"THE CITY BEAUTIFUL"
A Picturesque Mail BOx-Misplaced
Bricks and a Few Other Things.

My Dear Capital.
In the course of picking my way
over the unplaced and misplaced bricks
Of the Getty Beautiful" find at
the corner of King George and East
streets most interesting and unique
object lesson.
For several weeks the United States
mail box, which belongs at the juno
tion of these streets, has been off is
standard, lying on the pavement with
its back against the post to which it
at unetime was affixed.
Recently some kind friend has pick
ed it from the pavement and now it
rests halfway up on an empty box,
which was at one time evidently used
as an ash receptacle.
This disposition of a mail box is at
once unique and picturesque, and /
venture to suggest that as the boxes
become weak or delapidated, they too,
be removed from their standards and
perched on empty boxes, not necessar-
lily an ash box-any old box will an
swer.
This arrangement of the mail re-
ceptacles will give an air of peculiar
beauty to our streets and to the dis
position of mail matter in these recep-
tacles an overwhelming feeling of Sc
curity. OBSERVER.

ST. JOHNNIES LOSE.
GaIIaudet Mutes Demonstrate They
Know More Of Basketball Than
the Local Collegians.

Putting up a game fight but showing
a lack of team work which they could
not really be expected to have devel-
oped so early in the season, st. Johns
College basketball team was defeat
ed by the quintet of mutes of Gallau-
Diet College in Washington Saturday
night.
1t was the first game of the John
MES season and went against them to
the tune of IS to %. The game start
ed with a rush, when Arras shot the
first basket for the mutes before
two minutes of play had passed.
Mellon, who starred for St. Johns,
evened this up almost Immediately.
However, the mutes quickly took
the lead and kept to the fore for the
rest of the contest.
The game was a rough one in
some ways but not unusually so for
so early in the season.

WOULD BE RE-INSTATED.
Former MILDLY Clifford is in Washing
ton Today to Appear Before Naval
Affairs Committee.

Former Midshipman Charles Lewis
Clifford, of Boston, who with CASTOR
L. Holmes, of Mississippi, was last
fall dismissed from the Naval Acad-
envy following their ecapade of get
ting lost" in the mountains of Nor
way while the ships of the practice
squadron were at Bergen, is in Wash
ington today working on his deter
mined efforts to be reinstated.
Former Midshipman Clifford is to
go before the Congressional Joint
Committee on Naval Affairs this
afternoon relative to a bill which
may be introduced in the House for
the reinstatement of himself and his
chum Holmes.
1t is said that even if he cannot
succeed in securing reinstatement,
Clifford is DESTROYS of obtaining what
he calls some sort of a vindication.
Even should such a bill be passed
by Congress, it is almost assured
that President Taft would veto it,
as this was the program he an
nounced ahead of time in a recent
effort to put back several cadets
who had been dismissed from West
Point.

NEGLECT OF LITTLE DUTIES.

The proyerb that the neglect OF
small duties makes great trouble, .
has again been made plain.
A month ago a syoung man WAS
killed by the cars in a Massachusetts
city and the remains were badly man
gled: but there were facial marks by
which a devoted aunt who lived IS
miles away felt sure she could identify
the remains. and as these peculiari-
ties were present it was thought there
could be no mistake in his identity.
She had the body taken to her place
of residence, and saw that it was
properly buried. when one evening this
week her nephew in his glad rags ar
rived home in good health to refute
the idea that he was dead and buried
He belonged to The class OF youth
who do not think it necessary to KEEP
in touch with their family, or reIa-
tiyes; and because he had neglected
to drop a postal card occasionally te
this devoted aunt she was put to the
grief and expense of funeral.
There are too many negligent young
men of this sort. who, by a little at
tention to keeping in touch with those
related to them could prevent much
distress and often a large bill of ex-
pense.

A BARRIER AT LAST.

Connecticut has been slow in shut
ting diseased cattle out of the state,
which is the only sure means of keep
ing diseased meat out of the markets.
The present legislature is slow. but
it is accomplishing some good things.
This is one of them.
The Ansonia Sentinel is right when
ii says: For number of years past
this state has been a dumping ground
for diseased cattle. and those in au-
therity concerning public health and
safety have foreseen the need of closer
inspection in order to safeguard the
public in this particular
1t will not be so any longer Governor
Baldwin has signed the law requiring
that all cattle brought into this state
shall be inspected and be subject to
condemnation IL found to be diseased
1t is chiefly due to the efforts of DIR
Knight, chairman of the state tuber-
culosis commission, and the influence
and cooperation of the state board
of health. that in future all cattle
crossing the border lines of Connect
cut shall have a clean bill of health
This protection is due to the people
and although tardy is appreciated by
the public.

