people who live inland are beginning to realize that little preparedness, like little learning. is dangerous thing; and. while not intending to drink too deep of the "Armorian" spring they do mean to give support to any measures that will mean for adequate defense of the nation. With the great states of the Middle West the question of preparedness has never been a serious one. Living far inland these people never have thrust upon them the possibility of invasion. They are secure in their geographical position. All of which goes to show the many angles of America. The men on the Atlantic coast cannot fathom the need of irrigation for the western lands. The men of the Middle West, as a rule, cannot see why those on the coast should worry because of impending aggression. And so it goes. As long as there is this divergence of sentiment there will never be any headlong rushing into so-called "militarism." But there will be the building up of an adequate defense. The nation is ripe for such move, and, if conducted along safe and sane lines it will have the support of the vast majority of true Americans.

BOOKER 1T. WASHINGTON.

With the death of Booker T. Wash ington yesterday the negro race loses its greatest educator, a man who de- voted his entire life to the uplifting g of his people. Booker Washington took up the work where Frederick Douglas left off. The latter had gained somewhat of recognition for his people by his oratorical powers, but it re- mained for some man to get down to bed rock and away from the flimsy This Booker Washington did. Instead of trying to force the emancipated ne- gro in where there was no place for him, Booker Washington decided that at first the negro must be educated. Then when that was over he would let him paddle his own canoe. By teach ing the fundam entails to his race the founder of Tuskegee solved the big gest part of a complex problem Southerners at first averse to recoe- nizing this mans work later came to the belief he was doing a great good and accordingly he was admired. Be- cause of his humble start in life Booker Washington's success is noth- ing more than phenomina1. He never knew his father, his mother was an humble slave woman. On his journey through life he met mountains and if he could not cross them he cut them down. Despised at the outset ne later won recognition from the leading men of the nation. He was the cause of national controversy, was honored by four Presidents of the United States and vested with degrees by two leading universities. From a con- glomerate mass of structures little bet ter than chicken GOODS he brought Tuskegee Institute in Alabama up to the rank of a modern institution of learning, with excellent buildings, a wonderful expanse of ground, and recognized curriculum. This will ever be his monument He built even bet ter than he knew, for if the negro race is ever to be redeemed as he would have 1t, the work must be done through education and education such as Book CT Washington outlined not through the striving after social equality. It re- mains now for another giant to rise from his ashes, and carry on the work he started.

 Kansas has the champion horse shoe pitcher, the victorious billiardist, the best baseball pitcher. the biggest puncher in the world. and. batting itself all over for these triumphs. the Wichita Eagle says:
 "All we need is time in order to gather in the other cups, belts and engraved souvenirs in the sporting world. We will attend to the aristo- cratic crowd that monkeys with golf and tennis just as soon as we get around to it..
 That will not be long, for Kansas is now ahead on automobiles, and golf follows the autos as the night follows the day. But Kansas will never catch up with the procession until it has de- veloped the chief bowler.

The Worldwide Desire.
(Meriden JOurnal.)

American manufacturers and Job- bers are insisting that the Washing ton government give them the op- portunity to reach the markets of the world and as usual the demand also calls for "the quickest route.' The Commerce department has estab- lished several branches in the large centers and evidently the news has gone around, since there are applica- tions for twenty-five additional branches in as many different cities.
 The federal auth horities have given assurance that they will throw the throttle wide open, and the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce Is being expanded rapidly in order to meet the opportunities to the people by reason of the European war.
 There has been a great improve ment in the nature of our foreign commerce and the millionaire tour ists have been obliged to stay at home to keep from being shot. by the American ammunition that has been going over the waters in shiploads.

The Insurance Trust.
Bridgeport Telegram.

\D1lN6OpolI 1e1eS dIi.J
 The days of railroad domination at the Connecticut capital never exceed ed the intensity of the railroads grip upon the throttle of legislation, the situation which now prevails in re- gard to the insurance trust and the Connecticut legislature. The fact that Hartford is the headquarters for many of the great insurance com panies has made lobbying and legisla- tion- fixing in behalf of the insurance companies an especially enjoyable proceeding-a sort of combining of business with pleasure.
 The grip of the insurance trust has never been more strongly indicated than in the manner in which it has succeeded in preventing the passage in the Connecticut legislature of any measure providing for a state 1n- surance fund for the administration of the Workman's Compensation Act
 At recent court hearing on one of the cases under this act it was brought forward that most of the contested decisions arising are fought by the insurance companies. And the premiums charged for compensa- tion insurance are so high that the working of the act is handicapped.
 Many of Bridgeport's factories are insured in factory mutual lnsur- ance combinations, because in the old days, factory insurance was sky-high. The factory mutuals ended that con- dition. Similarly with the compen- sation act--for the protection of en- ployer and employe alike-a state insurance fund too should be creat- ed to be administered at a cost, or close to cost. The whole purpose of the workmen's compensation act will be defeated if employers are first obliged to pay heavy premiums for in- surance, and then to sit helpless while insurance companies contest the claims of their injured employees.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL.

Pessimists are ever reverting to "the good old days and insistent in their cries that at' present there is no chance for the poor boy in Ameri- ca. That may be; but from cur sory reading of newspapers it is evil denced that there are many poor boys who have risen to positions of wealth and prominence within the past decade or so. It was only yes- terday we read of one man who died and left a fortune approximated at some thirty five million dollars. And fifteen years ago he was clerk i'll a small mercantile house gathering in the modest wage of fifteen dollars per week. In the news of the day previous there was the story of man who paid fifteen million dollars for the shares of stock which gave him control of one of the largest steel corporations in the world. He began work for this same concern twenty-seven years ago as water boy earning the munificent sum of five dollars a week. Presumably he must have made the bulk of his fortune within the last fifteen years Or SO And these occurrences are not rareties in the news. The stories are becoming so plentiful that news papers are not playing them up' the way they formerly did. America, judging from the men who have started with nothing and ended with
 everything, seems still to be full of opportunities for struggling youths. ! But, of course, the youth must do some struggling. Whether it be fame, or fortune, there is always a ! chance if the seeker has the neces- l sary credentials,- am bition, stick to-
 it-tiveness, tand undying faith. plus
 a few more essential attributes.
 There is always < a chance for the 1 right man.
