SUMMER.

We are asked, When does Summer begin? The answer is, When it begins. The popular notion of Summer is that it includes June, July and August. The astronomical notion is that in the northern hemisphere it begins with the Summer solstice about June 21, and ends with the autumnal equinox, about September p. Any notion will do for this Summer. Perhaps it began yester- day. And 1t may be that yesterday was only tentative. like the framework constructed by the Committee on Schools. If Summer has really begun we shall soon know it. Frost-fish will cease to bite. We shall be able to keep warm without exercising with coal hods. Ice will begin to look good, if the price isn't too high. The grip will let go. New-mown hay will be more ire quent and conspicuous than pneumonia. The legislature will finally adjourn. And so forth and so on.
 But Dabolls Almanac thirty years ago said there would be no Summer this year, That's nothing, or, at most, little. Such a year as 1907 has so far been wont have any respect for Daboll's fame or feelings. It will be itself, re- gardless of him. It may be that this Summer is going to be so sardonically Summery that it will even cast dis credit on Dabolls Arithmetic, as we'll as on his Almanac. The President is on his summer vacation, and when he wants Sumner vacation he wants it. So there is hope.

HARMONY IN DEEP RIYER.

While a Connecticut preacher, a part of the press of Connecticut, and the president of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad eom- pany are in a state of more or less violent disagreement it is pleasing and soothing to notice that there is en- tire harmony between the Press and the Pulpit in Deep River, Connecticut, and that the president of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Rail- road company is omitted in singing. Under the head "The Clergy With Us" the Deep River Era says: Pastor Dyer took occasion in his pulpit at the Congregational church, last Sunday. to refer in very complimentary terms to this paper and the earnest effort it is making toward transforming Deep River into a model village. In few sentences he ably and forcibly second ed the efforts of The New Era in this direction, and now that press and pul- pit are combined in this work of mak- ing the streets of the village noticea- ble because of their neatness it is pretty certain that the hoped-for re- suit will be accomplished.
 How pleasant tis to see, the Pow CTS In unity. Deep River will surely be a model village if tBle Press and the Pulpit can keep on working together, and if some oyercapitallzed trolley scheme doesn't cast covetous eye on the neat streets.

---------------~-----~A- NOT 4 HOWIfSG STCCrS,

Municipal ownership of public utili- ties isn't as popular In Kansas City
 as 1t was when Kansas City undertook
 to supply itself with water in 1895. In order to purchase the plant twenty year bonds were voted, amounting to s3,l00,0Oo bearing interest at four and one-half per cent per annum. In 1888 1t
 was found that the revenues from the
 business were insufficient to supply an
 efficient service and keep the plant up to date, and maintenance tax was
 levied, ranging from one to two mills and amounting in the nine years that have since elapsed to about $1,OoO, GOO.
 Tn 1902, notwithstanding the fact that
 the books showed an apparent profit of
 revenues over expenses, and in spite
 of the maintenance tax of about $150s
 900 year 1t was found that the plant was falling still further behind the
 city's needs, and an additional bond
 issue amounting to $1,1OO,0OO, running
 twenty years and bearing interest at
 four and one-half per cent, was voted
 to bring the plant up to date. At that
 time the taxpayers were assured that the proceeds of these bonds would put
 tho plant into first-olass condition. and that thereafter the revenues would be amply sufficient to keep it so Never. theless, the city administration is pre-. pairing to ask for another bond issue
 The superintendent estimates that LID.
 wards of $1,OoOOOO are imperatively needed to make the improvements ne- cessary to bring the plant up to the city's present requirements.
 And this, though enough, isn't all.
 During this period of municipal own ership fire insurance rates have been
 far in excess of those charged in other cities of Kansas City's class, the com
 panies alleging that the fire protection was inadequate owing to insufficient
 water service. This excess charge for insurance has amounted to about $95O- 900 q year, or $S,OOOOO0 in twelve years. And Kansas City doesn't think munich
 pal ownership is what 1t was cracked up to be. Its frame of mind is such that 1t is even dubious about the Initi- alive and Referendum.

REBUILDING NEW HAHEN

The announcement by Mayor Stud ley of his committee to consider Mir. Seymour's mature suggestion for the Improvement of the center of the city of New Haven can be accepted as an assurance that a city beautiful will result as consequence of the labor of committee beautiful. It is an enormous committee In size. but 1t had to be in order to give the movement the representative character it needs to achieve success. Naturally the work of investigation will have to be done by smaller subcommittee, but it's re- ports should be passed upon by the full committee. If there is to be har- Inony in construction there should be harmony in action, and this should flow from such committee as has now been appointed.
 A larger interest had been provoked iii MT. Seymour's plan of beautlflca-
 
 ton by the action of the New Haven County Bar Association in recom- mending that the necessary steps be taken by the county to acquire the Sargent property on the northwesterly corner of Elm and Church streets There Is nothing hesitating in the at titude of this committee, while the reasoning with which it fortifies it's position is unanswerabe. The fact Is interesting that those who planned the present county court house had it in mind that posterlty would gratify its needs by adding to it, but the condi- tions, which now make that inadvis- able, have arisen since they undertook to read the future. When the present court building was erected thirty-fve years ago, the population of the coun- ty was about 122.OOO. To-day it is about S00,000, more than twice as great. We see no reference in the report of the committee to the fact that in that same time there has been corre- spending Increase in the grand list of the county, but that might we'll and impressiyely have been included in 1t. The committee of the Bar Associa- ton does well to profit by past experi- ence and warn the County that the needs of the next thirty-fve years should be kept distinctly in mind. There is every reason to expect a con- tinuance of the growth in population and in the size of the grand list. A thousand forces are constantly at work

GEYERoUSEY MOD ERArr.

