Maude M. Wilkinson, the moving
picture pianist at Bellows Falls, who
admitted that she took bichloride of
mercury tablets Jan. 6, remains in a
very critical condition at the hotel
Rockingham and the chances are
against her recovery. Her mouth is
liberated and her throat so sore il is
hardly possible TO swallow and she is
also suffering from special neuritis.
Distilled water is being used as much
as possible TO alleviate the action of
the mercury upon her system. She
has not yet given any reason for her
act.

The legislators in Montpelier may
think that they are having some fun
with Brother Hapgood, but when they
get through they may find that he
has been making monkeys out of them.
Just because Marshall sits with bowed
head and closed eyes is no sign that
he is asleep. Neither is he dreaming.
He is thinking and when he rouses
from his apparent lethargy he has a
line Of action all prepared. Happy is
wise TO all the tricks in legislation as
well as in business and it takes a
pretty good one to get past him with
something which he does not want
passed.

MEN AGITATING FOR SUFFRAGE
IN DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
ARE ASKED TO REMEMBER
WOMEN.

The National American Woman Suf--
frage association, through its congress
sional committee, is making vigor-
Gus effort to have the Washington
Chamber of Commerce include women
suffrage in its proposed amendment TO
the Federal Constitution granting rep
resentation to the District of Columbia
in the Senate, the House Of Represen-
tatives, and the Electoral College.
A letter has been sent to Mr.. Will
liam F. Guide, president of the Wash.
ington Chamber of Commerce, in be-
half Of the National association, sign
ed by Mrs. Medill Mccormick as a
member Of the executive board, and
Mrs. Antoinette Funk, executive vice
chairman of the congressional commit
tee, requesting that the Chamber Of
Commerce reconsider its decision on,
the scope of the proposed amendment
SO as specifically to include women
suffrage.
The District Of Columbia has no
voice in its own government or in that
of the nation. It's commissioners, ap-
pointed by the President, can recon-
mend legislation for the District, but
an enactment Of such legislation, even
in the most trivial matters, is in the
hands of Congress, in which the citi-
zens Of the District have no represen-
tation.
For years the residents Of Washing
ton have been agitating this question
of suffrage. Practically since the or
ganization of the Chamber of Com
merce efforts have been made to get
that body to take decided stand with
regard to it. Two months ago for the
first time the Chamber voted in favor
of suffrage in the District Of Column
bia, but did not specify the kind Of
suffrage wanted, nor how it was to be
obtained. A special committee Of ten
members was appointed to formulate
ways and means Of bringing about the
end sought, and their report was
adopted at meeting Of the Chamber.
The committee decided that the par
lituidi ioiH VI suffrage WHICH Lne
Chamber should advocate for the Dis
riot of Columbia is representation in
he Senate and House, and in the Elec-
oral College, which can be secured
,nly through an amendment to the
federal Constitution.
At this meeting Mrs. Funk was al
owed the unusual privilege of appear
ng before the Chamber and making
Ier argument in person. She was en-
Enthusiastically received by the mem
ers, but no action was taken.
The letter to Mr.. GUIDE raises the
oint that this is unique political
ituation; that Congress, by reason Of
IS absolute authority in the govern
,ent of the District, has here for the
Wt time an opportunity TO enfran-
Mise women without taking back into
ne constitution fright Originally
ranted TO the States; furthermore,
lat this is an opportunity, which will
,t be overlooked by the women OF
merica, millions Of whom through
re ballot have already voice in fed

AS TO Naluing Nour baggage,
Waterbury Anncrican.)

