There is not much likelihood that a bill will be passed by the present legislature repeating the death pen- alty. The committee which has been siving hearings on the case has re- ported adversely. There is great abundance of testimony on both sides of this question. It is also easy to show that fear of death does not deter man from murder. It is also easy to show that in states where the death penalty has been repealed there is a greated number of homicides than in states where it is the law. One Il ouble is with the execution of it. The great number of homicides and the comparative infrequency of oXecu- tions is surprising thing. Experts in penology and judges of the criminal courts are not as a general thing in favor of the repeal of the law. It is already nullified too frequently by various influences in which sentiment t;.lity is perhaps as operative as any. --Waternury American.

Everybody should give the jitney Q helping hand. For they may be 8 blessing to the community. Anything that will improve the abominable trolley service that Waterbury has been subject to of late, will be much appreciated by the public. The troll Icy service has been getting worse instead of better and apparently no effort has been made to improve con- dltions. We do not know who really is at fault, but one thing is certain the trolley service in Waterbury has heer anything but good and if the public can give any encouragement to the jitneys it should do so.-Water- Eury Democrat.

Much interest has been aroused throughout the state on the unfavor- able report submitted in the house this week by the committee on con stltutonal amendments on an amend rnent which would abolish the present age limit of 70 years for all judges and justices of the peace in Connecti- cut. If this measure had been adopted ten years ago in all prob- ability Governor Baldwin would still be judge of the supreme court. and would never had given Connecticut four of the most important years of bis life as governor. Governor Hol- ccmb on reaching the age of 70 last November would probably not have been nominated for governor. and would still be giving his valuable ser vices to the state through his de- cisions on the bench of the superior ccurt.----Hartford Post

James J. Hill believes that the war will end in October because of the financial, physical and industrial ex- haustion of the combatants. It may and then again it may not. Mr. Hill is entitled to his guess in common with all of us. Still he seems to have some grounds for his belief and it may well turn out as he says. There is little doubt as to the present ex- haustion of Austria, Servta. Turkey and Belgium. When the others are brought to the same desperate level they may we'll look with favorable eyes upon peace as the only way out os their difficulty.-AnsonIa Sentinel.

lively few contracts.
Minor league clubs which have claims
on players who left their ranks for the
federals will be given opportunity to
buy the men who fail to find places in
the majors, according to Mr.. Gilmore.
In few OF these cases it is possible the
owners >of the Federal league will have
to supply part OF the contract salaries.
Deals for the players will be going on
