own government may find itself in a similar situation, and not only com pelled to treat with the workers, but requesting the privilege of doing so. as Premier Asquith did yesterday.
 The organization of Labor has pro- ceeded in this country along the same course which it pursued in Europe. The evolution of labor methods is in the same direction.
 Many labor unions are internation- al in extent. It would be strange if certain unity of purpose, method and action did not exist among them.
 There are serious reasons for SUD- posing that the course of things in the United States may be even less smooth than in Europe. There seems to be among the proprietary classes in this country an aversion to looking the truth in the face, and even hatred of anybody who at- tempts to show the truth, without knowledge of which there can be no intelligent conformation of conditions.

BRIDGEPoRTs TURN NOW.
(Hartford Times.)


 In Bridgeport, where new attention has been called to the social evil since the closing of number of resorts in Hartford compelled their inmates to seek new quarters, someone has dis covered all over again Section 1918 of the per'sad Statues Of 1902. This was ment1oned-with several others--by this taper during the, recent local distur- bance. but curiously failed to receive much attention from those most ac- tive in invoking another part of the law. It is the section which deals what are delicately called immoral purposes, and it provides for such own- er or lessee penalty of not more than $500 or imprisonment for not more than six months. It was prob ably believed that this would appeal to the pocket nerve, and seems to be the feeling in Bridgeport now. One paper suggests that printing the names of those who own buildings so used would have a wholesome effect, and it believes it would also cause some Surprise.''
 The truth is that the present law is more explicit and more far-reaching than many people believe It is not usually enforced because the police of every city are convinced that its en- forcement causes more harm than ex- ists otherwise. In other words the cOn0lflon With which the law attempts to deal is one which has never yet been wholly removed in any society at any time. It can be regulated and limited and that is all. Tt can be linn ited in various ways, but no one who really knows facts ignores the experi- ence of generations. or believes that any law can accomplish more than partial control of situation that is full of difficulty and danger.
 This will be the case until all men and women control all their incina- tions in conformity with prudence and conviction; and that period will not come for a good many generations yet Cities will still attempt from time to time to do by force what can not be accomplished in that way. Perhaps it is Bridgeport's turn now. Yet it

A FINE OLD CITY'S PLIGHT.
(N. H. Journal-Courier. )

(N. Ii. JOurnal-COurler.)
 Hartford seems to be facing insist or big, outlays of money for city im- provements something like that which New Haven has before it in the. call a ieW months ago for a big bond issue Tor similar public Improvements. And so extensive is the call in Hartford that the Times is aroused to ask Hart ford to sit up and take it's bearings and consider as to where it is drift ing and especially so in view of the fact that the new calls for big sums Of cash are, in addition to the regu- lar city expenditures for departments expenditures which must be made anyhow. The Times remarks with point and vigor Hartford is likely to have a chance to vote away just as much money as it likes. Apart from the proposition to add $800,000 or $1.- 100000 to the cost of the municipal building it will be invited to spend an indeterminate number of hundreds of thousands for a high sc1lool or high schools, with the chance that one will turn out to be a technical high school, although the voters have refused that at a former election.
 For minor matters we have now an application for an appropriation tion that goes with the big east side sewer. For that project. $200,000 was appropriated. From the report to the council Monday it seems that when the sewer is finished about $28,000 will be left to apply to the pumping sta- tion. It is estimated that this will cost $75,000, so an additional $50,0o0 is desired. The park board would like $40,000 to erect a pavilion in Colt park. The street board would like $50,000 to cover in a part of Gully brook. And so it goes
 The list is by no means exhausted, but most of the other items are small CT. There are enough here and in sight to make any thoughtful citizen hesitate over voting for any extra ex- penditure unless he is convinced of its actual present necessity"
 New Haven thought it best to defer it's proposed bond issue subject to a later period, but it is questionable after all if it would not have been wiser for the city to have shouldered the proposed debt and proceeded to make. the Improvements asked for, as most of them were desirable and need f11I

Message Of Hope and Joy in
 All Afflicted Persons

There Is hope of well-based kind which should bring joy and ultimate eontentment to muititudes of persons who have been troubled for years with deafness or head noises.
 Dr. Coutant. an able specialist. has evolved a newly perfected method for treating cases where the hearing is not perfect or where the sufferer fs harass- cd by ringing. roaring. buzzing or other disagreeable noises in the head. 1t ap- pears that about 95 out of every hun dred cases are from causes amenable to proper treatment
 Dr. Coutant does not advocate tho use of drugs or electricity. He relies chiefly upon cooperating with NaturD In bringing about speedy and enectu- &i cure of morbid aural conditions. Re. marka ble cures are reported. many of them being in the cases of deafness that had existed for ab0ut 20 to 40s years. With the description given in his newly published book. the learned docto provides . long series of letters. written by per-ons vi had been given up ae hopeless. and who were speedily cured tt home without loss of time and without inconvenience by Dr. Coutant's natural home method.
 Anyone who is interested eau wftto to dozen or a hundred of the persons who. not long ago, were victims of deafness or head-noises tor both, and who are now delighted to proclaim themselves as marvellously benefited or completely cured,
 Dr. Coutant is not one of the irre. sponsible quacks. of which there ts such large number. but is reput- able. responsible, iicentiate. practising physician with a third of century's active experience. --rr

others in that day did to dangers of starvation and death at the hands of savages.
 Monarchs once feared the interdict as they feared nothing else, King John yielded up vastly of his prerog- atives to he restored to the good graces of the church. More than one emperor was glad to do penance to come into the fold, after he had been driven out.
 But in these later days the rite has lost it's force. The person ex-com : municated suffers little in the secular sense. What is the reason? Per haps the power was abused. Per- haps the growth of many creeds has had its effect. Perhaps the world looks at life in broader way than it used to.
