SIGNS IN HARTFORD

Hartford is permitting defacement of view that is not allowed in cities that are alive to the value of good ap- pearances. Ii was only few months ago that the newspapers of Lynn, Mass, chronicIed an agitation that shook municipal and civil depart ments, and all because the Boston X Maine railroad viaduct across the main street in that city was permitted to Dc used as the background for placard advertising a veterans association. The placard was contrary to an agree ment between the railroad company and the city, Which objected 10 glaring signboard type being displayed upon the bridge spanning the city thorough fare. After the chamber Of commerce and the mayor had protested, the rail- road company promised not to do il again.
 But in Hartford the New Haven railroad Is permitted to disfgure the yiaduct over Asylum street. a short distance from the state house, with unsighty placards of large size ad- .ertising new train and urging travellers 10 use the Wiilimantic divi- l sion of the line in tras cling 10 Boston 1 The behoIdcr, after admiring the ! beauty Of thecapitol grounds the well | kept lawns and the stately trees, can ! turn for contrast 10 the scraggy rcd ! and black lettering suspended from the side of he tiaduct.
 The railroad management should exercise better taste and not despoil it's property with such unsightly signs. Such exposure of ugly lettering at prominent and beautiful spot loses good will for the company.
 The city government Of Hartford and the civic bodies who permit such desecration are at least partly 10 blame. They should act at once and urge the railroad company to restrict blatant advertising to legitimate plsces

SWEDISH PROCLIyITIEs

As was stated by Congressman Car, R. Chindblom Of Chicago at the swedish-Ameriean Republican State League here. Americans Of Swedish ancestry generally have voted the Re- publican ticket. Why this is 50 cannot be explained merely upon the ground that the Swedish race Is innately con- seryatiye. for in Sweden the electorate has been progressive and willing to try new political institutions. it being generally conceded that Sweden has one of the most enlightened govern ments in Europe,
 What causes most Irish to line up with the Democratic party in Ameri- ca? Or the Germans to line up with the Republicans in some states and the Democrats in others? Or the Italians and Greeks-who starts them voting either Republican, Democratic. third party or what not?
 Immigrants must get their first inn pressions of American politics through reading their foreign language news papers. a large number of which are published in this country, and in all probability the editors of these have great influence in setting them upon the road they eventually travel politi- cally.
 Returning to the Swedcs, it is said that they have leaned toward the Re- publican party since the Civil War, the northern cause having been ex- treinely popular In Sweden. At least, Swedish historian gives this as the reason. It sounds logical. These citt- zehs are worthy people and splendid Americans and the Republicans have every reason to fee! prouI of number ing them among thei. voters,

FIVE FIRES TAKE TOLL
 OF TWO LIVES IN N. Y.

Pyromaniac Is Being Sought As Re-
 sponsible for Outbreak of Fires
 Over Week End.
 New York, Aug. 4.-one hundred detectives and policemen today searched for the pyromaniac who started fires in five apartment houses of the upper west side Sunday. when two persons lost their lives and scores of families were driven from their homes. a'-# Y
 The police are convinced that the man who started yesterdays fires on West 103 I'd street was the same who set the fire which caused the death of Mrs. Daniel Waugh, wife of a mini ster of Watertoun, N. r., at West 92nd street last week. In all cases the fires were started by newspapers piled beneath stairways in the halls or cellars of the apartment houses
 Many families have left their homes because they feared the pyromaniac might pick their houses for his deadly deeds.

RAILROAD PROMOTION

Plehian trunk line railroads for
 years have contemplated the lesser
 lines that stretch over the map with
 tolerance or disdain, Stock brokers, al-
 though not sharing The professional
 disnara cement by ths strong or the weak, nevertheless rarely bid high on
 the stocks of the minor league lines. But along come O. F. and M. ]. Van l sweringen, master promoters who
 aseended ta their present pedestal i from the real estate marts--they were
 plain real estate deslers not even
 Fsaltors-and ignite the spark Of re-
 speet for such secondary lines AS are
 willing 10 come under their empirical
 sway. Since the Van sweringens have
 gained control Of the Nickel Plate, the
 Chesapeake & Ohio. and arc adding
 the Pers Marquette and the Erie to
 ther string of properties, sentiment toward this system Is on the upgrade, ss the financial writers are won't to
 say.
 Fasteners naturally are somewhat puzzled about railroad with a name like Nickel Plate. They are forced to wonder whether the tracks are Of nickel or whether the locomotives shine like plate. They are left with the same reaction as when they con- template name like the Grand Trunk | wondering whether this trunk line Is grander than others or whether the 1 name is an imposition. Be it said to | such as are not acquainted with the Nickel Plate that it is not considered in class with the New York Central; in fact, its speed is more like that of q first class railroad about the year 1s4o.
 But when the Van sweringens took hold of it a year or so ago, there was !, sudden squirt in all directions The Nickel Plate at least threatens to live lp to it's beautiful name in some re- spects; and the other lines of the 1o,- poo mile system that the Van swerin- gems are solidifying likewise are pick ing up wonderfully. \
 And what is Wall street saying? higher than bidding for the ; stocks of the systems being touched ,y the magic wands of the former real state dealers. Wall street usually f recognizes a winner when he projects s ,is frame over the horizon. These ( .ailroad systems have been cluttering , ID the transportation map for years without anyone attempting to promote ,ficiency into them; now that pair If wonder workers are on the job, with the Morgan firm yielding cont'- fence and cash, there seems to be ,othine in the future for these lines ut prosperity. It can be done if the fight kind of management gets on the ob. New Englanders know fully by $ his time that nothing is such blight O a railroad as the wrong kind of , mana cement. c
 After the Van Sweringens get 5 through with the middle west some- ody ought to induce them to look over i, he New England field. t
