as it Is more and more fully recog. nized that upon the effectiveness cf the militia must depend the security uniform of the NaIionul Guard must be looked upon, not as participants in a childish game of ts.ake-belleve. but as real soldiers Of the republic. learning the business or national de- fens".
 Wherefore the time has passed when imposing military titles might be passed around tr civilian poli-' tcians as cheap way of paying po- hr!cai debts by tickling vanity, with out doing any especial harm. In our newly awakening sense of the sig nificance of such titles. in the new understanding of what it means to wear the uniform of soldier, there is no room for the cheapening of either title or uniform by distribut- ing it as political largesse.

Great Deal in Honest Name.
(New York Sum-

It is a common practice for per- sons unable to win respect for their own names to steal the names of others who by honesty and honorable conduct have achieved good standing in the community. Of this fraud New York has had several examples lately, and it notoriously afflicts the retail business of the town to scan- dalous extent. At present it is diff ficult to protect the public against such impositions, the only means or de- fense being d civil suit prosecuted by the rightful bearer of the assumed or initiated name at his own expense and to guard his own interests.
 To remedy this situation and make less simple the path of the swindler an amendment to the penal law has been fayorably reported by the as-

Inc Govcc-or's Ridiculous Stan.
 (New London Day.)


 Now thas tho legislature has very wisely decided .ilat there N no neoes- stsy Tor -s--iI.K 10 the size of the gov ernor's military stun it might well de ve1op this nartiooiar manifestation of ccu,nan sense a b!c further and ou- pioy it in the operation of doing away wlfh that highly ornate ard extrsor- dinarily chU5!sh Institution alto gethsr.
 If the existence of the purely dec orative governors. staff did no harm to anytody bat it's own merr.bers-;s its on;y bad frui. were the foster.nz \ os such small boy vanity as fingers in tho breasts Of many fully grown men the subject might be dismissed with a smile. But because the tinsel ycolonelcies and majorstes and cap tainoies of the staf9 become confused in the minds of the people with the real military titles conferred by the state upon her citizen soldiers the ef- feet is to discredit, to q greater or less extent, the status of the real sol diers Of the National Guard. And this is a bad business which puts the maintenance of the entirely useless governors staff in a different light.
 It is not merely a joke; it is a handicap to the military establish r1ent of the state; because not many people know that it has really noth- ing to do with the military service at all, and that the way in which these foolish colonelcies and majorates are handed out is not the way in which actual National Guard commissions gre created.
 Even the most stubbornly reluctant are being forced to recognize the fact that the military training of & consid- erable number of men is a real neces- sity in this country; it is beginning to dawn on all minds that the militia Is potentially a factor of very great inn portance. Ii is going to be the earnest task of every state in the Union to develop its militia to a greater degree of effectiveness. Citi- zen soldering is going to be regarded in a much more serious light in the future than 1t has been in the past

It is now practically settled that there will be no extra session of con- gross this fall. Democratic leaders have warned President Wilson that the only possible change left for his early next year will be through a re- turn of business prosperity. An extra session of congress would effectively kill any improvement and make mat ters worse. The president has also been advised that the problem of rais- ing more revenue may become still more acute and add to the difficulties which will confront the party in the next campaisn.-Bridgep Post.
 Why should Connecticut and other New England states purchase their craft horses from the middle weastern states: There is no reason except that 1he people of the New England states have never taken seriously the idea of raising their own horses.
