After a long struggile the home rule bill for Ireland has passed the house of commons, an important step for the carrying into effect of that legisla- tion after long years of steady and in- sistent effort. Not only at home but to Irishmen the world over it is the cause for rejoicing in the same pro- portion as it is in the emerald isle. It means some time vet before it goes into operation for the house of lords aan be expected to do its utmost to overthrow it, but its strength is less than if was. Ulster, however, still of- fers determined opposition to the ef- forts and success of the nationalists Who demonstrated by their vote, how- ever, that they had a comfortabic ma- jority through the aid given tiem by their allies. The success of the home rule meas- ure today means a much different ac- complishment than it would have dur- ing the days of Gladstone. The bil} has gone to the mill many times and it has been wonderfully changed so that it bears little resemblance to the measure for which Irish leaders have been fighting .for three decades or more. Its proponents, however, see therein the beginning of different things along the lines which they de- sire and through which as a berinning they are hopeful of demonstrating their “claim to being worthy and en- titled to some of those provisions for which they fought but which were dented them. The action of the com- mons has placed home rule to the front as the live issue to which great- er interest than ever will be given. 1961, average 1905, average January 11o..ee.o.e THE ARSON PLOTS. Because of revelations which have been made in the two largest citles of the country that firebugs make their 1ving. and a good one, from carry- ing on the crime of arson, the author- ities are making rigid investigations of the so-called “arson plots” with the idea that they shall be kept at the minimum, and not only discouraged by prosecution, but that efforts shall be made to overcome the conditions which offer so attractive opportunities for the setting fire to buildings and collecting the insurance therefrom. With such confessions as have been made to the district attorney of New York whereby an association of incen- diaries and dishonest rentérs of tene- ments and procurers of insurance for larze sums on small amounts are clatmed to exist and the statement of Fire Commissioner Jobnson that one-quarter of the fires in the metrop.- olis are of incendiary origin, and the agreement of fire insurance men that fiftcen per cent. of them may result from that cause, it is high time that a determined effort as made to over- eome th erfl. New York if not alone in suffering from this condition for Chicago is at work endeavoring o ferret out and overcome the same thing. Fire is bad enough when it results from reasomable causes., but the mak- ing of arson a business and ‘thereby endangering human life and property and business of others deserves dras- tic treatment and the authorities seem likely to have interesting investiga- tions and discoveries ahead. THE PRESIDENT’S CABINET. Not as yet has President-elect Wil- son given an inkling as to who will make up his cabinet. There has been much guessing as .to who will be chosen and the suggestion has been made that he will not confine him- self to his party in the gathering sbout him of the corps of department heads. It would be in accordance wirn the action of other presidents if h. did go outside the democratic ranks in making up his cabinet inasmuch as Presldents Hayes, Cleveland, Roose- velt and Taft did so. The posasibility of the idea of calling in men from other parties causes the New York Tribune to say that by o doing Mr, Wilson would “break no new furrow in polities if ha goes outside the dem- ocratia perty for some of his advis- ers, Little polltical significance in fact would attach to the cholee of rne or two nen-democratic advisers, The in- dividual affiliations of a eabinet offia cer no longer loom large, 10s be- ecomes a part of the administratton In whieh he serves, and the administra- tion takes Its eolor almest entirely from the views and pelieles f the president, The new administrstion will be exaetly what Mr, Wilson makes i, ne matier what pay be the rem- tnal pelitieal psseeiations of (hese whem he séieets as gabinet pfficers.”’ What a president needs for his cabinet is sapable men, in s¥mipathy ‘with his pelieies whe pan pe dupend €4 aBen gound advice for ths su cesa of the administration and e con ETTOR'S ADVICE. - Exception is being taken by Jeseph Bttor to the published reports made of his speech to. the striking waitern in New York cits prominence in cennection ‘with the strike in Lawrence and his subsequent trial and acquittal Ettor has been more prominent than ever as an agitator, devoting his time to it and évidently making his living therefrom. He was charged with inciting the strikers to riot in Lawrence, but his advice in New York was that the waiters, If they happened to lose their s.rike, should return to work determined to maeke it “the unsafest thing in the world for a capitalist to eat £ood pre- pared by & member of thelr umion.” Ettor's objection to it was that the wrong construction was placed upon what he said. It was considered by the hotel men that his advice was to make the food dangerous for who- ever ate It, which seems a logical conclusion, but he meant to advise them to use sabotage, or spoil the food so that it would not be eatabl In dealing with such a ticklish thing as a strike, wherein many temper: ments are concerned, it is advisable to weigh one’s words with the utmost care and use them not to inflame peo- ple already wrought up to cause more trouble but say what is actually meant, so that it will not be possible of double construction, and so that the hearers will not take the same construction that the hotel men did. It is impossible to believe that he would give any such advice as his words seemed to indicate but it is alw. the best policy in whatever matter advice is being given to say just what iy meant THE MEXICAN SITUATION. Conditions in Mexico are not show- ing the steady degree of improvement which this country would like to see and the sending of the gunboat Denver to Acapulco to take care of the inter- ests of Americans at that point indi- cates a seriousness which recalls the earlier stages of the revolt against the Madero government. The Mexican republic has kept this country in a state of uncertainty for the past four years through the trouble during the Diaz wnd the Madero terms. It has manifested at times its ability to handle its own affairs, but these are of short duration and constant oppo- sition to the present government has kept the republic in a steady turmoll, a state of affairs which should be checked not only for their own wel- fare, but for the Telief of those who are subjects of other countries and 100k to that government for protection. This country is doubly interested in Mexican affairs. First, because it has many people there with extensive in- terests who look to this country to see that they are properly protected, and secondly because of the fact that American influence has been recetved and is being used to keep the trouble going. The latter is of course without the sanction of the government, but whatever efforts are being made in this country to finance or arm the Tev. olution should be checked. This is the duty of this country. Its policy asainst intervention is a wise one and should not be resorted to except as a last resort, but its stopping of American backing should be rigidly pursued. EDITORIAL NOTES. Mr. Wilson seems to have his own party leaders as well as the others up in the air. in An armistice the suffrage war has been declared in England. Peace terms \are to be discussed. Happy thought for today: Profits come and prophets go, but the money trust laws lie in the future. At the rate of $1.65 a day the leg- islators are being well taken care of in return for services rendered so far. Uncle Sam will have to establish an auxiliary corps of nurses when he undertakes the task of sending babies by parcel post. If Frank Chance’s contract with the New York Americans is in effect he ought to be parceling out storfes about every day to satisfy the fans. Chicago has started a crusade against crooks, but that is an effort in which every city should be active constantly and not occasionally, Governor Wilson fs planning to get the ideas of Governor Marshall on men afd politics, That is a talk he ought to have had a long time ageo. The democrats are getting some strong arguments against slashing the tariff and the mew schedule to be pro- posed will bear receiving careful thought. Mr. Wilson called in Col. Goethals to find out what he kmew about the Panama canal.

Nervous centers get sore when there ig no outward sign of in- flammation. Man goes grouchy in the presence of truth which honestly calls for reform. We, are as sweet as pie to people who we can fool and as sour as crabapples to our best friends if they trap us in some of our mean- nesses. Human nature seems to be the same the world over. | cannot endorse the sentiment of Beecher that “the flower s the sweet- est thing God ever created and for- got to put a soul into.” God never orgets—the flower has no need of a ‘What are flowers? The French recognize that pansies stand for thoughts—what flower stands for less? A flower is a thing of beauty—a plant which takes on one or many colors. In its relation to man it may be a mystery or a symbol—in its relation to God it 1s & manifestation of divine de- sign and power. Man has found in the floral