1here is a curious thing about the
Enforcement of that law invented by
senator Cummins of Iowa, which re-
CURES passenger TO swear to a
valuation of his baggage before he
can check it from state into
another
In New York CITY YOU cannot
check trunk over to Jersey City
without swearing to its value. A
Waterbury citizen. who has just re-
turned from a trip to the Pacific
coast, going out by the Santa Fee and
coming back by the Canadian Rockies
heard nothing about the law after he
left New York. His trunks had to
be valued before leaving for Chicago,
this being about the middle of June.
When he left Chicago for the Grand
Canyon, no valuation was required.
, lie asked the baggagemaster about
it, and the bagga gemaster said they
hadn't begun, as yet. to enforce the
law out there This was the last he
heard about the law, though he
checked the trunks from San Fran
cisco to Portland, Orc, and from there
tn Seattle, Wash. and on through
till he reached New York and had to
recheck them to Waterbury. Then
he was once more obliged to put a
valuation on them. Even in checking
the trunks from Ranff, in the Canad-
ian Rockies through to New York,
when they were examined and sealed
KY the United States customs officer,
no question as to the valuation was
raised.
Why, in heavens name, should this
obnoxious law be enforced here in the
East and ignored everywhere else in
the United States? This is a ques-
ton which ought to be answered by
the United States Secretary of the
Treasury, or else by the Interstate
Commerce Commission, whose func-
ton it is to enforce the law.

ade.
(Ansonia Sentinel.)

There is justice tempered with mer-
cy, in the decision of the secretary of
the navy and the president in the cases
of the mfdShfpmen at Annapolis ac-
cused of cribbing. Two are sentenced
to dismissal from the service. Twelve
others are disciplined and sweeping
changes in the method of conducting
examinations are recommended Thus
is ended a scandal such as has not for
a long time stained the record of the
navy.
The two men dismissed were those
who were directly responsible for the
"cribbing" scandal They are in cf-
feet, the ones caught red handed, the
ing-leaders in the dishOnorable enter
prise. They were properly dismissed
And it was equally just that those who
were only guilty of improper conduct
but not guilty of deliberate cribbing
should be accorded less drastic treat
ment. Many of the men accused were
honorably acquitted on the charges.
The verdict is one that comends it,
self to those who have the welfare OF
the academy at heart and cherish the
honor of the service. There has been
no embarrassing. The men have suf-
fcred in accordance with the degree of
heir offcnse against the rules of hon
or.
And now the thing for the men to
do who nave suffered from the SEN
tence of the court is to buckle down to
work and live down the disgrace Of
their conviction. They will find now
that they have been punished, they
will be given just as square deal as
any others of the men in The acad-
envy. All they have to do is to live up
to its regulations of devotion to coun-
try and of maintaining their honor
stainless in the midst of temptation.

the financial district of London have
decided to come down to the level
of the proletariat. In the olden days
the high hat was a mark of distinc-
ton Only he who had money, or who
handled money, was privileged, to wear
one. Coupled with a cane and
'double-bow knot there was an air
OF aristocracy that accompanied the
young gallant promenading under
shiny turhan
But all that has changed and the
high hat is going on long vacation.
Thus does cruel war make inrOads on
the little vanities of mankind. 1t re-
duces all men to the same level, it
brings on sacrifices that were never
dreamed of, takes away luxuries that
have become part and parcel of life
itself In the old days the song ran,
"Have you seen O'Grady, oh, he's
dressed up so completely, oh, with his
high silk hat and his double bow
knot; he's divil among the ladies,
OH" But that bit of doggeral must be
supplanted by a more dismal dirge,
for O'Grady is not dressed up. If
he is dressed up he has no place to
go, and so the dressing is futile. Cab
arets are closed, for want of actors
and actresses who are either fighting
in the trenches or nursing the wound
cd. Money is not being spent as law
ishly as in the past, because the life
of the nation depends on saving al this
time. And so with the high silk hat
disappearing from the money mart
Of London there comes the feeling |
that all the joy is being taken out OF
life. However, these are merely the
vicissitudcs of war, and when the
booming of cannon has been sllenceo
on the hill and the sunshine of peace
lights up the darkness of strife the
"COPPER" may come back and take its
place in the ranks of civilized haber-
dashery.

