EDWARD F.HALLEN

The candidacy of Hon. Edward F. HaIlen, whom the Democrats have nominated for judge of probate for the District of Bridgeport, needs no advocate among the electors who en- joy the privilege of, a personal ac- quaintance with the nominee. An eminent jurist, a brilliant orator, an unselfish and patriotic citizen, Attor- ney Hallen will poll not only the en- tire vote of his own party, but a splendid complimentary vote. from the Republican electors as 6 tribute to his worth and ability. Y Many years in public life have made the candidate one of the best known and most esteemed residents of the Bridgeport district. The towns of Monroe, Trumbull and Easton have given promise of a fiattering majority for Attorney Hallen, while in the city of Bridgeport he should receive such a vote as to effect his election by an inspiring majority.
 MT. Hallen has served the city Of Bridgeport for nearly two decades, continuously, as a member of the board of education, most of that period as it's secretary, and again he has devoted his time unselfishly to the often thankless task of serving as the head of the board of police MT. Hallen's election.

Cities Show Remarkable Growth.

Though the work of the thirteenth
population of comparatively few cities,
counties and states, the Bureau of the
Census has already made public fig
ures concerning enough localities to
indicate certain interesting trends in
the growth Of American population.
The bureau, is pushing the work rap
idly all along the line. but it is being
carried forward so uniformly as af-
fcrting all parts Of the country that,
although the end is close at hand,
complete returns have been made in
only ono state, and complete returns
from particular counties and cities in
only twenty three states.
What stands out first is, Of course,
the general increase in population all
over the country While this growth
is perhaps more striking in the Middle
West, or even in the Far West, the
East is little behind those sections.
Increa ases in city population rarely fall
below 20 per cent for the last ten years.
Often the increase is considerably in
excess of 30 per cent. Thus, Bridge
water, Conn, shows growth of 43.7
per cent in the last ten years, while
at the other end Of the country Sac
ramento has grown 52.8 per cent in
the same time. This growth has been
expected, but there will probably be
some surprise to find how far the
growth of the cities exceeds that OF
the rural districts. Here save in a
few localities, there is an increase. but
generally it is below 10 per cent. In
Nebraska, Seward and Buffalo coun-
ties, of 5000 and 10000 respectively
show practically no increase, while the
only other county recorded in the state
(Madison) shows an increase of about
1000 on first population Of 17,0C0
or about II per cent

Good Manners.

Refined and graceful manners are
worthy Of the most careful cultivation,
A true gentleman is gentle and true
at all times. That refinement which
behaves according to rule with un-
scrupulous exactness at courtly enter
tainments, but suffers its possessor to
act rudely toward the most obscure
neighbor or servant, is an artificial
grace which can be put on for the oc-
casion and laid aside at convenience.
Gentility which Is genuine is insep-
arabic from the personality. 1t has its
seat in the character. 1t beautifies the
entire being and shines with undimmed
luster under all circumstances.
