take pleasure in adding to the vel half of the State of Connecticut.
 It is a state named for the long feature of New England and binds it into common life It ought, more than it does, to facilitate the transpor- tation of commodities from Massacnu- came here becauseSo of the great river. and the river trade in that day of small things Tas thil a daH 1mpoFdan nf great things, when there is no problem that the modern engineer cannot solve, We
 are again planning to put it to better of water for manufacturing power
 with it's preservation and improve
 ment for it's primary uses of naVlga-
 We are glad to have the opportunity of getting from this association help full suggestion and sympathy, in the
 of New England. I am glad that the people of all the Atlantic States are standing together in this body to pro the Atlantic ports. There is plenty
 of activity on the Pacific coast, in the development of the shipping business
 there They know how to hustle,
 when there is trade with Japan, or
 the Philippine Islands or Hawaii or China to attract; when there are des- erts to irrigate and Panama Canal
 
 ter. They are right in their hustling.
 It is the age of the hustler and we of the Atlantic coast must hustle too.
 Things are beginning to look as
 though we might again have an Ann erican merchant marine on the ocean.
 Every improvement of our coastal waterways helps to bring business to the great ports for foreign trade. I
 have heard of somebody who express ed his wonder that every great city had happened to have the good luck to be provided with good water ac- comm odations. The founders of cities mean We sometimes forget that of the ten great cities of the world, the United States have three, and each on a great waterway No other coun- try has more than one of the ten. we three New York is great because of her North River and her East Riv- CT and the great harbor into which they flow. Chicago is great because of the commerce of the Great Lakes ard the natural competition between rail and water Philadelphia is great But what a shame it is-what a reflection on the good sense, of our people Or of those who make laws l for them-lhat at none of these ports 1 is there any substantial foreign trade | under the American flag.
 Every improvement of our coastal 1 waterways looks to the coming back 1 it adds to the importance of the con quest.
 The State of Connecticut receives 1 this Associa tion with. open handed l fcent harbor. She is proud to show l it to you from the broad verandas of ] this hotel. May your sessions here | be the source of a new inspiration 1 Atlantic Ocean of more and more ser
 vice to the Atlantic coast.

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

The Democratic platform adopted last night will commend itself to the voters It is progressive in every particular. renewing the party's alleg- lance to such necessary legislation as xorkmen's compensation, employers liability, the initiative and referendum and municipal ownership of public utilities.
 It was determined that the Demo- cratic delegation to the Congressional convention should be solid and in- ztructed, for Lynn W. Wilson, this rnaHter having been substantially de- tern4red by the result in the primar- ies, which gave a majority Of districts, delegates and popular vote to the Will son candidacy.
 There is every prospect of 8 Demo- cratic victory all down the line. It should be a progressive victory and the Democrats assembled in state convention should see to it that the platform there adopted is progressive in every particular, and containing no planke that are not to be lived up to by the Democrats who will be en- trusted with legislative power.

sumptives-the great things that it has now undertaken to do.
 The only fault I have to find With the doctors of the state is that they have not followed closely enough the work of the sanatoria. The dispos1- tion has been to lose interest in their patients in the sanatoria, trusting to them. This trust has, I think, been justified; but while we, who have the direction of the sanatoria in hand, are not anxious for eaptious criticism of our work, we realize that there are always chances that some 1ax1ty of discipline, or errors of judgment, or minor faults of management, might escape us We know also that the medical and nursing staff will be glad to show the visiting physicians the somewhat complex, but most interest ing mechanism, of the modern sana- tociun. We know also that the pa tients are always delighted to find that their own or some other patients physician takes even pa aSS1ng interest in their desperate fight for life. Ana we know that no man with red blood in him can visit one of these state sanat toria and mot come away bet ter man. He will have a clearer per spective of life. He will have a softer heart. He will have greater pride or Connecticut. for our sake and for the sake of the patients of today, and the patients of tomorrow. for the sake of the fair fame of the state,-come ind1V1du ually ar in committees, or in a body, and help 11s make Connecticut the wise ana tender Doctor of Consumptives that she is anxious to be.

 The authorities are much worried concerning the German rulers safety. Swiss law does not permit arbitrary imprisonment of mere political sus- poets. They must first commit some actual offense. It is known that sev- eraI bitter foes of the monarchial in stitution are at large.

VERMONT ELECTION

The election in Vermont is sure index to the havoc made in the Republican party by the Roosevelt movement The Republican vote for governor showed loss of 43 per cent and the Democratic vote gain of 2 per cent
 There intense interest in the election and a gain almost 10000 in the number of votes cast.
 Of which the Democrat received 10000, of $500 191O the Republican 262OO loss of 5000 and the Progressive, 15, 700
 The same result in of proportion in Connecti- cut would reduce the Republican vote to about 5O0OO give the Progessives about 25OOO and the Democracy about 9OOOO
