WHAT OTHERS SAY
Views on all sides of timely questions as discussed in ex- changes that come to tho Herald Office.
Opportunity for Statesmen.
(HartfOrd Post. )

| If the great mass of progressive party members in Connecticut who ! scorn the idea of returning abjectly to l the party which they left for con- l scientious reasons, are in earnest in l their protestations of independence | they have before them a great oppor- ] tunity if they care to seize it. The opportunity is ripe for progress 1 sive-demo ocratic fusion in the state | campaign. The progressives who never boiled more than 30,0OO votes in the high tide of their party, can have no hope of carrying the state in Novem- Der, even though they should name a state ticket Many of them are calling for state ticket, however, as a means of ridding Connecticut of the domina- tion of the Roraback machine. The presence of a third ticket in | the held would, of course, assist to that end, but if a third ticket should suc- ceed in it's purpose it would merely have the effect of putting into office the candidates of the dem ocratic party in whose selection and in the building or whose platform the progressive party has no voice. If the progressiVe e party is satisfied with destroying the power of the Rorabacl1 machine for
 
 course, be satisfactory, but there is no reason why the progressive party should not become constructive as we'll as a destructive force.
 The progressives of Connecticut and the democrats of Connecticut are not far apart on state issues. The demo- crats are not likely to declare for anything in their platform which the progressives do not fully endorse and there are few things which the po- gressives are insistent upon as reform measures which the democratic plat form will not carry.
 The democratic party in making it's nominations for office will beyond any question endeaVor to select men who will command the respect and conf- dence of all Connecticut citizens-such men as will easily be recognized as representing the antithesis of Rora- back machine domination.
 Here are two political parties in Connecticut who typ1fy protest against the kind of government that lessens respect for Connecticut in other states. By pursuing independent courses these two parties unquestionably can drive Roraback out of power for two years at least. By combining they could make that retirement permanent. It is not necessary that the progressive @ party should lose it's separate identity. It can maintain itself as a political en- tity and by working with the demo- cratic party select the sort of candi- dates and the kind of a platform on which both can agree and which will command the respect of all voters who object to Rorabackized common wealth.

A New Continent. (Kansas City Star.)

The news that the Australians are building two thousand miles of rail- road to open up the interior of their country doesn't even interest the av- craze American.
 Well, what of it 2" he Is apt to say.
 Nine in every ten Americans know almost nothing about Australia and care less. But the Australians hope to make us take more interest in them as their export trade develops. It is for the development of this trade as we'll as for the general opening up of the country that they are building two thousand miles of railway through a desert.
 Few of us realize what a mighty continent Australia is, that it is bigger than the United States; that 1t is far ther from east to west across the con- tinent than from New York to San Francisco, and farther from north to south than from Duluth to New Or leans.
 *'But," you say, after looking at a map, "it Is only settled around the coasts; across the whole interior is printed '"The Great Victoria Desert "
 Yes, and there was a time, within across the interior of America, where Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado and Ne braska are now, were printed the words, '"The Great American Desert" The railroads proved the American desert to be no desert at all, but pro- ductive country.

Getting About What He Deserves Too!
 (COllier's Weekly.)

Nestling in a newspaper corner next to the Panama-hat ads we find this stray sunbeam of a heart throb:
 The first face the baby sees in this world is full of kindness, and the last to bend over him when he is old and dying Is full of pitying tenderness. 1t is the faces he sees in between that cause him all his trouble.
 This Is a dear sweet thought, but 1t strikes us that the "in between' faces are looking at him and very likely refecting back to him just about what they see. Quite often 1t Is not either kindness or tenderness, for, taking 1t by and large, this IS a fairly just world.

The U. S. Army Hat.
(NeW York Herald.)

The why and wherefore of the campaign hat, also known as the service hat, with which the United States army Boy Scouts and other military organizations are equipped IS demanded by David Gardiner in letter published in the Herald recent ly MT. Gardiner holds that the nat is htdeous-'the very antithesis or smartness,'' he dubs it. Tn so far as it's aspect Is concerned, MT. Gardiner has some reason to make complaint, but army officers said yesterday, as it's name implies, the service hat is not for parade use, but for hard ser vice, and it has stood the test Of many years campaigning in the army.
 The hat under many forms has ex- isted since the time of the Mexican war and is related to the cOmbreros Of Mexico and of the plains. It has been kept in service for the reason that, after trying all forms of head dress, it has been shown conclusively that a felt hat with stiff brim gives the maximum of protection from the sum- wind and rain with a minimum of weight.
 Although adopted in recent years by the British colonial troops, the cam
  origin It came into use in the Brit ish service during the Boer war, when the colonial troOps-Canadians and Australians-tOol1it it over and when General Sir Baden Powell developed the Boy Scouts in England @ short time later, it became their official headgear. Hence it's present use by the Boy Scouts all over the world
 The unmilitary-if it be military means simply rtness-appearance of campaign hats prevented it's adop- ton in European armies, although it was tried out in the French service twenty years ago. It has therefore become a characteristic of the Ameri- can soldier in the field. The slouch halted blue e-shirted- troopers of the Indian wars became the slouch halted, khaki clad troopers of the Spanish American war, and later when the present olive drab uniforms were issued, the slOuch hat was retained. Every change of uniform or equip- mCnt in the army is authorized only after mature doliberation and trial by boards of officers so that the retention of the campaign hat Is full guarantee of it's value.

Big Docks Needed.
(Troy Times.)

Big ships need big docks and big space for berthage. This truth was borne in on the minds of New York officials some years ago when gigan- tic steamers were put into service be- tween their port and the old world. Some of their vessels are nearly Q thousand feet in length, and the thou sand-foot dock became a necessity Tn one or two cases provision was made by temporarily lengthening some of the piers. Now the city has completed a slip which will afford permanent accommod odations for ships of thou sand feet, and doubtless others will be provided in due time. The demands on the facilities of the port are ever- increasing, and the metropolis must be equal to the emergency if 1t would retain commercial and maritime su- premacy.

CHARITY AND THE GOVERNOR.


 In refusing to call a special session the general assembly to provide Ne enlisted for service on the Mexican prder, Governor Holcomb gives as 8s reason the great expense involved. would take a goodly sum to call the Nembers together in extra session. .here the Governor should have 8ded his argument. Instead, he Eaent on to say that the families and 8 ose dependent on the men who have 8fered their services to the nation # uld be taken care of by local or ss snizations until the regular session M the assembly. Ostensibly, His Ex- @llency had reference to charitable Hganizations.
 MIn the great call for relief that is Sing out over the country, in the ab ssing of funds to take care of those t te militia, there has never been a mote hint of charity. Until this in 8 propriate thought furthered by our n Chief Magistrate there has not Zen even the least suggestion of such t hing. Governor Holcomb is not len to committing rash acts or cling sesquipedalian verbiage; but Z this instance he has strayed from @ straight and narrow. Charity? Aver to be mentioned when patriotic z zens fulfill their obligations to the n who go to fight in defense of
 nation. Charity? Banish the ught!
 AS it Is the duty of each and every #e bodied citizen to offer his life on & altar of the nation when emer- hey demands, so 1t is the duty of s nation to care for those who might &@ left behind when brave men go sth to war. There is no war today, se; but the troops have gone to the IN der in anticipation of this event. lee the federal government has not yet made provision for those left 8 ind who may need assistance the t t place to look for relief is from 8M state In the event the state fails zS#n ns and villages and ham1ets must FIN the burden. If they fail, the in
 dual citizen must be called upon. M whatever is given is not charity.
