AVIATION DEVELOPMENT.

This country has given an order for
20 Of the 15-ton air cruisers for the
purpose Of augmenting the aviation
branch Of the national defense and in
doing SO 1t is taking only such steps
as many Of the other larger nations
are doing.
This. however, calls attention to the
great strides which are being made in
the building of air ships. 1t was only
a few years ago that it was impossi-
BILE to get a machine of this kind
which could be navigated in the air,
but persistent effort has resulted in
those who have looked upon such an
accomplishment as dream being
forced to admit that success has been
attained, and the progress that is con-
stant1y being made in building heav-

DESERVING DEMOCRATS.

When Secretary McAdoo made pub
lie the telegram he received from a
state senator in Massachusetts de-
handing a promotion or an increase
in pay, which would be equivalent to
that received in the higher position,
for his brother who is holding a po-
litical job under the control of the
treasury department, with the threat
that his action would govern the con-
duct of the state senator as a dele
gate to the democratic national con-
Vention, and the reply which he made
to it, he took the bull by the horns
just as the situation required
There was no other course to take
but to administer the reDrimand and
show his contempt in the manner
which he did by giving publicity to
the whole affair." and by his action in
telling his correspondent that his re-
quest was in the nature of a bribe
and that he would not prostitute the
public service in any such manner, he
has prevented the possibility of its be.
ing brought up to bother him at
some later time.
Senator Green of Massachusetts
has shown where he stands as a dele
gate to any convention or as a repre-
sentative OF the people. He has in
dicated how cheaply he is willing to
sell himself and while he cannot be
considered to be alone in his posi-
ton, he has shown that he has a price
and it is low one. However much
he may have looked upon himself and
his brother as deserving democrats
in the past, he has nevertheless not
only given Secretary McAdoo but his
constituents one of the best bits OF
evidence of his unf1tness for public
office, the effects Of which are not
likely to be easily shaken off.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The New Haven Railroad,

Mr.. Editor, Dear Sir-In looking
over the news Of the country It seems
the New Haven Railroad is assailed
from every quarter.
The Interstate Commission seems to
be doing all II can to injure this CORP
oraticn. II VIII not allow this railroad
company to increase its freight rates
or ticket rates to meet the increased
cost in running the road.
The government seems to be doing
all it can to break up and destroy this
railroad company. 1t has Just been
carrying on a SIT which it iost-cost-
ing the railOad camEany nearly or
quite half a million dollars TO defend
with the prospect Of another trial soon.
In reading the results OF this trial il
would look more like spite than q
legitimate suit.
Great efforts are being made TO
take tho sound line Of steamers away
from this company. II will be large
loss to shippers and consignees II this
IS done and also make a delay in all
New York shipments.
The government IS going to try and
force the railroad company to give up
all or nearly all Of its trolley system.
II this is done and forced sale OF
those trolley roads made 1t will be
nlEions. Of dollars lost to the railroad
company. This railroad company has
done more to make New England what
il is today than any other corporation
in New England. II seems TO be one
Of the prime movements TO inJure this
railroad company because IL is a New
England industry. From governments,
states, dties and nearly everywhere
there is a desire to injure II.
To show how this works IN the town
of Plainfeld, a few years ago the
railroad company bought six acres of
land for additional tracks. This pro-
perty was assessed for less than SIS
per acre to the original owner, as soon
as this was bought by the railroad
company the assessors put the value
up to $500 an acre in the assessment
list Of the town. Another case is in
Killingly where the railroad company
bought a parcel of land to enlarge
their yards in DanielsOn. This land
was assessed to the original owner for
company bought it the assessment was
raised TO over $4,000 or nearly double
what il was assessed to the man who
/ sold II to the railroad company.
This increases the tax the railroad
/ must pay from sos to $50 per year
more that the man from whom the
railroad company bought it.
The Business Mems Association OF
Dnielson have or expect to give How
ard Elliott, president Of the railroad
company a call TO come here and ad-
| dress the people Of Danielson.
| If Mir. Elliott sees how his company
/ is treated in this assessment il does
not look like visit from this man.

It is significant that while the
country IS talking preparedness, Yale
is acting preparedness. With these
words Major c. p. SGmmerall, Chief Of
the Field Artillery in the Division OF
Militia Affairs at Washington, in a
Letter written upon his arrival in Wash
inSton after a hurried inspection OF the
battery last week. In reference to the
governments plans for the summer
work of the battalion Major Summer
all stated that the batteries will be
graded upon their performances both
at home and at the camp. The names
of qualified officers and gunners and
the ratings Of the Sc batteries of the
organized militia will be published at
the end Of the encampment period
and there are evidences Of a keen riv-
airy among them. The war depart
ment has issued for the Yale batteries
equipment worth nearly $400. 600. It
has detailed not only one of the most
accomplished artillerists but one of
the most expert horsemen in the ser
vice to direct the training. In order
to intensity the training for the sum-
mer camp, measures have been adop-
ted to send an officer and several nom
commissioned officers from West Point
TO assist temporarily with the individ-
ual instruction in practical gunnery.
The plans for the armory to be con-
structed by the alumni show that Il
will be adequate for mounted and dis
mounted training and for sub-caliber
and pistol practice. The Federal al
ltments win be ample to supply horses
for one complete battery and it is ex-
pected that the number already fur
niShed will be substantially increased
as son as stable accommodations can
be provided. This will afford superior
opportunities instruction in equita ton
and in the mounted maneuvers and ex-
! ercises Of the batteries.

as to make it more satisfactory than

done we will be in position to provide
