TELL COMMISSIONERS THAT JIM
 JACQUES PLACE IS SUITABLE
 TO BE A SALOON-wOULD-B
 SUCCESSOR TO JACQUES SEW
 ERAL TIMES ARRESTED.
 Two former mayors of the city of Bridgeport, appeared before the Coun- ty Commissioners yesterday after noon, to testify that the place formerly conducted by Jim Jacques is ,"suita- ble" to be a saloon. These were Hugh Sterling and H. H. Pyle, whose places Of business are adjacent to the prem- ises operated by Jacques. The opposition to the license is con- ducted by the Law Enforcement League through Judge F. Nicholson, its counsel. Jacques is serving time in jail. William Hart, the applicant, was for some time manager for place Under examination he said the balance due Jacques on the purchase was I.500. It appeared that Hart has been arrested and convicted upon a number of occasions of a number of offenses- Samuel W. Gledhill and John F. Murphy, who do business near Jacques place, appeared in favor of the application.
 The witnesses for the Law Enforce ment league were Patrolman Daniel J. Weston, Police Sergeants Phil Blans- held, Bert Hazel and Officers Beamer and Hall.
 They testified that Jacques place was a brothel. Attorney Paul Chap man was called for the purpose of offering the long list of Jacques ar rests~

Burning of the vanities.

Savanarolo once marked his strong condemnation of luxury by collecting . large number of articles which he re garded as vanities during the carnival to be burnt in the Piazza della Signoria, Florence, on Shrove Tuesday, 1497. In this burning of the vanities" were in- cluded fancy costumes, carnival masks, false hair and rouge pots, cards and dice boxes, books and pictures, to- gether with casts and valuable sculp- lures of questionable character. Built up into a pyramid of seven stages the seven deadly sins-the pile was burnt by lighting fagots placed in the center, while children standing round sang hymns before the assembled crowds.

Tides on the Great Lakes.

In theory there must be lunar tides on the great lakes, although they may be too small to be detected in bodies of water so much more affected by winds and by differences in barometric pres sure. This latter influence is so potent that in Lake Michigan it sometimes causes disturbances resembling tidal waves when the surface of the water Is otherwise quite calm.

Ostracism from Athens was the

from the American national capital Is
cruel and unusual punishment for

to be too fair a Judge to suit these

Although there has been in the last
few years a considerable increase in
freight rates, it is announced that
there will be another and radical
increase by the first of the year, on
the ground that the railroads are not
getting enough returns on their
investment. The country has
developed so enormously that the
watered stock issued in past years
now represents in many cases actual
value, the value of the property hav-
ing increased with the increase in
commerce and industry, which is an
evidence of how greatly the wealth of
the country has grown. The railroads
had issued stock out of all proportion
to values invested, and the country
growth has squeezed the water out of
the stock, paradoxically speaking, by
making certain railroads SO valuable
as dividend earners that all the stock
now represents real value. There was
for several years such popular indigna-
ton over the attempt to charge all
that the tariff would bear, that
legislation hostile to railroads was
enacted in many states, and still more
drastic measures were threatened.
Urging that the panic of 1907 was
caused by adverse legislation, the
result of Organism and Rooseveltism,
the companies and their allied in
terests created a suspicion in the
minds of many that perhaps after all
the legislatures had gone too far, that
in correcting abuses the knife had
been thrust too deep, and as a con-
sequence that commerce in general
was being injured The result was
lull and reaction. The people desired
fair play for the corporations as well
as for the common man. Let us get
together, was the cry, suppress the
agitator, and see whether there cam
not be square deal all around. The
long suffering and patient people were
willing enough How have they been
repaidf By exaction after exaction,
by increase on increase, and now
threatened by an increase greater
than ever. The result shows how
greed runs away with good business
Judgment. Instead of being satisfied
with the dividends which haveN made
so many railroad obligations among
+ the highest grade securities in the
world, an additional burden is to be
laid on the shoulders of the people, in
order to swell the Golfers of q few
inmates and enable them to more
easily realize their plans for railroad
monopoly. The short.sigh tedness Of
the magnates in putting an extra tax
on the thuft Of the people is likely to|
result in legislation more radical than
| any yet proposed. Every time the,
railroads squeeze the people they are
making arguments for government
Iownership. Sowing the wind. they
