 WATERBURY FRANCHISE

Dennis Reardon of Holyoke has en- tered the field as a candidate for the Waterbury franchise. He was keeper of the umpires in 1904, before that he was an umpire himself, and still fur ther back was player in Waterbury. He pitched for George Harrington's club there before it was transferred to Holyoke. Albert DeWolf is still in the field for the franchise, but Harold R.

FOOTBALL NOTES.

As the elevens of Niagara and Villa Nova are not likely to meet during the season, and many of their followers ill this city are interested in the question as to which is the better team, some thing may. be obtained from the follow ing: On November z, Niagara played in Pittsburg and was defeated by the Lyceum team of that city by the score of II to 6. A couple of weeks before that Villa Nova played Lyceum and easily defeated them by the score of 29 to o. The result of these two games speaks for itself. In Pittsburg the players think that "Sal'' Slavin of this city is star and say he is one of the best that has appeared in Pittsburg this season. "Bill'' Spain is also play. ing a fine game at end.
 What is the score going to be next Sunday?
 Imagine Naugatuck and New Brit ain High playing for the championship and Waterbury not mentioned Crosby has some consolation in the fact that 1t has already defeated Meriden and will do so again if the team plays here Friday.
 Lieutenant Hyde should put his men to bed the moment they reach town Saturday evening. If he does they won't drink two pails of water on Sun day before the game starts.
 Cadets and orients should make a good game Sunday.
 Naugatuck and All-Waterbury should obtain coaches who are proficient in the art of boxing. So as to show the players the various passes.

NEW LONDON SCARED.

The New London Telegraph calls upon the management of the base ball team there to wake up and not allow the game to die. It says:
 Tt is inevitable that the talk of dropping the small towns should not be revived again next season. New London, or Norwich either, cannot begin to turn out such holiday and Sat- urday crowds as will flock to the games in the other cities, and 1t is by the holiday games that the managers get by for the season.
 "Waterburians claim that their city will become one of the leaders in point of playing and attendance. Waterbury never did shine much when 1t came to attendance and it remains to be seen whether the Brass city will do any bet ter in the time of it's rejuvenafion. With Waterbury turning out good crowds the league would be a money maker in every city but Norwich and New London. and giving New London a good team. there would be no losses connected with Fogtown.
 '-It is up to the New London man agement to see to 1t that the quiefus is not put on base ball here in a few moons. At present the game In this city is absolutely a dead letter and ( joke. The finish of the team of 1905 was nothing if not a farce, which was tolerated simply because weakening the team gave couple of fellows who had been local favorites a chance to see what they could do in bigger com Iany.-

HYPHENATED AMERICANS REBUKED
Emperor william of Germany Admin
listers q MeFited One.
Post


Emperor William of Germany has per-
formed a service that should be appreciated
by both Germans and Americans in point
eddy rebuking an American politician who
sought audience with him as "a German
American" imagining that such a designa-
ton would be pleasing to the emperor. This,
however, was not the case, and the kaiser
instructed that the request be returned with
the following message:
His imperial majesty the emperor rec
ognizes and appreciates highly a German
or an American, but such a thing as a Ger
man-American,' according TO the imperial
view. does not exist. II. therefore. you will
make your application either as an Ameri-
can or as a German II will doubtless be
granted"
No one begrudgss the naturalized citizen
his love and affection for the land OF his
birth. nor his affiliation with social organ
izations that serve to keep alive this home
sentiment among Its members. This is as
natural and commendable as the formation
of college alumni associations, or the or
ganization of Pennsylvania or other state
societies among natives OF those states who
are located elsewhere, but there is no ex-
cuse for any person who is entitled to call
himself an American citizen to seek 10 d.

ARANKING ARISE.

One of the addresses before the
convention of national bankers referred
to the abuse of managing officers of
banks making large discounts to them
selves out of the banks funds. 1t was
stated that in a great number of bank
failures there have been found among
their assets the worthless notes of high
officers of the bank for large loans-fre-
Quently. without any security at all, or
with "straw" security which proved to
be absolutely worthless. "This," the
speaker declared, as a most fragrant
and reprehensible violation of the law,
to say nothing of business ethics. 1t is
the essence of personal dishonesty"
This does not state the case too
strongly and it ought to make
an impression upon all bankers. 1t is
impossible to say 10 what extent the
abuse pointed out exists, but there is
reason to think it is pretty general, for
otherwise the author OF the address
would hardly have felt called upon to
refer to 1t. He did not suggest a rem
edy, doubtless deeming 1t sufficient be-
fore such body to call attention to the
matter, but a remedy should be provided
and perhaps congress will be called
upon to do so. That the abuse could be
reinedied by bank directors, II they
cared to do so, is not to be doubted, but
in too many banks the directors are not
as careful and vigllant in regard to such
matters as they should be. II is within
bounds to say that 90 per cent of bank
failures have been due TO the abuse
referred to by the president Of the
American Bankers association.

NOT 4 PEOPLES EIGHT.

