Good afternoon" said the elabor- ate1y dressed woman as she walked into the office of the head of the pri- vate school. her son accompanying her. T came to gee about entering George in your school, MT. Phippsi" We have not a single vacancy just now" said the polite gentleman at the desk.
 You haven't?" cried his caller, sit

 George is terribly individuali The whole trouble has been that | his teachers haven't recognized that | fact. They have treated him as though he were exactly like the ordinary run | of children and made no allowance for | his Sensitiveness and his wonderful l imagination I think those qualities | should be cultivated, don't you, MT. | Phipps?

After 33 years of unavaIling ef- fort to improve that which was funda- mentally bad Liverpool finally decided that the only hope lay in wiping out It's insanitary areas It demolished the old houses by the acre and in place of them built new houses Where dwellings have been crowded so close together that there was scarcly pass age room for a stout man to squeeze his way to one of the old read houses. 1t bnilt new dwellings opening upon wide spaces which provided light and air. Immediately sickness and death decreased-and with them vice and crime. What had seemed a hopeless struggle for more than a generation was won-
 Other cities in Europe have done the same and with the same resuitss but what makes Liverpoors figures of un- usual value IS that the new houses are occupied by the same people who oc- cupied the old ones. In some cases the population on a given area in the new dwellings is go per cent the same as that which lived on the area in the old buildings.

TIE MASSACHUSETTS, PRIMARY.

As certain as was the recent con- test in the New Hampshire primary, where one candidate who had long and loudly proclaimed his determina- ton to support Theodore Roosevelt for the republican nomination for president in the Chicago convention. is the outcome in the Massachusetts primary, that the former president is not the choice of the united republi- can party. Tn both instances have the candidates who favored him been defeated.
 Tn Massachusetts the effort was carried on with determination to se- cure delegates who were pledged to his support. Elaborate preparations were made and a stiff fight followed up to the very last minute but there can be no question from the verdict that has been rendered how the peo- pie stand. They are not convinced that there is only one man in the country who can safely guide the destinies of the party. The result of the votes cast, even though the num- Der who appeared at the polls was small, shows that the majority believe
 that some other candidate Is prefer able, that someone else will better represent the interests of the party and the welfare of the country. In Massachusetts 1t is also a sig nificant fact that Governor Mccall received the largest vote of any can-
 didate for the republican delegation

SIR RoGER BASEMENT

What will be the fate of Sir Roger Easement is likely to be revealed with in a short time. Such matters are not subject to very lengthy delays in Great Britain and especially when treason is involved.
 The revolt which broke out in Dub lin has all the appearances of being connected with the effort of Easement to land German arms on the Irish coast, though the rebellion could hardly have been dependent upon the success of any such expedition. Case ment, however, has shown his disloy- alty to England in no unmistakable terms. He has given vent to the feel ing which has been pent up in nIm for a long time. He was willing to accept all the honors and a good living at the hands of the British but his love for country was the treacherous kind which only waits for a chance to stab a friend in the back.
 The plea has been offered in Case ment's behalf that he is suffering from q disordered mind, his acts and state ments in the past being advanced as the ground for such belief, but ii there was nothing else the manner 1T which he has put faith into this ex- petition to Ireland which has ended In such a failure either shows his des- peration or his poor judgment.
 Yet such claim upon the part o1 his former associates and friends cannot serve to prevent the imposition of the penalty. It may serve to pre-. vent the death penalty and while hs may escape being shot in the tower of London it is more than probable that he will spend the remainder o, his days behind prison walls. Case ment has sold himself very cheaply and it iss not possible for him to gaiI 'Sy widespread sympathy.

It is ten years since the big earth quake. followed quickly by fire. visited San Francisco. The combined effect was to destroy the principal business section and a large part of the resi- dential district of the city, the total loss being estimated in round num- bers at $2OO. ,O00. while many in- habitants perished in the calamity. But San Francisco itself could not be destroyed. Ten years ago today the city of the Golden Gate was in the midst of the confagration which wrought frightful havoc. Today San Francisco is rebuilt. more attractively and substantially than before. and is enjoying prosperity unequalled in her previous history. And last year she financed and managed to a most sue cessful conclusion an exposition which made all the world wonder. And the story of San Franscisco is just another illustration of the true American spirit New Britain Record.

This is an event always looked forward to with keen anticipation by the epi- cure, for he knows that there Is noth- ing any finer than the silver fish from our great river. Of course the back ward spring and the other unnatural conditions may seriously affect the fish and he may not amount to much this year. The pollution of the river has been responsible for the reduction of the number of fish, and until there is something done to relieve the condi-
 ton the shad run is going to continue to dwindle. If precautions are not
 taken soon we believe that in a few years shad in the Connecticut will be as scarce as the turgeon.-Merider | Journal.

NOT PLACING GEORGE

T suppose you have heard of the Richman school? Well, was com pelled to remove George from that school, too, simply because of their ize that if I liked it all my friends would be apt to send their boys there, too! I simply cannot see how the R1chman school can exist, run as 1t is! They kept George after hours, week in and week out and deprived him of his dancing school and his roller skating. And when I protested they said he did not get his lessons. With me asking him every night, George, darling. have you your study ing doneT And he always said, Yes, mamma, just as pleasant and quick!
 Something was decidedly wrong with their system and I told them So in my final interview. I said if 1t was the last school on earth my son should not attend it! I am resolved to put where the teachers will use sense and discretion and realize his individuality and encourage it instead of suppress ing it! I want to bring out the best in him. T.

The Courant referred the other day to the peculiarities of referendum votes and noted that the proposed constitution of 1902 was opposed be- cause it contained a provision requir- ing an affirmative vote of a majority of the registered voters to hold anoth- CT convention. There was another loud opposition outcry, and that was be- cause the new scheme provided for a slight increase in the salaries of legis- lators. That was repugnant to many. Behold, here comes 1916, and a consti- tutional amendment is passed which specifically provides for an increase of payments to legislators.

The Ford joke Is a very serious matter. This is one phase of it. It can't be laughed at. It is not alarming, except to those who will worry because he says that: q shall not finance any third party-not with one cent" He will change his mind perhaps. It is easy to convince a man that it is nec- essary to sacrifice modest personal scruples for the sake of a cause. It will take money, and he is the man to spend 1t when interested. He is talk ing with the man who can make autos go with water and a green chemical. But it takes real gasoline and more than a cents worth of it, to make a third party.-Washingt American.
