Hartford's Thanks.

Superintendent of Police Beach yesterday received resolutions passed by the Hartford police commissioners expressing their thanks to the local board of safety for giving the ser vices of the Waterbury policemen free during the bridge celebration. The resolutions are handsomely en- bossed and neatly framed. Superin- tendent Beach handed them over to City Clerk William H. Sandland who will present them to the safety board. They read as follows: The board of police commissioners of Hartford, Connecticut. The board of police commissioners unanimously desires to express to the board of public safe ty of Waterbury, Conn, most cordial thanks for your recent gene- rosity to the city of Hartford. in giving us free of charge the eff cient and faithful services of your patrolmen. The city gave its help to you years ago in the time of your disastrous fire freely, but as duty. The rendition of your recent service to us without charge in our time of celebration makes us feel that 1t arose from sincere feeling of friend ship between the two cities which we will do our best to maintain.

 J. Albert Calhoun,
 John H. Buck,
 Norman F. Allen,

In the contest for the lucrative of flee of tho assistant clerkship of the coming house of representatives a new candidate has entered the field in the person of James A. Peasley, a Waterbury lawyer. The other candi- dates were J. Olin Howe of Water bury, Sabin Russell of Dayvillc and Charles W. Cramer of Portland. All of these men had advocates in their support at the Lilley talkfest. but 1t was supposed that Howe. who was formerly Lilley's private secretary as congressman, had the inside track, until Peasleys name was brought forward It was then discovered that Peasley had secured the backing of the entire Waterbury delegation in the legislature. which Howe had not, and for this and for other reasons if was conieetured that Pessley might be expected to be the winner of the plum

SCREEN WAGON SERVICE
Waterbury in List Where New Con.
 tracts Will be Made.

Connecticut people will have . chance to become government con- tractors by submitting proposals to carry the mails in the regulation screen wagons in the larger cities and on star and steamboat routes throughout the state, on or before January next After that date the postoffice department will open it's bids for the mail service indicated throughout New hngland and the Atlantic Coast states as far south as Virginia. The departments adver- tisements call for bids covering the period of four years between July 1, 1909, and June 3G, 1913.
 The Connecticut cities where the screen wagon service is to be re- newed are Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport, Waterbury, Norwich, and South Norwalk. The screen wa- gon routes in these cities run be- tween the several postoffices, branch stations, railroad depots, electric car terminals and steamboat landings. The present annual pay for this ser vice and the bond required of con tractors in each case is as follows:

TRAVEL WILL BE CHEAP.

A situation by which it will be
cheaper to travel to Europe than to
stay at home is likely to be created
if the present transatlantic steam
ship war continues. Already second
class passage by the biggest and most
comfortable Atlantic liners costs only
little over thirty dollars, while third
class tickets are below twenty, and it
is predicted that very shortly they
will go to ten. That will mean board
and lodging on some of the finest
ships in the world at only little
more than dollar day, with 5000
mile ocean voyage thrown in. This
literally would be cheaper than stay
ing at home, and might lead to the
names of Mr.. "Half Soles" Kerrigan
Mr.. "Split Finger" Mike and other
well-known social figures of the Bow

cry appearing upon the list Of ocean
voyagers. 1t is noticeable thing
about these steamship wars, however,
that they almost invariably occur in
midwinter, when ocean travel is at
low ebb. 1t is safe to say that before
the annual rush across the Atlantic
begins the war will be ever, with rates
back at their old mark and that all
will be peace and serenity among the
rival lines. 1t is only when there are
few bones to pick that the companies
begin quarreling over them,

TO FIGHT THE HEPBURN ACT

The only provision of the railway
regulation act of 1908 which seems
to have been seriously Objectionable
to the roads was that which prohibits
them, from Mayl, 1908, from carry
ing beyond state lines any commodity
which they own. All the other fea-
lures Of the law appear to have been
agreeable to them. Many OF the
roads talk about figuring that provi-
sion on the ground that it is unconsti-
tutional. The plan is that the roads
will ignore that clause OF the law, and
then when case is made against
them they will make contest.
During the debate on the on the
Hepburn amendment OF 1906 to the
interstate commerce law OF 1887 this
commodity-carrying provision of the
statute was opposed by some good
lawyers, on the ground that the courts
would set it aside as contrary to the
constitution. In the general wind-up,
however, the whole bill was accepted
by everybody in each branch OF Con-
gress except few. The railways
said very little about this provision
at the time because the enforcement
of it was placed two years in the fu-
ture, so as to allow them chance tc
dispose of the property which they
had been hauling. A contest now on
that provision of the law might dis
turb the stock market to some ex-
tent, but it would not be anything
like the menace which the cut in rail
way rates in many of the states
threatened to precipitate.
As the coal roads in Pennsylvania
were the lines which this carrying
provision OF the Hepburn law was di-
rected particularly against, they are
the ones which are expected to be in
volved at the outset in the contest.
All the roads, however, which are
touched by this clause are likely to
Join the coal carriers if these make
any fight. Some Of the Democratic
papers intimate that a fight of this
sort would injure the Republicans in
the presidential canvass. They are
mistaken. The Republicans control
the government, and thus are respon-
sible for legislation, but the Demo-
Gratis appeared to be as anxious as
the Republicans for the passage Of the
Hepburn law. They pretended that
this measure was stolen from the
Democratic platform, and wanted to
make it little more extreme than
the shape in which the Republicans
put it. There is no politics in the
railway regulation act of 1906. The
contest which the roads threaten to
make against the carrying provision
of the statute will not be likely to
disturb business. Nothing is in sight
to check the industrial recovery which
is under way throughout the country
