THE CRY FOR ANNEXATION

The movement in Stratford to be rid
Of TIollister Heights does seem to bear
3. political complexion. 1t is palsied
over with the pale cast of the Old
Guard which has Nominated the coun-
ellis of BridgeporRs little sister for so
many years.
The people of HOLSTER Heights
went out of Bridgeport with city ideas
about government and a New England
belief that town meetings are place
in which all the citizens should freely
discuss their views of town policy
1t is not unnatural, under these cir
cumstances. that there has been some
friction between the old way and the
new. but this is scarcely justification
for dis1ntegrating territory, and com
polling new political lines.
If in. some near or distant day it
should even happen that Stratford be
overtaken by a Democratic town gov
eminent. We hope our little sister may
bear the burden patiently. 1t has been
tried in Bridgeport and found to be
sufrerabIe In fact Democratic gov
eminent here is generally regarded as
somewhat superior to the Republican
brand.
Now il the proposal were to take

political prominence, the Governor of
the Palmetto State became an interna-
tiona1 figure by reason of his. incendi-
airy and sensational utterances at the
in Richmond. His defense of mob
law, his tttos hell with the constftu

were topics of Mortified comment in
the press of Europe as well as of Ann

can statesmen" Blease was described
by one London paper-although, in
view of recent occurrences in the
House of Commons, 1T is not seenIy
that Elnglishmen should cast stones.
Whatever the merits or dement's of
Cole Blease-and these have been the
subjects of much heated and exclama-
tory comment-it is not unlikely that
he will long be prominent in American
politics. He candidly entertains an
ambition to represent South Carolina
in the United States Senate, and has
predicted that March 4, 1915 ''if God
spares him. he with claim his toga.
81 snap my fingers. at your resolu-
tions,'' he told his fellow governors,
''for all the resolutions and ala the
motions you may act upon will not
avail to keep me out.
Gov. BIease has for years been the
idol of that class of South Carolinans
who call themselves '@the plain peo-
pIe,'' and who are dubbed 'hill-bil-
lies by the aristocratfc element Leav-
ing the big coIored population out of
the question, the Palmetto State goes
to social extremes. and Gov. Blease,
like Senator TiIlman, made his appeal
to the lower crust. Before 1.-The rev
olution of 800 in which TiIlman was
the leader, South Carolina was gov
erned by the social eIect-by tfthe peo-
pie of education and refinement as
they called themselves, by the 'isnobs, =
as their opponents tagged them. The
Ti1lman rebellion against the estab-
lished order was successful, and

came to the top with that upheaXaL
The proud traditions of the past were
tossed INTO the rubbish heap.
AS stump-speaker. Gov. Blease has
few superiors. To the cultured his
rude eloquence may seem but vulgar
clap-trap, but the majority of his con-
stituents are not cultured. "God must
love the common people, said Lin
coin, because he made so many of
them" With this judgment Gov.
appeals are to the plain people.
In the Democratic primary last
year Gov. Bleaee was renominated by
majority of 1000 out of 1000
votes cast, over Ira B. Jones, who
was chief justice of the South Caro-
lima Supreme Court before he entered
the lists with Blease. During his first
administration the South Carolina gov
ernor pardoned over 500 convicts, and
was an earnest advocate of prison re-

South Carolina is the only State of

staunchily upheld by Gov. Blease. A

to us, unvexed as we are by serious

TO-DAY IS CENTENARY
OF BIRTH OF FREMONT,
THE PATHFINDER.

One of the most important. centen-
aries of the year 1913 is that of to-
day. comm norating the one hun
dredth anniversary of the birth of
John Charles Fremont, explorer, SOL
der and statesman. In that rich en-
pire which stretches along the Pacific,
from Vancouver to San Diego Ere
mont will be honored as the great
pathfinder Californ1ans will re-
we're the memory of the men whose
bravery and hardihood resulted in the
acquisition of the olden State by the
Union. In the history of the Re-
publican party Fremont holds an i'm
portant place as its first Presidential
candidate. The South shares in his
glory, for the famous explorer was
born In Savannah, Ga. Jan. FL. 1913.
and he spent his youth and received
his education in Charleston, S. c..
France, too, may. claim a part in Free
mOnts fame, for his father was a
Frenchman who had settled in Nor
folk, Va, where he supported him
self by teaching his native tongue
Frem ont's< mother was a daughter of
the Old Dominion, of a prominent Vir
ginia family connected by marriage
with the Washington family She was
a Mrs. Pryor, the divorced wife of
Major Pryor of Virginia, when she met
loved and married the debonair
F1renchman. The latter died in 1878
dren, settled in Charleston.
John Charles Fremont entered
Charleston College at the age of fff-
teen, and was a brilliant student until
che became acquainted with a. young
West Indian girl, whose raven hair
and soft black eyes interfered sadly
with his studies This. love affair
resulted in Feremont's expulsion from
college. He became a. private teach
er of mathematics, and at twenty was
employed in the same capacity on
board the sloop of war Natchez Re
turning from a two-year cruise, he
went to Baltimore and passed an ex-
animation for the post of professor of
mathematics in the navy A little Ia
ter he quit the sea and took to rail-
reading, as a surveyor on a line be-
tween Charleston and Augusta Ca
and on other roads in South Carolina
and Tennessee. Tt was as a surveyor
in wild sections of the South that he
/ had his first experience in Indian war
fare.
Joining the United States army as a
second lieutenant in the corps of topo-
graphical engineers, Fremont made an
examination of the Des Moines river
along the western frontier. In 1871,
after q romantic love affair, he Sc
cretIy married Miss Jessie Benton,
daughter of the famous Missouri SEN
ator.
Fremont's great work, which has
made his name immortal, began in
1882, when he projected a geographic
i cal survey of the entire western coun-
| try from the Missouri river to the Pa
cific. His expedition began at a point
near Kansas City. Defying the fu-
ry of the elements and bands of hos

