Forget 1t" said Lieutenant Cronan of the battisship Connecticut, when he was asked to describe the incident in the after starboard turret as consequence of which he and his com panions there were saved from death by his readiness of action. The loss of a finger or two played no part with him in the transaction. He was an officer of the United States navy and he did his duty simply and effectively ss 1t presented itself to him at the critical moment. There are galleries in the navy to which the players do not hesitate to appeal, but Lieutenant Cronan is as unable to see them through a kind of natural shortsight- edness as either Governor Hughes or Secretary Taft. If these three men, each working in his own modest way, have directed attention to the worthiness of duty well performed while leaving to others to keep the bell of publicity appealing we have much to thank them for It is distinct ly restful to come upon three such convincing manifestations of good sense within twenty-four hours.

means of school discipline suggests an examination of the teachers and not the licking of the youngsters. It is al- most truIsm, in fact, that the teach CT who cannot maintain effective dis ciplIne in a school room by force of his or her personality is something less or more than teacher. He or she may have the necessary educa- tion to theoretically teach others, but lacking as they do the faculty of imparting 1t practically they should seek field of usefulness elsewhere.
 It is at least creditable to the school system of New Haven that the rod has been laid away for good. There is a special school for incorrigibles, who constitute the minority, and even there distinct system of discipline Is maintained. No pupil is to be con- demned until the teacher in charge of him has been looked over. If then the rod is required a bad state of af- fairs indeed exists.

TIE EXPLANATION.

The solemn and elaborate explana- tions that are being made of what Is going on in the security" markets do not greatly cheer those who have lost, but usually when the explanations are made the movement" is about over. It is now pretty clear why thing have been going down, and perhaps there will soon be an opportunity to look quietly at the remains. There may be more explanations" to be made. If there are 1t will be good for all concerned to have them made as soon as possible. Confidence said the old copy-bools, is a plant of slow growth. It is sometimes plant of very speedy and complete destruction, and what has been going on lately hasn't helped it any. It is, however, already evid- ent that when the housekeeping Is over there will be more safety than there has been A good deal of the high financiering that we were once expected to admire is now seen to have been high in the sense of that adjective when used in describing the condition of game. Old-fashioned honesty, old-fashioned banking and 
 some other old-fashioned things seem likely to come into fashion again.

GUESSING, pRopHEor, SCIENCE.

It isn't probable that the govern ment of the United States is jealous of Prophet Johnson, of Middle Had dam in this State. even if Willis N. Moore, chief of the United States weather bureau, does call him "a nseudo-scientist" But 1t evidently an- noys Chief Moore because Prophet
 Johnson is able to get as much atten- Ition as he does get. And it evidently pleases Prophet Johnson that Chief Moore's display of annoyance has giv-
 en him (Johnson) a chance to say:
 "Ill make him the laughing stock of
 the whole country. Why, I'll put up
 $1,0oo that I can best him and his whole bureau in predicting the wealth.
 CT for a Inonth-yes, a year and for 100 years! I'm not guesser. I'm q scientist. I've studied the weather sev- enty years and reckon my labor has not been for nothing. There isn't a day that am not studying the conditions. and for over half century I've been up every night scanning the skies"
 No, Prophet Johnson's labor hasn't
 been for nothing It has taught him
 that there is good deal of pleasure in
 being prophet, even if prophecies do
 fat. as the recent one about the rain

THE LARGEST STATE,

The Houston Post is fond of calling Texas Eden, Heaven and other pretty and preposterous names. Meanwhile Texas is showing that she is not above making an honest dollar or two. One of her ways of doing It Is by taxing corporations, and when the corpora tions don't like It Texas taxes them some more. She has tackled the Pull man company, and while those who have been taxed by the Pullman com pany may not feel Inclined to weep much over any woe that may overtake it they will not think that the Texas performance Is very noble one. Last year it taxed the company four per cent. on it's gross earnings within the State, which were $Ss9,O50. This year 1t has raised the rate to five per cent. on the gross earnings, and has impos- ed an additional tax of twenty-five cents on every s100 of it's capitaliza- ton invested in Texas. The State has fixed this valuation at $7SS, 900, on the basis of cars used and mileage operat- ed within its jurisdiction. The sums collected from the company should the decision go against it would ag- gregate considerably more than $2o,- 900, but it Is not the amount which the Pullman company objects to as the steady increase of taxation yearly. So it Is resisting in the courts.
 It will be remembered that this same Eden, Heaven or Texas made awhile ago such savage anti-trust
 law that if 1t had been enforced the inhabitants of Texas wouldn't have had what they wanted to eat So
 good lawyers discovered that it needn't be enforced. Texas is certain
 ly 8 great State, the biggest in the Union.

