HILLS PRESS AGENT

Congressman Hill has versatile press agent, who .elevates him, purely in printers ink, to the loftiest posi- tions, and displays him in the noblest and most patriotic attitude. Up goes the curtain, or rather out comes the newspaper, in which our press agents best work is done, and there is the sage of Norwalk in a pose that would make Washington envious. and fill the soul of Jefferson with ran cor.
 With copy of schedule K, in one hand. his feet upon the Norwa1k Woolen mills factory, and a tight grip upon his job, the congressman is displayed in an enchanting man ner.
 Yesterday, or the day before, the wool bill-not schedule K, in which the Congressman upset all his own previous notions about the tariff, was advertised as the palladium of Re publican hope. Republicans never theless. whether insurgents or stand patters, seemed to struggle along with other bills, preferring meas ure perhaps less intimately associated with the sordid processes of woo. manufacture and profit taking, than the congressman's
 But lately, we are told that if Taft is reelected. the sage of Norwalk will be chosen to the head of the ways and meaus committee of Con gress, an advertisement that betrays the reclxIessness of press agents and their devotion to the job. If the country should believe that story, Taft would be more surely defeated than he is now.
 The truth about MT. Hill will never be learned from his. press agent.
 He was stand batter of stand patters, a tiny statue in the niche of Joe Cannon's temple. Joe seemed to totter and Hill quit him cold. None so anti-Cannon as he. just before the crash.
 For this came the coolness of his former associates. He never had earned the friendship of the progres- sives, so there he sits, a man who has outstayed his welcome, ignored by portion of his party and despised by another portion.
 Occasionally Representative Reilly takes a casual bat at him. Once in a while a press agent tells a tale of glory made of dream stuff. That is all.

THE HUGE EXPRESS GRAFT

The report of the Interstate Com merce commission on the express mo- nopoIy sets forth that while these companies are capitalized at $106,- 000, ,000 they represent an actual iE- vestnent of only $7,o00,000.
 This shows that the express com panies charge about fifteen times as much as would be necessary to give them a profit on their actual money invested, and that is just about the size of their graft. They get 45 cents for carrying package they should they would have to carry it for if il were not for their partnership with the Republican party.

the day of sails has vanished. AL most has the day of steam vanished from marine propulsion. The engine of the future will be an internal com- bustion engine. The ships of the fu- ture will be driven by iron monsters, of the same type as the little engines in the power boaeS in Bridgeport har- Dor.
 < The sea faring life oS the future will demand two elements for eff ciency. The first will consist in that custom which makes men fearless of the water, even in it's angry mood, which makes them love the water.
 The second element will consist in familiarity with the Nmechanisms which go into modern navigation, of which the internal combustion engine will be the chief.
 Under these conditions the yacht clubs of Bridgeport are an excellent training school for the navy of the future. They are training a group Of ingenious men, mecnanlcdIly bent, who love the sea, and who will rise, a competent guard for the nation, in the event of war requiring naval defense.
 The Commodore Henry A. Bishop cup. which was awarded. Thursday evening. to Pengue Bros, is offered to stimulate competition in the build ing of power boats. The winning boat in this case. was not only man ned, but built. by these talented brothers. Other boats that partici- pated in the race were manned, as we'll as built by their owners. So long as every American sea- port contains body of men who can build a seaworthy craft, set her engines, and themselves drive her winning over lengthy course, there l is no fear that America, when ocea-

man now in public life. If the party has needed to be reformed, he more than anyone else has been able to re- form it. If there have been weak nesses, he more than anyone else could have strengthened it, for not only in the Republican party coun- cils of his own state but also in the nation has he stood high.
 Now, however, his plans at Chicago fail to carry. He suffers defeat and how does he take it. He roars like a mad bull and chafes like gored OK He cries t"Thief," but just as soon as he has uttered the cry of Thief" hs deliberately plots to steal the electoral votes of states where the primary vote was for him, maintaining that inas- much as the primary was for him, he therefore is entitled to the vote in the electoral college. On the same basis other candidates would be entitled to the votes of their states in the cleo toral college because the primary vote was for them originally, such as La Toilette in wisconsin and CumminS in Iowa.
 Now that he has been turned down he blurts about the crooked political len nominations. Well did Clinton N. Howard in the National Prohibit ton Convention say regarding him, '.Posing as the Thou-shal alt-not-steal candidate, he brazenly boasts that he took the Isthmus of Panama from Co., lombia and let Congress talk about it afterwards a taking which seems to us mighty near stealing and cer- tainly mighty inconsistent But this man Roosevelt is nothing if not incon- sistent; a man who when high in the Councils of the Republican party could see nothing but good in the party while he was in office; a man who did absolutely nothing to reform that party until that party failed to do his will. If there are wrongs in the Republican party and if the Republi- can party has shortcomings, then we say that Theodore Roosevelt, more than anyone else, is responsible for these short comings and isn't it the hai<lak nf f0l1x to nominate for Pres

Rodenberg. If he could have shown that from the cradle to the present day Mr. Wilson had never changed his mind, or his views, he would have made out a complete case against him. He would have proved the Democratic candidate for presi- dent a man with an ossified mind
 But. behold, the Wilson of ten years ago, of twenty years since, wrote things, held views, entertained a philosophy, at many points dissimilar from his views of today.
 He has progressed ever since he was born, getting rid of error, acquir- ing truth and knowledge.
 While the steps by which a man of genius arrives at the apex of his powers are interesting, they are so in a merely academic sense.
 What Wilson believed while he was learning is about as useful as what somebody believed about flying ma chimes before there were any.
 It is what he believes today. what he will do today. that men are in terested in.
 He has been nominated for the presidency because the progressivec of the Democratic party believed him in the whole, the wisest, safest auC best beloved progressive of thei1 number.
 Rodenberg may jam the atmos- phere with quotations from Wilson's Ewritings of long ago. The country will look upon Wilson's record in of 1 flee, and listen to what he says now

(Middletown Penny Press.)
 Ever since he graduated from liar ward College in 1880, with the. excep- tion of perhaps four years, Theodore Roosevelt has held public office eith- CT appointive or elective and always this office has been at the hands of the Republican party. This man Roosevelt has by no means been iIl- active in the councils of the party for the last 30 years. He has had a chance to shape the destinies of that party perhaps more than any other
