The following from the Western
Times was handed to us by democrat
Of this city with the request to please
publish: Probably we were too hasty
in saying the judReship must be snap,
else there would not be so many candi-
dates. Judge Ruppenthal takes !excep-
tiOns. No doubt the judgeship carries
with it great deal of trouble and re-
probabilities, and &C give the people
fair and unparticular justice is any
thing but snap" That's right, Bro.
Ward, but that is no reason why some
body or someone else should not do the
work for the next four years. It Is
not right then that it should be impes-
ed upon Judge Ruppenthal all the time
We do, however. believe that if any of
the other candidates get on the wool
sack they will devote all their time to
the work Of dispensing ustice.

Now it is proposed to fly across the
ocean. Sounds almost fool hardy when
you think of the attempt. It may sue
coed and again it stands many chances
to fail. Perhaps when it was proposed
first to run a railroad train at q speed

same doubts filled the minds of the
people who were then skeptical OF its
ultimate success While the chanc= IS

WHAT DO YOU MEAN "cARRY
GOALS TO NEWCASTLE?"

AS a matter of fact, no one ever
did carry Goals to Newcastle" al
though in the fifteenth century hun
dreds of ships annually carried tons
and tons of coal from the English
mining district to every part of Eu-
rope. 1t was at that time that some
Newcastle Wisacre opined that it
would be foolish thing, indeed, to
carry Goals to Newcastle, where coal
was so plentiful; and thereafter the
quaint saying was used to express,
contempt for those who do superfu-
GUS things, such as taking certain
articles to ap1ace where such articles
abound.

Next morning the captains shoes

His leather leggins reflected the light.
The captain took notice then of
Jesus Estrada.
Some boy" he said.
Not understanding, Jesus sprang
forward, trembling, eager to propre-

he was. That is what Jesus thought
that he was the captains slave.

THE TROLLEY 'WRECKS

ITO The Editor of The Farmer Sir:
 Within a very short time, in this. part of the state, the Connecticut Co. have had four trolley accidents in which passengers have been injured. Instead of raving wildly against the Connecticut Go, let us consider the causes of these accidents anda how .ac- cidents of the same sort can be avoid ed in the future.
 All four of the recent accidents have been caused directly and solely by the stretches Of single tracking in this part of the state; first, because of the block system of signals at the switches which is a constant menace ano always will be menace since defects are sure to develop in the wires and lights of the system, and. because Of the fact that as long as the notormen are human we must expect switches to be sometimes un-# Intentionally passed. Second, by the .so-called ssbunching'' of cars at the switches so that the stretches of single tracking can be passed, which ''bunching'' of cars must always be resorted to when the traffic is heavy and which affords the constant men ace of the rear cars striking those ahead especially when the rails are wet.
 The Connecticut Go. should be re- quired to double track all it's stretches of single tracking in this part of the state of which. there are six or seven on the line from Bridgeport to New Haven. The $65,000 which the Connecticut Go. is said to have all ready paid in damages for injuries in the Westport accident would certain lily have laid considerable portion of this double tracking. Not only should the Connecticut Co. be requir- l ed to lay this double traclking-it also must be helped. On certain stretches where the highway has been plenty 1 wide enough, as on the road toward d l Washington Bridge from Stratford Center, the Connecticut Go. has long been desirous of laying double track l ing. but the residents. because of their own selfish motives involving I ssbeautifrl shade trees,y have refused to permit the laying of the double tracking. The safety of the thous- ands of people having occasion to continually use this line should be l ssbeautiful shade trees that can be replaced by others planted in front yards. In such instances the public, the city officials, and the state off, cials should help by cooperating with the Connecticut Co.,, condemning the land of the property owners if .neces- sary so that double tracking can be laid.
 The motto of the Connecticut Co. as we'll as that of the New Haven should be Safety First''-and this
 motto applied to trolleys requires double tracking.

BUSINESS STEPS

Big Outing of Association at Rivercliff Teens With Ac- tion and EatabIeS.

A great day at Riverc1iffe was the consensus of 150 business men who, putting aside the cares of the day, took off their coats and indulged in the frivolities of youth. Ball games, boxing bouts, hand-balI, volley-bal1, and races occupied the day at the big picnic grounds. As a closing feature Nelson F'reshaur served a. bake of clams, fish, chicken and lobster that has not been surpassed in many months. Over 150 of the city's fore most business leaders took special cars to the grounds at 12:30 yesterday, after the Wheeler & Wilson band had circled the city hall loop. With the strains Of popular marches and songs coming from the trolley car ahead, old Stratford was awakened to the impor- tance of Bridgeport commercial ae- .tivity and the ea1iber of the men be- hind the mercantile intrenchments.
 As they reached the grounds still headed by the Wheeler & Wilson band, they lunched lightly and entered with zest into the frolic provided un- der the direction of genial Carl Reck, who headed the committee on enter tainment A ball game between the Main Street Americans and Nationals was won by a score of 7-6 in favor or the Americans Carl Reck explained the winning team.