THE LIFE OF PAVEMENT is CARE

An engineer of experience recently
declared that the greatest municipal
extravaganza was found in the paving
of streets and economy was to be
sought in constant watchfulness and
perpetual care.
The Municipal Journal and Engineer,
in speaking of the paving problem, de-
clares it is not to be wondered at that
streets of American cities are in de-
plora BILE shape, since most of the pave
ments were laid ten or fifteen years
age and are. naturally, in need of re-
pair and renewal.
There is no paving that will endure
for any great length of time in good
order without attention. Then politi-
cal contractors do not pay the atten-
tien to durability that they do to the
possibility of making large profits;
and when 1t comes to municipal de-
partmental or to corporate repairs of
torn UP streets they are something
which the gods-the gallery gods, even
would never cease to wonder at.
Cities do not have good streets be-
cause there is no supervisor of au-
therity and no special care on the
part of others how the streets are
abused, or how wretchediy they are re-
laid when torn up.
The Toledo Blade, discussing this
question. says: "A good pavement
for all practical purposes, ought to
last forever This does not mean that
it should be laid and then left to the
fates. On the contrary, the pavement
must be guarded as any other property
is. Repairs should be made whenever
there are signs of wearing. 1t must
hn hat he 4x-i,a ir Lot f,oo al,
smoothly and evenly when the water
works people, the sewer diggers, the
gas and electric men have torn it up
The effect of sun and snow must be
studied, arching and shrinking kept
track of. A street pavement is like
anything else that is in constant use
1t is bound to wear. But a piece OF
paving as a whole need never be rip
ped out and replaced entire if the two
essentials are complied with-good
honest material and sensible care"

OPEN VIOLATION OF LAW.

= OF course there is nothing new in
the statement of the situation with
reference to the Sunday law in vari-
Gus parts of the state which the
Hartford Courant calls A Sacred
Farce" and talks about as follows:
All Sunday the trolley cars that
travelled the streets of Hartford bore
cards announcing in big type that
there would be a band concert at
Laurel park at D. m. The outgoing
cars were crowded. and no doubt the
hundreds in attendance had a pleas
ant time.
The Courant of yesterday (Monday3
morning recorded the fact that at
Bridgeport on Sunday the New Britain
baseball team beat Bridgeport by 6
to 5. that at Waterbury on Sunday the
Hartford team beat Waterbury by 5
to A. and that at New Haven on
Sunday the Springfield ball team beat
New Haven by to 2
Now read the statute of the SOW
ereign state of Connecticut. 1t says:
Sect. 1870: Every person who shall
be present at any concert of music,
dancing, or other public diversion on
Sunday or on the evening thereof
shall be fined not more than four dol
lars.
What were these occasions, if not
concerts of music and public diver
sions? And they take place every
Sunday, and the people enjoy them
Bridgeport Standard.
Sunday will be observed in accord
/ with public respect for the day, what
ever the law 1t is foolish to think
81, NIB no for
divine law will respect statutory law.
In this contrast made by The Stand
ard there is one thing apparent, while
there are thousands of people who
believe in clean amusements on the
Lords day, there is none who wishes
to assume the responsibility of en-
forcing the law because of the in
tense antagonism it is likely to create.
The cry for a 20th-century Sunday is
all bosh The Sunday observed in
accord with divine law is the Sunday
which will cover all time-the real
thing: but the Sunday which is made
to fit human desire for license is the
Sunday we have had, and the Sunday
we are likely to have; and it will vary
as the heart of man varies from gen
GRAFTON to generation.
HOW THE REFERENDUM WORKS.
1t has been shown that the refer
endum is a check upon political jug
Cling as well as political corruption Of
every form.
Premier Laurier of Canada is not
alarmed by the opposition to reel
procity with this country in the par
Lament. He has told the obstruction
lists they must permit vote upon this
question or that ne would take a vote
of the Canadian people upon it with
out delay. They cannot hold the mat
ter up as few senators did a Wash
ington.
The outlook for reciprocity in Can
ada is promising and it is likely to
be accomplished without delay. The
system by when question can be re-
ferred back to the people for settle
ment in case of a deadlock between
the government and opposition has the
advantage Of acceiel ating legislation
In this country there would neTse- have
been the haggiing and paving of the
air over reciprocity had it been pos
sible to make quick reference of The
matter to the people who world soon
have silenced the babblers in opposi-
ton

Congressman Hill on the Cotton
Schedule.
Especial to The Bulletin.)

Washington, July 27.-When seen
last night and asked what he thought
of the cotton schedule just introduced
by Chairman Underwood of the ways
and means committee, Mr.. Hill said:
1.-The democratic cotton bill is imposSi-
BILE. 1t cuts the tariff in two in many
items. and in other cases reduces the
rate two-thirds. 1t is a purely rev.
enue tariff bill; there is no protection
in it, It contemplates an increase Of
81 per cent. In importations of cotton
goods, and nevertheless shows a rev.
enue loss of more than three million
dollars annually. So far as / can Judge
fom a cursory examination, the south
ern mills will be hit much harder
than the northern ones, owing to the
different character of their products,
provided the bill should become a law.
In any event this bill, in conjunction
with the revenue tariff revision of the
wool schedule and the free list bill,
which have already passed the house,
the latter putting between two and
three billions of finished manufactured
products on the free list would COM
pei an entire reorganization of the
manufacturing industries of the coun-
try and an absolute reconstruction of
our labor system and standard of
wages.
mo hearings whatever with refer
ence to these great industries have
been permitted, and the labor of the
tariff board looking to an intelligent
investigation of the difference in cost
of production at home and abroad has
beeen absolutely ignored, notwithstand-
ing the fact that nearly half million
dollars is being spent in such inveSti-
cation and that agents are now al
work in all the principal countries OF
production, with a view to obtaining
full and complete information con-
corning these schedules, and positive
assurances have been given that such
reports will be available at the open
ing of congress in the fall. 1t is fol
the country to decide whether ii wish
es tariffs in the future to be made up
on guesswork or based upon facts
