politics as played in the city should not be so pure" as to dispense with Democratic jobholders merely to make way for Republican jobhold- CTS.
 If the Republican jobholders 10 be duly appointed were vastly more efficient than the experienced men dispensed with there would be some color of reason to the system: but as everyone knows, they will be ineX- perienced and it will take some time for them to become even remotely as skilled as those Democrats dis pcnsed with. While they are learning how to earn their pay the city will be the loser. The only gainer is the Republican machine which can say to it's. faithful workers that the jobs went to as. many of them as could be accommodated like they do in Bill Vare's Philadelphia or in any other politico community.

crowded conditions elsewhere, gam ed the street without q panic
 This would indicate clearly one of two things: Either that the fire drill in which all school children nowa- days are made efficient proved it's value during the emergency; or that the teachers, doubly efficient at the moment of peril, kept their charges within remarkable control. The teachers, who are all nuns connected with the institution, deserve un- stinted praise in either case.
 The difficulty of controlling chil- dren under such circumstances was woefully illustrated at the recent thoater fire in Montreal, where, in fact, there were few mature persons on hand to engage in the task. The fact that serious fire at St. Mary's convent could be circum vented in such an able manner with ont loss of life, even when q nun who was ill had 10 be carried down q ladder 10 the street by firemen, yields credit to all concerned in the noble work. We may hear much about the need for facing emergen- cics with keen minds and unhcsitat- ing action; what counts most is how We act at such times.

WATERBURY RIPPER BILL

In Waterbury. where there are q plcnitudc Of Democrats left to worry the managers of the grand old party, an effort will be made by the present L. egislature to change the charter so that the Democrats would not have such an easy time of it. Waterbury doesn't want this particular change in the charter. it seems. the idea originating exclusively in the fertile minds of the Republican planners.
 The idea is to provide for nine Re- publican and nine Democratic coun- cilmen; no matter how the political complexion of the city would run there would always be that number of representatives from the two parties. Tn case of a tie vote" on any issue--a contingency which it is reasonable to suppose would ire quently occur-thc mayor would have the deciding vote. IL can be seen from this that the particular party the mayor belonged to would have all the influence.
 Objection to the present reprosen, tative scheme is that a Democratic council frequently can block the de- signs and wishes of a Republican mayor, and vice versa. Personally we see no objection to such a con- tingency, especially as the more im- portant government of the United States is managed pretty much upon the same principle, and because we have a Republican president is no guarantee that the genuine bona fide grand old party doctrine can always hold sway in Congress. In Water bury, it would appear, the grand old party is more particular; it wants all the cheese, including the smell.
 The Waterbury Ripper bill would 1eCimatc the rights of the minority party in the city; it would nullify the wishes of those citizens who hap pcned to vote for the party which failed to elect the mayor. It would be another step toward the elimina- ton of whatever home rule there is left. It should not pass.

THE EJROPEAN "FLJ"

I-nioue is the service being done bv the League Of Nations to the world in tabulating the progress ot the influenza epidemic in various na- lions. This much feared scourge has acain alarmed Europe, where ln- creascs in reported cases has totalled thousands; 1t has also made itself manifest in Asia. North America so far has been comparatively immune, and the warnings from the League Of Nations should have the effect Of making us doubly cautious not to al low the epidemic to cross the oceans.
 Although the cases reported by the League are said to be of mild type as compared with the former epidemic during and following the World War, influenza at it's best is nothing to trifle with. We are some what isolated from this European and Asiatic scourge. but ships are crossing the oceans every day. 1t be- booyes the government authorities to be extremely cautious at the ports. They form our first line of defense.

Being the administration organ in New York City finds the New York lTerald-T Tribune in a continual fnr- ment to defend inc administration policies in Mexico, Nicaragua and wherever attacks are made by the bold and bad insursent independ- ent Republicans Democrats and lioIsheviks generally.
 In an article by William tIlgd ou Nicaragua in that papers Sunday edition, however, the Sunday editor failed to delete the following:
 "It Is now said that tho Meyteans are bolshevik and that when Sacasa (the Nicaraguan presidential pre- tender) took help from them if proved he was bolshevih, too This is obviously ridiculous.
 When we were fighting our Revolutionary war against Great Britain We took lots of help truu the French King Louis NNI Im that prove that George Washinltou was monarchiat?
 Sacasa similarly took help from wherever he conld get it. The MeSicans had an absolute inter- national right to give it to him. w. ourselves just recently sold arms to ebregon in Mexico against Obrcron' $ opponents in Mexico. The NeNicaus have sold arms 10 Sloasa against Slcasa's opponents in Nicaragua If IS all the same thing"

