Thinking With the stomach.
(Briugeport FarmCr.)

Political machines, like armies, travel on their sto1nachs. The pres cnt political management of Connec- ucut is all stomach. It thinks With it's stomach. A thinking stomach is not entirely novel, but large scale plants, like the one in this state arc rather rare. A stomach knows only two things. that 1t is hungry, and that 1t wants to grab anything in sight satisfying to hunger
 By losing sight Of this elementary psychology, Prof. Farnum and other members Of the civil service associa- ton fall into error. They arc not using the right arguments They arc opposing tne slaughter of the civil service law by appeals to patriotism, by showing that the state will be in jured if the repeal takes place, and by other arguments addressed to morality and intelligence.
 Far contrary is the method that should be employed. There is but one argument valid with d thinking stom- ach. It is to prove to 1t that a cer- tain line Of conduct will diminish the quantity of things available for it's satisfaction
 Prof. tarnum should simply say to the committee on judiciary, which is one of the organs of the political stomach "Gentlcmen, if you disturb the civil service law, for which intel lieent republicans and intelliecnt democrats have fought so long and so unselhshly, the public will disturb you. They will take you up by the nap of the neck and the seat of the tros- CTS and forcibly remove you from your convenient positions next to the trough.'
 If this argument doesn't save the civil service law from the assaults of hungry politicians, no argument can.

Plea Offered for Pnstsage of Neutrality
 Bill

Editor Herald:
 There is now pending before con- gross, a bill to prohibit the shipment of munitions of war from this country to the warning nations of Europe, and 1t seems to me that every intelligent consistent. Christian resident of this commonwealth should use their best influence to secure it's passage, eith CT by direct or indirect appeal to our representatives at Washington.
 When we stop to consider for moment how inconsistent and hypocritical our actions at the present time will appear to future genera tons. as they read in history of how we enlightened. cultured, Christian Americans, in the year of Our Lord. 1915. prayed with a loud voice for peace in all the world, with our left hand gave abundantly of bread and clothing and medicine to the wounded, homeless and suffering victims of the worlds war and with our right hand passed out rifles and cartridges, and all the rest of the deadly tools of war, to swell the list of fallen sons and fathers, to produce more widows and orphans and create more misery and starvation.
 Shall we as Americans. neigh bors, fellow citizens of the late EMihu Burritt. insult and belittle his memory by selling our very souls for miserly pittance to this octupus of war. greed and commercialism, or shall we use the powers our fore fathers wisely placed in our hands and by our influence as people, de- mand that congress act at once and prohibit this traffic in blood and human woe.
 What better monument to the memory of the Learned Blacksmith can we erect, than the launching of crusade that shall deprive the war lords of Europe as far as we are con- cerned, of the materials with which to carry on their conflict of hatred and eXtermination.

Sclf-support For Adults.
(San Francisco Chronicle.)

1t appears that under the laws of a family is compelled to support his children, not only during their years of immaturity. but as long as they live And the children can work or not just as they please.
 Surely, that Is rough on the old man. Tn China, the adult children have to support their parents. if they need support, and fathers who are burdcncd with large families will hold that that is one of the useful customs which we might well import from the orient
 Inspired by a particularly ugly case of mcanncss and general good-for- nothingncss which occurred in San Joaquin county, Senator Stucken hruck has introduced a bill which. if enacted into law, will be a genu- inc credit to the "nonpartisan" pro- srcsivcS, who arc our present rul- CTS.
 It appears that ablc-boded woman of 35 in that county, where the demand for household workers is probably as good as elsewhere, se- cured, by court order, a monthly all loWancr of SIS from her father, who is 7S years old, and whose only means of support is said to be a civil war pension. What was left for the father does not appear. It is said that, under the law, the court had no alternative but to make the or der. although we are inclined to guess that a federal war pension is not attachable under any state law.
 Senator Stuckenbruck has intro duccd a bill to insert the word min or before "children" in the offend ing law, the result of which would be that after attaining their legal ma jority lazy children would have to get in and dig for themselves.
 Up to that age, by a most gro- tcsuuc legal fiction, children are as- parents, who can make them work and take their wages in part payment for what it cost to raise them to working age. Why that fiction persists in our statute books is hard to under stand, for everyone knows that in American families parents are under control of their children from the day that the children are born.
 The Stuckenbruck bill, if enacted into law, will mark an entirely new departure in progressive legislation, or, as the democrats call 1t, the for ward" movement. All such legisla- tion hitherto has been in the direc- tion of checking production and en- couraEinG lazineSs.
 More power to the non-partisan arm.

Romance Reversed.

(tIeNGlanu fla1n DCalCf.)
 Ireful and loudly shouting parents, cgging on disinterested officers of the law, are the evil spirits of most elopements of romance and of some clopements of reality. Always the intcrlopers seem to have the police on their side, serving as enemies to the pretty schemes of Cupid.
 There was quite reversal of the usual custom in Yonkers. N. r., re- gently. In the middle of the after noon the bridegroom extracted the bride from Il window of her mothers s home and took her to a magistrate for the fulillment of the marriag ge formalitics. Both bride and bridc- groom had reason to fear u descent in force by the brides mother. The benign magistrate, hearkenins to their pleas, stationed two policemen at his door to prevent an unseemly interruption. The would-be intcrrup- ton arrived when the ceremony was about half finished, but was forcibly detained. The marriage complete, the police men withdrew, and the stormy moth CT was requested to give concra tula- tions and. blessings. Rather. she de- voted herself to a general dcnuncja- = tion of police and magistrates and to special denunciation of certain of ficials of the city of Yonkers
 On the whole, one rather leans toward admiration of the Yonxe magistrate and of the two policemen who served so efficiently as Cupid'a aids. They are so different from the usual run of their kind.

There appears to be an increase in petty thieving in New Britain, al- though the police say that it is not as prevalent as one might think on account of there being so many per sons idle. Satan finds some mischief still for idle hands to do" are the favorite lines at the police station where all the petty thieving is re- ported and where line is gotten as to who commits it and why. Those in charge say that when people are idle, if any way inclined at all many will steal, this has been proven from time to time and it is not nfreuuent for those arrested to tell the court that poverty drove them to it. but this is not by any means true in every case There are some who make a regular business of petty thicvery and all that restraints them from commit ting the ofense moro frequently is the lack of opportunity.

BILLY SUNDAY SLIDES HOME.

Possibly there are some people who Sunday, the ex-ballplayer who is now conducting evangelistic services in Philadelphia. During the exercises yesterday he told the story of tho death of some of the great ballplayers of his time on account of drink and in a moment of oral heat he slid across the platform landing on his chest and shouting safe, safe at home" and with tears streaming from the booze and get safe home" It Is easy to understand how an audience might be affected by this statement especially when made under such thrilling circumstances. It isn't every one who can slide for home on a platform made of lumber without acquiring some slivers; 1t isn't every one who can slide for home on the ball field where the conditions are
  a platform. There is no question but that Sunday is spectacular evan gelist and while he is engaged in Q good work it is serious question whether converts to a christian life made under such circumstances will continue for any great length of time to travel the straight and narrow path.
 Sunday is becoming rich as a result of his evangelistic work his physical condition is no doubt of the best, his long training as ballplayer standing him well now and he can perform some athletic feats that could not be undertaken by another preacher without danger and possibly great injury. He is probably in real earn est too, his shedding tears may suggest that, but when viewed as pulpit speaker he is in q class by him. self The sliding part of the eXer- cises ought to bring him a good hand. That must be indeed a difficult feat especially if one expects to continue speaking.
