The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-06-09

I of the men were back from the bor- der in time to vote so that the law l passed in 1916 was practically a work of supererogation.
 Again in 1918. when Connecticut
 soldiers went abroad the Governor
 could see the necessity of calling
 the Legislature into special session
 so that they might vote, and he
 did so.
 But now, when 1t is proposed to give the right of franchise to ESQ.,, GOO persons in Connecticut who lack 1t now. the Governor can see no necessity for a special session to help decide whether this more than a third of a million people shall have the right now or whether they shall have to wait until after the Legislature of 1921 has acted in its leisurely fashionl It is estf- mated that 35Wo0O women will be voters in Connecticut if the Anthony amendment is ratified. Almost one- third of that number had signed petitions presented to the last Leg islature which were offered in support of the plea for the passage of bill giving women presidential suffrage alone.
 1et the governor, so keen1y alert to see justice done to the soldiers. can sec no emergency that re- quires a special legislative session to do the same kind of justice to more than a third of a million of the states population.
 The Republican party in Connec-. ticut contains just as many broad minded and progressive men as any party, but 1t submits to a leader ship which is as bourbon as Brandegee, Mclean and Rora- back, and if it isn't very careful it will suffer all the consequences of such supineness. It Is high time for progressive Republicans in Connec- ticut to assert themselves and de- mand that party leadership shall represent, and not nlisrepresent, the party. The Republican party in Connecticut ought to be bigger than any group of selfish men. It ought to be a strong force for decency, right and progress and not merely a vehicle to sat atisfy the ambitions of the 5ob-hunters and those who sub-f scribe to the theory of you tickle me and I'll tickle you"

CALL THE LEGISLATURE.
CFrom The Hartford Post)

l
 The extent to which the presenr
 organization of the Republican
 party is rnisr representative of even l Republican sentiment in Connecti-
 cut is best illustrated by two incl | dents and Wednesday, first, votes oi | Mclean and Brandegee in the Sem 1 ate on Suffrage and the speech of l the latter on the same subject ana | second the declaration of Governor , Rolcomb following the passage or ! the Anthony amendrn ent, according 1 to the Hartford Courant, that ne i doesn't see any special emergency which calls it for an extra session or | the Legislature to ratify the amend ment or do anything else.
 Brandegee shut his eyes to the plain facts when he declared in the Senate his belief that the majority of Connecticut women do not want suffrage and it is an outrage to force it on any state which is against It.
 The fact is, that within two or three months before the Connecti-
 cut Legislature rejected presiden-
 tial suffrage by a single senatorial vote, one hundred thousand Con
 necticut women had signed petl-
 ton asking for the vote and the verified signatures were posted in
 the Capitol for anyone to see who questioned their validity. The anti suffragists claimed to have 75,0o0 names against suffrage but they failed to show them and they made no pretense that their list of sig
 natures had been revised within three or four years. Every one of the hundred thousand names on the sufrragist list was that of woman who, if the Anthony amendment were O. law. would be quflified to vote under it.
 Brandegee, one of little minority of only eight members of his own party in the Senate, got up and de- clared his belief that the women of Connecticut do not want suffrage!
 So much for Brandegee and Mc- Lean Now as to the Governor. When the National Guardsmen were upon the border he could see the plain necessity of calling the Leg is1ature into special session to give them the right to vote. but he re- peatedly declared he could not see the necessity for any further legts- iation. although 1t was as repeat edly pointed out that some provi- sion should be made for the fam flies Of the soldiers to have bread and butter as we'll as for their hus- bands and sons to have the right to vote. The Post repeatedly em- phasized this issue but it was not until the New Britain Common Council formally asked for legis- lation for the relief of the families that the Governor decided to in dude that in the special session to give the soldiers. tho ballot. And, as ! matter of 1aof all but . hendful

His Suicide Frustrated,
Poet Wrote Famous Hymn

The origin Of the well-known hymn,
"God moves in mysterious way, his
wonders to perform" was a curious
incident In the life of its author, VIII
liam Cowper, the English poet, notes a
writer in the Peoples Home Journal.
Cowper, deeply religious man, was
subject to attacks of the blacklist mel
ancholy. During one Of these attacks
he determined to end his life by throw
ing himself into the Thames river. He
hired a cab to take him to the river,
but dense fog so confused the cab
man that, after driving about for an
hour, he admitted to his passenger
that he was lost Cowper, alighting
from the cab in order to give the
driver more careful directions for
reaching the bridge, found that his
wanderings had brought him back to
his own door. Strongly affected by
what seemed to him almost divine
interposition, Cowper dismissed the
cab, hurried to his room and wrote his
famous hymn.

