BUSINESS MEN
 FIND ONE DODGER.

The Hartford Courant published last week an article which in effect criti- cized the action of the State Business Mems Association in constructing a bill creating a public utilities. commis- fen. and asking the opinions of pros pective candidates thereupon, and in tirnated that candidates might dodge the question by pleading that the as- sociation's action was too much like dictation and also infallibiltty. It also pictured the association as carrying a club in one hand and a bill in the other
 Several newspapers. including the Farmer, commented upon the Cour- ants article. the several comments be- ing now interpreted by the Courant as criticisms. The association republished these comments, to which acton the Courant practically takes exception by raising two points. viz. that the asso- citation should have issued with them its article to which they referred, and a certain article in which Normand F. Allen explained that it was principles and not details for which the associa- ton stood. and that the association should ''pay the postage on what it sends out.''
 We do not find in the Courant's s later article any actual reply to the comments upon it's original article, unless the plea that the Courant "has been a sincere advocate of intelligent regulation of public-service corpora tions', be considered as such.
 With regard to the natural and per- haps anticipated effect of the Cour- ants "club-in-one-hand- and -bill-in-t the other'' article. one illustration may be found in the reply to the associations s letter of Hon.. W. H. Hall of Willing Ion, mentioned as a possible candidate sor Comptroller on the Republican ticket: "At this time I am unwilling to commit myself. Your letter, in my opinion, has a rather coercive tenor"
 MT. Hall evidently interpreted the Courant's intimation as advice to dodge the associations question. The Business Men may with apparent safety class him as opposed to the creation of a properly constructed and adequately endowed public utilities commission.

WORLDS STRONGEST
 WOMAN COMING TO TOWN
Ada Bell Edwards, tke Australian
 Amazon With Rig CircuS


 Ada Bell Edwards, known as the Australian AmaZon," and undoubt- edly the strongest woman in the world. will be seen in Bridgeport on Wednesday, July 27, with the Great Adam Forepaugh and Sells Brothers Big United Shows.
 This wonderful woman can best be described by explaining few of her accomplishments. She can lift 300 pound dumbbell above her head with the use of but one hand She can set her teeth, into a leather strap. fastened to a barrel of water, and lift the whole thing solely by the strength of her jaws and her back. She can bend silver dollars with her fingers. She can take spike in her hand and plunge it through two-inch board
 The acrobatic features of this show are all new to this country. Besides Miss Edwards there are many others equally skillful in other directions. On the long list of this class of enter tainers there is not one old name Every great troupe and family from the amphitheaterS of Europe and Asia have been secured for this years reorganized show. For instance, there is the Karl Handley troupe, the eel ebrated Avalon company, the Paul Alaarez trio, the Hines-Kimball fam fly and the Pinchelottes, all names that for many seasons have been set in bold tyte in the amusement ads of Europe.
 Karl Handley and his company are the greatest equilibristic hand bal ancers in the world; the Hines-Kim- balls are champion acrobats in Eu- rope; the Pinchelottes are the high est paid performers that ever came to this country-and so on, through the long roll of honor, they are all :. ties. The riders, clowns, aerialists, riders and all the other various kinds of performers have been chosen with the same care exercised in the Selec- tion of the acrobats. Among the $50 artists, scarcely a score were ever seen in this country before this sea son. Novelty, bigness and splendor are the Keynote of this big show in everything it does It begins the day with the same parade that amazed the people of New York city. Its menagerie is al new, S1,OOO,000 hav- ing been spent in securing a collec- tion of 78O wild animals, hundreds of which have never been seen in any geological display in the past. At the head of this exhibit are more than half the elephants in America.
 All winter long the sound of the mallet and the ring of the hammer were heard night and day in the for Liverpool, where an army of artists and artisans labored to build the costly equipment the show is using this season. The extravagant lan- guage of the historians who tell of the splendors of ancient courts could not exaggerate the gorgeousness that will be witnessed when the show comes to Bridgeport. An entire new train of four sections, the combined length of which is more than one mile, will bring the organization to town,

The Litchfield Enquirer suggests that Congressman Hill be made Speaker of the House. It would be an excellent suggestion. if there were no obstacles in the way First. MT. Hill must be reelected to the House, which is by no means the anticipated certainty; then, his candidacy must carry the Republican House caucus which is very. very far from a cer- tainty.
 He is not an Insurgent; Speaker Cannon did not, in tariff-revision days. consider him sufficiently regular to be placed upon the conference commit tee. Besides. ''the West is in the sad dle' and strongly disinclined to seat any Eastern man in the Speaker S chair

LET THE GOOD WORK GO oN.r

Wall Street appears to be growing angry with the Interstate Commerce Commission. Most people will con clude therefrom that the commission must be doing good work Follow ing is a sample of Wall Street com ment upon the commission, taken from the weekly market letter of Watson, Alpers & Co.,:
 Who is running the railroads of this great United States? Is it the Pres ident of the company, chosen for his lifelong and tried ability in this par ticular line of work? Is it the Gen. eral Manager and Superintendent. most of whom have risen from the ranks of the railroad world? Is it the trained business man and financier in the various Boards of Directors? Is it the combination of all these who have proven to the world at large, as well as to the stockholders of their respective companies that they can conduct railroads on a practical and profitable basis, or is it the new-found methods of the politicians of the coun- try who have framed and are framing up laws to so hedge in and control the railroads that they must to all intents and purposes be operated by the United States authorities or by men appointed by the Government who are in no sense identified with railroad administration and subject to a thou sand and one outside influences?
 No one will, or can, deny that the railroad presidents. managers and di- rectors have profitably copducted their respective corporations. nor that they more especially. "the trained busi- ness man and financier'' in the several boards of directors-have put some of water in the total capitalization of the railroads. upon which practically fictitious capital. the people must pay interest and dividends in the form of advanced passenger fares and freight rates If the Interstate Commerce Commission is endeavoring to propor- ton rates to fair returns upon real capital, then it is indeed doing good work, work which is necessary to the welfare of the people and which will reduce the abnormally high cost of living
 Naturally Wall Street is annoyed, even to the degree of hot indignation. It doesn't like the threatened interrup- ton of the process of manufacturing multi -millionaires through stock-water ing. Such interference will lessen the amount of shares floating for specula- tive purposes and thus decrease the business of the Street.
 But the people will gain, if the com mission continues to do good work, and the losses sustained by Wall Street do not concern them. 'Let the good work go on"i

The fact that in the first year of the revised tariff the imports have in- creased by more than $200, ,000, GOO is being used as proof that the tariff revision was downward. Does the premise warrant the conclusion?
 Imports fell off very heavily during the money panic When that mone- tary disturbance ended, the tide of imports began naturally to rise, not

one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages, and
that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucuous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do
ing its work. The proprietors have so
