THE INTERESTING SITUATION
OF Mr.. ROBBINS, THE HUNDRED
THOUSAND AND THE NEW HAVEN

Press stories have it that the
resignation of General Counsel
E. d. Robbins is in the hands
of Howard Elliott, new presi-
dent of the New Haven COM
pany.
It seems reasonable. Mr.. Ell
lott comes to the road with a
claim that he is going to re-
form whatsoever has been evil
in the management of the COM
pany. He has asserted that the
New Haven company has no
use for a lot of expensive leg
islative hirelings, commonly
termed "the New Haven lob
by
Mr.. Robbins has been gener-
ally regarded as the head and
front of the New Haven lobby,
the corner stone of its wisdom,
so to speak.
Apparently he has been, for
he testified to having received,
apparently as a single pay
ment, the sum of 100000,
which he used in promoting
legislative opinion, so success
fully, he said, that he got a
unanimous. vote on an exceed
ingly important matter in
which the road was interested.
There you are. It will be
hard for Mr.. Elliott to get
around THAT. How can the
New Haven do business at the
capital when every demagogue
in Connecticut, and there will
be more of them hereafter than
there used to be, is able to
point to the office of Mr.. Rob-
bins in the capital, Saying
There he is, he represents the
New Haven"
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1913-09-18

To give the New Haven the
reputation of having Mr.. Rob-
bins in it's employ, is to encour-
age demands upon it. A man
who becomes so well known in
connection with the railroad
legislative work is a standing
invitation to greed. Every
blackmailer who has a vote in
the legislature, will think of
that 100000 which Mr.. Rob-
bins once had, and will wonder
if there isn't another 100000,
with which to procure another
unanimous vote.
Indeed, human nature being
the queer, cynical, suspicious,
greedy, tolerant, inquisitive
thing that it often is, before
what tribunal can Mr.. Robbins
appear without exciting a kind
of curiosity, hope, or wonder
as the case may be, not only in
the minds of the triers, but in
the minds of the great audience
lit often will be great-who
watch the progress Of the
trial?
A man who has once had a
100000 to use in getting leg
islation will always be credited
with the ability he once exhib-
tied. It will always be suppos--
ed that he has gained in ac-
quisitive power as he has gain
ed in experience and there you
are.
One would say that Mr., Ell
lott will be obliged to accept
the resignation of Mr.. Robbins,
if it comes to him. One would
hazard the conjecture that Mr..
Elliott will be obliged to geek.
that resignation, if it doesn't
come to him.

Ogden, n. Y, eighty-six years ago to-
day, Sept. 10. 1897. When he began
his career as Journalist and author
Emerson. Holmes and their contem-
poraries were in their prime, Mark
Twain was still nobody, and most
of the popular writer's of today were
unborn. It was sixty years ago that
Mr.. Trowbridge published his first
book, Father Brighthopes,' and for
some years before that he had been a
contributor to newspapers and maya
zines AS a poet his fame is based
principally. on that humorouslX satiri-
cal poem, Darius Green and His Fly

ten nearly half a century ago. Mr..
Trowbridge ridiculed the crude flying
machine of a Yankee lad. who reason

honored guests at the Boston avia-
only prevented from. accepting an in
vitation to soar aloft by the protests
of friends.
Mr.. Trowbridge's youth was spent
in a farm in New York State, and he
was principally self taught, although
he attended a country school when
his duties would permit and spent
one Winter in a school at Lockport.
He remained on the farm until seven
teen years of age, when he became a
school teacher. He taught in Lock-
port and in Illinois. At twenty he
went to New York City, intent on be-
coming a newspaper man. and in the
following years was employed on pa
pers in that city and Boston.
Mr.. Trowbridge's name appears on
nearly half a hundred volumes, in

These events are to be regarded with

Such weather is the principal cause of

Every organ and tissue OF the body

Csteopathy is a complete system OF

Correctly speaking, the science of
osteopathy is bloodless surgery, and
while the o~steopath believes that in
