through discussion we learn, so long as rancor and narrowmindedness are avoided.
 Whatever criticisms may be made of the newspapers of today, however, little some few disgrunted ones may believe in the sincerity of the pub fishers, the fact remains that there arc few professions where the ideals of the rank and file of the workers are higher. Besides the fascination of the business, and the necessity of earning living, thousands of news papermen throughout the country are actuated by a belief that they can best serve humanity by remaining at that occupation rather than in some other line where the chances for suc- cess, as marked by dollars, might be greater. Most of them realize the power they wield and are reluctant to use it except upon the highest mo- tives Oftentimes a rascal escapes with half his deserts because the edi- tor gives him the benefit of the doubt rather than to pillory one who might possibly be acting conscientiously &C., cording to the light vouchsafed to him.
 With the pulling and hauling in cidental 10 politics and the desired preferm ent of certain men and groups of men it is easily imagined what would happen to the press of this city and r,ation if it were dominated by politicians and office holders. Asidc from free speech the greatest benefit conferred by liberty is the free press, and with all it's handicaps the press is much freer than most of its would be critics, and imrheasurably freer than it would be as a municipal pro- position.

"Pecksniffian Finance" (NeW York Worldly

Those eminent bankers and others who insist that the proceeds of the pending Anglo-French loan shall not De used to pay for war munitions ex- ported from the United States need to be disabused of any idea they may nave of paying a tribute to the neu- trality or the average intelligence of the American nation.
 If it were practicable, as it is not, to distinguish nicely, in the selling of foreign exchange against exports. be- tween munitions and general mer- chandise for the entente allies it would none the less be futile By as much as the loan is diverted to pay for general exports, by so much are current imports from France and England released for the payment of munitions. The supposition that there is compulsion in this process upon the Anglo-French allies to pay gold for munitions is without substantial foundation.
 The Pecksniffs of American finance have always heretofore been able to find abundant occupation is exclu- sively home operations. Their intru- sion at this point of our development as the worlds money center is as of- fensive as 1t is ridiculous.

To get the highest efficiency In this day it is necessary to provide the operAeimplements with which ito work. This is just as true for the traffic policeman as it is for the car penter, the bricklayer, the machinist, or any artisan. With poor tools only the poorest work can be done. Now that the men of our. traffic squad need have no fear of standing in the slush and sleet of winter weather, we shall expect a more efficient handling of our traffic, fewer accidents, fewer jams on the main streets. With the proper assistance of the traffickers the traffic officers will be in position to give New Britain service equal to, that rendered in any city of the coun- try These are only little things in their way, the providing of such articles of comfort, but they con- tribute greatly to the efficiency of the city government. What we need is better all around administration, and more public spirited citizens such as those who donated the traffic stands.

The Height of Nonsense.
Providence Journal.)

Ex-Secretary Bryan goes on from one ridiculous statement to another, intoxicated by the exuberance of his own absurdity.
 Now he says that the one hum dred people who took ships that they should not have taken and lost their lives in consequence should not throw 100,000,000 other people into war; The American citizens, men, women and children, who have been cruelty murdered by German subm5 rines on the high seas. had as much right to be where they were when the Kaiser's torpedoes struck the ships on which they had taken passage as we have to be on neutral soil. If MT. Bryan cannot get that through his marvellously inept brain, the sooner he stops talking, the better. The sooner the better, anyway.
 The argument that the fuddled ex- Secretary advances applies equally clearly to every one of the thousands of American citizens who have taken, and still are taking, merchant ships in

Hottest on Earth,
(Troy Times.)

