that an effort was made to saddle S750.000 project on the state in the closing days of the General Assembly. Since certain county resi- dents have successfully withstood the efforts of the state park s1di forest commission to de- velop Sherwood Island as state park it was and develop an entirely new site. An appropriation of $750.000 was promised
 The scheme was defeated through the force of public opinion and unfavorabe newspaper comment by practically every editor in Con- nectcut. The bill creating the special park commission and appropratng the large sum was tabled. It now remains to be seen whether the state park and forest commission can overcome the opposition it has met so many years with regard to Sherwood Island. If we are to take the governors remarks as ought to solve the problem of state park without legislative interference.
 Further than this pertinent utterance Gov ernor Cross closely seconded some of the tnlnRS that Snle1 JuStlCe William M. MaltDle of the Supreme Court said last week at the convention of librarians in New Haven. The supreme court jurist expatated upon the nat ural beauties of this state. He said if anything Connecticut has been too prone of recent years to let it's scenic beauty pass by unnotlced. We didn't toot our horn enough was the substance of his statement. Along this very same line the governor said. The variety and charm of Connecticut scenery is one of its greatest assets. It is beholden to each of us to see to it that that scenery is exploited for our own benefit as well as that of visitors.
 With the encroachment by the cities to- day the scenery is being threatened. Such problems that will therefore. arise in county planning must be dealt with in an intelligent and forceful manner. It might be good time now to cali upon the Naugatuck Valley Association. that organization which was formed for the beautification of the valley some years ago. to become active in our midst. The Naugatuck valley is too scenic spot to allow the city or the industry to encroach too much upon it. We must preserve those sec tions of it that are still untouched. Our river banks must be kept undefed, just we are striving to clean up the river itself. There IS great work for the society or group that well comes it in Connecticut. We can't all shirk our obvious duty.

THURSDAY. JULY ?, 1881
New Commissioners

Three new state commissioners are officiat- ing in Connecticut toGay, Democratic in- cumbents now sit in the offices of the bank labor, and state police departments The new officials are George J. Bassett. succeeding Les ter E. Shippee; Joseph M. Tone, succeeding Harry E. Mackenzie: and former Mayor Anthony Sunderland succeeding Robert T. Hurley. While republicans may feel that the men who held these offices were entitled to be continued. they must remember that democratic governor rules the state and that the democratic party is therefore entitled to share in the appontlve offices
 The new commissioners in all cases are capable of carrying on the affairs of their departments as well as their predecessors, In the case of Labor Commissioner Tone have man who has for years been affiliated in one way the other with the labor inter ests of the state. He should place the office on higher scale of efficiency than ever be- fore. And with the plans of Federal Labor Commissioner Mackenzie known now Con- necticut seem assured of complete coverage in the field of state employment.
 Commissioner Sunderland of the state po- lice department plans no sweeping changes unless he finds them necessary. He plans thorough study of his duties and of the men over whom he will have jurisdiction. His experience as a military man and as chief executive of Danbury for so many years should stand him in good stead. He is well liked and extremely popular both in re- publican and democratic circles. We look for a continuation of Hurley policies with perhaps a few Sunderland innovations that will be appreciated by all
 Upon Mir Bassetts shoulders falls the task of carrying on where Mir Shippec left off. Fortunately the retiring bank commissioner just succeeded with legislative aid in pushing through new and remedial legislation that places the banking laws of the state on a higher plane than ever. State Senator Lewis S. Reed of this city deserves some of the credit for the sweeping reforms brought about this year. His position as chairman of the legislative banking committee plus his praoti cal knowledge banker enabled him to work shoulder to shoulder with Mir Shippee. Mir Bassett will find our banking laws on a high plane. However, we will be interested in watching the check that he keeps on all such institutions that may stray beyond their boundaries.
 Our congratulations are extended to the new commissioners tonight. We feel sure that they will be credit to the democratic party We know that the faith that Cover nor Cross expressed in appointing them won't be misplaced. The governor IS too good a judge of men 10 have made any error of judgment in bis appointments. The state can feel safe in the knowledge that able men are taking over the duties of other able men.

