To the stranger lingering at our gate,
Our city's wondrous growth we relate
Men of pluck and treasure came,
Our primeyal forests to reclaim.
On the Bogue Lusa mill was built,
And the site approve, | know thou

From these initial plans fast matur-

Grew our greater plants more endur-

Till colossal interests Of such
breadth and span
Because known as the "Bogalusa

Do not your yelling tides of feeling

As you catch our growing enterprise?
Do you not feel incline to shout and

In loving remembrance OF our dear
son and brother, John Lesley Me-
MILAN, who was killed December II,
1916, at VarnaoB, La.
You are gone, but not forgotten,
John,
Nor shall you ever be:
As long as life and memory last
We shall remember thee.
If we had seen you at the last,
And held YOUR dying hand,
And heard the last sigh from your
heart,
We would not feel so bad.
We did not know the pain you had,
We did not see you die.
We only know you went away
And never said goodbye"
Sadly missed by his loving mother,

POLITICS IN RAID?

Gossip in New Haven today relates chiefly to the extensive raid on Savn Rock concession proprietors Sunday by the police of West Haven, in which town the amusement resort is situat- ed Sixty-six men and women, either proprietors or employes, were taken into custody on the ground that they were operating amusem ent places in violation of the local laws restricting Sunday attractions.
 According to the story coming from New Haven, the raid was retaliatory measure taken against Sheriff Tom Reilly. The cleanup was directed by a West Haven police official who was a candidate for appointment as deputy sheriff by MT. Reilly. Owing to the opposition of two members of the Democratic Town Committee, both of whom are interested in Savin Rock amusement features, he did not win the appointment. The police official thercupon decided to obtain revenge, it is said and ordered all places closed and those found in charge arrested.
 Under present arrangements, Savin Rock concessionists operate under licenses issued by the state police in- stead of securing permits from the To- cal officials sharp conflict of au- thority is anticipated and the case may go to higher courts if the finding in the police court is against the Savin Rock merchants.

ThC Education Board.
(AnSOnia SentineI.)

Governor Holcomb has made public his appointment of the new state board of education, consisting of nine mem bers, which is to Wrestlo with the problem of improving educational methods in the state. The selections of the governor are such as to insure public confidence in the new board. He has picked men of such ability and experience in educational matters that it is evident that they can and will render efficient service to the state.
 All of the members of the old board retire to private life. The new board will inherit none of the squah bles and vexatious problems of the old board. It can start with a clean slate and this gives it a, firm vantage point from which to enter upon the task of building up a system of edu- cation in Connecticut second to none in the Coutry.
 We. can trust such men as Dean Frederick S. Jones of New Haven and Yale, William A. Shanklin of Wes- leyan, Charles l.. Ames of Hartford principah of the Brown school, and others of the same type of sanity and broad educational experience. to deal adequately with state educational problems including that of Americana zation of the alien element in the state.
 The governor has done his part and the new board can be relied upon to do it's part in reorganizing state edu cational methods and equallzlng the opportunity for education in both city and country districts It is a good board and it has a most important work to do. There is general confi- dence that it will rise to the level of the opportunity which comes to it.

American Money.
(Seattle Post-Intelligencer.)


 It is to be doubted whether the people of Europe are so sensitive about their ruins as some would have us believe: Unless European char acter has been changed beyond all belief by the experience of war, it is more than likely that the Ameri- can tourist will be as eagerly vel comed as of yore. Jus now, no doubt, he isn't in any great demand, as Europe has other things to think about than gathering in the tourists change; the tourist would be in the way, eating scarce food, utilizing scarce fuel, and in general being a liability instead of an asset. Europe isn't so much in need of money now as the things money will buy, and the tourists money isn't as valuable as the wealth he would consume.
 But that will all come shortly. Be- fore the war the United States could be counted on to spend $100, 100000 a year in Europe, a fact so we'll known that the tourist was always a factor in any calculations of interna- tional business and trade balances in which the United States was involved. The American toust was one of Flu ropes best industries, and millions upon millions were invested in the various devices to get his money. These enterprises will be in full blast as soon as they can be re-esta blished. Of that there can be little doubt.
 The European is no sentimentalist. Life at the best in Europe is little too harsh for the majority of the people to permit them to indulge in any expensive notions. Your French man, your Belgian, your Swiss, in- dividually are all a canny lot, al- ways willing to turn an honest penny, perience with them. They are none the less brave and heroic races, be- cause bravery and thrift have nothing to do with prodigality or thrift.
 The declaration that Europe does not want America to come to the battlefields 10 satisfy "vulgar curi- osty'' was very probably uttered by a sentimental American who has taken a little too seriously to heart the general tone of international dis course, and it is altogether likely that there will be a, discreet refutation of this idea as soon as tourist travel to Europe can be restored.
 Europe mana ged to tolerate our Vulgar curiosity for a good many years and it would be strange now if, gation to pay us S500!000,00 year interest, she should be too naughty to take part of it back from our tourists. The European is a human being, just like the rest of us.

THE ABSENT MIR. BORAH.

