CHURCH MARKS
 ITS I50 YEARS
St. Peter's Cheshire Observes Anniversary With Whole Day of ExerciSes-BiShop Brew Ster Officiates

Celebrating its 150th anniversary in one of the worst rain storms Cheshire has had in years. St. Peters church, which has stood on the same site since its founding, a century and a half ago, was crowded by residents from early morning until the exercises were brought to a close late yesterday aft ernoon. The celebration was attended by representative churchmen of the State. Confirmation, which followed the opening of the days program. was conducted by the Rt. Rev. Chauncey B. Brewster, D. D., bishop of the dio- cese. This was one of the most im- pressive parts of the program. The close by an historical sermon delivered by the Rev. Samuel Hart, D. D., D. c. L., of the Berkeley Divinity School.
 A glowing tribute was paid to Chersire families by Rev. J. Freder- ick Sexton of St. James, Westville, one of the speakers of the afternoon. Rev. MT. Sexton spoke of Cheshire's wealth of good families, their good qualities carefully following out Bib- lical precepts, which have made them good Christians. In his address on ''The Relation of the School to the Church, Rt. Rev. Edwin s. Lines, D. D., bishop of Newark treated on some what similar lines. The bishop related some of his experiences in his early school life at Cheshire academy. He emphasized the great work of Cheshire school, which has turned out such men as Gideon Wells. Admiral Foote, and others. These men, said the bishop, were an honor to their country and helped to make the old Cheshire place of high rank.

ARE THEY HATEFUL DODGERS

The State Attorneys of Connecticut are rapidly gaining a reputation as "artful dodgers. When the Second vehtion and the 18th District Republi- can Senatorial scandals came up, the State Attorneys of New Haven and Fairfield counties promptly discovered that their former power of citing wit nesses into court for the procurement of evidence upon which to base prose- cutions for corrupt practices, had been quietly taken from them by the Leg islature of 1909, a most timely discov- cry which relieved them from the duty of lifting the lid'' When charges of the corruption of delegates to the Re publican State convention in the inter- est of Goodwin came up, the State Attorney of Hartford declared the evil dence insufficient, evidently because it was in the form of affidavits which are inadmissible under the court rules of procedure; he as evidently gave no weight to the fact that behind the affidavits stood their makers whose oral evidence in court could be had
  upon summons and would be admissi- ble
 All of these State Attorneys could have procured courts of inquest, had they so desired, which would have en- abled them to institute prosecution but their attention was evidently con- centrated so exclusively upon the ac- ton of the Legislature as a means of averting any lifting of the Hd'', that they overlooked or conveniently for got the statute authorizing "courts of inquest.
 Have these officials, or any one of them, exhausted their available means of promoting honesty in conventions caucuses. etc.? One of them is him. self candidate for office, unfortun- ately with Democratic endorsement and his title to the nomination is clouded by Q charge brought by a

PUBLIC OPINION
THE POVERTY OF THE

|
 REPUBLICAN PARTY Bridgeport is a big city and occu- pies large share in the activities of the State. She attracts a great deal of attention. In our own estimation we are, perhaps, all that we ought to be. But reputation is what others think of us. In order that our repu- tation should be high and irreproach- able we should at all times have men able and good to represent us before others, and we should have care for this. But. in selecting out of the party a candidate to represent in the Legislature, this big, progressive city, the Republican party has found itself so short of material that it has presented to us-not a man prominent in the discussions of the day. such as the Public Utilities bill, the Manufac- turers' Liability bill, the Initiative and Referendum, the choosing of a United States Senator,-not a man of educa- tion, not man prominent in the Bus mess Mems Association, which has done much to create public sentiment, not man up to date in matters of public hygiene,-but a man who has been already twice defeated, once at the polls, once at the conventions; a man of one idea which so much pos- sesses him that he is everywhere known as a crank, the very mention of whose name suggests the unbal- anced mind, a man with an axe to grind, a man who wants the election as representative primarily that he may further the purpose which is in him and by means of which he has made himself notorious.
 And the efforts he will make to carry out his purpose will check. if it does not block, legislation, so that the ses- sion may be unduly prolonged and wise measures be defeated He is likely to trade off his vote for any bill which comes up, for another member who could be thus induced to vote for his own scheme. so ardent is he for the accomplishment of his personal object And this man the Republicans put forth to represent our thriving, pros porous, modern city.
 When Brother Brown asks again if Bridgeport is at her best and how can she be improved, I would tell him by raising the standard of public men, selecting with the greatest care those who may be chosen to make our laws. I have always been a member of the Grand Old Party. but I cannot put up with such clap-trap work as that. I am ashamed for my party.

 Why was a duty of 105 per cent. placed on women's woolen dress goods, and at the same time, uncut diamonds allowed to, come in free Of duty?
 Why was the tariff bill drawn so as to increase the profits of the trusts and the cost of living to the people?
