A southern churchman condemns modern high society as more vice-ridden than Rome in its worst days. The remark is likely ignorant of Roman history or the present social scene, and the critic argues that sweeping invectives do little good while evils exist that merit reform.
The author argues removing street cars from Washington street would give relief but warns diverting them only between Summer and Essex streets worsens congestion at Summer street. Suggest diverting exits farther down Washington street to relieve bottlenecks and reduce crowding at existing turns.
The Post endorses the Journal editorial urge for a wealthy backer to fund a safe and artistic Harvard bridge. The old structure is repeatedly repaired with little lasting benefit and is a danger to Boston and Cambridge as it may collapse into the Charles. A millionaire could immortalize himself by funding a proper bridge.
The article notes strong growth in women registering to vote in Massachusetts, mainly to influence school board elections. Fall River reports over 8000 voters, Brockton about 7000, New Bedford 2000, Lawrence unusually shows 11000 yet no women registered, signaling keen interest in family matters amid partial suffrage.
The piece notes Britain may allow imprisoned suffragettes to starve themselves rather than force feeding. It weighs cruelty of feeding against potential protests if released and suggests letting militants refuse sustenance on their own responsibility as a possible wisest course.
The speaker labels the movement anomalous discreditable and intolerable and challenges the British government to find a better approach. If no effective plan is found to combat the movement, the speaker says it should be abandoned and future actions stopped.
The Supreme Court declares the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific merger a violation of the Sherman Act and must be undone. Justice Day states the two systems were competitors in interstate commerce before the stock purchase and the absorption suppressed competition, constituting a restraint of commerce. The ruling signals far reaching implications for railroads nationwide and the era of mergers and gentlemen’s agreements.
The act has funded near half a million dollars in awards to 30 000 to 40 000 claimants. It delivers immediate relief, reduces litigation and delay, and court appeals have been rare. Fewer than a third pursued courts and no decided cases reached trial. It also improves accident prevention and workplace safety in dangerous trades. The piece then mocks and lampoons rising Boston traffic rules, urging motorists to slow and follow streetcar tracks, with satirical advice about city limits and crank-starts.
A humorous editorial note suggests selling an auto engine for junk and mating car parts to a street car, then abandons the plan as unsafe or impractical, proposing walking as quicker. The tone mocks transport inefficiency and mirrors old newspaper whimsy.

The narrative traces Bulgaria from early uprisings against Ottoman rule through the brutal massacres at Batak to its 1878 independence after Plevna and Shipka.
