Hobson's Choice

Capt. Richmond Pearson Hobson, hero of the Merrimac and now serving his third term as a member of the na- tional House, has announced that he would be the wearer of 8 senatorial toga. This is making the politicians of Demo- cratic Alabama take notice and none of them more than Senator Joseph F. Johnston-that witty old raoonteur who keeps the cloakrooms of the Capitol in good humOr many successive days of 8 congressional session. For it is John ston's seat that Hobson covets and that he has already informed the Alabama people he will ask them to give him at a primary to be held next year.
 Rpmor runs that Hobson will have no walk away! The glamour of his Spanish war achievements has now worn off. He has made good representative in so far as looking after the thousand and one little congressional errards are con- cerned. But it is said that Alabama folks have gotten as tired as has con- gress of Hobson's bombastic ways and 1 his thunderous alarms about prospective foreign wars. He has been of almost no utility in the serious work of law making at the Capitol. AS former na- val constructor, he has been able occasionally to give the House some ex- pert information, but his ecoentricities of view have impaired the confidence of ] the House in his good judgment.-W Wash l ington COT, Boston Herald.

The State Fair

With the attendance of the fastest trotting horse in the world. the fastest motor car and the President of the United States promised, the fourth An nual Connecticut Fair, which will be held at Charter Oak Park. Hartford during the week of September 1, will be, by all odds, the greatest in the history of thls statewide institution.
 The fact that President Taft was pre-. pairing to attend the fair on the 9th 9th or Eth was announced by the Associated Press from Washington, early last week. while it has also been intimated that Ralph De Palma, the greatest of Italian race drivers, will also be present to try for track records in his giant Benz, the fastest car in the world. It has remaIn- ed until this time, however, for the fair managers to annouLce that negotiations are we'll under way for the securing of "Uhlan" the fastest trottinR horse on the tracks, to go against time during the Grand Circuit races. Last year, Uhlan, driven by his owner, c. Fl. K. Billings, broke the wagon record of the track with a fgure of POI for the mile and an attempt to lower this figure still further will probably be the event in which he will appear this season, The track at Charter Oak is one of the best for speed trials in the country and is. moreover, especially popular with both MT. Billings and his trainer, Doc" Tan ner, so promises for the big event seem especially bright. #.. F..

What the Other Fellows Say.

Nobody will call the esteemed "New Haven Union" shy on language or in clined to lack of emphasis, but it does seem to have outdone itself when it says Bryan "would have made a better Presi- dent than Mckinley, Roosevelt, or Taft. " Isn't that going some?-Hartford Cour- ant.

 New Britain wants new million dol lar hotel. It needs it. It should have it.

 The murder of William Henry Jackson by 17-year old Paul Geidel was a brutal crime. It is too bad that we cannot some times apply to this kind of criminal the sort of justice good old Capt. Ned Blake ly handed out to Bill Noakes, as recorded in Mark Twain's "Roughing It." Every body admits" said Capt. Ned, "that Noakes killed the captains body servant. Even Noakes admits it himself. There fore," concluded the captain, "we'll hang Noakes first, and you can try him after wards if you want to."-New Haven Union.

Where Are They?

Sometimes ln your pesslm 1stlc mo- ments, do you ask yourself what has be- come of
 The man who knew most of the num- bers in the telephone directory.
 The man who always lifted his hat to clergymen and deaconesses and sisters
 The man who always addressed his male elders as Mister.
 The young man who always assisted old folks aboard the car The man who for the same pay didn t regard it & hardship to work few hours overtime if occasion called for it.
 The man who commended good causes and wasn't eternally looking for motives and wondering what this man or that man was going to get out of 1t.
 The man who helped his wife with the dishes in the evening.
 The man whp respected other peoples religious beliefs.
 The man who regards the telephone as an extravaganza. The man who never thought of miss. ing the midweek prayer meeting. The man who always went to the sta | tiOn to see the trains come in. The man who took pride in paying his 1 honest debts. The man who went to the legislature to represent his constituents rather than to play politics.
 The man who voted certain way just because his father did
 The man who went forth to seek his duty instead of lodging around the cor ner to get out of the way of it.
 The man who tried to please other peo- l pie as well as himself. | The man who lives within his means
 And then in your sunnier days come the conclusion that he is still with us: | I-Pittsfeld Eagle.

THE TROLLEY

Apparently work on the home stretch of the trolley construction has begun, and if the oft-repeated assurance is true, that the finishing work would be done in record time when once it was begun, there ought to be something doing Tn the way of hustle, from now until the end of the construction chapter, and the cars should be running to Canaan almost be- fore the people can get off the track. 1t Is true there is no "army of workmen' on the last link, but ground is broken south of the Barnes turnout, and the culvert on the Granger property is be- ing oonstructed-aH which means busi- ness. "
 This "last link" has been an engross- ing and entertaining mystery, from the beginning. Nobody has been able to tell, with anything like reasonable as surance, where the line will intersect Main street-and nobody seems to know, even now. Contractors, surveyors, { workmen, land owners and fellow citi- zens and friends all have been in the dark, so far as any in formation on the subject is concerned All shades of un- authorized rumors, theorles and specu- 1ation have been rife; the layout has been shifted from one side of the village to the other and back again; self-appoint. ed engineers and landscape gardeners have proclaimed routes that necessitated the ruthless demolition of the most con. of the village; the delay in beginning work on the Hast link has been at. tributed to every inconceivable cause, from faked-up stories of private injune tions, legislative prohibition, legal tech nicahties and defective franchise rights fhe prospective terminus has been To- cated at dozen places, between Rail road street and Elm street, and from the Garfield barns to the state line.
 In the meantime, only those "highest np'' in the railtoad councils have known if it has been definitely known to any body, just what the plans of the Com phny W6iG, ebAu 6Feu HOW uODOOy CaL tell, with any degree of assurance, the exact route of the llne in the village limits, or the location of the terminus
 The only reassuring and positive fea ture in evidence is, that the work il progressing, south of the state line, anC there is every reason to believe the roat is to be finished at once, and as thu work progresses the answer to the ab sorbing conundrum of the terminu draws near. We shall know where tn
 line is going to stop when it stops.

 That the cross you had to bear Drew you closer to the Master,
