For ways that are dark and tricks that are vain you cant beat William Randolps Hearst. Imagine the su' preme impudence it must take to send a cablegram from Europe in re- ply to an alleged letter from Samuel Gompers, when as a matter of fact MT Gompers never wrote to MT Hearst at all. A man who would dc that is certainly capable of heading a spite movement against Mir Bryan despite the fact that he has always and still favors the Bryan principles Mr Hearst has fought many a good fight in the interests of the people His record to date is one of which any man might be proud. Why de- stry a hard earned reputation by a silly sulking in the tent?-New Ha- ven Union.
 Hearst's workers in Connecticut should take tip, and not be a party to any such deception as was prac- ticed in sending the telegram re- ferred to by the Union. This is a year for all democrats, whether gold, regular, or independence. should bury their differences, get together and rout the common enemy. It can be done and for the good of the country 1t should be done, and then the full dinner pail will be a reality and not a myth.

No matter who may be an individ- ual's preference for the governorship, the republican nominee will be the next governor.-Hartford Courant.
 Take heed all ye republicans who are inclined to think and, act for yourselves. The boss at the head of sloop navigation has spoken and if every mothers son of you do not fall in line and vote for what the machine grinds out you will all be read out of the party.

It is not very difficult to devise means to beat a publicity law for campaign contributions. One of the plans devised by the republican man. agers is for the trusts and corpora tions to contribute day employment instead of dollars. and thus prove that prosperity is the result of re- publican policies It has been decided by the republican managers that s. 00O.0 is about the limit that can be used Iegitimstely for campaign ex- penses, and the trus,s and corpora tions have therefore been requested that instead Of donating large sums. they put their idle men to work at the present rate of wages. It Is esti- mated that perhaps 3.009.000 men will be benefited by the re-employ- msnt movement to be iaauzaratei. The mills are to open. railrozd i'm Provements planned in the boom timessimes are 10 be pushed. and all lines of manufaeturing are to bs ac- tive. says the New York American.

The efforts of Nebraska republi- cans to induce President Roosevelt to go to Nebraska and make cam paign speeches are ill-advised. The country needs rest.-New York World.

 Has the scheme of the Taft folks in Ohio to eliminate Senator Fora ker been abandoned? It looks so.
 Perhaps they really became con- vinced at last that the effort would involve. more risk to the electoral vote in Ohio in November than they care to take?-Hartford Times. There are in ths country. 500 900 miles of. telegraph and <. telephone poles, if the estimator is not simul- taneously falsifer. That means 32,000,0O0 poles Worse than that it means the stripping of the forests from our hills and the, drying up of our water supply, It ought to mean that wires, which are never orna- mental when exposed to tie weather should be buried. Probably they will be-when. the trees are gone.- Ansonia Sentinel.
 MT Taft is evidently disposed 10 question whether. the national law prohibiting corporations from con- tributing money in a presidential election would stand a judicial test of validity. This Is because the courts have held that presidential electors are state and not national officers. But for all that his repub- lican campaign committee will ob- serve the spirit. of the law and re- ceive no contributions from that quarter. This is ,well.-Springfield Republican.
 Cuba is also crying for emigrants, 1t seems. and Gonzalo de Quesada. minister to this country, has sailed for Europe for the purpose of coax ing residents of the Mediterranean countries to settle in that island re- public. It is said that Cuba is great ly in need of labor, and there is a strong desire to obtain the sort of immigration that will best answer the needs of the country. It is evil dent that this phase of the subject is important, for Cuba already has as many of the lawless and violent element as it can we'll manage Springfield Union.
 Reports received during the past few days indicate a record breaking crop of peaches in Delaware and Maryland this year. The railroad companies have estimated the Della ware shipments at 1,779,000 baskets requiring $500 cars to transport them as against 1S6 carloads for last year. The crop in Georgia and Cali fornia is also unusually large and the railroads within the next few weeks will send large numbers of ventilator and refrigerator cars into the southern states to handle the fruit. The transportation is so prompt that peaches picked in Del aware in one day are sold fin New York the next.-New Britain Her aid.

Torpedo Proof Warships.

from the example Of the fathers that
they pay SO much attention to getting
warships that will be proof against tor"

pedoes at Mobile bay is good cue to.
day. for since torpedoes were intro
duced in our civil war, about forty five
years ago, less than fifty vessels in all
the war and mercantile marine of the
world have been injured by torpedoes.
Torpedoes are terrible things when you
think what they might do IL given q
chance. Farragut was always ready to
swap chances.
The torpedo must get at the vessel 1t
is to do up before it can act. And the
ship built for speed and easy handling
can easily keep itself at a safe dis
lance from the torpedo thrower. The
submarine Is believed to be the worst
Of all contrivances to carry torpedo
against the target. But every battle
ship, cruiser or monitor has more than
double the speed OF q submarine. The
torpedo didn't knock out the Florida,
although its attack was invited and
awaited. But to build ships especially
torpedo proof, except perhaps, those
intended to destroy torpedoes, would
seem to be unwise. The ship that can
steam well and take hard knocks in the
open is about the ideal war vessel
Ericsson went SO far in trying to make
the first monitor an all round shot
proof affair that he turned out an un-
wteldy tub. Its opponent was not much
better, and, while the monitor came out
gloriously. her career showed that a
floating bombproof is not the thing for
fight,

A. Model Trade School.

When the idea Of manual training
was cloud on the educational horizon
Of this country no bigger than hand,
Charles Pratt founded an institute in
the city of Brooklyn. N. Y, devoted to
it exclusively. He carried on the work
with well balanced enthusiasm until
manual training became popular in the
courses Of hundreds of public schools.
And the idea is still growing.
Those who are active in the move.
ment for trade schooling may study
with advantage the development of the
Pratt idea, which, though a splendid
and well nigh finished model at this
date, is still advancing. But the sys-
tenn of trade schooling In Germany is
perhaps the best in the world Of ma
tional magnitude. The trade schools
of Germany do not stop with the train
ing Of apprentices. They have recently
established courses for the instruction
Of master workmen. To gain adj
mission to these courses an applicant
must have had experience and must
give proof Of certain degree Of skill
and aptitude. After admission the stu
dent Is given practical and theoretic
instruction not only in the actual exer.
else Of his craft according to the most
improved methods, but also in the ma
ture and the cost Of materials, the prin-
ciples governing allied trades, in esti-
mating, designing, and so on. When
the courses have been completed the
student Is dubbed master" q title
which carries with 1t an official guar
antee of efficiency. Perhaps it is a
far cry from our half developed trade
schools to the higher trade education
provided In Germany. But much is to
be expected when progressive school
like Pratt's is widely studied and fol-
lowed as model. The latest new de-
parture at Pratt's is the opening Of q
retail shop where the products Of the
students handicraft are offered to the
public by the students themselves.
This brings the novices face to face
with problems Of trade which they will
