PLANS FOR NIANTIC CAMP
NOT MUCH LUXURY
State Soldiers Will Live
Like Regular Soldiers
for a Week.

Preliminary plans for the Connecticut
National Guard encampment at Man
tic, July 22-27, include many innova-
tions this year, all Of which show
tendency to conduct the camp this year
closer to the methods Of the regular
army. The officers have learned that
the tents will not be UP and ready for
occupancy when the troops arrive in
camp. The streets will be marked out
with stakes, and the men will have to
put up their own tents when they get
in. Each tent Will be supplied with
three cots, such as are used In the
army. They are made Of canvas and
look Hike q hospital litter.
Mechanically 1t has been worked
out by the officers that after the cots
are set up in tents there remains in
each tent but six inches of floor space,
This will forbid the men occupying the
tent while the cots are up, excepting tc
sleep in them, and 1t is figured out that
1.-THE men must undress in the company
street.
Instead Of sending baggage to can1I
one night in advance of the departure
of the troops, the plan this year is K

ter, from which Mr.. Sargent graduated |
in 1910, when at the age of seventeen |
he began his mercantile career in q dry |
goods store in Boston at a salary of 81 !
per week for the first year. The death
of his superior and owner Of the store
three years later compelled a change on
his part, and he therefore departed in
1849 to Join his elder brother, Harrison
j., in the management Of a general
store in Macon, Ga. On the death OF
his father in 1S49 he sold out his busi-
ness interests in the south and began
in New York as commission mer-
chant. In 1850 he bought the half IN
| terest in the manufacturing business SO
| long carried on by his father and soon
after, purchasing the other half inter-

success, and in 1854 this business
was moved to New Haven and the
name changed to Sargent & Co, Mean
while the business in Leicester had
grown under the name of Sargent o.
Brothers, and an additional business
started in Worcester, Mass. These
were sold out few years ago and the
manufacturing business concentrated at
New Haven.
The business grew with remarkable
rapiditv after 1t was settled here. When
the shop was first opened here there
were 150 employees and now there are

Az soon as he came here Mr.. Sargent
: became closely identified with every
move for public Improvement and with
the general interests Of the city. For
six years he was one of the selectmen,
70, two terms member Of the board
of public works and in 1891 was elected
mayor of the city on the democraue
ticket, serving through 1885,
Mr.. Sargent was one Of the first men
in the city who believed in public con-

had firm faith in the honesty and ca

Of themselves than they could receive
from private capital in certain definite
directions. In his inaugural message
when he was elected mayor, he SAID

bounds of a municipality, and for the
purpose of supplying the inhabitants

Mr.. Sargent Travelled considerably
both in this country and in Europe
His first trip abroad was in 1873 attel
which he visited Europe several times
and went twice around the world.

Heyburn's Argument Falls DS~n.

Walla Walla wash Bulletin: After
denouncing the principles of the direct
primary in general Senator Hepburn, of
Idaho, concludes by saying: II am in
favor of a primary election law that
shall insure primary election of all part
les against interference at the hands of
those outside II the party holding the
primary elections, SO that the primary
election may represent the will of the
party holding it." Then, if that is Sen
ator Heyburn's honest conviction he
should induce the Idaho legislature to
adopt a section from the bill drafted by
the direct primary league in the state
of Washington which provides for pre-
cisely this sort of thing and which abso-
lutely precludes partisan from partic-
ipating in a primary election of party
to which he does not belong. The
league proposes that the, primffy cleo
tions of every party shalt be held on the
same day ard tat each voter shall be
provided WITH & ballot of each party.
He selects il sescret the one he WISHED
to vote ana returns all the others, which
are kept IN i separate ballot box. The
secrecy II fba Australian ballot is thus
preserved, and yet if he wishes to split
his ticket he is unable to do so. He can
do so in the general election, but not in
the primary election. The primary IS
where he must declare his partisanism
and that is why Senator Heyburn's
argument against the direct primary
falls down. The adoption of the bill
drawn by the direct primary league in
this state will absolutely eliminate the
interference of one party with the nomi-
nations of opposing parties.
The republican barty has ne more to
fear from the dnsct primary than any
other party, but in this state it has =
great deal to fear if it fails to keep
faith with the people in passing q good
primary bill. There is unqdes sIohabiy
a strong and growing inclination
throughout the land t6*ardS independ-
ent action in politics Oh account of the
machine methods of the old convention
system of making nominations. The
adoption of the direct primary will
strengthen the republican party by giy-
ing into the hands of the people, wh5
never get an opportunity to attend con-
ventions, the right to participate in the
nomination of the party's standard
bearers. When they have been given

WORTH WHILE:

1t is easy enough to be pleasant
When life flows along like song,
But the man worth while is the one who
will smile
When everything goes dead wrong;
For the test of the heart is trouble,
And it always comes with the years,
And the smile that is worth the praise
of earth
Is the smile that Shines through tears.
1t is easy enough to be prudent
When nothing tempts you to stray;
When without or within no voice of sin
Is Turing your soul away.
But is only negative virtue
Until it is tried by fire
And the life that is worth the Honor of
earth
Is the one that resists desire.
By the cynic, the sad, the fallen;
Who had no strength for the strife,
The worlds highway is numbered today
They make up the item Of life.
But the virtue that conduers passion,
And the sorrow that hides in smile,
1t is these that are worth the homage of
earth,
For we find them but once in while

Oregon Short Line company working
among them. What this representative
did and said doubtless would be very
interesting to even an outsider, but the
public is not to know just what changed
the opinion of those commercial bodies
and caused remohstrances against the
railway commission to pour into Boise.
In view of the many Investigations
that have been made of late in different
states in which it has been proven that
railways and industrial corporations
sometimes work in restraint of trade,
it seems there could be no good reason
advanced why Idaho should not have a
department to work with the judiciary
of the state in leading the common-car-
riers, which are of such vital import
ance, to wholesome regard of the
rights of the citizens of the state. The
argument that the railways are so inn
portant factor in the development of
the state that they should not be mo-
lested will not standi The more import
Ant they are, the better is the argument
that their functions should be directed
in proper channels to insure justice to
all; The idea of commission adding
strength to political machine is more
fancied than real. The argument might
be used against any other department
81 State government. Other men will
shortly take the place of those who are
IN official positions now. Other states
may have commissions that are useless
and an expense. There is no reason
that commission in Idaho should not
be of use, any more than that law
in this state should not be enforced be-
cause similar law in an adjoining state
is not enforced. Other states have d
railway commission, and it has never
been shown by the railway companies
that the presence of commission pre-
vented the extension of their lines or
improvement in their Service. Idaho is
now on the threshold of railroad build
ing era: Competing INES are entering
the field: fife foundations for the flu
ture should be made strong and deep.
Whether Idaho gets commission
from the present Legislature or not, there
doubtless will be feeling of satisfac-
ton over the light that is being shed
i'll the conddct of the railway business
in the state.