Among the most prominent con- tributors to newspaper literature dur ing the past few weeks, Senator Borah has held first place. Even further back he assisted generously in filling the columns, sometimes to his own chagrin, that time, for instance, when he declared that he would not vote for a league of nations if the Saviour of Mankind came to earth and solicited his support. But his activity since the Republican party began to shape it's course in Congress has drawn pub lie attention to him and interest has been aroused concerning his inten- tions.
 Senator Borah has threatened to leave the G. o. r. flat on it's back. He has threatened to smash Senator Pen- rose and Senator Warren, candidates for important seats in Senate con- mittees, because they did not measure up to his standards. We have heard him say that he would fight to the death before permitting the naming O1 these gentlemen.
 Those were promises. But they do not square with practice. Senate Re- publicans held a conference yesterday to discuss the committees recommend ed by the Committee on Committees. And where was MT. Borah? No one knows. He was absent. This self appointed champion of the people s liberties was not present. His voice did not pierce the cigar sm oke. Neither did his arms saw the air in wild gesti- culation or fgenzied protest against the selection of Messrs. Penrose and Warren. The MT. Borah who was to perform mighty deeds and scare peo- pie to death with the thunder of his voice had disappeared.
 It is possible Borah will rise up in his wrath on the Senate floor. Then again, it is possible he will sit in his | chair and sulk-or remain away from | the session entirely.

THE SOLID BARRIER.

Representative Madden of Illinois reports on his observation of Euro pean psychology which may have an effect on the proposed alliance be- tween France, England and America when it is brought before the Senate by President Wilson. MT. Madden cannot be accused of playing politics as in a recent utteranCe he advocated that the United States give it's whole hearted support to President Wilson in his labors at Paris. That appeal was made before the public was in formed that the United States would be asked to pledge it's resources to protecting France in the event of German military aggression.
 Speaking of conditions in Europe generally, MT. Madden said yesterday:
 It cannot be possible for our
 people to mingle With the people
 there on equal terms; they do not
 think like we do. Invisible bor-
 der lines make it necessary for
 them to be watchful of each
 other. They are suspicious, one
 nation of the other, and you can-
 not make them otherwise. Their
 international political hatred is
 unchangeable.

WANDERLUST.

Beyond the East the sunrise, beyond the West the sea, And East and West the wanderlust that will not let me be: It works in me like madness, dear, to bid me say goodbye! For the seas call and the stars call and oh, the call of the sky. know not where the white road runs nor what the blue hills are, But man can have the sun for friend and for his guide a star; And there's no end of voyaging when once the voice is heard, For the river calls and the road calls, and oh, the call of a bird. Wonder the long horizon lies, and there by night and day The old ships draw to home again, the young ships sail away; And come I may, but go l must, and if men ask you why, You may put the blame on the stars and the sun and the white roads and the sky!

DenmaTk's Foresight.

Little Denmark, demurely declining Schleswig. which the conference so benevolently offers to her. is like the spectacle of 8 year old Tommie grave ly refusing the piece of apple pie which auntie offers him, with the po lite remark that it looks nice, but that the apples might be green.
 Perhaps the Danish fears regarding the decision of the SchlesWig Ger mans may seem far-fetched. It may, at first glance, appear most improb- ble that these Germans would re- nounce their nationality But consid- CT the peace treaty. That yoke is not going to bear lightly on the necks of those who remain under the German flag, and a decision for separation from the fatherand ceases to be such a n improbable result of the proposed plheiscite.
 There is som ething else nominated in the bond Southern Schleswig bor- ders the Kiel canal, In the eyes of the Allies it is extremely desira ble that one of these banks should be Danish.
 If the Danes seem guilty of rank ngratitude their apology can be found in the 4 points.

Salary of Legislators.
(Springfield Union)


 The lower branch of our legisla- ture which has voted to increase the salary of it's new members by $500 a year, should for it's own rep utatiOn, if for no other reason, reverse that action without delay. It is bad enough in any year for legislators to fatten their own salaries; it is par ticularly bad in year that calls for strict economy in public expenditures In his inaugural address, the gov ernor said:
 "Tha importance of economy can not be oversta ted, whether viewed in the light of our present financial con- dition or the future uncertainty The people, asked to save, did not fail 10 respond. They will expect no less from their government True econ omy is an exhibition of self-reStralnt' an index to civiliza tiOn
 The practice of self-restramt Tn this regard would very much become o1lr representatives. If legislators need more pay-and, of course, it is true that their salary does not go so far as it did prior to the war-the larger compensation should go to the legisIators next elected. The house is in no position to apply the sound pol icv of the governor to salaries paid in other branches of the public serv- ice if it's own member participate in a salary grab.

Small Contributions.
Bridgeport POst.)

It has been officially announced by Chairman Hays of the republican national committee that hereafter no contribution of more than $1,000 will be accepted from anyone toward fi- nancing the coming republican cam paign.
 This is a move in the right direc- ton. The republicans in time past have been grievous offenders in the use of money. Not that the demo- crats have been behind them when they could get the cash, but the re- publicans having wealth with them have used cash without stint. Two presidential campaigns in his tory stand out as marked by enor- ! nous expenditures. and the highly significant thing about them is that the money raised on both sides had about as much to do with the results as the use of gold to keep a COW from starving.
 These two campaigns were in 1896 and 1904. The republicans spent mil l lions in the anti-silver fight against Bryan, when they could have won in
 l a walk without using a dollar. The democrats used millions to help Park | CT defeat Roosevelt in 1904 when big business had made up it's mind to
 punish the colonel. What happened
 l is history.
 There is, as Chairman Hays says, | a call for legitimate campaign eX- l penditure. But there is never any
 l demand for the mulcting of men and 1 corporations of large sums of money, 1 twc-thirds of which generally goes 1 into the pockets of the campaign managers, while the rest is used for the legitimate expense.
 How utterly useless even from practical standpoint these great cam paign funds are was in evidence in 1 the sadly unwise effort to elect Mayor
