WHY SUCH CROAKING?
Waterbury Republican,

Some of our contemporaries seem puzzled, and rightly so, to find a req son for such croaking as to business conditions as President Mellen has done in announcing that his company intended to curtan help all along the line. It is but a few days ago that the great financial and industrial re- porting agencies confirmed their pre- vious statements that the outlook for the fall and winter were most encour- aging and that the crops would prove far more valuable, despite conditions due to drOuth that some authorities claimed. Over against MT. Mellen' s pessimistic attitude are the hard facts that the steel mills of the country are buster than they have been for many months and their records as to un- filled orders indicate a prolonged per iod of prosperity. In all the indus trial centers in Connecticut there is little indication of dubious state of business in the immediate future and extra gangs are already at work in many of the factories that are depen- dent wholly on the New. Haven sys- tenn for the moving of their products to market, turning out orders that are more or less urgent. Indeed those who dustrial conditions and dependable symptoms are quite at loss to find a reason for the -prognostications of the New Haven roads head. Can it be because the Brotherhood of Loco motive Engineers has succeeded in having most of the men who were dropped after the South Norwalk ern railroad employees who may strike from coming east in disguise to seek positions in case the trouble there comes to an open breach?

TAX LIST. 1911

The Assessors of the City of Bridge port will meet at the Assessors Office, City Hall, on the first day of Septem- Der, and each week day thereafter. to and including the second day of Oc- tober 1911, for the purpose of receiv- ing the sworn lists of all persons lia- ble to pay taxes on personal property (namely, horses, wagons, automobiles, stock in stores, etc.), and real estate, in the City of Bridgeport, making a description of all real estate, each parcel being separately described (in- cIuding street number). And if he or she shall neglect or refuse to do so, the Assessors shall fill out a list for him or her and add thereto ten per centum of its valuation.
 The attention of nonresident prop ertv owners is called to the change in the law relating to the filing of their lists, as failure on their part to list their property during September, de- pr1ves them of the right of appeal to the Board of Relief.
 Special attention is called to Sec tion 23O3 of the Statutes. which states that each parcel of property must be separately and accurately bounded and described.
 Post Office address of each owner must be given.
 Office hours-9 a. m. to p. m Saturdays g a. m. to 12 m.

 To a very great extent, the college is resting on its past and contents it. self with holding aloof from the world as a thing beneath it and unworthy Of its notice. A distruSt of and even a contempt for the mob" seems to pervade the student body and the col lgee authorities, and mob" with them appears to mean the great mass Of people who have not a college educa- tion. Any one of radical tendencies cannot but feel uncomfortable and out of place in the college atmosphere. The immovable and self-satisfied conser- vatism is stifling and only by keeping in close contact with the outside world where people are real and not academ- ic shadows of men, can one live up to his ideals and prevent himself from falling into the rut.
 But there is hope, even for Harvard A few students keep alive the spirit of unrest and revolt, though they. find poor material on which to work in this conservative university; one Har- ward graduate has well characterized the position of many of the professors by the observation that they have t'ioads of learned lumber in their heads" and there are whlsperlngs among the ,rebellious of a move to transform Harvard into a great State university, susceptible to modern ideas, whose students shall come from that same 'mob' that is now feared. When that time comes the student body will be filled with new life, and the danger of building up an intellectual arlstoc- racy, filled with the pride intellect, will have been avoided.

The need of some other eXtenua- l tion than a sleeping, or careless en- gineer, seems to have been filled in train wreckers pulled the spikes out | of a rail with the deliberate purpose | of deraiiing a train crowded with
 men and women, certainly a most fiendish and inhuman purpose. But this explanation, which is off, ficiaIly made, is greeted with almost
 universal skepticism, the leaders in which are the passengers on the
 wrecked train, who had a first hand opportunity to observe what happen led.
 The attitude of skepticism in the
 case of Everett S. Geer, the well
 known directory publisher of Hart ford, passes into the realm of the
 shorter and uglier word" MT. Geer says, ''They can't throw lit on train wreckers, but upon the officials of the New Haven railroad They are responsible" The night was dark. Everything was in confusion. It would have add-ED-LATEST WRECK .. been impossible to ascertain that spikes had been pulled. If they were pulled why were they left carefully in place on the ties, where it would be convenient to find them? These are some of the objections raised to the train wrecker theory. Far more plausible is it that the rails spread under the weight of a heavy engine and cars.
 Doubtless the source of these re- peated accidents will be found in economies and parsimoniks institut- ed as the result of interest and divi- dend requirements necessitated by the issue of many millions of dollars of securities for the purchase of prop critics not connected with the steam road business of the New Haven com pany.
 Water in the stock, is a fertile cause of train wrecks in the United States.

