ZONE SYSTEM
 SURE THING ALDERMAN SAYS

The Connecticut Company has all ways done whatever they wanted, and secured what they wanted. It is my belief that they will put the zone system in operation here despite all protests" said Alderman Edward J. McManus, Republican, a member of the Mayors Committee appointed to protest against the proposed zone system in Bridgeport.
 MT. McManus went on to state that it was his belief both as a law yer and a member of the committee that the city was powerless to act against the great injustice if the Pub lie Utilities Commission refused to do so.
 He pointed out that the franchise of the company was granted by the legislature and while the city was allowed certain rights in the opera ton of the franchise that they could not force the company to set a fair price for fares unless the Utilities Commission saw fit to act.
 While the time is drawing nigh for the installation of the zone rates MT. McManus also stated that the com mittee had held only one meeting and

 ON PROHIBITION
Physicians Report Him
 Gaining in Strength.

Washington, Oct. 25--"President Wilson is slowly gaining in strength, . said bulletin issued today by his physicians, Rear Admirals Grayson and Stitt and pr. Sterling Rufffn of this city.
 Should President Wilson's condition continue to show improvement today it was thought Rear Admiral Gray son, his personal physician, would permit him to receive the prohibition enforcement bill with the attorney generals opinion on it's constitution alty attached.
 The measure was sent to the White House yesterday but was withheld for fear of overtaXing his energy in view of the other questions demanding his attention. Previously the President has shown an eagerness to go into the study of the prohibition enforce nent bill and it doubtless will be the next executive subject brought to his attention.

Practice Patience.

Impotence can never wait until
things are right. It lights the fuse
before the mine is properly laid.
Wants to start building before the
foundation is constructed. 1t wants
to try issues with the world before it
has learned its problems. 1t explodes
upon its best friend before it learns
the reason for his actions The whole
business is folly, but it's only human
nature. Patience is apt to err on the
side Of caution, but it never sacrifices
its interests to passion. 1t never re-
pelS its loved ones by demanding the
unreasonable. 1t just waits for the
facts and then spares what can't be
helped Those who don't understand
it often regard it as Il mark OF weak
ness, but that's because they do rot
know life. Patience is the very es.
sence Of the best that is in the gods
and it brings the best into human life.
Only big souls have it.
