COUNCIL FAILS TO
REDISTRICT CITY

More than year ago the Gazette
called the attention of City Council
to its duty to pass an ordinance dur
ing che year prescribing the number
of members OF each branch of Council
and redistricting the wards of the
city if necessary. No action was
taken on the suggestion although
the law is very plain. Following are
the provisions of section 1915 b OF
the code regarding the matter:
"The Council in every city shall, ii
the year nsneteen hundred and three,
and every tenth year thereafter, and
also whenever the boundaries of the
wards of the city are changed, pre-
scribe by ordinance, the Number of
members of each branch Of the coun-
Gil and re-apportion the representa-
ton therein among the wards, but sc
as to civ. as far as practicable, to
each ward of such city equal rep
rcscntation in the council and in each
branch thereof in proportion to the
population Of each ward. In deter
mining such population, the Council!
shall be governed by the last United
States census, Or by an enumeration
to be provided for by ordinance OF
said Council or such other cnumera-
ton as may be provided by law; pro-
vided, however, than whenever, by
the last United States census, o,
other enumeration made by authority
of the council or as may be provided
by law, it shall appear that the pop
ulation in any ward exceeds that o.
any other ward by as much as three
thousand inhabitants, or when ever
the corporate limits of the city shall;
be extended or contracted, Or when
ever in the opinion of the council, i
is necessary, it shall be the duty Of
the City Council to redistrlct the city
into wards. or so increase or diminish
the number Of wards as that no one
ward shall exceed any other ward II
population by more than three thous-
and inhabitants. For the purpose O
CARRYING out the provisions Of TIN;
section. or whenever it shall be con-
sdered to the interest of the city
the council of each city shall haVt
full power. by ordinance, 10 authorize
an enumeration of the population OF
the city, and of the different wards
thereof by such number of enumera-
tors. with such compensation, and IN
such manner, as may be provided Tor
in such ordinance; provided, that
wherever such enumeration is author
lied. the enumerators provided for in
such ordinance shall be named by the
Judge of the corporation court G
said city. Or if there be none, by the
Judge of the circuit court having Ju'
risdiction therof: provided, however
that. if. by any change of the bound
aries Of ward. or by the increase o
dimunitior Of the number OF wards
any officer. who is required by law t
be a resident Of the ward from wtiic
he. is elected or appointed. shall. be
came a resident Of a different ware
such officer shall, notwithstanding
serve as such to the end OF tn

INTERNATIONAL PEACE.

The sincerity of the late Edwin Ginn in his advocacy of international peace Is manifested by the gift which he made to the Worlds Peace Foundation in the establishment of which he was a central figure. Not only has he lent his sympathies and voice in urging the beneficial results to be obtained therefrom, but by endowing it with the best part of a million for the push ing of the work, he has insured the continuance of an undertaking beyond the point where he left off
 His confidence in the ultimate es
 tablishment of peace among all na
 tions was unwavering. He has always been an enthusiastic advocate of it's extension through education and by placing literature pertaining thereto within the reach of those who are or may become interested therein. He has pursued his aim diligently and there is a great majority of thinking men and women who are in accord with the idea. The need of prevent ing war cannot be too thoroughly realized and 1t must necessarily be understood that there is no better method of spreading its merits than through publicity and education. That MT. Ginn did not consider the under taking a hopeless one is indicated by his action in providing for the en- dowment when it is no longer required for the promotion of peace. The Foun- dation Is an organization which must build for the future and build sensibly. It has great opportunities and possi- bilities, but it will unquestionably be a long time before MT. Ginn's endow- ment can be devoted to any other pur- pose

A WHOLESOME TALK.

Ever since Chairman Elliott of the New Haven system took safety first" as his text he has been preaching it with consistency and good results and he used it with good effect in his ad- dress to the railroad employees this week at Boston. It was good straight heart to heart talk which he gave them and there is no question but what he meant it when he said: We have got to improve the railroad systems of New England and make them what we think they ought to be, and we will
 He has given such a message to many sections of New England but to no gathering could he talk with great CT force upon the question of safety first than to the very men who must do their part to put such a condition into effective operation It is one of the necessities of railroading and in dwelling upon it whenever opportunity presents itself Chairman Elliott Is gradually sending home primary principle in railroad operation, which must be conscientiously observed from the bottom to the top
 As the head of Nhe system declares every man can do his part encourag- ing safety and efficiency and when he urges the employees to "be careful, obedient, alert, efficient. loyal. cour- teous'' and requests them to keep in good mental and physical condition, stand up for the road against unjust attacks and work together" he has asked no more than can rightfully be expected. It is a safe and sound pre- scription for the employees in respond ing to their responsibilities. It is all necessary for safety first"