Deplorable as are the disgraceful eX-
ing the passage of the gas lamp con-
tract, the public fully realizes that this
Ia not peoples fight, but merely fight
between two powerful franchised cor
of the street lighting fund. This was
amply proved when the call for an open
meeting to discuss the pending contract
ordinance failed to draw the attendance
of a single taxpaying citizen not directly
interested in one of the immediate cor
poratlons parties to the controversy.
Whether the gas lamp contract went
through or was blocked, no benefit or
saving could accrue to the general pub
lie. The maximum amount permitted
by the charter to be levied for street
lighting purposes is being levied from
year to year, and every cent of it is
being spent under existing contracts
with the electric lighting and gas com
panies, and If the gas company's con-
tract were not extended the electric
lighting monopoly would simply have
absorbed the entire amount available.
The unconcern of the public is ex-
planned further by the fact that the ex-
tension of the electric lighting contract
effected last spring had provided merely
for furnishing more street lamps for
the same money without any conces-
sion to the private consumers of cleo
trio light and power, while in anticipa-
ton of the gas lamp renewal contract
the gas company had already given a
material reduction in price to private
gas consumers apparently without legal
compulsion. Irrespective of the merits
of the terms of the street lighting con-
tracts the gas company had made con-
cesslons much more material and much
more available to the taxpayers and
householders than had the electric light
ing company.
The humiliating experience imposed
by this struggle ought to have at least
one good effect. 1t ought to convince
the people OF Omaha that they made
grave mistake last year when they
voted down the proposed issue of bonds
for a municipal lighting plant, which
would not only have provided street
Illumination in plenty at less cost than
we are now paying, but also have abol-
ished forever these unseemly periodical
tussles between the electric lighting and
gas corporations to see which can get
its hands into the city treasury the
farthest.

A wonderful labor Market.


The most remarkable feature OF the in
dustrial situation, the most extraordinary
proof OF the countrys prosperity, is the
easy absorption of an unprecedented flood
OF immigration. Able-bodied men and
women have been coming into the United
States at the rate OF 100000 or more every
month, on the average, for the greater
part of the last year. They are poor peo-
pie in search Of work and in urgent need
of employment. And they have found what
they sought. II the country were not pros
porous and fortunate in all the great con-
ditions of its industrial and commercial
life this could not happen. The labor mar
ket would be flooded and the state Of wage
earners made unsatisfactory in the ex-
IRENE. But In that case the tide OF immi-
grafton would never have risen to such
heights as 1t has reached. Only the best
OF good times can ever bring to the United
States 100000 homeseekers from foreign
lands in a single year.

JUDICTOUS ADVICE.

The Springfield Republican advises
life insurance policy holders not to get
into panicfover the disclosures OF NAL
administration and rottenness in the
management of certain leading COM

cies. 1t says that while uneasiness and
distrust are natural, 1T should never

policy holders are committed to see the
game through 10 a finish or TO the end Of
their contracts. and cannot withdraw
without considerable sacrifice" The
Republican remarks that there seems to
be no question that the companies now
under fire are wholly and easily solvent,
evidence of which is seen in the large
SURPRISES of all OF them, the aggregate
being nearly S2OO,OOO.0OO
The advice is judicious. Notwithstand-

RATE MAKING-OLD AND NEW.
Outline of the Amended Bill TO BE
Submitted TO Congress.

New York Commercial
According to a semi-oficlal announcement
as to President Roosevelt's program on
railroad rates regulation by the govern
ment, the administration measures will be
the old Esch-Townsend bill with important
notifications" and additions. Among the
latter are provisions covering private car
rates-in order to meet the contention that
these companies are not common carriers
terminal railroads, water and rail ship
ments and authority to examine the rail-
road companies books and records. As to
extending the Interstate Commerce Com
missions powers the modification" from
the Esch-Townsend bill is said to be this:
That the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion shall be given the power to decide
upon complaint and after full hearing
whether rate is unjust or unlawful; that
the commission shall have authority to sub
stitute rate. which shall become immedi-
ately effective and so remain unless and
until reversed by the courts. To what ex-
tent this would be modification" of the
Esch-rownsend provision may be seen by
comparing IT with the first paragraph of
that bill, as follows:
Whenever, upon complaint duly made
under section IS OF the act ito regulate
commerce" the Interstate Commerce Com
mission shall, after full hearing, make any
finding or ruling declaring any existing
rate or any regulation or practice
whatsoever affecting the transportation of
persons or property to be unreasonable or
unjustly discriminatory, the commission
shall have power and II shall be its duty,
to declare and order what shall be a just
and reasonable rate. practice or regulation
to be charged, imposed or followed in the
future and the order OF the COM
mission SHALL OF its own force, take effect
and become operative thirty days after
notice thereof has been given but
at any time within sixty days OF date OF
such notice any person or persons directly
affected may institute proceedings
in the court OF transportation sitting as a
court Of equity to have II reviewed and its
lawfulness, business or reasonableness in
quired into and determined
Under either provision the rate would
stand until set aside by the courts Under
the old bill the rate would go into effect on
thirty days notice; the new bid says Il
shall become Immediately effective"
That can hardly be called a 'modihea-
tion" OF the original The railroad COM
panies will unquestionably regard II as
more stringent than the original And. on
the whole. the new measure goes eonsidera-
bly, farther than the old.

o suns and skies and clouds of June,
And flowers of June together,
Ye cannot rival for one hour
October's bright blue weather.
When loud the bumblebee makes haste
Bclated, thriftless, vagrant;
And goldenrod is dying fast,
And lanes with grapes are fragrant;
When gentians roll their fringes tight
To save them from the morning,
And chestnuts fall from satin burrs
Without sound Of warning;
When on the ground red apples lie
In piles like Jewels shining,
And redder still on old stone walls
Are leaves OF woodblne twinnR;
When all the lovely wayside things
Their white-winged seeds are sowing
And in the fields, still green and fair,
Late aftermaths are growing;
When springs run low, and on the brooks.
In idle golden freighting
Bright leaves sink noiseless In the hush
OF woods for winter waiting;
hauats.
By twos and twos together,
And count like misers hour by hour
October's bright blue weather.
o suns and skies and flowers of Juna
Count all your boasts together
Love loveth best of all the year
October's bright blue weather.