N.ADOO'S THRUST

Having been in hopes that William Gibbs McAdoo would stay out of politics, where he was thrust in 1924. it comes something of a shock to discover that this ambitious gentleman is again intent upon thrusting himself into public promi- hence in connection with the next Democratic convention.
 Being upon the water wagon-or the water truck, as it now might be termed-he has at least shown us the way he is headed. He would be- come the official dry candidate of the dry south and the dry west, and showing an eagerness to pit himself against the wet section of his party in the east and north.
 Thus the Democratic party is CUTS cd with division within itself upon the so-called prohibition issue-t,n tissue" which both parties and most politicians at least sidestep 10 the extent of claiming they believe in enforcing the law, so long as it is the law
 It would be q calamity to the Democratic party if McAdoo forced himself into the nomination through his appeal to the dry delegates with in 1t at the next convention. Tn" Democratic east would not vote for him and without the Democratic east, strong as the party may be in the south, it cannot win or furnish even an interesting election contest. McAdoo. if he has as much brains as he is credited with having, should be aware of this self-eyident fact

Un- signed requests cannot be answered. All letters are confidential Editor.
 Q, Please describe the Great Dipper"
 A. It is also called Ursa Major, the Great Bear. Charles Vain or David's Chariot and it is q constel- lation of\seyen bright stars which in the more northern attitudes never sink below the horizon and are al- ways visible on clear nights at any season. On account of the earth's rotation on it's axis the Great Dip per appears to rotate about the north pole of the heavens in slightly less than one solar day, and is therefore continually changing its apparent position. The pair of stars farthest from the handle are called the "pointers" because they point to the north star, Polaris.
 c. Are many bears brought into the United States from Canada?
 A. An unusual number of black bears were imported from Canada during the past year, chiefly for ex- hibiuon purposes, according to records of the L. s. Biological Sur vry Most of them were shipped in May and June. Ninty-seven permits for shipments were issued to per sons in four different provinces. The bears were consigned to widely scattered points in ten states.
 Q. In submitting short stories to an editor should the manuscripts be typewriter? Can you give me any suggestions as to how to prepare the manuscript and how to submit it?
 A. Manuscripts should be type written on paper about S1a by II inches with title about an inch and a half from the top and the margins not less than an inch wide. The name and address of the author should appear in the upper left hand corner of the first sheet, and the approximate number of words in the upper right-hand corner.

MORE, ON OLD AGE,

The late Governor Baldwin did so well in the late years of his life as governor of the state that for a time it looked as if men beyond three score and ten would have the pre- ference on Capitol Hill. This, Of course. refers to Marcus Holcomb, whom the Republicans put into the governors chair after Governor Baldwin was through, and who, like his predecessor. had been retired from the bench by reason of age. The result was that for T decad" Connecticut had governors who were more than 70 years of ase-a record, so far as we are aware, that was never cquaued by any other state.
 Youth can well take off it's hat when contemplating the records of aged men. When Shakespeare, in the Seven Ages of Man" excerpt, pie tured old age as q second childhood, period of reversion to babbling, and sans everything, he scarcely did the inevitable period of getting on in years" justice. Most aged men and women-arc not built accord ing to the Shakespearean model. They don't win footraccs, of course, TOT are they proficient in athletic tournaments, but they are no one horse shays of humanity. decrepit, shaggly of gait and useless clods. As rule their minds do not lack bril- liance. and they have the added ad- vantage of q certain mental poisc, Judgment and experience in the ways and meaning of life that youth, with all its impetuosity, might well envy. One need only turn to two such stellar lights as Chauncey M. Dopew and William Howard Taft: both in recent years have been talking with increasing melloWness of reasoning; and even Henry Ford, our leading industrialist no longer filled with the ambition to run a huge business alone and single handcd-leaving that largely to his son so far as details are concerned talks to better effect than he did some years ago. By the time Henry is past 70 he will be Il very wise old fellow, able to pluck Solomon-likc saws as from the wind.
 We all like to retain our youthful spirits as long as possible. and for all the practical purposes of their stations in life, some fortunate in- dividuals never lose them. Medical men are telling us that the intelli- gent portion of the human race is dudlH5 to US aNtIaSt Spdli ol llLt, and there is no reason to doubt the statistics they can quote. Perhaps that is why. during shaIcspeare's time, he was forced to pen such q lugubrious lamontation as the one referred to-one true 10 life as he knew it. when men were "old" at 60 and MGhusalehs at 70.
