ONE LESSON LEARNED.

The attempt of enthusiastic members of the Hartford Business Mems Asso- ciatioh to exempt from taxation for period of five years new typewriter manufacturing company which is about 10 locate there has been abandoned. The new company will now proceed to build It's factory with the formal assurance of the city fathers that our city will do all in it's power, consistent with it's charter, to encourage and assist the development of its industry" Thus closes a chapter in the local history of the city of Hartford which ought nev- CT to be forgotten.
 We wish again to refer to this trans action as Illustrating the great care the business men of our large centers of population should exercise in their plans for the betterment of their home prosperity. It is apparent that the new conner selected Hartford as a desirable manufacturing center on account of the natural and artificial advantages it of- fered over other places inspected by it. l. bought several acres of land upon which it is to build, promising to em- ploy nearly two thousand hands. It was not, however, unsusceptible to the advantage of enjoying five-year im- munlty from local taxation and peti- ticned the court of common council to that effect, explaining, however, that lt was stimulated to do so by citizens of the town. Nor does 1t appear from the correspondence, which has now been published, that the representa- tlves of the manufacturing enterprise were at any time under a misunder- standing as to Hartford's right to give exemption. They knew from the first that the consent of the general assem- bly, would be necessary, and they know now that the court of common council can do nothing until the city charter is amended They withdraw as petition. CTS, not because it is impossible to appeal to the legislature but because they have discovered that the proposed exemption would be against good public policy. So much for their part in the transaction.
 Without reflecting in any way upon the sincere purpose of the newcomer fin asking for special favors, it is ob- VIous that it took a twenty to one shot. It would have gladly accepted the fla vor, but at no time expected to search for a site elsewhere in event of a dis appointment. The business men of the city who so enthusiastically shouted for the special grant of privilege appear to have given but little serious thought to the project, beyond the opportunity 1t gave them to show their appreciation

LINGO JAP1NESE.

When some of the tip-top Japanese were touring this country and saying very polite things when they said any thing there were those who did not hesitate to remark that the Japanese were not really as polite as their sam pies. Since then 1t has been revealed that there are impollte Japanese
 In fact, jngo Japanese. They are making some stir in their own dear native land, but there is no reason to think they will succeed In making real muss. The stir seems to be the work of the opposition Progressive party, which appears to be conducting an organized campaign for the over throw of the salonji ministry. on the ground that 1t is too subservient to American influence, A resolution adopted by the Progressive party de- clares that "the attitude of our gov ernment toward that in Washington has so far been unsatisfactory to the nation, and 1t is necessary that proper steps should be taken by our govern ment in order to maintain the national dignity and permanently insure the safety of the rights and property of our compatrlots in America.
 Thus the Japanese jlngoes. There are also jingoes in this country, but they are as powerless as the Japanese jingoes probably are There will be no war between the United States and Japan, Even Wall street declines to be scared by the prospect of one.

THE oAsE OF 1IGHrr.

The city court was given an oppor- tunity the other day to make test case of the probation law along some- what extended lines, and it Is we'll that 1t took advantage of 1t. One Lightly, who has been in the habit of taking the law into his own hands by con- ducting himself as his mood dictated and by threatening the life of hIs wife and her volunteer protectors, was be- fore the court for offenses of that gen. eral character. Realizing that he was overpowered he made all sorts of premises to behave and instead of be- Ing sent to jail was paroled in the custody of the probation officer.
 The last time Lighty came before the court he was sent to jail for a specl- fled term, but the moment his term ex- pired he returned to hls old ways. In other words his Imprisonment had no effect whatever upon him, though 1t increased the expense of the State and the county in their care of hln. This time he was handed over to the proba- tion officer, who has full charge of him and will, if he misbehaves again, take him up Whalley avenue for rest of three months. It has been the practice of the courts to apply the probation principle to first offenders and to send second and incorriglble offenders to jail, but 1t is a question if the policy should not be that of using the prlncl- pie to its utmost.
 The experiences of Lighty will now do much to Illuminate the future poli- cy of the State. If he behaves himself, supports his family and keeps at work as consequence of being on proba- tion, then that principle has received a vindication which will be of the great est value. If he misbehaves and Is sent to jail, then 1t will be demonstrated that the wise policy of the State In such instances is to make more of the indetermlnate sentence principle. It is ahsurd that Lightly should conduct him self as he pleases and then suffer the penalty of a known law, for the sever ity of which he cares nothing. He should be made to feel and to realize that when he persists in the violation of the law his punishment will come to him in such an indefinite form that if he has any thinking powers left they will stand him in good stead. or ho will become a permanent charge upon the State, which can then begin to find soma sort of labor for him and his kind which will relieve the expense imposed upon law abiding citizens.

