The possibilities of another yacht yace for America’s cup with Sir Thom- #s Lipton as the chalienger rests upon Xhe disclosures which will be revealed when his challenge is opened this week Bnd the result of whatever subsequent wonferences which may be necessary the arranging of the details. Sir Fhomas has maintained a desire to ave the regulations concerming the Jace modified in a number of ways ¥hich would operate to his advan- Jge in sending a challenging vacht Rcross the Atlantic, but it is not prob- Mble that there will be any material Yoncessions from the terms as set forth Vv the donor of the cup. It must be Jealized that in issuing a challenge Jor a cup the contest for which is gov- yrned by certain stipulated rules, both Jhe challenger and the defender must meet the requirements, and that it is Poor sportsmanship to endeavor to dictate terms which are in violation thereof. He apparently is reconciled to the tonstruction of a yacht which can be tailed across the ocean, but his un- derstood desire to, Testrict the race to a seventy-five footer is bevond the bounds of reason. There is nothing to bar the challenger constructing his inasmuch it chts from 65 to 10 feet can compete, but it is im- proper to hold the defender to any imit for the purpose of favoring the particular design of the across the water builder. It is to be hoped that 30 such demand will spoil the chance a big event in 1914. OPPOSED TO RIDERS. After experiences in national affair ¥ith the disastrous effects of ‘rider: )tached tp important bills, and aften imes the most important appropria- fon bills, it is partict interesting jo mote that President Wilson's atti- fde thereon 15 in accord with the several fimes expressed opinion of Mr. Yaft, who even opposed them to the | point of applyin to measur which otherwise ive rec h gnature. actice { | CUBA'S AMNESTY BILL. Cuba’apparently fails to realize the good services which this country per- formed in protesting against the pas- sage of the amnesty bill, one of the first duties which fell to the lot of Secretary Bryan. The administration is soen to change on the island and President Gomez will zive way to President-elect Menocal. ' The bill ap- parently was meant as a handicap to the new administration. which prom- 1ses to be of a different character from the present. By the bill the release of 3.000 prisoners was provided for throughout the island, meaning the turning loose of a larze number of dangerous characters and a menace to the business Interests, in cities and on plantations. ‘With such an instrument aimed at the welfare of the island it 'is for- tunate that Cuba is still under the advisory wing of this government. The law promised no end of trouble to the island and the new administration and by it plans were being laid for the return to power of the present au- thorities against whem a hard cam- paign was waged. The releasing of the convicts would mean endless law- lessness for Cuba and they would be under obligations to those who sought their freedom. The law was also planned to thwart any move on the part of the administration which takes office in May, to carry out their prom- ise to search out and punish those who have been taking part in the alleged extensive graft operations which have prevailed. For the sake of maintain- ing a government adequate for pro- tection of life, property and individual liberty this country acted and it should receive the thanks of Cuba. BETTER ARBITRATION ACT. From the present operation of the Erdman act which is the law under which the difficulties of the railrooads and their firemen are being adjusted, will be given the latest basis for mak- ing any changes in its present stipu- lations. Tt is manifest that tne act can be materially strengthened to the advantage of all who are concerned under its operations, and that changes would overcome the objections which kept the participants in the present ar- bitration so I$ng apart. It was not wifich thev differed on. but | arbitration the method under which it shoula be | carried out. Some suggestions which at least meet the points involved are made by ex-Mayor Seth Low of New York, who would increase thg number of arbi- trators so that the ultimate decision in important matters would not be made by one man. the three interests roads, the emploves and the public— two representatives each, or to. the public he would give three when it was desired to have an odd number on the arbitration board in which case “a majority of the board must com- prehend, in whole or in part, two of the interests involved.” This was the contention of the rafl- roads that more than three should | constitute the board and —that there should be a longer period than thirty days for the hearing of the evidence. He would give to involved—the rail- Whenever any attempt is made to amend the Erdman act there 1s no question hut what these will recalve careful attention among the other changes which may be suggested, or which the present hearing may make manifest for the fairest arbitration.

