it's indignation boiled over. Jus then the attention of the public wa
 fixed on the bills that the Lobby wa trying to defeat. It was popular t, support those bills. Denunciatio,
 of the Lobby increased the subscrip ton list
 1 Now it so happens that the lead
 ership of the Republican party hal
 fallen into the hands of some of tht 1 foremost men in that lobby. These
 are the men whom the Post brought
 under it's stern censure. These art
 those who bit, and tore at such legis'
 lation as the public utilities bill, the
 direct primaries bill, the employers
 liability bill and the workmen's com.
 pensation, until nothing was left but fragments of the first.
 The question which every voter
 must ask himself, searching his con.
 science for an answer, is this ques. | tion:
 How can it be for the welfare o1 ! the average man in Bridgeport tc have one of the great parties govern
 ed and controlled by clements who ir Hartford are against the welfare o1 the average man?
 Who is the Big Man whom the 1 Post touts? The same newspaper
 has named him. The name recalls fha 00@ voor wo for oontro o+ vohhod o.
 it's sting only after years of fighting
 by the loyalty of Mayor Buckingham and the persistency of the opponents Of as wicked bargain as ever was made
 l And what kind of a candidate must
 he be, who is sought by the Lobby and the Big Man.
 Is there the slightest doubt that he must first be opposed to municipal
 ownership and against any effort to bring the products of monopoly
 within the reach of the people? Already extensive effort has been made to plunge the city into sea ot debt Only barely has an outlay of s6.ooo.0o0 for sewers been averted after a fight of three years duration
 This outlay meant an ultimate pay
 ment of s60 by every man. woman and child in Bridgeport.
 Is it likely that the leopard has changed his spots ?'' Will the men who are against honest legislation in Hartford, favor honest government in Bridgeport? Is the Lobby detestable abroad and respectable at home?
 These are the questions the voter must ask. These are the questions he must answer, before he accepts the weather .vane advice of newspa- pers that are all things to all men. Bridgeport has had too much gov- ernment by "Big Men," which is an- other name for big monopones.

INTELLIGENT SYMPATHY.

There are wrongs that would not last long if men stopped from thelr duties for few minutes to exercise imagination. How much it means to see the mangled form of an injur- ed workman, as his bleeding body IS horne to the ambulance! How lit tie it means to peruse column or figures. showing that thousands of men were stricken in the fields of industry by unnecessary accident. The sympathy that is powerfully stirred " the sight of a single victim, IS scarcely moved by the figured knowl- edge of multitude of victims.
 In Torrington will be found human kindness exerted to the utmost to al 1sviate the sufferings of nearly 300 ty- phoid victims. There is indignation fiery hot, oyer the spectacle of all this anguish and the grief for sev- enteen unnecessary deaths. How much better would it be if the sym pathy had preceded the tragedy Con- necticut had produced its share of water bofne typhoid epidemics. The number of cases was on record Tns number. of victims was set down by the registrar of vital statistics where any man might read. The board of health had said that any unfiltered water supply taken from surface drainage was likely at anytime to be- come poisonous.
 Yet nobody there said, "Let us take .nreca utions ;. What has, happened in other places may happen in Torrinng- ton.''
 This time the lesson is not to be cuite lost. winsted is already con eidering a filtration plant for its wa ter supply. willimantic, is about to take precautionary measures. Hart ford has had plans drawn for f1ltra- ton plant. A portion of the New Haven supply has been under filtra- ton since the typhoid epidemic of 1901, during which 75 deaths occur red.
 The way to show sympathy for sui ferers from preventable- affliction is by preventing the affliction.

WHERE MORRIS STANDS.

1t makes some difference how a thing is put A shock went over the city, yesterday. when certain statements appeared in the newspa- pers. which made it appear, to a. cas- ual reader, that Harbor Master Chas H. Morris had become lukewarm in the cause of direct primaries, of which he has been the strongest champion, in this part of the state, for many years.
 f But the harbormaster isn't that kind of man. His metal is shown in the interview, stating his position, in which he says. 'I will fight for direct primaries as long as there is an ounce of fight in me"
 Nevertheless the narbormaster abides by the rules of the game. He submitted his cause in the primaries of his party. His delegates were de- feated in every district. He is not represented by a single delegate upon the floor of the Republican conven- ton. Those delegates were chosen by the governing authority of the Republican party, in opposition to direct primaries.
 Having accepted wager of battle, having fought a fair fight, having been beaten in the tribunal of his own selection, the harbormaster says that he will be a true sportsman and abide by the judgment he himself sought.
 But. he continues to believe that the fraction of the Republican vot- CTS who presented in. the primary do not reflect in this matter the will of the majority of Republicans, and he will submit the question, to issue again at the first opportunity. Ger tainly an unimpeacha ble position, which no man can justly criticize.
 The primary vote reflected the opinions of the office, holding group in the Republican party. They were rot convinced that direct primaries would continue them in security of place. Hence they were opposed to the reform

CoLoRs IN PAR1sIAN HEADwEAR

The colors adopted for shapes are. as rule, of a somewhat sombre cast, whether they be in fabric or felt. undress or matinee hats of the most elegant description A fancy for feature in this connection as that for black and white. It is quite pos sible that later on when winter is with us fashions in this respect may be somewhat modified, but this must be for future consideration.
 In the meanwhile milliners are mak- ing use of fabrics in all shades of brown, dncluding the deepest shades of Cornaline, Femina and Couronne- ment which come under the head of maroons if not of actual browns) dark greys, and shades intermediate be- tween greys and browns which go by the name of moleskin.
 The colors in which the great mass of felt shapes appear are very dark, not to say dingy, dull brown and neutral predominating The navy blues have a lavender tinge and are not very conspicuous. the sombre note of the Regiment series is struck in the greens and it is only here and there in the soft felt toques and tur- bans that a brim faced with some dark shades of red makes diversion.
 For those who prefer something brighter, there is always white to re- sort to- Some of the blocked turbans and other comparatively small shapes with coronet brims in white felt, are provided with a narrow double fold of black or dark colored silk (taffeta or corded silk) mounted just within the edge of the brim's face, suggesting the use of a trimming to correspond.
 With the exception of white hats. so often trimmed as we'll as faced with black or some dark color, trim mings supply a brighter touch. Har- monies rather than contrasts, how ever, are given the preference. These you will find provided in several of the series sampled, on the Syndicats Color Card. Take the Faisan and the Cornaline series for example Here you have a Sombre hue for the shapes and quite gay ones for the trim mings.
 Such as these may find expression in the velvet hats with rather marrow width brims and high crowns, the fashion being to conceal the latter copletely beneath ostrich feathers short amazons being used-which may either be selected in the three first shades of these series two of each) or else each feather may be shaded from one to the other, or better still, severally contain all those in differ ent proportions.
 Among the light shades of fawn and grey, the lighter sombre shades or the low-toned pinks, beautiful harmonies vii also be found for dark browns and maroons, the Regiment greeny greys and the deep purples.-The Millinery Trade Review.

FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

This month the pastor of the First Presbyterian church, Rev. John Mac Laren Richardson, will discuss cer- tain phases of the Sunday problem which has been agitating Bridgeport during the past summer. Sunday night he takes as his subject, "The Rest Sunday" as the workers hope. The effort to commercialize Sunday has been a comparatively recent de- velopment in American life and bodes M1 for the country if it cannot be overcome.
