Little Boy Blues Daily Peril.
Philadelphia Ledger.

The chauffeur doesn't care very much when he drives into another car because the boss foots the bill Nor does the boss worry deeply about it, since he simply passes the buck along to the insurance company. When an autom obile owner buys a policy he is insuring himself against the carelessness of his own driver and the carelessness of all other drivers.
 Too bad that there is no sort of policy which will protect Little Boy Blue!
 He faces death, swift and sure, every time his small feet touch a street.
 Little Boy Blues hair stands on end when he hears about the rav- ages of wolves, bears and Indians; but all the Indians, bears and wolves in the United States have not killed so many people in 10 years as auto m obiles have slain in Philadelphia during the last six months.

Humanities in Amherst
(New York Evening Post }

Amherst's stand by the humanities in no way means that she is wanting in educational initiative; a step has just been taken toward making study informal and "aIive.' Next year fifteen special classes are to be or ganized among the seniors, each to consist of not over ten members and each to pursue it's study with em- phasis upon individual research. The extent to which treadmiIl methods are departed from is indicated in the fact that two or more professors will in some cases join in conducting these small classes.
 President Meiklejohn and Professor Todd will ''collaborate' in a course on modern problems of philosophy Two professors, one in English and one in history, will give a course on ideas of political and religious freedom in English history and literature. Among the other courses are one on social control of industrial activity. one on significant motives and ten dencies In modern literature, and one on the development of political theory Conducted on the seminar plan, their encouragement to free and many sided discussion and to zeal in study, ought to commend them to other in- stitutions

One of the Rollers.
(NeW Haven Union. )

The Springfield Republican prints of West Haven, who represents him. self to be one of the ''toiiers" It is an interesting statement, and we be- lieve it is true However, we have no narrow conception of what ''toil- ers'' is to mean in the election of November. It will not mean the men in the full dinner pail'' ranks alone. It will include men of all classes who work for a living, who are not social parasites. It will include all men who are not of the type favoring special privilege for the few or the followers of this type. However, to get back to MT. Williams, he says in part:
 'I am a republican: but I am for Wilson to the core, as I realize that he is waging the greatest and the grandest battle for democracy as against plutocracy ever Waged in this country. I have no doubt of his tri- umDhant election, because his name and fame are on every lip, and victory in the very air. I am employed in a factory in New Haven. and the Will son strength among the workers is simply amazing. Men of all classes and parties are rallying to his stan dard. The underlying sentiment among the toilers is that he has done more for the masses than any man Tn our history, and they are certainly with him with tremendous enthu- siasm. I write you this to let you know that the Nutmeg state will be there with bells on.'' -

Iron WOnumenfs WaTk
 Mexican Boundary Line

Washington, D. C., July 10.-That part of the United States Mexico boundary line extending from Fl Paso, Texas to the Pacific coast is described in the following war geog- raphy bulletin of the National Geo. graphic society, issued from Washing ton:
 After leaving the Rio Grande. the natural boundary, and striking due west from Fl PasO for 100 miles, the international line between the United States and Mexico changes direction five times before reaching the Pa clfic coast. AS if it had struck an insurmOuntable obstacle in the Big Hatchet mountains, it turns at right angles, and extends to the south for thirty miles, then strikes west again for distance of more than 16O miles to a point beyond Nogales Forming an obtuse angle, the line now runs in a nOrthWesterly direction for it's long, est leg more than 23O miles, until it reaches the Colorado river which forms the boundary for twenty miles from southwest to northeast. At Yuma, near the juncture of the Gila river With the Colorado, the line akes it's final change of direction, toward the west, terminating in the Pacific. 40 miles distant.
 This boundary is marked by 258 monuments, more than 200 of which are of cast iron weighing 800 pounds. They are six feet tall, and set in concrete. The expense of their erec- ton, borne jointly by Mexico and the United States, averaged S15O each
 With the exception of Bisbee, San ta Cruz, Yuma and San Diego, there are few settlements of any size with in a twenty miles zone on each side of the boundary, embracing an area of A, 900 square miles.
 Although the boundary was chos- en arbitrarily, when the work of sur veying began it was found that the line between the Colorado and the Rio Grande followed almost exactly the summit of the divide separating the waters flowing north into the United States from those flowing south into Mexico.
 ''The highest point on the line is at the summit of the San Luis range, a part of the continental divide. The elevation is $500 feet which is nearly 5000 feet above El Paso. It is in this high altitude that quanti- ties of game are to be found, making it one of the most interesting sections of the line. Here antelope, deer, bear and wild turkeys are plentiful, and the acorns from the evergreen oaks of the picturesque valleys attract great fOckS of wild pigeons. Many years ago there were a few struggling set dement's in this region but they were abandoned during the raids of the ruthless Apache chief Geronimo.
 One of the most considerable towns along the border is Bisbee, Ari-

