THE PAVING CONTRACTS

rT@HE CITIZENS will be we'll satisfied with
 the conference between the paving commission and the mayors committee of al dermen, which took place last night. The com mission left no uncertainty regarding it's atti- tude toward the Warrenite contracts. They are illegal, ought not to be approved by the com mission, and will not be.
 Alderman Moran a member of the mayors committee, took the sound position that the best way to settle the question would be for the Board of Aldermen to confide the construction of pavement in Bridgeport to the commission, as the body designated by the charter for this purpose. He expressed confidence in sound ness of the city attorneys opinion
 Mayor Wilson made most undignified appearance, pleading with the commission to ratify the Warrenite deal with zeal difficult to understand on the part of the chief officer of the city, who, more than anybody else, ought to desire to proceed according to law, and to secure the best interests of the city
 The mayor appeared unconscious that there is more than question of legality, or 8 matter of procedure involved in the disposition |oI the question.
 The real issue is a moral issue The con tracts are not such as intelligent business men could be expected to approve, even had they been legally made The method in which they were made, excluding competition, and ignor- ing the city engineer and the paving commis- sion, too create a precedent by which much public money might hereafter be wasted and an easy and safe road to extravaganza and graft be opened up.
 There seems but one proper course. The council may order those streets to be paved which in it's Judgment should be-
 The paving commission may then ask for bids, select the most advantageous pavement, and cause the work to be, done.
 It is possible, but scarcely probable, that the mayors interest in Warrenite is such he will seek to have the pavement laid under the illegal contracts in which case it may be neces- sary for somebody to enjoin the work, or al least enjoin the proper officials from making Eang payments from the city treasury.

WORK OF THE PRESIDENT
1Hartford Times.A

A portion Of the Republican press (and also a portion of the Democratic press) has been busy of late in at tacks on the policy and personality of President Wilson. It is part of the game of politics. That is it's chief motive. But to a smaller extent it is also personal Vindictiveness. There are men and corporations who hate the president for his condemnation of unjust or illegal methods in business and politics. Some of these men have read of ''damnable iteration and take it as a useful weapon, forgetting who used it and how. At such a time ment on the other side as this from the New York Evening Post:
 stOn the evening of the Fourth of July, the American people may justly find cause for national pride in what has thus far been accomplished to- wards the pacifcation of Mexico, and in the feeling with which our nation is regarded at this moment by both of the contending parties in that dis tracted country as well as by tie leading nations of South America. It
 true that no one can predict with
 4lffdence that the labors of tne me d.ators at Niagara Falls will be crowned with ultimate success. But at no time has the prospect of success been more favorable than at this mo- ment There has been already accom- plished something that makes a new precedent in history, and something 1 that only a few short months ago, seemed to verge on the impossible. On
 the very brink of war, and in situa- | ton saturat ted with nafsunderstandins and filled with all the elements that
 make for bitter hostility, an appar- atus of consolidation was brought into play. which has brought all parties fn-
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1914-07-09

to a frame of mind friendly to our-' selves, and highly encouraging to the prospects of a peaceful settlement. The disinterestedness of our country is no longer anywhere questioned the rep resentatives of the three leading South American republics feel, equally with just satisfaction in the part their countries have been playing, the warmest appreciation of the course of our own government; and all the world is looking with friendly and hopeful anticipation to the outcome of the negotiations between Huerta and Carranza sides. These hopes may be destined to disappointment; but even so, theaefoTt to bring about a settle ,ment by reason and international good will instead of by brute force will re- main an Invaluable precedent. And if the hopes of the friends of peace should be realized. the A B c media ton of 1914 will go down to history as one of the landmarks of human progress
 For various reasons we decline at present to despair of the republics.

SIX WILD PASSENGER PIGEONS IN HIS LOFT,
 ATHOL MANS BELIEF

Athol, Mass. July s--L S. Billings. agent for the society for the proven ton of cruelty to animals, says he be- neves he had discovered the original passenger pigeon, long supposed to have been extinct Within a few days he expects to know for 9. certainty whether he has the original wild pigeon.
 MT. Billings is an expert in breeding pigeons About a. week ago, a pigeon, which answers the description of the passenger, came to his loft Mir. BiII- ings coaxed 1t with grain. and the next day 1t returned with mate. Later there were six of them. which seemed to complete the lot. Careful study of them has convinced him that they are real American wild pigeons
 The American wild pigeon is said to have been one of the most beautiful and graceful birds on the continent Its back was a variable blue, and it's neck was richly g1ossed with metallic golden violet and white. Years ago they swarrned by the billions, but now are supposed to be extinct.