THE. MAN WHO WAS TOO FAT

weeks I was to live on bran and water and restrain myself rom numbering the rest of the inhabitants of the earth, as he assured me would feel | like doing.
 After these six weeks few tid- l bits such as ground glass and pulver- | ized pavingstones were to be added to ! my menu. At the end of the year he taste for ordinary food. No doubt I would have lost all my other senses, too. because of course, l should have been comfortably dead by that time.
 That doctor said, too, that natur- ally I understood that I was to walk tics a half hour each morning and evening during the dieting period. It was "a perfectly simple little pro gramme-but I was too busy having a good time and put it off till fall.
 Then Bickett forced on my atten ton brand new plan that had just arrived in town. The man who ap- piled it, Bickett said, did marvels by cutting out all fluids. You sort of dried up and lost weight amSZtngly. Of course you got stomach trouble and your kidneys went wrong and your liver got out of whack through lack of water-but you got thin. l wasn't fat enough to do that.
 The nine other recipes are all as bad. It's just piffle anyway, this talk about my being so fat! Why should you all pick on me? There are dozens of really fat men all around us who need help and advice. Why, you'd hardly notice me"
 The second man groaned. Honest, you're a sight," he said Everybody talking about you and saying it's such pity. when you're as young as you are, that you should let yourself go. Be moderate in your eats-'
 Great Scot!' cried the too fat young man, exasperatedly. T break fast on one slice of dry toast and a cup of tea-with health biscuit at noon and more tea-and I don't touch soups and desserts at dinner! I don't eat enough to keep canary alive!"
 That puts a new face on the affair." said the first man, gravely Maybe you're just born to be fat and can't help it!''
 That's what is so doggoned brutal about the whole thing!" burst out the harassed too fat young man. If that's true I might just as we'll be eating all the things I like and enjoy myself instead of doing a slow tor ture stunt! And I never can tell for sure, never!"
 You have hard life" agreed the other men. But it's something to have you acknowledge that you are fat!"-Chicago News.

AID TO AMALGAMATiON.

In sounding a note for the anal gamation of the republican forces in Massachusetts at the annual gathering of the state republican club no strong CT argument for the return of the pro- gressives and the shedding of their influence within the organization could have been made than the reiteratfon of the position of tbe democratic lead
 CT Martin Lomasney, who in addreSS- ing 8 democratic gathering said: "eWho put the democratic party in the state where it is today? It was the men who left the republican party and formed party of their own. If We stand behind this progressive party we can keep the state in the demo- cratic column for ten or fifteen years"
 No one can doubt the truth of MT Iomasney's statement and what he said of Massachusetts might also have been said of all other states and the country where it is possible to carry out such programme. D Mir Eomas 5 rez did his best to put this policy into

WHY AUSTRIA RETAINED

Just what it was that restrained Austrla from putting a finger in the Balkan war and pulling out a plum. to say nothing of making a raid upon Servia towards which it has looked With jealous eye for some time, was not made plain during the struggle. It was quite evident that it was not love for peace which actuated that country. Austria had been doing it's best to keep Servia from getting a sea coast or It's own as an outlet for it's business, and was not negligent in showing it, but there was an influence which kept her from doing any more than threaten, while Servia proceeded to push on into the territory of which -Austrla had long been seeking control.

THE STATE DEBT

The finances of the states of Con- necticut and Rhode Island seem to be
 1 much the same condition. The ap- Rroprladons are yearly exceeding the income and the state debt is yearly 1noW1ng the effect thereof By re- ports Of the treasurer of this state the net debt stands at $6.748,66232 an in crease since the year previous of S1.- S10,SO6.O4. In the state of Rhode Is Sand the net debt today is S5O41.571.
 It was only six years ago. in 1907, $hat Connecticut had no debt and car Fed balance in the treasury of more man quarter of a million dollars There Is no question but what Con- hecticut has grown and that g. large share of It's expenses are devoted to necessities for the welfare of the state but 1t is equally certain that there has also been a falling off in its receipts and a great increase in appropriations, t being necessary in order to make Inc receipts equal the expenses to sfs- que additional bonds. Each bond issue hot only increases the debt and yearly Interest account, but it gives greater promise Of the regularity of a state tax. The need of economy has never been more strongly felt. It has jus titled whatever action was taken in that direction at the last session of the legislature and it indicates that 1t must be continued The same prob lem faces Rhode Island and as the treasurer of that state points out Tt Is evident that the present financial condition cannot be continued indef- nitely. There must be an increase in current receipts or a decrease in ap- propriations if the state is to admin ister its affairs to the convenience and satisfaction of the public and maintain it's credit"
