The Chicago vice com emission, after a thorough inquiry, .found that the second greatest cause .why 40,000 girls are sacrificed an Jnually to an Immoral life is "the eco Jridmic stress of Industrial life on un skilled workers, with the "enfeebling influences on the will power."

Pius parted from Napo leon with mutual expressions of good will, but within a year Napoleon's troops occupied Ancona upon the al leged necessity of protecting the Holy See. , Pius replied by asserting the independence and neutrality of his realm. In 1S08 diplomatic relations between France and Rome were brok en off, and Napoleon declared the pa pal states reunited to France. Pius responded with a. bull excommunicat ing the invaders of his territory. The Pope was forcibly carried off, first to Grenobie.tben to the royal palace of Fontatnbleau, where Napoleon induc ed him to- sign" the new concordat a century ago to-day.

In tact, m the absence of the initiative and referendum, he may do, over a wide range, such things as he pleases, and has the powers of a petty despot. The members of the Board of Aldermen are chosen by districts. They also are, in theory, servants of the people. They carry their responsibilities lightly, and do pretty much as they please, during their terms of office. They will continue to do so until the initiative and the referendum is provided ,. .. The initiative is for use mayor and the Common Council to do something which they refuse to do. , . The referendum is to undo something which the may or and aldermen have done that they should not have done. The REFERENDUM did GOOD SERVICE when the bond issiies were proposed. Had it not been that those proposals were referred to the voters, the creation of a great debt for entirely unnecessary things would now be well under way. Nobody has any doubt of the fate of the POLICE ORDINANCES, if they could be called to the ballot box by the reierehdum. The petitions would already be signed by ten per cent. of the voters and submission There is no doubt about the fate of the ordinances. They would be beaten about ten to one. " The proposed sewer bonds were beaten no more , But seven of 24 aldermen on the board can be regard ed as representing the public will with respect .to these or dinances. ' . These are the seven who stood steadfast against bribes of pap and patronage, and voted against the ordinances. ' The people of Bridgeport are not unfamiliar with the men who promoted these ordinances. This applies to those who are Democrats as well as to those who are Re publicans.

NEW YORK POLICE FORCE INCLUDES MANX CAPABLE OF HEROIC DEEDS. "Even a policeman has got a right to have some sense," said Mr. Dv- ery. Yes,' and many of them have "got a right" to wear medals that are the symbols of heroic deeds perform ed at the risk of life and limb. New York's "finest" have lately1 been the recipients of much -undesirable noto riety in the press of the world, and many brave and honest men have shared in the ignominy. This will be demonstrated on next Monday oi me American metropolis win garn er about a banquet board to pay trib ute to the members of the Honor Le gion of the New York police depart ment. "To promote and Inspire bravery,- self-sacrifice and devotion to du ty on the part of all members of the force" is the purpose of the legion, which recently came into prominence through the admission of Vincent As tor as an honorary member. Most honored of all the men who will assemble at Monday's dinner will be .Sergt. Daniel J. Fogerty, who, as may be suspected, is a son of .the "ould sod." The gallant Irishman will wear six decorations, each the emblem of a life saved. The life saving medal awarded by the United States Congress, three life saving med als of the New York police depart ment, the Life Saving Benevolent As sociation's medal, awarded for saving life on the high seas, and the medal of the Life Saving Association of New York, have all been won by Sergt. Fogerty. Among those decorations is the gold star of the New York po lice department, ' awarded ' only to BADLY NEEDED. the people of Bridgeport.

"Greater love, hath no man than this" but the policeman who wears the gold star is surely greater, for he has dared death, not for a friend, but for a stranger. Fogerty efid his fel lows have done much to redeem the New York police department, disgrac ed in the eyes of the world by Beck er and other grafters. -What thrill ing tales these men of the Honor Le gion could tell when they gather about the banquet board but ' they won't, f or modesty is ever allied to" heroism. ' 'All of which I saw, part of which I was,": Prof. Homer Zezaleel Hulbert might have said of 'japan's grabbing of Korea. Born in Vermont fifty years ago to-day, Prof. Hulbert went to Ko rea in 1886 as instructor- of the Royal School in Seoul. -', After seven years he returned to America, and for a time was principal ' of an academy at Zanesville, O. In 1894 he returned to the Far East, becoming editor of the Trilingual Press at Seoul, and after ward headmaster of the Imperial Nor mal School and founder and. editor of the Korea Review. With the support of the . Korean government and the United States State department, he did much toward introducing western educational methods. In 1905 he be came the personal representative of the Emperor of Korea, and in that capacity opposed to the full extent of his powers the annexation of Korea by- the greedy Japanese government. Prof. Hulbert was on his way to Washington, hoping- to induce-, the United States government to interfere in Nippon's plans, when the Japanese raided the royal palace at Seoul and forced Hulber's royal master to con sent to the grab. Naturally, the American educator was not popular An Japan, and he was charged with hav ing inspired the assassination of Ito. Prof. Hulbert's books include the first "History of Korea" ever printed in any foreign language, - and a "Geog raphy of the World," the first book printed in Korean by a foreigner. He is also the author of- "The Passing of Korea."

