THE HOME RULE BILL.
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

- 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.
The democrats are ,-: getting some
strong arguments against slashing the
tariff and the new schedule to be pro

THE MAN WHO TALKS
Most humankind are thin, skinned
and foolish in their resentments. ' 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

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.

A COMPLICATED ACCOUNT .
(Written Specially for The Bulletin.) "
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.

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.

leges of this and eip-hboring states,

enrolling an inereaein- number of stu

conditions, might very probably have
entered Yale. For example, almost ev

Free Academy has sent down a vary
ing number of men to Yale academic,

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.

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 "
