STATE FINANCE BOARD.

Connecticut has long needed a re-
form in the manner in which it has
passed upon and regulated its finances
This was seriously considered by the
last general assembly upon the sug-
gestion OF Governor Holcomb and a
start made in the right direction when
a finance board was authorized.
The good work Of the legislature has
now been followed by the sound judg-
Enent which was to be expected from
the governor in the selection of the
appofntive members of that board. The
work calls for men who have had ex-
perience in that direction, men who
are qualified to render the best pos
stble service and who are naturally
fitted for the task placed upon them.
Thus in his choice Of Senator Wad-
hams, who was chairman of the
finance committee at the last session
of the legislature, Senator MageN who
held the responsible place as chairman
of the appropriations committee and
e. Kent Hubbard. a prominent bus
mess man. there is every indication
that the best interests Of the state
have been served. All are men who
command the confidence of the peo-
pie. They meet the requirements Of
the office and two at least have been
thrown into close touch with the very
details which they must handle in the
future. Associated as they will be
with the state treasurer, comptroller
and tax commissioner, board that
promises desired results in dealing
with the states financial problem is
assured. The board furnishes q strong
reinforcement to the start which the
legislature made.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Manchester Invades Norwich.

Mr.. Editor:-The City Of Norwich
was doing business in its usual and
successful way yesterday morning but
was disturbed by a party from a town
supposed to be known as Manchester.
This town, We are assured Is on the

miss it. Consequently what do we
know of its citizens criminal prose-
cution and no Y NJ. c. A propensities.
Joy Riding to an ordinary man is
an incident but to the Manchester
man 1T seems a habit (See Police

The Speed King, of the aforesaid
town, We are told, had collected, af-
ter several months persuasion on the
part of that district outlying the sup
positions Manchester, to gather to-
gether 20 Fords-mostly of that vim
tage where their purchase of the same
got them a rebate
The securing Of the rebate afforded
them yesterday a five years wish to
visit the famous resort known as
Ocean Beach. To them II was the
same as Mecca to the orthodox No.

Of Norwich was disturbed by thai

Countermarching-if the term is I'M
derstood by them-popcorn was the
staple food and by gosh" 1t was
good after that long trip from no
where. Such are the spendthrifts who
visit the City of Norwich.
We are pleased to say that the
Cop" on the corner of the Shannon

NEW DEER Law.

In view Of the fact that the new
deer law goes into effect in this state
the first OF august. It Is perhaps well
that those who are affected thereby
should know the provisions OF the act
which are published elsewhere The
new law removes the protection from
the deer throughout the year, but 1t
does not permit each and every one
to go into the country and hunt them.
The killing Of the deer is restricted
to the owner or lessee Of land, the
members Of his family or employee
who have been given permission by
the owner, and then they can be shot
only on the land OF the owner or the
lessee, It also makes It obligatory
that report Of every killing must be
made to the fish and game commits
sioners within "a hours
The new law has been drawn for
the purpose OF giving the farmer the
opportunity to protect himself against
the large amount of damage which is
done annually by the deer. The deer
were 50 guarded that there are large
numbers Of them in the state and
they raise havoc in gardens and
orchards. Heretofore the farmer could

HAMPERS BRITISH LITTLE.

Despite the fact that Germany. main
tains .thatait is fighting for its exist

policy is necessary in order to shut
off the supplies OF its enemy which
1t holds has used unjust methods in
shutting off foodstuffs for it's civilian
population. It can get little satisfac-
ton out Of the report which comes
from tho British Board OF Trade when
it is declared that Of the twenty thou
sand vessels which had entered or left
the port Of Liverpool. only,29 had been
sunk or captured. This lisa very small
proportion and when It is realized that
most of that number have been small
vessels, it cannot have furnished any
very serious handicap to the British.
The amount Of beneatSwhich has been
gained by Germany is likewise small
when sthe report also shows that the
imports for the, year ending with last
month gained more than $50, 900, 900
over the preceding year, while the ex-
ports dropped $50 100000. This meant

THE BRIDGEPORT STRIKE.

The announcement from Bridgeport
to the effect that the strike is over
and that even those few who were
out will return to work indicates a
sane consideration upon the part OF
the worlSmen involved, That the strike
has proved a fizzle is one of the best
bits Of evidence furnished by the men
themselves that the trouble should
never have gone to any such threat
ening point as has been claimed fol-
it. That it was chiefly the result OF
dangerous agitators has been evidenced
from the start. There was nothing
involved which necessitated or war
ranted a strike. It was an occasion
where reason should prevail and this
it is indicated is just what has hap
pened.
Had those who were leading and de-
termined to have their way, been sue
cessful. there would be conditions
prevailing in Bridgeport today similar
to what has happened in Bayonne,
N. j.. where bloodshed has taken the
place of peaceful industrial activity.
That the Bridgeport trouble has been
nipped in the bud is not only a happy
outcome for that city, but it is graf
flying end of an effort which was
aimed at all New England. The
method adopted and the course pur-
sued by the international union rep
resentatfves reflects no credit upon
that organization. They gave little
consideration to the position of the
Bridgeport workingmen. 1t is lesson
in Industrial strife which will long be
remembered by the people Of Bridge
port and it should have its good ef-
fects wherever such questions are
raised in the future. The Bridgeport
n1achinists are to be congratulated
upon their good Judgment.
