NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
Two Senatorial Colleagues Who Were CongeniaI

/ and, I suppose, no senator ever pos
sessed such undoubted historical and
classic learning or a keener appre-
citation of the great authors whom
he read in the original. than Sum-
ner.
con the other hand, Wilson is the
perfect type of what may be called a
'self-made American. All that he is
| he owes entirely to himself. He was
a shoemaker by trade and farmers
boy before he learned to make shoes.
He had little time to study and no
| time whatever for the cultivation OF
social amenities In one respect he
and Sumner were alike, both OF them
We're strangely lacking in sense OF
humor.
Wilson revealed his natural abili-
! ties very early and these were en-
| tirely in the field of politics. AT
| twenty-one he was still shoemaker
and when little past forty he was a
United States senator. I have often
| thought that these two senators who
represented Massachusetts admir-
ably typifed all that is best in
American institutions.
Il will tell you why Sumner and
Wilson maintain such cordial friend
ship. Sumner was elected United
States senators by coalition. He was
chosen by a very small majority OF
the vote of the Legislature. The
proposition was made to Wilson that
he consent to be candidate, with
the assurance that his consent would
be followed by his election, since t
would be easier for the coalition to
support him than any other man. But
he peremptorily declined, saying
that he could not accept election
without dsloyalty to Charles Sumner,
whose election he earnestly advised:
after Sumner was elected, the
first thing he did was to- write
cordial and appreciative letter to Mr..
Wilson. In that way their friend
ship began and two years later Will
son himself was elected senator"

THE SMALL PRoGREssIvE VOTE.

In 1912 the Progressive vote in New Jersey for
President was 145. 41O and for Assembly 1864.
There practically contests in the Progressive
primaries yesterday to call out good vote, but new
ertheless the pride of the party should have brought
Progressives to the polls, If only to show their
strength.
The primary vote under such circumstances is not
index of the party strength. The Democratic and
Republican vote yesterday fell far short of what the
vote will in the election in November but the ndi-
cations that the Progressive vote will have much
less effect upon the results than anticipated 1t
was shown in the Seventh Congress district that a
considerable falling off of this vote favored the Re-
publicans, but the has changed the aspect of
American politics in way most favorable to Demo-
cratic chances.

Picking Out Names.
ha uartford Courant

From the Hartford Courant
A fruitful cause of wonder and
often of amusement, as well, is found
in the names of hamlets, villages
and towns. In many instances the
lack of originality Is the feature that
attracts the observers attention, and
visitors to New England are led to
comment on the lack of invention and
imagination displayed in the naming
of towns In this section. Names for
most OF them were brought over from
England, and then the fathers varied
these with such additions as New"
and "oid," and the points of the
compass. For instance We hear OF
New Haven, North Haven, West
Haven and East Haven. and we have
as many kinds of Hartfords here
abouts. There is an Old Saybrook
as well as q Saybrook, and an Old
Lyme as we'll as a Lyme. We have
not only a Milford, but a New Mil
ford, and a New Canaan as we'll as a
Canaan. Thus 1t goes throughout the
land OF the Pilgrims and Purltans
while a journey through New York
State is like taking a course in an
cient Roman and Greek history, with
Troy. Rome, Syracuse, Utica and So
on. These older European names. az
we'll as the Indian names which have
been preserved, show the inclination
to use what is ready at hand, with
out employing either imagination or
invention. In other places is to be
found the opposite tendency, and Sit
Is when too much Imagination or a
misdirected Imagination has had
sway that names of localities often
| cause amusement, which shows the
early settlers who stuck to the old
names displayed better Judgment. II

Morality in statesmanship.
From the Indianapolis News.


During the present crisis a men,
Der of the British Parliament said
that Wilson introduced morality in
craftsmanship. There is more truth
in the saying than generally is found
in sin liar utterances. Europe feels
it in the present time of trial. There
were plenty to sneer and jeer both
at home and abroad at Mr.. Wilson s
Mexican policy. They are silent now
But the greater rebuke to these comes
from the frank acknowledgment
which Europe Is making of the high
quality of craftsmanship that the
United States has shown In the last
year. This has not risen from one
single thing, but is the result of the
whole attitude of the President, the
scrupulousness in small things aa
we'll as large.
Without the crisis of the great war
1t Is likely that Europe would have
passed by as negligible the quality
OF Mr.. Wilson'S course. 1t might
have recognized it. but it would have
had no use for it. But since the
diplomacy of Europe has come to its
own, with one accord all the thinkers
and statesmen recognize the merit

sition where all the world trusts us.

they have been in the present strug-

Mr.. Wilson began his public life by
introducing morality into statesman
ship. He fought the New Jersey
bosses from the start. He listened to
no compromise. He challenged the
fiercest hostility. He threw himself,
it might be said, on the reserve OF
morality that he knew existed in the
common people, conflding In them
to make his battle a success. he
won. He has pursued the same
course ever since. The temptation OF
nomination to his high office did not

part nor lot with the ring politics

idly. Party has no name for him that
means striking hands with manipu-
lators and corruptionists.

the trees of the wooded section of the

many fine trees are being destroyed
unnecessarily and that there seems
to be lack of appreciation of the
value of the living growth, One of
the glories of the north shore country
is its trees. Men who build new
houses, however, seem to fear to live
in the shade. They are cutting down
great trees to let in the sunlight with
out seeming to realize that proper
balance of light and shade is the
healthful, beautiful and desirable
condition. Years ago Thoreau saw a
man cutting down tree. He said:
