in restricted serise as literature. He
said that literature had largely con-
tributed towards influencing legisla-
ton, and he gave examples of that
influence in particular instances, quot.
ing the works of Shakespeare, Gold
smith, Dickens, Reade, Beecher, Stowe,
Plimsoll, Norton and other literary
lights.
Judge Dodd, in commenting ON the
auditors address, referred to the influ-
ence of Virgil, Dante and Milton upon
the life of their day. Addison, at the
request of the Prime Minister of the
period, wrote a poem celebrating the
victories Of Marlborough. 1t caught
on like storm, and accordingly Addi-
son was made Chief Secretary for Ire
land.
Mr.. T. NJ. Healy, M. p, said Judge
Dodd's allusion to Addison and his ap-
pointment as Chief Secretary for Ire
land as reward for having written
a poem celebrating the victories OF
Marlborough reminded him that the
man who had been Chief Secretary
for the longest period was literary
man-Mr. Birrell-and when he con-
sidered the very great and amusing
works which Mr.. Birrell composed, he
began to ask himself what pity it was
that the late Chief Secretary never
devoted one hour of his time or any
of his great literary talent to writing
a work on Home Rule.
While the auditor was abiding to
the legislation that had been influ-
enced by English authors, it struck
him that Mr.. Mcmahon wasn't able
to cite single instance in which leg
islation applying to Ireland had been
brought about by printed matter. II
one turned to the great measures
which adorned the Statute Book of
the late years relating to Ireland, to
what literature did we owe them?
Could anybody think of any higher au-
thority for those acts of Parliament
than Captain Moonlight? And in the
Irish Parliament when it existed he
could only think of one case and that
perhaps not very good one, in which
literature affected legislation; that
was the case of Diapers Letters
against Woods Halfpence. Swift
turned his gifts to denouncing as bad
money that which was perfectly good.
One other instance in which literature
and he supposed that sermons were

islation in Ireland was when in 1890

or 1891 a sermon was delivered in
which the Treaty of Limerick was de-
nounced in such terms of eloquence
that the Penal Laws were instantly
passed. He admitted that literature
had Influenced British legislation, but
not Irish legislation, although English
men, like Byron, Shelley and DR.. john
son., took the view of Irish affairs for
which so many Irishmen had suffered
and died. In conclusion, he said that
it was not in the lowery paths of lit
erature or in the mazes of poetry that
reform was to be sought in the future.

SOLDIERS HOME EXEMPT
 FROM CIVIL SERVICE
Governor Holcomb Decides in Favor of
 Hospital Board.

Governor Ho1comb on Tuesday de- exempt from the civil service law.
 There has been trouble for some time between the soldiers hospital board, which has charge of the sol diers' home, and the civil service commission over the appointment of steward. Some time ago the board appointed Harry Lutterman of Sam ford to the position. MT. Lutterman had taken the civil service test, but stood 18th on the list and was not certified to by the commission as be- ing eligible for the position The boards experience with the work of MT. Lutterman convinced the mem- bers that he was just the man for the position and they. overlooking the 10 names submitted by the commission, appointed him. The commission ob- jected and intimated that it was not in accordance with the requirements of the statutes.
 Tuesday forenoon President Morris of the civil service board and Commis- sioner BTinsmade had 6 conference with the members of the hospital board in the governors office in the capitol. The following members of the board were present; Governor Aolcomb, AdjUtant General George M. Cole, John H. Thacher, A. B. Beers and Virgil 0IcNeilI. The position of the civil service commission was stat ed and a discussion of the situation followed. Afterwards the soldiers hospital board met and asked Governor HolComb to settle the difficulty by ex- empting the home from the operation of the law.
 The governor said that all the posi- tions at the soldiers home were ex- empted by his decision.

WHY CHANGE
 sToNINGToN CHARTER?
Borough Has All Advantages New of
 Home Rule.


 The Hartford Times says editorial Iy:
 The intention of the people living in the borough of ston1ngton to ask the general assembly for new charter directs attention to the fact that the borough is the oldest in the state and that it has continued to thrive and live under its original charter which was granted in 1901. The charter has remained almost un- changed since. The fact is a tribute to the wisdom and far -sightedness of the men who drafted the document For fifteen years after it was founded Stontngton was the only borough in the state. It stood for those years as a proof of the benefits of borough three boroughs in Connecticut. There were twenty-four until last year when under an act of the general assembly, the borough of Shelton was superseded by the city of Shelton.
 It Is not easy to see a reason why the people of the borough of Ston- lngton should come to the legislature for a change in their venerable char ter. Under the home rule bill of the last session every local community of the state has the right to amend It's own charter in such a way as to
 
 of home rule. There is a certain procedure to be observed but this procedure does not thwart the will of the people. It merely causes Q delay that secures time for the ma ture consideration of every propo- that the ancient instrument which constitutes the fundamental law of the borough is held in such respect that there is an unwillingness on the part of the people themselves to change it, and that they prefer to leave the unpleasant work of altera- ton to the general assembly?
 Of course the home rule act of 1915 is merely an enactment of the gen eraI assembly, and it Is within the rights of the legislators of any other session to pass any law that will nul- lify it specifically or in a general way. The enactments of one session are not binding on the legislators of any sue ceeding session. But there has been the hope that the home rule law of 1915 would be given a fair trial. It will not have this trial if individual communities come before the general assembly and obtain changes to their charters, by special acts, which could just as wei have been made by the vote of the people themselves. The home rule bill appealed to the judg ment of the legislature because it re- moved a source of legislative work which consumed time that could be ENetter occupied The limit which the state constitution places on the dura- tion of a session makes it necessary that no time shall be lost in legislating for the general interests of the state. This necessity has accentuated. the be- lief that it is the part of wisdom to leave to local communities the duty Strengthening out their own affairs. The general assembly should not be clearing house for local troubles.
