Our Note Book i The Silly Suffragette.-Argu- ments from Eve.—J apanese Philosophy.—Our Momen- tuous New Era.— V otes for Wcmen Inevitable. It is difficult to see how what are curiously described as Militaiat" tactics can assist (he cause of woman suffrage. That is to say, -.vlien they are continued. One wild dash of destruc- tive rebeilion may conceivably be of service in this way. Its novelty draws attention of the fickle public and the absorbed politician to uie question. Once, however, that attention has been secured, the only "tactic" tnat na>. anything at ail to recoilllHEnà it is the appeal to reason, or to intuitive con- cept. Every window broken, every head smashed, tends to render clear vision less possible, aud leaves one tound brain the leas to appeal to. ■* In the meantime, some quaint things have been said on the question, in coasection with a plebicite taKen by a London newspaper some tour years ago correspondents were arguing troui tne analogy ot Eve, the hrst wuman, the "motner of all living," as the old Book says. One wrote "from the iuca that Eve was created as man's nelp- niuol., i juQge that sue is man's equal --a judgment wuich, ol course, on that premise, has no louudation wiiutever. another wrote; "Eve was the source of all man's miseries (had he studied the book, he would have said, not the source, but the occasion, -"L-I.Cil is quite another thing) and will be the cause ot more if she gets the vote." iou see, the thought box of this versatile con- tnbution 1:. equally inharmonious. His remarks may, with even more justification, be, made to prove the opposite oi his contention; for, if women, voteless, have in lact caused all mau's inisene.s, might it not with equal and even more to roe, be argued that, were a vote given to women, she would then, unliox 'the changed cond^ itions, become a source of happiness and not misery? But, ot course, the whole tiling is absurd, any end up. There is more philosophy in the Japanese view, also quaint:—" The strength oi the nation is the home, the piliar ot the home is the woman, any injury to tile home is a menace to the nation, and no woman shouid be allowed 1,0 attend any political meeting." :1= The real fact of the matter is that the influence of women over man, for good or evil, has been tar greater than she knows or tha.n men usually admit. IVe are now entering a new era when Government wQl concern itself much more thau in the past with the details of human life and human well-being. Bvmptoms of this may be disoerned in such n ures as the Old Ago Tensions Act, the Children's Charter, the in- surance Act, or ihat which men per- haps too luridiy refer to as the "White Slave Traffic" Act'. The day when Gove-nmc t meant simply leading men out to war has gone; Government is henceforth to be increasingly absorbed in matters of life, and not of death. Glory takes Oil a new aspect; our sense (,f the heroic changes. The ruler shall no longer "wade through slaughter to a throne" he has a task before him infinitely more complex. T14,3 really serious question for us is whether we can, by any possibility, do without women in the conduct of the new social politics into which the inviolate force of human evolution is driving Ufij and the whole world.

THAT AIRSHIP. SEEN AGAIN AT CARDIFF ON SATURDAY N!úHT. MYSTERY DEEPENS. As exclusively reported on Saturday, the "mysterious light" was seen again on the preceding evening by several local people. This morning there are to band re- ports that an airship was seen on Sat- urday night and Sunday night over var- ious parts of South-west Wales A groom employed by Col. Henry Lewis, of Greenmdadow, near Cardilt, states that he distinctly saw a long, black object, with a red light at tne siern, pass overhead late 011 Saturday night, and from the direction of the city. »A Cardiff contemporary pertinently sugests that the wilder portions of Ex- moor would atford plenty of privacy, should any persons be making experi- ments which they desire to keep secret. An Aberavon policeman believes that .be saw the airship over the Mumbles last, night, travelling at a higti rate of speed. Careful inquiries by our repre- sentative, however, fail to show any corroboration of this. At Croydon yesterday, an airship is stated to have been seen, also traveiirhg very rapidly. Mysterious, aircraft have so far been observed as follows:— Dover, January -1. Yarmouth, January 15. •tfristol Channel and Cardiff, January lb. Yarmouth, January 23. Aberystwyth, January 23.

