Sidelight Woman Suffrage. (New York World

Instead of making it cause for grievance that the women voters of her state have shown that they can't stand together" in politics the Col orado Suffragist who threatens to abandon her cherished principles should be heartened. It is the best message she could bear to the rest of the country in support of votes for women.
 If women on receiving the ballott were to be herded like flock of sheep and all made to vote one way, going down the line,' as the Colorado suf- fragis pleads, they would merely be part of political machine, swayed one way and another from time to time as chance might direct. In her disappointment, Mrs. Martha J. Gran mer of the State Board of Pardons talks like a district boss whose gang had got away from him.
 Women's independence as voters is one of the things that make many professional politicians look with ap- prehension upon their entrance into public affairs. If they could be drilled in advance and lined up in body for any one ticket or set of candidates, the rest would be easy. But in Col orado, where they have been voting for forty years, they cant stand to- gether," which means that they are free voters and recognize no boss.

Fire ResponsibiIity.
(Providence Journal.l

Y 2 - !.
 Another state has been added to the list of those in which property owners who disregard rules and ordinances for the prevention of fire may be sued for damages. Pennsylvania apparent ly has noted the result of a test case in the New York court-the defendant was required to pay the cost of ex- tinguishing fire because of refusal to comply with the notices of the fire department as to the violation of safety regulations. The new law just signed by the governor of Pennsyl- vania holds individuals and corpora tions financially responsible for dam ages caused by negligence or violations of laws devised for the prevention of fire. E
 There is nothing unreasonable in legislation along this line. Every property owner should be willing to cooperate with the inspectors of the fire departments in the removal of waste materials, the storage of com bustibles and the arrangements of buildings. Usually the requirements are not at all burdensome; in fact, the laws are criticised because they call for too little in the way of precautions New York and Pennsylvania have

fallen into such deplorable disuse. Is one to fix the blame upon the most popular brands of chewing gum, or is one to find the cause in the hot-fron- the-press output that passes current for literature? Or is the reason to be found in the lingo of the sporting world. In our excessive speed, which allows time only for that which makes for results, we prate much of efficiL ency. It is a curious fact that a skill full use of the mother tongue and downright efficiency are not more commonly recognized as close rela- tions. For, after all, the adequate ex- pression of an idea is nothing more or less than proof that the idea has first ~. been clearly. and effectively thought out. It is popular fallacy that to think is the only operation necessary.
 It is time that the good people who use the English language realized that clear thought and clear expression of thought go hand in hand. Take away the one, and you lack the other. This is the relation between the proper use of English and efficiency. This dis covery it is which has determined the teachers in the Harvard business school to teach their pupils English composition as a prerequisite to ef- hciency in business. The sooner the two are bracketed in every field of work, the sooner will efficiency be- come less phrase and more fact. And the sooner American institutions of higher learning unite in informing their students with a deep respect for the proper uses of their language, the sooner will they raise themselves above one of the most formidable in- dictments which can now be brought against them.

WHAT OTHERS SAY Views on all sides of timely questions as discussed in ex- changes that come to Herald off1co.
Britain's War Cabinet.
 : (Bridgeport Post.) l.

