B. F. Perry, addressing The Bridge port Telegram. gives a number of sound reasons against the sale of the Bridgeport Public library building. and the removal of the institution to . site on Golden HlH. He says:
 | ln the winter the hill Is icy and many persons. especially elderly ones, would not dare risk the trip from Main street.
 2. In the summer, nothing Is more tiresome and exhausting, than climb ing up hill with the mercury around Q degrees.

Which leads us to the attitude of The Hartford Courant on the propos- ed excise tax, which has been report ed by the House Committee on Ways and Means.
 Naturally our esteemed contempo- rary is opposed to the bill and oppos- ed to the tax. We knew that before
 MT. Underwood, in his report, 'di- rects attention to the fact that the national revenues are obtained by tax es upon consumption, and that under such taxes wealth necessarily escapes its fair share of the burden.

as principals and to exercise all the powers of principals.
 The recall-not for judges only- for all public servants is a means by which the people take over a right which every other employer has THE RIGHT OF DISCHARGING AT WILL THE FAITHLESS ENIPLOYE.
 The initiative and referendum are powers of a like purpose. They pre- vent the SERVANT from taking on the airs of MASTER.
 They remove from representative bodies that portion of the power of agency by which they bind the sov- ereign regardless of the sovereign will.
 The three powers taken together are regarded as pretty certain to make representative bodies really represen- tative, and judges INTERPRETERS OF THE LAW instead of the SU- PRENIE LEGISLATORS of the land.
 Expert opinion is that the new powers will not need to be much used. Their presence will after a little time be sufficient to get the kind of ser vice the people want, and are boun d to have.
 The recall may bring home a leg islator in the midst of his ignorant, or malicious, betrayal of his master. The referendum will heal his sins of commission.
 The initiative will mend his offenses of omission.
 When judges and other legislators know that the people can officially express the sovereign will, they will have less difficulty in ascertaining what it is than they have now, and will be much more reluctant to defy 1t than they now are.

THE ST. PATRICK'S DAY BANQUET

earliest years and that it's history can not be intelligently written without taking into account their vast services and heroic deeds. All discussions of the accomplishments of men tend too much to the exaltation of those who stood conspicuously above the mass of their fellows in some of the func- tions of leadership. Too little is said about the unknown masses of those feared and accomplished nightly.
 To the faithful members of this un- known and unsung collectivity Dr. Coyle paid his tribute, recognizing the builders of railroads, the diggers of tunnels and the rearers of sky scrap CTS as much heroes in the strife as those who fought, or died, on battle field.
 One of the promising signs of the times is the decreasing weight that is given in the minds of men to deeds of valor in war, and the largely in creasing appreciation that is granted to those who struggle and accomplish in the pursuits of peace.
 It was a merit in Dr. Coyle's re- marks that he did not entirely exalt the Irishmen who have help Irishmen who have assisted in creat- ing the nations wealth in men and materials.

THE END OF THE REGENCY.

Chief Justice Cullen, of the New York Court of Appeals, at the Univer- sity Club dinner, Brooklyn, March 1, complains that the people are seek ing the recall of judges, instead of procuring the legislation in detail which would remedy the evils that are complained against.
 Addressing himself particularly to the complaint of the attitude of courts in handling damage suits of employees for injuries received in their employ ment, Judge Cullen says that a single statute of three sentences would be enough to repeal the remedy of fellow servant, assumption of risk, and con- tributory negligence.
 Judge Cullen overlooks the circum- stance that the recall is for the dis charge of other public servants than judges. He does not perceive that the people have come to look upon their and too obedient to special influences in the state.
 TOO long tho court has said that the legislature must give the remedy and the legislature has pointed an &C., cusing finger at 8 court.
 Too frequently the people have conquered legislature, compelling it to pass some remedial act in three sentences or more, only to have the mandate undone by a half dozen judges sitting as a Supreme court.
 At last the people have decided not to have a fight every time they give an order.
 They perceive that the defect in the se>vice is that by reason of the diffi- culties of discharging them the ser- wants have come to regard themselves

The most valuable minds are those which intelligently present the arguments leading to the adoption of socially useful things. The second most useful minds are those which present intelligent opposition to the Introduction of useful changes.

DEAFNESS, HEAD NOISES New Book on New method- How to Recover Hearing Without Drugs or
 Electric Devices Message Of Hope and Joy to
 All Afflicted Persons

There is hope of a well-based kind which should bring joy and ultimate contentment to multitudes of persons who have been troubled for years with deafness or head-noises.
 Dr. Coutant, an able specialist. has evolved newly perfected method for treating cases where the hearing is not perfect or where the sufferer is harass- ed by ringing, roaring. bazzing or other disagreeable noises in the head. It ap- pears that about 95 out of every hun dred cases are from causes amenable to proper treatment.
 Dr. Coutant does not advocate the use of drugs or electricity. He relies chiefly upon cooperating with Nature in bringing about speedy and efectu- al cure of morbid aural conditions, Re markable cures are reported. many of them being in the cases of deafness that had existed for about 20 to 40 years. With the description given In his newly published book. the learned docto provides a long series of letters, written by persons WI had been given up as hopeless. and who were speedily cured at home without loss of time and without inconvenience by Dr. C0utant'n natural home method
 Anyone who is interested can writo to a dozen or a hundred of the persons who, not long ago. were victims of deafness or head-noises (or both, and who are now delighted to proclaim themselves as marvellously benefited or completely cured.
 Dr. .Coutant is not one of the ifre- sponsible quacks. of which there ia such large number. but is reput- able. responsible. licentiate. practising physician with a third of a century's active experience.
 The doctor believes there are many who arc troubled with dea1nes eue.. who mIgnI be permanently rreea -T0sa their ina ability to hear and from tin nitus (noisesp if they would do as oth- CTS have successfully done. merely fol- lowing the advice given.

BIG CLASS FOR ANNAPOLIS.
Four Hundred Midshipmen to Be
Admitted to Academy This Year.

About 400 midshipmen will be admitted
to the Naval Academy this year and will
constitute the last but one of the double
classes to be admitted under special leg
islation enacted to provide for deficiencies
in the naval personnel. These midship-
men include those nominated by sena-
tors and representatives and the seven
appointed by the President lat large,
contingent on their qualifying at the en-
trance examination. The seven presiden-
tial appointments usually are restricted
to the sons Of officers of the Army. Navy
and Marine Corps as determined by a
competitive examination.
Preparations are being made for the
entrance examinations of all candidates
with view to having those who qualify
enter the academy in July next. II is
estimated that it costs the government
SIS, 1861 to carry each midshipman to
graduation on the basis of SEQ midship-
men in the academy and $50 graduates
each year.
Whether the existing practice of al
lowing each member of Congress to ap-
point two midshipmen q year shall con-
tinue beyond the year 1919 will depend
on the action of Congress in the matter
of new naval construction. The mainte-
nance of the fleet at its present standard.
it is claimed, will make it necessary to
continue the present average output OF
officers from the naval school, but it is
admitted that fewer officers will be re-
auired if there is any radical reduction
in the number-of new warships.
