THE REJECTED SYSTEM.

Prof William Howard Taft continues to teach at Xale political philosophy that destroyed him presl- dent lecture he discusses the recall of public servants classifying it "a system of govern
 ent rejected years ago' This to be rather in it's favor Years ago the king the idea The king had hereditary job. He ruled by divine right One was oc- casonally beheaded, assassinated but unless some thing of this kind happened he ruled until he died The believed that the people should have right to recall the king were treated guilty of treason and quickly put out of their misery It very long before the idea gained ground that the people had right to discharge their rulers That idea was 1- deed sSrejected'' many times.
 After while, in countries, the idea into being people ought to elect their rulers for term, discharge them the enof the term This is what they o the United States This is what they did for ME Taft after looking Taft they decided discharge him. They did that The recall is merely the right to discharge public servant BEFORE his term has expired It rests upon the theory the right of discharge at the END of the term
 The people having declared that their chief mags- and other have right to rule for life, ecreed they might hold their jobs for fixed term, but now about decree they may be ttred'' whenever they do not give satisfaction.
 This is not such terrible innovation Our distin-
 ished consideration for Prof. Taft and that the country will go we'll enough under the recall He will readily that if the country get along after he has been discharged at the end of his term it prob ably get along if somebody else happens to get blue tick ct in his envelope before the end of his term. The orin public servant is pretty decent fellow, but not half as nportantas theopponents of the recall think he is.

FHTY4FIvE HOUR BILL.

The action of the house on the ffy-ve hour bill surprise to nearly everybody. The members il voted all such down, with accuracy and precision Even amendment offered by the chairman of the committee labor which would have permitted night work cantile establishments night in the week, voted down by an overwhelming majority.
 The bill not broad one but 1t may be taken new ertheless signboard Industries that cannot thrive without the undue exploitation of children will have get along without thriving.
 The effect of this bill is limit the hours of work which and children under sixteen may engage 55 in any week. Minors not allowed to do night work.
 This is slightly morez than nine hour day, which is long enough of standard day in this country and throughout the civilized world is eight hours Already large numbers of skilled workmen have securethe eight hour day To provide that and children shall not work than nine hours, little more, is moi, therefore, radical legislation.

A LETTER TO AN EDITOR
 AND THE EDITORS REPLY

Recently the editor of the Water bury Republican received an inquiry purporting to be from an IS year old ''school boy" The editor decided that the interrogator whether sincere or not had fairly propounded a query that deserved attention. Therefore he set himself to the task of inform ing his questtoner and so ably has he acquitted himself that we deem the matter of sufficient importance to recommend it's perusa1 to our readers especially to parents, particularly to mothers. It may also be found not unproftabIe if given heed by the school boy'' growing up to the age of the questioner of our Waterbury con- temporary. The inquiry and answer of the editor is appended:

SCRAP BOOK FOR TO-DAY

DantS lA11ghier4 greatest of Italian poets. was bonn on May IA, 1265, and the 64Sth anniversary Of that event will be celebrated today in many Ital- ian cities, including Florence. birth place Of the immortal poet; Ravenna, where his remains He buried, and Rome, where he spent many years of his life. An interesting feature of the day will be the lighting of lamps that win be kept burning perpetual1y be- fore che tomb in Ravenna and the Dante monument in Florence. These perpetual lamps have been Ifbera1ly endowed by admirers of the poet
 Elnr a century Florence and Ra- venna have been engaged in a bitter struggle for the possess1en of Dante's remains Esayenna has continued ob- Btfnate, and on more than one occa~ s1on has pointed ont that the poet, when alive. was subjected to persecu- ton and ban1shment by his native city, which confiscated his estate. Dante was thirty-sfx years old when the caty that is now .clanoring for his remains drove him forth under a de- cree of banfshment obtained by pow srfuI enemies. and for the remainder Df his Itfe nineteen years, he wander ed from pillar to post and never a1ain set foot in Florence Every rity and town of northern Italy treas ures 1ezends of Dante's residence and n was by accident that he was in 2avenrza when death overlook him.
 Dantefs tomb at Ravenna is crude and commonplace in appearance, and far from being a fitting resting place 1or. all that is mortal of one of the worlds most illustrious poets. In the angle of an obscure side street, over -l1adowed by the walls of a Francis can convent, squats the rude sepul- chre where Dante sleeps. Plain to the point of rudeness in its exterior, tk<s raausolelIun is even cTuder in its interior dark. dismal and dingy.
 The Florence rnonunent to the city s greatest son is in the Church of Santa Croce. an edfice often referred to as the ''Westmdnster Abbey of Italy" It is a beautiful and artistic memorial that the FIorentines have erected to 1Ens great poet. and worthy or the man whose name and fame it comm msuDorateS

