BrIan,s Reasons.

W. J. Bryan says in the Commoner
these are the three chief causes for
the "decadence" on the Progressive
party:
First-The failure of Theodore
Roosevelt to win following on his
personality alone.
Second The failure OF the Progress
sive party platform to present any
new and clean cut issue; and,
Third-Too much activity on the
part of George w. Perkins, whom the
people associate with trusts.
No permanent party Mr.. Bryan
adds. "can be built up on any man.
"a man may make an effective protest
against something done by another
man or group Of men, but mere per-
sonal influence is necessarily tempo

IDEAL SCHOOL SYSTEM
 DISCUSSED BY LUTHER
President of Trinity College Addresses School Supeiin-
 tendents at Meriden.

taf
 Meriden, Conn.,, May 9.-"The ideal school system would be that in which the schools should be wholly main- tained by the state' said President F. s. Luther of Trinity college in ad- dressing the Connecticut Association of School Superintendents at it's sixteenth annual meeting in the local high school today. '"The qualifications of teachers he added, should also be determined by the state. I believe state control is practicable, and that the superintendents can push it best of all The change must be gradual, however as the towns like the dis tricts are not overwilling to give up their autonomy"
 President Luther also said that too short a time is given to the educa- tion of children. The German boy, the French boy and now the Italian boy, have better chances for a book education than the American boy, and they have a better chance for man. ual education as well. One hundred and eighty days now required as a years schooling is not enough. It averages twenty-five hours a week, an inadequate amount for the education of child. The vacation should be shortened. Some children complain now of being tired of vacation by the time August comes around.

DIR. FLANAGAN HITS F. H. OLDERSHAW'S CAR
Crashes Into Engineers Automobile on Main Street-Alleged on Wrong
 Side of Road.

Engineer Frank H. Oldershaw and Dr. George M. Flanagan figured in an exciting automobile accident shortly after o'clock this morning on Main street when the latter in his Buick runabout, smashed into the formers s touring car. Engineer Oldershaw was accompanied by his brother, Louis Oldershaw, and the doctor was alone. Luckily no one was injured.
 MT. Oldershaw was driving his car in a southerly direction and just as he was about to pass Booths block Dr. Flanagan came speeding along on the wrong side of the street, it is al- legged by MT. Oldershaw. Before either car could turn aside the two machines came together with loud splintering sound.
 Both machines at once came to a standstill and were taken around to Church street. Investigation showed that neither machine was as badly damaged as the force of the collision seemed to indicate. The doctors front mud guard was badly dented, but the engineers car came out second best. The rear door was broken, the rear mud guard was caved in and the running board was splintered.
 The names of many witnesses of the accident were taken.

CUNSHANAN'S ALLEGATIONS ANSWERED BY BALDWIN Governor Upholds Tubercu- lOsis Commission for
 Their Work.

Hartford, May 9.-Regarding the al- legations of mismanagement, which former Tuberculosis Commissioner John F. Gunshanan makes against the members of the tuberculosis com mission, Governor Baldwin today, dic- tated the following:
 II have looked into the matter some what since MT. Gunshanan began making charges against the manage ment of our tuberculosis sanatoriums. So far as can learn it does not de- serve the severe criticism which he gave it. Two or three of the mat ters are old stories of what occurred while he was a member of the tuber- culosis commission. That was the case of the incident of the tray of victuals left by the bedside of dead man. The poor fellow, I suppose, had died just as the visitors came along. The doctors had thought he would be able to eat something when, as it turned out, he was not.
 Such things are inevitable occa- sionally in any hospital and are good only for making something sensation al out of them. I think that the best known as tuberculosis hospital ex- perts are on this commission and they are supported in the oversight of the management by one of our leading business men, who is the other com missioner I believe they have put Connecticut at about the head of the list of the states that are fighting the white plague

 The action against Superintendent Kibbe took precedence over all other business. After the reporters who had been invited had been told that it was against all precedents for represen- tatives of the press to be present at meetings of the board, which state ment was incorrect, the doors were closed and the steam was turned on in the roadroller with Mayor Quigley at the throttle. He dominated the entire meeting and his suggestions were law. He reviewed the testimony and hearsay testimony that had been presented during the investigation of town home affairs by d special meet ing of the common council and told the members that he wanted MT. Kibbe busted. All came around to the mayors way of thinking and it was announced after the meeting that it had been unanimously decided to ask for the superintendent's resigna- tion.
