HEARD IN PASSING,

republican campaign fund of less than $2,000,000 shows that hghts can be won with less cash than was formerly supposed but 1t has been proved this time that less than S700,o00 cuts no figure.-Bridgeport Post.
 Norwalk man has been awarded S2S2 by a jury because an automo- pile he purchased didn't go. If he IS as easily angered as most men that amount of money will hardly reim- purse him for the injury done to his temper by the balky machine.--New London Day.
 1T you ind corpse or two on the public highway at any time. say in the witching hour of night" you may know that it is all right. Just move them out of the road so that the next auto that comes along will not get jolt by pumping over them, and then notify the coroner at your leisure. That's all. - Bridgeport Beryl F. Carol, republican, who has been elected governor of Iowa, has been for three terms state audi tor and member of the state sen- ! ate. He Is 4S years old, and has been active in politics since 1890. | He was bred on a farm and, like many other men who have become prominent in public life. he taught school for several years,--New Ha- ven Palladium.
 | The pay-as-you-enter cars possess other advantages besides that of se- curing fares which are ordinarily lost to the company. It is reported | that the introduction of this type on | the Chicago City railway has reduced the number of fatal accidents by over l6 per cent. It has also re- | duced the number of less serious ac cidents due to getting on and off the l car.-Norwich Record.
 Atlanta. Ga. is experiencing ! notable uprising of it's more substan- | tial citizens to rescue the mayors office from the low estate into which it has lately fallen. A great gather ! ing of citizens without regard to party has forced the nomination ups 1 on Robert F. Maddox, one of the leading business men. He will now run as a citizens candidate against | the notorious Mayor Woodward, who has lately been more public than ever in his moral lapses-New Bed ford Standard.
 The reelection of President Comp CTS of the American Federation of Labor. with but one dissenting voice, is not only an earned compliment but also an endorsement of his course in the late presidential cam paign. Republican prophecies which were born of wish rather than of reliable information, that the Feder- ation would reject his candidacy prove to have been unfounded. Nor did President Roosevelt's omission of his name from the list of those in- vited to that labor dinner at the white house exercise evidently de- sired and intended influence upon the convention. Such manifestations of disfavor might be effective in some European countries, but not here.-Bridgeport Farmer
 The Standard Oil company is made up of an astute lot. Here was John D. Rockefeller, the head of that gi- gantic corporation, on the witness stand for two or three days telling ] inquisitor Frank. B. Kellogg practi- cally nothing and explaining at the l close of each session how to live so as to insure longevity, and now comes John D. Archbold, another Standard leader, with the announce ment that the constant use of buck wheat cakes and sausages have brought him good health. It looks as if the two Johns are treating this dissolution proceeding with great deal of levity. Archbold says that rebates are good thing and that they should never have been prohib- ited by law as they have been instru- mental in decreasing the price of oil. New Britain Herald.