SOME UNANIMITY.

The board of education unanimously voted to adopt the schedule of wages reported by the school committee, af- ter slight changes had been made In 1t. These changes were the only in- dications that the schedule was re- garded by the board as a tentative Framework" The indications that it was not so regarded were that 1t was unanimously adopted, and unanimous ly adopted without discussion by the board after the public hearing.
 Boards of education in New Haven have had a habit of being unanimous, especially when there has been any thing like Outside disagreement" with theirwisdom and skill. Their unaninity has sometimes seemed like the ef- fort of the foolish ostrich to hide, and 1t has sometimes resulted in the same way. The board graciously allowed the public to talk to it before 1t made up its mind, and 1t apparently wasn't at all Impressed with what the public said, for the public was about as unanimous against the action of the board as the action of the board was against the unanlmity of the public Of course this doesn't indicate that the board didn't listen to and consider the arguments of the public. All it indicates is that the board knows bet ter than the public, and knows that it does.
 The action of the board leaves very interesting situation. One mem Der of the board Is reported as saying that the incident is closed. This smacks of firmness and diplomacy. but, judging from what many mem bers of the public are saying, the incl dent cannot yet be regarded as closed. Indeed, it looks as if it had only just been opened.

NOT so SMOOTH.

The recent plain, not to say impu- dent. talk of Brigham H. Roberts, Mormon and believer In polygamy, isn't much like some of the smooth talk that was heard when Senator Shoot was on trial. It seems to justi- fly the Salt Lake Tribune in saying:
 There is no confidence whatever to be placed in the pledges of the faithess leaders of the Mormon church. There is no power in the general Govern ment under the laws as they exist, to get behind the barriers of Statehood and deal with this question by the Federal power. But 1t must be dealt with. The only thing to do, then, the proper thing, the necessary thing, is to amend the National Constitution in such manner as to give the Federal

Of Hartford's prosperity, They did not
 realize, if they thought about the mat
 ter at all, that a failure to exempt
 would not deprive them of any advan-
 tage from the presence of some two thousand new citizens skilled in their
 artisanship. They declined to consider
 the embarrassing situation in which
 tax exemption would leave another manufacturer of typewriting machines
 who has built up his business in spite
 of the burden of aiding in the main
 tehance of the local government and who must enter the market side by side with his new rival They swept aside all consideration of the injustice of making those who have made the city of Hartford what it is, and to whose judgment and good citizenship may be attributed its fascination as a desirable manufacturing site, bear the burden which should properly be even ly distributed. Experience, a respect for the economic laws of control and a realization that cities cannot lift them selves by the bootstraps, played no part in their deliberations. They were ready to take such steps as were necessary to be taken, including an amendment of the charter, to welcome the new -conner with open arms. The refusal of the city government to enter into any deal of this sort has brought the whole move ment to a close.
 This experience, as we have already said, ought to be taken to heart by the residents of all the large centers of population in the State It should not tend to discourage that spirit of local pride which is constantly appealed to to enthuse the people along lines of de- velcpment which can in no other way be accomplished, nor should it close dcwn the associations which have for their settled purpose the improvement or local conditions in order to increase the volume of business done. It should, however, teach, that, after all, modera- tion is a larger dividend payer In boonl- ing the life of a city than famboyant schemes of advertising. It is an ele- mertal principle to observe, in study ing the life of a center of population, that while every possible hospitality should be extended to those who are attracted there by its advantages, nothing should be- done for them which involves sacrifice of those who were there first. Those on the ground who have worked and labored that great CT future might be enjoyed deserve the consideration which is expressed in the old saying that Charity begins at home"
 The people of the State of Connecti- cut now know that it requires an act of the legislature to let them give away their own and other peoples money, and they should reflect further upon the probability of the general assembly declining to encourage any other doc- Urine should it be asked to. In other words, an old-fashioned policy has again been ironed out for the enllght- enment of enthusiasts, and a benefit has been done the whole State.

