ANOTHER SCOUT IS CANDIDATE
 FOR A HERO MEDAL.

Harry Breretoi, fourteen years old, member of the Eagle patrol of the Boy Scouts, of Canton, s. D., will be recommended to the National Court of Honor for a medal for life saving. He rescued Rowland Hunt from the Big Sioux River. Hunt and a half a dozen of boys were in the water. Hunt could not swim. He got beyond his depth and the current swept him off his feet into deeper water. At the call for help, Harry, true to the in- stincts of 8 scout, jumped into the river and swam for the unfortunate Rowland. When he reached the drowning boy, he was grasped by the arm and, as it appeared to the rest of the boys rushing up to help, drawn under by the struggles of the other boy; but when questioned upon this point Harry said, T just dived till could reach bottom and lifted Row land up so he could get breath of air. because he was too heavy for me to lift out of the water while swim ming. When I got to where could reach bottom, Benny Kennedy came up and took him off my hands. l was pretty well in then"

They will then know pretty well how to handle the calumnies- uttered by our yellow jour- nals or by the Lodges, Heyburn and Hobsons of Congress" said the edi- tor of The Independent. . He added that he had broached the subject of such a visit of American Journalists when last in Tokio, and that the Jap anese was unanimous in favoring such project.
 .sIf there is ever any trouble between the United States and~ Japan" MT Holt concluded, Fit will be because we deliberately seek it or else because public opinion in America is allowed to be kept in ignorance of the true attitude toward us of our great and long, ferbearing sister nation across the Pacific
 Hamilton Holt was born in Brook lyn, Aug. IS, 1872, and graduated from Yale, with post graduate courses 1T sociology and economies at Columbia He has been editor of the Independ. ent since 1897.

FIRST THINGS

The first English child was born in America 325 years ago, Aug. Is, 1887. It's mother was a daughter or the governor of the colony which Raleigh had sent to the coast of North Caro- lima. The baby was a girl and was named Virginia Dare.
 The first American expedition to the South Polar sea, comprising the sloops of war Vincennes and Pea cock, two tenders and store ship, Capt Charles Wilkes, U. s. N, com manding, sailed from Norfolk, Va, eighty-four years ago: Capt. Cook and Capt Bouvet, a Frenchman, had previously visited the Antarctic reg ions. Capt. Wilkes added little to the knowledge of the South Polar seas, but later added largely to geographi- cal science by his explorations of the Sacramento and Columbia rivers, Hawaii, Fiji, Samoa. the Philippines and Australia.
 The first power loom for weaving checks and pIaids was patented in the United States eighty-four years ago today by a clergyman-inventor. the Rev E. Burt, of Connecticut.
 The first scientist to advance the theory that heat is a mode of motion was Benjamin Thompson, Count Rum ford, who died ninety-eight years ago today He was born in New Hamp- shire, but on the outbreak of the Revolution went to Bavaria, where he became minister of war. He made a number of important discoveries in his researches on heat and light. The first catalogue of 1lle stars was made in 1888 by John Flamsteed, the eminent English astronomer, who was born 266 years ago today He was the first astronomer-royal of Green wich Observatory, which was built by Charles IT,, in 1875, on the summit of Flamsteed Hill, so called in honor of the scientist. His "Historia Caelestia' Is an astronomical classic.

PARTY ENDORSEMENTS

President Taft's address to the mem- abers of the Maryland Republican Edi- toriaI Association reflects more credit on his desire to be elected than upon his knowledge of American political methods.
 HeN said that presidential electors are dishonest men if they let their @hmes appear on the Republican bal fst and intend to vote for the candi- eats of another party.
 The president added: "That man =annot be in the Republican party and in the third party at the same time and should be compelled to make his selection
 But a man can be the candidate ot the Republican party and the candi- date Of some other party at the same time. and need not be compelled to make a selection.
 There is not state in the Union where S0l16 6uQOTSSL1eutS are LOI SlN- en by one party to members of the otheE
 The practice is as old as the parties are. There seems to be nothing against it.
 Nobody can get onto an electora ticket in any state without the consena of the voters of that party-their le, gal consent, the same kind of consent st the very least. that MT. Taft hal As the nominal Republican candidate
 If the Republican voters of Kansas illinois, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Califor, mia. or of any other state, want tt give an endorsement to Roosevelt, ol Wilson. by choosing electors favorable 10 Roosevelt or Wilson, they have the moral and the legal right to do so.

ASH COLLECTION

The collection of ashes at municipal charge might be made very profit able undertaking if the city should do its own collecting and use the ashes to fili-its own land.s
 But if the work is to be let out to private contractors-who must have a profit-it is difficult to see how the present system will be improved up- on.
 The ashes of Bridgeport constitute no considerable problem. They are now taken from each home once or twice a year, or oftener, in some cas- es. The inconvenience to the house holder Is trifling. The work affords a livlihood to some two score or more of men, who own a horse ands cart.
 Collection through contractor would deprive sfha These me men {. of their work and probably materially increase the cost to the. home owner
 some c1lieS, pIi1tdI1Ly lOE luO OShCA4l of contractors, have established a semi-public system of ash collection that is a nuisance of the first order. The home is required to bring the ashes, each morning. to the sidewalk Each morning the ashes are dumped into the passing ash wagon. Each morning clouds of dust go up as the ashes are dumped.
 The system is expensive. inconven- < tent and unnecessary.
 The citizens ought not to embark in ash collection unless they are ac- tually to do the work themselves al cost unless they keep their own ashes to fill their own land, the public land nor unless the collections are to be made from the cellar, not oftener thar once a week, or at longer periods when suitable containers exist.

