Capitol Changes.
Bridgeport Post.)

Hartford is disturbed because Com ptroller Webster insists on mak- ing practical changes in the state capitol which will not only materially aid the state in it's business, but which will also save a large sum of money, at least for several years.
 That the Capital City would object was certain. What they want was an other state building, no matter how actually unnecessary as a whole. They got Connecticut to spend about four millions in expensive public works and now they want another million.
 But Comptroller Webster is a bus mess man. He combines the eXperi- encc of the cities with a hard headed common sense of the small towns. He sees no call for fancy additions and he sees no great harm in altering a window or two in the capitol in or der to get more room.
 It is true that the Connecticut state capitol is a model of beauty. And it is also a magnificent monument to the fact that it was the first capitol in the country to be built within the appropriation, the commissioners, one of whom was our thoroughly busi- neSS-like Bridgeport representative, the late Nathaniel Wheeler, turning back about $20O,00
 But the very fact that the capitol was so constructed, and was true in it's construction to Connecticut prac- tice in running the government for the people as near to business prin- ciples as is possible with our brand of democracy, is the best of reasons why utility should come first even at the slight cost of window or two in the original plans.
 Comptroller Webster is justified in going ahead. He may feel assured that in these days of growing taxation and expense the people are behind the official who seeks to reduce costs, es- pecially when all eXtravaGant expen- diture is most strongly urged by those who would most often dodge just tax aton.

RcSurrcctin% Blue Laws.
(NeW York Herald.D

New York has Sunday professional placed upon the statute books. Sun day amateur ball games date from a time many years back. All the links in and about the city, public and pri- vate, are crowded on the first day of the week with devotees of golf.
 Not the widest fanatic who ever invoked or dug up blue law could assert with truth that church. going persons are disturbed by the golfers or the ball players The fact of the matter is that in it's present regula- tions this state follows the old prac- tice in vogue in all liberal communi- ties in the past where it was regard ed as proper and fitting that once man had attended to his religious duties he could spend the rest of the day as he pleased provided he did not disturb his neighbors.
 The absurd demands of the head of a mediaeval association of med dlesome persons addressed to the state police of Massachusetts resulted in the prohibition of all golf playing and ball playing in the neighborhood of Holyoke last Sunday.
 What a lot of persons don't see and never will be able 10 see is that this sort of thing is contrary to the letter and spirit of the fundamenta law of this land, in which questions of mor- als, as such, have nothing to do with questions of legality. Tn the Middle Ages, on the other hand, the authori- ties were more interested in trying to make men good than in making them anything else.
 But the old spirit has2been cropping out of late. What that was Lord Macaulay described inimitably when he said that the Puritan objected to bull batting not because he was sorry for the bull but because the so-calicd sport gave some amusement to the spectators.
 In the same way some of our re- formers would stop Sunday games not because of any incidental disorder for there is none, but because they hate to see young and old get any fun out of life.

USING THE AUTOMOBILE.

Possibly as an aftermath of the railroad trouble, possibly because of the fine weather and the time of the year, and probably because of both, the traffic upon the roads of the state was greater yesterday than has been the case upon any other Sunday, or even upon special occasions. Auto mobiles wound their Aly in endless city to city and from the mountains and seashore. The macadam of tne highways saw a constant stream of all manner of equipages, some of which, we believe, antedated Mr. Noah's Ark by some years. Humanity was bound to travel yesterday, and travel it did.
 High-seated old touring cars with the entrance at the back, ForJs galore, roadsters of an ancient vin- tage and limousines of the latest model skipped or purred along with their loads of humanity; it was q motley throng. All were upon plea s- ure bent and there was never .e thought of the railroads, so suddenly turned traitor. We are an adapta ble animal, the type of some of the cars proved that, and We will find a wav 1t seems. Yesterday was meant for recreation and recreation was en- loved despite the fact that some of our travellers evidently had to put the farm tractor out of comm ission for the day to find means of locomo- tion

MANKIND AND STRIKES.

