at work endeavoring to continue the

in need of advice and practical help.
At this moment, when the hot
weather is especially trying to babies,
attention has been called to the harm

by mothers who do not understand
the danger. Fruits. pickles, ice cream
and other foods Of similar nature
have caused sickness among the

LOVES LABOR LOST.

Probably the word received today
from the Connecticut company, that it
will help in the paving Of South Ma n
street, means that work may be done
there by the city. 1t means also that
more men will get jobs.
We are thankful for that.
It should be noted, however. that
like many communications coming
fl ON companies which have attorney s
who are most careful Of the words
they allow to be reduced to writing.
there are no detailed promises in the
communication that brings what
seems to be good news.
The matter of paving this street
came up at the meeting of the board
OF public works last evening. Serious,
honest discussion was held between
The Mayor, members of the board and
the city engineer, as to the advisable
ity Of doing any paving there when it
was not known what the Connecticut
Company would do. Attempt had been
made some time ago, as noted il
these Columns to ascertain what the
company woul do, but to no avail
Again, we are glad there is now a
chance to do this work. and to give
Jobs to more men. The incident i,
cited merely to show one instance
where the officials Of the city have
been obliged to do much work whicr
would have been needless If the Cor
necticut company had been able t.
Cooperate promptly.

KEEPING COOL.

. Everybody wants to keep as cool as
possible these days, physically, at
least. And keeping cool mentally
helps-but that is beside the point
here made.
Many people like to take warm
baths declaring that "I feel so cool
when I leave the warm water and
get into the air."
II one has time but for a moment
in the water this is true. The warm
bath does make one feel cool tenn
porarily.
But the cool bath-the swim the
boys take-this is the real way to
get cool and stay cool if the time is
at ones disposal.
If a person has time to let the cool
water get in its work of cooling the
blood thoroughly, the best results
will be obtained.
OF course too long a stay in the
water is not beneficial at any time
but the moderately long cool soak.
| ing is much preferable to long con.
| tinued use of warm water, regardless.
of the momentary feeling that comes
on leaving the water. Too vigorou!
| a rub afterwards should be avoided
where the sole purpose is to obtai,
| cool comfort

New London, July 27.-The new
toll rates which went into effect on
the New London. saybrook and East
Haddam drawbridEe on July Is are
not bringing in the sum that was ex-
pected, not because the traffic across
the bridge Is not as heavy, but be-
cause the travelling public appears to
have learned how to beat the toll
The rates provide that each vehicle
shall pay Is cents toll and each pas
senger S cents, while pedestrians may
pass the toll gate free. The system
had not been in effect more than a
couple of days before an ingenious
Yankee in car we'll filled with pas
sengers drove up to within a few
feet OF the bridge, unloaded all the
passengers but himself ana sent them
trottng through, duty free. Then he
drove the bus through the gate and
paid the toll for the car and one pas
senger. His passengers walked a few
feet past the gate, got aboard again,
and continued on their way.
Buses from the summer camps near
East Haddam carry scores of pas
sengers across the bridge daily, but
all of the drivers unload to pass the
gate and the passengers seem to en-
Joy the fact that they are Saving the
tax"
Meanwhile, the county commission
ers declare there ia nothing that can
be done. The bill was SO drawn that
the move Is legitimate ACCORDING to
the letter Of the law.

he should be punished as quickly as
possible; hence the statute.
Governor SmalIs term has three
years to run. He has been indicted.
If he is not tried within that three
years the people will lose their right
to bring him to justice. Moreover at
the end of the three years Cover
nor Small, having become a private
citizen, would be able to claim i'm
munity from trial because OF the
running of the statute, no matter
what claims he had made while
governor.
The decision in the case is right,
whether Governor Small be innocent
or guilty, and is one more proof Of
the fundamental justice of the basis
of the laws by which we are
governed.

THE CASE OF GOV. SMALL.


The decision OF the Sagamon
County Judge that Governor Small,
Of Illinois, is subject to arrest, despite
his high official position, is another
proof of the fundamental wisdom
and justice Of the law of this
country.
Again may be seen the basis of
plain, ordinary common sense which,
in the final analysis. Is the sort of
reasoning to be adopted when there
Is doubt of the law
1t is sometimes necessary to sep
| arate the man, the individual, from
the official or the person as he acts
in an official or representative char
acter. A man may be an executor
of an estate. His own interests may
be opposed to the interests he rep
resents as executor. Thus he, in
dividually, may be sued by himself
as executor.

a session of Congress was founded on
the theory that he was, at the time,
representative. going to perform
that case, could not be separated
from the official.
To try to make use Of the absurd
theory that 1.-THE king may do no
rorSS hA
from this country that which makes
lit this country. The ridiculous en-
ldeavor to bring such an argument
to bear ON such situation may be
Explained only by the belief that
counsel for Governor Small must
have thought the court would be
glad to find some loophole by which
delay might be brought to the aid
of the indicted man.
AS suggested by the court the GOV
ernor's order to the militia to guard
him against arrest, If made, would be
an illegal order. It would be a com.
mand to the troops to prevent the
performance Of an act ordered by
law. 1t would be void, therefore, ane
, would be as if no order had beer
issued. The only power a governor
possesses over the militia is to cal
! it out to enforce. not to prevent en-
|! forcement OF the law Were Gov
ernor Small to issue such an order
:. therefore, the head of the stat
troops would be at liberty, and j
would be his duty to refuse to ODE,
