A man who shouted ''scab'' was fin

use and yet one of the cheapest i'll the
English languag e.-Ansonia Sentinel.
Germany is becoming SO alarmed
over the peril of Ethe American girl

1t looks as IL China is to adopt a
policy of retaliation for the severe eN-
clusion law of this country. Ameri-
cans will have no moral right TO COM

a contemporary observes that what
Colonel Bryan needs i'm connection

the Honorable Webster Davis could

1T is better for all concerned that n
state should not become permanently
one-sided. Connecticut suffers already
from too long dominance of one
party i'll the legislature, and it is high
time for a change-fOr the general
welfare even more than for any party
or personal reason.--Hartford Times.
If Mr. Bryan should bolt the st
Louis convention he would doubtless
have Il few followers, but not enough
to affect single electoral vote, and
electoral votes decide a presidential
contest. Mr. Bryan could not take
with him a single electoral vote from
the south. Nobody claims TINT he
could do so in the east. In all the
west there are no electoral votes he
can control that would otherwise be
cast for the democratic candidate

The American people like man of
Cannon's homely common sense
quaintness and yigor of expression,
and a generally straightforward atti-
tude toward all corners. The secret OF
the new enthusiasm felt by members
of the house for Speaker Cannon, il

may be attributed to the fact that the
sudden acquisition Of power has had
no effect in the way Of changing his
attitude towards those who came ul-
der him.--Norwich Bulletin.

thin is open from the joss house TO
the dope joints. ! hope that the re-
lations between Chinatown an youse
will always be of muchool benefit"

ey, and the students filed solemnly by
without murmur.- Exchange.
We thoroughly understand the deep
sympathy so many have with what is
called the old Puritan Sunray. They
demand its retention and they say
much that is wise in its support. I'm
fortunately for them, however, it is
very serious question whether it can
either be retained or whether there is
enough left to it to retain. 1t is more
of a question of society adapting itself
to present and pressing conditions and
in evolving new spirit of tolerance
which shall keep the bars from falling
altoGether.-NewH Haven Register.
