The need of it and its value is recognized by the action of individuals and or- ganizations In offering prizes for those who destroy the largest number.

Tt 1s with commendable speed that Peston has set on foot a number of investigations as the result of its dis- astrous fire. It has required a fright- ful loss of life to disclose and bring to the aftention of the Boston thorities the exact situation in cheap hotel and rooming house triets. The revelations of the fire are sufficient to indicate that plenty of effort must be used and perhaps addi- tional legislation secured in order to prevent such an awful tragedy from recurring. Tt is made plain that such places as poor men are inclined to seek for lodgings in Boston are ver- itable firetraps. The unfortunates were hemmed in without a chance for es- cape. This calls for a regulation of the butldipe and fire laws which will pre- vent recurrence of such conditions. Tt f& not at all probable that the Ar- cadia is the only place of the kind wherein hundreds of lives are endan- gered every night because of the exist- ence of the same inadequate provisions against protecting the lives of the lodgers. Not only must Boston take up the question with a view to es- tablishing better eonditions for that class of men Dbyt it must look care- fully te the necessity of fire preven- tion. Ewen though the investigations disclose no vielation of existing laws as to buildings and fire proteetion the au- the dis- heayy loss of life is sufficient te bring to an end any chance for repetition, A reasonable degree of safety should he required even in the cheap lodging house, THE PHILTPPINE POLICY. When President Wilson declared in hig message that “We must hold steadily in view their ultimate inde- pendenee™ in reference to the Philip- pine islands he enly maintained the same position which was assumed by his two predecessors. It has always been declared that the Filipinos should have their independence when they were fitted to properly govern them- selves, but it has been maintained that they should not be cast adrift until that time has asrived. The pol- icy has been that independenee should not be guaranteed to the islands at a fixed date regardless of the pro- gress which they have made or are likely to make under our direction, That they ere net ready to guide their own destinies alone iz perfeotly apparent at the preseat time and thero is no reasen to believe that they can reach that peint at a time whiech should be decided now. 'The witimate independence is the geoal which must be waorked for. "Phe sooner it can be reached the better it will please this country, byt it cannet be improperly hastened. This it is believed has been made particularly plain to the pres- ident by the eminent authorities who know the conditions and the rate of PpEegress there, and who haye given their epinions cencerning their ac- quaintance with the facts. His atti- tude on the FPhilippines is that of caution and it is & particularly sen- sible stand which he has taken, DEATH FROM AUTOS. The killing of a young woman in Derby by an automobile just after she had alighted from an electric car is another instance of the lack of care on the part of the drivers of auto- mobiles. By the state law no auto should attempt to pass a car which is stopped to leave or receive passen- gers at a speed greater than three miles an hour. Had such regulation been observed in this instance there was no reason why the machine should not have been stopped in time to avoid the trolley car passenger, who had be- corza confused by suddenly finding her- self threatened by the auto. No one should have been in a better position to have controlled the situation than the driver of the auto, who must have seen the stopped car and expected someone to leave or get on the car. The passing of electiric cars which are stopped for the convenience of the public is done with none too much | care by the auto drivers, even though | should be reve MONEY FOR MILITARY OPERA- TIONS.

PRSI New Haven, Dec. 4—The question of putting off the Yale-Harvard foot- | ball game until Thanksgiving day that has been raised in the past two Weeks and has had considerable discussion, is by no means a new one. As far back as 1892, the matter of playing on Thanksgiving day was getting aiten- tion, when Princeton was the oppo- nent and the abandonment of the hol- iday may have been the consequence of a spirit which is still felt by some and was expressed in those days by this letter to the Yale News of Dec. 1, “Give up the Thanhsgiving game, and give up playing any game in New York. ¥ou may not, like the | advice, but it is good for you all the £ ad - same.
