GETTING A MOVE ON.

Waterbury has a hustling way for
tho protection Of her elms which ought
to be contagious. When one comes TO
think Of Il, It is . pity that some good
things do not become. as contagious
as the smallpox, but they are usually
slower than cold molasses.
Waterbury has already declared war
upon the elm tree beetles, and has
made q move. The park superintend-
ent is to purchase a spraying machine
which will be capable Of sending the
fluid into the topmost stories Of the
elma, so that every leaf may be COW
cred with the solution and the advance
OF the pest retarded.
The park superintendent points out
that ideal results cannot be expected
unless owners Of private property will
aid in the crusade. If all the trees
under the jurisdiction of the city were
attended to but no attention given to
those on private lands, no good could
be accomplished, for the work OF the
beetles is so insidious that the war
fare waged against them must be
general
This Is moving in good form. The
authorities lead In the good work and
invite the private citizens to follow
good example. While IN other cities
ths private citizens have led and the
authorities have pretended to follow,
sea The Bulletin likes and ccmmends
the Waterbury way.

THE BEST OF EVIDENCE.

The best of evidence that a public
official is Of value to the people ap-
pears in the enemies he has made, not
because he would make enemies. but
because men OF positive natures and
selfish aims cannot abide the public
man who stands for law and for right
eousness.
State Highway Commissioner Mac
donald really does not need any de-
tense from his friends because OF the
assaults Of his critics. His work Ia
his defense and his protection. The
New Haven Leader. in its remarks up
on the criticisms Of the Hartford cor
respondent Of the Springfield Repub-
lican. says:
BE patient and fair. Give the
highway commissioner a chance for his
life and do not expect or require Inn
possible things of him.
He has made Connecticut the lead
ing good roads state OF the union. and
he has kept the cost Of these improve
ments at the lowest minimum rate eG-
tablished by any successful commits
sioner in the country"
That the state highway commission
er needs subordinate assistants there is
no doubt; and the legislature should
see that he has adequate assistance
in a work which has called forth Mr..
Macdonald's best energies, and given
him international repute as well as
Connecticut a high place in the galaxy
OF progressive states. Commissioner
Macdonald should be used right.

TIVE MAN WITH THE FIsHPoLE.

The man with the fshpole will be
cut whipping the brooks for trout Just
as he has been doing hereabouts for
two centuries, but with less and less
show OF success. An open winter IS
not a precursor Of marked success to
the trout fisherman because the brooks
are teeDing with refuse from the hills
and the ash find ample food.
But the character Of the season is
not accountable for the dearth Of fish
or the ill-luck OF the anglers. As the
New Haven Palladium very wen says:
The trouble Is not with the fisher
men, nor is the characteristic shyness
Of the trout responsible for the poor
catches; II IN because the trout are
passing-passing because progress and
extended civilization are overwhelm-
ing them. II IL the same with our
game birds. our trailing arbutus. the
most shy and delicate Of our wild
flowers, and It was the same with the
deer until the law raised q restraining
hand before the sportamen. Now let
US strive to save our trout before It
Is too late"
The price Of having things Is the
care Of them; hence this is good and
timely advice. Some day few close
years will be given to the trout in the
streams to multiply so that the sport
may be rehabilitsted and the early
fisherman Will be able to go out and
catch something besides a cold.

BATTLEsHIP REPAIRING,

The return Of Admiral Sperry's
world-encircling feet of battleships
and cruisers and the necessity for an
overhauling and the return Of a part
Of the fleet to the Pacific, has shown
that we need a great central plant
with big drydocks where quick repairs
can be made.
In repairing these ships the feet has
had to be Feparated and now the ships
to be overhauled are distributed as fol-
lows: At the New York navy yard
there are six Of the fleet; at the Bos-
ton navy yard there are four; at the
Philadelphia yard there are Ave; at
the Norfolk yard there are three; at
the Portsmouth yard there Is one.
None Of the fleet were ordered to
the Charleston, Pensacola or New Or
leans yards because they are not equal
to the task The Milwaukee journal,
criticising this state of things, says:
1T has been publicly charged that
the dock and repair facilities on the
Atlantic coast are no better than they
are on the Pacific Il. G.. no good at
alb and utterly inadequate to meet
such an emergency as the arrival of a
fleet of crippled ships.
The people OF the United States
have been paying some hundreds Of
millions Of dollars for a navy. We
wanted navy so big and so powerful
that no nation would dare quarrel with
US on the seas. And Uncle Sans
purse opened and the gold flowed out
to buy such a navy. Now we hear
that the senate naval ring bought the
navy at pie counter and our naval
establishment has, therefore, sort Of
a minced or custard effect"
There are too many useless navy
yards and too much political graft con-
nected Herewith. Governor Lilley is
silenced but the charges he made will
not down because they were founded
upon facts.
