the jitney's example This is cour- tesy and convenience of those who patronize the trolley on principle or even occasionally.
 Admitted that tho trolley must start on time from it's terminal This fact is no excuse for the failure of the conductor who starts the vehicle to watch to see if. as he starts. there Is possible passenger approaching his car on the run to take it for his trip.
 If man or woman is so anxious to ride in the trolley that he runs for 1t. seeing it waiting. and the dis tance the passenger has to cover is not great, it is gross carelessness on tho part of the conductor not to wait the requisite moment before starting his car. The jitney men do it. and to this fact the jitney owes much of it's popularity. The trolley car can not stop except at appointed places. perhaps. The Jitney can. But surely the trolley car can wait at its termi- nus until those indicating a desire to take 1t are given the chance to do SO.

WOMEN AND HOUSING.

The women of New York are show ing a decided interest in the housing situation. Two of the large clubs there are meeting to hear expert speakers on the subject, and are said to be prepared to take action themselves.
 There is a place for the women in the real estate field. She, far better than man, appreciates the advantages and disadve entages of a house. and is able to make a far better selection than is a man. Closet room, position of the sinks, light, heat and every corner of a dwelling is investigated instinctively by the woman. while the general appearance is more likely to impress the man in his inspection of premises.
 For this reason it seems as though valuable suggestions would come from women who meet to consider the problem that is now playing havoc all oven the country. While in New Britain, for instance. as in New York, one is glad to get any sort of apart ment if one is without a roof the in- tuition of woman would be a great help here as elsewhere.
 The aid women could give in this matter is entirely apart from the new right to vote granted them. While all respect is due women who shrink from

RIG MAN--BIG IDEA.

The biggest man in the world" sat on table. There were no extra chairs available. but anyway his seven and n half feet of hardness seemed moro comfortable resting in that way. He was from the West and dressed the part. Spurs tangled from the heels of his boots, size only Number 9. The brim of his felt hat dropped over his eyes as he waited quietly for tho questions of the modest student of human nature to whom he had been introduced.
 "of course people look at me-" he said finally. 'It they did not \ would think something was the mat ter-you sec have been used to it all my life" IT people stare at us we wonder. II Is only the point Of view.
 Something suggested that this man who has spent most of his life in the saddle. in the far West. was not a stranger to thought He spoke good English; his were not surface eyes.
 What thing most impresses you with tho East as contrasted to tho West 2" was tho question put to him. His reply brought so many thoughts in a.ita train that no moro general questions were asked.
 "The thing that most impresses mo" he answered. lis the lack Of re- spect shown to women in the East" and the flash that came to his eye hts involuntary glance down at swol- lon knuckIes Of his right hand. were noted.
 ''out thcre.' he went on, there is no rough stun where ladies are thaes all we respect ladies. and they know us. Here" and he glanced again at his right hand. the men don't seem to feel that way-and the ladies don't seem to expect them to-" He hesitated a moment. as though fearing he was about to say something disrespectful to the sex. Then he went on: The ladies here don't seem to mind"
 "Tex" Madison remained but a few moments more. He told modestIy of little happenings to him when, a boy of twelve years and six feet. he was in the Western country familiar to his questioner, But there came to the latter that train of thought which made everything the big man said seem of small importance in the light of his first remark.
 The ladies don't seem to mind the men don't show the proper re- spect for thom." -.#
 Hero in the civilized" East he found men guilty of a lack of re- spect for women who don't seem to mind" There is .an. arraighment of man and woman as we see them here Is the failure of the man of the East the cause or effect of the feeling of aur women?
 or course we know that the women do mind-the sort of women we know. And of course the men we like do not show that disrespect. But this big chap. travelling through the coun- try. could not see inside the doors of real homes. He was speaking of the man he met on the street. in trains. in hotels: of the women he chanced to her?
 IL Is for every man to ask himself If in his daily life he is guilty of rough stun among other men. or where women are present. It is tor every woman to ask herself if her manner of speaking and acting gives to the men she meets the incentive to refrain from that rough stun" Does she inspire the respect every real man would be only too glad to give to her.

st. Paul, August 27.-Illicit traffic In

edict that went forth today.
State, county and city officials and
civic organization representatives
have united in a vigorous protest
against the liquor traffic and attend

came known, and, with the aid OF
the police department and federal
agents, expect to prosecute cam

the underground traffic that has
been sending many prisoners into
the police court on charges of drunk
enness. ..a.
Whether liquor smuggling or home
distilling and brewing Is mostly re-
sponsible for existing conditions, offi-
Gals agree that too many cases OF
intoxication are apprehended in st.
Paul. and that too many prisoners
are being tabled in police court with
drunkenness.
1t Is said that liquor can be procur-
ed in many places in st. Paul at fifty
cents per drink. II Is reported that
the federal prohibition law is openly
violated in st. Paul, so much so that

and each responded with clever en-
core number The quartet numbers
were almost uniformally good though
some of the lighter numbers seemed
to strike the more responsive chord
in the hearts Of many Of the listen
ers. When Tommy Went a Fishing
or the Little Piccaninny told his
story or the quartet Whistled Up a
Little Low Tune the audience seem
ed almost ready to join with them as
they repeated the last verse for en-
core.
Many were the expressions Of con-

concert was over and the music low
ing people of Pemberton hope these
same sentiments will give them a
return engagement at no distant
date. The concert was financially as
well as artistically success.
