PHELAN WASHOT
Sailed Into Chatfield-Ten. ure of Office Bill Reject
 ed In Senate.

Hartford, July 1.-The bill concern. ing tenure of office of school teachers and school officials in Waterbury re- ceived some consideration this after noon in the senate. Senator Phelan, who called up the bill. said that action o nit had been held up long enough.
 Senator Chatfield said that the de- feat of the bill in the house last week was the result of deal. Senator Phe- Ian, he said, was opposed to the bill because he was a candidate for mayor of the city of Waterbury.
 His remarks incensed Senator Phe. Ian. who jumped to his feet and de- ilied in vigorous language that thero was any deal In connection with the defeat of the bill in the house. He was not candidate for the office of mayor of the city of Waterbury and would not accept the honor if it was handed to him. He explained certain condi- tions in Waterbury which he claimed were against the passage of the bill. He characterized the bill as a most vicious one and it was the first time that the board of education had been in politics. He attributed this bring ing of the school board into politics to the superintendent of schools who. in order to insure his office for life, had lobbied for the position.
 Senator Donavan considered the bill a good one and argued that school teachers should be protected against politics as well as policemen and fire- men.
 The bill on a vote was rejected.

FOR GOOD ORDER.
That is Why Board of Safety Got
 After Clam Bakes.

This is a bad time for people to get mad at each other and add to the tenn perature by roasting one another in the papers. Everybody finds it hard to live and instead of making things warmer we should try and keep cool and assist one another to work through the scorching weather without falling on the way. The article in yesterdays paper signed One of Them has given offense in certain quarters and prob ably not without reason, too. The Loop the Loop club may or may not have a grievance. It Is certain that if all of them are of the same calibre as "One of Them" nothing would occur at their outings which would give rise to complaint, but "One of Them" erred when he stated that the move made by the department of safety was due en- tirely to the antics of some fellow in the eastern section of the city. This Is not so. There was another case and the board of safety didn't act upon it without investigation and the matter was not brought to their attention on a trivial charge. The complainant has no special objection to clam-bakes or any other form of legitimate pastlme people may decide to indulge in. But it doesn't make any difference whether people are on the way from an outing or returning from prayer meeting others have rights and when these rights are disregarded the aggrieved have no redress except through the medium of the courts or the police de partment In this instance the latter was chosen and in removing the cause probably innocent parties were incon- venienced.
