FREE SMOKERS"

MT. Hill is very busy now. He is framing a bill that will enable cigar makers to enjoy free smokers, . without the boss having to pay a revenue tax on them. It is the GUS tom in the cigar trade for the em- ployer to allow his workmen so many cigars for. the personal use of the latter These cigars have hitherto paid a tax to Uncle Sam.
 MT. Hills bill is laudab1e, and in a measure unexpected, for MT. Hill has ever been firm advocate of the principle that government should be supported from the earnings of the plain people. He has strenuously opposed the income tax. which would make swollen fortunes pay part of his salary.
 It may be a case of throwing some- thing overheard to save the rest. If MT. Hill can keep this very consider able income out of the clutches of the tax collector, and enjoy the privi- lege of. making all his constituents pay a large tax on wool he can af- ford to concede free smokers to the cigar makers.

CONTROL OF PARTY MACHINERY

The issue is simply the control of party machinery Thus says newspaper in discussing primary contest wlchit it believes to be near at hand, in Bridgeport
 The issue is simple, and it is also important. The control of party machinery means control of government and control of government means many things.
 It may more bread and butter for the ordinary family, or it may mean less.
 Control of party machinery, merely to get the obs bad enough l:
 Control of party machinery for the benefit of special privilege is worse.
 Usually the two things go together Men who are too greedy get office find the easiest way often come to an agreement with public seryce other interest.
 The men in control of the party machinery" get the oces the trolley company gets the right to charge high fares and crowded cars the wealthy get the right to load their taxes onto the backs of the poor and the people get the privilege of paying year for steak that gets smaller every month. t:
 Control of the party machinery the thing sought at Chicago It simple thing But the Bull Moose wanders rampant because of that simple thing, and this will be found to be complex matter and full of dis turbance and change
 Control of party machinery thesmple thing that was in issue in Baltimore.
 The progressives simply control of the convention and that is why considerable part of Democracy foages with the Bull Moose this fa and why Democratic pres iden will be elected for the first time many years, which is not, after all, such extraordinary simple thing
 Struggles for control of party machinery at home neither lesss simple than similar struggles else where.
 Bridgeport is very considerable portion of Connect cut, and not very small fragment of the nation
 It makes quite difference who controls party ma. chnery and what for.
 Control just to ''pass out the jobs is thing
 Control to give direct primaries and democratic forms of government is quite another thing
 It will perhaps turn out that right at home control of party machinery is important to the people control anywhere else.
 The problems that beset the country must be mainly settled at home. Each community must keep its sidewalk clean.
 This is not simple matter, and pretty generally in this great and glorious country the broom sary and will be freely yielded this fall and for autumn or two to come.
 Control of party machinery by the people is the sim plest way to reduce the high cost of living

Newspaper Advertising.
(Ansonia Sentinel.l

There is advertising and advertising No one with the least experience will deny that some kinds of advertising are better than some other kinds of advertising. It is the results which tell and results are what the adver- tiser is looking after. It. is something Of a tribute to the efficacy of adver- Using through newspapers when a, man who does a great deal of it compli- ments the daily press. This gentle man is at the head of great automo3 bile selling agency in New York, and it is his business to seek out channels through which he can most readily reach purchasers. He finds that the best way lies through the advertising columns of the daily newspapers, and he announces that, having made fair trial of other kinds, he intends to cut down the announcements in other quarters and give most of his advertis- ing to the newspapers.
 His explanation is business-Hke and logical: Everybody reads the news papers every day, and a picture of our car attractively displayed, should catch the eye of the man who is 1n- terested in the subject as soon as he picks up the paper. We stand a bet ter chance of hearing from him promptly than if he saw the announce ment in publication which he picks LID at random once a month or so " That man is a shrewd observer and he puts the case exactly as it is. The newspaper readers are the best pur- ehasers, and that is why the newspa- per advertisement brings the adver- tiser his largest and best reward.

NO MORE GOAT

The Elks do we'll to abolish the goat. The animal was ever a pro- nounced butter if not precisely vic- ious and had no place in the house of fraternity. Was the goat intro duced as sop to convention, or be- cause Elks are called sBiil?'' And are EIks called "Bill'' because the Elk goats were billy goats?
 No more goat is best. The great lesson of fraternity is brotherhood, Kindness, generosity, charity, faith and love A putting goat, especially if he have horns, is not a sound teacher of these precepts. Nor does it assist the initiate, in the ways of love, if divers of the brothers If the order help lame or superanuated goats by beating, maiming, racking, or otherwise torturing the novice.
 Many an Elk have we known whose confidence in human nature was destroyed by the lodge goat.
 Good bye, goat! You will be miss- ed, but never mourned.

