We had such q strenuous time in Washington, ID. c., last SUM
mer. The traps were worse than submarines The Gospel Mis-
sion at the suggestion of the Housekeepers' Alliance gave work to
the unemployed making fly traps. One Of the leading newspapers
bought se~venty-fve of them and gave them to the city. The
Health Officer gave orders to have them properly baited and cared
for at the fish wharves, city markets, fire stations, etc. They
trapped and destroyed us by the thousand!
By next summerI suppose we will not be safe anywhere for hav--
ing been so successful with the municipal traps at the Capitol Of
the Nation they will hear it all over the country, and even the
where we always love to be, and where we find ideal breeding
places.
We cannot live in a perfectly clean city, where there are no filth
or rubbish or any kind for us to bre d in, so we shall disappear
from the scrupulously clean cities of the future.

MEASLES.
Measles as it appears over the state this year is in many cases Of
a vifulent type. Glandular involvement is common and several
deaths have occurred. Throat complications with a pseudoemem..
brane and cervical adenitis have followed in the wake of q typical
motted eruption with accompanying coryza, sore eyes, Koplik.s
spots, etc. Physicians should handle such cases, from a public
health viewpoint at least, the same as they would scarlet fever by
making quarantine absolute. The fact that. this disease is com
lmunicable two or three days before the eruption makes it a diff
cult problem to control. However, the better plan, where it at
tacks school children is to have q physician inspect the school each
morning to watch for new cases, and that he be furnished with 9
list of absentees that such homes may be inspected to ascertain
the cause of such absence. In this manner many new cases may
be uncovered that would otherwise escape detection and be the
means Of a widespread epidemic.

Sues Because Bushe1 of Potatoes Wasn't
 Returned to Seller

The first suit to be noted in this jur- isdiction as the result of freight con gestions on the New Haven railroad prior to embargoes being placed on shipments has been filed in theA city court.
 The case in which s20o damages are asked from the railroad is brought by Henry Bushe1d, a fish dealer of 1O36 East Main street, who desired a quantity of fresh fish for his trade during the second week in December last.
 It is alleged that having caused to have delivered to the New Haven road in Boston five barrels of greenfish, he waited for them over a period of two weeks during which no deliveries were made. The fish had become lost 1 in transit. Through his attorney Charles A. Hopwood, he seeks dam

TWO HURT WHEN MACHINE SKIDS
 INTO A TROLLEY
New Haven Man Hurled Through Windshield of
 Automobile.

Skfdding on the wet pavement at Stratford and Seaview avenues short 1y before 10 o'clock this morning, an automobile driven by John Ostrosk1 of New Haven, and containing James Murphy, also of New Havens~crashed into a standing trolley car, smashing the radiator and hurling Murphy through the windshield He was se- verely 1acerated and was taken to St. Vfncent's hospital. Ostroski received slight cuts about the forehead and refused to leave the machine.
 Ostroski and Murphy, on their way from New Haven to South Norwalk, were just about to make the turn at the corner when the wheels skid ded. Before Ostroski could swerve the steering wheel to avoid striking the car, the machine had crashed into the trolley,
 The emergency ambulance corps was summoned and pr. Powers found that Murphy had suffered decorations of his nose and face, severe decorations of the ring finger of the left hand and simply cut about the forehead.
 At the time of the accident, the troll ley, which was about to turn into Seaview avenue, was standing at the switch. Report of the accident was not made to the second precinct police station until a short while after it oc- cured and the names of the witnesses had not been procured. Ostroski and Murphy took the blame of the accl- dent upon themselves.

 The Monroe doctrine is reasserted as a principle of Democratic faith. That declaration guarantees the inde- pendent republics of the two Americas against aggression from another con- t1nent. It implies, as well as the most scr1up1ous regard upon our part for the sovereignty of each of them. The want of a stable, responsible govern ment in Mexico, capable of repressing and pun1shing marauders and bandit bands, who have not only taken the | lives and destroyed the property of American citizens in that country but have inso1ently invaded our soil, made raid upon and murdered the people, | thereon, has rendered it necessary | temporarily to occupy, by our armed force, a portion of the territory Of that friendly state. Until, by the res l toraton of law and order therein a. | repetition of such incursions is inn probable, the necessity for their re- maining will continue. Intervention, implying as it does military subjuga- tion. is revolting to the people of the United States, notwithstanding the

tendent, his only chance is to
go to a new county, get acquaint-
ed with everyone in it and run
for office, or wait till the super
intendent in his county dies.
Here is another county in
which the office is vacant. In a
case like that, your church does
not confine itself to the parish;
your creamery does not confne
itself to local talent in choosing
a manager; the city school dis
trlct looks around anywhere for
the best man. But the county
is confined to the people who
happen to live there.
How to choose the county SUI
perintendent! Well, there is al
ready the annual meeting Of
school officers. Why can't they
do it? Or rather choose an exc
cutive committee to choose
That is substantially what

ommends-that the school off

cumbents, of course to remain

COUNTY BOARD. EFFECT ON
SCHOOL POLITY.

Your creamery has a board of
directors and a manager. Your
church has a board of trustees
and a pastor. Every corpora
tion has a governing body and
an executive officer.
But the county superintend-
ent works alone.
He reports to nobdy, except
On certain routine matters. He
is accountable to nobody, for
the voters know only in the
most general way whether he Is
hustling every minute or asleep
at his desk. He has nobody to
go to in difficulties.
If the school officers of the
county through a county board
of education choose the super
intendent, as recommended by
the rural school committee, it
will give these advantages.
First it takes the Office out
of the political scramble. Next
it broadens the field, giving the
county an opportunity to look
around for the best man. And
chiefly it gives the superintend-
ent somebody to work with.
1t will bring the superintend-
ent closer to the schools, MAX
ing him directly responsible to
the county board Of education,
which will be sort of executive
committee for the officers of the
districts. It will give the pro-
gressive superintendent back
ing. When he sees an opportun-
ity to do something, he can
sooner convince a board of half
a dozen men than persuade a
whole county.
It will sustain the superin-
tendent in his rights. Every man
who is trying to do his duty
comes at times into conflict with
people who don't see it his way.

OQ.
Twice a constitutional amend
ment. providing for educational
qualifications, has received a fa-
vorable vote, though not enough
to carry. The state educational
association, the association of
county superintendents, the
state superintendent, the educa-
tion commission and the rural
school committee have over and
over recommended some better
way of choosing the county su-
perintendent.
The rural school committee
recommends a county board of
education to choose the super
intendent-not to interfere in
any way with the local districts,
but only to deal with those edu-
cational matters which are now
under the county's jurisdiction.
One advantage is that it will
widen the field both for the
county and for the candidate.
