Where did the wild pigeons go that used to be so plenty around here that they would break tree branches by roasting on them and make such tar get that d bushel, more or less, could bo gathered tip after one shot? One theory was that they got blown out to sea and drowned. Another Is that they moved to South America, not knowing any better. And there were other plaus- ible theories. Now there is a plausible and pleasing theory that they are com ing back to home and pigeon pie, That distinguished naturalist John Bur roughs deposes that he has been look ing around in Sullivan county New York, and has learned that large num- bers of wild pigeons have been seen in the county this Spring. He is satisfied that they are the same species that nestled in the county more than thirty years ago. One flock seen near Wams- ley numbered more than a thousand, President Roosevelt, another distin- guished naturalist, wrote to Mir Bur rcughs that he had seen a flock of twenty-five in Albemarle county yir- ginia, about a month ago.
 This is cheering news. With the wild deer roaming over Connecticut, the wild pigeons flying over Virginia and New York and the wild animal stories flying into the New York Sun office life is much wilder than 1t was. It had become too tame anyway.

Connecticut lost its greatest source of protection when, through the stupidity of the party of opposition, it lost the constantly uplifting power of the old fashioned political equilibrium. In those days that party won at the polls which deserved the most to win. Now the party in power Is law unto itself. while the party seeking power fails to take advantage of the situa- ton.
 It is an intolerable situation. No wonder that the spirit of political in dependence is abroad in all of the eight counties of the State The wonder would be real if the people of the State of Connecticut intended to longer en- dure a rule, which is insolently indif- ferent to the public welfare. The alarm bell can be distinctly heard in every corner of the State except on Capitol Hill. There the ears of these charged with the task of leadership seem stuffed with cotton.

Oh, the man with the hoe is a merry old
 soul,
 A merry old soul is he, As he turns the sod, and plants the
 seed
 And dreams of the crop to be. He digs. and he hoes with a right good
 will,
 And he huns merry old lay. As he plants and he sows and he rakes
 and he hoes Beginning with break of day. And the sun looks down on this merry
 old soul.
 This merry old soul with the hoe, And he turns on him his brightest smile And watches his face all aglew. For he knows that it's good for a man
 to sweat
 And 10 enjoy the rewards of his toll, And so he coaches this merry old soul As he tills away in the soil. And this merry old soul as he digs and
 he hoes,
 Mops his brow with the back of his And he laughs He, he" and he laughs
 Hoe, hoe" As he works away on his land. But there are times of grief for this
 merry old soul, This merry old soul with the hoe, For when rains come down, the weeds
 come up
 TO vex this toiler so. And the cut worms cut and grub
 worms grub, And the chicklets chick with glee, And the henlets scratch with both their
 feet
 For it's all they have, you see. Then the heart of this merry old man
 grows sad As they slash and they scratch and
 they grub, And his soul is filled with an inborn
 ire,
 While his hand is filled with club. Then the air is filled with a din and a
 crash
 And a shriek and cloud of dust, And the neighbors are filled with much
 surprise, While the hens are filled with disgust. But in spite of his trials--he's a merry
 old soul,
 And he begins each day with smile, He's up with the lark, and he works
 with will, For his work is work worth while. So here is our hand to this tiller of
 soil.
 And here is smile as we go, And we'll doff our hat to this merry old
 soul,
 This merry old soul with the hoe

Hurrah for the Fourth of July! That is, Hurrah for a Fourth of July that isn't principally noise, bad smells, fires, accidents, wounds and death. The glorious Is near, and we notice with pleasure and encouragement that in various places they are moving to have the day celebrated with some re- gard to comfort and safety. Even the great and somewhat unruly city of Chi cago shows a disposition to have a Fourth that shall not be utterly foolish and damaging. For several years New Haven has tried to improve her Fourth of July, and has succeeded in doing it. She should try to make gain this year. And she shouldn't rely wholly on official efforts. The constituted author ities" should do what they can, and their efforts should be carefully supple mented by those of the home authori- ties. The home authorities should look sharply after the performances of the children, and while they won't be able to guide or drive all the children in the right path they can do much. There is always a sigh of apprehension be- fore the Fourth and sigh of relief af- ter it. Let's all strive to diminish the necessity for the sighs by diminishing the size of the danger.

A police judge in Portland, Oregon, has made decision which, if it is not upset, will be upsettlng, He holds idle ness to be Q crime, even though the idler has plenty of money to support him In leisure. A Aashily dressed man had been haled into court for vagrancy and, although he was able to prove himself possessed of considerable proper ty and steady income, he was threat ened with sentence at breaking rock unless he found something to do.
 Probably this is not good law or good sense. Of course an idler with money enough is not as useful as a worker, but he has his uses. He is generally a good complainer, and not infrequently a reformer. He has time to think out what other folks ought to do and can hire a hall and tell them about 1t. He is also useful as an indictment to in- dustry. Many an industrious toiler is soothed and sustained by looking for ward to the time when, having made his pile, he can be like the comfortable idler. Therefore don't despise the con- fortable idler. or sentence him to hard labor He Is useful and inspiring.

There is a Greater Pittsburg and a smokier Pittsburg, and now a dryer
 Pittsburg is wanted. Pittsburg feels that she has paid all she can afford for floods, and is actively casting about for some way of avoiding much more expense. Her Chamber of Commerce has begun a movement to have the city, State and national governments
 prevent floods by planting trees enough on the watershed where the floods begin The theory is that the trees will utilize large quantities of moisture and prevent sudden thaws of vast areas of snow Millions of dol
 lars will be required to carry out the work, and a campaign will be begun to arouse interest and obtain the neces-
 sary funds. Unofficially it is announc>
 ed by specialists that at least 2000,-
 600, 900 trees must be planted. The scheme entails an immense amount of

labor, and even then will not accom- plish any material good for at least fifteen years, acording to the ex- perts. The combined basins of the Monongahela and Allegheny rivers cover nearly 10000 square miles in western Pennsylvania, West Virginia, western New York and Maryland.
 If this great scheme is fully carried out 1t will teach much. If it teaches that man can protect himself and his property by planting trees the lesson will be worth all it will cost.

THE nAInRoAD MERGER,

According to Boston business man, whose views were printed in Mondays issue of The Journal and Courier, the opposition to the proposed merger of tn } Boston and Maine railroad with the New Haven springs from the fear that the experience of that State with this merger will be like that of the merger of the Boston and Albany with the New York Central "A burned child," he says, threads the fire" Boston wants a few definite assurances before 1t is willing to give its assent.
 The point really involved in the con- troversy is this: Should President Mel len be obliged to suffer for the sins of his predecessors, or should he be taken at the valuation which his services to the New Haven railroad determine? It is quite likely that theoretically he is entitled to his own record and to the assurances it gives, and it may be that he smarts under the virtual refusal of the public to take that view of the sit- uation, but human nature being what 1t is, we cannot say that the difference of opinion is strange.
 What the average human being wants Is this, not only the assurance that President Mellen will be an improve ment on his predecessors, which he can give, but that his successor shall be as good as he is, which he cannot give