Will Have Night Train
Bulletined Here in Future

Through the good offices of the
Chamber of Commerce, the Southern
Pacific has made arrangements to
have train No. 1Ol bulletined here
each night. Heretofore this train
was not bulletined, and passengers
very often have to wait hours for the
train, not knowing at what time it
would arrive because of the fact that
no information could be had as tc
whether the train was late or not
The Chamber of Commerce, through
its manager, Mr.. w. c. Hartman, COM

ger agent at that place promptly re-
Piled that the train would be bulle-
tined each night from now on.

They loved the English hsdgerows
And scented English fanas:
They loved the sunlight on theh Owns
And the soft English roan1.
And now-they sleep In FMrAerD
Or where the sad Mafne fSowA
A bleak white cross above their heads;
Their names, all, no ono knowsl
They loved the life Of London,
With lights that CLEANED hke pearls
And theaters and taverns
And rosy English girls.
Their youth was a brief glory
That sped too swiftly by;
They left their schools and cricket
And came out hereto die.
And some were shining poets.
And some were simple boys
Who loved the Surrey fields and all
Substantial English joys.
From Elton and from Oxford,
From many an English town,
They came to save q world from shamS
And lay their young lives down.
In some celestial garden
Perhaps they sit today
And laugh as once they used to laugh,
Play as they used to play.
IT'S we who weep for young lads gone;
But they-they are not dead,
Though simple crosses stand above
Each brave young English head.
They loved, and are contented
On windy wastes to sleep.
Yet when the English daisies
Begin to smile and creep,
Pluck them and take them over
10 many a lonely grave:
For they loved English flowers,
These young. and bright, and brave.

Spiders Web Is One of
the Simplest Barometers

One Of the simplest Of natures
barometers is a spiders web. When
there is a prospect of wind or rain
the spider shortens the filaments by
which it's web is sustained and leaves
it in this state as long as the weather
Is variable. If it elongates its threads
it is sign of fine, calm weather, the
duration of which may be Judged by
the length to which the threads are
let out. If the spider remains inactive
1t is a sign of rain; if it keeps at work
during rain the downpour will not last
long, and will be followed by fine
weather, says an exchange. OBSERVE

First Penny Postage Trial =
Inaugurated in England IN
184OeLong After in Canada

The first trial Of cheap postage was
the system Of penny postage inaugu-
rated in England January 10. 1910.
The idea that letters could be for
warded to any part Of England and
delivered for only penny seemed
absurd to most Englishmen, and they
predicted speedy failure for the prof.
ect. 1t is unnecessary to point out
that they proved to be poor prophets,
observes a writer in the New y rk
World.
On this side of the A. mic the
much greater distance, o> emed to pre-
clude the adoption Of any such meas
ure as low, fiat rate for letters. At
the time Great Britain adopted penny
postage, the rates in the United States
were: For 80 miles and under, 6
cents; 80 to 60 miles, 8 cents; 60 to
100 miles. 10 cents, and over 100
miles proportionate increase, so that
q letter dispatched distance Of $50
miles cost IS cents.
With the adoption of Rowland Hills
penny postage system. England also
adopted his suggestion that the diff
culties attending prepayment Of post
age might be overcome by using a
bit Of paper large enough to bear the
stamp, and covering the back with a
glutinous wash, which by applying a
little moisture. might be attached to
the back Of the letter." Thus the
postage stamp was born, and there
came into existence those little scraps
OF paper which are now collected by
millions Of men and boys the world
over, and some Of which, because Of
their rarity, are worth thousands Of
dollars
An approach to the penny postage
Of Great Britain was made In 1851.
when 3-cent postage was adopted in
the United States. Adhesive postage
stamps had previously been introduced
on this side Of the Atlantic In 1847.
Later postage was reduced to cents
In the United States in 1883, but it
was not until some years later that
Canada followed the example Of her
mother country by instituting the
penny postage.
