CIRCULATION
uEIp REPEAL THIS LAW.

There will be a hearing at Hartford
at 2 .. m. today for the purpose OF
urging the repeal and opposing the
amendment Of a law which was en-
acted with reference to the manufac-
ture of electricity in 1893.
The law is as follows:
NO person or corporation unless
acting under authority from the gen
eral assembly, shall in any city or
town Of this state whose population
exceeds $4,000, manufacture for sale
any electricity for the purpose Of light
ing or power, but the section shall not
prevent such manufacture for the pur-
poses Of the business, or for the use
Of the manufacturer, or for the sale
thereof to tenants in the same prem
ises where 1t is manufactured"
The men In whose interests this law
was enacted ask now to have 1t
Strengthened by an amendment to
prevent any citizen from buying cleo
tricity from a neighbor or any one
who can furnish 1t at a less price. The
whole thing should be wiped Off the
books.
Describing the effect Of this law, The
Courant says:
Eat present, II John Smith owns
several buildings adjacent or at least
within the same city block, he can set
up an engine and dynamo and furnish
the tenants Of all Of the buildings with
light and power. 1t Is nobody's bust
ness but theirs and his, If he does
this. He cannot cross a street nor
cross any other persons property
(without permission) unless he gets a
charter, but what he does with con-
sent Of all owners, especially If he
happens to own all the territory, he
has a perfect right to do. It is con-
ceivable that the occupants Of a city
square may all want to get heat, light
and power from a central plant in
their own square. To do this it would
not be necessary to cross a highway
or the property Of any person object
ing The idea Of stopping them be-
cause some local electric or gas plant
feared 1t might interfere with its bust
ness! II Is hoggishness immeasura-
BILE"
With reference to this same law the
New Haven Leader says:
There is such thing as grabbing
for more than you ought to get-grab-
bling for what belongs to somebody
else"
If you cannot go to Hartford, write
Senator Searls. chairman Of the ju.
dietary committee, Hartford, and urge
the repeal OF this law.
The constitutional rights Of every
citizen should be preserved.

MOI SHOWING uP WELL.

The Sugar trust has not only been
cheating the government but is now
charged with stealing millions Of gall
Ions Of water from the city Of New
York without paying penny. A 10
inch pipe connected with the city
mains has been supplying the trust
with stolen water for years; and, as is
customary with unprincipled and I'M
scrupulous managers, they at once
shift the responsibility upon the
shoulders of the workmen who did
their bidding. This stealing CT water
is common to all cities and the man.
ner of pleading ignorance and ire
sponsibility is in keeping with the old
sneak game. How does a wealthy COM
bine look after it has profted for
years by a dishonest transaction, and
divided the psoils, turning its en-
ployes heartlessly over to the authori-
ties for prosecution? It is held in law
in many cases that sthe employing
company is responsible for the acts
Of its employees; but these trusts
appear to be immune from RESPONSE
bility where others are held firmly to
it.

rHE PROPOSED EXPOSITION.

The idea of having a great exposi-
ton held in Boston in 1920 in COM
memoration of the landing of the Phi
grims in 1920, is not being met with
warm favor in different parts Of Mas
sachusetts or New England. There is
a very general feeling prevalent that
the country has been expositioned to
| death, and that as a means Of bleed
ing the government these great
schemes should be held up. For near
~ a generation the fever for exposi-
| lions has been on, and one great fail
ure only ends to be followed by an
other in the works. They have been
held in Philadelphia, Chicago, st.
Louis, Buffalo, jamestown, Portland,
Ore, and now one is about to open at
| Seattle. The New Bedford Standard,
referring to this movement, says:
Newspaper men are wearied by the
| flow OF publicity which has continued
with scarcely any cessation since the
; Chicago fair in 1898 began to be talked
| about. No sooner does fair approach
| its end than the promoters of another
| begin to waste postage stamps in the
attempt to interest editors IN their
4 project. And the remembrance is of
! long continuance Of dreary write
4 ups duplicated to no other paper in
your town. punctuated here and there
by the announcement that one more
( exposition management has gone into
bankruptcy. That is the way in which
/ the intimation Of another exposition
strikes the average editor in these
days; and however much respect he
may have for the Pilgrim Fathers, he
resents the prospects Of being bored
all the way between this time and
1920 with the manufactures of a new
worlds fair literary bureau"

WITH SILVER HAIR.

The elderly woman with gray hair
may make or mar her appearance to a
large extent by the hair adornments
she chooses.
Black is seldom a. good choice.
It dea6ens the luster and altogether
the contrast is unusually startling,
White, on the other hand. darkens
the silver tones and is likely to make
the hair look greenish yellow.
Silver Is the best, and side combs
with silver tops are most effective with
gray hair.
There are also the pearly gray
combs for hair that is on that shade
of gray.
For dressy occasions mows or flets
of silver gauze are charming.
More elaborate but equally becoming
are the big silver flowers and the
wreaths and garlands Of silver oak
leaves.
Rhinestones or diamonds, when set
in silver or platinum, are beautiful, but
gold is almost always unsuccessful.

A FIGHT OVER THE TARIFF
PROBABLE.

Under the leadership Of Senator AL
drich the Payne tariff bill has been
revised so that 1t is more unsatisfac-
tory than when it left the house; and
the protests in different parts Of the
country are so intense that they are
proving to be alarming to the mem
bers Of the house. An exchange from
the west, commenting upon the stu
alton, says:
I'm spite Of ford speech, in spite
of the discovery and sensational elifl-
nation Of Jokers' in the Payne bill
placed there through the cunning of
manufacturers more than by the in
fluence Of members Of the house COM
mittee on ways and means, the docu-
ment was sent to the senate in a
shape fairly satisfactory both to pro-
tectionists and the only
advocates. But the members of the
house have been home in the last two
or three weeks. They have had OPP
portunity to study at first hand the
opinions and the tempers of their con-
stitutents. 1t is reported in Wash
ington that many representatives who
have returned are extremely uneasy
over their political prospects. They
have learned things it least pleased
them to learn and they are now grid
ing themselves to make their last fight
for the schedules their districts desire
in order to save their political lives.
This can mean only that the confer
ence committee bill win not be passed
without yanking and wrenching."
There is little doubt that there is
going to be some excitement and a
period Of wrangling before the tariff
bill is passed. Massachusetts, feels
that her interests are being utterly
overlooked, and many other states are
disturbed by the disregard shown to
public opinion and local protests.