During the| past 3 »y attaching the seven vear tent of office clause to the rtion bills a harmful attac ppon the civil service rules but it was tortunate covered and eliminated. Such lemsiation which takes the form of ders is generally that which ¥ill not stand coming before congress lor investigation and consideration wpon its merits. Efforts are made to| neak it through by attaching it to s which must be passed for the ntenance and operation of the gov- | | i ernment and it often results in the holding un of necessary legislation and protracting the sessions. It is to be| hoped that President Wilson wili main- | tain his stand in this regard and that riders will meet with such opposition as to eliminate the practice. Tt demanded in the interest of good leg- islation. One of the indications of the excel- lent condition in which the country was left by one administration for the otler is the remarkable activity on the part of the manufacturers of the coun- try which is shown by the statement of imports. Not only is the total value of manufacturers’ materials imported in January and the seven months end- ing with January greater than the cor- responding period of last year, but an | examination of the quantities of the| various articles of this class shows 2 marked increase in the quantity im- ported. For the month the imports of all raw material for manufacturing showed ar increase of eleven million while for the seven months period an increase of 87 million was shown. This increase is not due to an in- crease in the value of the imports for a comparison by quantities indicates that they are larger mot only for these two periods, but, in most cases, for any earlier period. Cotton, wool. silk, hides, rubber, tobacco, lumber, fibers and ores all show larger quantities, raw cotton showing a remarkable in- crease. This all indicates that they are brought in as the result of ihe de- mands of business, a fact which must be taken into consideration when vlans are being made for the changing of the economic conditions of the coun- try. With business at its best it s going to require some extraordinary evidence to show whervin it 15 wise to change from assured conditions to uncertainties. Baltimore now knows what a blow- ing up the Panama canal work has missed It was just between twilight and éark that a ersey cow, owned by Farmer Hollis, jumped the field fence inte the highway and sauntered down the read. She wasn't In search of pastures greater than these she had ieft. She wasn't hoping to fall in with another cow of her breed and pass the time o' day. She simply wanted a saunter all by her lonesome, and vears and vears ago, before the auto came inte use, it weuld have been a safe thing for a cow to do. As Miss Jersey stepped slowly along enjoying the beauties of the evening, an auto was coming up from the di- rection of Glen Head. It contained two young men and the chauffeur. It might have been going 30 miles an hour, but if the question was before a_court it would have been contended that the speed was about half that. Whatever. were the figures, it stole upon the cow unheard and hoisted her inlo the ditch and broke her back The house of Farmer Hillis was only 80 rods away, but there was no going back to notify him of the accident. The cow was dead, and that settled that. It had been stated that the ani- maj belonged to Farmer Hollis. So it did in a way. In several other ways it belonged to his daughter Florence, who had petted and cared for it snce its birth. It made quite a difference whose cow it was. Next morning the hired man report- ed the tragedy. Miss Florence went down the road and viewed the body and wept. and then returned to the house to ask her father, who was par- tially an invalid: hat are vou going to do about it “It was an auto, T suppose?” es.” “And it may belong to any one of a thousand people?” “Of course.” “and be 50 miles away by this time >’ “Just so 5 “Well, there you are. What can I do about it?’ “What! Are vou going to make mo effert to get damages?” “The sheriff would pile up a bill of 50 and hit no clue. I don't see that anything can be done. “Weil, I do!” was the vigorous reply from the daugher. “That cow was worth 380 and somebody has got to pay it. If you don't want to move in the matter 1 will.” “Go ahead,” said the father as he sighed and turned away. Half an hour later Miss Flrence was on -the road with her pony and cart. Two milcs up the highway was a roadhouse at which nine out of 10 autos, bound either way, might be counteod on to Stop. The charces were more good that the machine that killed the Jersey stopped there for a few minutes. The young men would want beer or cigars. The girl drove up and called for the proprietor to come out. “An auto about 7 o'clock " he mused at her query. “Yes, there was one. It held two voung men. It went down the road and must have passed vour house.” “And the voung men—were they strangers ?” was asked. “Well, yes and no. I know that one, and he is the owner of the machine, is Burt Merriam, and the other is Steve Daylon. They were great chums at college, I believe. They had two beers here and went on.' “And this Mr. Merriam—Where does he live, please?” “Over at Brookside, I understand.” “That's all—thanks. “Run down a cow or a hog for the old man last night, and she't going to raiee a row about it said the land- lora as he watched the girl drive away. She drove Into GGlen Head and to the office of a lawyer and told her story. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. The Right Side.

This so-called bomb was the appeal Mr. Root made to the convention just betore they voted en the question, ad- It was tifen plac- ed in a museum, where it grew dusty and musty fer fifteen vears, until in 1969 the women went to the legisla- ture for a hearing on a suffrage bill They: found Mr, Roet, at that time United States senator-elect, moving abeut_among the legislators, and the New York papers quoted him as say- ing. to Senator Wadsworth: “I made a speech in oppesitien in 1894; I den’t think the situatien has changed much since then. and 1 see no reason for changing my view; SPEECH MOULDY WITH AGE. The ancient speech was hunted up and published in a New York news- paper with flaming headlines. 1t was then again placed among the relics, where it hos_accumulated mould for four years.

