness IN each exist
ing generation and tending to degen-
eracy In the next. This view may not
be Just. but It certainly gains definite
ness from the demonstrated effect OF the
mere demand for votes on a consld-
cradle number OF women. II must be
remembered that not merely the active
mllltants are affected, but also the very
large body Of sympathizers who. accord
ing to Home Secretary McKENNA. exist
in the British Islands. These share lam
entably in the morbid excitement and
moral deterioration OF the arsonettes
and hatcheteeresses.

When schooImates Get Together.

There Is n spurious sort OF modesty
which Is deserving OF little or no COM
mendation. 1t Is the sort In virtue Of
which man pretends TO put aside the
worthy doings Of his life and revert to
some primitive state OF lasignifcance.
lie refuses to be the man whose name
gets into the newspapers occasionally
and poses as plain JOHN Doe, UNI

licity. II Is all affectatlon. Nobody
can abdlcate his own record and be.
come for n day the man he isn't. What
Is more nobody else would regard or
esteem him for such interpolation.
When we met JOHN DOE evolved
from the bright ambitious boy who sat
beside US In school into the shining
light Of science or the meteor Of poll
tics, we warm to him for the combina-
lion of what he was and Is. The
Hover Of his youth and the fruit vt his
maturity make up composite object
for our affection and trusting admlra-
ton. Why should we be deprived OF
any of the rlpened satisfaction which
we feel In the realization OF the ex.
pectations we built about his early
promise?
Even when we meet poor Old Rich
ARD Roe, who has not quite made good.
our heart goes out to him for what he
Is as well as what he was Dear old
chap, we always knew he wasn't built
for success. His careworn brow and
subdued tone are Just ms natural as the
alert and sparkling confidence Of our
more brilliant comrnde. We hold him
in our gentlest regard alike for what
he is and was and also for the simple
ity and sincerity with which he endures
his obscurity and failure. What would

scorn would kill the pleasure Of the re
union.
Why should we have another law for
JOHN Doe? In fact. the attempt to
shed with elabora ton the honors that
honestly belong to n man Is the ex-
preston OF an intolerablo conceit. IT
is the outgrowth of a self-consciousness,
1t is an assumption of superiority In
which modesty has no part The real
man divests himself Of artificial glory
by not thinking Of 1t. He puts himself
on the same plane with his associates
by thinking only Of them. He creates
an atmosphere Of ease by being just
himself, simply and straightforwardly
according TO his natural bent.
Let him but be sincere and natural
and his blushlng honors, so far from
being barrier estranglng him from
the rest Of mankind, will be motive
of sympathy and good feeling. His
friends will rejoice in that he has won
honor. and he will feel new honor in
! that he has given them Joy.

Why Erne.to Nathan Was Appo,nted.

To THE EDITOR OF THE suN-Sfr: The
numerous protests regarding the selection
OF Ernesto Nathan as Italy's delegate to
the Panama Pacific exposition are nat
ural In a country where class legislation
is always rampant.
The profess come from people who
would not have stirred had the appoint
ment been given to an Italian Prince OF
lukewarm Roman Catholic tendencies OF
perhaps to an Italian Methodist. but they
protest against Nathan because his Views
are so far in advance OF those recon-
mended by the Church and Its Irish I'D
herents, the selfsame people who tried
10 retard Italian independence by fighting
for the Holy Father.
Nathan was not appointed because he
was a modernlst or because he was q
Jew or because he was not on good terms
with the Holy See. He was appointe I
because he had served Italy. the new
Italy. with distinction and deserved as
a reward the position which he will I'LL

The Passing Of RoNey.

In this selfish anl busy world where

everybody who was human and normal
dogs can tell the difference. Roxey
was probably the only dog In the States
that had railroad pass and carried
It In his collar. As Cesar was the
Kings dog. so Roxey was the Long
Island Railroads dog.
Roxey had the run OF the baggage
cars and stations for almost fifteen
years, until inHrm old age banlshed

up by commuters growing old with
him, supported Roxey In dignity II

All this no doubt will shock people
who like dogs of course but "llke them

Roxey played a part in the world not
to be despised. He had his uses to his
own people and he touched the springs