THE BRIDGE VETO.

The town of Norwalk desires to build bridge. It asked the state to share the cost. The legislature res bonded with a bill granting s50,00o Governor Baldwin vetoed this 'bill upon the ground that 2 the state should not make a contribution en- ' tirely for the benefit of single town. Senator Donovan took up the cudgel for the bill in the Senate and passed it over the veto by a large majority. This majority was obtained by the merit of a single argument of tre- mendous force. Said the distinguish ed senator, 'The city of Norwalk is put to great additional expense for bridges by the presence of the street railway companies. The taxation of street railway companies is removed from the towns in which the proper ty isl located oand tbefsrevenues ap- propriated by the state" T The beau- tiful simplicity of this statement and its tremendous force were apparent in the vote. which was 20 to to override the veto.
 If the state would tax the trolley companies at the value which the companies set upon their property it could afford to build the bridges tra- versed by the tracks of such corpo- rations. Or if, the state would turn the tax revenues over to the towns they could afford to do it.
 Perhaps a solution of this problem is the bill originating in Bridgeport, which has been favorably reported from committee, and which provides that trolley companies shall pay their share, of the cost of sa4L new. bridges upon which they will lay tracks.

Rescue 6O-Foot S|oop On Shore
Little Power Boats Save Crippled Vessel from
 Wreck Off Clinton

Clinton, Aug. 30-With her mast down and her hull! half full of water, the fine 60 foot sIoop yacht "Cheem- man," owned by William Freidlander of the Bay Ridge Yacht club, was lowed into the harbor here, last ev- ening, by Captain Spencer and Beck Of the lmperilled yacht in their power full motor boats. Heavy seas were running and a veritable gale was sweeping over the Sound, when the distressed sloop was first sighted, al about 2 D. m. a mile or so off the shore. Her signals of distress were at once answered by Captain Samuel Spencer, who put out in his tiny pow CT craft and was soon at the side of the storm -dismantled yacht The in- trepid captain tossed the yachtsmen a line; and, with the greatest difficulty, the "Cheemnan" was at last taken in tow. But the diminutive launch bring the heavy sea-ladened sloop into port, had not Captain Beckwith come to its assistance, and with their combined powers, the two speed boats lowed the sinking sloop into safe wa ters.
 The Cheemnan was returning to Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, after a two
  in the morning and when off the Cornfield Light a heavy sea unshipped the bowsprit, which was later replac- ed. About one o'clock a sharp squall increased the unusual roughness of the waters, and the wind snapped the mast off close to the deck. which in its fall stove a hole in the deck. J. H. Emmet, the we'll known actor, heard the mast snapping before the crash, and jumped just in time to es- cape the down-coming cross-tree. With the sails useless, the eight horse power engine, with which the yacht was equipped, was started, but this gave insufficient power to drive the huge sloop through the heavy running seas and the boat drifted about, stead fly shipping large quantities of wa ter. It was at this critical moment that help arrived and the yacht was lowed to safety.
 The Cheemnan was one of the fin est yachts belonging to the Bay Ridge Yacht club. It was sumptuously fur nished and was a model pleasure craft. Repairs will be made and the two weeks cruise will be resumed.

PLACING THE RESPONSIBILITY

Former Senator Thomas Arnold, jr., is distinguished among the group of Republican politicians who have sought to make out of Mayor Buck ingham's attempt to obey the law with respect to the personal tax, po- litical capital. Such chickens fre- quently come home to roost. And so in this case. During the debate over the repeal of the personal tax, yesterday, in the Senate, it trans pired that the responsibility for the law,. with it's extraordinary methods of enforcement and its Jail penalties for default, rest more upon Senator Arnold than upon anybody else. He was a member of the Senate in 1909, when the law was created. His com mittee, of which he was chairman, reported the bill and was responsible for it's passage. ut The debate upon the bill to repeal the law was most interesting But Senator McNeil alone touched the tax with a scientific hand. While every Democratic sena- tor voted in favor of the repeal, only Senator McNeil exposed the unscien- tifc nature sAeaa3 efa3s 6 dmpost. and the enormous cost of collecting it. He also dispelled the unaccountable mo- ton that property owners do not pay taxes, by showing the utter impossi- bibility that any self supporting man can escape his Share sq the burdens of government It is to be hoped that Former Senator Arnold may have an opportunity to furnish the peeplerDf Bridgeport on the stump the same arguments which he used to make, the personal tax bill law. We imagine that his views will not soaS Csascnnvmans uppn their repe- titfon,-not- -eKens to himself.

