Catholic Picture PdiaCS IN En9idHu'
A remarkable experiment is being
made by a priest in the North of Eng
land. He has instituted a Catholic
Cinematograph or Picture Palace IN
the town, not for a week or a few
days, but permanently. 1t serves a
treble purpose. The receipts go to
the maintenance of Catholic charities
and the clearing away of a debt on he
Church, the entertainments offered
every evening keep Catholic young
men and women away from objection
able places of entertainment, and IN
the afternoon the cinematograph as
sists in the education of the school
children, parties of whom are taken
after school hours to see a selection OF
pictures which teaches them geogra-
ply, and various industrial processes,
showing we'll known articles of con-
sumption or wear, seen in the making.
The local education authorities are
taking great interest in this last ex-
pertinent.
GTSnQ DuCUSSS UT S0StIStIS
The Grand Duchess Marie, of Lux
emburg, who is only Is years old, has
refused to sign a bill, passed by a
narrow majority of the As members OF
the Chamber of Deputies, for the
secularization of the schools OF her
Duchy. She says that OF her 25O,ooo
subjects all except two thousand are
Catholics and they want their chill
dren to receive a religious education.
She is opposed to Goddess schools
So she stands firm, and the bill can
not become a law without her sigma
ture.
Rome School of Sacred Music.-
Rome has a High School OF Sacred
Music which has just completed It's
second year. 1t prepares future choir
masters and organists, and also trains
in sacred music priests who have COM
pleted their other studies and wish
to perfect themselves in this anc
The Holy Father highly approves the
work as an important factor in carry
ing out his instructions in carrying
ing out his instructions in regard to
students, twenty-six, is comparatively
small, conditions indicate a rapid
growth. Twenty of the students are
priests. Among them are a Maronite,
a Mexican, an Armenian and a Rus
sian Pole.
Order of St. Gregory.-Gregory XVI.
founded the Order of st. Gregory the
Great in 1881, and placed it under the
great Pontiff whose name it bears. 1t
has two divisions, civil and military,
and each division is divided into four
classes, viz: Grand Cross Knights OF
the First Glass, Grand Cross Knights
of the Second Glass, Commanders n
simple Knights. The decoration is a
bifurcated or eight-pointed enameled
gold cross, in the centre of which is a
blue medallion, on which is impressed
in gold the image of st. Gregory, n
at the side of his head near the right
ear is a dove; in a circle around the
image appears in golden letters s.
Gregorius Magnus." On the e
side is the device, PRO Dec ct Prin-

 BE ENTERTAINED
Warner Bros. Fire Company Planning Big Time for
 Labor Day Guests

Bridgeport will be turned over to the fire laddies Aug. 31, Sept and 2. The Goodwill Fire Go. of Allentown, Pa.,, is going to be entertained here by the Warner Bros. fire department. These two fire companies are recog- nized as being the very topnotchers so far as thoroughness of organization and efficiency is concerned. They have wide regulations for their skill full handling of fire apparatus. There will be something like 150 guests in Bridgeport. Chief J. W. Keppy of the Warner Bros. department, and the other officers Of the organization are making plans for their entertain xonpt
 The visitors will come to Bridgeport on boat, going on special train to New York, where they will board a boat for a trip up the Sound. The Allentown band of 40 pieces will be with them and they are expected to arrive in the city about S:S0 o'clock on the afternoon of Aug. 31. The local fire laddies will meet them at the dock, with the Wheeler & Wilson band There will be a street parade and then the guests will be escorted to the Stratfield where rooms have been engaged for them. There will be a big gathering in the rooms of the Warner fire company. at the Seaside Institute. Trolley rides will be taken the next day until the afternoon when

CLIMBING OFF
 THE PEDESTAL

Mahomet besought the mountain to come to his door. 1t would not. He went to the mountain. It was a great equalization. There is greater. bals sound! Hon. E. J.. Hill, the sage of Norwalk,. inventor %of the high tariff, the traveller who discovered that Chinese live on eight cents per day each, will no longer shroud him. self from the view of the protelariat nor make tine tired workers travel to his shrine to imbibe wisdona He will bring, it to them. The sage of Norwalk wilf speak in front of the factories. Face to face he will tell his fellow citizens how necessary t is that a man should own 8 wool sbusiness before he tinkers with the wool tariff. All the crooked places will be InadE straight in these little heart to heart confessions, and the sage will promise henceforth to be good. oh. very, very good, if he can have just one more chance.
 He will take to the soap box, and meet the fellows where they live. Contrition. repentance and better works flow from him. like maple syrup from a. srnitten pancake.

actually vicious.
 His great chance to- show, to the country that he was not in any way in alliance with the Steel Trust or the Steel interests of this country was presented to him when the Steel Bill was presented to him early this week
 If he signed that Bill and thus made it law he would have given 8 staggering blow to the Steel interests that Roosevelt has cultivated so long at the peoples expense
 His signature would bring out to the country E.-> defiance of &,A aowerfu S1eef Sxssss Ass<@s.
 It would have created distinct is- sue between himself and Roosevelt.
 But he did not sign; instead of thai he vetoed the Bill.
 So that he, as well as Roosevelt is found catering to the giant trust.
 His policy of vacillation, doubt an6 uncertainty used to conciliate the Roosevelt Steel interests, is observed by the nation.
 Such conduct will sound his politfca doom.
 Because it shows his spirit unequa to meet the great overmastering is sue of whether special interests or the people shall rule our government.
 Taft's Steel veto clearly says that he believes the special interests, and moi the people have the right of way