OUR CONTEMPORARIES.
"Nev EngIanders..
tBoston Globe.)

The Connecticut valley is being crowded with thrifty and industrious Polish farmers, a prolific race, which thus far has shown little inclination to be assimilated to New England ideals. Back in the hill towns. on both sides of the Connecticut, many old and ex hausted farms have been bought by Poles, Lithuanians, Italians, Slovaks and men of other European races. The laborers on many of the farms still owned by native American families are foreigners, who doubtless will one day own the farms themselves. From Can ada comes every year small bur steady stream of desirable French-Can- adian immigrant farmers. and from other sources are added elements of which the Massachusetts yeoman of a century ago never dreamed.

TEE ECONOMIC CLUB.

The announcement that the New Haven Economic Club will hold the first of its dinners upon the last day of this month and discuss the question of President Rooseveit's attitude to- wards capital is an important an- .nouneement. It shows for one thing the determination of this useful club to remain a source of intelligent con- sideration of matters affecting the public welfare.
 The speakers announced assure sober and non-partisan treatment of the subject MT. Clews of New York is a banker of excellent reputation, Ed ward D. Whitney of that city has had an opportunity to study questions of this sort from the inside, having been Ia member of President Cleveland's cabinet. MT. Agar of New York is a lawyer of ability whose practice has brought him into contact with large naoneyed interests. John W. filling of this city is a lawyer of recognized abil- Eity and large investor in corporate wealth.
 With such men to treat the sub iect there should be no limit to the popular interest in the occasion. In the meantime 1t must be reckoned 8 good thing that New Haven has such an institution as the Economic Club to which one can turn for an ade- auate consideration of important mat ters. sF1it

The select committee of the British House of Commons in taking testi- mony recently in regard to the con trol and regulation of the conditions under which home work is carried on heard the evidence of the president of the Women's Trade Union League. She said that the difficulty in organ izing home workers was due to the fact that they were too poor to help themselves, This witness mentioned the case of a woman known to her who could only earn seventy-flve cents a week by shirt making She men toned the case of another shirt mak- CT who received only thirty one cents dozen for making shirts. The witness produced blue cotton shirts which were made for thirteen and one-half cents dozen.

4 RED BOOK.

New Haven has it's Blue Book" and there are similar books in other social centers. It is interesting to mo- tiee that descendants of some of the real first families of this country are to have their Red Book. The Indian bureau at Washington Is about to is- sue book containing the name of ev- cry Indian on the rolls of the five civ ilized tribes in the Indian Territory. There are over 1o1, 1000 names and it will take book of over five hundred pages to hold them, The book is to be sold at S1, and is intended to help the people who want to deal with the In- dians. When an Indian asks for ored- it. a merchant, by referring to the book, will know whether the Indian is on the rolls. If he is the merchant stands some show of getting his mon- ey. With each name will be given the age and the tribe to which the Indian belongs.
 A good idea. Of course the Indians who are in that book will be entitled to turn up the nose of scorn at the Indians who are not in it.

4 BERLIN NOTION.

All the notions aren't in Boston. There is at least one in Berlin, where the management of the Theater an der Spree has offered prize of 5000 marks for the best play which shall have the city of Berlin as the seat of action and the characters representa- tive of the various strata of Berlin's population. The aspIrants for the prize and honor are warned to avoid the complex, psychological or problem style, but they are at liberty to submit any form of play from farce to trag- edy, and in all cases 1t must be re- membered that the Berliner, despite all his faults. Is Ia jolly good fellow" The work must beso formed that 1t will offend no one. and though the author will have the right ito show, seriously or humorously, the weakness of this or that one, it is undesirable that so- eial, moral or political opinions or conditions should be held up to scorn or severe criticism"
 If this notion works we'll in Berlin and spreads, focal plays" will be num- erous and interesting. We might even have one right here in New Haven. There Is ample material for one.

 Some people have been holding their breath, as the New York traction scandal deepened, from fear that great regulations would be ruined before the bottom was reached. The fee of $2o,- 0l0 that was paid to Secretary Root, while retained by the Metropolitan, is easily accounted for as the payment for legitimate legal services, yet how many friends of MT.

Washington has seventy-eight pub lie statues, New York seventy-six, Boston thirty-six, Philadelphia thirty three and Chicago possibly twenty. It is said that the total number of public statues in the country at large is 58S. It Is not stated whether these figures refer solely to portrait statues, but presumably they do, for American cities have few ideal statues and still fewer fountains.