The weather was fairly hot in these Higgins" last week, and there was
 much discomfort in consequence.
 But dwellers in this latitude have
 reason to be thankful that their lot,
 meteorologically speaking, was cast
 in comparatively pleasant places. Tho temperature hcreabouts at its worst was mild when put alongside some
 other sections. One of the very hot test spots in the United States is To- cated in Death Valley the famous desert legion of southern California
 For scientific purposes the govern ment maintains q weather station at a point in the valley which has been proved to be the limit" as to heat. Careful records have been kept for four years, and these show that in- variably the extreme denoted there i1 several degrees above that of anywhere else in the country. On what might be called special occa- sions, as during the prevalence of the recent warm wave, the mercury at the Death Valley weather station lit- ,erally scars. Thus it has gone to 134 degrees, officially stated to be "the highest shade-temperature over recorded in the open air, with stan dard instruments and under approv- ed methods of exposure, in any part of the world" These tests conducted under the most thorough scientilie supervision, and with every precau- tion against error, must be accepted as proving that Death Valley is truly the hottest place on earth, not even excepting the regions exposed to the rays of the equatorial sun. Troy and vicinity naturally and justly seol wilted with the mercury ranging from ninety to q hundred and with large percentage Of humidity add- ing to their distress. But even such trials must be mild compared with the roasting those scientific fellows have to undergo in Death Valley.

Fair HOboes.
Springfield Republican. )

Beyond the Mississippi many girls, overall clad, are beating their way' on freight and passenger trains. Crews say that while heretofore there have been occasional instances of the sort, this year it has been common thing to find bumpers, brake beams or blind baggage Gan unavoidable alliter- ation) bearing ticketless feminine freight with Westward ho!" for a motto. A passenger fireman on the Rocky mountain division of the Mill waukee road rounded up four of these "hoboets" on a recent run, and put them to the test by an order to loosen coal in the tender while he shoveled
 The girls did their best but Missoula, the next stop, was ardently claimed as their station" Small wonder! Even so the four expressed a deter mination to reach Seattle without paying. The influence of war news with pictures of modern Jeannes d. Arc, women aviators, motorists, war nurses and police ,may seem to offer an explanation. But to accept it would be misinterpreting cause and effect. Riding blind baggage and pi- loting aeroplanes are due to inocula- ton with the same germ. Perchance he is the exctteme ent microbe The meaning of it all is then, that, given a chance, women will do whatever men do up to point where physical imposslbility blocks them off. ,nAnd there is small reason to believe beam riders fundamentally different from the reckless drivers of ''red devils" That is question of pocketbook, not psychology. :

The Municipal Newspaper. (Bridgeport Standard

Serious consideration will hardly be Igiven the suggestion, however we'll intentioned, that the city establish a newspaper. The reasons are mani fold, diverse and complex. The writer of the suggestion, like many who have never engaged in the production of a daily paper probably realizes but dimly the progresses that go to make a newspaper, the amount of capital required and the many questions that continually arise as to policy, not only in the news columns but in the advertising and business departments.
 Unless the man who wants muni- cipal newspaper contemplates that the entire expense shall be borne by the city, and the paper distributed free of charge, his cry of commer- cialism is all timed Without adver- tising to carry part of the burden of production the newspaper of today would consist of less pages or would be sold at a price enormously above what is now asked. On the other hand the newspaper of today with out advertisements would appeal to a very limited clientele in the com munity. It is fact that the adVer- tisements are almost as widely read as the news and are regarded by the majority in the community as busi- ness world news.
 The writer of the communication to Mayor Wilson certainly has no cause to complain of the courtesy of the press, for he has been afforded every opportunity to, present the claims of the society of which he is 9. member, and has been given much space in all the papers.

 The Standard does not necessarily endorse such views as may be expres- sed in this way, but provides a free platform and on open forum for the discussion of all topics, from indus trial unrest to the ethical philosophy of the ancients.

the most stupendous exhibition

year.

already filled, the fine program
stake races, and the many other
attractions booked or contracted
for all point to the banner year
of all the sixty years the Darke

been holding fairs.
The premium list has been
greatly enlarged and new depart

over the county.
Two big New York Hippodrome
acts have been secured for free

largest wild animal shows in ex-
istence will be among the pay
shows.
