Setback For Teachers.
Rockville Leader.)

ICducI'J
 Last Thursday the senate defeated the statewide Teachers Pension bill. This is to be deeply regretted. It Is the general expectation that in many of the larger and wealthier cities, systems of local pensions will take it's place. In fact, New Haven and New London now have pension systems broader in scope and more liberal in amount than the proposed measure which the state of Connecticut rejects. It is understood that Bridgeport, Meriden and other places have been waiting for the result of the action of the legislature on this measure and have promised their teachers local measures in event of failure of tho statewide movement. The Leader has it on good authority from one promin- ent in the State Teachers association that this is probably the last fight that the state association will wage for this measure. Teachers in the large cities have been growing luke warm in support of tho measure, as soon as they have seen that cities offer even more liberal measures. Within the next two years it is req sonably certain that several city pen Siih SyoIoiiio "'ii pS III opSid eehNt without the support of the city teach CTS, the movement for statewide pen sions will probably die. .t..
 The Leader cannot look upon this situation as fortunate for the smaller towns and small cities, which cannot afford to establish pension system of their own. It will mean in operation that the procession of the best and most experienced teachers from thesc towns to the large ccntcr3 will in crease in size. The smaller conlmun- ities will have to continue to have their schools used as training schools for city teachers. Is this for the best interest of the state of Connecticut as a whole? Should not this properly be matter of statewide action rath- CT than local?

Gov. Toss and the Temperance Issu
Springfield Republican,

H. Eugene Noble FosS, three times
 governor of Massa ~husetts, has a gift for keeping the politicians guessing It was lately intimated that he is on his way back to an active share in our politics. The fact that he declared for national prohibition in an address at the Franklin Union in Boston Monday night is sugges- tive of political possibilities.
 Not only has prohibition been gain ing ground in the United States, but

 tions of Europe that the use of liquor

In view of the popularity of the idea cf teaching the use of arms to the boys of private and public shools of this country, provided there Is no compul- sory course in the subject it IS inter- tsting that there has been marked ob- jection to the suggestion in England. Efforts to have the instruction or mill , tary drill introduced in the elementary schools of London and other cities have failed because of the refusal of the ed- ucational authorities to sanction such a step and already the matter is up for discussion before parliament.- Waterbury Republican.

TEXANS SWEAR
REVENGE FOR
z SLAIN Men

BROWNSVILLE. Tex. Sept. B.
Anger rose high along the border to-
day and state and federal authorities
fear that bloody reprisals will follow
the murder OF j. S. Smith and r. E.
Donaldson by Mexican bandits. It was
learned today that the two Americans
were brutally tortured before they
were slain.
With their arms and feet bound, the
victims were dragged for several
miles over the rough ground before
they were finally put to death with
bullets. Part of their clothing had
been removed before the ride of death
began and the flesh of both of the men
was torn from their bodies. Their
faces were so badly lacerated that
Identification was difficult.
The call to arms has been flashed
to every American along the border.
The Texans are doing everything pos
sible to aid the American troops In
their hunt for the bandits who have
been terrorizing Cameron county, but
Independent posses are also searching
for the Mexican murderers. Short
shrift will be given to any captured.

H|NDENBuRC THANKS
HANOVER FOR HON0RS

BERLIN, Sept 3.-Hanover, like
many other German municipalities,
has bestowed the freedom of the city
upon Field Marshal Won Hindenburg.
In reply to the telegram notifying him
of this honor, the famous army leader
sent letter to Mayor Tramm, in
which he said:
'The confidence placed in me by the
German people touches me more than
/ can express l can only state that
/ have done nothing but my duty
The thanks for my successes are not
due to me but the guidance of the Al
mighty, to the emperor, who placed
me in command, to my brilliant chief
of staff, General Ludendorff and to
the wonderful bravery and persisten-
cy Of my troops. What have done
myself amounts to very little.
my thoughts are often with my
friends in Hanover and sadness fills
my heart when l consider how many
of those that have been dear to me
will be missing on my return. But
we must go ahead, no matter how
great our sacrifices may be. Whether
the good end comes a few months
earlier or later is of no Importance in
this gigantic struggle"

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-The state
department is having difficulty in
reaching an understanding with Great
Britain as to what cargoes are to be
let through to this country in connec-
ton with concessions recently an
rnounced unofficially.
Page, in London, has been asked to
instruct the foreign office to inform
this government exactly how to pro-
coed to release cargoes that are held
up in British ports. He has been re-
quested to make it plain that this
government can not take any official