Lots of brains in Indiana. so if is not surprising that in various parts of that intellectual stato young women are taking "sensible" views of marriage. They have formed Protective Asso- ciation for the Promotion of Domestic Happiness This is not exactly marry ing or an anti-marrylng society. It merely proposes to delay marriage till certain conditions are fulfilled. One of it's ultimatums is that man must not assume to get married unless he has $e,000. Then he should insure his life for s2,OO0 more. Besides this he should have S2 as the price of a license.
 These demands" are entirely reason able, and they should be most strictly stuck to. They probably will be, and Indiana will soon be as celebrated for its happy and successful marriages as 1t is for its successful and productive brains. Tho Indiana girls who look up- oil themselves as worth $4002 apiece to any man are modest enough in their estimate, and it is plain that this esti- mate is generously based on the quality of the young men rather than on the quality of the young women.

to increase the manufacturing import ance of New Haven County, and to magnify Its charm as a home for for tune builders and makers of other states. To eliminate that practical assurance from any scheme which has for Its purpose the building of new court house, is to postpone for g per- plexed posterity to settle problem easy to settle at once. That "the best place available" is the Sargent corner will scarcely be disputed. It gives its own pledge of being able to anticipate future needs as well as human foresight can do 80. Even though it costs a little more money
 than would be the case If the plans of the original committee were adopted and enforced, it should be promptly supplied. New Haven County can
 well afford p build itself, at it's county seat, a home of justice which shall harmonlze with the beauty of the city.

THE FOX EXPENSES.

We ventured the suggestion, when the State senate appropriated nearly SS00 for counsel fees in the protracted Homan contested seat case, that that body should compensate Mir Fox, the plaintiff, for the expense to which he went in summoning witnesses. Though the attention of the committee has been repeatedly called to the matter, thus far not word has been heard In reply. The State of Connecticut is apparently ready to let one of its citi- zens do its work at his own expense.
 As was pointed out at the time, the fees awarded the counsel in that case were excessive, both in view of the limited service given and in view of the supposed prohibition of the law. The senate should not make one rule for the conduct of Senator Homan and his lawyer, and another for MT. Fox, who was perfectly sincere and dis passionate in undertaking to have jus- tiee established. It has never enter ed his mind to seek or receive compen- Hation for the time he spent upon the case, or for the legal fees he and his friends gladly met, but 1t must enter the minds of fairly disposed people, that since he was obliged to go to a large expense, something under S100 to take his witnesses to Hartford, that amount should be returned to him.
 There appears to have been no expect ation on the part of either Senator Homan or former Senator States that the senate would compensate them in their defense of their rights. It was right for the State to reimburse them. But exactly the same rule applies to the case of MT. Fox, who undertook a task, which had to be undertaken by a citizen, and who undertook 1t from the highest motives of enthusiastic cit izenship. It would be sorry princi- pie to establish that pure minded and courageous men are thus to be delib- erately discouraged from aiding in the enforcement of the law. Without fur tier parleying the State senate should reimburse MT. Fox for the witness fees and costs he has paid. Connecticut is not niggard.

DISAPPOINTIAG

The advocates of peace are not feel ing comfortable. The fact that on the day of the opening of the Peace parliament at the Hague Russia show ed new reaction in the dissolution of the Douma is not encouraging. Neith- CT Is the speech of Nelidot, head of the Russian delegation to the Peace par liame1t. and chosen president of it. Nelldoff described the ideal of the peace advocates as "a star floating far above this mundane sphere, to be al- ways strlven for, but never attained. Nations, like individuals" he said frankly, are human, and not the most perfect judicial system ever mvepted could put an end to strife and violence. When honor and vital interests are at stake" the speaker added, regard less of consequences, neither the former nor the latter will recognize any authority except personal judg- ment and personal feeling"
 That Is the usual talk, and the Kind of talk that might be expected from a Russian. But the ideal of universal peace is in the world, and is being actively believed in and advocated. The outlook is that the present Peace parliament wont do much to bring it near, but there are going to be oth- CT Peace parlIaments, and by and by there may be one which will be efici- ent.

Yale Commended for Not COnceaiine Its
 Practice Time.

(New York Sun.)
 Mir, John Kennedy. the Yale rowing coach, has decided to give out the time of all the practice rows of his crews at New London, and his sportsmAnlike course Is regarded as "a challenge to the Harvard officials to throw off the mask also and give out the correct time after every spin" Why not, as the regatta Is friendly rivalry and not betting proposition" and the faculties of the two universities do not make "beoks'' on the races? It ought to be astonishing that Mir. Kennedy's action is looked upon as chlvalrous and dar- ing. The concealmeht of time made in practice trials was always a foolish business. Fast time in preparation for a race. whether of horses or men, Is but a poor indication of what they wflls do in competition. The Yale crew of last year was wonderfully fast in rowing over the course, but in the actual race sueoumbed to Harvard, whose time in practice had been slow by comparison.
