A pUsLIc UTILITIES slLL,

1t is expected that the judiciary
committee OF the legislature viii make
= report this week upon the public
utilities BILL over which there has been
and still is a wide difference Of opin-
ion.
1t seems the State Business Mems
association desires to have one com-
mission of capable men empowered to
guard the peoples welfare in relation
to public service and to put on restric-
tions where necessary
The committee would continue the
railroad commission to direct the af-
fairs of these corporations AMI create
q second commission to regulate all
other public service corpora tons.
The committee is not inclired to I'M
crease the power of the rail- Dad COM
mission, or to give as large or posi-
tive powers to the new commission as
the originators and hackers Of it think
they should.
AS far as over capitalization is con-
cerned, the question will be covered
by a general law to be framed, making
it a crime for the directors of any
corporation to issue watered stock.
1t is not an easy matter to get a
public utilities bill throug 4 lesisla-
ture in good FORM and tile fact that
the bill is to be reported and acted
upon may be regarded as progress
sive sign which means something bet
ter later on.

Republicans and thes>Neuro.

We do not relish the disintegration of
the republican party, signs of which
are a. clear as the stars in an uncloud-
ed sky. but we do like to think that
its discontinue, its sorrow and its
many defeats are the price of it's wick
ed desertion OF the 1oyalest element it
has ever claimed If the republican
party is to die-many be the seasons
before that time arrives-its sins of
omission and commission against black
republicans may well take 1t off.
1t is apparent to all who know his
tory and who but half observe that
discord sits on the party throne. and
that defeats are as common in its rec
ords as grass in spring. II its aban-
sion OF the Filipino are the underlying
causes of its evil days, why should we
not hope that it will overcome and as
sumo its old place as steward Of the
peoples cause2 The party has only
again to take up with vigor the cause
of the negro, a cause not unjust. and
cease depressing the Filipino, which it
has never done.
AS for Booker Washington. at. once
one of the great handiworks of the
party and the ablest Of republicans. he
might be invited into the wider service
of his country and his party, or picked
for a place on the national ticket An

Macdonald to Stay.

Highway Commissioner Macdonald
Is likely to direct the road making Of
the state for the next four years, and
The Courant IL confident that his con-
tnuance in Office il fer the best in
terests of all concerned. In one way
of looking at it, it's $1,000 job-and
then some. No one has ever intimated
that there was graft in the highway
commissioners Office, and, if that isn't
positive virtue in these days, name
one. The Times last evening COM
planned that he maintained a Large
salaried force" The trouble is that he
doesn't have help enough He is
handicapped in scores of ways by a
law that is lame and cratic and Gov
ernor Baldwin would have done far
more TO improve conditions il he had
used the Influence of his office to
change the law instead of the COM
missioner Macdonald is in the midst
or large work. which would be
handicapped BY his removal.
Tne senate apparently takes that
View of the case. Whether the gov
ernor VIII send in another appoint
ment today remains to be seen.
Whether he does or does not will prob
ably not matter. The republican mem
bers OF the senate have already put a
veto on the removal OF the present
commissioner That is pretty good
compliment to Mr.. Macdonald Hart

A Poor Method.

fairs that compels New Haven or Bris-

of people from other sections of the

care still less, to get their permission
or refusal to do the thing we wish to

assumption that the general assembly

GRAY HAIR MAKES
YOU LOOK OLD.
A Simple Remedy Brings Back the
Natural Color-Dandruff QuickI,
Removed.

How often one hears the expression,
she is gray and beginning to look
old" 1t is true that gray hair usually
denotes age and is always associated
with age. You never hear one referred
to as having gray hair and looking
young.
The hair is generally the index of
age If your hair is gray, you can't
blame your friends for referring to you
as looking old You can't retain a
youthful appearance if you allow your
hair to grow gray. Many persons of
middle age jeopardize their future
simply by allowing the gray hair to
become manifest. If your hair has be-
come faded or gray, try Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy a prepare
ton which a chemist by the name of
Wyeth devised a few years ago 1t is
simple, Inexpensive and practical. and
will Danish the gray hairs in few
DAYS. It is also guaranteed to remove
dandruff and promote the growth of
the hair.

and after using it few days itching

LETTERS 10 THE EDI1oR
Playground. for Children.

Mr. Editor: There has been, and is,
more or less discussion and quite lit
tie interest in the matter of public
playErounds for the children Of Nor
has as yet been done, but the time is
rapidly approaching when action of
some. sort will be necessary.
One of the greatest arguments of the
opposition is that there are plenty OF
open places where the children are
welcome to play. In any such open
space there is of course, no supervision
or direction to the childrens activities,
and from some sources come COM
plants from the neighboring resi-
dents OF disorder and anpoyance-gen-
orally based on toe much noise. One
can see how there could be room for
reasonable complaint in case where
boys gathered to play ball by them
selves.
But when a plot Of land, lying idle
on the outskirts of the town, with
residences adjoining only one end OF
it. is used for ball field and under
organized and thoroughly competent
direction and supervision by men in
terested in the welfare of the boys
physical being-ft would naturally ap-
able objections raised
When, however. objections are raised
and the police are called upon to eject
both boys and supervisors from the
place, it would seem to be about time
to start something in the way of q
playground where the children could
play without being put off. Such an in
stance happened Saturday and was the
cause of one of thu. grammar school
games having to be postponed.
Let US cease to be merely interested
in the matter Of playgrounds-let us
start the movement now and at least
secure for our young boys and girls
places where they can feel free tc
play.

Usinq Left-Overs.

1t is frequently puZzling to the
housekeeper to know how to use upthe
bits of eata'bles left over from meal
to meal. There is usually not enough
left of any one thing for a. dish and
what can she do with them?
Take. for instance, cold vegetables
If they have been prepared with a
white sauce-corn, beans or peas or
what not--they may be dumped to-
gethet in a eolander and washed. With
a bit of lettuce and French dressing
these can be made into tasty salads,
with or without nuts in addition.
If there is a bit of ham. left and
cheese and a few slices of stale bread,
some hot ham sandwiches can be
made. Mince the ham, mix with
grated cheese, spread on one slice of
bread, cover with another. cut in two
and brown on each side in hot butter
Serve piping hot.
Geld string beans on lettuce. with
either French dressing or nayonnaise,
make one of the best salads. Cauli-
flower is good either way, too. Cold
cooked beets may be chopped, put on
lettuce and mayonnaise added Cold
boiled potatoes may be sliced a triffe
of minced onion added with a cup of
mayonnaise or. boiled dressing, and
this served as a salad also.

A Social Crime.

The experience of Andrew 10th, who
spent a score of years in Pennsyl-
vania prison for a crime that he did
not commit, must have profoundly i'm
pressed all who read about it. The
state had made a mistake. the man
had suffered deeply and yet society
had provided for him no way of re-
dress. A New York senator has been
moved to introduce a bill in the legis-
slature of that state amending it's par
don law by giving a man unjustly i'm
prisoned the right to recover damages
Here is a point at which organized
society has failed. Z am advised -
the senator said, that whereas one
may recover damages from the state
for property taken for lublic use, or
for injuries to the person or property
by reason of the states negligence,
there is no remedy for an innocent
person unjustly convicted of a crime
and sentenced to a term of imprison-
ment." There will be general agree
