After a long struggle the home rule bill for Ireland has passed the house of commons, an Important step for the carrylngr into effect of that logisla tion after long years of steady and in si stent effort. Not only at home but to Irishmen the world over It is the oause for rejoicing in the same pro portion as it is in the emerald isle. It means some time yet before It goes Into operation for the house of lords an be expected to do Its utmost to overthrow it, but its strength Is less than it 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 comfortable ma jority through the aid given tiiem by their allies. The success of the home rule meas ure today means a much different ac compllshment than it would have dur ing the days of Gladstone. The bill 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 .IJor three decades or more. Its proponents, however, see therein the beginning of different things along1 the lines which they de- sire and through which a3 a beginning 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 denied them. The action of the com mons has placed home rule ti the front as the live issue to which great er interest than ever will be given. THE ARSON PLOTS. Because of revelations which have been made in the -two largest cities of the country that firebugs make their living, and a good one. from carry ing on the crime of arson, the author ities are making rigid investigations of th 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 renters of tene ments and procurers of insurance for large sums on small amounts are claimed to exist and the statement of Fire Commissioner Johnson that one-quarter of the fires in the metrop olis are of incendiary origin, and the agreement of fire insurance men that flftee en per cent, of them may result J from that cause. It is high time that a determ'ned effort was made to over come this peril. Xew Tork is not alone fn suffering from this condition for Chicago is at work mdeavoring to ferret out and overcome the same thing. Fire is bad enough when it results from reasonable 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 PRESIDENTS 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 win be chosen and the suggestion has been made that he will not confine him self to his party in the gathering about him of the corps of department beads. It would be in accordance witn the action of other presidents if hr did go outside the democratic ranks in making up his cabinet Inasmuch as Presidents Hayes. Cleveland. Roose velt and Taft did so. The possibility of th-e Idea of calling in men from other parties causes the New York Tribune to say that by so doing Mr, Wilson would "break no new furrow In politics If Tie goes outside th dem ocrat i a party for some of his advis ers. Little political significance in fact would attach to the holea of me or two nen-demoeratie advisers. The in dividual afTillatioHa ef a cabinet offl. oer no Junger loom largo, If be comes a part of the administration In whieh he serves, and the administrp. tion takes its eelor almost entirely from the viewa and peiieles if the president. The new administrit:eB will be esaetiy what Mr, Wilsn akes it, no matter what fnty be tha torn-, inal polities! assfleiatiens pf these whom he selects as eawinet tffi";ers." What a president needs foe his cabinet is sapafele men, in sympathy With his peiieies who pan be daptnd d nson fW sound advice for tha sue cesa ef (lis administration and iwfe eea: - ETTOR'S ADVICE. Exception is being taken by Joseph Ettor to the published reports, made of his speech to- the striking waiters in New York city. Since coming into prominence In connection 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 -evidently 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 Strike, should return to work determined to znatke It "the unsafest thing In the world for a capitalist to eat food .pre pared by a member of their union.' 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 eatable. In dealing with such a ticklish thins as a strike, wherein many tempera ments are concerned, it is advisable to weigh one's words with the utmost care and use them not to inflame peo pie 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 always the best policy in whatever matter advice is being given to say just what is 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 sjind 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 turmoil, a state of affairs which should be checked not only for their own wel fare, but for the relief of those who are subjects of other countries and look 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 received 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 rev. 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. An armistice in 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 He 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 Xew York Americans is in effect he ought to be parceling out stories 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 is planning to get the ideas of Governor Marshall on men afd politics. That Is a talk he ought to have had a long time ago.

' How some little, sting affects our opinions. If the minister in his sermon utters a truth Which atings Us we are caught saying, "the sermon did not amount to much regardless of our profession al piety, or lack of it.- One thing, by the way, that is the matter with the churches is that there Isn t difference enough between the .prof essedly pious and the real sinners, when it comes rignt down to conduct under provoca tion. - We all admire our better halves until they corner ue in a falsebood, and then we let so our private opin ion of them. Nervous centers get sore when there Is 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. I cannot endorse the sentiment of Beectrer that "the flower is the sweet est thing God ever created and for got to put a soul into." God never Lforgets the flower has no need of a finul What ar flowers? The French recognize that pansles 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 Is a 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, etc. All things in na ture are . an expression of invisible power, ruowers do not neea a soui for they in part represent the Soul of the Universe the over-soui. xney demonstrate how out of impurity may come purity how from the dust at our feet may be evolved Deauty. iney illustrate cooperation, for without the aid of insects hundreds of thousands of them would disappear from the earth. It was Joubart who said: "Children are more in need of models than of critics!" Who would think so to hear the children of the present generation hauled 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 usuffly inclined to go them one better. Some people think they are doing their duty when they set their children one gooa example ana 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 like smoking cigarettes and forming other pernicious habits? Of models that dwarf thev have too many: or 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 recognize 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 not invited to loaf around the throne and beg for favors with the expectation of getting then. He is warned to make his mind re ceptive to the truth, when the truth shall 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 said: "There is a day coming when many will cry Lord, Lord, and I shall know them not be cause they have not ke-' the law." It is curious how some people appear to think there is virtue in ugliness of certain sorts. There Isn't a meanness 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 denied to us. tt Is rather more to the point 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, I do not know what it Is, unless it is true womanhood. I 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 mlllenium 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 sleep, but a poor pugilist can't? Why the man of no means feels competent to advise a millionaire what to do with his money Why the good don't live out half their days, and the wicked bear up under the snow of age? What mak-es the "piker" think he is It, when someone else pays all the bills? I never was good at conundrums, and must confess there is no answer in me for one of these. Perhaps you do not notice the queer things In life. What makes the woman who Is nib bling all the time declare that she is a little eater? I shall have to Jet you guess, because I cannot. pity the workman who thinks t takes a smarter man te beat his liv ing out of his employer than to earn it, He is a man who is stafldinsT in his ewn light with no prespeet of getting eut ef it unless he can get a better viewpoint of life, The man who studies to kill time is usually siaying his ewn prospeets in life, and doesn't knew it. His selfishness makes him blind to' his ewn interests. The faat is the welfare of the workman is de- pendent upon the sueeess ef his em ployer. The man who leeks sharpest after the interests ef the employer is improving his ewn prospeets in life.

