Good Reports of Business-OVtlook
 Good-High Prices of Stocks.

Good Reports of Business-OVtlook
 Good-High Prices of Stocks.
 New York, Jan. 1.-The year closed with a feeling of optimism in all branches of business and with the fi- nancial district bright and cheerful in marked contrast to the corresponding week of last year when there were dire predictions of calamity in the business world and a haze of blue covering the Street that could be cut with knife.
 The week just closed saw number of high prices for the year made in the stock market; lew York Central on reports that E.. H. Hartman was to enter the board of directors advanc- ed sharply, Wisconsin Central on ru- mors of a change of control, perhaps the purchase of the road by the Ca nadian Pacific. was another: and Brunswick Dock, heretofore one of the dormant issues. displayed considerable strength on large buying orders from Holland and London. Wabash issues made still further advances as did Denver &. Rio Grande, the best of the Gould group.
 The average price of stocks reached point that showed gain of 38.31 points above the low figures of No vember, 1908. The average was 119.S0. InlS IS a pnoI1On0Ildl recovery, dS It has come almost without a reaction. Stocks are now on an average but 1856 points under the highest point touched in January 1906. This would seem to be a recovery sufficient to discount a great deal more business improvement than has actually taken place. Stocks may continue to advance for the time being as sentiment is a powerful fac tor, but those that buy at these prices may find that it will be a long time before they see profit on their pur chases. Many of the low price rail- roads are still good purchases for "the long pull'' but they should be bought with discrimination.
 Good reports come from all lines of business, so it is easy to see that the outlook for 1909 is all that it should be, and if crops are good in 1909 this country will enter upon a boom that will carry prices on the stock exchange eventually to the highest point on rec ord.
 The horrible earthquake in Sicily will have but little effect upon prices as the losses to the insurance compan- ies will not be very great, and while wealth was destroyed it was not the wealth of the new world. and although the loss of life places the catastrophe as probably the greatest in the history of the world, 1t is more a loss of life than a loss of dollars.
 The threat of trouble in Eastern Europe has passed and dauger of war appears to be remote. A war would have been a check to business there but a stimulus here; but wealth would have been destroyed and eventually this country would have been forced to help pay the bill, for a loss of wealth now in any country is event ually felt in some way by all coun- tries. However. all is well that ends well, and the year ends well enough, all things considered, and rarely has a new year come in with promises of good things so bright, as the promises that usher in 1909. May those prom ises bear the fruit of prosperity and may the thousands who hundred in 1908 revel in plenty in the new year.

HILL FOR SENATOR.
How One Member of the Legislature
 Views Things

How One Member of the Legislature
 Views Things.
 To the Editor of The Courant:
 Any man who votes for MT. Brande- gee does so with his eyes wide open. The United States Senate is divided into two camps, and the line of cleav- age between them is to1erab1y distinct. One camp has stood with the inter ests'': the other has stood with the people. MT. Brandegee was elected to the Senate as young man. The fu- ture was his-an outlook fit to fire the imagination and awaken the sense of responsibility of any man with aspira- tions and ideals. He was no novice He had served three terms in the low CT House. He knew Washington. De- liberately he made his choice, and lin- ed up with the caba1 of senators-of whom Aldrich Foraker, Platt and Penrose are types-who have fought tooth and nails< secretly or openly, ev- cry measure of constructive reform that Theodore Roosevelt has advocat- ed. Then they fought the nomination of Secretary Taft. Sooner or later they will be found fighting his policies as well. Mark that!
 I have investigated this matter per- sOnally-frOm both sides. Everybody in Washington knows where MT. Bran degee stands. He has made his align
 
 them if he would. The hopeless thing about our junior senator is not pri- mari1y what he has done, or what he has failed to do; it is his unrnistakable instincts and tendencies-the way he is headed! If, reelected at this time he will probably serve the state for the next tWenty-four or thirty years. This is a serious matter. For what did the people of this state give MT. Taft 4,000 majority, if they did not want us to send men to Washington who would back him up? How do you think Hill and Brandegee would come out on a popular vote? Let us not mistake the issue. Brandegee is not on trial. Hill is not on trial. The state of Connecti- cut is not on tria1-she has rendered her verdict. It is the General Assem- bly, that is on trial-the mental and moral fiber of the men that make it up!
 It is evidently a part of the plan of campaign of MT. Brandegee's man. agers to claim that it is ''a1l over but the shouting" This is clever strategy and entirely legitimate. as politics go. It is a cordial invitation to all of us warning to the timid and fainthearted to keep of the grass and be good. Well, possibly it is "all over" I don't know. I only have my own vote. But unless I widely misconceive the tenn per and traditions of the stateaof Con- necticut, there are a great many mem bers of the incoming Assembl1, still unpled more than a hum 6red-who are doing some hard think ing on this senatorial question: and not making much talk about it. These men. and not the political press agents and claim makers will decide the issue

ods of getting money. Thieves have become cleverer every year and the de- tective force has had hard work to keep pace with the new methods in troduced among criminals as well as in every other branch of the worlds activities. So Captain Arnold and his three sergeants have been kept mighty
 busy all the time. The work they have done may be estimated in small degree by the fact that they have re- covered stolen property to the value of about $S,000 during the year. They have had numberless cases to look up and a large part of their successful work is never known to those outside of the department. They are entitled to much more cre6it than they receive. Persons who have lost their Valuables carelessness in leaving them about handy for thieves are indignant if the detective department does not return the stolen goods immediately. Such people should stop and think before they complain. The stolen property may be 100 miles from the city before the detectives are mo- Ufied of the loss. While it would be a nice and creditable thing to do the department could not with ten times it's present appropriation follow up every theft in the most effective man. ner If the city would furnish the money, a system could easily be ar ranged which would make it almost irnpc ssible for a thief to get away. Az to the prevention of theft it would be necessary to station an officer in every household to absolutely secure people against the results of their own careleSsneSS.
 One amusing feature of the reports of burglaries and theftS as they are reported to headquarters and from there to the newspapers. The loss on most any burglary can be divided by three to get somewhere near the actual value of the property taken. Almost everyone nowadays who possesses fine jewelry has it insured against theft. This fact operates to make people care less. Naturally the property is not insured for any less than it is worth and sometimes sit reaches value which would astonish the dealers who sold 1t originally.
 Take all in all the year has been most satisfactory one. The board or Police Commissioners has been active and willing to sustain every creditable move on the part of the force. Prose- cutting Attorney Delaney and Frank H. Wilder, his assistant. have furnish ed the authority needed by the depart ment at any time when it was asked for. Judge John S. Pullman and Dep- uty Judge Carl Foster have raised the grade of the City court from sort Of rough -and-ready, happy go-luc'Sy in stitution of punishment to dignified court where justice is dispensed with an unsparing hand but where mercy is always. welcomed and her suggeS- tions needed.

suddenly doomed Into view near some

driver. feeling himself guilty Of ex-

grunt of vexation. while visions Of 10

chuckling with glee at having escaped