HONEST MEDICINES
 VERSUS FAKES

President Taft's recent message suggesting an amendment to the Pure Food and Drugs ,aw in it's relation to Prepared Medicines, does rot refer 10 such standard medicines as Foley Honey and Tar Compound and Foley
 Kidney Pills, both of which are true
 medicines carefully compounded of in-
 gradients whose medicinal qualities
 are recognized by the medical pro- fession itself as the best known rem
 edia1 agents for the diseases they are intended to counteract For over three decades Foley's Honey and Tar Com pound has been a standard remedy
 for coughs, colds and affections of
 the throat, chest and lungs for chil-
 dren and for grown persons, and it
 retains today its pre-eminence above
 all other preparations of it's kind. Fo-

South NorwaIk's Electricity.

There is no discounting the fact that South Norwalk's municipal light ing plant shines brightly enough to attract attention all over the state. It is we'll known that this plant is a. striking illustration of the possibil- ities of an economically and efficient lyl managed municipal plant and is said to have the smallest amount of indebtedness of any similar plant in the country. The furnishing of pow CT for commercial purposes has been especially prOfitabl so much so that material reduction in the cost of service to the user has just been an- nounced, making the rates as low as will be found anywhere, except where water is used for generating purpos- es. This is substantial asset for any city and South Norwalk will con- tinue to reap an increasing benefit Editorial in the Commercial Record.
 Step Flew off Engine.
 A step flew off an engine on the Harlem branch of the New Haven railroad Thursday forenoon, and it hit Rhody Dooley of Stamford. Doo- ley died three hours later. Dooley was one of Foreman Matthew Nolan's on the rails. They had stepped aside to allow train to pass. When the engine was fifteen feet distant, an iron step on the cab flew off. It hit the ground, rebounded, and hit Dooley above the hip. He fell unconscious.

THE LATEST WRECK.

One railroad wreck upon a line may be an accident, two may repre- sent that concatenation of neglects which is commonly described as i'll luck and three may represent only a passing carelessness accompanied by some misfortune. But when on any railroad system wrecks follow wrecks in increasing numbers a search should be made for the caus- es. which will be found to be con- stitutional, that is, inherent in the management of the system.
 The latest wreck on the New Ha- ven road, which occurred Sunday night, g is the the this serious affair of the kind sinte tearlNiin JNneb and there have been less serious deraiIments.

stunt THE FINGERS AND
YOU STUNT THE BRAINS''
Doctor Urges Men and Women to Ac-
quire Manual skill to Stimulate
Mentality

Business men and women should
use their hand in every possible way
il they want to increase their brains,
according to the latest idea of well
known London doctor. He says:
Tie knots, sew, do fretwork, learn
To make some of your own clothes,
prepare and cook all your own food,
repair your boots and shoes, dig and
plant your garden-in fact, do every
thing that calls for manual skill il
YOU want to have an active, resource
full and versatile brain.
The business man whose work de-
pends on keen, quick-working brain
must use his fingers constantly if he
wants to have these assets in full
He must. speaking literally, turn his
hand to everything, and be capable
of constructing most anything with
his fingers.
The truth of this statement lies in
the fact that in every manual act the
hand is directed by the brain.
Again, every act reacts upon the
brain, strengthening and stimulating
it, which is the only sure method of
keeping that organ in keen, efficient
working order.
THAT our fingers are gradually be-
coming less skilled is due to the nu-
merous mechanical appliances which
now carry out the various processes
formerly done by hand.
This state of affairs, since it stunts
the powers of the fingers, also stunts
the brain. The worker does his work
mechanically, unthinkingly, and grad
ually his brain grows torpid and i'm
paired"

SAYS DUEL WILL REMAIN.
Hard TO Stop, RochefOrst Thinks
Part of French System of
Manners.

Paris.-Apropos of the new law
against dueling, Henri Rocheforst says
that its enforcement will be very diff
ficult because I'VE are a race of ac-
tors and the duel is really a scenic
reproduction.
TT is absurd, but it belongs to the
French system of manners, and I do
not see how it can be prevented"
Guy de Cassagnac recalls the fact
that his father fought eighteen times
and yet was, toward the end of his life
a member of the Anti-Dueling league.
Jacques Rehur says that the duel is
an anachronism which must be abol-
ished, all the more because in almost
all cases it is a distinct play to the
gallery. There are in Paris, he as
serts, dozens of young men who fight
merely because they are thirsty for
notoriety.
