WOULD BAR RED NECKTIEs

st. Paul seems to be becoming hys-
terical over the display of the red
flag by anarchists Bolsheviki and
others of that ilx and Judgment is
being cast TO the four winds
A bill will be presented at the next
session of the Legislature restricting
the display of rcd. If it is passed. no
resident of Minnesota shall be per-
mitted to display any red flag, red
necktie or red carnation for the pur-
pose of showing allegiance to the So
called Socialist party or for any other
Political purposes"
In so far as the proposed statute
relates to the red flag there can be
little objection. But when the state
law making body attempts to legisIate
against the color OF a necktie q man
may wear or against the color Of his
houtonniere it is approaching the
ridiculous Legislation against gar
ments that offend the public sense Of
modesty is always accepta bic but it is
going too far when discrimination is
made against carnations and cravats
simply because they happen to be Of d
certain hue
And who is to Judge whether a per
son is wearing a red nccktie and car
nation for the purpose of showing
allegiance to tho so-called Socialist
party?

Shall the Trolley Companies Pay:
Waterbury Republican,,

y
Waterbury Republican,,
Twenty years ago, ungodly
amount of water was pumped into
Connecticut trolley securities by due
process of law that could not be
undOne. The men who did 1t got
away with q deal Of the swag. They
unloaded. They did not get the full
face value of the stock they watered
because ii never sold at par, but they
made q great haul. Their successors
bought or leased the companies
IN the belief that the prevailing
fares would always be sufficient to
pay profits.
This belief failed TO take into the
account that In q then distant future
a world wide war might cause such a
rise in prices that the Ave cent
fare would no longer he sufficient
to pay operating expenses let alone
Dividends: 1t did not antiu4pate The
Shrinkage of the humble nickel. The
fare has recently raised te six cents.
Now 1t is proposed to raise il to
seven.
Every time a public utility cor
poration selling IL service al a fixed
price finds 1t necessary to raise its
price or go bankrupt. il has to pass
two tOll-gates. One is the gate OF
public opinion and the other is the
gate established by the limitations of
the law. A company which waters
it's stock SO Outra geousIy a. that of
the old Connecticut Railway and
Lighting Co. was diluted, should be
very careful to ascertain that the
purchasing power Of money will
never shrink.
the present situation gives the
public of Connecticut an opportunity
to review to some extent the high
financial operations of the past, to
consider what can be done without
expressing the investors to reduce
the Initiation in trolley securities, to
make some kind of bargain or
effect some kind of n compromise by
which tho trolley system will obtain
the revenue 1t needs for expenses
and certain modest dividends but
not the enormous returns which it
was counting upon twenty years ago.
Whether 1t is done depends upon
the character Of the next general
assembly and the public utilities
commission, and how thoroughly and
effectively the financial and legal
situations are studied in order to find
the weak spot in the company's ar
NOR. The defeat is there some
where. we may depend upon it, be
cause here is a situation which the
fine legal minds of 1889 made no
provision for
Whether the state and the public
will be able to extract d measure Of
justice and recompense from the
need of the trolleys depends very
largely upon the caIiber Of the men,
bers Of the next general assem- bly,.
Generally, we fear, they were not
considered\ carefully from this view

No one can prove that MIR. Roose-

sonal following, but for 10 years the
candidates whom he has conspicuous
ly supported for office have been al
most invariably defeated.
In 1910, Mr.. Roosevelt supported
Stimson for governor of New York,
and Stimson was defeated. In 1912.
Mr.. Roosevelt himself ran for Dresi-

Roosevelt supported Bird for govern

feated. In 1914, he supported Dayen-
port for governor of New York. and
Davenport was defeated. In 1916 he
supported Hughes for president and
Hughes was defeated. In 1917. he
supported Mitchell for mayor of New
York City, and Mitchell was defeated.
This year he supported Whitman for

The unexpected return of
pet dog to the home of Mr.. !. M.
Perry last week was source of
much pleasure to him and his
wife. 1t seems some fourteen
months ago, after boarding
tram en- route to New Orleans
Mrs. Perry discovered that her
pet fox terrier Mutt, had followed
her and took his place near her
seat. Upon reaching New Orleans
the little faithful animal strayed
Off and could not be found after
searching the Union Station. Last
week her son Mr.. Julien Perry
had occasion to occupy seat in
front OF the Rice Hotel at Hous-
ton. Texas, and he noticed the
dog standing near his feet.
Calling to him, the canine i'm
medlately jumped upon his lap
with JOY. The dog it seems was fol-
lowing little newsboy that had
also hailed from New Orleans.
and it is more than probable he
brought the terrier with him
when he removed to Houston.
The Perry family were elated
over the return of the pet more
than ever, because it had been
raised by their son John Perry
now doing duty near Lorraine.
France and its unexpected return
home made them feel like a lost
member Of the family had came
back after a long absence.

that wheat could not be raised

mill on his place. He obtained
the seed from the department of
agriculture at Washington and
planted a full acre which he will
have ground to be used as Graham
flour. Wheat is raised very sue
cessfully in the northern portion
Of Louisiana and it can be grown
just as successfully here if the
proper attention is given to the
staple. This being true next year
