THE FAITHFUL SERVANT.

Commenting on the recent robbery
and murder of wealthy New Yorl
woman through the cooperation O
corrupted servants, the New Yorl
Sun of yesterday has interesting edi
torial comment to make on "Un
known Servants"
Nor is there a remedy in sight,
says the writer Police registration
has often been suggested, never seri-
ously advocated. Employers trust to
luck, relying on the good faith OF
humanity, and only when a dreadful
tragedy compels recognition Of the
slender defences erected about them
do the dangers that menace them re-
ceive thought
True enough, this tragedy makes US
stop and think Of the risk we take in
taking strangers into our house to
live in close association with us, to
know our goings and comings and to
be under the same roof day and night
But on the other hand, doesn't it
make you rejoice that even in this
day and generation when SO many
Of the good old customs of our grand
mothers have been swept away on
the wings of economic and social
changes, that there are such beings
left as the faithful servants, women
whom we have trusted and may trust,
who share IN our sorrows and pleas
ures and who actually are members
of our families as truly as was the
case with the trusted servant a gen.
Grafton or so ago?
Have you read Former President
Taft's article on Votes for Women"
in the current number OF the Satur-
day Evening Post?
After ten and a half interesting
columns you come to the conclusion
that, while the former President is
by no means an "anti," and while he
DcilCNSS lIIdl SulId age - OllC Vi lilOSC
things that is bound to come" he is
not Of the opinion that women are
prepared for it yet.
His experience seems to have been
that of great many other open
minded folk When he has heard the
arguments OF the ardent sutfragists
as to the many good things that flow
from the voting of women, many of
them incline me against the
cause" When he hears what the
anti-suffragists have to say he finds
himself swerving toward the suffrage
point of view
If the truth must be told more than
one useful worker in the cause of suf-
frage has been Converted" as the
result of extreme anti-suffrage argu-
ments, and the only thing that has
revented other equally sane and
sensible folk from throwing their lot
in with the cause" has been the hys-
terical enthusiasm of those who look
upon the votes for women as the
panacea for all the political and So
cial ills of the time.

How well the U-9 did the rest Of the work cut out
Tor her is a matter OF history.
A great deal has been said about a pursued ships
~zigzagging her course so as to escape either the gum
fire or the ~torpedoes of a submarine seeking to over
haul her. and it is a fact that the steamers Graphic,
Aureus, Ava. Kathleen. Endymion and the big mail
packet Leinster actually did get away from the chal-
longing German submarines in this fashion. but it would
scarcely be safe to count upon this manoeuvre always.
The fact that these vessels eluded their pursuers will
hardly encourage other merchant craft willingly to
invite disaster. The reported presence OF submarines
in any area will no doubt he enough to keep vessels Of
trade away from those waters.
A ~zigzagging vessel cuts down her own speed, and
the average merchant freighter does not DE- more than
fourteen knots an hour at best. The biggest of the
German submarines can make better speed than this

Don't think for a moment that a submarine must
necessarily come to the surface in order to detect
the approach OF a steaming vessel. Much has been said
about the blindness Of the submarine when totally
