A Reasonable Suggestion.

One Of the first questions to be set
tied by the various states in the jit-
ney craze" the method of fixing re-
sponsibility in public service on the
part of many irresponsible units.
This phase is being brought to the
attention of public utility commits
sions, asking that individual owners
of vehicles in transportation of PEG
pie be required to furnish surety
bonds in order to provide compensa-
ton in case of accidents.
In Philadelphia much trouble has
been caused in the development Of the
titney service as a result of the ap-
pearance on the streets Of vehicles "
all types operated in some cases by
unskilled men and without adequate
guarantee Of compensation in case q
mishap.
The Washington Star demands tina.
the public be as surely safeguarded
in the matter of accident compensa-
ton as regards the operation. Of jit-
new buses as in the case Of street
railways, which, with their fixed and
irremovable plants, are in themselves
bonded through their property
against court damages.

An Aerial Invasion.

Gen. Sir Arthur Paget tells a story
repeated in the Tatler-of visit paid by
an inspector to prison in the north OF
Ireland. There had been a rumor that
the prisoners were underfed. and the
inspector. determined to find out If there
was any truth in it, decided to question
the prisoners himself
On entering one cell he noticed that the
atmosphere seemed rather stuffy. and
glancing round, he noticed that the ven
tilator was shut.
"Your cell seems rather close and
stuffy," he remarked to the prisoner
'Why don't you have the ventilatol
open?"
II should like to, sir" replied the pris.

Risk it!' repeated the inspector
what risk is there?'

The National American Woman Suf-
frage Association has stolen a march
on the ants by flooding the exposition
with silent argument for woman suf-
frage. This argument is nothing less
than modest little button which is
appearing upon the garb Of thousands
of Western women in attendance. The
button reads merely: I'm Voter"
The idea is, of course, to make the
visitors from the conservative East
ern states realize, through visual aid,
that there are thousands and thou
sands of we'll groomed. happy, sensi-
BILE women who actually vote, and the
National Association has seized upon
the Panama-Pacifc Exposition as the
best possible place in which to demon
strate the truth of their contention.

WiIsonisms.

President Wilson persists good-nat-
uredly in his phrase-coining, despite
their coming hcme to roost in unwel-
come way. "Pitiless publicity" and
"watckful waiting" have ten thousand
times over proved the meaningless use
of words that issue from the mouths
of politicians, but he is making other
expressions just as sure to come
back" At Troy, N. Y, the other day,
he said: Il have been sentenced to
several years of hard labor" In a
recent speech he said: mo nation is
competent to sit in judgment upon
another" Of course he referred to the
European war, but could he have ex-
pected that would escape the applica-
ton of the present administrations
pitiful farce in Mexico?
President Wilson so far sat in
Judgment" upon Mexico that he drove
out the president and only responsible
head of that unhappy nation, and by
SO doing he has established condition
of anarchy, wholesale plumber and
brigandage unparalleled in it's history.
In the campaign which landed him in
the White House, Woodrow Wilson
dwelt upon reduction Of the high cost
of living" and pledged himself to ex-
emption of the tolls for coastwise ship
ping through the Panama canal. The
first, as everybody now knows, was a
baseless political promise that has
stamped indelibly upon the Democratic
party the unreliability Of it's campaign
claims. The second was fatty and
without any attempt at excuse or JUS
LITIGATION, repudiated.
So much for the high-soundlng
phrases of scholars and theorists. Let
President Wilson go on turning them
out, if he will, but they are bound to be
remembered and applied.

Sinking Passenger Ships An "Aet Of
War;"

On April Is, 1912, the world was
shocked by the news Of a sea disaster
in which 1900 lives were lost-the sink
ing Of the great steamship Titanic
after collision with an iceberg.
Since August, 1914, the world has be-
come so Injured to carnage-to reading
details of wholesale death-that re-
ports of massacre. crushing out of
lives by volcanic eruption, or devasta-
ton by cyclone, do not shock unless
near home.
But on Friday the Old World dis
patches carrying the news Of the sink
ing Of the Cunard line steamship Lusi-
tania, which was carrying nearly 1900
passengers, as an act of war" caused
civilization to arouse from its apathy.
The scene Of this war engagement"
according to bulletins Friday after
noon. was on the South Channel route
from New York to Queenstown, scarce
ly % miles from the latter port
This comes near home" to all parts
of the world. 1t comes home" to
America, to New England, to Maine.
Neutral peoples will find it hard to
reconcile the attempt to blow into
eternity hundreds of innocent persons
to Impress an enemy" as an ACT
OF WAR"
The steamship is said to have been
torpedoed and sunk in Fl minutes
many dead or dying being brought to
shore in the boats Of rescuers.
These people were neither bent on
war nor pleasure. They were pass
ing from the United States to Europe
in matters Of vital necessty-some
to assist in caring for victims of the
war. They were not in the war zone
except in this one sense:
BY sinking the Lusitania Germany
proves to the world that Great Britain
does not control the sea; that she is
still able to defy the mighty sea
power of her enemy.
The same act accomplished in New
York harhor would seem almost as
justifisbIe for the same purpose.
In proving her ability and prowess,
Germany assaults friend and foe. It
is the latest development of civil
ized' warfare. Human life is nothing
if its taking proves a claim.
But we are convinced this one &C.
will go farther to convince the whole
world that German domination Of the
world would be relentless, than have
all previous acts Of war. =.
We feel that yesterday must 90
down as a black Friday in German
history; that since yesterday world
sympathy for the German cause has
shrunk tremendously.

We are waiting to hear the disarma-
ment crowd tell us that if the United
States had no navy the Gulflight would

On the other hand. to declare that
if we had superlative fleet the Gulf
light would not have been torpedoed
is to admit that we'd have been mixed
up in the war already If we had
dared.

1.-THE Larger Love-"

elizabeth Powers Merrill.)
Do not dream l love thee less, dear
l do but love thee more,
AS down the past my swift eyes peer
Upon the days OF yOre.
Those golden hours have long been
dumb
The hours of jox@sand spring
Tomorrows and tornorrowS come,
But Youth has taken wing!
Do not dream I love thee less, dear
What if thy hair is gray?
I hold thee dearer year by year,
Love sanctifies the way.
When | have seen thee bowed with care,
My heart for thee has yearned,-
But God was only leading where
Lifes bigger things are learned!
Do not dream l love thee less, dear,
My love has deeper grown,
With every joy and every tear
With every flower that's blown.
1t only seems but yesterday
l was both young and fair
TOmorrOWS and tOmorroWS lay
Their silver on my hair!
Do not dream I love thee less, dear,
My heart remembers all:
The days afar, the days anear,
The bitter tears that fall.
But sorrow. death. and all things here.
A larger life have spun
A larger love from year to year
A love that makes us one!