" Pretty Mrs. Woodbridge ; was in tears. She had married Walter Wood bridge only six months ago, and she felt, and all her acquaintances agreed with her, that it was an ideal mar riage, for Ruth Russell and Walter Woodbridge were well mated. They had known each other ail their lives had many mutual tastes, many friends in common, and all bid fair for a hap py married life in a lovely home. What then 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 filled 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, Walter 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 patient way in which he will take the books and finish them breaks my heart. He is sueh : a splendid ac countant himself ,he eannet realize how anyone can be so stupid as I am over figures and I hate te disappoint 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 brown hair to match the hazel eyes, whieh were BULLETIN'S SPECIAL 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 York street, by the college au thorities. Since 1S67 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 years ago the old house was replaced by a more luxurious dormitory, which had housed a good proportion of the freshmen, until by Dean Jones' order last fall Garland's with the other private rooming houses, were officially deprived of their clien tele. In the last week it has again been made read" for occupancy, and was opened on Wednesday, The sten was taken in view of the fact that there will be in all probability a larger entering class at eollege next autumn than can be accommodated in the dormitories, even now that Wright hall has been completed, said Treas urer George 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 again 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. Sir William 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. 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 SuDerin 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 Hierh School Teachers. They contended that the high school could not continue to meef both the requirements for admis sion to x aie aemanacu h l present ana the increasingly Insistent demands for technical and special training from pupils who cannot enter college. In the past few years the number of high school pupils has Increased with re markable strides, but the percentage of these same nunlls who enter college has remained almost stationary, about 5 per cent. The . proposals of the high school teaehers are that Yale should limit its requirements to subjects whieh do not eeiiBt mere than three-quarters of the high scheel, and the remaining work Should be entirely elective. It was further desired that this elective work be aeeepted upon e.ertifieate, while a mrtre general examination on, the other subieets was desired. The matter ef entranee Is really one were found te be faithless instead ef faithful that the system ef bosses be eame neeessary, Honest labor is Bel dam Utsewn into enforced idleness. usually sparkling with animation, though now their lustre was 4m med by tears. A charming picture she made in her pretty room, her attire in perfect keeping with her surrounding., 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 bid 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'd like to help you." . "I'd be so thankful if you would, but there's something wrong. Now all those bills!. Walter has a page here marked bills payable, but I've paid them all once, and they ought not to be paid egfii, 1 am sure; but I can not get the balance right if I don't put them there. What can. be the mat ter!" "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. Woodbridge appeared soon, and greeted Mabel cordially, for all his wife's friends were welcome to him, and the table was always well-appointed; 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 a 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 I detected traces "of tears when we 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; I'll do it myself after this." "No, Walter," pleaded his wife, "let me try again. Mabel told me some things about it today. If I do not suc ceed next time, I'll give It up, but I want to try onee more." True enough the next time the ac eeunts came out all right much to Ruth's delight, and her husband's words of praise were a rich reward fer her painstaking, and never again did she find her aeeeunt book a cause for tears, though I fear she will never cheese bookkeeping fer a vocation. AN IDLER. of the live questions of the day with both Yale and -ublic schools. It is noteworthy that the smaller col leges of this and eip-hboring states, with their less rigid requirements, are enrolling an inereaein- 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, Thl year there are no men from Nor wich in the freshman class of the col lege, although there are several in the Scientific school. But. en the other hand, if .the re quirements are kept high. It means better preparation, therefore more rapid progress in eollege 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 transfer 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 alumni. But the e-ift 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 to the proposed union or any other new organization. The Panama Canal Tolls was the subject ch osen for the annual triangu lar debate between Harvard, Yale and Princeton or. March 19 at a conference here Saturday. The question Is: Re solved, That the present attitude of the 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 brouoht the collections 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 relics, it was found, had been delayed to the following boat. A salaried head coach in football is to be appointed shortly by Captain Ketcham with the advice of the grad uate advisory committee, but except in this respect the system will remain unchanged. The captain will retain supreme control and the head coach will be under him. On-lv a year's con tract will be signed. There will be the usual field and assistant coaches and the advisory committee of five just ap pointed will relieve the head coach of some of his possibilities and help out line a general football policy. The new coach will be a graduate of sev eral years ago, and among several nam?s that of Hinckey Is a strong possibility. Wilier Camp, head of the advisory committee. Is strongly In fa vor of him.

A college president, addressing a company of ministers, related an in cident of his trip abroad. Standing one day on a wharf In Japan he excited the curiosoty of a laborer, who was wheel ing freight. The little yellow man seemed determined to know what had brought the American to Japan. "Come buy cargo?" he asked in his pigeon English, as he passed along with his load to the warehouse. He meant to inquire if the stranger had come for business reasons. Receiving a negative reply, he made another attempton his second trip, throwing out the inquiry, "Come, look an' see" by which he meant to ask if the stranger were a tourist, bent merely on looking about the country. The gentleman shook his head agatn and the coolie ventured one more guess, saying, as he trundled his barrow past the third time. "Spec' die soon " that is, was the maji there in quest of health.