You might as well try to frighten the trained soldiers of the United States army with an old blun- derbuss! One would suppose that aft- er, nineteen years Senator Root would have thought up something new to say, but the New York newspaper, when it published the speech in 1309, said it “represented the strongest arguments which the suffrage advecates would have to confute,” so anything further would be an anti-climax, Their move- ment long ago left such arguments and those who made them far in the rear. When anybedy says “Tho granting of suffrage would be a loss to all women, an injury to the state and te every man and every woman in the state’ they simply point to the nine where wornen vote and pass on, Senator Reot paid in 1909 that he had not ehanged his mind since 1894, He had net dene so apparently in 1910,when President Taft consented to welsome the National Suffrage convention te Washington, for he himself placed in! the president’s hands a letter of pro- fest signed by the nine officers of the New Yorlk Anti-Suffrage association, of which Mrs. lieot was a member, The attitude of the suffragists beth then and now leminds one of am anecdole in Puneh Litile girl ~Mother, that is such a hatefu] hey; wienover he sees me he mukes an ugly faee Afother—Very sude of him; I hope you den's A it back, Litile girl -6, dear. ®a 1 just tusra up my Bose and treat nim with despis- ory.

MRS. WILLIAM A. NORTON. Norwich, March 10, 1913. Senator Root and Anti-Suffrage. Mr. Editor: We have read the 'haif- column letter giving Senator Root's opinion on womer ‘and the ballot, and we concluded with a feeling of regret, that if Mr. Root thinks he is right it sheuld take him so long to explain why. If the ballot, he says, was a “natural right” then women should have it “though the heavens fall.” Just what he means by a “‘natura! right” is not clear. Surely he cannot think that suffrage Is an unnatural right. If it s, then why should men have it? The| | divine distribution of powers, etc., etc., | | he s rests with the male. So says | the male. There was a time, also, | | when it was a supposed axlom that the Ldlvine right was the prerogative of kings. Later on it only belonged to the nobles. After a while it extended | to the gentry, and finally the common | people had inkiing_that it was a prerogutive of theirs. The Declaration of Independence stated it is an {nalieh- able right—that is, a right born with the individual, and from which he can- not be detached, Very soon after its | promulgation, we learned that this in- | alienable right enly belonged te white men, as understeod by the framers of the dseument, and it beeame necessary te make a new provision te cover men of color. Bome have not vet learned this. Hewever, we find that in defin- | ing this netural right, this divine right, there has been an extension of its breadth and meaning. Every one of interpretations has had its | | | | these new bitter oppcsition and its big and little orponents, but the extension has al- ways prevailed. If the home is the throne, and the highest exercise of power is that which forms the con- science, surely home *ls where the woman has proved her right to the ex- | ervise of power..Women as monarch have not falled to show their superi- | ority in the exercise of the govern- mental functions. If she can sit on a | nation’s throne, and direct its affairs, sanely does it Seem reasopable to say she cannot vote for the person who is to cecupy that honorable position? Can | she instruct her sens and daughters in the influences of the wil] that con- trol the impulses of men, and vet be forbidden to teach the instrumentali- ties that, in the final analysis, fixes those influences into shape in the form of laws that govern and restrain those parts of scciety which are bevond or below the :each of grasious influences? | Some of us are wondering what has | started this new canvass in Norwich against woman suffrage; It .would seem as if there was abundance of op- position among the male contingents. Perhaps we should hail with delight the new endsaver; it may be an im- provement on the late employment of seme, in their house-te-house whists, but it wili take a larger argument and a better one than that of Senator Root to convince the thinking part of the community that this is an end of the diseussion, or that he can say: | “f am Siy Oracis, let no deg When | spe my meull, bark, A SUPPRAGETTIH.

Class distinctions are never to be overcome by one class rising up against others, or by one class being kind and good to others, nor by rail- ing at all classes in general. Classes can be abolished only by our ignoring them. Every victory the laboring class. wins over the endowed class 1asa defeat. ATl movements for the welfarc of the poorer classes do s much harm as g00d in the long run. The only sentiment that goes to the root of the matter and really cures the class evil is that sentimen. which insists 'upon looking on every man and woman a human being, and con siders every human being, rich or poo ignorant or'cultured, decent or crim- inal, as endowed with the common heritage of hopes, fears, virtues and weaknesses. There hardly any legal injustice, commerc privilege or social insan- ity that damns some persons without reason and exalts others without rea- son, but'can be traced to the accept- ance of the class idea by the commu- nity. The class spirit is the most ancient, honorable and deadly foe to numan happiness. Nothing but successive generations of determined men who insist upon justice, sanity and truth, can avail to overcome it.
