Spain, where 1t was understood they would be put to work in the mines. When news of the condition reached New Or leans, riots followed, the office of the Spanish consul was broken into, the DOT traits of the queen of Spain and of the captain general of Cuba were defaced, and the Spanish flag was tern to pieces. Other buildings were attacked and more property destroyed.
 At different times the rioters were ad- dressed by the mayor sheriff and district attorney; finally. having wrecked their vengeance on the chief offenders, the violence of the mob came to an end.
 This occurrence gave rise to a nice diplomatic question. The Spanish minis ter at Washington demanded redress for the insult to the flag and peeuniaFy in- demnity for the personal losses. After which the provecation was duty pointed out. the secretary of state frankly ack- newledged the wrong, expressed regret in the most handsome terms. and said that when a Spanish consul was again sent to New Orleans instructions would be given to salute the flag of his ship "as a dem onstration of respect, such as may sig nifty to him and his government the sense entertained by the government of the United States of the gross injustice done to his predecessor by a lawless mob, as well as the indignity and insult offered | by 1t to 8 foreign state with which the 1 United States are, and wish ever to re. | main, on terms of the most respectfu and pacific intercourse" Thus the in. cident was closed.

MEETING AN ACTUAL NEED.

It is only what was expected when t is announced that Governor Lake has signed the bills for additions to the Norwich and the Connecticut state hes pitals in order to accommodate the con- stAntly increasing number of insane. At the oOening of the general assembly op- position was manifested toward the au- , !horiEatioh of appropriations for new construction where not absolutely need cd. It was felt that the time was not right for large outlays of that kind with conditions far from normal and the A- 1ances Of the state unfavorable.
 However in the matter of caring for the insane there is involved a responsi- bility of the state that cannot be dis regarded It is well known what the situation vas before the state hospitals were able to accommodate patients as last as they needed institutionAl treat ment. The almshouses throughout the state and in some instances the jails were depended upon 10 restrain those whose minds had become affected. Inas- Q much as the best results in treating such sases are obtained through early atten. lion. it was evident that such cases were suffering from neglect and the chance of recovery growing dinner each day. - With our Insane hospitals so nearly 70 filled that but few more patients can b. accommodated 1t was clearly the duty of ehe state te make provision for inereas inE the accommodations. It was a case where the number of insane Is appar ently growing faster than the state with out the new buildings was prepared ts take care of them.
 IL would have been gross injustice t. these afhieted with mental trouble fol the state not to have recognized the neet of increasing its equipment fer treating such cases and protecting the public. Tn, general assembly therefore acted w;sely ln needing the plainly disclosed needi and appropriating sums sufficient t, meet requirements, and the governor b, approving such bills simply endorses tha sood judgment.

CHIEF JUSTICE TAFT.

The appointment and confirmation of ex-President William H. Taft as chief justice of the United States supreme court will create general sotisfactien throughout the country. For years he has been regarded as the logical man for a place on the bench of the highest court of the land and it has been freely intimated that it was the desire of the late Chief Justice White that the former president should succeed him.
 President Harding has made an excel. lent selection. Mir. Taft has the ju. dicial mind. he has had the training even though he has not occupied a place on the bench of this particular court, and the country will have every confidence in his administration of thk high position. That he should be se lected to the chief justiceship rather than as a justice and have someone elst made chief justice is particularly fitting in view of his experience and the fac that he is an ex-president of the coun try. From the presidency to the chic iusticeship, or even the supreme court is not the usual course. It is not alway. SO that a president is equipped te steV into judicial position, but in this in stance he is in every way qualified ana here Is every reason to believe that h, will i'll the position with high credit t, he country and to himself.
 That President Harding should reeeiv, lppeals from all sections of the eeuntr, n behalf of the action which he hal .aken simply indicates the wiaesnreat recognition of the qualifications of tn, sx-president and the desire regardless T political affiliations that hss servieel should- be assured to the country in thi position for which he is so eminentl, htted. The country has good reason t, feel that the president has made one O the best possible selections and that 1 has been made entirely upon merit a should always be the case in filling va csncies on that and other courts.

sNEKs ATTITUDE oF oONeRKes.

In the matter of disarmament there has been nothing to indicate that con- kress, was endeavering to have the pres ident undertake something in which he Is net interested. There has been and Is . wholesome desire fer q reduction in the amount of meney that is spent each year for armament just because another country Is daIag the same thing sr lit tle better. There Is feeling that this mad rsee for supremacy ought not tS be continued, that it would be to the advantage of ell the big nations if the heavy expenditures in this direction were checked. And 1t Is net alone in congress that this feeling prevails.
 If, hoVaver, there has besn any mis- understanding of the presidents position concerning dtsarmament that must have been cleared up by the letter which he forwarded ts Leader Mondell of the low CT house in whIeh he declared that he was anxious ts get the expression of congress in the hFoadest and most gen eral terms concerning disarmament and that he would Esve 1t every csnsidera- tisn.
 Opinions vary ef course as to when fl is the most advisable time to undertake q conference of the nations concerHint disarmament, and while the adrninistra- tien is understeod ts have been quietly sounding the sentiment of other countries 1t Is maintAin4d that the feeling is that with conditions as they are it is unlikes that results could be obtained in keep. ing with what is desired.
 Nevertheless the president has made il clear that he does not stand in the way of having congress- give expression t' l it's feeling concerning the matter of dis armament. It is realized that such ae tion as congress may take does not bind him to carry it out since such :; matter rests within the province of thu president but it is plainly evident tha he is desirsus of working with congress Through such manner progress eugh te be made in keeping with condition that prevail and as rapidly as tAe situa ton warrants.

