Wreaths and Trousers.

How near tragedy and comedy are
in the happenings along the battle line
is shown by this incident of the fight
ing on the ISOnzo river front, which a
Vienna correspondent of the New
York Sun tells
A Caproni fighting aeroplane that
had gone up from the Italian side was
hit by the antiaircraft guns and fell
within the Austrian lines. The pilot
was killed, the observer was somewhat
scratched, but otherwise unhurt. His
trousers, however, were ripped from
A to H."
Captain Ameglano, the captured
flyer, was inconsolable, and to an Aus
trian officer who sympathlzed with
him he said:
"My poor comrade will be buried and
| cannot even pay him my last re.
spects-not in this gear"
"If that Is ALL" remarked the Aus.
trian, even soon mend that" And
after obtaining permission, he went
M in his FOkker machine and threw
a letter into the Italian line, acquaint.
ing them with the fact, and requesting
"a pair Of new trousers for Captain
Amegllano."
Sure enough, an hour or so later
there was an Italian machine high il
the air, and package dropped that
contained laurel wreath for the dead
and pair OF trousers for the living.

a teacher of Americanism to millions of immigrants who are for a time largely dependent upon it for such in struction.
 The German print press is most crit icised with most reason. No one can quarrel with it for favoring the Ger man cause against the entente. When it takes the German side of contro- versies with the United States, it be- comes wedge of dis-union. But in this attitude it is by no means unit. Some of the strongest German print newspapers make it clear that they are for America first. More would do so if a break were imminent
 The anti-American press, other than German. is almost negligible. Turkish and Bulgarian champions are few. Most of our people from Austria Hun gary are bitter haters of the land they left and not likely to palliate subma- rine atrocities
 This analysis of the situation should clear the air. Honorable men who have sworn allegiance to the United States are justly aggrieved when a blanket indictment of disloyalty is drawn against them. Let individuals answer for tn cir own deeds.

Who Owns Connecticut?
(BristOl Press.

A curious spectacle is presented as We enter the 1916 political campaleh period of a half dozen or so men presuming to dictate to the rest or us who live and vote within the confines of Connecticut as to whom We may and must accept as our can didate for governor. The grotesque- ness of the situation is not relieved by the fact that the dictate have made the game work in the past. The puzzling thing is why the: people should stand for it. By so doing they tacitly admit their incompetence to select for themselves. There are hun dreds of men in Connecticut today who are abundantly qualified to fill the office of governor. in a manner far superior to those who have held the office in the past recent years. It is supposed to be the business of delegates to select suitable candi date in the state convention. However, in these days of Rorabackism and bossism under various names, that sort of sensible action has become a fiction. Do the people of Connecticut really want an able and independent governor? If so, it is up to them to do their own thinking and above all their own selecting. Simply rubber stamping the dictates and wishes of a boss is a mighty poor apology for citizenship.

Cheap at the rrtcc.
{ Bridgeport Farmer.) )

The St. Louis Times complains that the Interstate Commerce commission costs the people of the United States in 1915, more than four and a half millions, and says it will cost in 1916 five millions. It would withdraw the appropriation or cut it to a neg ligible quantity, alleging a number of reasons, the chief of which is that 41,OO0 miles of American railroads are in the hands of receivers
 The reason isn't good one Were it not for the activities of tho Inter- state Commerce commission more railroads would be in receivership There would be little or no public knowledge based upon official in quiry, as to the conditions that have produced so much receivership.
 Robbing railroads is an old indus try in the United States. It was an industry never much interfered with until the commission obtained actual power of supervision.
 At this time footing railroad ds is not half as popular an amusement as it used to be.
 When the amount saved in freight rates is set over against the cost of the commissions that cost figures small. The American people are pretty well satisfied with the Inter state Commerce commission. They are not at all satisfied with the men who run the railroads.

Wrestling With Local Option.
{ Bridgeport Post.)

New Jersey is wrestling hard with an issue which Connecticut settled thirty-fve years ago, that of local option. There is nothing new in this situation, as we have pointed out be- fore. Connecticut has ever been years ahead of all the States in real practical legislation. At the same time she has stoutly resisted fad in Nasions and is now seeing the wisdom of her course.
 On this question of local option Con- nccticut judgment early decided it's value in place of that prohibition so largely name only. Sixty years ago Connecticut tried the theory of pro- hlbtiOn. Experience demonstrated it's fallacN. The State promptly re- peaed the law and later instituted local option. We are not certain whether Connecticut was the first State to try local option. It certainly was one of the earliest.
 Now this question is the vital issue in two important States, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. When Connecticut was satisfied in two important States was satisfied of it's practical value. the law was quickly passed. It is 8 much harder proposition in the two States men toned. The last Pennsylvania Legis- lature defeated it and now a cam paign is on, conducted by the Cover nor. to secure a Legislature which will deal with it properly.
 In New Jersey the issue has been before the Legislature for many years, but as often has been defeated. Now there seems to be a chance to get it through. It has passed the State Senate but by q close vote. II to g. The difficulty will come in the House where the cities are strong and the brewer vote powerful.
 From a Connecticut standpoint the significance of it all is the strong position of our State on vital matters of this character. with special refer ence to our farsightedness and the value of a legislative system which makes such things possible.

\ War of Brutality,

This is not at all like old-tin1e British magnaninity towards 8 foe.
 But Germany can hardly complain if the theory of reprisal Is is to hold. Are non-cOm batants 70 rescuo fighting men, at possible peril to themselves in view of the fact that these very men with their aerial war craft were either from or on their way to the work of killing non-com batants of the traWler's own country, and met disas- ter on the errand of slaughter