LORIMER'S S EXPULSION

The expected has happened and Lorimer is expelled from the Senate of the United States. There are some fifteen or twenty other men in that body Whose tenure of office is scarce ly more substantial.
 Connecticut senator emerge from statewide campaigns in which mon ey was used in a most disgraceful fashion.
 The expense account of some Re- publican candidates for state office a year ago made very pretty reading.
 The trouble was that no prescott ing official could be induced to read them, although earnestly solicited to do so by Prof. Fox, an entirely re- putable gentleman of New Haven and England.
 The difference between Lorimer and Connecticut is that elections are purchased, and public sentiment hasn't reached the investigation

Roosevelt and Lawson.


 MT. Lawson, although nobody seems to have thought of him before he suggested Governor Wilson as a run ming mate for Colonel Roosevelt, IS more like the self nominated head of the personally conducted third party than any man in the United States, or any man the world has produced within the last century with the pos- sible exception of the Mad Mullah, who, priftably. made holy war his vocation.
 MT. Lawson says. in, an interview. prepared, signed and delivered, in Boston, that both political parties are ''in the grip of the system and It's brutal dragomans."
 2 A dragoman is an interpreter or guide, who works for "backsheesh, or wages si: the near East He may be trick Arab. an untrustwortlly Turk. Syrian without the fear of God in his heart, a Greek who would rob a sanctuary if occasion offered, but mo- body but MT. Lawson has ever heard of a brutal dragonlan. It is the drag omans business to be suave. persua- sive, beguiling. He does not skin the traveller with a knife, but with smile Mr. Lawson must have writ ten in sudden heat and passion and without a dictionary at his elbow

ROAD BUILDER NEEDED

Between Ridgefield, in this state. and the neighboring state of New York is a peak of land, which is called Port of Missing Man." Why this romantic name was given does not appear, unless it is because the rnountainside is sparsely inhabited.
 But the point is that over this highland there runs a private road The New York boundary is near the top, and the road all the way over m excellent.
 4ut what a difference in the roads ofi either side. The Connecticut high .Tays are things to ill a citizen of Hooker's state with shame. There is nothing worthy of the name. The Connecticut roads are of two kinds, excluding the private roads.
 Some of the roads are built by the towns. Some of them are built by the state. The state highway is "chucked" in, mile or two here, and mile or two there. The state highway begins nowhere and ends nowhere. It is monument to the desire of public servants to hold of fee, by making a few friends in every town.
 On the New York side are magni- fcent highways One highway leads

BUYING COAL


 Is 1t quite wise to dispense with advertising, bids and competition to the extent that Mayor Wilson seems to plan? There seems to be nothing about coal that requires it to be pur- chased by mere dickering with the first dealer that some member of the Board of. Contract and Supply hap pens to see. That the coal is to be carted by city teams does not prevent its purchase by more usual methods. It is probabIes that fair price has been obtained for good coal. The re-, suit of the method of dispensing with bids need not in every case be had The question is. whether. in the long, rnn.s the city will not lose by en-. trusting its entire purchasing power to a single board. and that without safeguards. @

MRS. BROWNS WAY


 Mrs. DeForest Brown, of Kansas City, wrote the mayors of two great cities that she wanted a husband. She has received a bushel of applica- lions for the job. This proves the need of matrimonial bureaus under responsible authority. If as many men as would be represented in a busfel of e!ove letters want wives, there must be hundreds, nay, thou sands upon thousands, more in the same predicament. Men are modest. Some of them find it difficult to get acquainted with the right woman, others don't know how to propose. Mrs Brown has blazed a trail. Let others follow it. And what joy for a woman. to read a busheI of love letters.

