Hard lob for AGENT.

Some years ago the owner of a
small vaudeville house out West, who
had spent some time in the clothing
store he had formerly owned than he
had in school, found the receipts of
the theater dropping off, and decided
to cut expenses. A few days later
his vaudeville agent called him up
and said he was sending him a quar-.
tet for the next weeks bill

New Britain herald., 1914-05-30

Britain, pointed out the scarcity of tenements and the high price of land unless the location is too far removed from the factory districts. The mayors position is that if the trolley lines were extended in certain directions that building lot could be purchased for a few hundred dollars, and the poorer class of people, those who are now cramped up in small tenemcnts, would be encouraged to build homes of their own and in this way the tenement question would be solved. This is sound argument and does not permit of successful contradic- tion. As far as the proposed north end trolley line is concerned the company agreed to build it, provided that those locally interested would guarantee the money and this they have done, but the, company has shown an inclination to back out of the agreement. It is seldom that men have obtained money for a large corporation to build line, the com pany usually furnishing its own money and doing it's own work. In this case it was agreed that the com pany had no funds for such an ex- tension and consequently could not comply with the request of the New Britain people. It was at this tune ture that those interested said they would raise the funds and loan them to the company, which was agreed to, and 1t looks like a case of small potatoes for the company to back out now. AS to whether such line would pay at the beginning does not enter into the question at all because in al o1n r,f certain lines of goods which do not bring in any profit, in fact they are sometimes sold at a loss, but they must be kept on hand because there is a demand for them and what Is lost there is made up on something else. This natter has been gone over in detail with the trolley company and both sides thoroughly understand it. An extension of the trolley lines would be a great benefit to New Brit ain because there must be more houses provided. This cannot be very we'll done until land can be pur- chased at fair price and in order to do this it will be necessary to go out side and when that is done there must be means for transporting peo- pie to and from their work and it is there the trolley becomes necessity. The problem is not one to be dis missed with a little talk. It will be necessary for the people or their rep resentatives to keep up the agitation, to keep after the company and in time they will be successful. The growth and comfort of the people de- bends on this movement and too much time cannot be given to it. Mayor Quigley has started out on an important mission and if he succeeds in it he will have brought about great benefit to the city.

A Political Shipwreck.
(Ansonia Sentinel.)

If Bryan F. Mahan is truly quoted candidate for senator and that there is no lure for him in the nomination for governor what becomes of the dual alliance, which was so impress sively launched months ago in which Senator George M Landers was the interested and considerably benefited party of the second part, Mayor Ma han being cast for the star role and the high pleasure of removing the scalp of the present governor. Has some concealed rock ripped a plate out of the hull of the political dread nau ght or have Messrs. Mahan and Landers from the coming tower sighted a storm in the. offing and put back to port. A goodly number of democrats, who have been perching on the fence in the senatorial con- test would like to know just where they are at and it is to be presumed that they will be enlightened in due season.
 The chances are that the members of the alliance learned the ordnance carried by Governor Baldwin was of the fourteen inch variety and that 1t outclassed any caliber in their pos session. Outsiders have never been sanguine as to the formidable na- ture of the Mahan-Landers combina- ton and 1t is possible that this pes simistic unbelief that had it's effect upon the members of the junta.
 Be that as it may it seems to be fairly we'll settled now that the con- 3test for the senatorial toga will be between Senator Brandegee and Gov ernor Baldwin with a possible pro- gressive candidate in the field in the person of pr. Flavel S. Luther, backed by "a lot of enthusiasm but mighty few votes. There is nothing in that prospect chat will cause any conser- nation among the friends of the re- publican candidate, who has the great advantage over his rivals of having already demonstrated his value as d legislator of high efficiency and tried experienqe. aNf

Democratic Governors.
Chicago Letter to Philadelphia Pub

Chicago Letter to Philadelphia Pub
 lie Ledger.)
 The political explosion of 1912 landed an extraordinary number of democrats in the office of governor, and there was a natural fear on the part of republicans, largely growing out of their own conceit, that these new men would not be able to admin ister affairs satisfa ctorily. It must be admitted, however that so far as the west is concerned the newcomers have done well.
 Nebraska is notable example. Gov. J. H. Morehead has given out that he does not care to run again, but there is an uprising in the state against this decision, and the party leaders have asked that he again file as a candidate.
 Ohio is another state. James NJ Cox, democrat, has not the same pop ularity in his state as Morehead has in Nebraska, but the party is gradu- ally coming to the conclusion that it would be a serious mistake to make a change in a candidate whose admin istration has been good.
 In Illinois there is no complaint against Gov. Dunne, other than would ordinarily be expected from political opponents or disappointed applicants for office, but Dunne is in till Jan uary, 1917.
 In this state it is the United States senatorship that commands the ora tory and manipulation of the poli- ticians. Roger C. Sullivan's cam paign has become so effective that his opponents are now combining against him, even though those opponents are not altogether loving in their rela- tions with one another. Mayor Har- rison, Gov. Dunne and Senator J. Hamilton Lewis have formed an al- lance to oppose this ambitious Irish man. It is the plan to find some body down state that is worthy of Sullivan's steel. Such a man Kent E. Keller of Ava is believed to be.

The State Tax.
(Meriden Journal.)