The thing which will strike the world most forcibly in the proposed coalition Cabinet for Great Britain, during the continuance of the great war is the strong evidence it presents of the sinking of all party feeling dur ing the great crisis. There has been a marked exhibition of this general feeling throughout Empire. Now comes an illustration to emphasize this condition in that the party in power will call upon the strong men of the opposition to come and assist in the executive work of the govern lnent. T%s
 The wisdom of such a procedure 10 one can question. To illustrate from our own party situation. If we should have war such a coalition might be represented by an invitation from President Wilson to Elihu Root to become secretary of state, former Senator Burton of Ohio to be Secre- tary of the Navy and possibly Con- gressman Hill to be Secretary of the Treasury This would retire Bryan, Daniels and McAdoo. Is there an American who would resent the change? Not one unless he is par tisan above a patriot
 U ally constructed for the stress of war It was built up to deal with home problems inbolving no strain other than party. As in all such stations i'll democracy efficiency had to be surrendered to secure party harmony. This is the chief weakness Of govern. ment by the people. But it is a weak ness which they would rather stand than to have the strength which comes alone so largely from autocratic con- trol and the stifiing of individualism.
 In peace times no vital harm is done. But when the nation is in a war of gigantic character weakness is disclosed andi 1t creates loss of ener- gy everywhere. It is to repair this weakness that the present Liberal Government in Great Britain drafts Of the Conservative Party opposition the best that party has in the way of administrative ability.
 It is all a striking exhibition of the unity of purpose existing in Great Britain. During the few weeks of last July before the war Great Britain E was in the midst of one of this most turbulent party contests of recent year. Indeed so strnuous was the situation that Germany actually be- leVed reVolutlon was DTeeolns. put when war came it instantly ceased. Now the remarkable exhibition of the ability of the people governing themselves to meet all demands is to be displayed by a combination of strong men from all parties joining together to furnish a united front against the common foe. It is a development highly credit able to both the political parties of Great Britain, with special reference to the Conservative in coming to the assistance of the Liberal by furnish ing to that party the very quality which the Conservative invacia bly, possesses to a high degree above the | Liberal-that of administrative ability.

VERDICT FOR ROOSEVELT.

We now have the Roosevelt-Barnes action taken off our hands by the ver- dict of jury which had gone into the matter pretty thoroughly after court hours, Judging by the time it took to reach a decision. Forty bal lots were necessary to make a final action.
 The jury did not disagree to any ex- tent on the defendants testimony, but the main cause of dissension was an attempt to reach a settlement of costs. Under the New York law a libel suit must be settled by the loser paying all costs. The colonel did not insist on this point and the jury was ready to put the affair on fifty fifty basis until it found that that would not con- stitute a verdict. Everything that MT. Roosevelt charged Is true,'' found the jury. 'and the plaintiff not having been libelled is entitled to no dam ages Thus another trial passes into history. z IAS CIldIlCS5 IO1 d StSp lAIO IiiS Spot- light of international fame were great ly enlarged by all concerned, and the colonel has added another to his long list of achievements. 1t matters not to him whether he faces lions or the court. A great deal of political muck was raked from the bottom of the argumentive pool and nberally plas- tered over several individuals, some of them disfnterested parties. A great deal of publicity was achieved by the, principals, although the actions of the colonel in -many quarters is deplored. It Is thought that he said almost too much to prove his case, although what he said is probably true. MT. Barnes has his defendants, but they are not as numerous as might be.
 Finally publicity for Burns, motor man, was obtained by the hold-out proclivities of said Burns in an eff ficient manner. Burns might be able to take a fall o,ft of the presidency himself in 1916. He probably, will appear at Hanm ersteins' for a week or two anyhow.

Making Murder Efficient.
(Ansonia Sentinel.)


 An indication of the care taken by the German admiralty to make the tragedy of the Lusitania complete and all embracing may be found in the statements made by the commanders of the Narragansett and Etonian, steamers, which were in the vicinity of the Lusitania when she was struck by torpedo. Her wireless calls for aid were heard by the operators of both vessels. They turned promptly in the direction of the sinking liner. But they never reached their goal Sub marines, stationed in the vicinity, checked their course with torpedoes and they were compelled to leave the victims to the dreadful fate which calculated inhumanity had planned for them. Tn the light of these damning facts it seems a waste of time and paper for Germany to try to shift the blame for the loss of the American passengers on the Lusitania. They were deliberately condemned to death by the promoters of Germany's submarine warfare and the execution took place with mercy and even or- dinary humanity conspicuous by its absence. Germany may justify her course to the satisfaction of her own perverted apologists but she can never make her plea with success before the nations of the world. The just verdict against her is imperishably written in the blood of her innocent victims. Nothing that she can do in the way of reparation can wipe away that stain. There are crimes that finger through eternity and this is one of them.

English and Enciency.

