The city of Hartford is to be con- graduated upon the near completion of the new bridge over the Connecticut river connecting that beautiful city of homes and large insurance dividends with %1st Hartford. The structure has reached a point where distinguished citizens in summer attire have been photographed near it with Senator Bulkeley the central figure of the group.

 Hartfords good fortune in being able t. see beautiful bridge from day to day again calls attention to the press- ing need there is for some better un- derstanding than now exists between the officials of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad com .pany and the city engineering depart ment of New Haven as to the charac- te. of the bridges 10 pc thrown across the new cut. It is possible to construct handsome bridges of cement without the hideous side boards which some one has discovered protect horses against the alarming assaults of flying smoke.
 It will be pity if this opportunity to begin the work of beautifying New Haven at once is missed through a misunderstanding as to the convenience of open air structures. Let the board of aldermen repeal the ordinance requlr- ing the high board fence for a begin ming.

"
 Perhaps the largest element of com fort for those who view with appre- hensien the rapid spread of socialism in Eurore is found in the great tide of emigration from the old countries to the United States, tho land which holds out the greatest promise of success for Intelligent individual effort, and asks no questions concerning the plane from which that effort is to be directed.
 Doubtless not one in a thousand or the many millions of aliens who md their way to these golden shores is sut- ficiently versed in the lore of social economics to clearly differentiate be- tween socialism and indiVidualism But it is a fact which needs no demonstra- ton that nearly all who come in the steerage looking for new homes are attracted by the open door of oppor- tlnity for which America has become famous. To most of them this may take the concrete form of higher wages, but the abstract principle is as truly back of 1t as is the idea of Deity De- hind the pagans worship of his clay god. And to many of the embryo cltl- zens and the majority of their descend ants it will in time mean the oppor- tunity for individual economic growth and emancipation from social serfdom. It will mean, in short, the opposite Of what socialism in it's radical phase the phase of which Herr Bebel and his kind are leaders--is striving to attain: The submersion of the individual in the mass and the stining of personal herd; in other words, the enforcement of mediocrity in all fields of human en- deavor, that the incapable may not be outrun by the competent,

DOING BAYTER.

All the people of the United States are interested in the success of the Jamestown Exposition because they have lent quite 9 pot of money to 1t and would like to get it back. They are also less mercenarlly interested in it. They would ike to have it succeed so as not to dsappont and injure those who expected and planned to make it a success. So it will please them to know that the Exposition is doing considerably better than it was The average attendance is about 20,00o daily and growing. The buildings and grounds arc now in fine shape, and all visitors agree that the exposition, as a whole, is exceptionally attractive. With the cutting down of expenses. and the increasing patronage the deficit has been materially reduced but the fnan- ciat outcome is still problenlatical and VIII depend wholly upon the attend ahce the next two months, which prom ises to be large. The shows on the War Path have fared pretty well, all things considered One of them, a spec tacle, already has declared a ten per cent. dividend, and the investment doubtless will yield thirty per cent. for the exposition season. The hotels have fallen far short of expectations, but their business is now good. Poor trans pcrtation facilities by trolley between Norfolk and the exposition have been the cause of endless complaint, and the defects have not yet been fully corrected.
 It is probably too much to expect that the show is coming out whole, :" but there has been and is going to be decided improvement on the discour- aging state of things that at one time existed.

4 UST STRAW.

The Chicago Tribune mas oanvassed Isome 1,700 Republican congressmen Legislators, committee chairmen, edi- tors etc., living in eleven States of the Middle West, on the Presidential nom Iination next year, and makes public
 the results. Taft is the first choice Iof 944, the second choice of 322, and the third choice of 1S5.
 This is pretty robust straw. In fact, it might be called a whole bundle
 of straws. And when 1t is added that
 1,569 of the 1,700 questioned replied
 that they approved the progressive
 policies of the President the favor shown Taft who also approves those
 policies, is not diminished in impress |siveness. The States included in the canvass were Illinois, Indiana, Michi-
 gan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, the two
 Dakotas, Iowa, Nebraska Missouri
 and Kansas. Probably a similar can
 vass of similar men in other Republi- can States would result similarly. Taft has made a steady and solid advance in what may be called intelligent favor Isince it was known that he would be
 President if the people wanted him.

