NEW STRIKE HALTS
 HIGH SCHOOL WORK


 Another strike at the new High school and the continued carting away of bricks which had been attached, marked today's development in the stormy progress of building the tenn pie of learning. The strike was start ed by teamsters who were dissatis- fled because they had too much work to perform. Because there is not enough men employed in the work, 1t was claimed that the teamsters had to assist in loading the carts which were taking away stone that had been excavated.
 The strike, which occurred at Ii a. rh., stopped work of any kind for about an hour. After the noon hour, the cement mixers and other em- pIoyes resumed operations but at 2 o'clock no teamsters had returned to the job.

THE CANDIDATE AND HIS VOICE

~ 0LA ROOSEVELT, being ordered by his A-< physician to quit campaign speaking on account of a weak throat may now reflect on the connection between vocal cords and po- litical success A bad throat has often upset governments and shifted political history
 Not long ago campaign orator was ex- pected to make but two or three speeches a day. He would leisurely travel from hall to hall. His voice was compelled merely to meet the strain common to all legislators and law yers.
 Today the race for ballots puts the ora tor in a flying automobile. Crowds of voters gather at the cross roads, in much the same spirit as on annual circus day. The candidate must talk 20, 30. or more times day His voice is lost in the immensity of out doors To make people hear, he must rasp his throat. It is the most sensitive tissue in the body. Not one in twenty has one made Of rubber or glltta pefeha
 So most politicians voices go bad The ColoneFs, voice has queer falsetto trick, due to make people laugh by voice antics, but his friends say he can't help it that it is a eondi- ton brought on by over-use.
 Theoretically, the voters read the speeches in the papers and make up their minds facts. logic, and argument. Actually the campaign automobile speech gathers in the votes. Peo- pie are moved by the personal contact If a man shows that he has force alertness, ca pacity for swift thrust and parry, and if he plays skillfully on the mental attitude of the nearer, he gets the votes, even if the five min ute speech is only q kind of how dye do good-by."

MOT A COINCIDENCE

LITTLE WHILE back Mayor Wilson as EAz sisted in turning some paving con- tracts in the path of Warren BroA. in man. ner to cause them the minimum amount of trouble and anxiety.
 About the time the contracts were signed, or a little later, one Harold J. Wilson, who had been employed in Warner Bros. corset factory. at an unknown stipend, was employed by War rem Bros, to have charge of a paving gang on. one of the contract streets.
 It being suggested to Mayor Wilson that the employment of his brother was a "coinci dence, he somewhat indignantly repudiated the assertion seeming to desire it to be beIiev- language
 They have right to say what they please just as my brother or anyone else has 8 right to work where he wants to. understand the coEnpany E putting 2 pig force of Bridgeport men on T5 or 80 at least and tnere is no coinei dence in their jobs, is there2 There is no CO incidence in my brothers end of it, either, no naAsr what may be suggested.
 Of course the affair either was or not 5ozncidence Let us inquire by mathemati- cal method into the likelihood that it was a colneidence
 About the time young bks. Wilson changes from corsets to paving. and about the time the Warrenite contracts were made Bridgeport had population of 445,00O persons, of whom about 25OOO would be men old enough to work.
 If Warren Bros were to employ just one man, and that man should turn out to be the mayors brother he would have been selected with 24o00 chances against him to one in his favor
 But the mayor says that Warren Bros. enn- pIoyed 80 men, So that the mayors brother, had one chance in 3it of getting a job by coinci- dence.
 But these figures apply to common labor CTS, and the mayors brother is employed as a foreman
 What is the Likelihood, under the laws of chance that Warren Bros. would pick fore man of paving from a corset factory, who would also be the brother of the mayor?
 Roughly speaking we should say it would be about the same chance the same kind of a person would have of getting the job if his brother wasn't mayor and there weren't con tracts

aREDOUBTABLE JERRY''
New Britain Herald. ;


 tAI1 am afraid of is that Jerry
 Donoyanf won't run for congress
 this fall said a prominent Demo
 crat who is waiting for an oppor-
 tunity to exercise his birthright
 when Jerry runs again.-Bridge-
 port Telegram.
 There need be no fear on that ac- count. Jerry will run and will run hard and his platform will be as sound as himself. Jerry's platform will be twenty-four hours day for every member of congress and short ses- sions He is always on the job him self, he objects if the seats are not full when Champ Clark raps for order and when he raps again for bed time Congressman Hobson played truant so often that Jerry hunted him up, took his record and when the hero of the Spanish-American war sought a pa-o- motion in Alabama he didn't get it. All of those who are planning Jerry s retirement in the south part of the state should recall what happened to Hobson and remember that Jerry now is the same Jerry he was then
 In preparing a place to deposit a man like Jerry care should be taken that it is large enough to acconmo- date him comfortably and that the force behind the movement is sufi- ciently large to prope1 him into the opening in the event of his refusal to go voluntarily. Jerry IS a DIE man, a bit obstreperous at times and when aroused is not particular as to who the arouser is or where he halls from. The prominent Democrat alluded to by the esteemed Te1egrom, who is losing his sleep in his excitement lest the opportunity to sideswipe Jerry be de- nied him, may be a disappointed cam didate for office and if he is such all we have to say is that Jerry has his number and is ready for him. The odds are still on Jeremiah

DIsHoNEsT4 IN TIE BUSINESS WORLD

A N ATTORNEY of wide experience in me A tropolitan life, was talking few days ago about the recent revelation of crooked finance in railroad and other corporation af- fairs It seemed to him that one-half of the business men he knew were dishonest. He thought half of the other half would not do any thing positively crooked, but would wink at it if they saw it going through in a way to profit them. If this is a fair judgment, it is one of a number of reasons why the stock market tic ker is almost held down by cobwebs.
 The development of great corporations has created certain types of dishonesty. Just as the reporter of metrop opoIitan yellow journal is protected by the nnpersonaIity of the big ma chine he works for, so the managers of big cor porations are long way from the stockholders. They feel inaccessible. But when they ''put over wrong deal, some one always knows It may become for the advantage of that some one to give up his information
 In the smaller cities and country towns business men seem to be pretty honest. It pays them to be se the bad bargain comes back quicker than the cat The discouraging side of business life is the freedom with which many people will lie outright, and look you in the eye when they do it. People overlook lie too tolerantly.
 that they underestimate peoples intelligence f to be laughable People who try to '.get away" with these shallow tricks should be outlawed The public is bewildered by complicated transactions of big corporations and jugglery of millions. Financiers will find from now on that the simpler the business form is, the easier the stock will sell