Just because this country has gone Through some unfavorable experiences In connection with the production of ships. ships and more ships, and today ands itself in the position where the shipping board has announced that 1t will dispose of certain of its vessels be- lore the first sf October or destroy them foes not mean that we have not safned valuable experience and undergone ina portant development in the building of Thips as the result of the war
 That we are prepared to turn out ves- Eels speedily is indicated by the order which has been placed in this country sy an ei1 transport company ef Great Britain because 1t realizes that 1t can get the vessels needed much mere quick ely here than it esuld be waiting fer ae- livery at home.

BELIEVING THE ROADS.

Seemingly the bankers of the country had something interesting to say to the president and his cabinet on the occasion of their visit ts Washington. Their vis- it was solicited and it was the purpose of the president to obtain their views, Thus 1t is interesting to note that among Otfer things they pointed out to the pres ident the need of speeding up an adjust ment of the claims of the railroads in order to hasten the return to normal conditions throughout the country.
 It is recognised of course that the railroad claims are not being delayed because they are being ennss2d. They are in fact being paid as fast az they are acted upon but what Is needed is a speeding up of the NeFk in this eenhee- ten, the cutting sf the usual govern ment red tape and if necessary the in treduetion of differe1t methods which will hasten the adjustment It was not overlooked that the claims of the gov ernment against the railroads smeRntS to something like three-quarteTs of . billion, but the railroads have claims against the government Aggregating a billion and a quarter and until this sit uati0n is cleared up they are inclined to move cautiously as to expenditures. Within the week the railroads have been shown the advisability of buying their coal supply at the present time when prices are down. Presumably they would like to, but like corporations and | individuals they are suffering from 2 lack of funds and are pestponing all except what is necessary. Could these claims be more speedily adjusted 1t was | the view of the bankers that the raii- roads would be in . position to resume buying on a normal scale and that would have a tremendous effect upon business in general. They are in need of just such help as would be given to their pur. 1 chasing power by the settlement of tht i claims and 1t can be appreciated what an effect there would be upon industry and business were it se that the rail roads buying as good business might die tate and taking full advantage of th' conditions that prevail
 Just how much can be done in the way of carrying out the bankers suggestion remains te be seen but they have ap parently laid emphasis upon a matte, of no little imperanee.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

MT Editor: Mir Cosgrove, in his letter is quite right about the cemetery super intendency, but think he is wrong on the street crossings as laid out by the street department. Every city I have visited has space designated by lines for the public to cross the streets.
 There is however, a great chance for economy in our city affairs outside of q couple of quarts of white paint For instance, they are paying one man at the rate of s175o a year to read meters and another $Sse a year to go with him to set down the figures in a book Or, in other words, We are paying at the rate of ;2710 q year to read the meters connected with our water works. (By the way I understand the board has raised the salary of the one that sets down the figures, as read to him, S2o a menth-for. I suppose, the faithful per. formaHee of his duties)
 We also have a cashier and clerk ot

the water board at a salary of $500 a year and a girl clerk at a salary of SEQ week.. more or less, to do his work The charter of the water works says the president of the board of water commits sioners shall have charge of and attend to all matters, including supervision of all work done on our water system. We have the president. He draws $500 a year. He has supervisor drawing s1,- 800 a year, making s2300 year for a brick mason and carpenter to run the hydraulics and boss four foremen at $175o each, either one of them better qualified to run the job than they are. The last hydraulic engineer we had was dyer and dry cleaner. and according to all reports, he was long on wood and short on money.
 Sc you see MT. Crosgrove, there Is a whole lot more for us taxpayers to worry about besides a white way and two white streaks and a right of way for the travelling public to cross our thor oughfares.

 ''The dressmakers and tailors all as sure yog 1t makes you look young to dress se," said Mrs. Foster. "A short skirt and giddy hat they say, are the proper caper"
 Its my opiinon that nothing makes one look old like dressing too young '' declared Mrs. Simmons. You expect to see a young girls face under the pink tulle hat and it is distinct shock to find heavy wrinkles. My niece was the one who first undertook to rejuvenate me and she won't give up."
 "Nieces are worse than daughters, E sighed Mrs. Davis, feelingly 'I have six and they lack the wholesome awe that daughter ought to feel even if she doesn't"
 My niece began at me about my skirts" explained Mrs. Simmons. "She had just been married and for weeks she had not talked about anything but clothes. She persuaded me that I looked very jaunty in skirt about right for a 1 1s year old girl, and I went flying around in that absurd outfit for months. Now thank goodness, fashion permits me te 1 wear gaFb suited to my dignity. "0f course after I had short skirt my niece began to notice my shoes. chuckled Mrs. Simmons.

 "I never should have got them if had been left to myself" said Mrs. Simrons. But you don't know my niece. She's , by. all odds the most persuasive person yeu ever heard of When I got them home I could not wear one single pair. l They ali pinched like the mischief and called her up and told her I should have 1 to take the rest of ny life breaking them in.

I haven't recovered yet I was able to wear those shoes ever the gauzy creations she sent fne, and after ! a time the shoes did not seem to pinch

 and couldn't she get some stockings, or
 something, for me. I had told her l
 should want something warmer than
 those silk things, so it was kind of her to remember. told her she might send me up some warm cotton stockings, per
 haps a dozen pairs, and she said she'd do her best When the package arrived
 found every single pair of stockings l was heavy wool and I called up my niece to find out if she had misunderstood
 me. She said she hadn't misunderstood
