THE CONGRESSIONAL coNvEN
 TON,

There is no small amount of Ter spensibility involved in the duty which Is imposed upon the delegates to the second congressional convention at WilIirnantic Saturday, when the re- publican nominee will be selected. The interests of the district demand that the best possible man be selected as representative in the national legfs- lature from this end of Connecticut.
 This is a strong republican district, whose interests deserve to be prop erly taken care of in Washington, and with such in mind there should result from the convention candidate who will appeal through his ability and qualifications to the electorate of the tour counties irrespective of party.
 There are several candidates for the examination. William A. King of Windharn, who was the choice of the last convention and came within 515 votes of winning despite the third party influence, is being urged for the place. He Is we'll acquainted with the conditions of this end of the state, was at one time attorney general of Connecticut and stands high in his district and party.
 Richard P. Freeman of New London. prominent member of the county bar and an energetic young republi- can, is receiving considerable support In the southern part of the district.
 Friends of Gustave B. Carlson of Middletown. candidate for state sec retary at the last election, are advo- eating his selection for the important post while the name of another Wind ham county man. Henry W. Bowen of Woodstock. former United States min lster to Venezuela, has been presented for consideration by the convention.
 It is convention which means much to eastern Connecticut and if Is the candidate who will be able to best represent it's varied interests at III times who is wanted.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Advocates Gettina Toaether.

MT. Editor: Let both republicans and progressives stop a moment and ask the question, have we not had a great suf1ciency of democratic rule in city, town. state and nation during the past two yearsg Tariff has been reduced, living expenses have great ly increased and many mills as a re- suit are shutting down while others are doing as little as possible; bus mess is at a standstill and thousands of good, honest laborers can get no work: their little ones in many cases suffer for the actual necessities of life. This condition of things I fear is go- ing from bad to worse Capital is scared, investors have lost confidence, fearing the results from the change of tariff.
 The democrats have turned out many good officials and put in their places often inefficient persons. They have paid little or no regard to civil service rules.
 No one is to blame for this but ourselves. If there had been no di- vision in our ranks victory would have been ours. We must admit there was some reason for the progressives leav- ing us; the steam roller at Chicago was wrong; it has had it's lesson. Both wings of the party now see what the result would have been had we re- mained united. The republicans would have continued in power and the whole country would have continued pros porous.
 United we outnun1ber our oppo- nents. United we will elect our sen- ator, our state ticket and our local tickets. Is not this desired? Don't we want and don't we need change
 We do want it and we most certain 1y need it, to give confidence to cap ital, to furnish an impulse to business that our neighbors may find employ ment for their willing hands to earn food for their suffering families. Per haps it is too much to expect that we can get together on@our state ticket
 this year, but I believe this can be accomplished in our local ticket. which
 would certainly be a good omen for the future. Why not support the pro- gressive nominee for state senator
 with the understanding they will sup
 port our judge of probate and our two republican representative nominees This would be fair compromise. un-
 less a compromise is effected we cant
 expect or reasonably hope for the pro- l gressiye support.

HELPING THE NEGRO.

The action which has been taken
 by the legislature in the state of H.
 hnDis authorizing the holding of an
 exposition in the Coliseum next Au-
 gust for the purpose of observing the
 half century of Negro freedom and
 the development of that race during
 that period of time is open to great
 possibilities. It Is well that such irn- provernent as can be shown for the
 past 50 years should be spread broad cast in the effective manner that it can be done through the holding of an exposition.
 That the Negro can show that he has made much progress since the Emancipation Proclamation is unques- tioned, but it is in bringing it before the public in such a manner that any doubt about 1t can be removed that the highly desirable results can be at tained.
 Both for the good influences which such 8 demonstration will arouse and for the aid which will accrue to the work through the remainder of the century, Illinois has set an example which might we'll be followed by other states for there is no state which should not be looking for the better nnent of the Negro. and such is in par ticu1ar true of the south. Great strides
 have been made in giving aid to the Negro, schools are doing a most im- l portant work in their behalf in many states today, iliiteracy is gradually 1 being overcome and the general ten dency is upward but the movement l is deserving of all the assistance which It can obtain both by the inn pressions which are created as re- suit of the upiift work, and through the publicity of a state exposition.

TeddY'a Idea.

MT. Editor: Of course, Teddy Bear is correct in assuming that six hearts beat as three when the rule is that two hearts beat as one. Two are not one. however, except in matrimony, where one may not be one. but a better half"
 Mathematics and matrimony are not so much in harmony with each other as are matrin1ony and alimony sometimes.

He tried to fix the man with his stern eye. The man, however. was as oblivious of Ellsworth as was the girl. When he had the bad judgment to cough as he looked at her Ellsworth scarcely could. restrain himself. It had all the appearance of a gentle man-except to a very acute observer should make such a mistakei
 Did the poor cad think for one min ute that the girl would fiirt with a strange man on a street car?

 to begin noticing his advances. She gave a fieeting wave of her eyelashes his way, bit her lip and flushed.
 She's nervous. poor childi'' com mented Ellsworth indignantly. He wondered if she'd understand if he crossed over and sat between her and
 her tormentor. The latter was now a good foot nearer her than he was when the affair began. He actually bent over and looked into her face. At this she shot him a glance which should have petrified him. He con- tinued in good health, however Ellsworth's heart was humping as he considered what to do. The girl seemed poised for flight She turned again to glare at the man and as she did so the man leaned still closer to speak to her. Ellsworth shot from his seat instantly. He knew his duty as man.
 In the instant before his hand elutched the fellows shoulder Els
 worth's brain recorded the words
 spoken by the enemy. 'Louise!" the man was saying

 There was the glint of a tear in the girls eye and the glint of a wedding | ring on her left hand. "Oh, Charliei" she murmured. With a tremendous wrench of mus cles Ellsworth turned his spring a the man into a curving departure from | the car.

WANToN DESTRUCTION

If there was nothing more to mark he invasion of the German army Bel sium has its Louvain and now France aas Rheims whereby through the des-- sruction of old, costly and historic eiii. ices there has been wiped out ex- lmples Of architecture which cannot De replaced. Whether for civic or re- 1gious purposes has made no differ snee, the great cathedral at Rheims having been made the target of the runners with as great freedom as the .ity hall
 That there should be such unneces- iary destruction of cities and their historically and, sentimentalIy valuable buildings causes the whole world to 'y1npathize with these communities. Such may be looked upon as one ot he accompanimerts Of war, bu, whether it is or not the stories which Ire coming from the European battle ields indicate that mighty littlI lrought is being given to the preser- 'ation of anything considered valuable 'yj the other side.
 It was grossly unwarranted ~vher aouvain was burned as an act of re- Irisal against the innocent Be1gians Warfare does not call for the destruc. ion Of historical structures or ever 'esidential sections of cities excep1 Fhen they are in the range of the objective point of the artillery fire gains nothing for the destroyer. nd 1t was hoped that the acts in Bel fun with the accompanying protest, FoUld put an end to such practices mt while there may te no excuse i,
