THE LAKE LETTER.

The political waters Of the state
have been stirred by the formal
launching of the Lake candidacy. 1t
slid from the ways with all sails set,
with numerous veteran navigators
aboard and with Everett j. himself at
the wheel. The chart calls for no sub
marine ventures. II is, a sail on the
surface for the port across the river.
Surprise at the continued candidacy
OF Congressman Lilley for the guber-
material nomination at the hands Of
the republican party after his failure
to unearth naval scandals, probably
has much TO do with the determine
ton of Lieutenant Governor Lake to
offer himself as candidate for pro-
motion, in accordance with the prac-
tice of the republican organization.
We reach this conclusion from this
sentence in the Lake letter: THE as
surances of my friends, in whose judg-
ment have confidence. that my NOM
nation would not load or weaken the
national ticket, as / deem 1t of SUI
preme importance that Taft be elect

In other words the republican voters
of the state are asked to decide be-
fore the convention between Lake
and Lilly from the point of view Of
each to strengthen and not weaken
the national ticket 1t is apparent
that in some quarters the Lilley can
didacy IL under the circumstances re-
garded as risky.
The concluding sentence of the Lake
letter gives the republicans Of the
state something to think of: II you
find nothing in my record as repre-
sentative as senator or as lieutenant
governor to convince you that should
not be promoted as the last two lieu
tenant governors have been. ! shall
appreciate such support as you are

A SWIMMING SCHOOL.

Superintendent Of Schools Beede pro-
poses a swimming school to be run in
conjunction with the public schools
of the city, But he does not propose
the suggestion for immediate city ac-
ton but rather as subject for con-
temptation and consideration. AT
present taxpayers seem to have all
they can do, but am sure that some
day public swimming school will be
a reality In this city, as II Is most
Necessary acquisition to our summer
school," he says.
At first thought, perhaps, swim
ming school seems an institution that
might come best as coincident to that
long -heralded high school gymnasium
in which, It may be hoped, there will
be swimming oool But the latter
seems to be a mater of such n far
distant future that It were folly to
count on It, But, II a gymnasium Is
important to the city's scholars,
swimming school Is even moro so. The
first has to do with matters of health;
the second deals with the even more
important question of life stself. The
perusal OF every Monday mornings pa
pers, with their usual weekly allot-
ment OF stories of drowning and near
drownings all over the coast and in
land, due to the Characteristic fool
hardness of youth, combined with a
lack OF knowledge of how to swim,
must impress this fact upon the minds
OF all.
AS Superintendent Beede says "Ev-
cry person should know how 10 swim
and there is no better time to learn
than In childhood. It is at this time
in life when a person Ia able to become
perfectly familiar with the water" He

A LYME BRIDGE.

II Is freely conceded that the time
will come when there will be first
class public bridge over the Connecti-
cut river in the vicinity Of Lyme. The
failure of the rather feeble attempt
made last year TO convert the old rail-
road bridge into bridge for general
traffic, and the near approach now Of
planning TO hold when II chrstens its
new and beautiful million dollar stone
bridge over the waters OF the same riv-
err miles upstream. call attention TO the
need Of one
II was but natural that the plans
to make use Of the old railroad bridge
for vehicular traffic fell through. In
deed, II may be taken as fortunate that
not strong; It was not wide enough for
teams to pass; and It was poorly sit
uated II would have been quite i'm
possible to have piloted river traffic
through its draw and the draw of the
new and massive railroad bridge near
at hand, even we're the openings made
opposite each other, which they could
not well be. What is needed is new
bridge at this polnt-not a made-over
old bridge. Conditions demand some
thing worthy Of the state, the river,
the amount OF traffic that would uee
It and the continual development OF
the contiguous country. II would mean
true economy In the long run.
What such bridge would mean to
the whole eastern coast OF the state
cannot be overestimated. We, who
have lived near the waters Of the
sound, are too prone to overlook their
beauty and attractiveness, but the
manner in which summer visitors and
permanent residents are being attract
cd to the Connecticut shore IN reone-
trical ratio each year, testlfes elo-
uuently to their good sense. The best
OF communication between these de-
veoping districts is imperative With
the perfection of the auto, the ques-
ton OF good bridges takes on much the
same Importance that good roads have
heretofore with the bicyclists, The
roads between here and New London
are not always of the best. They are
getting better all the time but the
panacea that will perfect them will be
an adequate bridge over the Connec-
tlcut to connect them
The shore route is the natural route
between New York and Boston If the
road traffic that goes between those
points were encouraged to go by the
route, It would mean much for the dis
trict both in advertisement and In
money spent along the way Autoists
are liberal spenders. To enlarge the
facilities Of the Lyme ferry will not
do It would be, at best temporary
remedy AS the New London Day

ry was only too plainly shown on the
day Of the races, many preferring to

A CLEVELAND MONUMENT.

: he New York Times Is early in the
field with the attractive suggestion
that the Chamber OF Commerce Of
its city undertake at once the erec-
ton there of a monument comment
Grating the great public services Of
Mr.. Cleveland. Says the Times: "He
was governor Of this state. He went
to the governors chair to the presi-
dency here Some time after his re-
tirement from office at the close OF his
second term, he became identified with
large business interests in the city Of
New York" For these reasons the
Times would have the work carried on
In a spirit OF local pride and apprecia-
ton.
II rs likely that the congress will
honor his memory in It's own char
acteristic way and In consequence
add to the historical interest OF Wash
ington. It Is extremely proper that
the New York Chamber of Commerce
should become the guardian of fund
for memorial purposes there to which
admirers of Mr.. Cleveland resident
elsewhere could contribute. Connec-
ticut has many dollars to contribute to
such fund as It has many men and
citizens who pray for the revival of
the simple political faith which in
spired the man and whose simple
resting place stands as rebuke to
the foolish.
Should the New York Chamber Of
Commerce assent to this attractive
suggestion it's first step should be to
