TO THE EDITOR
Right Sort of Men.


 ,.. Ed1tor. 1ake every good repubh- can, am desfrous of having the re- publican party restored to power, anu it appears to me that in order 10 0f1ne this about we must satisfy the people that our party is the best servant or Yh. rr,b1ic. We may do this by norn- inating the right sort Of men I've should have a strong s4.v ,eiS = inc srfrit of the times and name men who win give the public as emclent s.ryice ss we demand in private pusi- y1ess. 1t has been said tnal puD.c ol ice is a public trust Inis s un- douhtedly true. ana We snoe'4 s to this T %asisve that our present attorney 9anarai Judge John H. Light. has per forrned the duties of his omce Tn oo.n the letter and spirit of this pr1ncipIe' and that he is entitled to renonllna- ton. -. ss T
 take pride in his success. Tor l had a, considerable share in bringing about his nomination four years ago. He did not seek She ofnce, the once sought him, and everyone who knows anytflins about it comedies that he has made for himself an excellent record: am told that he has been sustained f,y tfie supreme court Of errors in eV- erv case in which one Of his depart mental opinions has been contested, and this should be the very best test of his judgment and learning as law yer. The office of attorney-g IS too important to the state to De maoe .the football of politics.. and pe- lie.-e that the office should be hlleo with as much care as any 5udgeshfp.
 When a prudent business man neeos counsel in his private affairs he goes to the best lawyer he can find, and II is the duty of the republican party to observe equal care in the affairs o1 the state. If it fails to do so, it de serves to be defeated, and probably will be.
 We should not close our eyes to tht fact that there is g. growing spirit oi indspendence in politics. It was really that sort of spirit which led men tt break away from the old whig party and form the republican party. Now, if we would win the indepen dent vote, we must nominate our bes men for every place on the ticket. It was painful to read in a Bridge port Taper recently that while Judg Lights fine record would attract vote at the polls, 1t would not help him t. obtain a renonination in a republican convention. I do not believe this, an, want the convention to justify m. faith.
 Respectfully.

THE STAY AT JORDAN'S

1 her, she entered into every form of amusement. She could shoot, row, golf and dance till the stars dirnrned. Nevertheless, at the end of the month Ruth had landed a very creditable mat r1monial prize. Lettie herself was not in the least chagrined, but Mrs. Layson was furi- ous- You are prettier than Ruth, D she told her. and ought to do better A half-open bud is always more at- tractfve than the full flower, but vol, are not clever. Ruth is forbid you to give another minute to these low acquaintances you have formed Kind ly remember that you are here for another purpose and under my orders Your mother is as disappointed in you as am. You have her to consider in this thing as well as yeurseif--reInen- Der that also. And-but I'll give you one more chance--your last. Now, it's up to you.''
 Lettie was crushed. but by the time the event of the season, formal dance at the hotel, came on, she had recov- cred her composure and her spirits. A beautiful dress had been ordered for her from the city. and to herself she confessed that in it she looked really very well. She wondered if she shouldn't have a proposal before the evening was over To be sure, she
 
 posal would come. but anybody with money would do. And that meant just anybody, for no moneyless person ever came to Jordan's.
 Then sine foated into the ballroom and in a. moment had forgotten her matrimonial endeavorS as completely as though she had neysr had any. The music and lights and costumes and waItzes were so bewilderiag lovely that time simply ceased.
 But next morning she realized that she was still an unengaged girl.
 Ruth and f,'' Mrs. Layson was telling her. "are leaving for the lake fete. II will be necessary for you to remain al home to meet MT. Winters. I made the appointment for Il o'clock. He's a lit- tie old, to be sure. and widower. as might have done better for yourself if you had tried. but you wouldn't Your mother Is pleased. It will be 3 great thing for her. You have that tc consider as well as your own feelings Don't disappoint her. Her heart is IT it.'
 She swept on, and Lettie sat limp feeling that stone wall had suddenly encircled her. If her mothers hap. piness was at stake, then perhaps sh, ought to. But the thought of having for a husband the stingy, unfatherly father of the three motherless etil. dren made her drop in a shiveriIig heap And there seemed no way out of it Again and again she circied the wal for loophole. but there was none. Slowly the hands of the wall clocl approached II o'clock, the time for MT Winters call, and Lettie rose to he feet white and desperate. "I'H do it. she said. 'Tl1 tell her so."

