There's material for reflection in
the success of recent radical change
at Princeton University. Voluntary
morning prayers has been substituted
for compulsory chapel and has won
immediate and immense favor with
the students. In the first days OF its
trial the attendance is larger even
in the days of compulsory attendance,
which required each student to appear
at morning worship only twice every
week. To some who have noted the
religious tendencies Of college students
this condition is surprising.
The voluntary attendance at morn
ing prayers was approved by the
Princeton trustees last spring very
largely as a result of student agitation
in its favor. The students claimed
there was no advantage in compulsory
worship and they claimed it so insist
entity as to lead the trustees into what
seemed at the time a radical move. Its
immediate SUCCESS is indicated by the
present attendance.

The Opposition to Equal Suffrage.

The New York World published.
Thursday, four column cartoon, OH
it's editorial page, showing four typi-
cai habitues of the saloon drinking
and exulting over the newspaper
headline: woman Suffrage Defeated
in New jersey" The spokesman is
saying: We'll. boys, we saved the
home" To this strikingly significant,
full and truthful story, the Worlo
adds, editorially:
Although the New Jersey election
was held in an off-year and was not
even at the regular time. the great
popular interest in Woman Suffrage
was proved by a total vote almost
equal to that for Governor in 1913.
Suffrage now is as strong at the polls
as the Republican Party was in that
year and about $4,000 stronger, than
Mr.. Taft was in 1912. At the Presi-
Dental election three years ago 432.-
534 ballots were cast. Now, with only
the Suffrage issue at stake, about
$4,000 voters appeared, Of whom over
100000 wer favorable to the change.
New Jersey is highly conservative
State. The action that it was asked
to take was radical in the extreme.
Aside from the natural opposition
awakened by innovation, the move
ment encountered powerful antagon-
ism on the part of long-established
political and business interests. Both
Of the old party machines were hos.
tile, the brewing and liquor eombina-
tiens were a unit in their resistance,
and a considerable element among the
women themselves was inimical.
This one constitutional question
called more than so per cent. of the
electors to the polls. Not many
present day issues could have COM
PEELED such a showing, and the Suf-
frage cause in New Jersey, in spite Of
the repulse 1t has receiver. must be
regarded as still very much alive.

The Cost Of Disease.

New light on the tremendous cost
Of disease to the people of the United
States. and some indication Of the saw
ing that can be erected by more sys-
tematic methods of care and proven,
ton, is afforded by an investigation
which has just been completed in
Duchess county, New York. This sur
vey, which is said to be the first OF it's
kind ever carried out with such thor
oughness In any part Of the country,
included a careful compilation of facts
regarding all the cases Of illness in
representative sections of this one
county. which was selected for the
test because it was considered to be
fairly typical of conditions through
out the State. though probably its
health conditions are above rather
than below the average. The investi-
CATION disclosed that every man. wo-
man and child in the area covered was
i'll an average Of two days during the
year. The cost Of this sickness was
between $500 and $500 per capita. so

A Police "Medal Of Merit"

The Police Commissioner Of New
York has recently issued an order to
the effect that a new medal will be
awarded to members of the Police De-
partment which will be known as the
Medal Of Merit" 1t is the intention
of the Department to award this medal
to those members of the police VINO
submit the most valuable and practical
suggestions in regard to police work,
and who through meritorious applica-
ton maintain the highest degree OF
efficiency. In examinations for promo
ton, this medal is to carry the same
weight in percentage as the medal
given for valor. One of the reasons
for creating this new reward is due to
the fact that all members of the de-
partment do not have the same equal
opportunities to win the medal for
valcr as they will have in striving for
the new medal. Heretofore mounted
officers, motor cycle policemen, and
members of the harbor squad have had
exceptional chances to win the medal
for valor but the new medal will give
everyone in the police department ini-
tiative for the new honor.
The plan is worthy of adoption in
any city of any size.

Has Seen and Knows.

Oscar King Davis, correspondent OF
the Chicago Tribune, while travelling In
China for his paper. has had his views
materially changed concerning the ef-
feet of a protective tariff on eggs. Mr..
Davis writes: Several times last
year when 1 was travelling through the
middle western United States fell in
with farmers who were greatly excited
over the Importation of Chinese eggs.
They acclaimed vehemently against
the reduction of the tariff on eggs
which permitted such importations.
and declared that il was affecting their
incomes and making their chicken in
dustry Improbable. Knowing the
price paid for eggs in my own home.
such talk used to make me smile. for I
didn't see where the importation of
Chinese eggs had had the slightest ef-
feet on the American market.
ION the trip through Chilli province.
which I have just ended. we had &C.
casion very frequently to buy eggs
from the farmers and villagers, along
the road Eggs are convenient and
cheap article of food on such an expe-
dition. On this trip the average price
we paid for eggs was eight cash
apiece. At the average rate Of ex-
change for cash which we found taSin
China, an American dollar is worth
1000 cash. So when you come to turn
an American dollar into cash in China
at eight cash per egg you buy S75 eggs
The retail price in the eastern part OF
the United States, with which ! hap
pen to be familiar, last year, was ap-
proxirlately three cents per egg. The
retail price in the part of China have
just visited is eight-seventieths Of q
cent per egg. One egg at home is
worth 261z eggs in this province. Does
this sort of calculation give you an,
kind Of an idea as to the way the Chi.
nese ive?" a r.-
This explains why go much American
capital is going abroad to engage II
the cvaporated egg industry. 1t alst
explains the low price of eggs on thu
Pacific coast during the past year ant
| a half. At the rate quoted by Mr.
Davis, that bon vivant. Senator Oil
James, could invite the entire Demo
! Congress to an omelette breakfast, b!
purchasing a dollars worth of Chimes,
eggs, and then have enough left ovel
| for the President and his Cabinet. AND
Chinese eggs are fit diet for free
trade Democracy.

Of the United States are paying nearly
$500, 900 900 q year for sickness"
AS approximately half the total
amount Of illness was due to communi-
cable diseases; II is evident that q
great saving. probably $ioo.oeo.ooo to
$500 ,oeo. 600. could be effected by the
adoption of better measures for the
care and prevention Of illness.
How fortunate 1t Is that we can re-
strict the wilful or careless spread Of
disease without interfering with per
sonal liberty.H Perhaps some day we
may nationally prohibit the spread OF
the disease Of intoxication and the ills
that grow out of it. without violating
personal liberty" Small pox and
typhoid have no powerful commercial
bodies working to promote them.

his talk. ''how many of you know what

With one accord every hand in the room

Dear E. r.: I've studied over this
it to the colyum for consideration. Do
you think it quite gallant of a friend
who sends me a birthday bouquet. telling
my age, to have it exactly accurate as
to the number? Wouldn't it have been
more chivalrous If he had stopped at
well, say q or two? There's always the
possibility, too. that the florist may
throw in some extra blossoms, just for
luck.-Louella, So They Say, Boston
Globe.
It's an outrage! We'd never have
thought of sending more than dozen
and a half under such circumstances;
and we should have warned the florist
that we'd prefer leaving cut one to
adding two.
