REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

The state convention of the repub- 1icans which assembles at New Haven tonight Is one of much importance, not only to party, but to state. In accordance with the spirit of the cam- paign the delegates go to that gather ing for the purpose of exercising their best judgment in the selection of the best ticket for the fall election. Note worthy in this respect has been the selection of delegates. They have not been selected in support of some slate but because their knowledge of the conditions and the demands can be relied upon to give full consideration fo the interests of the state.

ENFORCING THE LAW,

Enforcing the law is sometimes more difficult than it appears from the viewpoint of the observer. The task of the critic is always easier than that of the creator. but there is also more ways than one of getting about a difficult situation and bringing home the necessity of obeying the law.
 An instance of this is well illustrated by the owner of & new apartment house in Boston. who despite the or- ders Of the building commissioners failed to equip the building with fire escapes. Instead of undertaking a iong battle in the courts notice was posted on the apartments to the effect that "the building to which this mo- flee is affixed is not provided with sufficient means of egress in case O, fire satisfactory te the building com. missioner"
 This was a bad advertisement a.,6 of course brought forth 8 protest tfa, his business was being seriously af, fected in the eyes of his tenants, os prospective ones. but it was & protss which took into consideration his owr pocketboolS while the safety of thos, he was seeking to profit from wa. given little OF he consideration.
 Such Is 8. disposition which preraii too extensively. Knowledge of the re quifenents of the law was pessssse. by the owner, but ile was willing an. anxious ts kesp from tenants the pro taetioa which ths law afforded thsfh and it Is only ffls enforcement of tn law in just suefa sasAs, even though has to be dAHs as this WAS, %hie; prevents fals2a needless loss Of life Fke inclination ta wait until some thing happens before giving tfle nec sssary protsetian to life and ebayil Ehs Jaws gets tee much eaesaFage aasnt.

 You will do nothing of the kind! Am I not to be consulted? l have some interest in this affair. I have not told you the whole story about that auto sInashup. We were bowling along at more than the legal speed, we two on the front seat and the bulldog

The dog was Under the auto flat enough for a rug and the auto had turned turtle and smashed against telegraph pole at one and the same moment.

T admit that I am undecided" said Margarets father as he paced twice across the room and came to a pause with his back to the Inantel.
 You cannot remain undecided long, said Margaret's mother. Margaret tweaked the Angora kittens ears and said nothing.
 They are both desirable" continued Margaret's father. "It seems to- me that the problem Is to fix upon the one that is the more desirable. It means providing our little girl with a companion for life.''
 And they both came to your office to-day2 That was funny

He has a great deal to offer a wife; he is moderately successful has nice home, is a deacon in the church and is of a kindly disposition '
 "But he always looks so sad." said Margaret's mother.
 T know. That is because of his tender heart. He has had heaps of trouble He worshipped his father mother and she was a bedridden in valid on his hands for years. He very seldom smiles, but has a beautiful smile when he does smile"
 What do you yourself think of him?"
 q admire and like him irnensely. No ono can help liking Ponderson. He is young, too, just the same age as Harlor, though he appears to be ten years his senior.
 Tt is 9 hard problem" he concluded, laIne1y, I'm stumped."
 And what did you tell him?' asked Margaret's mother.
 '1 told him I would talk it over with you. He seemed anxious, but not hopeful, when he left He must have passed young Harlor in the elevator as he went down.
 .Mr. Harlor is different"
 Some! No embarrassment about Harlor. He foreezed into my office seated himself on the corner of my desk and put it to me as he expressed it. He has money. which was left to him; he has more than the average share of good looks and he knows the pink section of the newspaper from the first to the last column I do not be- lieve that he said anything about lov- ing Margaret; but he did say that he believed she loved him and would make him mighty happy"

OTHER VIEW POINTS

It must be remembered that mas-
 terly retreating and unexpected rally
 ing do great deal to harrass and
 puzzle an enemy and that it was this
 policy of Washington's with a small
 force that gave him victory over the
 invaders in the ReYolution.-Meriden
 Journal.
 One of the wonderful things about the building of the canal, was how Col. Goetfals and Col. Gaillard were able to drive down unit cost as the
 mercury in the difficulty thermometer sped upward. In 1908 it was estimated that the cost of removing d yard of soil would be around ninety eight cents
 for the whole cut. In 1909 this was hammered down to seventy eight and two third cents. With the slides more troublesome than ever in 1912. they forced the unit cost down to f1fty-four and three e-eight cents. Than this there is no prouder showing in the history Of business economy or of engineering. Waterbury Republican.