features that must be considered out side of the supposed fact that the
 country is normally Republican. These are too well known to demand dis
 cussion. The one point overlooked in the whole business, however, is the fact that the Progressives as a party cannot and will not be handed
 over to Hughes body and soul by Colonel Roosevelt There were those who firmly believed that as soon as the warrior of Oyster Bay came out in favor of the Republican candidate all would be well. They felt that when the Colonel said the word the Progressives would jump. Therein lies the first great mistake. The Pro- gressives have not jumped, and many of them never intend to jump at the whip of the ring-master. At that same meeting of the New York Progressives the name of Theodore Roosevelt was hissed when some old admirer es- saved to gather in three cheers for the erstwhile leader. These things and others do not look promising for a reunited party, even if it is desired as an agency of national progress. But there is consolation in the thought that there are other agencies just as capable to carry on national progress.

Changing the War Map.
(NeW York World.)


 Since Bethmann-Hol1weg said that those who make peace must take ac- count of the war maps, the allies have followed the German example at Yer dun in altering trench lines which elsewhere remain almost unchanged for months. Disregarding the Russian attack for the moment, how do re- cent changes in the western war map compare?
 Newspaper maps are drawn arbi- trarlly from point to point named in despatches. They differ somewhat and are only approximate. Taking the average of several estimates, the al- lies up to Monday night had taken fOrty-f1Ve square miles.
 The Germans in the first three days at Verdun drove to the Forges-Sa- Mogneux- -Maucourt line of eight miles to an extreme depth of more than two miles and an average depth of some what less; in all, possibly fifteen square miles. On the 136th day they have occupied 100 square miles,
 At the rate of three days gain at PerOnne it would take the allies near ly four years to push the Germans out of France and Belgium. At the rate of the Verdun threc-day advance 1t would take more than a century to Overrun France. Justly might Beth mann-HOllWeg retort that smashing the enemy counts, not taking terri tory-but that is to abandon the war map theory.
 It must be abandoned; it is un- sound. Maps do not make victory but are made by it; victory rests upon the war power of the opponents on land and sea: and the ability of their civil population to bear the strain, labor and anguish of conflict

Damned if They're Not.
(NeW York World.O

Great grief is expressed in repubIi- can circles over the unbelievable treachery of the democratic house in including in the new revenue bill pro- tective duties on dyestuffs. This is & tariff principle to which the repubH- cans are sworn, and they would rather see the rising dye industry sac rificed and be able to make political capital in the coming campaign of the democrats failure to save it from destruction after the war.

a hay recollection that both the Democrats and the Republicans did touch on this all important question when they gathered in national con- ventiOns assembled. Also there is a disposition, upon remembering the promises to compare the Democratic plank with the Republican plank The comparison rather than being odious is interesting. The plank in the Democratic platform gets at the oues
 ton in this fashion:
 We favor the extension of the franchise to the women of the country. state by state, on the same terms as
 the men,"
 That is easily understood. It is
 ight-forward. It merely outlines
 all the former promises of President
 Wilson. Every time the women of the
 country beseiged and beseeched the
 White House in quest of votes and
 asked an endorsement from the Pres
 ident in favor of the plan to amend
 the constitution so as to grant the
 franchise to women in every state the
 President told them the individual
 states must take care of the question:
 State by state is the method he pro-
 posed. State by state, on the same terms as the men, is the manner in which the platform committee of the
 0nI9 opot tio recommended the issue
 As to the Republican method of getting around the question, it stands in class by itself. Considering all the platforms ever adopted by nation al conventions since the present form of government was instituted, there has been no such gallant stroke of genius exhibited to a vote casting public as this, the plank that out blanks any other plank ever written
 ''The Republican Party, reaffirming it's faith in government of the people, by the people and for the people, as measure of justice to one-half the adult people of the country, favors the extension of suffrage to women; but it recognizes the right of each state to settle this question for itself.''
 There it is in one full swoop. It is the epic of the day. It is a sentence destined to go down the ages as an ex- ample of meeting and al the same time l side-stepping all the damands made. | Read it through once, twice, three | times. Memorize it. Parse it. Take | it down and put it under the micro scope. Twist it around. View it from front and back. Look at it side ways. Stand it on it's head. It remains the same. It cannot be changed. It is a perfect promise. of nothing. It presents the best use of that little mark known as the semi colon. For, after telling what it believes along the line of government outlined by Abraham Lincoln it suddenly halts in front of the semi-colOn and affixes but" From then on the counter begins and the high hopes awakened fall back to the same old terrestrial plane. The Summer drive of the suffragists in New Haven County may be victorious; but not if 1t marches behind the plank in the Republican platform as approved at Chicago.
