 Politics.

Hartford, May 23-The bill providing for the appointment of female factory inspector is not altogether satisfac- tory to the labor interests represented at the capitol. Charles J. Donahue is stating his objections to the commis- sion to be composed of three women, who shall have the appointment of the | inspector in charge He wants the ap- pointing power centralized, lodging it possibly in the hands of the head of | the factory bureau.
 l Mrs. Frank Chamberlain Porter of | New Haven is taking an active interest in the bill as reported by the commit l tee on labor of which Senator Chase l of the Fifteenth district is chairman, She has had interviews with different senators concerning the measure. Her work has been supplemented by Mrs | Potter of Woodstock, wife of Senator Fl. J. Potter of the Twenty eighth dis l trict The women interested In the bill want the best selection that can be made in the state of female factory | inspector and are working unitedly to- ward that end. Putting the appointment ] in the hands of a commission of wom- en will take it out of politics. This is view which the women hold with much pertinacity Mrs Porter in her 1 interview with MT. Donahue declared that Governor Woodruff can be depend ed upon to appoint an able and effec- tive commission.
 A bill opening the way for a new field of insurance under Connecticut statutes has passed both houses and will now go to the governor for his sig nature. The bill in question is the one incorporating the Connecticut Law | yers' Title Insurance company, the business of which will be the insurance of property titles. There is such a company in New York, but the present is the first time that the incorporation of a title insurance has been asked for in Connecticut. The incorporators in clude some of the foremost lawyers in the state. Judge James F. Walsh of Greenwich, chairman of the judiciary Icommittee and leader of the senate; Attorney-General Marcus H. Holcomb, Donald c. Warner of Salisbury, ex-At- torney- General William A. King of Willimantic, ex-Congressman Lewis Sperry of Hartford J. Moss Ives of the governors staff, and Michael Kenealy of Stamford, are on the incorporators
 roll. The capital stock will be limit ed to $1O00O0. The company will be To- and profitable field in the state for the business, which the company proposes to undertake.
 Allan w. Paige of Bridgeport, chair man of the Judiciary committee two years ago, made a brief visit at the capitol Wednesday, but did not look in on his old stamping ground. He has
 been leading a sturdy business life in Dayton, Ohio, during most of the win
 ter, having extensive electric light in-
 terests there Probably he has not lbeen in Hartford four times this win,
 ter and he has taken no part in the
 politics of the state house. This does
 not justify the inference, however, that
 he Is out of Connecticut politics. Gov ernor Morgan c. Bulkeley used to have
 spells when he was "out of politics.
 But those were the times, when he was
 putting up political fences with a skill
 that baffied the enemy. Ex-Speaker Paige will never be out of politics while
 he has the breath of life in him.
 Said Lieutenant-Governor Lake in speaking of the ex-senator one time this winter, he has the bull dog pluck and courage. That is a characteristic that he may well be proud of. It car red him through his educational train
 ing at General Russel's and at the Yale Law school. It landed him. in
 the legislative clerkships and in the
 speakership in 1891, and it made him
 Governor Bulkeley's champion in the
 United States senatorial fight in 1905
 The future activity in Connecticut poli-
 ties will have good deal of Senator
 Paige in it.
