A REPUBLICAN
 WOOL TARIFF BILL
RoStOu Herald.)

Representative Hill of Connecticut, the author Of the new Republican wool and woolen bill offered as an alternative to the Underwood bill is an able and vigorous business man, but he does not profess to be an ex- pert on wool manufacturing, and his bill does not represent the views or interests of New England manufac- turers. To some of MT. Hi,ls ideas Republican Senators are known to be utterly opposed. In the first place, Mr. Hill will find trouble in the cir constance that his proposed rate of IS cents a pound on the secured contents of raw wool falls below the expecta- tion and demand of far western wool growers. They have declared that they needed 25 cents a pound, and that 20 cents was the minimum of safety to their industry. Senators and Rep- resentatives from western wool grow ing States are already up in arms against MT. Hi,Ps proposal.
 Though New Eneland wool manufac- turers are prepared for @ reduction i~ the protective duties on woolen and worsted fabrics, along the line sug- gested in the tariff board report, the are not likely to approve all of the

sentence was commuted to fifteen years in prison. Later he was releas- ed on the payment of a fine of $125, ,0O0 MT. Hammond considered that being a reformer in South Africa was too ex- pensive, and went to London, later re- turning to the Limited States. Even to this day, he says, he occasionally has nightmare in which he sees himself swinging on the gallows that old Oom Paul Kruger had built for his especial accommodation.
 MT. Hammond is on a friendly foot ing with all the rulers and kings of the earth, including King George of England, whose coronation he attend ed as the special ambassador of the United States by appointment of his old college chum, sBill'' Taft; the Czar of Russia, who a few years ago summoned him to St. Petersburg to suggest plans for the development Of the gold mines of Russia and Siberia; J. Pierpont Morgan, the King of Rel gium, the Guggenheims and other crowned and uncrowned rulers.
 MT. Hammond's voting home is at Gloucester, Mass, but he spends much of his time in Washington, where the Hammond home is one of the sights of the city, and also has an office in New York. His son, John Hays IT,, is an inventor and is now at work on a torpedo to be guided by wireless waves, which he expects to revolu- tioniZe naval warfare.

men on the beats.
 M. Lepine's election as an academi- elan, which took place only a few weeks ago. was due to his labors In the sociological field, and especially to his practical and successful work in the reclamation of the fallen sis terhood of the City of Light. Several years ago the Prefect received 30000 as a gift from woman to whom he had restored a lost and erring son. This money he used to create the ma. chinery of an organization for lifting the women of the streets from the gutters of depravity to a position of usefulness in the world. M. Georges Clemenceau. former Premier of France. and other distinguished men joined in the product, and for long it was car. ried on so secretly that none knew of the existence of the organization but it's officials and those who were assisted by it's activities.
 The society, working along lines formulated by M. Lepine, has re- claimed over 600 women, and it is stated that less than two score have relapsed into their former condition Only about $1O000 of the fund has been expended. so that this human reclamation project has been operated at cost of less than $20 for each woman.

CONNECTICUT SENATORS NOT HYPOCRIIEs

The Stephenson methods are TO new things in Connecticut. They are so common here that the state has never managed to procure so much as an official investigation which we take it indicates more sor- rowful condition than that existing in a state where the money is used, but not without the creation of such a scandal as compels a legislative probe and laws for remedy.
 The state of Wisconsin investigated the expenditures of Senator Stephen son. The Connecticut General As sembly never made the slightest ef- fort to investigate the expenditures of MT. Goodwin by which Senator Mo- Lean profited largely, if indirectly.
 Upon the whole we congratulate Connecticut senators upon their votes for Stephenson. They have not added hypocrisy to their other limi- tations.

Some of the most striking characters in Dickens books those who do evil that good may come.
 Little Nel1s old grandfather salved his conscience with the thought that all he did for her sake.
 He has many propotypes.
 It has been long accepted that to be shrewd in bus that you must be able to get the best of fellownan that it is not considered wrong.
 "A sharp trader'' is another namc for who will over-reach without any twinges of conscience
 To use knowledge of future rises in value and buy property at low figure is of every day occurrence
 To know that certain stocks going higher and buy them in at low price is "good business''
 Among the little crimes society has to shoulder Is the betrayal of the secrets of others.
 Not secrets that have been conded but secrets that have been discovered.
 One know had friend that having a heart-breakng experience with her husband She knew that her friend suffering She wished that she might comfort her But though there mutual friend who would probably be able to tell her she would not ask to know her friends secret.
 I afraid,'' she said 'sthat I might start some gossip by even making the inquiry.''
 That is what call loyalty. It is what try to teach my children to feel towards their friends.
 It is worth while to hold the same attitude to your enemies if you have any.
 Not for their sakes half so much as your own
 If you loyal to your friends, to your family, to your business associates and to your ideals of fe you will not have to stretch your conscience out of all blance to that which an honest should possess.

HIGH COST OF SENATE SEATS
CNew Britain Herald.)

CNew Britain Herald.)
 Senator Stephenson will keep his seat in the United States Senate; Senator Lorimer will know about his tenure of office within the next month or two.
 They used to tell the story of a little boy who walked up to the Senate doorkeeper and inquired, Say Mister how much does it cost to get in here?"
 With grim humor that grizzled cynic is said to have replied: 'I don't know, son; there's Senator Carter over there, you'd better ask him about it."
 And the price has gone up, like the cost of most everything else, since the Montana Senator paid his initia tfon fee. It is believed to have cost Senator Stephenson $107, ,000.
 If this thing keeps up how much is it going to stand a man who wants a. chance of serving the people, at ST. 500 per annum?
 The seating of Senator Stephenson need not discourage those who would abolish the millionaire club" effect of the upper house and make it truly legislative body. Ten years ago such charges were not even investigated Now the purchaser. at least has to stand for some undesirable publicity.

