 Our esteemed contemporary The Hartford Post deservingly says of the new chairman:

 He worked in the American and Hockanum mills of Rockville as bob- bin boy. spinner and weaver, and la ter became shipping clerk and sales man for the Began Manufacturing Co.

 One of the honors of the everyday life of Bridgeport is the spectacle of the crowded trolley cars, during the busy periods of early morning, noon, and evening, with signs boldly pro- hibiting passengers from riding on running boards, with passengers as boldly clinging to the running boards reading the signs and smiling grim1y at the impotent effect. The rules of the Public Utilities Commission, like grandmother's pie crust, were made to be broken.

NEW DEMOCRATIC LEADER

In every office of public trust to which he has been chosen he has demon- strated his fitness; and his absolute freedom from those entangling alH- ances which often render public servant of little value to those whom he is supposed to represent has been most marked MT. Forster did not seek the place; it sought him. A majority of the committe evidently had determined on a change in the headship of the committee and hav- ing determined we feel that a better choice could not have been made. Mr.
 Comstock did good work two years ago in directing the affairs of the committee when Governor Baldwin was elected and the vote of thanks unanimously rendered him was well deserved. The fact that he was not again chosen is no reflection upon his e<;iIity. It simply means that in the progress of events the committee felt ;7st a change was desirable and that a younger man would instiIl more en- thusiasn into the rank and file of the Democracy. Fortunately MT. Forster represents the progressive element in his party which is daily assuming as- tendency in the councils of the party throughout the nation.

FLOWERS AT FUNERALS.
 (Hartford Post.)

Rev. Walter Shanley, of Danbury one of the best known priests in the state and a man known to watch very closely over the interests of the peo- pie of his parish, recently issued an edict against the bringing of flowers into his church as concomitants of funeral services. Yesterday he noti fled his people that the use of flowers at funerals at all would be against his wishes and that he would refuse to permit them to be taken into Catholic cemeteries under his jurisdiction
 Father Shanley's decision is not ta- Ken through prejudice towards flow CTS but is based upon sound econom- 1cs He declares, and most people will sustain his declaration that floral dis plays at funerals cause too much of a drain on the pocketbook of the av- funeral wreath or bouquet expressing sincere affection or respect for the dead it is more often a. compulsory contribution to custom. But even when the flowers are a gift of affec- ton, they are a severe drain upon the purse of the average person. Faith CT Shanley points out that all too fre- quently people buy flowers for funerals and deprive themselves of necessary comforts. Not only that. but they go into debt for flowers, or their pur- chase makes the buyer contract other debts that are not paid for months and sometimes not at all. He very naturally deduces from this that the giving of flowers for funeral purposes is not always an act of fine sentiment and. uplifting influence, but that in these days it has become one of aI- most exactly the opposite tendency
 Not long ago woman sent a. mag nificent wreath to the funeral of a relative. Her sole object was to out do in the beauty and ma agntfcence of her gift every other relative Or friend who should give flowers. She had not been in the deceased persons house for months nor had she come forward to do any kindly service when the ill., health of her relative made such a ser vice necessarily. Her gift under the circJ1I1S tanceS was a mOckery of a sentiment which in it's ma ture is among the finest, Not only that but this woman was almost notorious for the manner in which sine had run up bills for household expenses and then resorted to the meanest sort Of trick cry to beat" her creditors out Of their money.
 Generous impulses as we'll as a de- sire to OutdO others, real affection and sincere respect are. of course thu laa-

A CONGRESSMAN WHO RICHLY MERITS REELECTION

New Haven county, comprising the new third congressional district, is witnessing the opening of a. congress sional campaign that promises to be replete with interest to voters throughout the state. John e. Til son, up to this year fcongressnan-a at large, has been nominated by the Re publicans against Congressman Thos. g L. Reilly, of Meriden, who represent ed the district in the last session of Congress.
 While the campaign undoubtedly will be bitterly fought, there should be no doubt as to the outcome. Con gressman Reilly should be, and, be- yond a question of doubt, will be re- turned to Congress by a big major ity.
 His reelection is merited. His record in his brief. time at Washing ton so far overshadows that of his opponent in much longer period that it would be an injustice to his opponent to draw a comparison
 Congressman Reilly went to Wash ington to represent the people of his district. He did this well and did more He served the people of the country at large by his participation in the Democrats earnest fight to overthrow existing tariff laws that are a blight to the average American, ev- en the Republican platform took cog nizance of this when it declared for revision downward.
 His record in the interest of the
  won him a warm place in the heart of federal employees throughout the country. MT. Reilly, by dint of per sonal endeavor, secured the passage of a bill limiting the postal employees labor to an eight hour day not to extend over a period of ten hours. This is a measure for which the clerks fought long and hard, and it was mainly through MT. Rei1ly's per sonaI efforts that the legislation was enacted into law.
 To go into MT. ReilIy's record would require more space than is available. It would be merely rep etition of the statement that on every vote, he was on the side that rep resented the interests and welfare of the great mass of the common people.
 Of especial interest in Bridgeport was MT. Reil1y's attack on Congress- man E. J. Hill, than whom there is no greater stand patter'' and "bluf- fer in the House. For years his statistics and more sta tistics had had the House by the ears. Mr. Reilly went after Hill hammer and tongs and in warm debate, showed clear ly what folks at home knew-that MT Hill was mainly figures and Bluff"
 Congressman Reilly will be return ed to Congress. And the proha bi1- ities are that he will not be a lone Democrat in the Connecticut deIega- ton this year.
