.TITNEY-TROLLEy AGAIN.

Now the trouble has reached poor 1 Danbury. Operation of the Danbury and Bethel Street railway company may be suspended November 1 unless iitney competition is eliminated. says the receiver of that company.
 Meanwhile many people are walk ing to work in New London. as pro test against the 10 cent trolley fare. There is talk Of seeking the repeal of the iitney restricting ordinance there if the 10 cent trolley fare is continued.
 There is no news in the statement that winter is coming. It is known that transportation is more difficult in that season of the year. Some New Britain ties say that last winter they de- pended entirely on the jitneys which ran in the tracks beaten out by the trolley cars that failedto eoPe. Others say that had il not been for the trol- leys they would not have been abIo to get down town at all.
 Winter is coming! Perhaps the trouble between the jitneys and the Connecticut company will reach this city about the time the snow piles high Perhaps the jitneys will strug- gle through it. uhe snow. not the trouble. but how are they to travel through that snow if tha Connecticut company does not peat the way?
 Certainly the Company cannot go on raising fares indefinitely and live: certainly it must give the best service 1t can. But equally certainly we must have the trolleys and it Is to be hoped sincerely that the jttneys will be allowed to run and will run. even if it is hard work.
 The Connecticut company, so neces- sary to us. is reminded that as a rule the loss to 1t through the jitncys in the wtrer time is negligible. Any ac- ton it might take toward discontinu- ing service now would seem to be for the purpose of discommoding the people and making them feel how necessary arc the trolleys, and not to increase the company's revenue. Ac- ton hy the company now. therefore, would be extremely ill advised if the good will of the people is considered by 1t as an asset.

 It is generally believed that the women have not taken as much inte" est in the ballot as was expected. This is but natural as they were restrained for various reasons. some because they did not wish to become entan- gled in 'sordid politics and others because of their timidity. In the flu ture this t;midity and apathy will probably disappear as the ladies be- come more accustomed to what is now a novelty.
 It should not be thought from the foregoing remarks that the Observer is blind to the important role women will play in the November election. Both parties have succeeded in in tereSting the fair sex to such an eN- tent that they are combing the high ways and byways with automobiles in search of women who applied to be made voters. but who have not reg istered.

 Reference Is not made to prices all over the country. about which there has been such talk and predictions The reference is to prices right here in New Britain.
 High prices can be found without much trouble in this city. To find the lower ones may take some looking about and some study of the advertis- ing pages of the papers. But they arc here.
