be remedied by the use of trailers and
special cars.
They say that some cars coming to
town from the beach and Sunset dur
ing the rush hours could be run spe-
cial without stop until Sixth or Fifth
street. These cars could be operated
at intervals and the man or woman
working down town would be soon in
the habit of timing themselves to catch
them. The city is growing large enough
to demand this. 1t would not be any
great hardship for a person living at
Sunset to walk to the main depot and
when once they realized what comfort
followed in the wake of such service,
there would be no grumbling.
CITY RAPIDLY SPREADING
With the last few months there has
been a great growth of the city in the
outlying districts. and there is much
complaint from the new tracts about
car service. The residents of these dis
tricts are themselves agitating the
question of special cars, and assert
that If this were done time would be
considerably lessened, and that it would
help to build UP part of San Fran
cisco which would otherwise remain
idle.
There has been a great growth, too.
along the beach, and the residents of
what was once known as Carville are
loud in their demands for quicker serv-
ice.
Speed is the demand of the hour; and
1t is absurd, they say, for people who
live out of the heart of town to spend
half OF their lives in cars when by run
ming flyers much time could be saved.

DEATHS REDUCING
THE PENSION ROLL
Commissioner Warner Says
Civil War Veterans Are De-
creasing $500 a Month

Man Who Ever Filled the
Presidential Chair

rapidly from now on because Of the
many deaths.
This pension business is great
thing for the country, although many
people don't realize it. The money
comes out OF the cigars and the liquor
we consume and goes right into the
channels of trade. The money is
raised by what is virtually tax on
our vices.
Warner has figured prominently in
the affairs OF the republican party
and he has his own views Of Taft and
Roosevelt. He considers Roosevelt one
Of the greatest men in history, veri-
table steam engine for work. While
Taft has a more judicial bearing and is
free from the strenuous tendencies that

A FIGHT FOR EXISTENCE.

The opponents of taxed hides sde- clare that their fight is fight against the Beef trust, not only for them selves, but for the people. They aver that "the fight for free hides is a fight for existence on the part of the independent tanners" Ex-Governor Douglas predicts that If the duties on hides and leather are continued ten years longer, not only will the monop- oly of the tanning industry by the Beef trust be complete, but the boot and shoe industry will then be a part of the tariff fostered and tariff nour- ished Beef trust. Independent shoe manufacturers cannot pay 20 per cent. more for leather than will its trust competitors and live. The handicap is too great. Then there will be a monoply in the production of shoes, and, as soon as the independents are killed, the 25 per cent. duty on shoes will become effective and the prices of shoes in this country will be ad- vanced to 20 or 25 per cent. above for eign prices and, probably, above ex- port prices"
 It is alleged that this protection to hides will take $40, GOO, 900 a year from the people of the country and that it means a half-million annually from the pockets of the people of this state. Shoes are too dear today and the price should trend downward rather than upward.

THE TROUT AS A cANNIBAL

The trout is one of the gamiest and fiercest fresh-water fish for his inches. He is a convicted cannibal and doesn't mind If he Is. The Albany Argus tells a story of the stocking of a lake in the Adirondacks with several thousand small trout. The fry were all placed in the water last spring in one spot near a wharf. A day or two later a large trout was caught from the wharf and when opened was found to contain no fewer than one hundred and sev- enty-five of the baby trout.
 This Is a pretty good showing for tho rapacity of the lake trout and it shows what becomes of a large per cent. of the lake trout fry which are put into lakes before they know how to take care of themselves.
 There is no doubt of the rapacity of the entire trout family, and while they may not all have a taste for young ones 1t shows that the stocking of waters to be profitably done must be done with knowledge of the enc mics of the fry used as we'll as the ability of the little fish to recognize and escape from their enemies An exchange finds that the policy of planting fngerlings, as is done to a great extent in New Hampshire, has an evident advantage"

HEEL FILLED
After the Manner of Filling Tooth
 Unusual Operation.