COMING RICK.

Those who remember the pigeon pie of their mothers will rejoice in the Increase of the evidence that the pigeons are coming back They used ito be so plenty around New Haven that they would break branches of trees by roasting on them, and one shot would bring down bushel or SO.
 Early in the last Spring they appear ed in the South and in western New York. Now a correspondent of the New York Sun writes that during his recent rambles in the mountains of California he discovered thousands of them.
 Where the pigeons went so suddenly land completely is one of the myste- fries. They will be heartily welcon- ed back, and will be as joyously shot land eaten as they used to be. With plenty of pigeon and deer meat we may yet be able to defy the Meat trust Perhaps though, somebody will be smart enough to form trust that will monopolize the pigeons and
 deer. Then about all that will be left
 for us will be to pray for the return of
 the wild turkey.

his position he would have been ridic- .ulous, for it is inconceivable that he Ishould have entered upon the course
 without the most careful estimate of the profit and loss. In SC far as he
 has abandoned his old methods of as- .sault he is to be commended, The trouble with President Roosevelt is
 that he has misled people by his vehe- 'mence of speech, by his riotous as- 'saults upon men and things, thereby
 creating the impression that he is es- |sentlally destructive in temperament, mot constructive. The Taft method of presenting the same ideas, for example, lis without terror. The Roosevelt method, which shows an improvement in the Provincetown speech, frightens by its lack of boise. People forget that his gun is aimed at the guilty
 alone and fear that in his excitement he will fall to shooting in every direc- ition. No one can honestly criticise the President for prosecuting the guilty. His oath of office compels him
 to do that. He is subject to Just lcriticism when by his ferocious man.
 ner he suggests an indignation of
 spirit which is likely to carry him
 beyond all bounds. Had all of his
 speeches been as quiet as that deliv-
 cred yesterday he, would to-day be a
 better understood man.

It is interesting and perhaps, inn portant to notice all the experiments made in the doing of municipal busi- ness In Kansas City they are trying the block system of street cleaning with good results. One district has been chosen for experiment in this way, and it is found that better service is obtained than by the old method. Under this system certain men are as- signed to a certain block of streets and are held responsible for their ap- pearance. Each block has it's own station, from which the operations are conducted There is heavier first cost for stations and equipment, but this outlay is said to be soon made up in the saving which acerues in the work
 This is encouraging. Now if some body will invent and apply a system of putting streets in good order after they have been dug up New Haven can perhaps afford to adopt it. She certainly needs such a system.

COSTLY LESSONS IN ECONOMY.
IL 10 Not Always a Matter of Saving to
Buy Cheap Goods.

Almost every rural community has
within its confines people who have
paid well for experience and have
learned costly lessons as to buying
OF goods.
Not long ago in a western town a
citizen desired to buy kitchen range.
A visit to the local hardware store
was made and the prices asked by
the dealer were not satisfactory to
the prospective purchaser, who by
the way had his attention attracted
b. the advertising ii his farm paper
Of "a bargain" in a kitchen range.
The range was advertised as equal to
those costing twice the money at the
local store" The citizen sent a
money order to the concern advertis.
ing the range, and in the course Of a
few weeks he was notified by the rail
road agent that the range had ar
rived. In removing it from the sta
ton to the farm house, in some mex
plainable way part of it. was broken,
The broken pieces were taken to the
local hardware store but could not be
duplicated. A letter was written to
the range company and in the course
Of a few weeks a duplicate of the
broken part was received, but it was
discovered that it would not fit the
stove. 1t had ~ be returned and a
few weeks later another piece was
sent; then the stove was placed in
use. Within six months the top had
become so warped that 1t interfered
seriously with the drafts. At the end
of the year the stove was burned out
and ready for the junk heap. The
purchaser Of the stove then deter
mined that he would secure another
range from the home dealer. He paid
the home dealer the price he was
asked which was about one-third more
than the poor range cost, and after a
few years the range was found to be
as good almost as when first bought
This is one Illustration Of how econ
omy wrongfully practiced is ex-
pensive II Is not always wise to
seek the bargain counters when good
articles are wanted. Neither is it a
wise idea 20 buy goods before you
have an opportunity to carefully ex-
anime them and determine thair
