Or. Traproek's Clever Cat

"The expression, the cats whis-
kers.' has always amused me-" said
my good friend DR.. Walter f. Trap
rock, but few people know of its
origin.
1.-THE first cat to be referred to in
this way belonged to me. The whis-
kers belonged to the cat
This cat, whose name was Carrie
Chapman, used to spend hours on the
bank of the Housatonic river peering
at the stream. The tragedy of cats
life is that her favorite food lives in
an element of which she is in mortal
terror-water.
Then, one day, my cat acted so
cheerful like that my curiosity was
aroused and / followed her to the
river. There l saw an amazing
sight.
she had taught herself to fish with
her whiskers, which were long and
very strong. Her first care was to
curl them about her TAIL forming q
hook at the end which she actually
baited with a cricket, caught in the
grass. Then. lying on the upper side
of willow branch, she let her
whiskers float on the surface. 1t was
fascinating to see the lightning flash
of her paws when she had lured a
fish within reach.
Gluttony, however, was her end.
Full of fish and pride, she fell asleep
one day, forgetting to unbait herself.
A big pickerel yanked her into the
water and she was drowned. The
fish doubtless ate her. for they are
as fond of cat as cats are of fish,
though they get much less of it,"

 Aside from the merits of either Dr. Witte or Mir.

If the conduct of the common council is regulated by the ordinances the status of the Witte and Robinson cases is Identical To discriminate is to make scrap of paper out of the law. s

PICKING THE GOVERNOR

There being no election of United States nator in Connecticut this year, the office Of governor is being considered as mcriting concentrated attention by the electorate.
 The Eorahnck Republican machine, which troubles the state, is said to be who is properly suheervicnt to the dictates of the machine and stands in well as a probable servant of the party mcguls, and especially with J. Henry Roraback. the chief mogul. If elected governor. such @ satellite would represent the republican ma chine more than he would represent the people. This would not be true if the Republican convention could assert it's independence and nominate without machine 1ctation; but it re- quires I marvellous op;imist to expect this,
 If Connecticut again is to get gov erncr of tlc uneXamplcd type Of Simeon E. Baldwin the state will need to divest itself of the influence Of tho Roraback machine sufficiently 10 elect a man who opposes his notorious nul- lincr Of popular government. Tn" eight years Of Gov. Baldwin's tenure of office stand out in Connecticut as beacon lights. The people or this in- teligent state should bc able and will- Ing to wreck the Republican machine which has held them in bondage ever since Gov Baldwin left the chair.
 The Hartford Times thinks the Democratic party of Connecticut at it's convention should nominate Henry Wade Rogers. formerly dean of the Yale law school and now a judge of the appellate division of the United States court. Tho Herald is of the opinion that the Democratic party could put the state in the way of ob- taininE another governor Of the Bald win caliber by nominating Rogers. In telligent Republicans of this state would willingly desert Inc rubber stamp candidate of the Roraback ma chine in order to vote and elect q man the type of Rogers.

RAILROAD LABOR BOARD

The suit of the shop crafts against the Pennsylvania railroad, which was dismissed by the United States cir cult court of appeals in Philadelphia, reyolvcd around the authority of the railroad labor board, set up under the Esch -Cummins law.
 The court held that the railroad labor board, although it had author ity to fix wages for railroad employees, had no authority to enforce them. Most railroads followed the suggcs- tions of the railroad labor board in wage disputes. but the Pennsylvania refused to accept it's jurisdiction, al- though favoring the functioning of the Esch- Cummins act as a whole.
 The court opinion held that the railroad labor board was an instance where the machinery which con- gross set up did not work through to final decision and resulted in no pun ishment except that Of public opin- ion directed against the company. by the announcement of the labor board that the company had refused 10 obey is rulings, which were favorable to the employees.
 The facts are had the ruling of the labor board been favorable to the Pennsylvania railroad the company would have abided by it.

local commission, however realizes that it lacks the power 10 enforce it's plans which fact Is said to be some' what of a damper upon its activities
 The experiences of New Haven and Hartford have resulted because the commissions of that city and the other departments of the city government have been at odds, Nothing good can result from such a condition, The councils blame the planning eommls- sions and the latter blame the eeun' eils, charging a lack of cooperation
 New Britain has something to learn from this impasse, The one sure method to obtain value from the planT ming commission Is 10 give 1t eoopeFa' lion whenever opportunity offers This Is Mayor Paonessa's method who is an optimlst regarding the value of the planning commission,

TAMMANY AGAIN IS
 UNDER LEADERSHIP
Judge Olyany Is Selected as
 Murphy'S Successor

New York, July 15.-Tammany Hall was functioning today under the fifth leader it has had since. William Nj. Tweed, in 1867, instituted the one man leadership method of control for the famous organization. Judge George W. Olvany, elected yesterday, took over the job immediately from the steering committee which had been in control since the death of Charles F. Murphy in April. In some ways the new leader pos sesses the same qualities that charac- terized his immediate predecessor. While he is not so silent as was Mur- phy, he is known among his political associates as a man who has the cour- age to say no when it is required. His birthday was the same as that of MT. Murphy. Judge Olvany was born June 20, 1876, eighteen years later than his predecessor.
 The new leader was born on the East Side, near the boyhood home of Governor Smith. He is a friend Of the governor. As chairman of the law committee, Judge Olvany had part in every election involving a Tammany candi- date in the last five years. After his election he made it known that he would pattern his leadership upon that of Murphy.
 q expect" he said, ito follow out the same general policies as my pre- decessor. I don't know better man whose example could follow
 Judge Olvany announced that un- der his guidance Tammany would support the Davis-Bryan ticket or the national democratic party. He also made it known that he would support the Hylan administration in this city. This indicated political observers sald that his selection was in the nature or a compromise, in that his choice was outwardly approved at least by both the Smith and Hearst a1herents With in Tammany.
 Judge Olvany is an outstanding fg- ure with graying hair. Swimning IS his hobby. He belongs to the Polar Bears. and swi,ns daily, both in sum- mer and winter.
 Call Is Too Strong
 .The call is too strong to resist Judge Olvany told the executive committee of Tammany Hall after he had been escorted to the Fourteenth street wigwam by two veterans or the orcanization-a man ana "ohiai' both gray haired. Surrogate James A. Foley. had been elected grand chlet last May. immediately after Murphys ,o.+b. had accepted and then, on the advice of physicians, had declined the post. ..ou,
 "In a few days I shall resign rom the bench and undertake to carry on tbe work so capably, unselfishly ana successfully performed by Charles F.. Murphy for more than 22 years, Judge Olvany's statement continued.

sINCLAIR's rREDIcA,IENT

Harry F, Sinclair, oil magnaie and promoter, who refused to testify be- fore the senate oil committee under the spacious plea that the committee did not have authority 10 summon him. has been found in contempt Of the senate In six of ten counts by a District of Columbia court. or course. the millionaire oil man, who has since been indicted by federal grand jury, will Ale an appeal and continue courting the courts until Inc cant get any higher.
 There is small chance that he will ultimately win out, It would indeed be dismal miasma of governmental debility if a citizen summoned to testify before congressional com mittee on a matter of grave public importance, could succeed In legally nouting the government.
 Is Sinclair above or below the gov ernment?
