 To summarize: Socialists hold offices in twenty-fo four states, from Maine to California one member of congress who represents the largest constitu- \ ency in congress. viz. 8G0,G00 socialist voters, seventeen members of legisla lures, thirty mayors of village heads, rrore than 225 other ele etive officials.
 In the recent borough election. in N5ugatuck, New Haven county, E. D. Eali socialist candidate for warden, received B per cent. of the vote in a bree-cornered contest, and socialist candidate for burgess lacked but six votes of election.
 The socialist party locally, state wise, nationally and internationally was never stronger than it is today. In the recent municipal election in Mill waulee. although all parties united to down the socialists. there were 4,000 more socialist votes cast than ever tefore, and this is spite of ten daily papers in Milwaukee bitterly opposing tha socialists. with but one weekly or gar. The socialist party faces the fu- tur,e with supreme confidence in the ult.mat te triumph of the cause.

PRICES po NOT RisE EQUALLY.

When railroad man thoroughly versed in the rates for travel talks we wonder why more people do not travel The statement is made. and apparently proven. that from 1884 to 1909 the average commodity. and labcr prices increased g per cent. while the average passenger and freight rates show slight decrease for the fifteen years. So the Hartman lines vice president is moved to ask:
 Do you appreciate what the present average rates of 1.92 cents passenger mile and 10 cents ton mile mean2 The former is a little less than the value. of a two-cent postage stamp vet for the cost of this small stamp the railway transports a passenger and his baggage one mile and in addition three thousand pounds of vehicle to seat him. six hundred and fifty pounds of vehicle for his luggage and two thousand pounds of sleeping, dining. and parior equipment for increasing his comfort.
 For the same tiny stamp the rail- way carries two and three-fourths tons of freight one mile for the ship per and provides and hauls on its passenger trains for the postoffice de- partment the equivalent of a fully equipped postoffice on wheels weigh ing forty five to fifty tons distance of about three -fourths of a mile.'' It is a fact that man can travel farther for a nickel in America than he can travel for a dollar elsewhere. It is said that by system of trans fers informed citizen in New York may ride S5 miles for five cents.

MEETING REQUIREMENTS.

1t is certainly up to the authorities everywhere 10 keep aliens well in formed of their duties as citizens and ms to the limits of freedom. rather than 10 be giving them criminal records and sending them to jail for misde meanors which are 'simply the fruit of ignorance.
 The Newark News says Nearly three years ago the Newark common council directed that certain laws and ordinances bs printed in five different languages: Italian Polish, Slavic Hungarian and I.ithaanian and dis tributed among the people of these nationalities SO that they might fully understand what they were expected to obey. The Pennsylvania Railroad company has recently issued a book of instructions for it's employees and has had il printed in nine different langue res, including German, Greek Hungarian. Italian, Lithuanian, Polish Slovak and Swedish. Yet neither of these equals the work done in New Jersey. among the foreign element, by the home mission boards of the vari- ous religious denominations. The printing sf tracts. pamphlets, books etc. by these boards. and the preach ing by minfsters especially educated for tnis work, involves the use of no less than tweutv-three languages and dialects. And all this for New Jersey alone It is fast becoming one of the most cosmopolitan places of it's size in the world. No less than 50. oOe foreigners land and locate in this state every year"

 And when do get hot water, it takes so
 long to wash that the rooms get awful smely.' Anty Drudge-"Why don't you Fels-Naptha? Then
 through with your wash in jiffy and there' be no
 steam to make your rooms offensive"
 To women who live in apartments the washing of clothes is problem The solution Is Fels-Naptha soap. No need of hot water; no boiler, no washboard. For.light washing you don't even need washtub, because the bathtub or basin will do quite well.
 All you require Is Fels-Naptha, cool or lukewarm water and a place to dry the clothes
 Say you have shirtwaist or two, nap kins, lingerie and other small things, that you don't have time or don't want to send out to be washed. You can do much bet ter at home in this way:
 Wet the clothes, soap well with Fels-Naptha, roll and leave to soak in cool ; or lukewarm water for a short time. Then rub lightly, rinse and hang up to dry.
 Takes but one-fourth the time and one-tenth the work of the old way. Also saves the clothes Follow directions on the red and green wrapper.

A GOOD ONE.

Highway Commissioner MacDonald's s reappointment of Wales Chatfeld, of Ansonia. as inspector of state high ways in this vicinity. Is commendable It is generally conceded by those who know of Mir. Chathelds work that if Mir. Macdonald had had as thorough going inspectors all over the state as Mir. Chatheld has been, there would have been less trouble with the roads. ---Ansonia Sentinel

We hope The Sentinel does not think that State Highway Commissioner Macdonald knowingly appoints inefi- cient inspectors. He is like every oth- CT public servant who has to rely on inc recommendations of others for the acceptance of his men, and, like them he finds that they do not measure up 10 their recommendations The same ~ndorsers, it may be said. never fool the commissioner twice. He has made some of his most persistent enemies by letting the inefficient so the mo- ment their lack of proficiency was re- veaiet. It is an easy matter to blame the innocent for a thousand and one things they are not guilty of. through Ignorance or prejudice. The commis- sioner has always appointed compe- tent men in this part of the state.

OFFICIALS TO JUhKET

The members of the Board Of Public
Safety composed OF e. M. White, H. H.
Highlands and Frank Borman and
Chief Feeley OF the Gary fire depart
ment will go to Kenosha. Wis. tomor-
row where they will inspect a new
chemical auto wagon with the view of
purchasing one for the Gary depart
mint.
The Board of Safety met last evening
and took up the matter of the purchase
of additional IRE equipment Hepre-
sentative of several fire hose manufac-
turing companies were present and the
board will mako the purchase OF the
5000 feet OF fire hose within a few
days.
On account of many districts in Gary
being without water the board has con-
sidered the purchase of the new chemi-
cal auto wagon very faverably. The
machine is made by the Rambler peo-
pie and carries two tanks containing so
gallons of chemicals more than sum-
|cient in extinguishing an ordinary
blaze.