Austrian and Hungarian people ot this section will join today, at least in spirit, in celebrating the eighty second birthday of their former sov- ereign The venerable man of sor- rows" who rules over the destinies of the joint monarchy is the oldest of the worlds monarchs. During his reign of nearly sixty-four years. the most exclusive court in the world has been the source of many tragedies and scandals that have startled Flu rope. Even now his palace is a scene of contention, owing to the attempt of the morganatic wife of Franz Fer dinand, nephew of the Emperor and heir apparent to the throne, to secure the right of succession for her chil- dren.

King of Bohemia of Dalmatia. of Croatia, of Slavonia of Galicia, of Ledomeria and of Illyria King of Jerusalem, Archduke of Aus tria, Grand Duke of Tuscany and at Cracow-these are but a part of the titles under which the simple, kindly old Emperor, bowed down by many tion in 184S.
 Francis Joseph is man of simple and almost Spartan tastes. He begins the day by bathing in icy cold water and. when his health permits. ridet daily in an. open carriage.

HAMILTON HOLT, 40, TODAY,
 SEES ANTI-JAPANESE PLOT

An American who sincerely mourn ed the death of the Japanese Emperor.
 as the passing of a personal friend
 was Hamilton Holt, the distinguished editor of the New York Independent.
 MT Holt, who. is forty years old to-
 day, has spent many years in Nippon
 and for his services in enlfghtening
 his countrymen as to the strue condi-
 tions obtaining in Japan was rewarded
 by the late Mikado with the decora-
 ton of the Order (third class) of the
 Sacred Treasure, one of the highest honors which the Japanese Emperor
 may confer upon a foreigner.
 Mir. Holt has no sympathy with Con
 gressman Hobson and other statesmen
 who have predicted war with Japan
 In the reports of the Magdalena Bay
 war scare he sees a, deep, dark con-
 spiracy to disrupt the friendly rela- .tions that have always existed be- tween the two countries since Commo- dere Perry, in 1854 signed, with Japan a treaty of commerce and friendship that opened ancient Nippon to tht world and inaugurated the era of pro- gross that marked the reign of Nut suhito.
 Tn a. recent address at the Lake Mo. f1onk Conference. MT. Holt pointed out that the United States and Japar l were on the friendliest terms until tht
 
 declared that any breach in. theil peaceful relations since that time ha: been due entirely to American agita- tors.

THE STOCK MARKET

It is often said by shrewd market observers that the best of a bull market is one which goes up without explaining itself. We are apparently in that kind of a speculative transi- ton. Back of the present level prices is a condition of liquidated business resting on rock-bed. The crop out look is still all that could be desired. Monetary supplies are ample for re- vivins industry and a conservative up- ward speculation. Were it not for politics we would probably be enjoy ing lively market today. There are good as we'll as unfavorable pos abilities in the political situation. There is not likely to be acute distur- bances from this quarter for thirty days or more. Pending such develop ment the market is likely to respond to the increasing optimism m ousi- ness circles due to the splendid agrl- cultural prospects and the rising tide of business activity.

resentations will be made, and the exhibits made will not be for the pur- pose of representation, but will be for the splendid silver cup and the cash prize which goes with it. Grange members are alive to the importance of making this exhibit and will see to it that their display will not be surpassed if it is possible to prevent. Indications point to an unusual show in this department. It is thought that the value of goods shown here will exceed $25, ,000.

HOW TO HANG PIRATES

newspaper which says great deal about politics and economics while knowing uncommonly little about those thngs-and that little not very we'll time to time scrutnizes the political situation in Bridgeport and finds nothing but scramble for offices. Nobody cares anything about right wrong, has any interest in ideals any purpose to do good work It's all mad scramble for the jobs.
 "Oh for somebody, sighs this journalistic thinker no thinker-''for who do not want oice or any enoluments.''
 In any other relation of life than the public relation the uddest philosopher knows that there no state of perfect abnegation in which of angeca attributes without hope of reward for the benefit of everybody else. D.
 The world has constructed standards, such as they They imperfect standards of conduct and acton to be sure, but they much better than at al
 One of these standards requires that "a shall do good work for good pay that he shall not betray the ployer who does not betray him.
 The curse of modern politics is that parties have largely fallen into the hands those who break the party bread and break the party faith They take salt with the people, and beay the people for their pockets for the benefit of special privilege of ths that kind They take two days pay and do tenth of day work Some times they do wore and dsspate and destroy what they were charged to protect and save
 Witness the Rosenthal murder.
 Witness the enormous campaign funds which spell ruption of the ballet.
 Witness city whose servants cannot pave it's prir- cple streets-or will not-until street railway gives it's permission.
 What is needed to correct these conditions is not order of human creatures not yet created who have abandoned all hope of office emolument " but hold office who know how and able and willing to do right, and to draw public emolument who will what they get.
 What is wanted plain, straightforward men, with ideals such such men hold to do the peoples work when they are hired by the people.
 In city like Bridgeport the work of the street rail- monopoly for instance should be done by it's servants
 The work of the city should be done by the city wants and for the city. s
 No angels will be furnished to run Connecticut. The work will be done and done in the right distant plain men, with ordinary consciences, ordinary sedshness and ordinary standards of right and wrong
 When the early governments of New England thought it best to hang pirates to the yard they didn't send out craft of paradise filled with superna1 creatures but ships manned by horny handed who believed in ordinary honesty and opposed to black flag meth | ods.
 The successors of Capt Kidd would be sovereigns of the to this day. had the work of hanging pirates been left to who worked without hope of reward any emolunent 7
 Nothing has been desired by pirates in every age political and martmeas to be left to their robberies until their suppression should be accomplished by abso- lutely perfect persons-which would be NEVER.