kingdom a correspondence to love and the qualities of men, hence we have the language of flowers with the red rose symbolizing love, the red poppy consolation, the white chrysan- themum truth, eté. All things in mna- ture are .an expression of invisible power. Flowers do not need a soul for they in part represent the Soul of the Universe—the Over-soul. They demonstrate how out of impurity may come purity—how from the dust at our feet may be evolved beauty. They illustrate cooperation, for without the aid of insects hundreds of thousands of them would disappear from the earth. It was Joubert who sajd: “Children are m in need of models than of critics’ ‘Who would think so to hear the children of the present generation hauleg over the coals by their anx- ious parents. Parents err in expect- ing their children to live better than themselves. The bright child recog- nizes a lie or indulgence as well as adults. It gets its idea of license in life from the conduct of its parents, and is usudly Inclined to 5o them one better. Some people think they are doing their duty when they set their children one good example and several bad ones. When you ask your- selves if you are good models for your children, doesn’t the question remain unanswered? Is it not the models of little vices among men that make juveniles in haste to do manly things ilke smoking cigarettes and forming other perniclous habits? Of models that dwarf they have too many; of models that bless they have too few. Why? There are many men who are pray- ing for light who are not conscious of having received what they asked for. The first thing to do is to recogmize that God helps only those who help themselves. When such a prayer is being made there is a conflict on, and the soul of the petitioner is in it. He must do something besides ask for light, for it is up to him to do all he can to dispel darkness. If he cannot drive the darkness out of his mind, how can divine light come in? Man's re lation to his Heavenly Father is co= operative—he is mnot invited to loaf around the throme and beg for favors with the expectation of getting ther. He is warned to make his mind re- ceptive to the truth, when the truth sball make him free! “Know the truth!” is the injunction which means seek it—work for it. Knowledge of every kind is power, but none of it is the fruit of indolence. There are many folks who think they are recognized by the Lord, who don’t know their poor relations, never mind how worthy they may be; but we notice as we peruse the scriptures that they can get no assurance that the Lord will know them, which seems to be of the most importance. They do not know that if they are to make an offering to the Lord which will be ac- ceptable in His sight, if they have aught against their brother (that means any man), they must first make their peace with him, There is no winning favor with the Lord in any old way, for He has sald: “There is a day coming when many will cry Lord, Lord, and I shall know them net be- cause thev have met ke-' the law.” It is eurious hew seme people appear to think there is virtue in ugliness of certain sorts. There isn’'t & meenness under the sun that isn’t condemned in seripture, and when we have annihilat- ed our meannesses we shall be pre- pared to say: I am better than thou.” But then such a license is denfed to us. It is rather more to the peint in this world to’ strive to be a man than to strive to be an angel. If there is any- thing more angelic than true man- hood, T do not know what it is, unless it is true womanhood. T have seen men striving to be angels who were always lamenting their frailities and declaring that they were poor worms of the dust; and I felt impressed that was the poorest kind of angelic timber. When Horace Greeley was advised to live for heaven he replied: “One world at a time, gentlemen; one world at a time.” He seemed to think a man who lived well enough for this world was living well enough for the next world. That seems rational to me, and yet my brother may rise up and say that is one of the most irrational things ever said on earth. In our mentality we are as wide apart as that, and usually both of us are sure we are right. The Saviour told how the millenium could be produced on earth, but we do not take to His methods. Living for that in this world seems to preclude the necessity for living for anything else. Can you tell why the man who is quick to give advice is usually slow to take it? Or why the man who ad- mires a stylish woman most is not the one who pays the bills? Why a poor minister can put a man_to slecp, but a poor pugilist can’t? Why the man of no means feels competent to advise a milllonaire what to do with his money Why the good don't live out half their days, and the wicked bear up under the spmow of age?