GAINS FOR EQUAL FRANCHISE

ceived an ostensible set back. When their bill granting the franchise to a million women came up for a sec- ond reading it was defeated by 222 ro POS votes.
 A year ago, when a similar bill came up, it was put through second reading 255 to S8 votes.
 But the probability is that the vote represents a substantial gain. The vote a year ago was pro forma. The measure was never heard of more. But the vote of Thursday was a real that the English women are on the verge of a victory.

gave their first demonstration of so- called spirit power The old Fox homestead, where Kate and Margaret ta Fox first entered into their alleg- ed communication with spirits, was long a mecca for the faithful, who read, over the door of the two-story frame house, this inscription: Spirit ua,ism Originated March 31, 184S, in this House. Following the mediumis- tic claims of the Fox sisters, Spiritual ism spread over the world, and in the United States especially the cult gain ed a strong hold. Societies were es- tablished in various cities to propa- gate the new faith, and each organi- zation included one or more persons claiming mediumistic power. Sever al towns scattered over the country were populated entirely by Spiritual ists. One of the most important of these centers was Liberal, Mo-, found ed by the late G. H. Walser, a dis tinguished criminal lawyer.

SHOPMEN ASK MORE
Demand for IS Per Cent. Raise Put in to New Haven Road Man
 aUement

New Haven. March 30-The shop em- ployes of the New Haven road have now asked the company to consider an increase in their wages of 15 pei cent. The shop men of the system number approxima tely 5000. The members of this union received their last increase in wages in 1907
 This request for an increase in wages by these men follows the recent demand of the engineers. It is be- lieved that the situation may Become serious to certain extent, as fire men of the company, numbering about 1900 and the telegraphers. who mum. Der 1,500. are also considering making demand on the road for more wages. Both of the latter unions received in- creases in 1910, which caused an in- crease in the expenditure of the roads operating department set at $1,536, ,106.
 As is usual with the negotiations between the road and it's employees, little is given out to the public con- cerning the matter. Of late the road management has been in continual conference with one or more of the employees unions and the submission of new demands has caused very lit- tie talk and comment among the men.

THE REPRESENTATIVE PRIMARY SYSTEM

De Yer H. Warmers headship of the Republican organization in Bridgeport was confirmed in Thurs days primaries, when his forces, im- uaediately directed by Messrs. King ana L.avery, easily cleaned up the 1le1e1ates to the town and city con- yention-
 Contests existed in five districts. The machine forces cast in these dis tricts but 634 votes, which neverthe- less was three or four times the vote cast by the opposition.
 The Republican party in Bridgeport contains something like 5000 voters. Had there been contest in all dis tricts. and had the vote of MT. War ner's organization been extended in the same ratio as it appeared in five districts. it would have been repre- sented by less than 1,500 votes, Or one-sixth of the total Republican vote
 To such a low estate has the pri- mary system fallen in Bridgeport, that .by far the larger proportion of the voters prefer to have nothing to do with them, the ordinary man sharing the belief that the cards are stacked, and that trickery, gross self interest and corruption are the foundation of organization methods.
 Thursdays primaries were not free from the usual hint of foul dealing.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-03-30

more ballots were found than there were persons who voted.
 Less than 1000 Republican voters have chosen 36 delegates, who will perform for the 5000 Republicans of Bridgeport such important functions as sending delegates to the state con- vention, who will select delegates to the national convention and deter mine the government of the party in the state and nation.
 These 36 delegates may even hold over for the purpose of selecting ser.- ators and representatives, and choos- ing delegates to nominate a gover- nor and other state officers.
 The need for DIRECT PRIMARIES is crying. The Republican party is not properly represented under it's ex- isting rules.
 It is no wonder that the Republican administration which holds office in Bridgeport represents little more than one-sixth of the total Repub- lican vote.
 MT. Warner has built wonderful ly compact and we'll disciplined or ganization. It contains, however a vital defect. It is so compact and ADVERTISEMENT that in the next election something like another 1000 Republicans may be expected to leave their party, and cast their votes for candidates who are not Republi- can candidates

''The Children of the Nation, and the Foes to Moral Purity, will be his theme at the Peoples Church tomor- row evening at 7:30. Forty million of our population are under age and ex- posed to the subtle and virulent in- f1uences of vicious literature and salacious pictures.

Connecticuts two senators voted to keep Uncle Ike Stephenson in his seat They were among 40 sena- tors who held that the expenditure of $1o7,000 to secure an election is not enough to taint a senator's seat with fraud, even when the evidence shows a grossness of expenditure in- consistent with any other theory.
 That Brandegee and Mclean should have voted any other way would be too much to expect. They owe their jobs to political organization whose strength is founded in the liberal use of money and the direct corruption of voters in the primaries and at the polls.
 The last Republican candidate for Governor put in an expense account which upon its face could not endure the test imposed by the corrupt prac. tices act.

details of MT. Hills bill or all of his methods. It will develop in the course of the debate that the apparent re- duction in the wool duty to a basis of IS cents a clean pound is in effect an increase and not a lowering of the actual duty paid on certain important wools that enter largely into New England manufacturing This is not what Congress and the country have been encouraged to believe. More over, expert opinion here will certainly hold MT. Hills scheme to assess com pensatory duties only on the wool con- tents of manufactured goods, and to grant a drawback of 99 per cent of the duties on carpet wools, to be inn practicable, however good the motive.