NOT EyEv 4 DEMooB4rq

The other day Brother Bryan had a talk with Governor Hughes, and the talk got around to President Roosevelt. Brother Bryan spoke of the increasing difficulty of making partisan speech and by way of illustration said:"When- ever I make one, before long President Roosevelt says the same things with more force and eloquence, and takes them out of the field of partlsanship And the Charleston News and Courier rises to point out that that is one of the reasons why MT. Bryan should not be nominated as Democratic candidate for President. "A Democrat who is so much like a Republican that he cannot tell the difference between himself and a Republican is not the sort of Demo- crat for the Democrats to nominate for any office or to follow in any cam paign."
 This shows what can be thought and said. The News and Courier is evident ly not in favor of ticket with Roose- welt and Bryan on it. Indeed, it does not even seem to be in favor of tick ct with Bryan on it, But are there any Democrats?

 Superintendent Cooley points out that the number of boys in public high schools who are financially able and temperamentally fitted to go on to the universities and thence to the profes- sions is made of tens. while thousands go the way of the factory, the store, the shop and the streets" Therefore in these peoples colleges supported by the taxpayers. there should be given more industrial education and business training.

WILL THERE RE oYEq

The other day Senator Briggs of this State said that Daboll's Almanac of thirty years ago said there would be no summer in 1907 Now we read that Miss Durban, of Cincinnati, Ohio, while searching in an old bureau, found an almanac printed in 1887 which says: There will be no sum- mer in the year 1907"
 This indicates how the wondrous year of 1907 impressed somebody sev- enty years ago. Perhaps it will yet appear that Mother shipton felt It's shadow, that it added to Jeremlah's lamentations, and that Methuselah was trying to live to see 1t. Here we are, right i'll it. Wouldn't 1t be a good joke on the prophets If, after all, there should be summer pretty soon? Yes terday indicated that Spring is at hand and Spring is followed by Sum- mer according to the dictionary.

GRADUATION.

Do we make too much of gradua- tion? Many of the educators and some of the educated think not, but Super- intendent Cooley of the Chicago school system thinks we do, and he has something to say about the mat ter which Is worth attention. He be- lieves that hundreds of thousands of pupils in this country cut short their schooling every year because they get the idea that unless they can graduate there is nothing to be gained by con- tinuing their studies. This feeling, says MT Cooley, is largely due to the almost universal tendency of the public-school educators Ito make a fetish of graduation" Tn the Chicago superintendent view, undue emphasis is laid on graduation, because those who frame the course of study for the
 high school have an inclination to make that institution feeder to the university Thus it is only for the
 comparatively small number of boys
 who can afford to devote to study the long period of years that it takes to prepare for a professional career. But the high school ought to be genuinely a peoples college" The boys who
 go there should not be inspired so much with an ambition to take part in
 a graduation and attend college as to learn, during one, two, three or, four years of attendance, as much as they

An Austrian military organ draws at. tention to one of the minor details of the Japanese musketry practice dur ing the late war which seems to have escaped notice in Europe. In European armies the question of rife rest for long range firing has led to many in gerious contriyances for devising tri- pod arrangements. The Japanese War Department solved the difficulty In a mr-ch simpler but equally effective way. Trey just provided the soldier With a bag of stout cotton eight inches wide and twenty inches long, which he could carry in his cartridge case on the march, and on reaching the fight
 ing line could in minute stuff with earth or stones. The device gave atnaz- ing assistance in accuracy of rife fire.

Coal has been reached at depth of 1921 feet in Lord Londonderry's new cclliery at seaham harbor, in England, after q remarkable engineering feat. Owing to the presence of enormous quantities of water forming Q quick sand, 1t was found necessary to freeze the ground to depth of nearly 300 feet. Twenty eight holes were bored in a circle about the shaft to depth of ASA feet and freezing tubes were in- serted. Brine was the medium used to extract the heat from the strata. The length of time required to form wall of ice was 1s5 days, the wall being maintained for S53 days. In the shalt bottom the frozen sand was so hard that 1t could be penetrated only by blasting.
