PROF. F1sHee's RESIGNATION.

For some time Prof. ". c. Fisher has been giving publicity to both Wes- leyan and Mfddletown and in a man ner which showed him a man of much independence, as professors often are and have a right to be. As long as he confined himself to politics there was no interference on the part of the university with his public par ticipatio He has taken positive and aggressive stand in all matters which he became interested in. so much so that he gained widespread publicity therefron. He is no ordi- nary partisan.
 When he addressed a Hartfor3 aud- fence on Sunday recreation and fla vored closing the churches for a time as an experiment upon the effect it would have on religion he went to a limit which the university could not stand and which he realized when he ea1d he was free enough from preju- dice to see clearly that college with the history and constituency of Wes- leyan was not the place for man who held his views"
 IT was not much the views of Prof Fisher which resulted in his res ignation being asked for, as it was the manner in which he expressed them. His aggressive attitude reflected on the university through his professor ship and tolerance of it would have occasioned more surprise than his res ignadon- Of it all. however a pleas Ing feature is the harmonious manner in which the ties have been severed.

IDEAS OF A PLAIN MAN
Dead Books.

One day I climbed the hill near Su- biaco, which is in the mountains of Italy, not remote from Rome. There l visited an old mona stery and a brother showed me the library, where in I was allowed to browse as long as I pleased There were hundreds of books, beautifully bound in vellum, many of them written by hand upon parchment
 I came away rather sad. I had dug into many books They must have been written at great pains by men under serious impulses. Lives had been poured into those books. And now while the volumes them selves would be priceless for a collector, the ideas in them were dry and useless as the dead leaves in the monastery courtyard
 The subjects discussed interest mo- body any more Even the manner of reasoning is entirely worthless Not a living soul, except an antiquary, if such have living souls, would read one of the books through
 I wonder if. ten centuries from now the books which today thrill us will seem as wormy and tomb like.
 Dead men impress one with the brevity of life; how much more dead booksi

coNNEcrIcuT's NEW JUDGES.

When Governor Baldwin elevated Justice Samuel o. Prentice te the po- sition of chief justice of the supreme court of errors of Connecticut. he car ried out a duty which he could hardly well avoid. Justice Prentice was in line for the promotion in accordance with the custom which has prevailed in the filling of the vacancy of chief justice, namely, the longest service of any among the associate justices, and 1t was the same qualification which made Governor Baldwin the chief jus tice of the same court when he sue ceeded Chief Justice Torrance.
 It was within his power to have selected another. but his action has firmly established a precedent regard less of any partisan feeling and it is especially an office for which partisan ship should have no qualification In his choice the governor has chosen a worthy successor to the late Fred erick B. Hall. and again eastern Con- necticut is honored by the selection
 In making his other judicial selec- tions Governor Baldwin had a long legal experience and thorough acquain- tance with the requirements for the important office of judge which doubt less proved valuable Justice Beach and Judges Futile and Webb are all equipped by valuable experience for the handling of the duties of their office. That they are democrats does not interfere with their becoming ex- cellent judges but in cDrnmDn with many others who have received sim liar appointments however active par tisans they may have been, it is the signal for Bssened activity in that df- rectfon

SAVING THE cHIloeEA

fn assuming her new position Miss Julia Lathrop in charge of the gov efnments bureau for the welfare If children makes an interesting stafe- nrent when she declares that the proper registration of births through cut the country would result in the saving of 150. GOO babies each year. This of course does not mean that the mere registration would accom- plish this wonderful rescue work. but H would follow from such procedure that greater number of children would be reached and through the aid which could be given the infant nor tality would be reduced
 It is through the registration that the work of aiding the ignorant par ents can be systematically done, for otherwise these agencies of civiliza- ton which are working to cut down the excessive death rate and give bet teT health conditions in the home are .ieprived of an important part of their cid of operation With the forces -eady to work and doing their part = give the babes the advantages of es- gienic care by overcoming the ig- -orance which otherwise might exist a the crowded tenement districts,
 i'll greater benefits can be accom- rlished by the cooperation which the rrompt registration gives. Magnff1- cent results have been attained by the instructions which have been given concerning the care of children during the early years and at all seasons and whatever will aid in extending them should be encouraged.

Life to be Done Over and Over.

we are always beginning again to Hve-Nous recommenSonS toujourS a vivre,' wrote Montaigne.
 Who does not feel this? Today has never been quite satisfactory. We bungled things here, and overdid mat ters there. and altogether the whole trial sketch, an outline and attempt at life merely Tomorrow we shall do better
 And tomorrow in our faulty hands turns into another imperfect today.
 Life is not a long thing measured by years; it is a short thing only day long.
 Every day we try to make of it something worth while. Then at night we so back into death again to grain force for another effort
 So we keep it over and over, as the lens maker polishes his glass with infinite rubs of his thumb.
 A man is fool to say it is. all over. No man Is ruined so long as he has another day to try it again
 Every day is birthday, and every sunset is a day of judgment

THE rlPPiMe SYSTEM.

Statesmen, more than others perhaps know the evil, as well as the value of the tipping system, as carried out so extensively in hotels, on railroads or wherever it is permitted to be prac- ticed upon the public. It is not sur prising, therefore, when a cigar sales man declares he has given away $1S,- 900 in tips during his experience of twenty years. It was his toll to avoid delay and the price of receiving atten- ton which he otherwise paid for.
 Referring to the praetive as an "ex- otic, un-American custom, which be- gan as an occasional reward for wor- thy service the New York Herald de- clares it has become Frankenstein monster and should be classified as one of the many varieties of 'hoid-up.' As we read the ta abie of necessary tips furnished by the cigar salesman we cannot help reading also, between the lines, what would happen if the tips were not forthcoming. His sample trunks would either miss the train or suffer serious injury; the front would be deaf to the sound of his bell; the barber would mistake an ear for whiskers. and the suit of clothes would be mislaid on the way to the presser's.
 "On the strength of the represen- tations made by this traveIing sales man an attempt will be made to pass an anti-tipping law, making it illegal to give or receive a tip in the state of Illinois. It is not easy to see how such law could be enforced"
 The regulation of the tipping system is possible and there are places where such a practice is forbidden, but it is only where the employer demands it under penalty Of discharge, and overcomes it with good wages that it is possible.
