NO REGRETS

VIZ HEN Mayor Gaynor lay on what
w 1t was feared by a sympathetic
nation might be his deathbed,
and the press Of all parties and sects
was paying ardent tributes to his worth
as q man and official, the papers of
William r. Hearst, whose influence in
famed the mind Of the weak Gallagher
and nerved his hand to fire the bullets,
were silent. Now that Judge Gaynor
is recovered and has written in pri-
vate letter to his sister the belief that
the Hearst attacks on him led to the
crime, Hearst has broken silence.
In a long statement to his papers,
cabled from Europe, he again de-
nounces the mayor and says in sub
stance that he will continue his at
tacks. If there are any more crack
Drained Gallaghers or Czolgoszcs walt
ing for Indictment. he will give 1t to
them, and Gaynor can't stop him. The
Hearstian method of criticism and de-
nunciation is personal, vindictive, cruel
and unfair, even in cases where there
Is absolute proof OF the victims inno-
cence of a charge, as was the case
with respect to several OF its charges
against the mayor.
Mr.. Gaynor therefore knows what to
expect, and other conscientious officials
who will not submit to Hearst's dicta-
ton or get In his political pathway
also know what to expect. He has no
regrets, no purpose to be anything but
the vain, hypocritlcal, INSCRIPTIONS
exploiter Of himself and foe Of all de-
cency In public office and in Journal
ism, the same pander to weak and
degenerate minds.
Mr.. Hearst, however, cannot escape
the ignominy Of the fact that 1t is his
eminence to have been pilloried not
only by the mayor of Americas great
est city, but a president Of the United
States and a great secretary Of state
as the direct cause of two of the great
est crimes in our history In his first
message to congress in December, 1901,
Roosevelt denounced Hearst as "the
deliberate demagogue and exploiter of
sensaticnalism." The meaning and ap-
plication Of these words were explained
by Secretary Root in his speech at
Utica, N. Y, In November, 1906, when
he said:
I say, by the presidents author
ity, that in penning these words,
with the horror Of President Nc
Kinleys murder fresh before him,
he had Mr.. Hearst specifically in
his mind
And 1 say, by his authority. that
what he thought of Mr.. Hearst then
he thinks OF Mr.. Hearst now.
If the law or a strangely inert public
sentiment does not sooner attend to
Hearst's case. history will; and MY.
Hearst is welcome to the prspect.

SECONDHAND SMOKING

Editor Herald: Do those who favor
smoking on the street cars realize that
one cannot smoke on the street or
cars not to mention other places
without compelling others to smoke
with them. If a smoker were to see
a man seize a woman and thrust
cigar into her mouth and force her to
take a few whiffs he would feel like
killing the man. Yet this same smok-
er probably compels ten women day
to share his cigar with him, and they
have to take the smoke secondhand
after 1t has passed through his breath
ing apparatus. When some inventor
enables the smoker to consume his own
smoke it will be time to talk of his
right to smoke on the cars. When the
smokers had the rear of the car it
was not quite so bad, though they
constantly passed through the front
with cigars smoking in their hands or
their mouths; but now, with the smok-
ers in front, there is no escape, the
whole car Is foul. Smokers have no
idea what they cause the rest of us to
suffer or they could not be so unjust.

BENEFcENcE EXTENDED
 THE ROBIN.

It is questionable if in all her ben efactions Mrs. Russell Sage pleased more people than in that little gift of S15.00O to the National Association of Audubon societies for the protec- tien of robin ed-breast at the south where millions are slaughtered every year to serve in cheap restaurants and to sell as cheap food, well as for sport It is a fact that there is no more useful bird in this hemisphere, the northern portion of it especially. It comes early and stays late. It is bleNt with a voracious appetite, which it employs upon the pests of vegeta- ble life. It is the farmers best friend, and strawberries he can well afford it. It is the most dependable of our songsters, and if its note lacks the brilliancy of a few of it's northern ri- vals, it is yet always sweet and always welcome.
 It is surprising that the people of the south place such little value upon this merry, helpful song-bird. It is good news that the state of Louisiana, where a million robins were slaughter ed in a single year recently, has come to her senses, and bS law forbidden any such wanton destruction in the future; and it is to be hoped that Ken lucky, where the dead birds are mar keted for ten cents a dozen, will fol- low Louisiana's example.
 The robin is worth preserving in all parts of the country.

A NATIVE OF CONNECTICUT.

The Meriden Journal calls attention to the fact that Charles K. Hamilton is a New Britain boy, fact. in which the entire state should be interested
 MT. Hamiltons flight on Monday from New York to Philadelphia and return was the greatest flight ever made in this country, and gives him rank with Curtiss. Rolls and Paulhan. and he will figure with them in the great flights made in this country dur ing the coming season.
 Commenting upon Hamilton's ac- complishment, the Ansonia Sentinel says:
 Five years ago. little man was try ing to make a thing of this kind lift its own weight and keep an eoufIf . brium. Today, it is made to lift not only it's own weight, but to carry one or two men as desired, to run at high or low attitudes, cut circles. and ston al will and on the spot designated. The advance has been remarkable. dnd it is a satisfaction to know that Connecticut genius is lending a hand to it."
 It now looks as if in the matter of speed aeroplaning will excel all other methods of travel when conditions are right.
 What Paulhan and Rolls and Cur tiss and Hamilton have accomplished. indicate that 1910 is going to be a great year so far as air-navigat ton is concerned and more is going to be learned and accomplished than in ang year since man dreamed of flights as a possibility.

