GRADUATION DRESSES.

The Kansas City Journal publishes cartoon of general contemporary inter est Beneath 1t is the inscription: Her last problem To get q $40 graduating gown for slls0" It shows young school girl seated at her desk. chewing on the end of her pencil, her hair askew and her brow furrowed Her school books are thrown aside while she Is studying the intricacies of a number of fashion sheets. The picture speaks for itself and In view of some very sensible remarks on the same subject by Super intendent of Schools Beede 1t Is of great local interest.
 There seems to be no reason why this final exam" of the sweet girl gradu. ate" should be such a tough one The necessity for all this eleventh-houf worry before the distribution of the d. plomas Is quite imaginary, One girl has to have an expensive dress because her friend does: her pride makes her dis satisfied with less. Furthermore, the expense Is more than can reasonably be borne by many families. especially this season when money has not been any too plentiful.
 In some other cities this year the school authorities have taken very wise action fin trying to discourage this growing tendency to make the grad uating gowns expensive and elaborate A similar move in New Haven would he harmonious and commendable. At Yale the tendency has been each year to cut down the unnecessary expenses of the junior promenade festivities The committees decision not to give their young ladies flowers to wear to the biz armory dance has been met with a sim liar decision on the part of a larger number of those who attend every sea- son. Cannot tho graduating school chill dren come 10 some such mutual agree ment between them upon the subject of graduating gowns? It is as often a question of taste as of economy, espe- cially with young girls of this age. In my opinion" says Mir. Beede, "it shows better taste to wear a simpler gown on this occasion, and l think 1t ought to be done"

THE SUBMARINE INQUIRY.

We fear we cannot follow the reason ing of the esteemed Waterbury Repub- lican in the Lilley matter as closely as perhaps we should. To illustrate how justified he was in undertaking the in. vestlgation of the submarine builders. and how unjusti1ed The Journal Courier is in stating that he failed to prove his case, our contemporary imag- ines a case in point.
 It presents an imaginary Congress- man Lilley visiting the proper members of the house of representatives, who are in care of the physical well being of that assembly hall, and charging that some unknown member of the house cloak room He is asked if he has seen the offensive animal He replies that he has not. He is then asked if he had touched if, to which he enters an em-
 
 phatic denial He is then asked if he heard 1t and he replies that he did not Driven to desperation he s asked If he has any reason to suppose that there was a skunk in the cloak room and he replies that he smeled it No, he does not know of anybody else who saw it, touched 1t or smelled It. You have no other basis for your charge except the suspicion that you smelled something which you thought was skunk" this imaginary Lilley is then asked None, whatever" is his reply The Waterbury Republican thus sums up the case; 'Whereupon the committee reports that Congressman Lilley has violated his oath and placed himself In contempt of the house by declaring that there ever was a skunk. But everypody knows that there is something in the air that tells when a skunk has passed by"
 It seems incredible that this imagin- ary Lilley, alone of all the members of the house, including the cloak room at tendants, should have been the only one to suspect the presence of

THE VOTING MACHINE.

The opinion of Henry T. Blake up- on the subject of the ballot is entitled to respectful consideration. first be- cause he has given the subject care fu and prolonged consideration, and second because no one can possibly suspect him of any other purpose than to bring to the voter the opportunity 10 record his preference for a candi- date or a set of candidates with the greatest ease and independence This is not the point of view, which has prevailed always in the halls of legis- lation when Improvements In the bal lot law have been under consideration and 1t Is on that account largely that the public has found itself more and more inclined to substitute machine voting, which requires intelligence on the part of the voter and indepen- dence as we'll
 The formal objections made by MT. Blake to the voting machine have for the most part, if not entirely been met and answered by the experience of the city of Hartford, to draw an illustration near at home When first used they did emphasize many of the doubts and fears Mir Blake suggests, but the more often they have been used the more evident it has become that they assist the cause of good

EXTEND THE ILLUSTRATIONS.

Now that the question of postoffice accommodations in New Haven has been settled, at least temporarily, by the decision of congress to give us s5o,000 for an addition which was se- cured by the hearty cooperation of Uncle N. D. the opportunity has come to turn our attention to other matters of importance in connection with the mails of the city and vii cinity.
 Some time since the proposal was made In West Haven that its post office be consolidated with the general postotfice in this city and be made a sub-station. The suggestion was met with general protest. West Haven CTS did not want to lose their individ- uallty in post office or in other mat ters. Feeling ran very high on the subject with not few. The advant- ages of the change were not seen be- cause of misdirected local pride. But the change went through and the West Haven postoftice was made a sub-station of the general postofflce in New Haven. The change brought with it the regular urban house to- house delivery, which has proved much more acceptable to the good people of that borough than the somewhat rural system in vogue be- fore that time. AS result. 1t did not take long before feeling was as unan- imous In the other direction. favoring the sub-statlon idea, as 1t had been before that for the continuance of the independent postoffice.
 The greater the satisfaction of West Haven, the more reason should there be for the extension of the sub-station system in other nearby localities. The postotfice regulations provide that the system may be made use of to include any offices within five miles from the city limits. Thus 1t may be seen that, beside the present sub-stations at West Haven, Whitneyville, Westville and Fair Haven, there is nothing to prevent others being established at East Haven, Short Beach. Totoket. Montowese, North Haven. Augurville, Centerville, Woodbridge, and possibly orange, Branford and Woodmont. All of these postoffices are within five miles of the city limits
 The advantages that the changes would bring to those who live in each of these localities would be many. The result would be that they would be receiving the same mail facilities as their neighbors who live right in New Haven. The change, too would bene- fit the general New Haven postoffice; all the business done at the sub-sta tions would be credited to 1t; New Haven would be cassed higher as a postoffice center and Washington could be counted on to give 1t the greater privileges and allowances that the higher grade postotfices naturally obtain.