The removal of still moro trains
 from the New Haven system was an
 nouhced today, despite the indications,
 Saturday that the clouds were break
 ing and that the strike on the rail-
 foads was on the mend rather than
 growing worse. The freight embargo.
 placed on this city in common with
 others on the system has not been
 lifted and shows no signs of being
 lifted. There are about twenty cars
 3 day coming into the city, most of
 winch were started on their way be-
 fore the present trouble cropped out
 via the railroads. Naturally the off
 cials are doing their best to keep
 foodstuffs moving. though there is X none being shipped from this locality.
 We are dependent upon what we re-
 ceive from other sections for our sup
 port, while we supply the hardware
 and tools which, in great many ways,
 contribute to the success of The crops which we get in return.
 Should the strike cripple trans portation for very much longer, it has been stated that some of the local factories will have to close down for B time. They cannot ship nor will they be able to get raw materials. The reaction that will come later from
 AL.
 goods needed in agriculture need
 hardly be explained The holding up
 of the tools is bound to create higher
 prices, and if the strike lasts long
 enough to bring about an acute
 shortage of implements, we will oos-
 sibly see a famine. Thus we have
 an Illuminating exposition of the de-
 pendability of each class of producers
 upon the other. The farmer needs

 both need the railroads for -exchang-

 action and regard for his fellowman, De he what he may, in order that all may get what there is in lfe The get it quick and get it now action of any group of men, any link in the ] chain, means suffering for all of the rest.
 The striking shopmen have nearly brought about a condition of panic and partial starvation. It will be such within very short time unless they see the error of their ways and, for the benefit of the rest of labor, return to their work and wait for an adjustment of their difficulties, pro- viding an adjustm ent is needed Should New Britain's shops close I down, the city will see hard times and the workman will not have sufficient money to obtain food; the same will be the case in many other cities The farmer will feel the hard times last, but will feel them just as much. The only grain of satisfaction in the situ- ation is that the strikers themselves will suffer much as they threaten to make us suffer.

HOOVER, HUNGER AND THE RUMANIANS.

Herbert C. Hoover promises to De the saviour of the Allies and, inci dentally, the Hungarians in the mili- tary situation that exists in thc country of the late enemy where the Rumanians are in occupation. Vir- tual ultimatums from the conference in Paris have had little avail m checking the invasion of the Ru- manians and it seems that lack of food will eventually stop the army where force will be unavailing.
 MT. Hoover was instrumental in aiding Rumania and possibly saved her from absolute starvation through his food shipments. He is now said to have greater prestige with thcm than any other man or any nation. His efforts as a mediator have been sought, it is understood. and may be used.
 The threat to cut off food ship ments to them made by the council may have had the effect of the prom ised retirement from Budapest upon the part of the Rumanians That "a large army travels on it's stomach" is an indubitable fact. The Allies have the wherewithal for the stomach anI may profitably use it.

ANDREW CARNEGIE.

"The aim of the Millionaire should be to die poor and thus avoid dis grace" said Andrew Carnegie in 1913.
 "The highest use of great
 fortunes is in public work and
 service for mankind. This is the
 true antidOte to unequal dstri-. button and would pave the way
 for the communist ideal in the
 yet unevolved future. He must
 consider his surplus trust funds
 as held for the community, and
 the best means of distribution is
 by giving free libraries, parks,
 works of art, and public institu-
 tiOnS of various kinds.
 'The rich man may exper-
 ence the stimulus of being in
 debt by anticipating income in
 works for the general good and
 avoiding all forms of extrava-
 gance and ostentation. Death
 duties and inheritance taxes,
 provided they are high enough,
 should be considered among the
 wisest forms of taxation"
 Today MT. Carnegie is dead. He has not accomplished his object in a way as he was very rich man when his sun set but his benefits to man. Kind are many. During the latter part of his life he gave away in the form of endowment to libra ries and dred and a half-million dollars. He was undoubtedly the leader in philan- throphy: His activities in that line covered many fields
 Born in the little town of Dunferm- line, in Scotland he came to the Unit ed States when but thirteen years of for the weekly stipend of one dollar Messenger boy, telegraph operator, manager of the Pittsburgh division of the Pennsylvania railroad, he worked his way upward. Investments in oil lands paved the way for his entrance into the steel business. He introduced the Bessemer process and in 1899 his string of steel plants were bought by the United States Steel Corp. for the sum of three hundred million dollars. '
 His hobby was giving away money, particularly to public libraries where the benefited town was required to raise one-half of the sum needed. He spoke and wrote upon the duties of a rich man to a com munity and all of his thoughts bent in but one way, "Beneficial philanthropy" the giving away of money according to a system of wise benificence. In the year 1912 alone he bcstrowed over one hundred tereStS.

