ven must see the wisdom of municipal ash collections, Just as now 1t sees the wisdom of municipal garbage collec- tons The logical way in which to make the change would be in both re- gards at once, The number of wag- ons, horses and men necessary to make both collections would be far either of the collections alone. The saving In the aggregate cost of remov-
 ing the ashes between such municipal system and system of private con tracts would be considerable. As for the health board, 1t would favor such a proposition, for as MT. Scranton says, Authorities are of the opinion that the average rubbish Is fully as great menace to health as the gar 5age,"
 There are many reasons to favor an lnclneratof system which VIII take care of garbage, ashes and refuse, The reduction plants. which are built only to do away with the garbage, invaria- bly, fail to destroy considerable part of It. even after extracting the greases and fertilizers and all the other by products. This Is quite as offensive, if less In quantity as the original, In addition such plants almost always give forth offensive odors. As for the lncinerators. the board of health has pointed out that they may be frequent ly found In the crowded districts in England, where they are not offensive at all Their residue. what there Is of it, may be used for filling in land. Little fuel is needed, other than what is in the ashes, so that the system is a cheap one. Frequently power and energy are produced that are of con siderable worth. Let 1t be both the collection of garbage and ashes, then, that is planned for. It is sure to come some time.

The Airsliip.

When our good ship speeds on her soaring flight,
 And long held fear outbraves, Or gently rolls on the billowy light Of atmospheric waves We Will sing song as we float along Of dreams come true at last. Of sea that's kissed by the cloud borne mist
 Of joyful antepast. For we labored long on the craft we steer
 Where plumelike mist-foam clings. And fashioned 1t well as we fought tho fear
 That only hope bad wings; And now we ride on the pneumotide That swiftly ebbs and flows, And we steer our ship where fog waves And Hi's Stormy pctrel goes. The invisible waves that wash our deck Will nll the leaks they find; From the dread of reef or of sunken
 wreck
 We're free as passing wind, And we spread our sail for the sea or
 gale,
 For sea and gale are one, And we ride abreast of the storm
 Kings crest
 And sail Co seek the sun

The political field Is q fruitful one. There are pums and cherries and huc- kleberries and other things, as well as lemons in it. It is also picturesque preserve with lakes and lilies But Colonel Osborn of New Haven, the once genial humorist harks back to child hood choice md climbs the wild apple tree, The result is the inevitable stom- achache. But even so the colonel Is not justified in holding Governor Lil- ley resonslble for his agony, Boutelle, not Llley, pointed that tree with it's bitter fruit and around which poison ivy cings, We decline to sympathize with the colonel in his woe. A man of his eXpel.ance should not have been fooled with such groueh- giving fruit

The Rald on LiIley.
tBrldgcport standard,)

We have Appreciated the attacks of tho New Haven Journal-C Courier upon MT. Lllley as an exhibition of extreme part'sanshlp and as displaying an ani- mus that cannot look fairly at the mat ter in question, but accepts the very worst that has been done or said against Mir. Lilley by the men exasper- ated at his charges, which were never refuled, and anxious to dseredit him to save their own reputations from sus- piclon. Such course by the New Ha- ven paper we have felt would be sure to arouse all the fighting blood in the Lilley party throughout the state, and to keep in mind the fact that. he had suffered at the hands of his enemies under circumstances suspicious for them and in n way that called for the most severe reproduction from hls friends, We believe that every paper in tEe state, not excepting the Journal Courier. joined in that reproduction, and In tho universal agreement that there had been TO fair trial of Mir. Llley's case. but an evident and unmis takable determination from the start to rule against him. and make him the scape- goat of whatever wrong might be dls- covered or Indicated

OUR CONTEMPORARIES.

