THE NEW LONDON BILL.

When the state senate took action upon the repeal of the New London harbor appropriation, 1t was undoubt- edly influenced, by the statement of Senator McNeil that the state was in need of curbing it's expenditures and that it could not afford in view of the prospects to permit the action of the
 last general assembly to stand. Sem
 ator McNeil has championed the re-
 peal of this bill on the grounds of economy, but with the amendment
 which it carries, that is entirely ig-
 nored, and the real purpose seems to
 be to defeat what would be for the advantage of the state if New Lon
 don cannot be squeezed for large
 contribution.
 If the plea of economy is good and the state cannot afford it, the burden has not been lessened by the tacking on of a quarter of a million to be raised otherwise. It then becomes two burdens instead of one. It has been repeatedly stated that the mill lion dollar appropriation will be suffi- cient to complete the harbor improve ments and there has been no appeal for any additional appropriations, be no cause for demanding the addi- is totally ignored.
 The action of the senate with a bare majority fortunately does not settle the matter. The house should take a saner view of the situation and re- call that it not only received the sane ton of the last legislature but is in line with action which every state with a seacoast is taking Progress Is not made by standing still.

| biscuits. T don't mind it in the least, I assured myself when the first guest arrived before I had got out of my kitchen ginEhams. and ushered her of no eonseQuenCe,' I said when I ! recalled that Sadie White. who was to be present, always had things done
 up to the last notch when she enter tained and was horribly scritica1. The luncheon went off just as badly as it was possible for a lunSheon to go. Then the dressmaker phoned that she had accidentally dropped a bottle crepe I had taken to her for dress and what should she do about it? She must have thought I was insane when I chortled, Oh. never mind. Don't worry It will be all right.'
 Sadie White spent most of the af- ternoon telling about the wonderful
 luncheons she had gone to elsewhere
 in her life and explaining how she
 loved harmony in the home. That was
 just after she ostentatiously dusted
 off her hand. which she had laid down
 on her chair arm. I beamed through
 it all. I was quite calm when another
 woman said she had seen a table cover
 just like the one I paid $10 for reduced
 to $1.9o a another store. l was also calm when Mabel called me on the
 phone and. in spite of hints that I had
 mostly about Sadie White and then wondered why I made such wild an- swers to her remarks.
 +I still moved serenely when the postman brought a bunch of bills just as the guests were leaving and Mrs. Grimp said, Oh, do you get bills in the middle of the month? How oddi Still, I suppose they keep sending 'em if one doesn't pay promptly
 T went upstairs, still smiling, when they had gone and looked at myself calmly in the glass. As I looked I saw that in my hurry I had pinned the rat in my coiffure and totally for got to cover it with my switch. My head looked just like heather idols. And all those six women were doubt less at that minute giggling about it.
 Then my smile cracked. I threw the hair brush at q picture the wall and smashed the glass, I kicked the rug into 8 ball and then kicked it some more. I yanked my dress off and tore it. I pounded the couch cushions and declared that I hated eV- erybody and everything and I'd like to boil the cook in oil and throw the dressmaker and Sadie White in after her. Then I felt better. I haven't quite caught my breath yet, but the relief is trem mendous. Being placid through trials is a fraud.

ETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Citizenship.

MT. Editor: Will you kindly give space to what Herbert Spencer says: Citizenship does not include only the giving of votes It includes also cer- tain serious responsibilities. But If so, there cannot be equality of citizenship unless along with the share of good that goes the share of evil. To call that equality of citizenship under which some have their powers gratis, while others pay for their powers by undertaking risks, is absurd. Now men, whatever political powers they may in any case possess are at the same time severaIly liable to the loss of liberty, to the privation and oc- casionally to the death consequent on having to defend the country and if women along with the same political powers have not the same liabilities, their position is not one of equality, but one of supremacy. Unless, there fore women furnish substitutes to the army. and navy such as men furnish, it is manifest that ethically consid- cred the question of the equal political rights, so called. of women, cannot be entertained until there is reached state of permanent peace.

She said she had been hired to do second work not cook ing, and if people hadn't any more had her opinion Of 'em and, rlease, she'd like to give a weeks notice.

FARMS FOR EMPLoYEs.

The state has no more enthusiastic
 farmer than Charles M Jarvis of New
 Britain, who is also a the head of the
 American Hardware corporation. MT.
 Jarvis is earnestly seeking a better
 ment of the farming conditions and
 results in Connecticut and is taking
 an active interest in the promotion of the back to the farm idea not simply as the president of the Connecticut Agricultural society, but because of his belief that therein lies great possi-
 bilitfes even in this commonwealth and there is need for the proper de- velopment of such an industry for the welfare of the state and it's people
 Mir. Jarvis in his latest scheme of fers to his employees the privilege of helping to contribute to a reduction in the cost of living by becoming farmers and tiIIing a portion of the company's land which. with seed is of fered free to those who are interested. This community idea of farming is bound to have an excellent effect Not only does it offer the opportunity to hundreds who could get it in no other way but it builds for the future an interest in this line of effort which means promising results. It is in line with the idea of the Hartford man who recently announced a plan for giving the workingman a chance to operate a small farm. MT Jarvis is enthusiastic farmer himself and has taken wide interest in the deveI- opment of corn growing in Connect icut to such an extent that a prize for the best ensilage has been offered by him. It is such efforts as these which not only create, but 1aintair the necessary interest in the farm and better farming.