Protect The Animals

We feel 1t necessary to aid our plea 10 that of the Hartford Times with respect 10 the death toll of animals and birds along our highways. This is the time of the year when it is greatest: when animals are more apt to be found on the travelled roadways or cross ing them. One year the motor vehicle or state highway department took a census of the animals and birds that were slaughtered by motor cars. It was really appalling. Dogs. cats, rabbits. squirrels. ohipmunks. Skunks, snakes. turtles. and birds were listed.
 Rabbits are an easy victim to the speeding automobile. Lights dazzle them at night and they remain directly in the path of the car, Dogs and cats are more wary. although the latter are also the victims of night drivers. They have the habit of darling across road ways just in front of the car and giving nervous drivers the twltches he hardened driver of course, docSn mind thlS, lie speeds up. perhaps. when he sees some such animal trying to beat him and sends il flying to the animals paradise where roaring mon sters of steel are never scen
 Many drivers could avoid the animals that happen on to our highways. but somehow or other ruthless spirit crops forth every time
 
 and they deliberately try 10 run over it. l he same is true of turtles crossing the road. How easy it would be for d car 10 pass over the old hard shell without touching it with a wheel If it was a horseshoe with nails protruding there certainly would be an exhl- . bition of fine driving. but not if 1t IS some animate creature,
 Of course the ma ority of animals that are killed are done so unintentionally. Birds. for instance. fly against windshelds or the body of the car and are tossed lfeess to the pave ment where hundreds of revolving rubber wheels soon grind them into dust. he same is true with other fast moving animals like the rabbit or squirrel. They cause their own deaths too often. But just little more care might save few animal lives this summer After all they serve distinct purpose in this world. Why should we end it prema- turely'

No Glamor In Gangland

Some very good talk about gangs and gangs,ers was broadcast the other night by U. S. District Attorney George E. Johnson of Chicago credited with getting Al Ca pone. lie pitilessy stripped the glamor from gangland and showed something moro glam orous for American youth. There are three things that happen to gang members with certainty he said always disgrace and then Imprisonment or death.
 "Al Capone will probably be the last we'll advertised gang leader in Chicago and, l hope. in the United States. Every large American city has men who arc the local Capones. For all of them we can read the handwriting on the wall. Civilized society cannot endure gangs or gang warfare The moral conse quences are too great. We should never lose our interest in this thing, but we should treat organized crime as we treat smallpox and yell low fever, and have the same interest in 1t. and no moro.
 When you deal with it at first hand you learn that it is ugly and sordid. he persons who profit from organized crime for short timc and give expression to their illicit profits in gaudy clothing and flashy cars, exist only as butterflies. Their life ends in disaster and they pay the highest penalty for their mls- deeds In America we have today gigantic enterprises. great inventions and scientific achievements which inspire and dazzle. In all of this there is the lure of real adventure and romance
 He spoke also of the possibilities which l'e not in beating the government. but in serving the government wherein may be found careers far more gamorous than anything the under world can offer.