government and work an injury to none, Like other changes which have been brought into the life of community, the voting machine has been obliged to fight It's way but once having justified It's experience, as at Hartford, the proposal to throw 1t away, In order to return to the dis earded system of voting, would be de- feated It Is in its way beating the wind to dispose of an instrument for the recording of the popular will as fraught with new dangers when many communities have found upon trial that 1t is charged with unsuspected virtues.
 MT Blake is, however, entirely right In one particular as we look at the question. No small amount of the popularity, which the voting machine enjoys, can in the state of Connecti- cut De traced to the ballot laws now on It's statute books. They make steadily for secrecy with the envelope, while they make steadily for inaccu- rate counting with the opportunities given for rejecting ballots, It is be- cause the general assembly has time and time again declined to remedy these defects, that the plain people have been driven to take their chances with the machine rather than with the laws as they are written and adhered to. With their imperfectons the voting machine has become a bet ter promise of honest voting than the system devised and upheld for other reasons, New Haven has no reason to shrink from the proposed substi- tuition.

VICE PRESIDENT HUGHES.

In spite of Governor Hughes per sistent assertion that he Is out for first place or none on the republican ticket, his friends have continued quite as persistently especially since the governors brilliant success with the race track bills last week, to sug- gest his name as possible nominee for the second place. As this paper has already observed, the number of men who are mentioned for the honor of a vice presidential nomination is legion; and. with the time of the con vention already at hand, 1t is more than necessary that the unavailable timber should he cast aside.
 It is not SO much because we be- lieve Governor Hughes is less avail able as vice president that we would have his name omitted, but be- cause we believe him more available ts EpNtlilpl VI ANfN I VI h Ethlt lbl another term Upon the latter ques- ton the governor has been somewhat more reticeat than he has been on that of national politics, But 1t should be taken for granted that a man such as he has proved to be cannot fail to see his true mission. It may be believed that he will not de- sire to return 10 a private practice of law at the expiration of his present term of office Nv York state needs him too much, He has done valiant work for it and he is not the man to be blind to the fact that there is as much, if not more, work for him ahead
 Governor Hughes has made a mum Der of creditable recommendations to the New York legislature which have not as yet been acted upon favorably, but which undoubtedly could and would be passed, along with others he might suggest did he serve an other term as governor Among the | defeated bills he has proposed are those to place the telephone and tele- graph companies under the control of the public utilities commission; pro- viding for direct nominations and an official ballot at the primaries; to pro vide for the government of political parties and to protect the rights of the minority; placing department stores under the supervision of the state labor department; creating commissions to investigate the stock gambling evils of Wall street and the condition of the unemployed and to provide for measures of relief. Here is plenty of food for thought. an op- portunity for work, and promise of worthwhile results. Governor Hughes is the man to bring it all about. He would make good vice president no doubt, but there will be time for that latter on.

SAYINGS AND DOINGs,

The wood chemistry section of the forestry bureau has been giving some attention to the subject of the produc ton of turpentne from yellow pine waste. IL Is stated that for the recov cry of turpentine from waste wood the steam distillaton process is far supe rior to destructive dlstillaton, making more uniform crude turpentine, ana usually a higher grade refined product. The wastage from the yellow pine cut each year would yield as much turpen tine as the entire present annual out put in this country, with value of $l4000, 900. At the present rate of cut ting the supply of long leaf yellow pine in the south will be practically ex- hausted in twenty years but the meth ods of exploitation now In use convert only about half the tree into market product

 The annual display of the American flag is of sentimental origin and serves sentimental purpose Like the other days of the year, which arc set apart for specified purposes, Flag Day Is an appealing method of arousing emo tions which might not otherwise be aroused in these days of incessant toll It is the experience of mankind, that unless the country now and then has its attention suddenly attracted to some one of the many ideas and prin- ciples which lie back of its creation, its particular purpose may be over looked and It's penetrating charm for gotten, It Is wholly within the possi- bilities that should Independence Day be ignored for a single generation it's significance would be lost upon thous- ands. The display of the flag upon this day pre-supposes It's ownership, and to own a flag is to be that much nearer to the source of na- tional pride, and what national pride is In It's richest devel- opment the sons of Nippon have but recently demonstrated to the world, while the sons of Russia gave the world sight of It's absence.