TheophiIus Y. Winship.

MT. Editor: As an acquaintance of MT. T. Y. Winship I should like to say few things of him which your excellent obituary did not touch. Mr. Theophilus Y. Winship was always a most entertaining conversationalist and was in various ways a remark able man. He appeared to be a suc- cess in anything he undertook. He not only took first rank as a business man and as a farmer, but also as a workman and a searcher after truth. He could take piece of antique fur niture and restore it to it's pristine beauty with the skill of an expert cab inet maker and after he was three score and ten he was delving in the mysteries and beauties of nature with a microscope the revelations of which he quietly enjoyed for years.

EFFICIENT AND ECONOMICAL.

It is valuable demonstration which has been given by the one piece of auto fire apparatus in this city, Pur- chased for the purpose of introducing economy and efficiency into the de- partment the record of maintenance for the first year is in accordance with what had been claimed as a feat ure of motor driven equipment With a maintenance account of s55 for 12 months, it represents a. saving of over $500 for the first year on horses. the maintenance of which alone wound have cost $660. At that rate had the six pieces of horse driven apparatus been motors there would have been a sav- Ing in the operating expense of S3,6O0 Its maintenance and operation in- cluding an accident which was no fault of the apparatus was less than half the cost of maintaining a pair of horses.
 Norwich has now worked out what has been claimed for the autos in other cities where they have been given a thorough trial and found to be the necessary thing for fire depart ment equipment. The test under which the machine has been put in this city has borne out all that it's advocates could have hoped for and shown that the auto is as far ahead of the horse drawn apparatus as the horses were better than the hand drawn reels in the days of the volun- teer department. The auto means prompt response, availability at an in stant's notice and in all weather and the power to negotiate the hills with put cruelty overtaxing animals. Such with the overcoming of the large up- keep makes everything in favor of the automobile

he never lost interest in the advance of science or the affairs of men. He always kept alive to the age in which he lived and found delight in knowl- edge and truth.
 I always found him to be 8 man of a most comprehensive spirit, dis Hker of all false pretense and vain show. and & commender of every good quality in his feliowmen.
 His strong individuality was always noticeable. He never believed a thing because someone else believed 1t, or praised thing because 1t was the fad to do so. His mind and conscience demanded the why and the where fore and his conclusions were usually with him in his convictions, but we always respected his opinions, because he was a man of honesty and honor. He had a hope in spirit manifest. a faith in God, and doubtless an assur- ing conscience which said: When I go home I shall be travel

PRESIDENTS AND GIFTS.

Every president finds that upon taking office he is immediately swamp ed with gifts from admiring friends from all corners of the country. The gifts vary in value and significance and are sent with different motives, the bulk of them being from utter strangers and the attention demand ed by them becomes a nuisance. It has been so with his predecessors and it is not surprising that President Wilson takes similar course as they when he returns those of value from other than personal friends
 Not a small portion of the gifts are from clever persons who seek thereby to get some free advertising for their products as the array of articles quickly discIoses Curiosities. trinkets and animals are likewise included so that the entire collection would pro- vide interesting material for a mu- scum. It is a method which not few take for attempting to secure fla VOr for themselves or their friends in the matter of appointments. or for securing publicity. whiles there are those who feel called upon to respond out of the goodness of their hearts.
 There is a holiday gift which is made to the president from Rhode Is land each year which deserves to be retained and from all records 1t has been. When Horace Vose selects a tur- key. the best to be found, for the pres fdent's table. he is not seeking polit- ica1 preference else he would have long ago landed a job. It is safe to say his gift will be retained. even though the president may insist upon paying for it.

RoosEvELT,s POSITION.

When Col. Roosevelt declared at the
 conference at Philadelphia that the
 progressive party was working to
 bring to the work of social research
 the four fundamentals of accuracy
 impartiality, order and coolheaded zeal
 he made declarations which cause no
 little surprise in connection with his
 attitude as the leader of the party and
 it's adviser. This is a striking con- trast to his, conduct during the cam paign of 1912 The Springfield Union
 well says: How strong this endeavor has been will be appreciated by all who recall the coloneIs coolheaded- ness. his kindly good will, his accuracy and his fine impartia1ity in the pres idential primary and election cam paigns last year. The dispassionate manner in which he referred to Pres ident Taft as a receiver of stolen goods, and his impartial character ization of every member of the re- publican party as worse than pick pocket are too well remembered to require comment. The colonels cool headed zeal in denouncing everybody who opposed his third term ambition as a thief or a crook, and his kind Iy good will toward his opponents on all occasions were striking features of the campaign of 1912. It is well to know that these four fundamentals are to be preserved It gives the country a line on what it is in for.''
 This new platform would indicate that there had been a change. It might indicate that he had had a vision and seen the folly of his pre- yious course. The sincerity of his l new declaration can best be deter ! mined by past actions and future ap- plication.