They had known each other all their lives had many mutual tastes, many friends in comumneon, and all bid fair for a hap- married life in a lovely home. What en could have brought her to this state of weeping at the time of my story? Certainly not the lack of mon- ey, for there was an abundance of that on both sides of the house. Nor could it be any lack in her home furnishings, as in that direction every wish_was gratified as soon as known, for Walter was indulgent to the last degree whenever Ruth expressed a desire for anything. Neither had she and Walter had a quarrel; such a thing had never occurred between them, nor was it likely to happen; they loved each other too dearly for that. - ‘What, then, could be the cause of those tears, which fllled her eyes and overflowed as fast as she wiped them away? Perhaps the pile of bills and account-books spread out on the desk before her could tell the tale of her woe. With pencil in one hand she was endeavoring to reduce chaos to order, while with the other she mop- ped the tears which would come to her lovely eyes. Yes, it was her house- hold accounts which had brought her to this woeful state, and it was simply a repetition of previous experience, only this seemed a worse muddle than usual. Those dreadful figures would not come out straight, and the thought of what Walter would say added to her grief. Ruth understood the direction of a household for at home she had learn- ed that, and sufficient means enabled her to employ competent help. No- body could accuse her of being a poor housekeeper. But when it came to the bookkeeping, there she met her Water- loo, and gave up in despair. At _the beginning of their married life, Waiter told her the allowance he intended to set aside for her use in the household affairs. A generous sum it was, too, far beyond what she con- sidered needful, but he laughingly told her it was no more than enough, but that he expected her to be able to ac- count for its use, and he should audit the accounts once a month. * That dreadful time of showing Wal- ter the books was fast approaching, and she could not make them come out as they should. “I never can get them right” she sobbed, “and Walter will be so dis- turbed. He will not scold, but the tient way in which he will take the ooks and finish them breaks my heart. He is sueh a splendid ac- couptant himself ,he eanmet realize how anyene can be se stupid as I am over figures and I hate te disappeint him, I never ceuld get anything out of numbers when I was in school. They are teo much for my peer head.” A very lovely head it was, covered with a wealth of golden brewn hair to match the hazel eyes, whieh were BULLETIN'S SPEGIAL YALE LETTER Need of More Dormitory Room Opens Garland’s—Arrange- ments in Lecturers Completed—High School Represen- tatives Confer on Admission Requirements—Collections Received From Peru—Close of Junior Prom. New Haven, Jan. 17.—Another col- lege dormitory has been provided for the freshmen by the lease of Garland’s, at 242 Yorik street, by the college au- thorities. Since 1567 it has been a roomin= house for the students of Yale and the name of Garland is linked with many vivid events In undergraduate history. Nine vears ago the old house was replaced by a more luxurious dormitory, which had housed a good proportion of the freshmen, until by order last fall Garland's ner private rooming houses, were officially deprived of their dlien- tele, In the last week it has again been made readv for oceupancy, and was opened on Wednesday. The stenr was taken in view of the fact that there will be in all probability a larger entering class at college next autumn than can be accommodated in the dormitories, even now that Wright hall has been completed, said Treas- urer Geerge P. Day. It is expected that the prices to be charged by the college for rooms will be considerably lower than rates made by the owners when the house was managed as a pri- vate dormitory. The lease of the property calls atten- tion rather forcibly to the need of tha college for additional dormitories of its own, continued Mr. Day. It was the desire of the graduates who contrib- uted to the erection of Wright hall to provide priv-‘- rooms in college build- ings for all students in the academical department: yet within six months of the completion of the building it has become necessary for the authorities agein to grapple with the problem. The present solution can only be a tem- porary one, and it is evident that the authorities are face to face with the necessity of providing a new dormi- tory. iam Osler of Oxford univer- sity, formerly professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins. and noted for his views about a 60-year age limit, is one of the distinguished lecturers secured by Yale university this winter. He will give the Silliman series beginning April 21. Rev. Charles H. Parkhurst, D. D. of New oYrk city, and Rev. Newman Smyth, D. D, of New Haven will be the lecturers in the courses in connection with the Divinity school convocation March 31 and April 1, 2 and 3. Sir Wil The Connecticut high schools have had another important conference with the Yale committees on admission dur- ing the past week. The representative of the secondary schools was Superin- tendent of Schools John Pettibone of New Milford, and Clement C. Hyde, principal of the Hartford High school, acted as sookesman for the Connecti cut Association of Classical and Hizh School Teachers. They contended that the high school could not continue to meef both the requirements for admis- slon to Yale demanded at present and the increasingly insistent demands for technical and special training from puplls who cannot enter college. In the past few years the number of high 8chool puplls has increased with re- markable strides, but the percentage of these same bupils who enter collego has remalned almost stationary, about 5 per cent. The.proposals of the high school teaehers are that Yale should limit its requirements fo subjects which do not eount more than three-quarters of the high scheel, and the remainine work Sheuld be entirely elecilve, Tt was further desired that this electlve work be meeepted ubon ecerilfieate, while a mere general examination on the other subiecis was desired, The matier of entranee Is really ene were found te be faithiess instead of faithful that the sgystem ef bos@es be- came Reeessary, Honest laber is sel- dem thsown inte enforoed idleness, usually sparkling with animation, though now their lustre was @dim- med by tears. A charming picture she made in her pretty room, her attire in perfect keeping with her surroundings. her hair dressed in the latest fashion, adapted in a becoming way to her pe- culiar beauty. Happy in all things were it not for her evident distress over her task. So her old friend Mabel Stanton found her, coming into the room with her accustomed freedom, but starting back as she felt that she had intruded, Ruth ,however, called out to her to come in, adding that she was just the one she wanted to see ,and proceed- ed to tell her her grievance, finishing with: “I'll never get them settled, and I shall be ashamed to show them to Walter,” and a fresh outburst of tears testified to the truth of her state- ment. “Would you mind my helping you, Ruth,” begged her friend. “I do this work so much, I think I can unravel the tangle for you, and I'q like to help you.” T'd be so thankful if you would, but there’s something wrong. - Now _all those bills!.

