THE DIGNITY
 OF THE CITY
(From Yesterdays Bridgeport Tele-
 gram)

CFrom Yesterdays Bridgeport Tele-
 gram)
 There are very few thoughtful citizens who fail to admit that the past year has been one of humi- iiation for Bridgeport. There has been room for honest differ ence of opinion upon most of the questions which have agitated the city and under ordinary circum- stances the disputes would have been soon forgotten. But the threats used against it in the mat ter of the harbor lines and when the widening of two or three cen have left a sting behind them which ought to rankle in the mem ory of any elf-reSpecting body of voters. The disposition to sacrifice the welfare of the greatest indus trial community in Connecticut at the bidding of a corporation was painful enough. especially when it was manifested by those who sought the suffrages of their fel- low citizens under pretence of safe guarding the interests of Bridge port. The manner of doing the thing was unhappily even worse than the thing itself. After all the Local Pride. the contempt with which the city and it's inhabitants were plainly regarded made an absurd anti-climax.
 It is clear in the light of subse- Quent events that some of the peo- pie who have been elected during the fast two years to various pulp lie offices obtained their places through false representations They did not even go through the form of paying the slightest regard to the wishes of their constituents and they failed to display the least resentment when the city was be- ing treated with open disresDect.
 There is no apology possible for all this, neither is there any re- paration All that remains is to see that those who did not fear to make Bridgeport ridiculous in or der to achieve their Aown ends should obtain no more opportuni- ties of repeating the performance. A corporation ridden city has no bright prospects and cannot expect faithful servants. If Bridgeport is ever to obtain efficient government, it must learn to assert itself and insist upon being the first consid- eration among those who are pledged to defend it's honor. Yhe voter who has failed to grasp the significance of the manifestations of &tbe last twelve months is dull enough to merit disfranchisement.

4sMoRE ALONG THE SAME LINE

The Standard confirms as ia logical conclusion'' the statement of the Post that it sees nothing but Lee," ana gievs among the reasons why he should be renominated, the alleged facts that some of his ''plans for inn proyement'' and thew ideas" Ssneed more time for development and dem onstration,'' and that "he has accom- plished much" and deserves the op- portunity to do more along the same line.''
 We do not know that this reference to the accomplishment of much" and the allegedly desirable opportunity ito do more along the same line," refers to the two most conspicuous features Of the Lee Administration, for the Standards endorsement is lamentably perhaps significantly, lacking in speci- fic details, possibly because our es- teemed Contemporary is upon record as somewhat opposed to the Leerposi- ton upon at least one of them. We refer to the harbor line and car barn questions, and are greatly surprised to learn that the Mayor should be giv- en an Opportunity to do more along the same line" It had not hereto fore been known that the railroad company hankered after more of our harbor area, or that the trolley corpo- ration desired to build another car barn at some point where extra tracks would cause congestion of vehicular traf1c or be dangerous to pedestrians. s.More along the same line" might leave only a narrow channel in the harbor, and even force pedestrians to use airships for comparative safety.
 The Farmer has heretofore stated that Mayor, Lee had earned a renom- ination, but not for the reasons given by the Standard. Our reason was that in whatever of good or evil he has done, he has but carried into effect, real though hidden, policies of his party.

Bryan's Daughter
 Refuses Big Offer

Denver. Oct. 9.-Mrs. Ruth Bryan Leavitt, the latest aspirant for Colo rado Congressional honors, has left for her fathers home at Lincoln, Neb. Just before starting she wired a re- fusaI of an offer from Chicago Lyceum bureau of a large sum of money for a series of lectures.
 Mrs. Leavitt has arranged to ac- company her parents. who are about to go to South America. as far as Cuba. She will go from Havana to Germany. where she will place her children in school. and will remain there until next May. She denies that she has any intention of being mar ried again. Man. she says. is a pls as ant affair. but not necessity. She hopes on her return to Colorado to find the now badly divided Demo- cratic Party united. She has been taken up by the Patterson wing, and if Democratic woman is to be nomi- mated the Mayer-Speer wing of the party will have it's candidate.
 Mrs. Leavitt relies upon her father to come here and reconcile the war ring factions. so that she may have a united party to back her in the Con- gressiona1 race.

PRICE OF SHOES
 ON THE INCREASE
Shortage in the Leather Supply Blamed
 for Contemplated Advance of 25 Cents a Pair.
UP DESPITE FREE HIDES

New York, Oct. g. "A great many people are wondering why it is, with the 15 per cent. tariff removed from hides by the Payne-Aldrich bill, that the price of shoes has not fallen correspondingly, or that the price of prepared hides, in stead of falling, has advanced. Ac- cording to NJ. s. Barnet, President of the Barnet Leather Company, and Ed itor of The Shoe and Leather Report CT, 150 Nassau Street, this advance is, brought about by no artificial causes. It is simply the result of great in crease in the demand. with a coinci- dent decrease in the supply.
 The advance has been tremendous, as all dealers admit-from ' to 20 per cent. above a year ago and from 20 to 52 per cent. above two years ago. The ultimate result to the shoe trade, it is believed, will be an increase in price from IS to 25 cents a pair, probably, in higher grades. The actual advance from 15 to 20 per cent This is what MT. Barnet has to say of it after three months careful observation in Europe:
 'The reason of the high prices in hides is that cattle are raised for con- sumption, and the demand for leather is constantly increasing; manufactur- CTS are constantly opening up new ex- port fields which take so much more leather out of the market. There is no prospect of lower prices in 1910.
 'The population of the world in creases much more rapidly than the raising of cattle; Japan and China and other countries with their enor- nous populations are wearing more shoes made of leather than at any pre- vious time. I found empty ware houses abroad where there should have been full ones and more buyers than sellers"
 Regarding the increased demand for leather in lines other than for shoes
 Editor Brown pointed to the quan- tity now used in automobiles as a
 striking example.
 'In the past three years,'' he said. "that industry has increased more than two-fold Each automobile takes for upholstering on the average of three complete steer hides; think of the difference in demand that one item makes.
 ."Then, too, you must have noticed 1 the sort of bags women carry now in place of the. old-fashioned pocketbook. Besides the demand for leather furni- ture has increased vastly, and that for fancy leather goods. burnt leather, Sc. I think the final result will be | the increase in price of shoes from 15 1 to 25 cents a pair; not more."