(New Haven Journal-Courier.
 Not the least formidable of the in- dictments brought commonly against the college graduate is that he often knows every tongue but his own. With a spirit of progressiveness which other universities might we'll emulate, Har- ward has looked into the truth of this allegation. What the doctors of Har- ward discovered--a1d we suspect what the faculties of other universities might likewise discover-was that at the hands of large number of the students Englsh was receiving pretty bad treatment. The number of stu dents in the school of business ad- ministration, recruited from the lead ing colleges and universities of the country, who were incapable of writ ing letter correctly and clearly and who were guilty of the most slovenly and incoherent expression of thought by means of the written word, must have been discovered by the good doc tors of Harvard with a great deal of discomfort. But the outcome of their researches was encouraging Here after, the student heading toward a degree must give expression to his

 Newspaper men all over the state were deeply grieved to learn of the death of John O'Neill, editor of the New Britain Herald which occurred suddenly Tuesday morning He was an able writer and his editorial con- ments were always interesting. and showed him to be very sincere and em1nently fair in his treatment of all subjects. He wrote with the courage Of his convictions and he made the editorial page of the New Britain Herald one of the best in Connecti- cut. He will be greatly missed, not only by the people of New Brita'n, among whom he had labored as a newspaper man for more than 25 years, but also by many of his fel- low newspaper men throughout the state. He was a man of fine char e. ter, was held in the highest esteem and was a credit to the newspaper profession.

Spies.
(New London Day.)

N4NOW Ddy.1
 Antone Kuepferle, the German spy who hanged himself in London in or der to escape the death on the gal lows that seemed inevitable, is mere ly one more of those devoted beings who from time immemorial have risked more than life itself in the se- cret service of a belligerent nation and lost.
 The duty of the spy is extraor- dinarily hazardous, it demands the loftiest form of bravery and the pos session of the keenest of wits-yet the spy is always execrated by his ene- mics, treated with but scant consid- eration by neutrals and even among his own people seldom receives a tithe the credit given to the hero of the battlefield, though his work may have called for more of sheer courage and a degree of devotion surpassing that of the man who performs valorous deeds in the excitement of conflict
 Kuepferle did the best sle knew how in the service of his country He em- ployed deception, trickery and dealt in lies. But that is what all spies do; otherwise they could not be spies at all. And ne died, which is nothing more than thousands of his countrymen have done in this war. But he died alone, surrounded by unfriendliness and contempt, while those others died together and with friends at their backs.
 Why should Kuepferle be thought less of. why should any spy, German, French, English, perhaps some time again as in the past American, be thought less of because his duty and his peril lay apart from the guns and in the shadow of the gallows? Yet he will be, for that is the fate of the spy and will always be. No monuments are built to them.

There was lost to the state in the death of John O'Neill in New Britain this week one of the most conscien- tious and faithful of it's newspaper men, he having served twenty five years with the Herald of which he was editor at the time of his death. He was a straightf onward, alert, sim cere man whose writing was directed by honest conviction. He was a care full student of public matters and his opinion carried much weight in his town. Of pleasing personality he made many friends who were shocked by his sudden death, but at the same time realized that he went as he would have wished, working to the last.

EXPLOITATION OF WAR.


 sentiment at the Lake Mohonk con. ference yesterday when he favored the insurance of countries against war by the large interests was theor- etically very fine. Capital could keep any country from war if it was sufh- ciently interested. If the United States for instance held large amounts of German government bonds and was able to affect the finances of that country by suddenly offering the holdings on tickle. market thereby causing a depreciation of value at any time when war was considered imni nent, it might be a step in the right direction. But many millions or dollars would have to be invested by the government in pursuit of the eventuality of bankruptcy an enemy and it is this that makes the plan un- reasonable.
 The idea that a large community of capitalists -insuring country or coun- tries against war would work for peace in case of a crisis is very con1- mendable. They doubtlessly would. They would also probably accomplish their purpose. According to many though it is to capitals interest to promote war for many reasons. High CT prices are obtainable for goods and, as in everything, the burden of ex- pense comes upon the consumer.
 Congressman Clyde H. Tavenmer, speaking in Congress lately laid bars what he characterized the "tremend- ous syndication and wide sympathies of armor-plate patriotism" The or ganization of a world wide war trust is explained. A study of the
 great scheme is derived from atten- 1 ton to the Harvey United Steel Co.,. a concern registered in England in I 1901 and presumably still doing busi-
 ness.
