AT NAVALACADEMY

of Middies, So 'Tis Said.

tive order Of the Academy authorities.

ATWOOD WILL NOT
FLY HERE AGAIN
Chamber of Commerce Re-
fuses $1,000 Testimonial.

There will be no further aviatory ex-
ploits in Washington, SO far as Harry
n. Atwood is concerned The failure of
the Chamber of Commerce yesterday to
raise 5000 as a testimonial to the
flyer settled that question.
There will not even be a flight between
Potomac Park and College Park. Work
on dismantling the Moth began yester-
day afternoon. and 1t will be removed to
the College Park hangar to-day, pre-
paratory to its removal to New York
City. Atwood may remain on the avia-
ton field long enough to tutor the army
flyer in the management OF the Wright
Burgess machine. Then he plans to
make arrangements for a New York
Chicago flight, which will break all cross
country records in the United States.
It is probable, however. Atwood will
rest for the next few weeks, since he
has been flying steadily for the last
month, and the strain is telling on him.

Keep Getting Together

Editor News: Here is one man who wants to thank you for your editorial on "Get Together" I feel like the old fellow who returned a borrowed copy of Plato's "Republio with the remark. II see he's got some of my idees." l am glad to be weak 'seconder of your ''idees" and say to you, don't let us for get them. Hammer away along that line Eff it takes all summer"
 And by the way, that meeting last night, of the Business Mems Association, (nee "Board of Trade'O was an evidence that the ''get-t together spirit is at work. We didn't all agree as to whether hand grenades or hook and ladder outfit be bought, and there are still some things left to be accomplished-we didn't do 1t all at one sitting-but l venture the guess that every man there W mt home with renewed interest in the problems of our village and new sense of the value of such an association as we now have.

What the Other Fellows Say

/ Orders for iron and steel insure pros perity for some time ahead. In the business world, as in the human econ- omy, an iron tonic Is often good for the system.- Waterbury Republican.
 It is no longer extravagant to eat two eggs at one meal.-Bridgeport Telegram.
 Time evidently hangs heavily on the hands of the Central New England trainmen, when a crew can lay off to go on a chicken stealing expedition. Perhaps the company gives them forage nights. -Meriden Journal.
 T. R. II am sorry I have nothing to say" Is it possible he has arrived at that stage ?-Bridgeport Post.
 The Observing Bachelor stayed home last Sunday evening and figured out that it is much cheaper to pay the annual dues of all the mems clubs in town and even include the payment of that prob able bachelor tax than to get married. Besides it is worth $5 to find out just how old some spinsters really are,- Pittsheld Eagle.
 By the way the railroad heads are talking the steam lines are going to have fasting season, ,too.-Palladium.
 Last week the country had a touch of real winter and immediately there went out cry through the length and breadth of the land that "the fruit had been killed" It only takes a little severe weather to set the alarmists going, particularly those who would like to create the idea of scarcity in order to keep up the prices. However, it will probably be discovered later that there was no reason for alarm and that there will be an abundant crop.

 When we take up our sparkling con- temporary, the Shore Line Times, and fail to find single editorial or even a time-honored pm we feel that, for a week at least, life is not what it ought to be. Brace up, Brother Scholey and get on your editorial job.-Litchfield Inquirer.
 The magazine publishers and editors didn't budge President Taft any in his efforts to reform the postal service.- New Haven Jourual-Courier.
 Certainly if any railroad manager can appreciate the advantage to his road of a good feeling between it and the public which it serves, President Mellen ought to be able to do so, for he has met the most strenuous and unreasonable op- position in the near past and has only overcome it by showing that 1t was un- reasonable and unnecessary. That rela- tiOn must be maintained. ed.-BridpeDor Standard.

The Highway Commi ssioner

The Highway Comm ssioner
 The Hartford Courant is right when it speaks for the retention of Highway Commissioner James H. Macdonald and says: "Mr. Macdonald is practical road builder of many years experience, which should count for more than the knowledge of a civil or railroad en- glneer."
 A clean record of fourteen years, with all that it meant in experience and knowledge, and for economy, honesty and success, certainly ought to prompt Governor Baldwin to carefully study this case and to make himself familiar with the selfish motives which prompt the opposition to make the persistent and determined outcry agalnst "the father of the good road system of Connecticut" man who is recognized among the good road builders of the country as competent teacher as well as a practical constructor of model highways.
 The new and swift and heavy auto- mobile traffic has proven to be too much for the best roads of our times ; and among the road builders of to. day it is problem what kind of road will longest stand the wear and tear of these touring cars, some of which are nearly as heavy as trolley cars and speedier than \the fastest locomo- tives on the fines built roadbeds.
 The interests of the state are deeply involved in this practical matter and the Republican majority could not afford to yield should the governor think it necessary to displace an official of such ability and eminence.
 There is no question but the state of Connecticut would be a loser in handing over to inexperienced hands such all extensive and important work. Bulletin.

THE UNIVERSITY oFJoURNALIsM

Of Attorney Howard Webb, who is likely to be the next judge of the New Haven police court, the New Haven Union says, in the course of laudatory editorial:
 "Mr Webb is not only an able lawyer and a kindly gentleman, but he is an old newspaper man and in his day was one of the best ones that New Haven eyer produced. lie descended from the newspaper profession to the practice of the law and was 8 success in both occupations. Any man that can do that IS certainly qualified for any judge ship. Then again, Howard Webb gradu- ated from the University of Journalism. He began his successful newspaper career on The Uuion. He is always. therefore, one of our boys and his cuccess IS ever a, source of pride and qualification to us. l."
 Judge Webb is to be congratulated on having descended" from The Union. The audacious journal founded by Alexander Troup" has descended a good many graduates to the inverted depths of fame and distinction, besides Judge Webb. And if the future holds signs that mean anything. it even now harbors others doomed to similar "descent," including the writer of the above, who was likewise founded by Alexander Troup'' and is referred to as "a block of the old chip" But The Union has no monopoly of that sort of distinction. From The Connecticut Western News have "descended" Justice A. T. Roraback, of the supreme court b9non, who piloted the destinies of this paper for time some 33 years ago also descended J. Henry Roraback. who lieutenanted in it's sanctum about 20 years ago, and who was dined by distinguished admirers, including United States senators, congressman and other in Washington only last week, and presented with $500 watch. Also Judge WhittIesey, of the probate court. Also-a whole lot of others. A great university is the University of Journal ism.
