Senate as soon as the Panama Canal tolls
repeal bill had been disposed OF. II he
succeeds the bill will come up imme-
diately for discussion, and even the most
optimistic Senators see a long debate
ahead for it, There is a strong sentiment
to pass merely the trade commission bill
and adjourn, the belief being that such
LEGISLATION is sufficient for the present.
Whether this spirit will prevail is a
matter for speculation.
Although no record vote was taken In
the Commerce Commission to-day sew
eral Senators are known to have been
opposed to any motion to put any sort OF
trust legislation before the Senate at this
time. Senator Brandagee "a Republican
member of the committee, tonight issued
a statement saying:
I'm view Of the widespread business de-
preston and the apprehension which pre-
walls in commercial and financial centres,
I regard the projection of these questions
concerning the further inspection and
regulation of business by the federal gov
eminent into the Congressional arena at
this time as a grave mistake.

Rush Of Schemes Foreseen.

1.-The measure creating this commission
will serve as vehicle upon which TO
load all the other propositions granting
further regulatory and inquisitorial pow
ers to the various federal commissions.
Il do not think that worn and exas-
perated Congress which has been in conc
tinuous session for more than. a year
should be forced to enter upon the discus
sion Of all these intricate and controvert-
ed questions in midsummer on he eve OF
a nationwide political campaign.
Il do not think the agitation and DEBATE
will tend to restore confidence to the dis
tracted and dropping business OF the
country. I think the best service Congress
can render is 20 pass the appropriation
bills and adjourn and let the country nave
a rest and if possible "ecover It's own
wits"

BRIDGEPORT'S CLEANUP PROGRAM
 EXCELLENT BUT ONE SIDED

T UST NOW BRIDGEPORT is in the throes aV of being cleaned up, corrected, spank ed and improved. One set of gentlemen tell us to shovel up our ashes and paint our homes Another set of gentlemen warn us to keep our cellars fixed up to keep fire losses down An other set have more or less expensive plans for making the city as beautiful Arabian paradise
 All of these things excellent All of the gentlemen who are doing them should be commended. They are all things that need to be done. But after all, the program is a little one sided It is aimed too much at the little people, and not enough at the big people.
 The people of Bridgeport may paint, pa per, and fix up plenfifully, but they7W not be clean while they compelled to drink water their lanndryman won't use without fill tering-
 Bridgeporf has been taking most elaborate precautions against fire, for many years BuiIdings are nearer fire proof, the depart. menf is larger and all Of permanent men, cost ly auto apparafzs has been installed, and the. fire losses have been kept very low, for years But the payments to fire insurance companies have. been growing steadily, and will continue to grow, for almost nobody arises who will take the trouble to see that the city which de-. ereases its fire losses shall, at the same tme decrease its charges for fire protection
 Are water monopolies so terrible and the fire insurance trust awe inspiring that we have thousands for clean up campaigns among the little people, but nothing to compel justice from the big people?

KOHINOOR.

The first owner of the famous Kohinoor or Mountain of Light diamond was. according to legend. the hero karna, whose deeds are celebrated in the ..Mahabharata,'' and who is said to have carried the great stone some 5000 years ago. The Kohinoor. which was brought to England from India sixty-four years ago today. April 6, 1850, and pre- sented to Queen Victoria, the follow ing July, made it's first authentic ap- century, when Ala-ed-din carried it to Delhi. At that time it was said to have weighed 793 carats. fIt ap- peared in the great diamond parket of Golconda in 1850. The lack of skill of a Venetian lapidary, Hortensio Borghese, reduced it's weight to 279 carats. After the sack of Delhi in .1739 the diamond went to Afghanis- tan, and it belonged in turn to several the possession of the Sikh chief, Run jeet Singh. Upon the abdication of the last. ruler of the Punjab, and the annexation of his dominfons to the British empire, in 1849. the great stone became the property of the them presented to Queen Victoria. It was recut soon afterward, and now weighs 1o2 IA carats. It is beyond price, although $16, 6,0O0,000 has been given as a fair valuation.

THE INATrENTIon OF coNGREssMEN

IT IS THE uniform report of people the. 1 ground at Washington, that the ses- sions of Congress are but poorly attended Ii takes good slamming debate to show half the members on the floor.
 The members of Congress are paid $7, 800 each The majority of them are boarders at moderate priced hotels. Congress is not in session more than two-thirds of the time Any business corporation engaging their services would expect them to devote their entire time Yet the Congressman drift back and forth be- tween their homes and Washington, and busi- ness drags for lack of quorums-
 Perhaps one reason for this dawdline and tnattention is the feeling of most of the legis- amounts 10 little They obey the call of the party leader. If they turn up at the. closely disputed roll-calls, they feel that the rest of the lime can be spent on private business, or trotting around the departments to find jobs for constituents.
 Yet it would seem that if man had am bition he would mark out wider scope of use fulness. Even the Legislator make himself felt Let him study the subjects com Ing before his committee, acquiring broad range of facts and all points of view. When his committee gives hearings and shapes bills, he will be in a position to put some questions That will arouse interest. His disposition to go lo the heart of a thing will attract notice. The party leaders will mark him.
 If he gets 6 reelection, he will have a much better committee appointment The level of ability in Congress is not prohibitive to the man of average talents who is willing to do U little digging. One would think that apart from considerations Of duty, it would be a pay ing proposition to work in this thorough way.

