PRESIDENT NELLENs CoNTEN
TON

The efforts Of President Mellen in
he discussion of the public utilities
bill with the representatives of the
Editorial Association Of Connecticut
appears simply to be prompted by
desire 70 have the safest plan adopted
IN the pursuit Of fair play for those
who control and those who patronize
the railroads That such a plan as
the one devised should be carried out
by men qualified by education and
raining to do things in a just and
busln ess-llke way, needs no argument;
neither does the statement that lack
Of prof cheney under such circumstan-
-es may produce unsatisfactory re-
suits for all concerned.
President Mellen appears to accept
the dictum that something must be
done b. the general assembly of 1911,
and his anxiety as the leading repre-
sentative Of the biggest corporation
IN the state is NOT that his business
NAV be excepted from the conditions
0f the law. as Judge Baldwin is in
eined to think it should be. but taat
fsinabIe to- adjust matters under the
law between the people and the pub
bee service corporations.
There is nothing unreasonable in his
request. and it is more than likely
that those who are pressing the en-
a-tmc0t Of the bin into law will rec
oeuize the wisdom Of making the
change suggested by President Mel
JON. from "A political commission to a

one or two artificial causes that in
given cases in our country tend to
make prices improperly high in ways
that it is possible that we can cure.
Il have no question:, the Colonel
continued but that sometimes big
combinations. big trusts, have raised
prices. No man in this country has
taken more effective action against
those big trusts, during the same
length of time, than Harry Stimson
did while he was district attorney in
New York. AS a result every big finan
cial corporation of the type that we
speak of a trust is now doing all it
can to back up Mr.. Dix and to oppose
Mr.. Stimson. If Harry Stimson We're
not menace to the big trust you
would not find every big trust-con-
trolled newspaper of New York city
against him. If Mr.. Dix was not want
ed in Office by the great corporations
which have more effect in raising the
prices of living than any other agency
of purely national, as distinguished
from International, significance, you
would not find them supporting Mr.
Dix as eagerly as they are supporting
him in this campa gn."

Accessories Count.

After all is said, it is the attention
to details, to the accessories that
makes or mars ones appearance.
Gloves are an important item about
which many do not concern themselves
sufficiently. A soiled glove looks as
bad as a soiled collar. yet no one would
think of wearing the latter, whereas
gloves that reek with dirt are worn
with the greatest disregard for hygiene
F'astidiouF women find the chamois
glove a delightful substitute for the
regular kid. as it can be washed when
soiled, wears as well as any other. and
is much more comfortable. Gloves
should be mended the moment they
begin to wear: in fact every garment
requires constant inspection to keen
it in good condition and always ready
for use.
