Filed for Court Commissioner l,

William J. Archer, of this city, on
Monday filed for the republican
nomination for court commissioner
To date this fling is the only one
for the position, which is more of a
perfunctory Office than remun
erative one, and it is unlikely Mr.
Archer will have opposition.
Heretofore this Office, like all 9th
ers, has been held in Duluth, but
under the establishment of the
range court at th1s point it has be-
come a matter of interest to attor
neys to have such official resident
here. The duties of the position
embrace the signing of papers in
notice OF trial and other legal pro
ceedings in the absence of the die
trlct judge.

After Joy Riders.

A motion passed by unanimous
voice of the council Tuesday even
ing called for the police commits
sion to instruct the officers under
their control to strictly enforce the
ordinance regulating the speed of
automobiles within the city limits.
The provisions Of this ordinance
permit of a speed limit of eight
miles per hour, and perhaps no
ordinance has been more violated
since it's passage. But one arrest,
however, has been made under the
provisions of the law.
The police were also called upon
to again put on a working basis
the ordinance prohibiting the rid
ing of bicycles on sidewalks, which
is fast gaining state of inocuous
disuetude through frequent and
unmolested violations.

Such were the words of Ex-Presi-

Wednesday evening, words which
should be remembered by every
voter in every state and every con-
gressional district in the union.

able Clarence B. Miller made dur,
ing the last congressional cam

with unabated vim declared his op.
position to Joseph. Cannon for the
speakership, even going 90 far as
to state that he would vote against
Joe Cannon even though he should
be the only member>of the house of
representatives to do 80.
The voters will also remember
that the fret official vote cast by
the Honorable Clarence B. Miller
after assuming his oath OF Office
and the duties attendant thereon
was to vote for Joe Cannon for
speaker of the house.
We do not know that Ex. President
Roosevelt had the Honorable Clar-

from the Bureau Of Statistics that cot
ton is the largest item in the United

tries" The Washington Herald expresses
surprise to find in looking over the list
Of our ambassadors and ministers that
mot one OF them-certainly, no one-at
post Of the least Importance comes
from a State embraced within the old
lines Of the Southern Confederacy." Then
our contemporary adds that, Of course,
this is an oversight on the part Of the
President and on the part Of our able
and patriotic Secretary Of State. and

much and so brilliantly to our diplo-

Damascus a Garden City.

Robert Hichens, in the Century
Damascus is a garden city touched by
the great desert. Under its roses one
feels the sands. Beside its trembling
waters one dreams of the trembling mi
rage. The cry OF its muezzins seems 70
echo from its mosque towers TO that most
wonderful thing in nature which is God
without man." The breath Of the wastes
passes among the poplars as that Bed

Damascus one hears the two voices. And
when one looks from the sacred mountain
upon that city Of dream, Graded among
the woods, one sees far off Of the tawnv
beginnings of that other magic, which
looks out from the Bedouin's eyes. And
though perhaps with the pilgrims from
Samarkand one loves to rest beside the
fountains under the hedges of roses. one
is aware Of the other love- intercourse
with which has made Damascus an
earthly paradise for them and for Won.
The view of Damascus from the noun
tains where Mohammed made his great

Establishment of the Weather Bureau

The Weather Bureau. which has be-
como so important factor of the gov
eminent, particularly to the agricultural
interests, was established as recently as
February l. 1870. by order Of an act Of
Congress. For many years previous to
that date more or less was accomplished
along this line, which was found so use
ful and led up TO the action OF Congress.
It was as late as July l, 1891, that tho
bureau was reorganized under the De-
partment Of Agriculture.
But the system Of observation by voIun-
tary and unpaid observers goes back 10
the year lS49. when the Secretary Of the
Smithsonian Institution began to organize
its corps Of observers, indeed. one may
go back to the year 1917, when Josiah
Meigs issued his meteorological insruc-
lions to the United States Land ONCE.
and 1915, when Or. Lowell. Surgeon Cen
eral Of the United States army, issued
similar instructions to his officials.

Cupid'S Strange Behavior.

4 Connecticut mans sweetheart shot
him I'VE times on a Friday morning,
came back in the afternoon and slashed
his throat. returned early Saturday
morning TO heave a stone at him, and
then friend she brought along shot
the faithful admirer in the head. Still
his love was not quenched.
Unfortunately. the sequel Is lost to
history. But why concern ourselves with
prosaic facts when we can speculate on
the devotion shown? Here is a lesson
that should go far to disprove the sta
tistics of the divorce courts. Here is
an example Of love that should be an
inspiration TO poets. philosophers, psy-
biologists, and sufragettes.
The ardor Of a militant sunragette
cannot surpass the daring with which
the lady in question attacked the OBJ
ject Of her love or scOrn. Try as she
would, she could not dampen the ardor
Of the swain. He was not to be denied
the privilege Of signing for his sweet
.inamorata by any physical violence.
Connecticut love affairs as a rule do
not vary much from those in other
States. The cost of living is about the
same as in Massachusetts or Rhode
Island, the nutmegs from Hartford are
not any more wooden than those from
Providence, and the clocks made in
Waterbury and Meriden keep as good
time as those made outside the borders
ofs the New York adjunct.
Let Connecticut come forward with an
explanation. True love never did run
smooth, but the rocky roads of other
chimes and other days do not compare
with the episode here chronicled. Step
forward. We Hartford Courant. New
Haven Register, and other provincial
sheets, and set our minds at ease!