and returned in safety. In 1843. at

FIRST THINGS

The first paper mill in New England,
the beginning of an important indus
try, was established by Daniel Hench-
man, born in Boston 224 years ago
to-day. 1t was not the first of its kind
on the continent, however. the pion-
eer mill for the manufacture of pa
per having been built in 1890 by Will
liam Rittinghuysen, at a point within
the city limits of Philadelphia. The
first paper mills in England were
erected at hartford in 1880. The
first manufacturers of paper in Eu-
rope were the French and Dutch. Pa
per-making by machinery was first
suggested by Louis Robert, who sold
his model to Didot, the great printer,
who perfected the apparatus, with the
assistance of Fourdrinier was revo1u-
tionized.
The first number of the London
Daily News was issued sixty-seven
years ago to-day. The News was the
first to draw the attention of western
Europe to the Turkish atrocities in
Bulgaria, and for this the first Bull

Much was said in the house, Tuesday of |'the

: Mr. Heay of Windsor Locks advanced the idea of
prerogatve opposing the report of the joint committee
amendment of the joint rules.
He declared that he would oppose any change which
impaired the prerogative Of the Speaker to
prevent him from naming members of committees
The language scarcely appropriate. It was, in
deed aont to the house, for the Speaker has
rogave to members Of committees, and it is in
ought to have it.

empowered to name members of the committees It is
nothing else. The speaker has franchise, right

Such right he has to committees given by a
rule OF the House. and must be given again whenever

The prerogatve is in the House. There is nothing
the Speaker except House gives it. That the House
gives it is CUSTOM from which it may depart at will
It the custom to elect the Speaker by ballot until
this year The House abrogated the custom and named
the Speaker by roll call.
1t has been the custom to empower the Speaker to

SCHOOL SOCIAL CENTERS

Three hundred and thirty eight
schools = 1O1 cities of the United
states were used as social centers dur
ing the past season. according to a re-
port compiled by Clarence Arthur
Perry for the Sage Foundation Of
ncials of the United States Bureau Of
Education. who have examined tho re-
port, declare that it is bound to stinu-
late interest in this rapidly developing
phase of the movement for wider use
of the school plant
Mr.. Perry finds that in A Of the
OF cities social centers were directed
by paid workers. New York had As
such centers and Chicago Is. while
Philadelphia, Boston, Columbus, De-
troft. Jersey City. Louisville, Roches-
ter and Trenton are also among the
cities included in this list There IS
wide variation in the length of the
season, from five or six weeks in some
localities to the full school term in
others. In fact, little uniformity pre-
walls as to what constitutes social
center. Mr.. Perry presents in the re-
port tentative definition of a social

growing use of school buildings for
political meetings. In Cleveland, Ohio.
meetings were held in the schools to
discuss the new constitutional prov1-
sions that were before the people for
adoption In Jersey City the public
schools were opened to partisan poll
tical meetings with gratifying results;
eight public school auditoriums in
New York City were also opened for
the same purpose, and in Chicago the
assembly halls were employed for poll
tical rallies and proved a distinctly
popular innovation. Milwaukee, Wis,
and Worcester, Mass, are cities where
the schools have for some time been
used for political meeting places.
The use of schools as polling places
is another recent development. Thirty
schools in Los Angeles were used for
this purpose in 1911. In the past year
Milwaukee began using the basem ents
of school buildings as polling places.
In New Y 6fk fife se6T111nn ffsssfoher of ac-
counts recomm ended that the school
buildings be used for registration
booths throughout the city, declaring
that the plan would mean the saving
OF a Considerable part of the hundred
thousand dollars expended for rental
every year. Definite adoption of the
ideas of schools as polling places is re-
ported from Boston, Mass Berkeley
and Long Beach, Cal; Grand Rapids,
