roo SERIOUS.

Representative Banks made a formal speech in the House yesterday defend- ing himself against what he chose to think was an attack upon him by the Governor at the Economic Club dinner in this city. His remarks were, on the whole, temperate, but they were too serious, There has been so much talk all around that it is hard to remember all of it, but perhaps the general im- presson of 1t is that the Governor has tried to keep the lobby from interfer- ing with legislation, and has also tried to keep the legislature from interfer- ing with it. He wants things done openly, quickly, if possible, and with out the pulling and hauling and com- promising that seem to be inseparable from legislation. In other words, the Governor wants to see the States bus mess done in a business-like way. It is also plain to him that the legisla- ture should do some things which it hasn't done and doesn't seem inclined to do. So he has said his say, directly, foicibly and without i'll will, except for that which is bad. We know the sen sitiveness of public men, but we doubt if the honest and well-meaning mem

"Fair play" is the teachers plea. Who will legis- late pension for the mother of. say, six children? The taxpayers certainly will be more willing to take care of the mothers than to overpay the teachers Who are no mothers and never intend to be mothers.
 Of course there Isn't much tc say in reply to this, except, perhaps, that the faithful teachers have helped this faithful woman make her children use- ful. Perhaps not only teachers, but all faithful, hard-working women, and also all faithful and hard-working men, should be pensioned. We are in- clined to think they should be.

4 POBLIC MENACE.

The attention of the people of the state needs to be drawn to private measure before the general assembly, which seeks to confer upon dealers In electricity the right of eminent do- main. The proposed transfer of what really amounts to surrender of state sovereignty is made all the more sus- picious in character because it reaches it's consideration at a time in the ses- sion, when there is work to be done on the farm and when the professional and business members of the legisla- ture feel the call of business cares.
 The right of eminent domain means that that shall be arbitrarily done, in spite of individual injury, which is for the good of the greatest number In the hands of a private corporation, or series of private corporations, which would soon be attracted into com0ina- tion if such preposterous right were granted them, the right of eminent do- main would be weapon which would place every property owner practically at their mercy. It is astonishing that spectators and promoters should be- come so bold as to deliberately ask the legislature of Connecticut to thus eliminate the securities which have at- tached tt, life here in the past. We have lived to see public service char ters given away for the asking, and afterward sold at handsome figure to private parties, charters which have given their possessors the right to car- ry on every known undertaking above and below the earth, but even these sacrifices of state power and popular rights sink into insignifcance compared with this new proposal, that Connectl- cut shall surrender to private inter- ests the right of eminent dorain. In his admirable address to the Chamber of Commerce Monday even ing, President Warren made an effec- tive appeal to ward off ''frenzied legls- lation," having obviously in mind legislation seeking to restrain large corporations, which have come under the dislike of the people. Even 'fren- zied legislation" directed against big corporations is a tame indulgence compared with "frenzied legislation" originating with promoters and cor poratlon spectators, which blandly asks the State of Connecticut for the right of eminent domain. We are yet to be convinced that the Connecticut | legislature. the majority of whose members are property owners, are do- 1 ing more, in this connection, than patiently and politely listening, prob- ably in astonishment, to the details of a project which has sort of stand
 ing before a legislative body. In time they will quietly put 1t to sleep among the other attempts which have been
 made, from time to time, to modify 1 the spirit of free institutions.

bers nf the legislature are called on to take the Governors words as seriously as Representative Banks has taken them. At the close of his speech Mir. Banks said: 'The conduct of this gen. eral assembly, the acts of honest men of this house and of this senate, will wipe out that mark, will write in his tory splendid record on this State, will be an inspiring example to future generations, will be all that honest men can want it to be if we continue to do our duty, as we shall continue to do it until the end of the session"
 Of course they Will, and that is the reason why it isn't worth while to feel hurt and make speeches about feeling hurt. The Governor means right and so do all the honest men concerned in legislation at Hartford.

THE DEPUTY M4YOR TDFA

We print this morning a resolution now before the lesdslature amending the Charter of the City of New Haven sp as to give that city a Deputy Mayor New Haven already has Deputy Mayor in the person of the President of the Board of Aldermen, and that officer has in time past "deputied" pretty well, So far as we have been able to see But 1t now seems to be thought that New Haven is some like the notion was awhile ago when the presidential suc- cession wasn't adequately provided for So the idea is promulgated that a formal Deputy Mayor should be insert- ed between the Mayor and the present somewhat informal Deputy Mayor, who Is also the president of the Board of Aldermen.
 Of course 1t can be admitted that New Haven should never be without a Mayor. But if there is scare on about that the Deputy Mayor notion isn't enough to quiet it. It adds only one to the list of possibilities. which is by no means enough. And that one l Is going to cost something, unless the absent or disabled Mayor for whom he subs Is 'docked' during his absence or disability, which would hardly be worthy of Q great and generous city 1 like New Haven. wouldn't 1t be bet te? to provide that the president of the Board of Aldermen should deputy when called on, and if he couldn't att tend to-it that the rest of the aldermen should be called on in succession? That would surely prevent any vacancy in the office of Mayor, and would give hope and ambition to many worthy gentlemen who prefer honor to money. Of course the formal and official Depu- | Ly AhoypA PlOpp0Nt 6Ub llluCH Imoney New Haven's mayors are pret- ty healthy, industrious and home-stay- ing, and they wouldn't give Deputy Mayor much of a show. So on the whole he doesn't seem to be much needed, or to have much probability of usefulness or profit in him. But if we are afraid that there may not be a Mayor let's make all the aldermen eligible, and give them something to live and work for. Perhaps an alder mar who thought he might be Mayor for a few minutes, a few hours, or a few days, would be powerfully influ- enced for good by the thought. Ii might make him much more civic than he would otherwise be.
 What is really needed in New Haven according to the testimony of many disquieted and disgusted housewives is lot of deputy garbage collectors who will efficiently collect while the head ones are looking the other way or nor looking at all

