A warrant of inquiry dated 10s years today, May 29, 1906, was the authority for what has since been called the delicate investigation in- to the conduct of the Princess of Wales, afterwards Queen Caroline, the consort of George IV. of England. Ac- cusations of a most serious character had been made against the Princess by the Countess of Jersey, Lady Douglas and other persons of rank, and a committee of the privy council was charged with probing the scan daL The charges against Caroline were disproved in 1907. but the scan dal would not down. and just cen- tury ago, in 1872, another inquiry was ordered. In the following year her innocence was again established, but the unfortunate woman had not heard the last of the matter. In 1920 she

 This wish was impressed upon Pre- mier Asqufth recently by deputation of Scottish members of parliament, who sought no definite pledge for the future, but desired the government to introduce Scottish home rule bill in 1s13 Premier Asquith appears to have received these proposals with a favorable mind. and he stated the at titude of the government to be that for the benefit of English affairs as well as her own, Scotland should

way to destroy boss, or a. crooked, or corrupt politician in Washington is to destroy the crooked little bosses and politicians at home. Lorimer is type. He gets power by using money, by trading jobs, deals and selfish swindles, instead of by serving the people.
 He can get power in such way be- cause the politics at home are dom- mated by little politicians who are willing to betray the people for a few dollars. or the promise of job.
 Let us remember that Bridgeport is an important fragment of the United States. It has a population of l00,- 900 which is a thousandth of the whole population.
 When Bridgeport is politically clean the task of making the nation polit- ically clean is perceptibly effected.

CHICAGO BIRTH RATE FALLS
Less Per Thousand by One Baby for
 1910 Than for 1900.

Chicago, May 29.-It takes Chicago two years to find out what its birth rate is, and it received news yester- day, when the infant census for 1910 was announced, that the birthrate is decreasing. The city, official who fig ures up the percentages of births dis covered that~for 1910Nthe~ rate was 25.3 a thousand, as compared with 28.4 for 1900. This means that there was more than one baby less born to every 1000 persons in 1910 than. in 1900. Twenty years ago the birth rate was 30 thousand.
 The deathrate among babies, how ever. was lower. In 1910 the rate was 130 babies under 1 year old out every 1000. Ten years before that the rate was 138.

Paris, May 29-The depopulation of France continues at an alarming rate. Oficial statistics just published show that in the year 1911 there were 742, ,114 births and 776,9S3 deaths.
 Although the birth rate is diminish ing in most of the principal European countries, the French figures are re- garded as deplorable, as in all other countries the number of births exceeds the deaths. tn+
 The number of marriages in France in 1911 was S07, ,8SS, a slight increase over 1910.
 The births are the lowest number ever recorded
 On the other hand, France compares favorably with other countries in mar riages.

BIG BOSS SUM OF LITTLE BOSSES

There is an intimate connection be- tween the laws of nation and the prosperity of a nation. Law may make for the concentration of wealth despoil the masses and make multi millionaires of the few. There is an intimate relation between the govern ment of a people and the prosperity of a people. The making of government begins at home. If the government at home is selfish, it will do its share to send men away from home who are selfish.
 The Lorimers, and the Baileys are the ,am obtained when many little politicians of the same stripe pool their resources and add their in- nuences together.
 The quickest way to make govern ment better in Washington is to make 1t better in Bridgeport. The surest

And when the Nation shall sit in tr- sul1ied garments of liberty, with justice upon her forehead, love in her eyes, and truth upon her lips, she shall not forget those whose blood gave vital currents to her heart, and whose life given to her, shall live with her life till time shall be no more.
 Every mountain and hill shall have its treasured name, every river shall keep some solemn tide, every valley and every lake shall keep its honored register; and till the mountains are worn out, and the rivers forget to flow, till the clouds are weary of replenishing springs, and the springs forget to gush, and the rills to sing, shall their names be kept fresh with reverent honors, which are inscribed upon the book of National Remembrance"
