 If John T. King ever retracts any lining it should. be his statement con- cerning Governor Simeon p. Baldwin as a guardian of the states hnances.s stI am frank to say,s said MT. King at the G. o. P. meeting in Bridgeport tstfaat the main offense against this proper system of financing has been the result of the last four years mis-. management of the financial end of the state by it's chief executive. E yield to none in admiration for his scholarly attainrnents but as guard ian over the finances Of the state of Conn necticut he has been a complete failure
 So long as the veto power of the governor remains the farce that it iss aso long will it be impossible for a governor of Connecticut tos do more than Goyernori Baldwin tried to do to keep the states expenses within its Income. In spite of the rnnfavay Tendencies of legislature which four years ago was Republican and two years ago divided. the state nre~st give to Governor Baldwin t1ls credit of having saved it not thousands but Tai1- lions It is a matter of public record.

CHARITY AND
 SOCIAL BITTERNESS

At the heart of modern social prob lerns lies the bitter feeling between classes. when the sweating labor CT in the street shakes his fist as the luxurious limousine passes, there Is something more at issus than any mere question of money.
 If people of wealth wish to know how they can soften all this friction of unrest. they can find plenty of fia- dividuaI instances in the charity work done so widely this winter. When one sees some daughter of luxury out with a big basket, distributing food supplies, or collecting gifts for the Be1gians, even the resentful man with the pick must see that wealth does not always close the heart.
 Bitterness arises from the fact that a successful business man often looks at human material as something to be merely bought and sold. He has acquired his fortune by hard knocks. If other people suffer, it must be from their own andolence or waste. He looks at the people streaming into the picture shows, and remarks that he never acquired his fortune by such foolish expenditure.
 If he is running poorly ventilated, unsanitary factory, with dangerous machines and too long hours. he is undermining the stamina of the coma munity. Nothing that he or his fam fly can do by way of incidental aIIe- viation can begin to atone
 These evils are being relieved by laws inspection and. trade agree- xnents Meanwhile the number of wealthy women who make charity a leading occupation is larger. Many of them know the sllns of the cities as well as the Socialists and sAnar- chists. They give not merely money, but kindly sympathy and common sense suggestions This is more effec-

Hartford Times.

The story relating to the state high way commits ership which we print elsewhere from the New Haven tJn-4 ion, makes it clear that there are a number Of Republicans, and pronain- ent ones at that. who continue to think there should be "a change in the de- partment. If the statements in the Union are correct this opinion is shar- ed by the great leader. J John F. King Of Bridgeport, whose merits as q Re publican chieftatn were so Joyonsiy toasted and acknowledged at the ban ban nuet iIa Bridgeport this week. It will be hard for the Republican, leaders to present a partisan argument for a change in the personnel of the coIn- mission ership which will offset the fact that MT Bennett has given the state good and better roads.

DID Not Sell Hay

In giving the court proceedings
last week the case of Burnside VS.
F. w. Heaton was not correctly
reported. The statement that
Burnside contracted a quantity Of
hay from Heaton at certain price
was correct but the hay was never
said or disproved of to any other
party but is still in possession Of
Mr., Heaton, who contracted to
dispose, of the hay to Mr..
Burnside, Mr.. Heaton held the
hay because he thought that Mr..
Burnside had not filled his part of
the agreement and the latter sued
for specific performance of con-
tract. The case will be retired in
the Feduary term of court.

most people sre sporting arms-in
some cases lower limbs, that are
painful TO a degree that have be-

tors only>to learn that the vaccanG-
tion is taking beautifully" No
public meetings have been held
and school was discontinued dur
ing the week. Several who were

practically ali who have been ex-

will occur. The country trader is