THEN IT W1L1 ADJOURN

Yesterday wasn't moving day for the Connecticut legislature, and there is now no sure indication that the Fourth of July will be. The siren song of a short session was duly sung at the beginning of the long session, as per- haps 1t always will be, world without end. Amen. Now we are left to guess when the session will end, and no prize is offered for the right guess. But in tn. fitness of time the legislature will adjourn. Fitness of time! Expressive words, So expressive and accurate that we repeat that then is when the legislature will adjourn.

SOME BIG BoRDs.

Naturalization" and "Paternalism" are big words. Just about as big as Initiative and Referendum, though not quite as mouth-filling and soul-satis-
 flying. They used to scare the good people of this country some, and they are still used with intent to scare. But they have lost a good deal of their terrifying quality. It has been discoY- cred that the real meaning of the words is not what it used to be thought to be.

WILLING TO TALK.

President Melleh was able to hold his own with the Washington reporters yesterday, and to maintain his reputa- tion of being able to hold his own with them without the usual tricks which some men who visit Washington and are there visited by reporters feel call ed on to try to play When asked if he came to Washington to see the Presi- dent Mr. MelIen said: "Yes, mainly. You might say, however, that I made a social call, if you want to do so." Tn fact he added, T would not like to be quoted about anything except re- ligion."
 We don't suppose that the fact that President Mellen's views concerning religion were not besought by the Washington reporters is any indica- ton that there is a lack of interest in religion in Washington. The reporters were sent out after railroad news. and trey couldn't switch off onto anything so unsensational as religion.

MOVING DAY. Q

Yesterday was Moving Day. So is every day. Life compels us to move out of one place into another, and out of one state of mind into another. Elm erson says we go from one dream to another, toward the only reality, which is death. And death, the wise and the good tell us, is only 8 moving from this world to another. So we must move, perhaps forever. This isn't very happy thought for those who moved yesterday, but if 1t Is the law It must be accepted. Let us go on moving as long as we have to with hope. The next move may be the best yet

A remarkable trial recently closed in the Supreme court of Germany at Leip- sic The accused man was an ex-lieu- tenant in the Austrian army named Hartmann, and the charge against him was of spying in Germany on behalf of France His defence was that he real ly wished to deceive France in the in- terests of Germany. At the last Ger man manoeuvres, after getting a com mission from French agent for ''in- formation" he offered himself to a German staff officer as a counter spy, but vras rejected on account of his an- tecednnts. Soon after this he was ar- rested on the manoeuvres ground, when he again affirmed his plan to deceive the French. The Leipsic court seems to have accepted this plea. At any rate, he was acquitted.
 About seventy years ago millions of tons of earth, powders and gravel slid from the side of Mount Katahdin to Sourdnahunk stream, distance of seven miles. and damned the stream, forming what Is known to West Branch lumbermen as Slide dam.

down by powder weighing many tons. The trunk was sound, but the bark and foliage had been removed by the scraping the tree received when the slide occurred. Another large tree with foliage intact was found in the pit. The foliage of this tree, when first removed from the earth, looked fresh and green as if it had just been re- moved from growing tree, but faded in few hours.
 The Navy department is in receipt of the reports of the tests which have been held on board the U. s. s. Flori- da. These were made to demonstrate whether or not it would be possible to fire a gun of one turret over the top of another without Injury to the occu- pants of the lower turret. This ar rangement is necessary on board the battleships for which contracts have just been awarded and on the two ves- sels for which bids are to be opened on June 20. It was found in the experi- ment held on board the Florida that there were no disastrous effects of the firing observable by the officers who occupied the lower turret. A gun from that turret of twelve-inch calibre was removed and mounted in position above the turret. The firing was at different angles, and was considered ample to convince the observers that the plan was feasible and could be car ried out with perfect safety and at no inconvience to those who were below the shock of fire.

The grating of old trees, while vir-
tually the same, will call for some spe-
cial treatment. If sprouts near the
ground can be secured, they can be al
ways used to advantage. Otherwise re-
move the soil for a few inches about
the body of the tree and graft i'm
mediately on the roots While the bark
of the tree is very thick above the
ground, it will be found thin upon the
roots And while this latter method
may not be quite so sure, it will be
safer for the tree. A portion of the
top of the old tree should be cut away,
and, finally, all be removed.
