The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-01-11


 Industry is the foundation of all development. From the remote past when the farmer ground his corn between the two granite stones, until his brain conceived the idea of enlisting other agencies than human muscle, and invented the mill substituting the latent powers of Nature to assist him in his enterprise industrial evolution has brought civilization up to it's present high point of achievement
 And as the fuller built his mill by the river side where he could sink his shaft and utilize the power there going to waste, so all great in dustrial centers have been built up because of the natural advantages at hand, and it is not be- littling the efforts of the worthy gentlemen of the aggressive local Board of Trade, to credit largely the rapid development and growth of our city to our own Natural resources.
 Situated as we are so closely to the Metropolis of America, with excellent railroad and water

 way transportation facilities growth came nat urally and normally, until we have reached the position of the second city in size in the state. Further progress and development depend upon how generously these industries are supported by the general public. Only a short time ago, her Royal Highness, Queen Mary of the English Court, placed an order with a local manufac- turer for ''Made in Bridgeport product. If any of the firms represented on this Industrial directory supply articles "good enough' for Queen. Mary they certainly ought to have the patronage of every man and woman who are in terested in the future development of these in dustries. When in need of any of the articles, we suggest that you insist that the tMade in Bridgeport" brand is delivered by so doing you will best serve yourself and the City of which you are unit only, but important factor in it's future development.

consin particularly THE schoolhouse has become
the focus of a large part of the community life.
The structures are used for almost any kind of
public meetings, political and otherwise, for en-
tertainments, for dramatic and debating socie-
ties, for charitable enterprises, and in particu-
lar for any kind of assembly that brings the citi-
zens-men, women and children-of the commu-
nifty together for purposes of the public good.
: School directors, county and municipal gov
ernments, state governments, have come to real
ize that the schoolhouse can be made powerful
factor in promoting the education of commu-
nifty beyond the teaching of reading, writing and
arithmetic to its youth Furthermore such a
policy makes powerfuEfrientls for the school sys-

ton of the minority report. He de,
clared that it was a plan of the in
terests to see that the votes they had
bought were delivered. In fact, he
made quite a speech, taking a few
filings at Wise. Wise got back at him
by referring to Andrews as the "jurist
from Shanghai" significant refer
ence' calculated to make the "jurist
from Shanghai squirm.
EIoquenee Wasted.
However, Andrews eloquence was
wasted The open ballot forces were
far too strong. the minority report be-
ing adopted by a vote of 1911 to 1876.
After this, the combination was I'M
beatable. -:
Cox's Action Surprise. -
~ About the only upset was in the
naming of this rules committee. The
general steering committee believed
that Cox would favor an open ballot
to the extent at least of naming a
committee the majority of whom
would be in sympathy with the open
ballot plan and so report. AS a mat
ter of fact, most if not all of these
leaders thought that Cox was with
them on this proposition, and did not
know until he actually read out the

MERCHANT MARINE GROWING AT LAST

IA q -
After years of efforts, confined mostly to ora
tory, however, TO upbuild the American mer-
chant marine, it appears that the Congress has
helped along wonderfully by the passage of the
Panama canal bill In the discussion over the
freetolls provision and Britain's protest, the
other clauses of the measure have been over
looked, but Hawaii will be interested in the re-
suits that already are coming about: The clause
assuring free passage Of the canal to American
coastwise ships, the clause giving duty-free ma
terials and equipment and that granting Amer
lean registry to fofeign-built ships when owned
by Americans has started an era OF rapid devel-
opment. The tonnage of American ships under
construction has jumped one hundred and fifty
per cent. over the figures Of a year ago. More
over, a number of foreign-built ships are being
purchased abroad and put under American reg
istry. The department of commerce and labor
believes that within two years the American mer
chant marine will be restored to its former mag
nitude