We print on thls page of The Jour nal-Courler number of extracts from our esteemed Connecticut contempor- aries Even though they generally dis agree with the carefully considered at titude we have taken toward Mir. Lil- ley, not as republican but as a claimant to the actual governorship of the state, we do not want the least of them to believe that we are not willing and ready to give their views curren- cy in the columns of this newspaper. We should have preferred them to meet our objections to MT. Lilleys candi- dacy with statements showing his eli gibility, but it Is not for us 10 dictate in that connection. We prefer that our readers should be given at one time as comprehensive a view as can be con- structed of the controversy, Against them we pit, not The JournalCourier, but Mir Palmer of New London.
 John calvin Goddard of Salisbury, one of the cleanest men in the state of Connecticut and one of the most con siderate. has two impressive definitions of friend "A friend is the one who comes fin when the others have all gone" or: "A friend Is one who still loves you in spite of what you may have done" Either fits the condition of mind on our part towards our con- temporares. They have the same right to their opinion of Mir Lilleys capacity for public office that we have and we re- joice in their expression of It. We promise when that sad day comes. if 1t ever does, to be the friend to walk in when the others have all gone. or to love still no matter what errors have been committed in thoughtless mo- ments. We have enjoyed these editorial fumlnations more than MT. Lllley can possibly have done, who at mo- ments must have wished that among his admirers there was one to advocate rather than defend.
 There are of course pathetic sides to newspaper differences, sides and phases which would deject and depress If one let go of ones sense of hurhor. To be thought subsidized, to be accused, how ever mildly. of malice, to have 1t inti- mated that desire for notoriety Is greater than self-restraint, and finally to be called an ambitious dictator when the only possible beneficiary of the Lil- ! ley rejection could be the commonly | loved state of Conneotlcut--all of these things would be intolerable, if it were not for the sublime knowledge one has, that the exigencies of politics de- mand inexorably the sacrifice of that delightful and ever soothing comrade- ship, which will set in again when the disagreable storm has passed and each has done what he deems his duty to- wards his fellow man

THE REAL NH. TAFT.

Those who are anxious to know what kind of president William Howard Taft Is to make should read carefully the address he delivered before the lawyers association of Virginia. By no possible mental contortion can his views upon the laws delay be attributed to the policies of President Roosevelt It is a subject which the President would at once recognize the futility of examining.
 More or less of technical address prepared for the consideration of law yers by man who for eight or nine years sat upon the bench, it is never theless successful in carrying to the layman the gentleness of It's philosophy and the justice of its counsel The un- der dog, as litigation too frequently dls- closes him in the court room, appeals to the big heart of Mir Taft. He is not deceived as to the difficulties which be- set condition of things of long growth. He is no bold crusader who would ride rough shod over established usage, disturbing complicated interests and frightening innocent litigants, all for the sake of Illustrating the rich ness and warmth of his motives. He is a calm and rational man, who knowing what the evils and injustices are which too often oppress the fnancially weak plaintiff or defendant in court. points them out clearly. in tho knowledge that once understood their elimination can the sooner be achieved.
 In other words this finely balanced man wants as usual to do something for mankind to even opportunities more than they are evened; to bring the as surance to all that under American sys- tems of government, whether in one branch of government or an- other, they have q like chance to benefit and finally to re- move from human endeavor the com plicating obstacles to progress, which stubborn men and untoward conditions in toleraton have created. One turns to such a man from the hurly burly but sincere type with both relief and confidence. Here stands a man who has more than splendid motives to con- trol him: he has an innate love of method. One feels instinctlvely that given the chance which he will be given without doubt, MT Taft will de- vote himself intelligently, earnestly and aggresslvely to equalzing the burdens of life to the full extent of the law to permit or enforce 1t. With no illu- sions to distract him, with love of country to guide him and well bal anced mind to control him, MT. Taft has a work to perform.
 It is well that the lawyers of Virginia brought to MT. Taft this welcome op- portunity to completely reveal himself wholly apart from other influences.

Everybody agreed with the Spring field Board of Trade when 1t said that it was high time" that New England did something to conserve and develop it's resources along the lines of the na- tional conference of governors called at Washington by the President. Ev- erybody applauded Governor Guild of Massachusetts when he announced his intention of calling such a sectional conference together. But there ought to be some objection if the published report Is correct, which says that at the conference to be held at the Algon- quin club, Boston, September 14 all the deliberations will be of the most formal nature and that mo outsiders or neWspapermen will be admitted" If ever there have been subjects in which the New England public has been vi- tally interested, this is one. The more publicity in this matter the better. It is to be hoped that Governor Guild will reconsider the matter.