New York, July 2-Typical of the New York that has little to do with Fifth Avenue, Broadway or any of the widely advertised arteries is the information that Maxie Dicls Is go- ing back to Poland to distribute part of his fortune among old boyhoou friends who have spent impoverished lives.
 Max Dick is the "mayor of Riv- ington street"
 Those "locality mayors" are all institution native to Manhattan. There are mayors" of China town and of Yorkville and a dozen
 other sections, They are not elected.
 Like Topsy, they jest grow" The locality" mayor Is sort of minor | potentate to the dozen and one small
 towns that make up the bigges town. Each one has a population as dis | tinct as the population of 6 suburb.
 Park Avenue has little in common | with the Bowery. and barely speak 5
 the same language. TO be sure there are folk in Park avenue what gradu- | ated from the Bowery belt; and | there are hungry men in the Bowery who disintegrated from Park Ave- nue.
 But there are neighborhood prob- | lems and neighborhood squabbles ! and neighborhood politics-and the | locality mayors must keep 6 sharp | eye on politics!
 Generaly speaking. a locality | mayor" Is prosperous citizen of
 his district, and n most loyal one. Amusingly enough, the mayor" of | what appears to be a Jewish section | can. often as not. be Irish. Well for inStnnca. "A hep Ea pip
 Is mayor" of Hunts Point and has been known to produce a dress suit | If the occasion demands. Angelo RiZ- 70 Is mayor of Mulberry street." Herman Zeller Is mayor of Chrys- tie street." Dr Sam Wagner is
 mayor of Avenue B." And stitches" Mccarthy rules ] over Grand street, which Is as kosh- | CT as it is Irish.
 | lazy Einstein. who was one of the famous team of prohibition officers | to attain national distinction in the | early days of raiding, now Is ma yor of Ridge street." Billy Marcus Is "mayor of Anne street."
 John Leppig. who holds the title | on Avenue A. is product of a sort of "Abie's Irish Rose" situation. His ] mother was Irish and his father 1 German. Such marriages are more
 common in the old Ghetto belt than
 our modern anti-melting pot lead
 CTS realize.
 Isador Pinkowitz, who ordinarily | Is a prosperous maker of kosher
 sausage is mayor of East Broad
 way"
 The list is long. And the members
 of the Locality Mayors Association
 are from the stock and the sections
 that keep the rest of New York go-
 ing round.
 | Visitors, and even residents of
 Manhattan, are inclined to overlook
 the millions represented by these To-
 cal mayors" This is not the great
 fiashlight parade that makes up the
 great white way" This Is the New York that has worked up from the
 gutters into the very skies. | Don't fool yourself-Broadway
 has built no skyscrapers! These modern monuments that attract the attention of the world
 have been built mainly by men who came out of the nowheres of the
 world.

 Al Smith, whose Empire State Building rises higher than any other. came from the sidewalks of New York--as all the nation knows. A whole chain of buildings in the gar ment section and dozens scattered over the town can be credited to eX- newsboys and office boys.
 So it is that when the "mayor of Rivington street" goes back to Gus ova. in Poland, with some $25,000 in his jeans for old playmates who are hungry now, there Is more than passing excitement in a street dedi- cated to colorful pushcarts and side walk merchants. And messages from g. transplanted population go with him to be scattered along his line of travel.

JUDICIAL DAMPNESS.
(Hartford Courant)


 A friend kindly gives up pho- tostatic copy of bill presented to the Superior Court of Connecticut by Samuel Penfeld, Innkeeper. for food and sustenance furnished Jam uary 16-26. 1793. We judge that Innkeeper PenfieId furnished meats for the judge and varying number of lesser court officials. It is in- teresting as throwing what the off, cials ate and drank. especially the latter. almost 133 years ago. The account, given in English money Is as follows:
 Janna 16, 1898. To pint brandy Botel Medary, o 10 0 To 6 Dinners at 2-6, 15; to brand tody, 6.
 IF. To pint brandy & botel wine. 10. to 2 dinners 7-6. To todey 1-6.
 IS, To pint brandy & botel wine, 10. To 8 Dinners, %
 19, to pint brandy botel wine x M pint gin 11-6. To philip Is, to 6 dinners 16-S
 20, To pint brand & botel wine 10. To 5 dinners 12-6.
 22, To botel wine pint brandy 10. To 6 dinners 15
 23, To botel wine x pint brandy 10. To dinners 1 6 to philip Is.
 14, 10 DOtel wine x pint DTdHuy 10. To z dinners 17-6.
 26, To botel wine and pint brandy 10. To dinners 15.
 The prices were modest, and the drinks. so far as we can learn. did not very greatly, except for the ap- pearance of philip" on two occa- sions and a half-pint of gin on one. and what was half-pint of gin among so many? We may assume that the emergence of philip" spelled flip" no wbut never used, was due to especially cold weather, wherein the court officials felt that 1t would be healthful, not to say comporting to drink.
 And. purely through curiosity, we wish we knew a little more as to those unvarying pints of brandy. Was 1t cider brandy. distilled somc- where in Connecticut, or an import. ed type wherein cider did not figure It Is useless to inquire now. On feels that His Honor and the cour officials found life in 1798 not a. together dreary.