Meriden taxpayers will have to pay : the state taxes this year on a sum about $1,000,00O larger than last year. We thought at first when this jump in our list had been made by tbe state board of equalization this Week that Meriden was being dis criminated against specifically or that there had been some mistake made. We learn now, however, that New Britain and other cities have been treated in a similar manner and their tax lists jumped out of all propor- ton.
 Every town and city is trying its best to get it's grand list up to the absolute full valuation. We made a strong attempt a few years ago and as a result our list went up some millions. We jumped it last fall once more and the sum was about half a million more than was the old total.
 The equalizing board had been in the habit of placing the sum of $6,- 0O0.000 on our grand list and then fig- uring the state taxes from that sum- When We increased that valuation the state board took cognizance and has been only putting on $3,50O,OOO to the list. It was supposed that since another jump had been added to the valuation that the equaliza- tion board would reduce the addition this year.
 Instead they have increased it and besides the augmented grand list we will have to pay state taxes and county taxes on $4,OOO,OO0 more than the grand list, a half million in- crease over that of last year.
 In view of our efforts to keep the grand list where it should be and that the state board ought to show it's appreciation of our efforts to make increases, We do not think that Meri- den has been properly treated.

 Is 1t not reasonable Question to ask, however, at this time, why the Waterbury liquor men do not close up OH Sunday as do the New Britain dealers and then they can snap their fingers at the state police, stool pigeons and all kinds of sneaky business. it is also the safest.

Woman Sentenced to Death.
(New York Times.)


 Doom to the electric chair was pronounced yesterday on a woman by Justice Davis of the supreme court, and although the trial as it went on attracted little of public attention, in Bronx county, where it was held. there is no doubt that before the sentence is executed there will be a campaign of vehement protest. In- deed, there need not be much more fear than hope that Madelina F'erola will die at the hands of the law, for modern sensibilities, which are not a little disturbed by the judicial kill ing of men. even when they are par ticularly cold-blooded murderers. can with difficulty endure to think of the dreadful act when the victim of it is a woman.
 Logically, of course. there is no excuse for drawing the sex line in the punishment of murderers, and less now then ever--if there can be less than none, and there can, in a way, as every mathematician knows. For the women from whom we hear most are at present vehemently de- manding the abolition of discrimina-

MUST HAVE SHOWER BATHS.

The board of health of Harrison, N. J., has come to the conclusion that the bathtub is menace to health because of its use by so many persons, and it has declared in favor of the shower bath.
 It has been discovered in more than one community that bathtubs have been used as receptables for coal, thus avoiding the unpleasant neces- sity of going to the landing on a cold morning with the hod. But the"Har- rison board of health views the whole matter from the standpoint of clean illness and sanitation,s though it does not seem to have gone far enough: The proper way is to have each per- son take a wash in the tub and then take a shower. That is the new way and the Harrison officials are not only new but they wish to have all others sprinkled.
 The New Jersey folks will, of course, throw out their bathtub3 now or turn them into other uses than for bathing and install shower baths. Is 1t any harm to ask if there are any plumbers or shower bath dealers on the board? There must be something else besides mosquitoes in New Jer- sey.

FOG AT SEA.

The sinking of the steamship "Em- press of Ireland'' has started a dis cussion as to the best course to pur- sue in times of fog at sea and it is quite natural that there should be some varied statements. It is being ties over ship that the boats should be manned and preparation made to leave the ship. It does not require great deal of sagacity to see that such action would produce almost panic on shipboard when in reality there would be no need for 1t. If 1t should be made rule of the sea that in times of fog ships be reduced to the slowest possible rate of speed, to keep the horns blowing and a sharp look out ahead there would not be any danger of a serious collision. It is impossible to see any great distance ahead in a fog but the blowing of the horns would serve to answer as warning, the answering blasts would
 
 no likelihood of a collision.
 It often happens that men in charge of ship pay no attention to a fog and when one comes they run their ship at the same rate of speed, col Hide with another and the result Is similar to that which followed the crash in the St. Lawrence river yes- terday morning. It is said that the captain of ship which made a re- cord run across the Atlantic a few years ago never stopped for fogs or anything else during the trip. There was a fog but the sea was smooth and taking advantage of the smooth water he had his f1remen pile on the coal and the steamer was kept at top York every bit of craft within seeing distance saluted. The ship had made a record run and that is all that was thought of. Had another vessel been twain.
 There was a loud demand made for safety at sea when an investigation was made of the sinking of the Ti- tanic which was due to pure careless ness and what has been the resultt Here is another case almost as dis dressing and judging from the infor- nation obtainable it would seem as if the collier in question were going at a good rate of speed when it hit the Empress when 1t should have been travelling slowly and almost a thous- and people went to their death. There will probably be another in- quiry now, it will be told that great care was being exercised and that will be the end of it until there is an- other disaster like it.

Some to be sure, and among them the most strenuous. will insist that the sem tence in this and like cases is un- just because imposed under man. made law and after trial in which only men took part, but it is only when a woman's life is involved that they seriously present that argument. and they do not carry consistency to the length of insisting on the re- lease of women from all the laws there are until new ones can be made after a new fashion.
 Those of us who recognize the emp tiress of the purely sentimental plea for the murderess as a woman, yet have an underlying desire that some colorable pretext may be found for not breaking the states practically settled habit of letting off with i'm prlsonment the woman who kills in no matter what circumstances. The ghastly task of putting a woman to death in the electric chair involves details of preparation which, though trivial from what would be called the sensible" point of view. really do make this form of execution more abhorrent than the gallows or the block They do it by adding the element Of personal indignity.
 The strictly correct position. how ever, for those to take who would save Madelina Ferola from the chair is to attack capital punishment for either men or women. They cannot advocate a legal discrimination be- tween the sexes in the matter of pun ighing murder
