The importance of inc Judiciary

The people of Tennessee very sen sfbfy believe that the judiciary should not be hampered in any way by par tisan politics They have therefore elected an Independent judiciary ticket by an overwhelming vote. thereby de- fe4fing the political machines.
 The importance of this move cannot be overestiInated- If the majority of a state is not above suspicion from interference on the part of political influences its usefulness is ended
 The more the judiciary question is examined the more convinced every one will be that the safety of Ameri : can fnsntstfons depends on the se- lection of judges of unquestioned hon esfy and ability. The consequence will be that in every state the courts will be s<reng thsned by the selection of 51rfsts whose services to the country win be invaluable. for their decisions win be Yendsred without regard to the denkfhies of any political party.-Bos- ton Gfebe

HOW STATE EDITORS TALK.

Mayor Thayer of Norwich made the mistake of his campaign in neg lecting to bring his senatorial boom over to the reunion, Wednesday, and have it inflated. It was imitation day at the Rock.=New Haven Palladium. i! Mayor Thayer can inf1ate his own boom and have hot air left over- He did not need to lay out two dollars difference between inffating Mayor Thayer and infiating his boom might have been perilous to peace.-Bridge- port Standard.
 The laws delay is conspicuously Edward Everett of Brooklyn, who for ten years have ben litngating the question which should obtain the di- vorce from the other. It all turned on the legality of Mrs. Everett's previous husband. It has taken ten years. then, to decide that she is a bigamist. Waterbury. American
 The productivity of Mayor Thayer's funny bone is astonishing. Its re- sources are seemingly undiminished and its output is the same. It is very much like the farmers cider which he said was --godd enough, what there was of it. and enough of it, such as it was. .''<Bridgeport Standard.

 Having climbed to second place in the list of Connecticut cities, Bridge port is now credited with a. determin- .ation to- give New Haven a hustle for first place by the time the census of 1920 is due Bridgeport is pre- sumptious.

A BATHING BELLE.

She dons a bathing suit Of blue, And down the beach she goes With little giggles of delight To wet her dainty toes. She dabbles in the tiny pools. She wades along the sand, She races with the merry waves. And vows it's simply grand She lets the ripples of the surf Around her ankles play, And splashes in the pearly foam, And frolics with the spray She counts the silver sails that pass Against the distant sky And dances with the pillows Dright-- But keeps her powder dry

None of the Investigators with the ex-
ception Of j. c. Rennard, an electrical
engineer of the Fire Department, vent
ured an opinion on the exact cause of the
igniting Of the gas from the broken pipe.
He reported that in his opinion the ex-
plosion was caused by short circuiting
the third rail By some of the workmen
about the car which caused sparks from
the rail to ignite the gaa.
There We're plenty of persons to be
found in the neighborhood and at work

District Attorney Whitman said after
he had visited the scene of the explosion
that he did not think the exact cause

probably not before the debris has been
