TO THE NEWS SUBSCRIBERS

Postmasters have been instructed to enforce the recent ruling of the Post office Department applying to rates on newspapers, as follows:
 "The right of publishers to extend in good faith credit on subscriptions is recognized and will not be abridged, and although all subscriptions are regarded as expiring with the period for which they are obtained, nevertheless, in order to give an opportunity to secure renew als, copies of their publications will be accepted for mailing as to subscribers at the usual second, class rates of postage for period of one year from the date of aspirations. but copies sent to persons after one year from the date of the expir- ation of their subscriptions, unless such subscriptions be expressly renewed for a definite time, together with an actual payment of subscription or bona fide promise of payment, will not be accept ed at the pound rate, but will be accept ed at the transient second, class rate of one cent for each four ounces or fraction thereof, prepaid by stamps affixed"
 The above means that on all news papers sent to subscribers who are one year or more in arrears, regular postage of one cent a copy must be paid in ad- vance and postage stamps affixed, the purpose being to prevent the mails from being used to forward papers to any who are not bona tide, pa1d-up subscribers, at pound rates. Thus the publisher is obliged to pay, in advance, from week to week, 52 cents a year to the post office department for every subscriber who is year behind, and necessarily this must be added to the subscription price to delinquents. Furthermore this must necessitate delay in the transmits sion of such delinquents' papers. Sub scribers will see the adYisability, for mutual advantage, of keeping their sub. scriptions paid up to date or in advance, as the publisher has no option ill the matter,

What the Other Fellows Say

Pickles are now scheduled for a rise in price. At least that is the inference one will gather from the $6oo,ooo fire In the Heinz plant in Chicago, because that is the logical sequence in affairs of this kind.-Hartford Post.
 The White Star people are still adver! Using the luxurious features of their steamers. In view of what has happened one would suppose they would have sense enough to provide and advertise a sufficient equipment of life boats Bristol Press.
 All the male survivors who left the Titanic in boats are agreed that there were mo more women on that deck" when they took their departure. But where were the women of the Titanic's passenger list and what kept them off the deck where the boats were? Where were the steerage women, for instance Hartford Times.
 England Bros by their distribution of silver naples, are doing a practical work in the line of reforestation. The plant ing of 10000 trees means much to all this section, and the firm that has made such planting possible is to be praised for its enterprise and public spirit.-Pitts- field Eagle.
 Pray, what is $3,ooo 900 compared with the sweetening of the waters of New Haven3 Water pollution should be stopped at all hazards.-New Haven JOurnal-Courier.
 The Waterbury Republican congratu- lates the city that a vault had been pro. vided for the town records and so they were not destroyed with the town hall. Waterbury is exceptionally fortunate in that respect. A big lot of other consid- erable towns do not protect their records with any fire proof arrangement at all.- Bridgeport Standard.
 Sunday, May I2, will be Mothers day this year. Fathers day comes, later of course.-Waterbury Republican.
 Congress would like to hustle all right, but just can't seem to get down to busi- ness. And the conventions only a few weeks Bridgeport Post.

Letters From the People
Harris Hits the Mills. To the Editor of The News:

To the Editor of The News:
 A short time ago I read letter in one of our papers. about the Lawrence strikers in Mas sachusetts. I think this writer had seen a woolen mill from a distance, or heard someone talk about them. I have been there and know what am talking about. I worked in woolen mill more than a year. The mill was in Glendale, Stockbrldge, Mass. owned and operated by an indi- vidual, not a corporation. and he ran things to suit himself. had wife and two children then. 1 rented a house from my employer, as most of his help did. He was a very selfish man, and big mOgul, and owner of Glendale. l was pickerman in his mill 1 started at one dollar 8 day. had my pay raised three times in the thirteen months 1 worked there. A raise was 121a cents, so you see 1 was getting $1.3719 a day at the finish. and you had to get these 121ac raises by industry and standing in with the superintendent of the mill, and used to make overtime. I had to live, and it was up hill business at that. The boss had a store, and employees were eX- pected to patrOniZe it. He sold wood and coal to his help. He did not intend they would take away any wealth if they left his employ. Some months l had big '0' on my pay envelope not a cent coming after a long, dirty, disagreeable month. We worked eleven hours a day. There were very young children, or 10 years old, some of them working for 35 or 40 cents day waste boys, bObbin boys and some young girls in spooIing room, The State inspectors came around two or three times a year to see if children under age were work Ing. The parents and bosses were al- ways on the watch and would hide the kids in the wool bin. Fifteen minutes after the inspectors had left the mill they would all be working, and will say right here that it is the parents who are mostly to blame for child slavery. They are after that big dollar. had two girls and one was big enough to work in the mill, but you can bet I did not believe in that. 1 was poor and worked hard, but kept my children in school. There is other danger besides the danger of getting caught in the ma- chinery and losing their limbs, for these young girls have to work with every kind of boys and men and they are tempted and influenced to do wrong in many ways. I say this is a danger that every parent should look into and con- sider before putting girls or boys into mills. We know it to be wrong to de- prive them of schooling and stunt their young lives. could write much more about mill life but not to make this too lengthy I will close by saying. may God help the poor; the rich will help them selves, by the use of Labor

Republican ChairmanshIp.