What can. be the mat- Let me try,” urged Mabel,” with an encouraging smile, “I think we shall soon get them right”” Together they attacked the mass before them, and quickly obtained the desired result. “That seems so easy now,” said Ruth thankfully, “but it will be just as bad next time. Now stay and have din- ner with us. It is nearly time for Walter to come.” > Mr. Woadbridge appeared soon, and grected Mabel cordially, for all his wife’s friends were welcome to him, and the table was always well-appoin ed; so that a guest was a pleasure to both him and his wife. After Mabel's departure, he remarked that, as they had no engagement for the evening, it would be & good time to look over the accounts. “Well,” said Ruth, “thanks to Mabel they are right this time,” and she told of the experience of the day, and of Mabel's coming to the rescue. “I fancied 1 detected traces of tears when wé were at the table. Now I think I can explain this to you so that you will have less trouble an- other time. We cannot have you in tears over such a trifle. I had no idea it troubled you so; Il do it myself after this. “No, Walter,” pleaded his wife, “let me try again, Mabel told me some things about it teday. If I do not suc- ceed next time, I'll give it up, but 1 want te try once more.” True enough the next time the ac- counts came out all right much to Ruth's delight, and her husband's words of praise were a rich reward for her painstaking, and never again did she find her account book a cause for tears, theugh I fear she will never cheose bookkeeping fer a vocation. AN IDLER. of the live questions of the day with both Yale and ‘he -ublic schools. It is noteworthy that the smaller col- leges of this and eirhboring states, with thelr less rigid requirements, are enrolling an increasin~ number of stu- dents, some of whom, under different conditions, might very probably have entered Yale. For example, almost ev- ery fall for many years the Norwich Free Academy has sent down a vary- ing number of men to Yale academic. Thi~ year there are no men from Nor- wich in the freshman class of the col- lege, although there are several in the Scientific sehoel. But, on the other hand, if the re- quirements are kept high, it means beiter preparation, therefore more rapid progress in college and the con- tinued pre-eminence of a Yale degree. The Yale University Press during its several years of existence has taken an important part in Yale affairs, and its influence will be increased by the iransfer to it of 48,000 square feet of land at the corner of Grove and High streets. This is the old Hopkins gram- mar school property and is the gift of alumnl. But the oift is to be used as much by undergraduate as graduate interests and the plans are for a home. for the various literary and publishing organizations and the dramatic and musical clubs. All these are at pres- ent acsttered about the campus in the basements of dormitories and lecture halls. The only conditions made by the graduates are that the property is not to be owned or controlled by the university and that it shall not be de- voted fo the propesed union or any other new organization. The Panama Canal Tolls was the subject chosen for the annual triancu- lar ‘debate between Harvard, Yale and Princeton or March 19 at a conference here Saturday. The ques solved, That the present at United States government in desiring to exempt the American coastwise trade from Panama canal tolls is de- sirable. One hundred and thirty-six battered wooden cases brought the oollections made by the Yale Peruvian expedition of 1912 to New Haven this week. The bulk of the material is the plunder of the ancient graves on the slopes of the Andes, visited by Prof. Hiram Bingham and his co-workers. The scientists were seriously disturbed when news came that the United Fruit company’s steamer Turrialba had gone ashore on the Jersey coast and her cargo thrown overboard to save the ship, but the shipment of the Peruvian rellcs, it was found, had been delayed to the following boat.
