WHY WE MUST PREPARE.

Tcday through the streets of Hart ford, the capital city of Connecticut, there will march some twenty thou sand men and women in a great pre- Iaredness parade. While groups of their brother men and sister women stand along the line of march and applaud, these patriotic souls will carry the Stars and Stripes, the flag of their country, in plea for the na- ton to arouse itself from a state of lethargy and make ready for the day when a foeman's foot might step on cur shore. Yet, in the main, this mons not in the sense that it would

Luxurious life. (Olnaha Boe.)
conjunction

Moralists and economists aiko chide us for our tendencies to tho luxurious life. charging much oG existing vice to this cause. Arcri- cans of the present do spend their lives in the presence Of such maG;,i~ ficence as Solomon in all his glory never dreamed of. Our humblest home has in it corvenienCcs and com- forts the last generation might have imagined, but never enjoyed. All our way through life is padded by trl- umphs of mans ingenuity, and ali conditions urge us on to more and more of pleasure. We q cnot work as long hours as VIC did once. for we now have the advantage of thoseN who prepared the way for us, and our material prosperity comes easily. Ma turaIly, we want it all, but, equally. in accord with a rule of nature, some have more than others. Out of this condition grows discomfort, thriving on envy. Philosophers tell us the real reward of life does not consist in worldly wealth. If that is your standard of measurement it is read ily obtained. One rule only is to be observed-consume less than you create. and the hoarded surplus be- comes your wealth.

The Retreating Dinner Hour.
(New York Tribune.)

Just why the hour of more or less fashionable dinner-as disting- ulShed from plain, old fashioned American Supper-shOuld have inched on to the late point where now it rests IS one Of the all too frequent un- solvable problems in practical socio- logy. A generation ago it was any, Where from to '. Now it is nearer shan /, with the later hour as the one really right moment, we have been given to understand.
 To very considerable extent the whole programme of the day has been moved on as we'll. The lawyers and brokers of New York begin work later. lunch later, and leave later. Courts sit later. Theater and opera. are later. Of course, the great ma jority of workers are not as much af- fected; and once the large cities are left behind the old hours hold with less change. But there has been some shifting of the social clock-and in the direction of daylight wasting all along the line.
 England has been a parallel change. The Georgian dinner hour was from to 6. Theaters opened at in Crimean days. AS late as the '70s the dinner hour at Oxford was before 6 in all the colleges. Today the schedule of fashionable London is later even than ours, and critics of the resurrected dayIight-saving plan are pointing to this voluntary shift to prove how little clocks have to do with regulating human habits
 For better or for worse, the larks who delight to arise with the sun seem to be losing ground before the owls whose eyes are brightest after dark. Is that simply the general way of much civilization? Or is it the eff feet of successfully perverting night time into daytime with electric light? Or is it simply the general cussed- ness of human nature? The daylight savers have yet to answer.

T0u1n Topics

It seems that wave of automobile accidents and fatalities is sweeping over the country and Connecticut, in
 cluding our own city of New Britain,
 is having her share. Already this
 spring three New Britain children
 have met their death beneath the
 wheels of automobiles and fully a
 score of automobile accidents, more
 or less serious, have. been reported to
 the authorities As far as the court
 can go, Judge James T. Meskill is en-
 deaVoring to protect the public by in .f1ctlng extreme penalties on reckless
 or careless drivers and where it is
 proved that an automobile driver is
 recklesSly dlSre&arding the safety of
 others or is attempting to operate
 motor vehicle when under the int1u-
 ence of liquor severe punishment
 should be administered. There are, unfortunately, some automobile driV- CTS who are reckless and careless but the vast majority of automobiles are careful operators, yet they must suf- for at the altar of public opinion for the faults of their mad brethren. In this city Stanley street, between Ibelle's corner and Shepard's hill, is used as a veritable speedway by scores of automObilists as is West Main street, particularly west of the Black Rock bridge. On Sunday or holiday autoists speed continuously along these thoroughfares and in
 many instances life and limb is en- dangered. The police department should detail couple of plain clothes men to watch these streets ! on different occasions and make some i arrests. After an example has been 1 made of some speed fennds possibly those inclined to "speed her Up a bit" i will be more thoughtful.
 Residents of Stanley Quarter are 1 particularly. indignant over some of 1 the autOmObilists who speed past 1 thelr homes. They complain that i some autOists, on striking the smooth 1 concrete pavement throw open the throttle and let their machine hum along at a breckneck speed. On this street, which is rapidly becoming thickly settled there is every chance for serious accident Little children at play are liable to rush into the street, the school house is another
 source Of danger and many mOtoris do not heed the 300 feet warning sign
 placed there. They claim that the mounted policeman comes out their way once a day, and turns around and returns. They would request that more judgment be used to determine
 his visits and on Sunday afternoons or ! holidays they feel he should take a spin out there when traffic is heaviest. But on the other hand the poor au- ! tOmobilist has not got everything in his favor If arrested, whether he is really guilty of reckless driving or not, witnesses will flock to testify that

