EDITORIAL NOTES

That wild life, here in the East, is not extinct is shown by the story of John Whittle, of Mystic, who found a young bald headed eagle in a. trap of his recently. The young bird has a wing spread of over fifty inches. After the injuries inflicted by the trap are healed the bird is to be interesting to know where it goes to; whether it continues to stay around in a section where towns and men are plenty, or, if having had one ex- perience with civilization, it chooses to go to some part of the country where men are seldom seen.
 New Jersey seems to be taking the lead in making and breaking records; concerned. It was the first state to impane1 a jury composed entirely of women. Now it has gone a step farther and impaneled a jury compos- ed of men and women both. A singu- lar feature was that among the other members of the jury was man and his wife.
 Reports continue to be received menia. One hundred thousand refu- gees in the last stages Of Restitution are said to be travelling through snow in all directions. The Armen- ian government is unable to supply them with food or relief. Observers regard Armenia as being in state of utter chaos and estimate that at least half the population has been wiped out by war and starvation. It does not seem possible for the world to much longer permit such condi- tons

BRYAN'S EASIEST JOB

~ HE NEW YORK World, that
 newspaper 50 seldom speci- ous in It's reasoning, exce1s in this field also when 1t tries its hand at sophistry. Win. Jennings Bryan has a new issue, the establishment of 0 single standard of morality for men and women. The World thinks that MT. Bryan has his hardest job ahead of him. "Sin in one sex must carry the same penalties as sin in the other. If men escape the consequences of such deeds so must women," from which point our contemporary as- surnes that nothing can be done be- cause from the beginning of. his tory woman's harshest judge has been woman. Men forgive, or at least tolerate the erring sister, but most women never do. MT. Bryan has tackled the biggest job of his life"
 MT. Bryan is not asking women to forgive the erring sister. He is ask ing them to demand equal punish ment for the erring man. When a man and woman are equally in of- fense, MT. Bryan maintains that the man should be punished in the same degree as the woman, reversing the existing method. by which the woman often goes to jail and the man to church.
 When the argument comes down to the idea of punishment instead of the idea of escape, it appears as if MT. Bryan has taken up the easiest task thing certain under the sun. among things as yet not realized, it is that women will make the double standard very unpopular and, ultimately, i'm possible.

Bom b Thrown
 For Revenge?

Who threw the bomb which startled the neighbors in the vicinity of 86 Dewey street at 5:15 o'clock yeSter- day morning and sent them rushing into the street clad in their night clothes and caused such wild excite ment?
 Eugene Bisesti and his sister Lena live upstairs in the house where the bomb went off and are both employed at the Siemon Hard Rubber plant.
 Last Monday night Bisesti was walking home from the factory with his sister. Two women who had been doing picket duty at the factory made an assault upon his sister. The wo- men were arrested and in City court Tuesday the cases were continued and the accused were released in bonds of $100 each.
 Bitter feeling is said to have result. ed among strikers and they blamed the arrest of their co-workerS on the Bisestis. The belief is the strikers sought revenge and the bomb was the result.
 It was learned today that the local union who are in charge of the work er's plea have called off their pickets at the plant three days ago as a sort of a truce but it is said that the Sienon plant has resumed operations and is not hiring back any of the old help who figured in the walk out"