Robert N. Chaffee, son of Mir. and Mrs. Frank B. Chaffee, of Meriden. has returned from the Baptist hospital in Boston, where he has been for the past four weeks. MT. Chaffee has had a somewhat unusual operation per formed on his heel.
 When he was a lad Mir. Chaffee in- iured his heel and a cavity formed in the bone. He studied civil engineer ing and worked at his profession for some time, but the trouble with his heel made 1t impossible for him to do the amount of walking necessary in his profession.
 MT. Chaffee gave up his profession and took a place with the Billings 6 Spencer company in Hartford, where he was in charge of a room. His trouble continued to grow worse until he was obliged to go to the hospital and submit to an operation.
 The operation consisted in cutting down to the bone. scraping the cavity and filling 1t with something in the method followed in filling a tooth. This it is believed. will prevent a spread of the trouble and Mir. Chaffee Will in a few weeks be able to resume business.

WHERE SENATOR LUTHER FAILS

The eminence of Senator Luther is admitted-he has no peer in brain power, perception, and the use of viz orous English in the senate-and still he has not the personal magnetism and tact to draw the type of men he is associated with in politics to him. He knows how to be square-deaiing republican, but he is totally incapa- Ible of being a place-desling partisan, and this is, no doubt, the reason he cannot carry great measures through the general assembly.
 The New Haven Journal Courier has clear vision when it says; The only possible explanation we can give of Senator Luther's disappointment is that the school of thought and action in which he has been bred, and which he doesn't know how to abandon, is the school which practical politicians view with increasing wonder. You cannot trade with man of Senator Luther's disposition, using the term trade in it's business sense. Trading is not in his line. He is an instruc- tor and the willing slave of funda- mental principles. We assume that it is utterly incomprehensibIe to him how the needs of one town or senatorial district are balanced off by the needs of another town or senatorial district, and a practical agreement reached by which each gets what it wants. It is equally incomprehensible, we take 1t, to his colleagues that he cannot let go of controlling principle which ought to control all towns and districts alike. If this is the fact, then it is easy to understand his sense of mishtness in public life, in spite of the fact that legislature of Luthers would be fine for Connecticut, if they could agree"

SUNDAY OBSERVANCE.

The letter of W. S. McIntire, chair man of the general committee on Sab bath observance in this state, has been widely read and more or less comment ed upon. The only criticism to be made upon the letter is that 1t charges to altens the faults of our own Chris tisn communities. It is nonsense to claim that the aliens are changing the observance of Sunday unless we &C., cord to these differently trained resi- dents an influence which greatly ex- ceeds that of the community in which they have settled. It is a fact that they do violate the Sunday laws which were established a century before their arrival, in the face of a community which professes to approve of them; and many of the people, among them not a few church members, find the open store and restaurant a convent ence, and all of the rest acquiesce, or if they disapprove in words, take no action for the better observance of the day.
 To charge the aliens with pervert- ing the American Sunday approaches too nearly the declaration that the tail wags the dog. Sunday. in this state has been evoluting from the old to the newer form for the past half-century, and it is changing be- cause the American people want it to. If there was a deep-seated objec- tion on the part of the people these aliens would not break the law be- cause it would be neither pleasant nor profitable for them to do so. If the American people believed in the law they would see that it was enforced.
 The aliens are not Europeanizing our Sunday only just so far as the cit- izens are willing that they should just as far as they find it pleasant and profitable.

MILL CONSTRUCTION IN NEW
 ENGLAND.

Nearly half century has elapsed since the close of the war and the commencement of the industrial com petition between the north and the south. when it was proclaimed that the cotton industry of the north was doomed, that an industrial war of this kind would prove more injurious to this section than the civil war.
 The experimental stage has been passed and the truth is revealed that the climate has more to do with the manufacture of fine cottons than was before imagined, and that the coast atmosphere of New England is more favorable for the production of fine work than any other. Tn this year of 1909, the new mill construction planned for New England is more than twice that projected for the entire south.
 The American Wool and Cotton Reporter, of Boston, places the new textile mill construction in New Eng land at Ss0,ooo,oOO for this year, es- timates the new construction through out the entire south at s25,000, 900. Evidently capitalists are not worried over New England's ability to con- tinue to hold her own.
