VOL, Xa Octas aioe No. 40 
THE State oF Massacuuserts has at last taken an 
honorable step to assist the widows within its borders 
with dependent children. One of the crimes of social 
life has been the suffering and hardships which have been 
born by many heroic women who have braved the storms 
of life for themselves and their children. By the provis- 
ions of the new act, every city and town within the state 
shall, through the overseers of the poor, aid mothers with 
dependent children under fourteen. There are many in- 
dependent women who will scorn the proffered aid and 
press her own hard way, but the prejudices which are 
honorable must be overcome and the new help regarded 
as it was intended, as a pension and not a charity con- 
tribution. That the funds are to be administered by the 
overseers of the poor is only incidental and has no bearing 
on the intent of the state to make it a pension and not 
a charity. It is a good investment to the state to provide 
these mothers with more comfort. The resulting state 
economy will be seen in the bright lads and lassies from 
these homes. Our most valuable product is not in the 
marts of trade, but in our homes,—the boys and girls. 
Tue Interstate COMMERCE COMMISSION suggests 
the new President of the New Haven road “be permitted 
to devote himself primarily to the problems of public 
safety in operation which the railway management is now 
under the highest compulsion of duty and humanity prop- 
erly to solve.” Every stockholder will agree that this 
safety policy suggested by the commission should be fol- 
lowed. It is not to be supposed for a moment that the 
stockholders, directors and managers of a road encour- 
age “accidents.” The New Haven has been having “ill 
luck,’ but the wind will change. Only the complete col- 
lapse of the merchantile enterprises of New England will 
end in the failure of the road. 
You Have to Have a college education to apply for 
a Yale-Harvard ticket. It is going to be harder than 
ever to get them. ‘There are still many who will be will- 
ing to sell their name cheap. Every ticket will have 
the name of the individual to whom it was issued em- 
bossed upon its face. The black list is not long. The 
new plan will not tend to increase it. 
THe New Commisston in Boston has scored still 
another victory in the successful arranagement with the 
North German Lloyd Line for a new steamship line. 
ONE oF THE Best SicNns of our times has been the 
absence of money in the Republican campaign for the 
Governship. The new primary system has at least helped 
in this regard. Captain Gardner has heroically and suc- 
cessfully guarded expenditures in his campaign and he is 
to be commended for his good judgment. The wasteful 
expenditures of money last year in the Presidential com- 
paign was a disgrace to our republic. More than one 
man failed “to flop” to the Progressive party because of 
the “keg of money that was broken open” in Massachu- 
setts. It is to be hoped that present economy in cam- 
paign expenditures may be a permanent and not a pass- 
ing incident in the political life of the state. 
It 1s Now Assurep that the manufacturers of the 
future will be able to produce light that shall be “cool” 
comparatively speaking. The disadvantage that light has 
in many forms of work to which man puts it is the heat 
in it. It is the heat in light that has baffled the pro- 
jecting quality of work with light. With the new form 
of light, pictures may be thrown with a beam of light. 
With the practical adaption of this form of light to the — 
moving picture industry it will be possible to use the pres- — 
ent films longer and it will be possible for the operator to 
tarry on any particular scene in a film without damage 
by heat to the film. 
Tur NuMBER oF Voter's who voted last year for 
the Progressive ticket and who this year intend to vote — 
for Gardner is increasing. Gardner has always been a 
Progressive within the party; in fact, he was the origi- 
nal “Progressive,” but he preferred to stay by and work — 
in the party than to bolt. Huis candidacy has consequent- 
ly been welcomed by the Progressives who have wished 
to return or stay by the party. The storm is about over 
and with Gardner elected Governor and the official leader 
of the party within the state a new era will be ushered 
in TOminevG soa. 
Mr. THEODORE RooseveLT has placed the Boston 
Herald in his Annanias club because it has accused him 
of being ambitious. Everyone knows that T. R. wishes 
to be President again and the Herald’s forecast that he — 
will be a contestant for the Republican nomination three 
years ahead is not unthinkable. It nettled the Lion 
Hunter sufficiently “to draw his fire.” Doubtless T. R. 
and the Progressive party, so-called, would consider it 
quite a victory if their leader could capture the Republi- 
can party nomination, 
Tue Issuance of new regulations concerning the 
great Yale-Harvard football tickets goes with the red 
maples and the chilly September mornings. You may 
tell the seasons by the sports. 
Presipent Tarr that was and Professor Taft that 
is, is likely soon to be Dean. President, professor or 
dean he has won a position of honor and respect among 
his people. 
Tur Younc StupENt who pedaled his bicycle eleven 
hundred miles to attend college has the right sort of © 
spirit to make a man. 
Tur Depresstnc Marker shows clearly, neverthe- 
less, that there are men who are purchasing for the long 
pull. 
THe Mexico War Scare is about over. “Wilson 
that’s all!”