Hartford Post.) The Purcell bill, relative to Sunday observance, undoubtedly will make a strong appeal to thousands who be lieve Connecticut should alter its an cient statutes concerning the observ ance of the day The bill on the whole, seems to b carefully drawn and to offer a solution of many of the perplexing questions involved. There seems, however, to txi one se.ction on which a careful lawyer might be able to raise a technical point. For , instance, while the bill provides that under certain conditions sports of any kind may be indulged in. It limits the entertainments which may be given in the evening to pic tures or musical entertainments. The question immediately arises as to what constitutes a musical entertainment; is it merely a song recital or would a musical comedy or an opera be de scribed as a- musical entertainment? For instance, would a shrewd lawyer find it possible under tne proposed law to open the theatres to musical come dies, with their choruses and . comedy, while the doors would be barred to a Shakespearean production or any oth er performance of which music is not the basic part? This is only a minor point, it Is 'true, but it may later be deemed wor thy of scrutiny. What, to our mind is more needed than any change in the present Sun day law, is a. sense of equity and pro portion in enforcement of the law as It now exists. . We do not believe any law ought to make )t possible for a drug store to dispose of soda' foun tain drinks, ice cream, confectionery and cigars on Sunday and forbid the same privilege to confectionery and cigar stores. Neither do we believe the man who takes advantage of Sunday to nail the pickets on his fronT fence should be fined and sent to jail, while the big manufacturer is allowed to run his business all day Sunday if he sees fit, unless a complaint Is made, and when complaint. Is made, simply warned in stead of being haled to court like his poorer brother. - - Connecticut's need is not so much for more laws, as for a more sensible and equitable enforcement of law that already exist. , SIX GOVERNORS TO CONFER. ' (New Britain Herald.) Mr. Mellon has been urging team work On the "part;, of the New England states looking the . betterment of transportation conditions. He will get his wish when the governors of the six Yankee commonwealths nteet in Boston Saturday to discuss the rail road situaution. Whether the co-operation will be of a kind which makes the New York, New Haven and Hart ford the sole arbiter of New England's transportation destiny, which seems to be--Mr. Mellen's idea of co-operation, is doubtful. , i The governors' conference is an un usual procedure.. But the present railroad situation is critical and Justi fies extraordinary action.- The -'calling together, of governors - for such a conference had its precedent in Roosevelt's summons of all M.he stato executives for concerted action on tha conservation question. . r -- From this complexity of Issues there may be- outlined a plan of remedial action that would .not be possible by each state working alone in Its partic ular interest.. . PROSPERITY AND PROTECTION (MIdddetown 9un.) ': The Bridgeport Telegram yesterday had a very sensible editorial on "The Protection 'of Prosperity." The pur port of It was that while punishing wrong- doers care should be exercised that good and honorable men who con duct business in a legitimate manner are not hurt. -It will be a delicate task to separate the wheat from the ohaff, there is so - much interlocking of in terests. If, for instance, there is a coal trust, which controls both mines and transportation, which owns coal pockets and yards int large idtleia; which stores vast amounts of coal for the purpose of withholding It from the market, which in short attempts to regulate prices to suit its own sweet will regardless of the output, the ac tual cost of mining coaJ, and the needs of the people, it will. toe seen at once that all who deal in coal and sell bjy the ton, aire controlled by the trust. There may be honest coal dealers, just as there are honest ice main, plumbers, and undertakers, but the public needs to be assured that in giving- protection to them, those who are forced to seek their wares are not also made to suffer by reason of the rami fications of the . ' trust or combine. When the public is assured! that the tentacles of the octopus have been cut, and trade and' competition is free, and there is no more cold storage, no more "corners," no more holding up the market, then prosperity will need little protection for it will be able to protect Itself. ' Prosperity - should be distributed; everybody In ' this legnd who . is honest, temperate and indus trious, is entitled to a slice of pros perity. The troublei 'heretofore lhas been that a few have been protected at the expense of the many. - NOW FOR CLEAR SAILING. . , " (New, Londbn Telegraph.) That was an awfully tame, struggle In the house 'over the committee bus iness, after all. Even in the Repub lican caucus, which settled the mat ter by surrender to Thorns and Lan ders, there wasn't heated' argument enough to draw a crowd in Old Mys tic, and that is sayttng something; believe us. The legislature will now get down to business, not by any means in a hur ry, for it has adljourned until tomor row while the committe .states are being made up, but get -down to busi ness in the traditional way, which in means the" utilization of as many hours, a few days a week, as can be comfortably spared' from bid-whist and the delirious Joys of travel on the greatest, for its mileage, the longest railroad system in New England. There ought to be more speed on Capitol Hill In session time. If our solans commit an error or mistake it Is not for want of time in which to de liberate. It is now two weeks since the assembly was convened and the only tangible thing it has accomplish ed since t&e swearing in of its mem bers is a considerable bill of expense and an agreemjent about joint com mittees which should Jus as well have been reached by midnight of the first day. The compromise reached by which there will be an equal division of Re publicans and Democrats in the joint committees, if not precisely logical or in accord with some of our .notions, is at least fair and reasonable enough to form a respectable working basis and good men can get ' good results with it.