FIRST THINGS

Dynamite was first officially tried and approved at Mertsham, England, forty-four years ago. Alfred Nobel was the inventor of the now generally used explosive. Nitroglycerine had been discovered by Sobrero in 1847. Nobel began to experiment With the dangerous substance in 1863, but found that great uncertainty and hazard at tended it's use. Tn 1867 he conceived the idea of mixing nitroglyceri11e with some Solid and absorbent inert sub stance. Siliceous infuSorial earth proved to be we'll adapted for the pur- pose, since it took up as much as three times it's weight of nitroglycer- inc without becoming more than damp to the touch. This mixture Aof earth and nitroglycerine, to which was add ed a little alkaline material to neutral ize any acid that might be set free by the latter, Noble called it dynamite. Although less powerful than nitrogly- cerine, dynamite is far more depend- able and less dangerous. Ignited in the open air, dynamite will burn rath- CT than explode-although it would be just as well to accept this statement as fact without experiment.
 A patent was granted to Charles Goodyear by the United States gov ernment sixty-eight years ago today, covering his processes for treating rubber whereby that substance be- came the highly useful article of com merce, applied to a thousand and one uses The anniversary is especially interesting jst, now, when it is pre- dicted that within year or two all the rubber forests of the world will have become valueless because of the invention of an artificial substance that will take the place of rubber. Goodyear was born in New Haven, Conn.,, in 1900 and was an early manu- facturer of. India rubber. His inven- tion of vulcanization processes revo- lutionized the industry. He procured patent after patent for improvements on this method. until he had more than sixty in the United States and Europe Before his death in 1860 he saw his material applied to over 500 uses. and the list has since doubled.

LOSS MORE APPARENT
 THAN REAL PERHAPS

Are fewer children born? Do larger numbers die per million of population now than twenty years ago? Or is terially increasing?
 These are questions suggested in the introduction of the statistical report of the United States Bureau of Edu- cation for 1911, following the state ment- that the percentage of the total population enrolled in the schools in 1910 was less than in 1890.
 It is pointed out that important methods of gathering statistics ac- count for a part of the loss, but on the other hand other authorities note that compulsory education laws and like social agencies are bringing a greater and greater proportion of children to the schoolhouse door. The introduce tory statement to the teduca ton bu- reau's document says in part
 There was an apparent decrease in the percentage of the total population enrolled in the schools as whole from 22.54 in 1890 to 21.54 in 191O The loss may be given in numbers as 919.- 723. Tn other words, the grand total of school enrolment in 1910 would have been 2O.731 ,645 if the percentage of 1890 had been maintained, in place of the 19.S11,9 ,922 grand total
 All this loss and more is suffered by the elementary schools, for the higher institutions made substantial gains and the secondary schools show marked increase in enrolment as compared with the total population
 There is no reason for the belief that the schools have lost ground in reality. This comparison is with to- tai population, not school population, and it is probable that there are rela- lively fewer children now than form erly.
 If there are not so many children proportionally, there will naturally be proportionally fewer pupils. Further more, it is well known that the con stant improvement in statistical methods has resulted in the elimina- tion to an increasing extent of du- plicate enrollments. The decrease that results is apparent only and causes no concern
 Tn further support of this conten- ton, figures are cited which show that had the, apparent relative decrease of 919.723 in enrolment been real, the loss would have been more than made up in the increased efficiency of the common schools, for the per cent of average daily attendance increased from 6861 in 1890 to 71.3O in 1910: the average length of school term in- creased from 1347 days to 1875 days between the same dates. At the same time the average number of days. schooling received by each child of school age increased from 59.2 in 1890 to 8O.5 in 1910 while the average num- Der of days attended by each pupil enrolled increased from 86.3 in 1890 to 113.O in 1910.

STATE ROAD NOTES
From the Connecticut Automobile As-
 sociation

A peculiar case has been brought to the attention of the Connecticut Auto mobile association wherein one of it's members was mulcted of one dollar in a rather unique way. While this is the only case so far reported to the association there may be others. The information is given as caution to autom obilsts.
 The automobilist was travelling be- tween Hartford and Avon, where the road is being repaired and a detour is necessary The traveller over this road found it blocked by two carts chained together. Around the carts were three or four employees, one of whom was taken to be the foreman. He absolutely refused to let the au- tomobile pass through whereupon the traveller started to remove the ob- structions and was ordered to stop Finally the traveller offered to pay the men in charge for the removal of the obstruction. Interest was immedi- ately awakened by the proposal of payment and the men moved with great alacrity, clearing the road and letting the traveller pass through. The fee paid was one dollar, a very small salve to what first appeared to be much injured conscience. Ii other automobilists are suffering this extor- ton. the matter should be brought to the attention of the association at once.

THE STOCK MARKET
CT. L. Watson & Co.)

The recent operations in the market have been tending to wipe out "stop loss" orders on the bull side and to expand the short interest. Hence there has been a progressive improve ment in the technical position which might at any moment produce a sharp rally. It is too early to reach judg- ment on the political situation in rela- ton to business or speculative pros poets. If natural conditions continue to hold the strength they now possess there will be buying from the invest ment reserves of capital to offset all bear attacks made at present or pos- y3ible slightly lower levels.