Col Robert o. Eaton, a prominent Republican, recently delivered an ad- dress before the Mems Club of the North Haven Congregational church, in which he defended and approved the third house" in explicit terms. He asserted that "the most powerful and effective lobbyists are exceptionally scrupulous and careful as to the char acter of the schemes which they will favor He personally knew, he said. s"of their refusing large offers of mon ey for retainers in many cases because they did not approve of the proposed legislation which they were asked to promote.' He added that "a politi- cian who expects to remain in the game. never consciously acts against the public interests or welfare" h. deed, he believes that the third house, has been 'of great benefit to the State and her citizens because it sfis constantly saving the general as- sembly from mistakes of greater or less magnitude"
 Col Eaton's zeal in this defence of the lobby engepders suspicion that he is conducting his own case. If his view is correct, why not abolish the General Assembly and delegate the

{ Gen. Wood denies emphatically the report that in the recent maneuvers of regulars and militia, the latter were subjected to exceptional and unneces- sary hardships. He also asserts that one of the invaluable lessons learned was that Eve haven't enough regulars or militiamen ready for mobilization to defend city against such an at tack as was made against Boston" This is practically an argument for large increase in the regular army. Many thinking men doubt the wisdom of such increase in these days when standardization of power in the Feder- al government has apparently been adopted as a settled policy and is pro- gressing steadily.

The late MT. Harriman's will, 1eav- ing his entire great estate to his wife, causes surprise in Europe where such a will would be a decided novelty. In England, MT. Hartman would, had he followed the precedents have left the bulk of his property to his eldest son s'to found family" as a few multi millionaires have done in this country, notably Commodore Vanderbilt and Jay Gould. Generally speaking, the status of women in Europe differs widely from that of women here. Bus mess wise,. theyeare placed on low CT plane.

News paper prices are advancing, and an official of the International Pa per CO, which controls so much of the supply as to be enabled to dictate prices. reports better prospects for fhe corporation than for several years. The explanation, as given by the Hart ford Courant, is that the tariff pre- pared by the House committee was so juggled regarding paper and pulp in the Senate that it fully justifies cheer ful prospects for the paper-makers." !"

MILD INDIAN SUMMER BRINGS
 OUT A, HEAVY FALL CROP.
 Freehold. N. J.. Oct. 9.-Balmy Oc- tober weather has brought strawberry festivals into fashion again and straw berry shortcake is a common dessert among the folks who have gardens of their own. The fruit common to June has made it's second appearance here for the year. Not a strawberry bed for miles around but has a cror. The berries have reached the mari ct in such numbers that they are selling at 10 cents a quart.
 The berries on the J. A. Haskell farm are larger than they were in June and are drawing fancy prices. Rice A. Broyn is also harvesting a gratify- ing crop of the fruit. which. he says, has a superior flavor to that of the early Summer. He is making a study of the peculiar situation and says he will make an effort to reproduce it next Fall.

A BRAVE BLACK MARE.
When Flung TO Death She ssvss
Herself and hsr Colt.

When Flung to Death She ssvss
Herself and hsr Colt.
A man of the name Of Walker,
Who lived in Mansfield, Cattaraugus
county, n. Y, about 1857, bought .
black mare in Canada. After hay
ing her few years he sold her to q
minister, who had her bred. When
her colt was about five months old
the minister emigrated to the west
and shipped the mare and colt at
Buffalo on a vessel for Chicago with
himself and family.
The boat encountered a terrific
gale soon after leaving Buffalo and
came near going to pieces. Every
thing that in any way was thought
to relieve the danger was thrown
overheard. Among the rest were
the mare and colt, with q number
of other horses. The boat finally
weathered the storm and arrived
safely at Chicago.
The minister was repaid for his
mare and colt. He wrote Mr.. Wall
ker about it and said, although he
received ample pay for the mare
and colt, it nearly broke his heart
when he saw them struggling in the
water, where they must shortly
drown in the waves Of old Lake
Erie.
Soon after this Mr.. Walker re-
ceived letter from the man of
whom he had bought the mare in
Canada, saying he was thunder
struck one morning to find the
black mare, with fine colt by her
.ide, standing by the old barn door.
How she got there was the puzzle.
Had Mr.. Walker sold her to some
one in Canada or how was it that
she came back home?
Finally the thing was explained.
The boat happened to be some
where near where the mare was
raised, and when she was thrown
overheard she must by some sense
have found out she was near her
old home, started that way and was
followed by her colt. The man said
he would never let her again be taxi
en- from the farm if he could help
it, but was willing to pay for her.
How it was at last settled | never
learned, but many old residents Of
Cattaraugus county will remember
the circumstance, which was consid.
cred remarkable happening.-Em