 One of the finest products of human thought in all the ages is the touching si1ni1e used by Peri cles in a funeral sermon over the loss in battle of the flower of the young men of Athens. He said it was t'the spring taken out of the year.
 These are moving words and they tell what you and your friends and many like you are doing your selves to your promising young lives.
 The spring is with you and vour seed-time is here and you are neg lecting to prepare the ground and SOW your seed.
 What do you expect to reap?
 Start over again, young man, and make your start from home and school, not from the street corner, the dance haIl and the pooIroom. They have never yet produced or a Wright. They do not even produce good pr1zehghters or avia- tors. They sap energy instead of growing 1t.
 And think over these chunks of wisdom. Try your best to follow them. Come back in five or ten years and tell us whether the ad- vice was good. That will be suf- fcient pay for it.

The first number of the Illustrated London News, the pioneer publication of it's kind, was issued seventy-one years ago today, May 14, 1842. Her bert Ingram, M. P, was the founder of this first of iI1untrated week1ies. MT. Ingram and his eldest son, while on a tour of Canada. and the States, were drowned in the wreck of the Lady Elgin on Lake Michigan in 1860. The Graphic, an illustrated weekly similar to the Illustrated London News. was established in 1889, and the Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News in 1874. The first illustrated weekly published on this side of the Atlantic was Frank Leslie's IlIustrat- ed Newspaper. Leslie was born in England, and began his career as an artist on the Illustrated London News. The illustrated Newspaper" attained a wide circulation, and issued edf- tions in German and Spanish as well as English. It is still published as 'LesHe's Illustrated Weekly liar per's Weekly was founded in 1856, and Golfers Weekly in 1887.

Just a year ago today Frederick VIII of Denmark went the way of hu- manity and his son, Christian x, ac- ceded to the throne of the little nation European history. The Danish mon arch has had 8 difficult role to as- sume, both at home and in his inter national relations, but, at the compile ton of the first year of his reign, he seems to have acquitted himself cred itab1y. Hds father, Frederick VIII. and his grandfather, Christian TX. were among the wiseSt and best loved of European n1onarchs, and they set a. high standard for their successor.

Here is letter. which may be fictitious. though punctuation and writing indicate otherwise. But the question it asks is a, vital one for not a. few families where there are growing boys. and girls, too, so it. is worth while to give it an extend ed answer.
 Your parents are not unreason- able, ''Schoo1boy.'' They have right to know where you have been when you return home at 1880 a. m. They even have a right to know where you are going when you leave the house at eight in the evening. They would be neither unreasonable nor strict if they re- fused you permission to spend five or six hours out, of the house after dark.
 Not many years ago it was gem orally believed that boy of your age ought to be in bed at 10 o'clock. and to go out after supper was an infrequent privilege for most boys of that age, granted~only on good occasion.
 The old rules are good ones yet if we. can judge by the apparent feeble health of some of the white faced young runts who can be seen around town late at night. They are not conserving their health, they are not enriching their minds,
 
 morals God knows what their parents, if they have parents. are thinking of to let such boys prowl around at such hours. No good ever comes of it.
 You are fortunate, boy, in hav- ing a father and mother with wis dom enough to oppose you, and to '-denand'' to know where you have spent your time. Let The Repub- lican give you a piece of honest advice right from the heart. When they ask you where you are going or where you have been, tell them. If they object, obey them and hon. or them for it. You will meet a good many people in your life be- fore you will get such good advice and such earnest counsel as you will get from. your father and mother.
 You say you are a schooIboy, aged eighteen. At your age a boy should be building up his body, and you know enough about athletics not to need to be told that staying up until 1880 a. m. is bad training. If you ever hope to possess the splendid strength. energy and en- durance that make real man. you must go to bed early and have many hours of sleep.
 Do the boys who stay out after midnight stand up straight and look strong Have they clear eyes and good conplex1ons? Do they look as though they will ever win any medals?
 If you don't know. just inquire

Hall Caine, whose popularity as a novelist extends to every English speaking country, will celebrate his sixtdeth birthday today. Re was edu- cated in the schools oG the Isle of Man, and later in Liverpool for the profession of an architect, but never practtced that art.