GAMBLING IN POLITICS

Frank H. Hitchcock, former Post master General of the United States, is looked upon by those who know him and his activities in the light of what is sometimes described as "an astute politician" Tall, athletic, and red of | hair, Hitchcock has always been full
 of vim and dash and carried with
 him the salient attributes of the
 gambler. He was always willing to
 take chance. Therefore, when he
 put in his appear rance at Chicago and
 someone noised it about that he car
 rled with him credentials naming
 hlm as manager of the Hughes boom,
 there was a quick furry in the camp
 of the Old Guard Assembling the
 leaders of the Republican party in
 one of the hotels convenient to the
 heart of Chicago the gallant Hitchcock is purpOrted to have told the old lin
 CTS just what was his mission in the
 convention city. Further than that, he intimated that Justice Hughes was willing and ready to accept the nom ination if rendered to him and that if one Frank H. Hitchcock was to be the whole show in dispensing with the patronage, providing, of course
 Hughes defeated Wilson in the final stretch of the race This assumption on the part of Hitchcock got the gentlemen of the Old Guard exceed ingly "riled." It looked as if young Frank of the Titan locks was out to l dictate terms, to make the delegates from so many states jump through his fingers.
 So great a war was waged on Hitch cock and so great was the feeling against Justice Hughes that those who saw the situation wondered what was in the air, what the game might be- In instant, there was rally around the Roosevelt camp. Even those who heartily opposed the Colonel preferred to back him in preference to getting a man like Hughes who had seeming ly left all the patronage in the hands of a man like Hitchcock For, it has cock is to dictate terms in the event of Hughes winning out in the prestden- tial race, where do we get off? Mean ing, of course those who naturally op- pose Hitchcock. So the consternation ran. It left Chicago on the midnight, reached New York and Washington and stopped off in many other places. The story was discrediting to the | Hughes boom. Report had it that l the Justice himself was exceedingly | worried and was on the point of send | ing Hitchcock a telegram and de- | nouncing his activities. There was also 1 rumor abroad to the effect that the l wiry Frank H. was called to the long, distant telephone and there made to 1 listen-in on One-sided conversation | not very complimentary. At any rate. | the atmosphere is now considerably cleared and through the ministrations of MT. Hitchcock who has come out with a complete denial that he ever held any credentials which authorized him to speak for Justice Hughes. Fur ther, he denies that he even assumed to do so in any sense of the word What
 he did assume was that no man would
 decline nomination to the presiden-
 cy if rendered to him by a reputa ble
 political party. Therein he shows
 again the traits of the gambler. He
 is always willing to take a chance on
 a sure thing.

Within the next week, probably, the civil service board will meet to exam inc regular patrolmen who are candi- dates for promotion to the recently created office of street sergeant. Such candidates do not have to pass the rigid physical test of those seeking regular appointment, but their men, tai test will be more stringent. Head quarters gossip credits ten or a doz- en regular officers with seeking ad- vancement and they are said to be William c. Hart, A. c. Malone, A. J. Richardson, Theodore Johnson, Will
 liam OMara, William Murphy Frank Moore. Charles Johnson, Herbert Lyon John Carlson, Alfred l.. AtWa- ter. William McCue and possibly one or two others
 There does not seem to be any pos sible question but what each of the candidates will pass the examinations satisfactorily so it will simply be a vote getting contest in which the safety commission will be the last word General opinion seems to be that Officer Hart will receive the ap- pointment unless something unfOr- seen occurs in the meantime. It will be remembered that a couple of years ago when Sergeants Bamforth and Kelly were appointed, among the can didates at that time were Officers Hart, Malone and COsgrOVe. At that time Officer Hart gave Sergeant Kelly close rub. Concerning the present promotion however, it is said on good auth ority that several of the officers seeking promotion have been pri- vatelv advised that there is no use for them to work for the advancement as it is fOregOne conclusion that Officer Hart is the man who will be named, civil service notwithstanding It is said that this officer has been working for several months to secure his promotion and that after the civiY service tests have been passed it will he influence, as of old, that will se- .c71re the appointment. All of which is not to be taken as any boost or criticism of Officer Hart, who has proved himself to be an energetic and
