OXFORD MAY HAVE SMALLPO
James Sanford Under Surveillance of Health Officer Who is Still Un.
 certain About Case.

Oxford also has suspected case of smallpox. James Sanford of that town is under the surveillance of the health authorities It was expected to be definitely decided whether or not he has smallpox. Health Officer Cable of Oxford called a Seymour doctor Sunday and although he he was of the opinion that it was a sus- picious case did not diagnose the case as smallpox. Arrangements have been made to call Health Officer Reilly of Naugatuck into consultation and the consultation was to take place at noon Monday. Health Officer Cable said Monday night that if the disease should turn out to be smallpox every effort to check any spread of the dis ease would be taken. He was of the opinion that should it develop that Mr. Sanford had the disease, it was probable that it had been contracted in Naugatuck as the patient had visited that town recently. The news that there might be a smallpox patient in Oxford Monday night, has caused much excitement.

THE DISCIPLINE OF THE SHIP

It. is too early to say, as between individuals. who were and who were not heroes on board the Titanic. The presence of so many women and chill dren among the rescued indicates

 hen not unbalanced by panic im- memoriaIly have. Whatever their conduct, there was no exhibition of courage, we venture to say, peculiar to the company assembled on the ship. The nobility they displayed was the nobility of the race, and it should E . proud boast that what they did any other gathering of men under similar circumstances would also do.
 It is a condition of the exhibition lective form, that. in the shock of sudden disaster, there must be a ral- lying point, a DISCIPLINED CEN TER from which order shall not de- part, and about which all the units desiring order, or capable of perceiv- ing the advantages of order, may rally.
 z Under the system in use on ships the captain and the officers of the snip, are such a center. They are tfained to expect disaster and to
 4> l~ &f4~ fvc ovn% rIf shock, panic and appalling fear. The Captain must be the last man to leave his ship. The noble tradition of khe sea, indeed. frequently requires him to go down with his ship. Under the same rule are the subordinate of ficers, and duty Is placed upon each to stay with the ship, in the sam e degree that his rank bears to the rank of. those above and below him.
 Md9f such a discipline it is ap- parent that the Captain and the of- ficers of the Titanic were the nucleus about which the panic stricken pas sengers assembled for discipline and instruction.
 The news is all too sparse, to show what actually happened on board the sinking ship. One may we'll imagine that the first instants were of aim less running to and fro. Passengers must have come partially dressed, screaming from their cabins. Women must have shrieked with the pain of an unknown terror, pressing awfully upon them in the darkness and cold. Possibly some jumped overheard. One may readily fancy that there were those who sought to move upon the principle of ''every man for himself - But during the midst of all this chaotic effort one must believe that the orders of the executive officer on

and not as the people would have them do, or even as they would pre- fer to do themselves
 Such a system makes for bribery and corruption. It enables bosses to enrich themselves, or get profits for themselves, by injuring the parties with which they are affiliated, and harming the people whose power they have gained control of.
 Although the law of Connecticut does not provide for state wide di- rect primaries, it does permit the parties in cities and towns to change their rules to provide for direct pri- maries, for the election of local of ficers.
 There is no reason why the Demo- cratic and Republican parties of Bridgeport should not change the party rules so that the voters can vote directly for the candidates of their choice for local offices, and instruct their delegates who are to nominate candidates for other offices.
 The convention system is undemo- cratic. It does not permit the people to express their will, and more fre- quently defeats their will than not.

a rich man marries a poor girl, be- cause the husband should always be stronger and wiser and more efficient than his wife. Perhaps I am old fashioned, but I think the wife who can look up to her husband is the happiest. He ought to be master in his own house or there will be contin- ual confusion. How would a busi- ness get along without one person at the head of it? What would a re- public do without president? The husbands will should be law, but Miss Held smiled enchantingly-"whe the wife disobeys or makes mistake she should be forgiven. just because she is the weaker"

deck, were steadily issuing, that per haps the captain himself was on the bridge, and that almost instantly tho discipline of the ship was restored. and that this discipline in fact had never been really lost.
 THE DISCIPLINE OF THE SHIP WAS RESTORED!
 From this instant it would have been impossible for any man aboard to act otherwise than as a hero, un- less, indeed, he desired to indulge in helpless cries, and franticly useless appealings, as of a creature in hg- steria.
 Then it was that the discipline of the ship. exhibited through the Cap tain and it's Officers, representatives of the nobility of the race and it's necessities. asserted itself in the au- thority which none could break, and which-we are warranted in believing few desired to escape
 The women and children went over the rail into the life boats, with only men enough to make their venture safe as possible No men went until the women and their salvors had all gone, leaving behind such women per haps as could not be got in time 10 the boats, or others. who, perhaps: desired to remain with their husbands to the last
 Men had done that thing for un- counted thousands of years. It was The woman, in the earlier day, was most necessary to the race. She, if but even a few men survived, could restore the diminished numbers of a people. Hence in every contest she was sent with her children to the rear. Men fought the fight as long as they could, the women joining in the contest only when otherwise the battle must go surely against that community.
 What was once know to be law, now assumes, to be sure, the guise of a mere nobility, or desire to pro- tect the. weak. But it remains the LAW that dominates the male, for the GOOD OF THE SPECIES.
 Thus we are compelled to believe that those who perished on the Titanic acted in accordance with the highest statute of right. About to go down into the great deeps, they exalted in the persons of their women and chi!- dren, the FUTURE above the PRES- ENT and bowed submissively to the memorable decree that the living shall ever live and die, not for themselves, but for that unknown something Posterity-over which God and Ma ture keep jealous watch and ward.