AMERICAN GOODS FIRST.

The campaign which has been start "a in behalf of American made goods us one which deserves to be taken up with vigor and pushed from one end of the country to the other It is nothing new which is being urged for the interests of the country, but 1t Is sgettiug a new impetus because of out side events. Development of Ameri- tcan industries is what has been urged sby the republican principle of pro- tectiye tariff for decades but a new IreaIization of dts value is made pos- tsible by the situation in which this country finds itself through depend- seuce upon foreign industry, to the neglect of our own.
 In this connection it is interesting ito note that during the year ending with July the nerchandise imported into this country reached the large total of $1s9l5.O00, 900, the greatest in the countryes history. and during that same period our trade balance show ed drop of s25oooo, 900. These twelve months 1t will be remembered zepreeent conditions under democratic control and to large degree the fig- fslreg re6uIted from the operations of fte dtmocratic. tariff bill. The longer It ts in force the more startling be- come the disclosures.
 Even though the war had not oc- >ctlrred to emphasize the need of this country looking out for itself, the trade conditions were sufficient to call at tentfon to the surprising situation. The war has. however, served to show the importance of American products and manufactures and the likewise valuable principle which means their encour- agement- Made in America" should get proper recognition.

CUTTING THE COST.

The experiment. which is now being tried in the city of New York for the bringing down of the cost of living through the establishment of city mar kets for the sale of produce is bound to be watched with critical interest by every other section of the coun- try High prices are not a condition which New York alone suffers from and if the plan for helping the con- eumer which is on trial there proves a success it is going to be a pointer for the rest of the country.
 Such markets mean the return to the days of the market basket and the morning visit to the shops. This fs against the methods which have of late years come into vogue and it reSnains to be seen whether the buyers can be induced to abandon giving their orders over the telephone or by mes- senger, and return to the excellent practice of going into the market and getting foodstuffs which are fresh and cheap. To this extent the experiment Is one which rests largely with the family buyer 1t remains to be seer whether the opportunity to make such a. saving will be taken advantage of.
 The Furnishing of a market place te the raisers of produce free of charge Is benefit to the producer He is thereby able to get in touch with the consumer and probably get slightly better price for his goods than through a distributor. He is also given chance at the trade which turns tt the peddIers. It is thus case of sel. help for both the producer and tn, consumer, but it all depends upon tn, willingness of the householder ano farmer to sacrifice the accommodate, of the buying and selling which ha. been done for them in the past Ar they going to be willing to do tn nnfddemanEs work for his profit?

JULY FOURTH ACCIDENTS.

Once again the summary of the cas- nazties attending the celebration of the Fourth of July shows the wide spread recognition throughout the country of the value of a safe and Baue observance. The report which aas been made by the American Med aca1 Association Journal reads like the list from some battlefield and is un- fortmately not as good as for the previous year since the total of h506 accidents, including the injuries as well as the fatalities. shows an in- crease aof 34S. yet it means a marked drop from g, few years ago

