VIoLAToRs OF THE LAW.

When it comes to the enforcement
Of the law it must be realized that
laws are made for the purpose of be-
ing respected and for the betterment
Of society. That there should be rea-
son used in the application of the law
and that stress should be laid upon
the serious violations rather than upon
the minor transgressions is generally
recognized. Hartford is experiencing
some interesting cases in the enforce
ment of the law where residents have
been arrested for working on Sunday,
the charge being that they were en-
gagged in turing a lawn or at work
improving conditions about their
homes, not only for the qualification
of their own pride, but for the i'm
provement of the neighborhood Their
acts may be against some law in the
old blue" list, but little or no rec
ignition has been paid to it, and it
has failed of recognition through COM
mon practice.
Such action seems to be making
much ado about nothing for every
other Sunday and in other sections of
the city others are doing not only sim
liar things, but much worse The time
which is devoted to enforcing a strict
observance of the law and Sunday
could better be expended in other di-
rections where the violations are of
a far more serious character Such
trivial breaking of the law was un-
far less intentional than
direct breaking of important laws ev-
cry day in the week which go IN

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
Old Notions.

Most of my life is devoted to expos
ing the absurdity of ancient and hon
orable notions.
The most of the accepted and I'M
questioned ideas that lie in the bottom
of our minds, and that we consider as
matters of course. are not true
One of these. of not much import
ance, perhaps, and yet curiously irri-
tating to lovers of Italy. is that Italy is
a hot. disagreeable country in the sum
mer time, and that one should not dare
to so there except in winter.
The truth is exactly the reverse
Italy is unpleasant in winter; the
houses are cold and there is no pre-
vision for warming them: it is diff
cult to see real Italian life all there
is for you is the silly fashionable folk,
who are the same the world over who
congregate in the steam heated, ex-
pensive hotels.
In summer the country awakes and
laugh. 1t is never so hot as in Chica-
go, New York or Paris The nights
are always cool; and it is pleasant in
the shade anywhere during the day.
The great galleries of pictures. the
churches and palaces are delightful il.
summer, bone cold in winter.
In summer one would rather be in
Rome than in London. in Naples than
in New York. in Florence than in Ber-
lin.
Really, Italy is an ideal summer re-
sort.

There was born at the session of the
Fire Chiefs in Norwich Monday
plan which at least is worth looking
into. 1t may in the end result in what
its most enthusiastic promoters dream
of, a statewide defensive alliance
against fire. That is a good way off
to be sure, but meanwhile there are
growing up in Connecticut groups of
towns with city as center, of which
New Haven is a good example, whose
fire protection needs are growing be-
yond the present resources. Each
town must support it's own burden
of fire protection. New Haven cannot
pay for the protection of Hamden or
Branford. But if some system of mu-
tua1 cooperation can be perfected
from which both will benefit it will
be a great gain. The idea is in it's in
ception now, and very imperfectIy

years before, but citizens who believed
it was a graft measure brought ac-

there was doubt that the friends of
the scheme would dare attempt it
again. But the Connecticut breed of

the closing hours of the session, and

D. c. CHASE N
LOWER HOUSE
Made Good Record as 4 Legislator
The Campaigns Of the Years
Of 1890, 1891 and
1892,
FIRST DAILY IN THE CITY.
Launched in 1891 by W. s. Weston
Lived Nearly a Year and
a Half.
FIRST DAILY IN THE CITY.

Il y :
County by F. @. and j. w. Lee: Al
the January, 1890, session of the
Legislature, Hamilton county's repre-
sentative. D. c. Chase, Immediately
took position of prominence and
was soon recognized as one of the
strongest men in the house. At this
session he introduced bill to COM
pei railroad companies to install au-
tomato car couplers. The bill pass
ed both house and senate and receiv-
ed the approval Of the governor. 1t
was an important measure, not only
on account of the protection it gave
to the life of railroad employees, but
because it was one of the first VIC
tories gained by the people in their
fight to overthrow railroad domino
ton in the state of Iowa, for the
railroads had used their entire pow
er and influence to defeat the bill.
In speaking OF Chase's record as
Ia legislator. the Freeman makes the
following comments:
An examination of the work Of
the general assembly, Just closed,
will show the part taken in it by the
different members. The record will
show that Hon. D. G. Chase was the
peer Of any member Of the house,
and contributed his full share to the
work done by it. In speaking of him
in late number Of the Muscatine
Journal, Hon. John Mahin says:
Mr.. Chase is young man of much
promise. Early in the session he
earned the title of the young man
eloquent" by his able and brilliant
reply to a democratic speaker on
matters pertaining to the organiza-
tion and he has maintained his
reputation ever since. Mr.. Chase,
though a lawyer, took his stand with
THE granger element. and has been
leading supporter of all anti-mo-
nopoly legislation, especially such as
relates to cheapening the price of
school books. If there are no indica-
tons of tendency in that direc-
ton, Iowa has better things in store
for him than membership in the
lower house Of the legislature.
Cady Chase is well equipped for
effective work. He has strength of
mind. thorough culture and great
pertinacity. When he champions a
cause, he makes himself familiar
with all its details, and he never
falters or gives up until the end is
reached. When he made announce
ment OF his candidacy he informed
the people that he was in favor of
Governor Larrabee's policy on the
transportation questions, and would
oppose all efforts to abolish prohi-
bition and reinstate the saloon, and
he has kept his promises then made
with the utmost fidelity. In the re-
cent debate on the license bill in the
house, he was one of the leading
speakers, and his speech was very
favorably noticed by the press. IT.
