What the Other Fellows Say

It is better to overestimate than to underestimate an enemy. The presi. dent probably needs no mentor to tell him this.-Ansonia Sentinel.
 "We have been talking only about 100,O years," said an after. dinner speaker in New York the other night. We have listened to few post -prandial performers who, it seemed, had ex- ceeded that record. Hartford Post.
 With gasoline shooting upward many an inflated auto owner is mighty sorry the blamed car won't go on a feed of oats.-Torrington Register.
 Henry Ford says he regards his pres. idential candidacy as a joke. That makes it unanimous. Bristol Press.
 Anyhow, this kind of weather gives more time to study the seed catalogues with intelligence.-Pittsfield Eagle.
 Bridgeport, because of the sudden and extensive additions of population, mostly of the "male persuasion, faces famine of femininity. Everywhere one finds the same condition. In the crowds on the streets, in the stores, on the trolley cars and in the theaters, the preponderance of men is marked. Row after row in the theaters contains two or three women; the remainder are men. Time was when Bridgeport was somewhat otherwise constituted. The weaker" sex was stronger-in mum. Standard.
 The barbers' union petitions for legislation into the conditions sur- rounding dai1ies. Perhaps there will be fewer hairs in the butter after this investigation. n.-Hartford Courant
 Socialist leaders predict that if Presi. dent Wilson is renominated this year by the Democrats, and anyone but Roosevelt by the Republicans that the Socialists will poll at least million and 8 half of votes in November, as compared with 900, ,O0O in 1919. Some of them even hope to carry Oklahoma and to elect at least twenty Congress. men.-Bridgeport Post.
 On her run down the s. s. Guiana was held up for several hours in order that she might pass Mt. Pelee by day. light, thereby, as the New York Times solemnly explains, making it possible for the colonel to obtain better view of "the rival volcano. ''-Hartford Post.
 In an Old Nursery. A prim old room where memories stir, Through faded chintz and wallpaper, Like bees along the lavender
 Of some dim border; Bay-windowed, whence at close of day You see the roasting starlings sway, High on the elm-tree's topmost spray
 In gossip order.
 Its walls are full of music's charm From twitterings in the caves at dawn, From swish of scythes on summer lawn,
 From Shetlands paving The gravel by the front.door yew, And, wind tossed from the avenue, Fugues of first February blue
 And rocks a-cawing. Old room, the years have galloped on, The days have dimmed, the hours that
 shone
 Have turned their backs on you, and
 gone
 The ways that harden; But you-in you their gold and myrrh And frankincense of dreams still stir, Like bees that haunt the lavender
 Of some walled garden.

lieve Theodore Roosevelt is the man
the country needs" Judge Kibbey told
a Richmond friend.
Opposes Wilson's Policy.
He said the people in the border
states regarded President Wilson's
Mexican policy very i'll advised, weak
and vacillating. Judge kibbey said
it would be a mistake for the United
States to annex Mexico, but vigor-
ously declared it was necessary for
the United States to intervene in the
anarchy-ridden country and to occupy
it with its military forces until stable
government had been established. He
pointed out that such a policy had
worked out satisfactorily in Cuba and
was now being applied to Hayti and
Nicaragua.
He said that the American govern
ment should have supported Huerta,
who was the strongest character in
Mexico, He said the strongest and
ablest man in Mexico today is Gen
eral Obregon, who for the past week
has been in conference with General
Scott, the American chief of staff.

1t is moderate estimate of Mr.
Nicholson's S work and influence to say
that for SO years he has been, in all