 First Check $1O. ...
 'I can see that first check of SIC dividend money now" he said when he became a retired ironmaster with millions. Tt was something new to all of us, for none of us had ever re- ceived anything but from toil."
 The next step toward independence and fortune came when T. T. Wood ruff, the inventor of the sleeping car, approached him with a model d the invention. He had not spoken to me minute,'' Carnegie has since re- called, "before, like flash, the whole. range of it's value burst upon me- Yes l said, that is something which this continent must have ..
 He consulted Scott, and the threcs invested for the manufacture of tue cars. Carnegie, then earning $50 monthly, had to borrow $200 as his first installment of capital but later when he sold out his interest to the Pullman company he had realized $1O,0O0 for the venture.
 Carnegie was 26 when the civil war broke out and he saw his old en- ployer and friend Scott elevated to the post of assistant secretary Of war Carnegie in turn won an appointment as director of government railways and tclegraphs. To the carnage he saw at several battles may be traced his lifelong belief in the folly of war fare-"a blot upon civilization
 Invested in Oil.
 Unwittingly following the lead of & man who was later to eclipse him in fortune building, Carnegie, at 30 years of age, invested in oil. As one of q syndicate he bought up vast tract of oil land. In d year, to the surprise oi all the investors, it paid the astonish- ing return of $1,00O,000 in cash diNi- dends upon a capital of $4O,00O.
 But iron was the magnet then at tracting Carnegie. The railroads were experimenting with cast iron bridges Carnegie foresaw the demand for factory that could turn out the iron parts, and he formed the Keystone Bridge Works They built as their first great piece, a bridge over the Ohio river, with a span of 800 feet Demand for similar structures became general, and the Keystone works gol the big orders and profits.
 Carnegie then began to see that iron rails must be given up for steel On a visit to England in 1868 he discover ed the success being obtained there with the Bessemer process. Carnegie quietly brought it home, and before the English makers were aware of the fact, he had adopted it in his mills.

 The romance of his success was such that the immigrant boy of 1S4S became some 40 years later the worlds leading producer of steeel, a multi-miIlionaire himself, and fast bringing a score of other men into the same category.

NATIONAL POLICE
FORCE PROPOSED
BY POLICE CHIEF

LOS ANGELES.-A national po-
lice force, operated as separate
and distinct branch of the federal
government, possessed with funds
sufficient to prosecute the most re-
lentless investigations and removed
from the realm of politics, is the
ideal agency by which the United
States can combat rad;calism, in
the opinion of John L. Butler, chief
Of police of Los Angles, who has
just returned from a conference of
Pacific coast chiefs of police at San
Francisco, where the looming men
ace of anarchy was discussed.
This national police department
should be strong enough numerical
ly to cope with any situation, backed
with sufficient appropriation to un-
dertake determined campaign
against destructionists, and should
be empowered by national legisla-
ton to call upon, and if necessary
to direct, the activities of any local
authority" declares Chief Butler.
'The national police force, which
the best-informed police officials now
favor, should be directed by expert
enced detectives, not politicians. 1t
should never be used for political
purposes nor for or against labor or
capital, and should never become
involved in their differences. The
organization should be one to which
could be reported for proper in
quiry any suspicious acts of persons
coming to the notice of city, county
or state authorities, civic organiza-
tons or individuals; in other words,
it should be a centralized clearing
house for data for the protection of
our people and industries against
anarchy or radicalism."
