A HARTFORD DEFENSE

The Hartford Times while admit ting that the New Haven's placards clinging to the Asylum street viaduct near the state house are unsightly. and would be liar better off in the railroad station than outside It." com- mends the railroad as showing "evi- dence of enterprise in management and opines the signs are mo worse than invitations to buy pickles and codfsh."
 The New Ravens signs may be no worse, but by the same yardstick they are as bad. There are hundreds or pickles and codfsh signs throughout the state, not to mention signs at- tempting to advertise other commodi- ties. but none near the beautiful capi- tol grounds.
 As the Hartford paper rightly points out. the viaduct itself is quite ugly, and 1t is surprising that, as Hartford paid nearly $2oO,o00 as its share Of con- structing it, no attempt was made to erect a more attractive structure and one more in keeping with increased demands of traffic. The Times adds that the span should be torn down and a larger one substituted, which 1t says probably would be done were it not for the financial reverses Of the New Haven railroad.
 If pickle or codfish manufacturer in strengthened circumstances as the result of financial reverses attempted to erect large signs near the capitol grounds he would not be permitted to do it and would not be allowed to plead his need for increased business as an excuse for the signs. The New Haven should be treated no differ ently. The asylum street bridge is no I artistic model, but looks less like an anomaly alongside the state capitol grounds without the signs than with l them.

TOO MICH ROMANCE

On serving 8 suit fer separation agsins, Frank finnsy, widely knosn comedian, his wife is quoted as saying that you can use a postage stamp only once, and guess that about describes me"
 Just about that time the postage stamp was aboard ship, ready to sail for Europe. His wife wasn't there 'o bid him bon voysEel instead there We're process servers and Miss imoEsne Wilson, who took four hours to bid the postage stamp goodbye and step ped from the gang plank only a min- ute before husky beavers lifted II and the vessel glided away.
 Another scene in this stage drama was being enacted in the ofiee of Flerenz Zeigfeld, Jr, the wizard who captures bushels of coin by sponsorinE annual editions of the Fcllies' He gave Miss Wilson her walking papers When Ziegfeld heard that imoEsns had spent four hours with Tinney aboar ship he acted quickly. I've given Miss Wilson the bsneht of every doubt up to now, but this ends it," he explained.

rRuMBuLL FOR LIEUT.. GOV

John H. Trumbull Of Plalnville, al present a state senator. is reported to have said he is not candidate to suc- eeed himself; but the Plainville elec- tric manufacturer Is not yet quoted as eaying he will not be candidate for i.utenant-governor on the ticket with Hiram Bingham should the present Iieutenant- governor be the Republican nominee for the governors scepter.
 If the Republican organization suc- ceeds in nominating Bingham it prob ably will not take tremendous bar rage of coaMng to induce the Plain- vile manufacturer to jump on the tail of the kite. Hemight be persuaded 10 lend his name to the ticket by the conjecturality that 1t would place him in line for the governorship. Senator Trumbull may be disillusioned as to the blessing of being senator, but 1t is believed he will not permit this to euide his thought as to governor ship possibilities.
 Senator Trumbull appears to be well liked by the organization. His record IS senator and as chairman of the finance committee apparently pleases J. Henry Roraback. Friends who stand high in organization councils are said to have told him they expect to see the time in the near future when they will have the opportunity to vote for him even though he isn't running for reelection to the senate. This hint is taken to mean they expect the priyilege of voting for him as lieuten. ant governor; and maybe later 1oi governor
