 Among the people who shave made records in the service Of the country are some in whom Connecticut is es- pecially interested, as they hail from this state and are known everywhere. as .Connecticut men" One of these. is James Mark Sullivan, lately minis ter to the Dominican Republic. As d, protege of Mr. Bryan's, attention was called especially to him and although he enjoyed the favor of the secretary of state it is a. question if that fact; was not somewhat to his disadvan. tage. He was in office as the reward of party services. and therefore he responded with a1acrity to the de- mand of the secretary for places for deserving democrats and the pub-t lication of that fact preiudiced the judgement of the people as to his craftsmanship and other qualifica-t tions for a diplomatic position That he proved misfit was not strange, but it is evident that he might have passed in the place he occupied if nn- usual prominence had not been given to him and his methods by his asso- citation with MT. Bryan. As it was he stood with Bryan and he fell with him, whereas unfit as diplomat al- though he was, he might have rubbed along and got through without in> validating trouble had he stood alone.

 Dallas, Texas. has offered a hun dred thousand dollars for the privilege of entertaining the democratic na-, tional convention for 1916, whereas the bonus for such gatherings usually Is $50,000. This has occasIoned con- siderable comment among those who cannot see. how Dallas figures it. That is the easoest thing in the world and should suggest itself to every wide- awake business man. Dallas is out for advertising and figures on an invest ment of hundred thousand dollars that hustling community can get $200,OO0 worth of publicity It wouldn' do any harm for New Haven to look into this municipaf advertising proposition.

The Safety Value Of Talk.
[ (Waterbury Americanl.

Do not be alarmed for the free- dom of the press. The government is not likely to interfere with the rabid pro-German press even when it bor- ders on reasonable talk. For the present at least public opinion can deal with them. Note what the press and public of Utica did to the Ger man-American Alliance and it's presi- dent, Henry Weoisnnann, for their at- tack on American policy and on Presi- dent Wilson, in resolutions and speeches. No threats were made against the 1000 maniacs who pledg- ed themselves to stand together" if worst came to worst between the United States and Germany, but they were given plainly to understand that Utica people had no use for them and their sentiments and that their pres ence and their talk were not agree able. This ugly German feeling can be controlled in this way and its ex- pression allowed up to certain ex-. tent as safety value of relief.

 However, Great Britain, in this supplementary reply, takes a different attitude from that taken by the orig inal one, and if she has, in the brief interval between the two, come to un- derstand that she, is not in 6 position to do precisely as she pieases with us, she will find the American people in quite as receptive a mood as if they had not had their tempers stirred by the blundering original.
 This country is no more seeking gratuitous trouble with England than with Germany and nc more with Ger many than with Englanq She in- sists that she shall not be made shuttlecock between them and she is as ready to combat any such purpose ons the part of the one as upon the part of the other.

(Fro1n Milwaukee Journal.)

| + 5s7 .sE .t
 (From Milwaukee Journal)
 Let no mistake be made III res"i N to Americas demand and her sposiE | tion. Everything that she ashs v Germany she has an absolu.e ,s -
 to ask and to receive unuer .iie - of nations. Her case in clear, Sei irrefutable. And it is Just as oe. .a that in what she demands ol Britain she insists upon the Iuii ill0 ssure of the rights, which the iaw =
 nations give her. In the one case she
 protests against the illegal killing CT "A American citizens. In the other case
 she nrotests against the illegal cap-
 ture detention and confiscation or
 American shipping. She stands open zlv and rcsolutely against lawlessness k of all kinds on the water common to ss the nations of the earth.
 Violent agitators and meek paci- k fists alike occasionally apply such
 terms as .1egalism" and 1ornalism ( to Americas consistent course in up-.
 holding the principles of internation-
 al law. Such use 3f these terms
 shows crass ignorance of the situa- : ton. international law is the only thing that can save the world from ". the courage and conscience to SUD- port the principles of international law. everything that has been done through the ages to mitigate the hor- TOTS of war, to make the innocent immune from slaughter, to make civ-4 ilization a fact instead of a mere name, to advance the standard ot society and the cause of humanity. iss n nrnEcir1c = 1f hns,, away. s <. What is internationa1 law? One writer defines it as '.the rules which determine the conduct of the general + body of civilized states in their mu-- tual dealings" It represents the growth of the world sense of justice, equity and morality. Between a world in which the nations should fail to- uphold international law and a state or community which should permit all its laws to be set aside, there. would be no real difference. Anar-s chism would prevail in either case.
 And so, in calling Germany and Great Britain to account, America is not only demanding respect for her own rights, but she is trying to pre- vent the repetition of acts that would make war inevitable, for in the ab- sence of emphatic protest and warn ing. conditions would surely drift from bad to worse and become intol- erable. Intaking her stand, Ameri- ca Is serving, not her own interests only, not the interests of other nett tral nations only, but the cause of humanity and civilization-even the cause, in the end. of the warning peo pies themselves.
