 The comment Of the New Haven Journa1-Courier on the speeches made Monday evening in Bridgeport by Een- man E. J. Hill contains an insinuatfon friends of the two distinguished statesmen shudder. The insinuating remark is contained in the following sentence.
 Their talks to the Republicans Of Bridgeport, Monday evening, as re- ported in the newspapers, were 1ugu- brious enough to turn the water, if it was water, at the tables into salt tears.
 It is not easy to understand why cur New Haven contem porary should entertain a doubt that the liquids which were on the table were any thing but water, of different varieties, perhaps, but all coming under the general head of water. The weak ar guments of the orators in their att tempt to discredit the statesnansfip of President Wilson suggested water Like the view which met the eyes of the Ancient Mariner there was 'swae ter, water everywhere" The insin- uation in the Journal-CouTier, which, no doubt, is unwarranted, is a teKnpta- ton to finish the quotation from Cole ridges poem and add: ''Nor any drop to drink But we will not yield to the temptation even though our ob- stinacy may give the color of proba- biIity to the impression that the Re- publicans of Bridgeport, with John T. King at their head, have become the social imitators of the prohibitionists.

PASS PRIvILAGE ON STREET RAILROADS
 IS UNDER THE BAN


 Harrisburg, Pa, SJans 1--The public utilities act. legally known as the pub lie service company law, passed by the last Pennsylvania legislature, came into full effect with the beginning of the new year. It is administered by commission of seven appointed by the governor. The new act affects every public service corporation in tns state
 The commission has the power to supervise and regulate the adequacy and safety of ali public service conn pany plants and also the service rend- cred. It has power to regulate rates, if they are found, after a public hear ing, to be unreasonable. The com mission also has authority in the mat ter of the issuance of stocks or bonds. Accepting the interpretations of counsel that the new law prohibits the issuance of free transportation within the state to all except eTnployes, the railroads today discontinued the pass privilege to all except their employees.

JOHN IS NOT THAT
 KIND OF A MOSES
(New Haven Union)

They gave big banquet in Bridge
 port Monday night to MT. John T.
 King, ex-lobbyist of the New Haven
 railroad. We use the "ex'' advised1y since MT. Elliott has announced that
 the railroad he runs, will no longer
 mix up in things political or in legis-
 lative affairs; and especially since Mir.
 B. D. Robbins has shuff1ed off part
 of his railroad coil.
 Whether it is the European trip from which the genial John has just
 returned-certain1y the educatfve in- duences of travel are not to be under estimated--or whether 1t was merely
 the enthusiasm of the movement, we know not; but certainly MT. King
 made at this banquet in his honor a very remarkable speech-for John. He spoke from experience when he
 said that "our politics is not a pas tirne.'' Certainly Johns politics has
 more nearly resembled business We are also pleased to learn from this ex-lobbyfst that ''tf1e day has gone by when you can make promises in politics and not fulfill them,'' that you cannot pull wool over the eyes of the people as was done 10 years ago." because "the people of the Unit ed States have awakened to a realiza- ton that they have been exploited by corrupt politicians Great stuff, this, coming, as it does from this political ex-henchman of the railroad. He is speaking as an expert and it will be noted that he placed the pulling of wool lover the eyes of the people" with great definiteness as '10 years ago" That would make the date 1908, when the. Republican party MT.
 King exto1s, ruled supreme in both our road MT. King so long and so ably represented, was all powerful in our legislative halls at Hartford.
 MT. King also opfnes that ''there is an opinion in the community that 1 politics is more or less a crooked game But, he continues, 'tthe man of sufficient brains who realizes inn morality in our midst should be jailed 1 if he does not take part in purifying g tI1en' Of course that's what John l trying to do in Bridgeport; but hon 1 est people would take lot more stock l in his present day fine professions if they didn't know his lobby record so well. If the people of Connecticut
 have come to the conclusion that po1i- i tics is ga crooked game men like
 John T. King have not helped whole ] lot to disabuse them of such belief
 by their political actions in the past. 1 Personally we like MT. King. His i word is as good as his bond, and his i bond is mighty good He is what ! men delight in calling "a good fellow ;''
 but for years his politics have been 1 bounded north, east, south and west : by the New Haven railroad and all i that means. Time and circumstance, l railroad changes and European travel,
 may have even worked their reform in
 John; but believe us, he is not the
 kind of Moses would choose to
 lead the people of Connecticut any l where else out of the wilderness of
 corrupt po1iticS-even knowing, as we
 dos how well John knows such a will
 derness from his long time experience
 with the railroad he faithfully serv- !. ed.
 If John, however. has really re- formed. if he honestly fa welded to all

John T. King, the Republican lead CT of Fairfield county, puzzled his friendly audience at the dinner given in his homer at the Stratfield in Bridgeport, Monday evening, when he drew distinction between q "pro- gressive platform and constructive policy He said that two years ago the Republicans of Bridgeport went before the people with the former. At the election last month the latter was their Bflibboleta. It may well be ask ed if MT. King meant to convey that party can be progressive without be- ing constructive. If he did his state Enent is an admission that the Repub- iean administration of Bridgeport during the past two years did not stand for constructive local legisla- ton. Perhaps MT. King meant, in a subtle way, to direct attention to the party of the bull moose-which he and his associate leaders hold respon- sib1e for the rnisfortutnes of the Re- publican psrty-swith the view of showing that party can be progress sive and at the same time not con structive.

dear husband about the claims Of
Ireland for home rule, but one day
when he came into the breakfast
room he remarked to me: "Nly dear
wife, you've overpersuaded me about
that downtrodden country. You
have at last converted me in favor
of home rule" | got up from my
