WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

Not because of any argI- aents against woman suffra ge: not because of any naughty fear that woman would disorganize existing tradition-rot teCausc 1f anything tangible. It is the utter inability of man. ,.o wise man. 10 understand the sex. that brings consterna tion And the wiser the man the more complete is his redlizltlon of his helplessness.
 Miss Katherine Luddinston. prcsi- dent of the Connecticut Woman'S Sui frasc association, just returned from the national aSsoclation convention in Chicago, announces that although the ratification of the national suffrage amendment seems assured without the aid of Connecticut the state associa / tion will not abandon the attempt to bring Connecticut in as one of the necessary %6 states. She deprecates the failure of the Republican State Central committee to act upon the petition presented to it by members of the Mems Republican Ratification com mitlee.
 No brief is here held for the men N no were silent on this matter: no ar gument advanced tending to prove thar thelr failure to act was wise. But the situation suggests viviGly d pie turc of q perpleXed male, standing beside d. piano presided over by q vision in white or pink. On the music rack stands inc music: the man peers anxiously at il and from his contract ed throat come the words of the old song ''Ir but knew"

IS no use crying over split milk, the thousand dollars they complain of cannot be brought back by lowered tax rate, neither can the cows that were killed because they were tuber- cular. They have stated that they will oppose the appropriations for the parks. which means the depriva lion of ball grounds and amusement facilities for the people. If the voter does not wish to have ball grounds and recreation spots no one has better right to say so. In cry poor man the landlords. who hope to save on their buildings the amount of, taxes represented by a five mill difference. are removing one of the greatest amusements the poor man. has. the parks. It is certain that the "rich mau' does not care particular ly about the parks. He may jump mto his automobile and reach othe, spots for recreation.

PRESIDENT HADLEE'S
 EXPERIMENT

News that President Hadley of Yale University. has indicated his in- tention of following his previously an nounced plan of retiring from the lea adersbip D of that institution next year, recalls the scene of more than twenty years ago when he was elevated to that position. The student body, in informal torch-lSht procession, par- aded the streets of New Haven, gath cred in front of the home of the loved President Dwight. and paid honest tribute to the man who was to leave his post as the almost reNered official who represented all that was best in Yale tradition. Seriously he spoke to the young men. the blazing torches lighting his lined face and wearied eyes in which the tears Glistened. Al most solemnly the procession passed on to the home of the new president where. with words characteristically appropriate and with the awkward gestures later so often affcctionately ridiculed. President HadleE greeted his new charges. Seldom has affec- ton for passing official gone com picteIy to his successor with no diminution in the int enSity of the feel ing for the former. as was here the case. President HadleN endeared himself to the men at oncci his words were heard eagerly. his opinions re- spccted. If lie carries out his present intention the men who stood in front of his home that night long ago will be among the, most sincere of those who regret his departure.