MODEST GAS co. OFFICERS
TTHoUT ASSUMING relationship
 XV tween. gas and The Bridgeport s

XK ITHOUT ASSUMING a relationship be- WY tween gas and The Bridgeport Stan dard it is nevertheless true that our contem- porary's news of the gas hearings before the Utilities Commission is sadly distorted. Mr. David s. Day, for instance, is feelingly pictured as begging the commission not to tell what the salaries of the officers of the gas company are, because Representative Lynn ". Wilson wants to print it'
 The fact is, however, that MT. Days clients were tearful1y begging the commission to excuse them from obeying its order to pro- duce those facts
 Since the commission ordered the Gas company to furnish the facts, the presumption is it wants them, to aid in. deciding the case.
 Since the officers of the Gas company are 50 unwilling to see their salaries in print, is it fair to assume they fear their stockholders may compare what the officers get with what they do for what they get?

WOMEN AND SCHOOL BONDS

% HERE SEEMS NOT to be much que stion 4 about the rights that were given to women with respect to voting school mat ters. Sec. 1799 of the General Law says:
 Those women whose names appear upon the registry list of womes voters shall be en- titled to vote in any meeting held for cnoos- ina school officers OR UPON ANY MATTER RELATING TO EDUCATION OR THE SCHOOLS
 School bonds certainly matter con nected with education and relating to schools"
 The women, therefore, would seem to be entitled to vote on May 2, whether not school bonds should be issued.

LINCOLN STEPHENS URGES BOYCOTT OF NEWSPAPERS.

Old John L. Janus, the two-headed god who had the happy facility of facing both ways, had his modern prototype in the newspaper editor, who isA 1a) an incendiary revolution ist, a socialist, an anarchist. an apol- ogist for the murder trust,' the the labor o1igarchy, and (b) the hired Hessian. of capitalism, the de- fender of the oppressors of the work ingmen, mercenary wretch who aids and abets the exploitation of the common people by the plutocrats The average newspaper editor is all of these things. and more, according to the point of view Lincoln Steffens, the first and foremost of American Magazine .fmuckrakers,'' inclines to the opinion that most newspaper ed- itors and owners have sublet their brains, if any.zsto capitalism, and he 1ambast the wicked press. In a re- cent address MT. steffens urged the boycotting of all the big papers for a week to ftcure them of lying.''
 The author of sThe Shame of the Cities was born in San Francisco forty-eight years ago today, April 6, 1866, and studied philosophy and things at the universities of Cali fornia, Berlin, HeideIberg. Leipzig. Paris and Sorbonne. After seven years in six of the worlds foremost universities, MT Steffens was educa- tionaI1y qualified for the job of cub reporter on the New York Evening Post. He spent six years as a mem ber of the staff of that Journal of culture and conservatism, rising to the post of first assistant to the city editor, after which he became city editor of the New York Commercial Advertiser. For several subsequent years he was managing editor of Mo CIure's Magazine and associate editor of the American Magazine, but lately he has devoted himself to writing and featuring on socialism.
 MT. Steffens is a staunch advocate of the ballot for the ladies, and in speech not long ago he was quoted as saying:
 Let them destroy buildings. let them destroy anything they want to destroy Women should learn to un- derstand other groups fighting for what they want. too. They should understand labor. Labor may have. to kill some one to get what it wants, and the women must try and under stand. Forms of force are all wrong, but all are necessary

Will Try 4 Silo.

MT. L. R. Grobmyer is one of the most enterprising farmers and stock men in this county He is constant ly trying 10 improve his con- dition, and the cconditions on his farm and ranche so that he may reap the very best results from his labor and investment. The latest step in the march of this progressive citi- zen, is the purchase from the Naccaro -Grobmyer Lumber company of l50- ton silo. The saving of feedstuffs by the silo method is rapidly coming into fa- vor, and results of Mir, Grobmyer's s in- vestment and experiment is being and will be watched with great deal of interest by quite a number of other enterprising planters and stockmen.
 This silo was being unloaded last week, and together with lumber and other materials, hauled out to the ranche, and an experienced man is now here experimenting the erection of the same. This is the first Silo to be erected in this county, and is one of the best to be had. It is of large capacity, and will be filled to the brim with green stuff such as green corn, fodder. katfir corn, cane, pea vines, etc. 1t is said to be very economical method of saving feedstuffs that would otherwise be thrown away or lost.
 If MT. Grobmyer's silo proves sue cess, there are number of others who will buy and erect silos on their farms. We shall be glad to learn fur ther particulars as the work progresses, and congratulate him upon his pros poets, and wish him thr utmost success.

Stores Keep Open After They
Promise To Keep Closed.

A Eig kick is being raised by the
and members of the Retail
Clerks Union against several stores
who are keeping open on nights
that they agreed with the clerks
to keep their places closed. One
of the clerks stated that if these
stores continue to keep open after
being notified to keep closed, action
will be taken against them and a
settlement will not be made until
after the holidays. The clerks do
not want to place the ban on any
of the stores before the new year,
but if it is necessary they will be
placed on the unfair list and the
matter taken to Trades Council
The stores that are violating their
promises are mostly located on
South Third street. 1t is hoped
by the clerks that it will not be
necessary to take any action on
these stores.
