NEW TIA VEN COURT
 PLACE FOR HALL

Hartford, Feb. 24-The efforts Of the two New Haven representatives proved feeble against the state or ganization in the lower house of the general assembly yesterday, when 8. resolution was put through naming Major George D. Hall judge of the New Haven city court, in concur renee with the senate The de- mands voiced by Representatives Frederick L. Perry and Edward J. Stanford, each of whom opposed Hall and supported former Judge Samuel D. Hoyt, were ignored and the reso- lution reported by the Judiciary conn uittee was passed. The yea and nay vote was taken but the clerks in formal count showed 1Ss to g.
 The defeat was not unexpected, but the size of the vote in Halls favor was a surprise. The fact that the bate on the civil service bill tended to make the members impatient Of debate and may partly explain the over whelrning vote in Halls favor.
 The action Of the house assures Major Hall of the place on the city court bench in New Haven. as coI- league of Judge John R. Booth, who has already been named. He will succeed Judge Edward P. O'Meara, who is a Democrat on June l.
 During the debate, Representative Hyde Of Manchester, the Republican floor leader. made a frank statement that the contest on the judgeship was due to a factfona1 fight between the New Haven Republican machine and a group. of outsiders. He men tioned Mayor Frank J. Rice as one of Major Halls supporters and therefore presumably as one of the soutsiders.'' ?

PEACE CENTENARY CELEBRATION.

A service was held in Christ Church
Sunday morning. February IA, to com
memorate the hundredth anniversary o1
peace between the United States anC
Great Britain. Plans for this celebration
had been laid as far back as 1908 when
meeting held at the instance of ex-
President Roosevelt and Andrew Carna-
gle discussed ways and means of carry
ing them out and made tentative pro-
posals toward establishing a permanent
movement to the cause of peace either
at Niagara Falls or at some other suita-
BILE point along the Americana Canadian
border.
In his sermon on this subject. Rev.
E. H. j. Andrews mentioned these plans
and also called attention to the fact that
during the past century there had be, n
fewer wars than in the century preced-
ing and in spite of the present World
War now raging in Europe expressed
the opinion that the present trerd of the
human race was toward the aboli hment
of arbitrament by force of arms.
A glance at history in general and
that of the United States and Great
Britain in particular will bear out this
statement and reveal the fact that set
tlement of disputes by arbitration has
had steady growth ever since it had
its beginning in Ancient Greece in the
Amphictyonic a Council, the first court of
arbitration in the annals of the human
race. Much stress has been laid upon
the two wars between the United States
and Great Britain and but little is known
generally of the various disputes be-
tween the two countries settled by arbi-
tration without recourse to the arbitra-
ment of war. The Canadian boundary,
the Alabama claims, the Behring Sea
Fisheries, the Venezuela affair, all these
are testimonies to the inrate sense. of
fairness of the two races and the Angle
Saxon willingness to abide blythe judicial
decision of a court of arbitration. If
is to be learned from this Cen
tenary of Peace certainly it is this fact
that International Arbitration is not a
mere political theory but a practical
method of settling disputes, at least be-
tween Anglo-Saxon nations so far ad
vanced in civilization as Great Britain
and the United States.

and the question Resolved, That Our
Schools Should Be Consolidated" was
discussed pro and con. The judges were
old teachers. one of whom was lady.
They gave the decision to George Jones
who defended the negative side of the
question. A literary program followed
the debate. The proceeds from the
affair were S17. 65 and this was devoted
to the Instrument Fund of the school.

We are fortunate indeed to be able to
profit by the experience of our neigh
bors. The public utterances of Milford
residents on the following subject will
interest and benefit many of our read
ers. Read this statement. No better
proof can be had.
William R. Hudson, Milford. Del,
says: "My back was in such bad shape
that after sitting down / couldn't get
up without placing my hands to my
knees for support. 1t required an effort
for me to walk even block and was
hardly able to move at times. My kid
neys did not act right and were weak.
The kidney secretions contained quite a
bit of sediment. / had a tired feeling
across my back and sharp. shooting
pains through my loins. A friend told
me about Doan's Kidney Pills and used
two boxes. They rid me of the trouble
and was thus convinced of their merit.
What | said in the public statement
gave before recommending Doan's Kid
ney Pills, cheerfully confirm now. My
kidneys have given me no trouble since
the cure was made.
