The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-03-10

not be popular in Walingford or Put nam, In Bozrah or Salem, you may be certain. gentlemen. that 1t is not popular in Bridgeport.
 Called Pink Tea Plan.
 The self perpetuating board may be good model for a progressive whist club. or for an organization even do for social organization where one black ball rejects. but it is a mighty poor model for a govern mental body. charged with the control of vast public property. and endowed with unusual public powers.
 The private corporations of Connec- ticut elect their directors. The other boards of Bridgeport. even more inn portant than these boards, are either elected by the people or appointed by the Mayor for definite terms and have no control over their own ap pointments. Why should these boards be exceptions?
 You will be told that the members of this board are eminent. respectable and for the most part wealthy, and this will be true.
 But remembering that the bills be- fore the Assembly are from the Com mon Council, you should not neglect to enquire why they have not asked the council to rescind it's action.
 These gentlemen are respected 1n
 
 people have much affection. but not enough to organize them as eternal conservators of Bridgeport's property with the privilege of bathing as often as they please in legal fountain of everlasting official youth.
 It is fortunate indeed that the con- stitution of the United States forbids titles of nobility and succession in of flee by inheritance. otherwise I fear that some group of gentlemen would ask you to make the law so that their children and their grand children might follow them. yS
 Jobs Almost Hereditary.
 As the law stands there is in fact nothing to prevent the fathers from naming their sons. and even if the council should fail to confirm one son. the parent might name another. and in any event the fathers would remain as hold-overs
 The question before the General As sembly is very simple.
 Should the city of Bridgeport have such powers as it requires in this purely domestic matter? When through its Common Council it asks for the repeal of these ur1- usual and ridiculous measures that have been thrust upon it, subject to the approval of the electorate should that request not be granted?
 Is the desire of any number of gen. lIeHleH tO nave perpetual OlliCe, now ever wealthy. respectable and ambit- ious they may be. entitled to serious weight in opposition?
 But say to- this committee that when the gentlemen go about the streets of Bridgeport importuning of fcers of Bridgeport and others to as- sist them in making the Legislature overlord of the city in purely domes- tic affairs, they do wrong. I say to you that when these servants of the city. fearing they will be rejected at home. demand an outrage of the prfn- ciple of home rule. and seek to have the Legislature do for them what they fear their fellow townsmen will not. then they by their act render them selves unfit to be the servants of any free city, and they are contumacious to the will of the freeman. and for that reason alone should be denied a confirmation by the council, now and hereafter.

AMSTERDAM'S
DIAMOND INDUSTRY

The diamond industry in Amster-
dam nearly collapsed in 1908 because
of lessened American purchases, the
export to this country being less than
half the normal volume. Dealers who
had the courage and money to buy at
that time bought so cheaply that they
have since made fortunes. In years
past he industry in Amsterdam also
suffered by the changes in the Ameri-
can tariff and by the Boer war, says
Daily Consular and Trade Reports.
About seventy establishments in
Amsterdam cut and polish diamonds.
They employ more than 10000 peo-
pie, of whom about 1900 are cleavers
and cutters, and 400 are polishers,
etc. Some cleavers earn as much as
$120 a week; formerly even more
than that at times. From this top fig

ure they grade downward through
other classes to So and So a week for
savers.
The workers organization is very
compact. No one can learn the trade
without its consent, after physical ex-
animation, especially of the eyes. Pu-
pills generally pay for instruction,
sometimes as much as $4,000 for
cleaving, payable by installments.
There is a special school for polishers
and turner's charging a fee from $12O
to $50.
There are, however, some workers
outside of the organization, and the
number is growing. This is particu-
larry true of some localities in other
countries where the diamond industry
is found. These outside operatives
are usually in small establishments

had in two weeks one hundred and
siXty-four cases and sixty-eight deaths
from cholera. With such a condition
of affairs confronting us, what assur-
ance can be offered that the island
ports will not suffer greatly from a
commercial and sanitary standpoint
in due course of time?
with the rigid system of fnspec-
ton, disinfection and detention Of
steerage passengers which now OBJ
tain at most of the foreign ports or
embarkation, the danger OF any great
number of cholera infected individu-
ais shipping for the Hawaiian Islands
is reduced to the smallest possible
minimum. Cases, however, do at
times escape the vigilance of the san
itary officer, for quarantine is, at
best, only a relative procedure, and
not an absolute bar to the introduc-
tion of infectious diseases.
"The now important role played by
the bacillus carrier in the transmits
sion of this terrible disease is calling
for redoubled vigilance and study on
the part of sanitarians throughout
the whole world, and it is gratifying
to note that their efforts have me-
with some measure of success. How
ever, the factors of error are so mum
erous that it is not we'll to be Iullet

WALKS AFTER A YEAR.
Boy Was Strapped to Curved Board
for SPINE Affection.

CHICAGO. September 16.-After being
strapped to a curved board for nearly a
year. Ollie Mantylle, five years old, was
released yesterday and walked five steps
across a ward of tuberculosis institute
at Waukegan. A year ago it was thought
the boy would never walk again. He
was afflicted with tuberculosis of the
spine.
Having finished his walk, the child was
again bound to the board. in which po-
sition he will remain for another year.
Physicians at the hospital predict that
the boy will ultimately recover.

the United States is $33. in other words
the water in our mill pond stands at ~:
theirs at 49, and they want US to taKs
away the dam. Shall we not say: Nor

with this question, Sir William {. van
Horne. one of the wealthiest men in Can
ada and former president Of the Canadian
Pacific railway, in a speech few days
since put in nutshell the favorite argu-
ment of the anti-reciprocity forces of
Canada.
That argument is, in substance, that
to let down the tariff barriers between
Canada and the United States by recip-
rocal trade agreement would be to bring
the industrial and commercial condl-
tions on both sides Of the international
boundary line TO the same level. This
being granted. the Canadians are asked

reduce prosperous Canada to the sad
condition of the bankrupt and hungry
United States.
1t is a mere detail that there are some
ninety millions of people living IN the
United States who are not aware of the
fact that their country Is BANKRUPT ana
that they are hungry. The stupid ig-
norance of the Americans on TINS point
has nothing to do with the matter Inc

ment that the reciprocity agreement was

Americans realized their inferiority and
We're impelled by the desire to reach out