THE SACRIFICE

''Daffy; Daffy,- come. and be killed, E runs the nursery rhyme. The. esteem ed Hartford Courant is beckoning Re- publican gubernatorial candidates with all ten fingers and every toe. These gymnastic mem bers are waving a daily whirlwlHd of invitation. Any body is welcome to the Republican nomination. pr. George H. Knightsof Salisbury, won't he please run? Will former Mayor John P. Studley of New Haven please consent to be the fatted calf? If he won't, then Judge John Il: Perry of Southport is the kind of man the party wants, or Schuyler Merritt of Stamford. or De Yer H. Warner of Bridgeport, or Attorney Phelps of Holland County. or Attorney searfs of windham County.
 The good old wheel horses are not even considered. Lieut.. Governor Blakeslee might do, "but this is a year when another kind Of a man is wanted" As for Brooker. Henney and Holcomb, they have sfdestepped not, of course as our contemporary says, through any fear of the out come.''
 2 It appears that the doctor has been tagged, and would have been iong ago. but he was in i'll health. We fear that somebody has been taking advantage of the weakness of a con valescent, and that when Dr. Knight gets his health back he will decline to tread where all the other fellows who could get the nomination over his head-if it weren't a Daffy year fear to walk.
 We compliment the Courant upon It's political accuracy. But one tiny error appears in it's story. pr. Knights strength" is not state wide. It is Dr. Knights weakness that movers the political landscape, like a thin fog on dark night.

MRS. HINCKS CALLS ON WILSON FOR HIS VIEWS ON SUFFRAGE

Following is a letter addressed by Mrs. Maud M- Hincks, president of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage as- sociation, to Hon. Woodrow Wilson, calling on him as a real progressive, to express his views on the woman suffrage question:
 Bridgeport, Conn.,, Aug. 18th, 1912. Hon. Woodrow Wilson,
 Sea Girt, New Jersey. Dear Sir
 A few days ago we sent you a tele- gram of congratulation on your nomi- nation by the Democrats of the United@ States for President of our Democracy. By this message wish ed to congratulate the party also on having chosen a man of progressive beliefs to lead them.
 We asked you to give the franchise for women your consideration.
 Can you, sir, at this time give us the results of your thought on that matter?
 There are in Connecticut alrea dy many thousands of men and women who favor giving the vote to women and who will be interested in your stand in the matter Can your faith in a real Dem ocracv march ahead of your conception of expediency? And will you not follow where your inspiration leads?
 Very respectfully yours |. MAUD M. HINCKS, President Connecticut Woman Snf frage Association.

FIRST THINGS

Prussia, the nucleos of the present German empire, first became a world power through the masterly rule of Frederick the Great, who died 126 years ago today, August r. 17S6. This great military geniuos and statesman was born just two centuries ago this year and became King of Prussia in 1740.. During his reign of forty-six years he raised his country from a minor state to a great European power. He took Silesia from Austria and kept it despite the coalition of Austria Russia and France against him.

 A we'll known millionaire society man of New York city has announced that common people have encroached so much on the social preserves at Newport and Bar Harbor- that. the better class is obliged to find some other place to locate homes, in order to escape from associations that are not conge11ial That is certainly a very serious matter, and the only sat isfactory thing about it is that the real cream of society has money enough to move and thus avoid the unpleasant complication that has aris- en.
 The millionaire who has been mak- ing public statement of his troubles very kindly admits that common peo- pie are necessary to the economic de- velopment of the world, but he de- clares that he is not compelled to have social relations with people he does not like
 Of course the common people, of whose activity he complains, are not mon. The common people, whom Aib- enough to buy fine residences at fash ionable summer resorts. There are, however, a good many Americans Whohave made lot of money, and who have social aspirations, without the prestige of ancestry and social standing, who like to be in the swim, and it evidently is very annoying to those, whose wealth was acquired at a more remote period, 10 have the newly rich try to break into the inner arls- tocratic circle.

But the inquiry will not go far enough. Police graft. and other Slit tie fellows graft does not stand alone This sort of privilege is bas- ed upon big privilege. The big graft CTS, the franchise grabbers, the great tax dodgers, the monopoly chargers of extortionate prices need the little grafters in their business. United they stand, divided, they fall" It is unreasonable to suppose that a city government, or any other kind of 8 government, can be constituted pri- marily to give powerful interests an advantage over the rest of the com munfty, and then serve the whole people efficiently
 When big grafters want something of government, they have to appeal to the little grafters to give it te them. When the little grafters want ''their bit'' as the expression goes, the big grafters cannot refuse.
 The platform upon which police graft has existed in New York fol .'rnore than forty years is supported by eminently respectable gentlemen who pray fervently on the seventh day and steal devoutly all the rest of the week. The list comprises eminent lawyers, able publicists, noted politi' clans, psuedo statesmen, judges with whiskers that inspire confidence, and a. few more of the same kind.
 But, the investigation may do some good.