Postoffice Txrannies.

The house of representatives has passed a bill admitting the periodicals of benevolent and fraterna1 societies, institutions of learning. trades unions and professional organizations to the second class mail.
 The poStoffice department maintains a solicitor whose task in recent years has been largely one of inventing and promoting little tyrannies in the pos tai service A ade-union paper in this city was ordered from the second class mail because the subscription payments did not come from individ- uaI subscribers but from the organ izations making up the Central Labor union. The postoffice also forbids the sending of papers to subscribers more than three months in arrears. What is 1t to the government what matter of subscription list is made up2 Why should the postmasters be troubled whether the newspa per gets it's dues paid promptly or not?
 The house of representatives did the right thing by making it impossible for the service to continue one form of bullying. But the house ought to go farther. It ought to start the ma chinery for recognizing the postoffice department upon lines of good busi- ness and common SenSe.-Toledo Blade

National Musical Instrunents

A New York man thinks this coun- try needs a national musical instru ment It has a national emblem and a national game. but 1t possesses no officially recognized instrument upon which to express it's patriotic impuls- es. The New York man says the vio- lin is too difficult for general use. He adds that the piano is too expensive, while brass and tube instruments are not fitted by their strident qualities for home use The man finally tells us that the zither is the instrument he would suggest, because it can be played-as he expresses it-in any apartment. tenement, cottage, camp or dugout. No doubt this is true with mild limitations, but a good many peo- pie will be inclined to regard the zither as a slightly twangy instrument of limited resources, and utterly incapa- ble of giving voice to those soaring demands that a truly loyal noise pro- ducer may be called upon to fill.
 When 1t comes to selecting an in- strument that Is well within the grasp of the most limited performer there is nothing like the bass drum. But a bass drum would prove objectionable in both Riverside palaces and liar lem flats, and would be entirely out of place in an average dugout. Nev- ertheIess, for nobility of tone and dig nifty of expression the bass drum has the zither badly frazzled.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

A Busy District Attorney.

The recently announced decision of District Attorney J. J. Higgins of Mid dlesex county that he will not be a candidate for attorney general next fall was great disappointment to a number of his friends who are ambi- tious for his advancement. MT. Hig- gins will be a candidate for re-elec- tiOn.
 At the end of this month MT. Hig- gins will have completed 2 1-2 years as district attorney. During this ser vice he has been confronted with 27 murder cases. Twenty of these cases were disposed of on pleas of second or third degrees. Six cases have been tried. In these Chester S. Jordan and Napoleon Rivet were convicted of murder in the first degree. Two were convicted of murder in the second de- gree and one of manslaughter. James E. Harmon, charged with the murder of Maud Hartley of SomerviIls, changed his plea of not guilty to guilty of mur- der in the second degree after all the evidence of both sides was in. Mir. Higgins has not lost single case that he has personally tried, and has had but four greements--Boston Rec ord.

HABIT AND PERIL.

The cigarette smokers viii not ad- init that the habit has in any way affected their well being as individuals or increased the perils of life for them but Chief Croker of the New York fire department cries out against the addition of cigarette smokers to the fire department. This is the way he filed his protest:
 There was a panic in that fire (June 30) and I want it known. A majority of the men fighting that fire were young civil service fremen When they got into the thick of the smoke, their lungs couldn't stand the strain They got frightened, dropped the hose and ran It wasn't much of a fire at that. I want some men with brains. yes; but I want all of them with lungs. The cigarette smoking, weak-lunged, undersized, civil service fremen have been demoralizing the department for the last twenty-six years, ever since the civil service com mission began to pass on applicants" ]"
 There appears to be no reason why weak-Iunged cigarette smokers should be accepted in the fire service any where. There are plenty of good hab- ited, physically strong men who would be glad of just such appointments. which should be made on merit, not because of favoritism.

When Farmers Get Together.

The farmers have won a distinct victory in their controversy with at least one of the contracting firms and the others are likely to follow. The public probably has little realization of the actual danger with which it was threatened had this strike been prolonged May and June are the months of growing grass, when the milk supply is ordinarily abundant
 Had a dry summer come on, like that of the last two years. the farmers would. have been in a very strong position, and the shortage of milk might have proved even more distress ing than that of coal during the strike
 The situation could not have been re- lieved as in that case by importa- tion from abroad or by much use of substitutes. While the public is thus relieved of one danger. the dsmonstra- ton of what the farmers can do by united action along trade union lines is to considerable degree disqAet- ing. Why can they not push the price