Small! Change For Consumer.
Norwich Buli2inD

There cannot help being popular
interest in the direction of the inter-
state commerce commission Just an
nOunced making reduction IN the
rates for the transportation Of anthra-
cite coal. In view of the conditions
Under which many of the railroads
Gre operating it can be expected that
it will be the ground for stiff protest
and even a demand for a rehearing
hut when the large profits which other
roads are making as the result OF the
hauling of coal are consid erred it can
not but be looked upon as step in
the right direction. 1t can be read
lily understood that when profits are
irterfered with it furnishes the great
est ground for protest whether it
is justified not
Just how the consumer will benefit
by the decision cannot be told. That
the cost of coal is reduced might on
first thought be interpreted as mean
ing that that reduction would accrue
to the benefit of the fellow who utilities
the product, but few and far between
are the instances where such actually
follows. That it should be brought
ABOUT is tho one logical result, but
when prices are Increased to make
up for higher rate of wages for
the miners and the consumer is made
to pay millions more than the COM
ranleS pay to the employees it can
De readily seen that IL IS not such a
dlfticult matter to apply that policy
when freight rates are reduced and
instead of allowing the consumer to
set the benefit thereof tax on another
charge somewhere else and still keep
rates. Cutting rates seldom continues
until it effects the ultimate purchaser

The Use of Flags.
Hartford POst)

A man of an inquiring turn of mind
has asked if there is any flag that
properly may be flown above "Old
Glory There is one and just one.
That flag is the Church Flag and it
is seen only on large yachts, steamers
and warships during the hour of di-
vine service. 1t is a pennant with a
blue cross in a white field. The rule
that allows the hosting of the church
is but one of the many. rules that gov
ern the use of flags, especially on
board ship.
Motorboatists, even on inland wa
ters such as the Connecticut river,
would do very we'll to study up a lit
tie more on the matter and find out
just how many breaches of maritime
etiquette they are committing when
their crafts are decked out for the
days run. Doubtless some will be
surprised and will not care when told
that pennant with any lettering on
it whatsoever, excepting the water
flag, is bad form that the Union Jack
should be flown only on Sundays and
holidays;; that two flags or pennants
on the same staff is the sign of the
land luhberS in the eyes of the salt
etc. Some may not care but then, If

Cow Wanted To Re MIXED.

" h'iaaelphia Inquirer
Mounted Policeman William Major
was at Harvey avenue and Bay Fiji
tleth street when he saw a COW stand
ing In the middle of the avenue. Be-
nina her stood fifteen automobiles
tIed with Coney Island goers, There
IS no record that the COW was doing
anything but just standing and look
ing.
None of the conversation addressed
to the COW by men autoists was pre-
serEen ny the police, but il was said
TO DC IN language tv cow can be
hlaned Ior not understanding.
Aftcr the COW had refused to be
pulled or pushed by the motorists.
Major showed her his badge and
asked her to move on. She tried
to lap him behind the ear, but that
Is all the moving she did.
Then a woman who had been
watching from a big, Gust covered
touring car bearing Connecticut
license number, said suddenly:
why, | know what the poor crea-
ture wants Won't some one please
get me a pail?"
Well, to make a long story short
pail was brought and the woman,
who Major said later wore diamonds
and most expensive summary gar
ments. sat down on the curb beside
the COW.
She sat there twenty minutes, ac-
cording to Major, and the longer she
sat the fuller of milk waXed the pal
and the more cheerful grew the COW
Both the COW and the woman were
smiling, it was said, wnen those
twenty minutes elapsed, and the Gov
gratefully moved aside and let tn,
waiting automobiles start again OF
their way-after they had cheerec
the woman from Connecticut auto

The Manhattan Cocktail.
providence JOurnal.)

The Manhattan club of New York
is preparing to celebrate, in October,
the 50th anniversary Of it's founding.
The event will be tho more nota BILE
because of the publication of the
"History of the Manhattan Club
from the pen of Col. Watterson of
Kentucky. The colonel, it seems, has
been a member of the club since soon
after it's organization. The club and
the colonel have grown into institu-
lions together.
The ark of the Jacksonian covenant
for these many years has been con-
fided to the keeping Of the Manhat-
tan club. Col. WattersOn'S history
will be no dry chrono9ical record-of
course not. The chairman of the an
nivcrsary committee says it will en-
brace his political memoirs. 1t will
be too bad if the Intention is adhered
to of limiting the edition to the club
mem ership 1000 COPIES at $40 vol
ume. Many persons of all political
persuasions would consider such a
work priceless, and cheerfully sub