A new leader is at the helm of the Republican party in this state, the SC. lection of whom was one of the big efforts at the state convention. J. Henry Roraback has long been in poli. tics as a leader of one of the factions of the state. He has shown himself a crafty politician and man of pleasing personality and succeeds one of the best party leaders the state has ever had. MT. Roraback now has the opportunity to show what he can do Tn 8 bigger field.
 The defeat of Michael Kenealy was regretted at this time, more because of the political situation, with which he was thoroughly in touch. He did not desire re election and went into the contest simply to keep down friction. He was able to keep together the fac tons In his manner of procedure and made a statewide impression by his handling of the power bestowed upon him. Whatever he did was for the party and no influence of his office was brough to bear in his own behalf or that of his friends. He has done honor to the office and had the respect of all party workers, and the loss of the chair manshlp to the party. He is entirely satisfied with the change.
 With the reins in his hands, MT. ROraback has a chance to put to good use his skill as an organizer. His knoWl- edge of politics needs no strengthening as his ability is acknowledged, and and again he has the influence which follows a good, fairminded predecessor. Norwich Bulletin.

MT. Depew at 7S

Yesterday was the birthday Shake. speare, St. George and ChaunCy M. Depew, who said that he was sorry not to be able to celebrate with the first two gentlemen. Mir. Depew was hard at work in his office until late in the after noon, when he went for an auto ride with his wife, returning home to open q pile of congratulatory tolegrams wish ing him good luck on his 18th anniver- sary.
 "The secret of longevity" said MT. Oepew, lis to keep hard at work and have Il good time also. Most of the men who do not live to be old have died as much from stopping their machinery, from leaving it unoiled and rusting be- cause they think they are old, as from any other cause. have not felt so we'll or so able to do my work for several years"
 He commented on the fear that was shown by some of his friends for birth day, saying that with him the day held nothing but pleasure and satisfaction. He was not ill the least afraid of becom- ing old he said
 "One of my friends got sc hipped on the subject of old age that for many years he has been in the habit of going to bed on his birthday" the Senator said with laugh. "Now my theory of old age is this, that while you must not give up your work you must enjoy yourself first of all. Many of my former friends have dropped out of the race, but am always making new ones. For the last 2l years a birthday dinner has been given for me by the Montauk Club of Brooklyn and this year on my 18th birthday that custom will become of age itself" The Senator spoke of the advan- tages of politics in keeping an old man "perpetually, eternally and perenially fresh" dc clariug that "the number of good fellows one meets in active politics is legion.

After all, lifeboats are not the essen tial thing for safety at sea. No one wants to use them if their use can be avoided and every ocean traveller knows that they are something of an obstruo- tiou on deck. What is wanted is an un- sinkable ship, and the real information that should be obtained from the Titanic survivors is what happened to the ship. Who investigated the damages from the iceberg collision and what did they find What bulkheads were ripped open and what held, if any?

SMITH IS ALL RIGHT.

The English ship owners and their friends have been criticising Senator Smith, chairman of the senate commit tee Investigating the Titanic disaster Ill Washington. and intima'ing that the ignorance of the Senator and the bru- tality of his methods of grilling British witnesses may result in a straining of the friendly relations between the two countries. Alfred Stead, son of the English journalist, William T. Stead. who went down with the Titanic, and who succeeds his distinguish ed father as editor of the Review of Reviews. takes a different view, and twill begin campaign to bring the British mer- chant marine up to the highest practica- ble level of security. MT. Stead is quoted as saying:
 "The newspapers tell us that Senator Smith is backwoodsman,' ignorant of all nautical affairs. do not care if he is Red Indian. His ignorance, If 1t exists, is excusable ignorance, whereas the ignorance of officers and seamen of their duties is criminal negligence. l. t Senator Smith and his colleagues drag ont all the facts they can, doing the work brutally if necessary. Judicial inquiries often elicit facts so delicately that the public is not impressed. The inquiry at Washington is of the rough and ready sort which makes everybody understand"
 Commenting on the above, the Wa terbury American observes: 1t may not. after all, be disadvantage to have the investigation conducted by land lubber. The ultimate aim of it is the information and education of land lubbers and while Senator Smith may miss some technical points he is apt to ask 8 good many fool questions which marine expert would pass oyer as automatic but which the great mass of us landlubbers who do, or may, occa- slonally go down to the sea i'll ships, would like to hear answered"