Jordan's was a fashionable summer resort. Time was when families on neighboring ranches and dwellers in the nearby towns luxuriated for a month | oaks. revelins, in miles of views, a de- | lightful atmosphere, and the pleasures that only a fine lake can give. That, though, was when tepees were the bed chambers and all outdoors was kitchen. dining room and sitting room. That, too. was when Ruth and Lettie Davidson and their mother were regu- lar visitors and knew and loved every foot of the beautiful nook.
 Good old times those, but forever Jcroan's, a. thing the Davidson's knew little about. Ruth, a teacher in the city, needed every cent of her salary. Lett1e. IT, was counting the weeks till her 18th birthday. That important moment was to see her metamorphosed into a capable" and also into a bread winner for the family. The majesty of the law was involved in the one event. the school board of her native town had promised responsibility for the other.
 Lettie, meanwhile, was assistant to her mother, village seamstress since her husbands death and before either of the daughters could remember, but now so broken that sewing was a mat ter of holding out till Lettie should be IS. Her whole hope was in Lettie. Ruth she had long ago given up.
 She loves pretty things and gay times so." she and Lettie told each other apologetically, as year after year went and Ruth continued to forget their need. neither of them bringing herself to the point of admitting the truth. And Ruth wa going to Jordan's Her letter contained no explanations, just the fact that she would be home for a week before going on to Jordan's for the summer.
 Then Ruth came, and almost in her footsteps Mrs. Lawson, a sister whom Mrs. Davidson had not seen since their days of young ladyhood. Mrs. Layson was g. widow now herself and very wealthy. She was a. woman of quick perception, too. and with a will of her own At the end of the week she came from the room where Ruth was pack ing.
 Jennie" she said, you made a mess of your marriage. You'll probably do the same for your daughters of you are allowed to do tl1esmanaging. Ruth and Iettie are pretty girls. They ought try to get your looks back. A woman, no matter what her age, is nothing without looks. I'll take you all to Jordan's for a month and see what can do in the way of marrying the girls off. But" she stopped, and back of her glasses beamed pair of de- termined eyes-'Tll have no interfer- ence. Things will be as say. After Jordan swell, that's another matter to be talked of later.'
 Ruth and Lettie could scarcely be- lleve their ears. Immediately they were transported into the widest raptures. Mrs. Davidson even caught the enthusiasm and seemed another woman.
 Then the day of their arrival came From the first moment Ruth was al ease, conducting herself as to the man. ner born. n Lettie was so happy that more than once she was in danger Of soaring off and with each occasion she felt the weight of her aunt's firm hand.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

The fear of a possible conscription for service in the war is said to have brought Canadians into the potato growing regions of Maine in such num- bers that farm laborers can now be hired for as low as one dollar a day that figure in former years. But will Maine potatoes be any cheaper?- Bridgeport Standard.
 Goodness knows, 1t matters not whether Connecticut's reads are built by a democrat, a. republican. pro- gressive or a socialist so long as they satisfy conditions of modern traffic and are constructed and maintained with a minimum of expenditure.

 It is rather strange, considering the claim made by Germany that the war is a struggle of German culture against Russian barbarisn1, that all of the vio- lations of neutrality, of the laws of war and the spirit of higher civiliza- ton should be committed by the ex- penent of culture.

 Nature is at it's best. The verdure of the fields and hillsides is rich The harvest is plenteous. The treasures which the season of fruitage brings are sure to be abundant. On days when the sun condescends to shine, the land
 scape is a scene of understandable charm. Already the autumn flora has provided many touches of rainbow brightness. Let 1t do its best while it may have the background of more sombre green, for presently will come g. voluptuous riot of autumn leaves that will eclipse and swamp all the little flowers can do. So welcome September. It has great possibilities. Most of us, let us hope, are in a mood to make the most of thern.-New Haven Register.
 Civilization or no civilization, there's been few years from the beginning of the Christian era when there hasn't been a. war of some kind going on somewhere in the world, with a big one every generation or so. yet the present war, only, a month old, is con- demned as the worst ever and there are a number of folks optimistic enough to prophecy that this will be the last great war, because civilization as much of it as is not killed off | will be so shocked at the cruelty and barbarity of it all that universal peace will be demanded. That's pure optim- l ism and one may form his own conclu sions as to whether it is well founded l Waterbury Republican.

A Lafitte Treasure Isle

Eager watch will be kept for the re-
turn of twin expeditions that have just
left New Orleans to search for gold
buried by old Jean Lafitte, the pirate,
SLAYER and smuggler of Barataria Bay,
La, and Galveston Island, Texas.
The scourage of the Gulf of Mexico
knew too well what is expected of ex-
perienced piracy and all-around salt
water outlawry not to have buried
some of his spoil Only the more dis
appointing types of his profession fail
to do that or to leave quaint charts to
be handed down from one generation
.of honest seamen to another. The two
bands of gold-seekers are in bitter
rivalry and undoubtedly have aboard
"a full complement of Jack Silvers and
other persons necessary to the purpose
Of capable conspiring. All essential
conditions for another Treasure Is
land seem therefore to have been
painstakingly provided for. In fact, as
the two expeditions said in different
ships, the possible range of action is
even broader and more intricate than

Gold-hunting with swokeless pow