I Below we publish a report of the pro- ceedings in the Probate Court to-day regarding the estate of the late Mr. Trevanion. iu the Piobate Court this morning, Sir Samuel Evans granted an applica- tion made by ALr. ilayden on beiiali of Air. Hee W iiiiam ltees, tor an adminis- trator pendente lite regarding the will or the late Mr. Hugh Eric Trevanion, whose death on September 11th in his iiat at 1U, Grand Avenue Mansions, HOH. is now tne subject of a second u e. T.. Mr. Rayden explained that though was an application in iorni tor an administrator pendente Ifite, he also a.sked for a receiver for a small amount or rents and rpai estate to be got iu, and the heir-in-law. the father, who was represented by Mr. Graztbiook, had had notice of the motion. The Wiil, ) Mr. Hugh Eric Trevanion died at 10, Grand Avenue Mansions, Hove, on tit- 11th a will i dated June 4t;1. i;H2. and a codicil of the date. By the will lie left L].OW to Mrs. Geneste, and four other legacies, amounting to £5-jU. and £ '300 to each of his executors. The codicil contained ouiy iiic interest in certain jewellery. arious caveats had hecu entered j against the will, one by a stranger in blood, one by rbe father, and so on. On the 20th October. 1912, a. writ A a-i issued in favour of Mr. Pees William [ Roes, of Swansea, the plaintiff. The' defendants were the iiotitei- of the de- ceased. and two of his brother", and the stranger to whom he had referred. Some of tbe defences had been put in. but. ho thought, not yet all. His lordship asked for a copy of the will, which lie perused carefully. Residue to Mr. Roe. I Mr. Rayden said he had stated every- thing except that the residue of the es- I tate was to a Mr. Roe, who was not yet a party to the action, but as he was very largely interested, they had ob- tained his consent to the motion. i The estate consisted, so far as could at presont be ascertained, of real es- tate which brought in £ 140 a year; in- vestments amounting to £ 34,000 to various tradesmen of £ 21,000. There 1 was an overdraft on the Icodon, Count v and Westminster Bank of £ 2,300, and mortgages (various) of £ 2,100. The executors were Mr. Maton, one of the firm of solicitors instructing him, who was not a pari y to the suit for the present, and our. Rees. What was really necessary to be taken e?re of was" the very valuable furniture and pictures in the flat at Brighton. They also wanted sufficient money to pay the estate duties, which he thought the Government would re- quire almost before they gave them the grant of administration. They asked for the appointment as administrator of Mr. Henry Wil- liam Holland, chartered account- ant, of 27. Cannon-street, London, who has done work of the description I for the family, to to whom there was no objection. His Lordship: Is there any loose money which forms part of the estate? Mr. Rayden I don't think so. y Selling investments. 1', I ilis liOrdsmp: There is an overarart at the bank. How is it proposed to raise the monev ? Mr. RaydenBy selling some of the investments, my lord. Mr. Durley Graebrook, who said he appeared for Mr. Charles Cecil Tre-, vaiiion, and Mr. Arundel Claud Trevanion, brothers of the de- ceased, and also for the pur- poses of this motion for Mr. Hugh Arundeil Trevanion, the father and heir-at-law, a:d they recognised that it was desirable to have an administra- tor, and as far as the read estate wa4 I neei,nc,-i he consented on behalf of the father to the motion being ex-, tended so as to cover the grant of a rei ceiver, pending a suit. The brothers pleaded againsi these two testamentary documents and against several other documents seriatim, larger benefits to Mr. Hoo finally culminating in the last two documents of June, 1912. He re- served liberty to apply further, should it be desired, to extend the power of administration as time went on. Mr. Rayden asked that the order should be limited to receiving rents of the real estate, taking care of the pro- perty in the flat and raising from the in- vestments sufficient money to pay the debts and the estate duty, with liberty to apply. His Lordship, as stated, granted the order.

A TRAClC DEATH. WELL-KNOWN LLANELLY MAN'S i END I ON STATION PLATFORM. I A painful sensation was caused at Llanelly on Sunday when the news spread that at about midnight on Saturday Mr. E. T.

Thompson and Sliackell, was chairman of tne Urban Council from 1JKJ9-1911 and had also acted a»s chair- man of the Urban Education Authority. The deceased gentleman closely identi- fied himself with municipal affairs and was most faithful in the discharge of his duties until a year or so "ago he be- came undisposed. After his recovery he wa." not so regular in his attendances at t'*o Council meetings. He took an ajtira interest in | F'rjendlv Society work, and was an officer of the Prince of Wa'es Lodge of Freemasons.
