THE NEW BOND ISSUE.

With the announcement of the de- tails of the new loan for three billion dollars by Secretary McAdoo, which will be offered to the public October first, new attention will be directed to the matter of general participation therein by the people of this country. The last loan was decided success in every way. whether considered from the standpoint of the total subscrip- ticfpated therein. Tn that case 1t was recognized as an opportunity for every person to do his part and the response was magnificent. It showed that the country was heart, soul and pocket book behind the government in the stand which it had taken in entering the war.
 There was something for the people, that is those who are staying at home to do then in bearing the burden of preparation and there Is the same need for their financial assistance at this time. The new bonds will bear higher rate of interest than the first bonds and they will not be subject to general taxation. It will be possible to convert the first bonds so as to get this increased rate and for this new issue there will be the privilege of convert which bears a higher rate than four Der cent.
 As sound investment there Is noth- ing which can excel a government bond, and when 1t comes to & pa- triotic duty the new issue offers an opportunity which will be embraced with as much zeal and it Is believed will result in as generous response as did the first.

 MT. Editor: Spending a few days ! in your progressive city, I have ob- I served in practically all the saloons and almost nowhere else-iarse shcw- cards declaring that the State Fedora ton of Labor at it's annual convention l declared against prohibition and urg- 1 ed all workfnSmen to vote license. The purpose of this showcard is evidently to influence the workingmen of this city to oppose the pending no-license contest.
 I, too, am a manual worker printer who carries 2 union card. and wish to ask for just bit of your space that may remind the workinsmen of this city how and why the Federations state convention has taken the stand.
 I, for one-and I am but enc of many, do not propose to have my liberty of
 action in political matters influenced
 in any respect by this manifesto.
 First, let every workingman realize
 that the state organization is simply
 a "federa tion"-that is, a body of
 which the various locals in the state
 are not of necessity part. but one
 which they may join or not, as they
 please. Under this plan of organiza-
 ton, the makeup of the state fedora
 tion is not at all representative of the
 entire body of organized labor-not to
 speak of the thousands of morgan
 ized workingmen. One needs only ex- anime the roster Of membership to see
 that the state federation is not repre- sentative of the most skilled most
 intelligent section of Connecticut's working people. For example in the recent convention there were nine del egates representing the bartenders of this state, while the printers, probably equally as numerous, had but four delegates. The 10000 machinists of the state had only six delegates, ex- actly the same number as the 1000 corset makers. And. though 1here are but 415 brewery workers in the entire state. they had five delegates.
 Those famous anti-prohibltion res clutions were cooked up at the con- vention of the Trades Union Liberty League" the day before the federation convention opened. This organization is composed of the bartenders, brew ery-workers and cigar makers of the state. (Too bad the latter are in such bad. company. This is the crowd that presented the resolutions. They were referred to the resolution committee of the ccnvention-constitu Of Scol- lin and O'Leary. bartenders. and Lang, brewery worker. and two others Why jority of men directly interested in the I drink traf1lc. when they repre- sent only ] about 2 per cent. of all the working men of the state? Probably the reason | is that they were expected to do just 1 what they did do. make a favorable | report on the anti-prohibition resolu- l ticns.
 Reaching the f1oor the merits of the | question were not at all | considered, but the appeal to :he dele

What is the Cause of Wars7 What are the Signs of the Timea, and When Will the War End?

Mr. Editor:-When Washington was appointed commander in chief of the Continental army, in Issuing his first general orders, after expressing the hope that all jealousies of the differ ent colonies be set aside, and the only
 contest be as to who should render
 the greatest aid to the common cause,
 he insisted on discipline and subor- dination, and commanded his followers
 to abstain from cursing and profane swearing, also on total abstinence from drunkenness; and in like man ner, required all officers and soldiers, who were not actively engaged in mill itary duties, to attend some place of Divine worship on the sabbath day.
 The continental army was eventu- ally successful and Washington. be- States.
 The cry of the oppressed colonies had been heard and the God on whom Washington and many others at the time of the revolution had called for deliverance. had heard the call, and delivered them from their bondage to the Britons. But the seeds for an- other war had been sowed, and wer, bearing fruit.
 Washington had it in his heart, to free his slaves, but public opinion was so strong in favor of slavery, that Washington, though having the cour- parently lacked the courage to face slavery, but did the next best thing. in his will he made his slaves free at the time of his death. If all the southern people had followed his ex- ample, there would have been no Civil war.
 The strife and animosity of the diff ferent states regarding slavery kept the country in a constant turmoil, un- til the southern states, advocating state sovereingty, began to secede from the Union. They had become very aggressive and I remember well the time when Charles Sumner was accosted by Preston S. Brooks in the United States senate, and nearly kill ed. MT. Sumner was unable to at- tend to public business for nearly a 1 year. I remember the tragic death of Bully Brooks" as he was called in the senate, at a later date, which seemed to us at the time as a visita- tion of Providence upon him. I re- member the weakness of James Bu- chanan. and the waiting and watch ing methods employed by him; till many of the states had seeded, and

OTHER VIEW POINTS

Some years ago Hartford set out to secure the abolition of several railroad crossings which are highly dangerous. Owing to the financial condition of the New Haven road the public utilities commission had granted its permission to delay it's crossing abolition, and Hartford's petitions have not been granted. Since that time there has been a change in administration on the New Haven road and President Pearson shows a tendency to give at tention to such requests. He was in Bristol the other day and discussed the elimination of two dangerous crossings there and plans have already been made for the elimination of sev- eral in the vicinity of New Haven. where important construction work is being done. The public utilities com mission also recommends the abolition might do no harm if Hartford renewed it's request for consideration in this di- rection at this time To do so could do no harm and might accomplish some good.-Hartford Post.
 At Hartford the other afternoon Cor poration Counsel Guilfoile of Water bury gave notice to the public utilities commission that Waterbury would pro test against the increase >in trolley fares, presenting it's petition to the commission in due time.
 Bridgeport, Meriden, Norwalk and OLner clI1eS VIII aiSO peIlIlOn the com mission to order the cent. rate re- stored.
 The duty of our city government is plain-the corporation counsel should be instructed to go to the limit of the law in looking after the interests of the people in this matter. The time has come for a show down" and a show ing up" of this trolley business.
 If in the end municipal ownership of troleys results 1t is safe bet that public interests will be far better serv- ed both in respect to transportation and finances.
 If San Francisco, Chicago and other cities can make millions annually from trolley profits piled up by 5 cent fares. why can't the people of Connecticut do likewise?
 It is time the people and their rep rentatives gave very careful consfdera- tion to these vital matters.

In addition 1t was said that shippers will vigorously protest the ap- plcatiOn Of the carriers for increased tes, which of course IS not unusual and Is tO be expected under the circum- stances. The impression Is current In certain quarters that before congress con some propositions of d sort likely to mollify the American administration. but it is not thought that the same will alter the determination of Washington unless the offerings meet American views fully. Sentiment here is bull!sh and while pe- Iiode of ire gularitv will no doubt be ex- perenced, it looks very much as though strong efforts will be put forth to os,ao- fish q higher range of prices.
