Unusual TerminoIogy

While we don't suppose that it escaped the attention of most Waterburians that the old fight to get Waterbury Bristol state road over Bucks Hill and Spindle Hill in Wolcott is about won, one feature of this event may have passed by un- noticed. The bill, which was sponsored by Senator George T. Culhane of this city, is not framed like most of the bills calling for new state highways. Reading it over you learn that the State Highway Commissioner is not merely "authorized" to build the new route, but is ordered" to do so.
 Where the commissioner is simply given authorization to construct new route it is possible that it might vary from the original plan and it might not be completed for some time to come. But when legislative bill specifically "ord- CTS" the official to build'a specific route, well, there's teeth in the law. The only reason we can see for drawing up the bill in this way is the fact that for many years the Bucks Hill and Spindle Hill routes was promised but was never forth coming.
 Waterbury and Bristol residents who favored it gave up all hope for it when the new road, via Wolcott, was opened up some time ago. Now hope is renewed that this shortest of all roads between the two communities and passing through sections where there is no congestion and very little mobilization once the city limits are passed will come to pass.

The set-up whereby every existing court would be district one is so far from the original intent of the sponsors that no comparison can be made We don't think we are in error when we state that in the beginning the idea was to do away with large number of small courts and to vest authority in a designated num- Der of district tribunals covering a wider jurisdiction than any of the present minor courts. Naturally that meant fewer judgeships and there was the rub. The judgeships have become such an integral part of party patronage that opposing legislation is automatically doomed, however worthy it may be.

The much-abused district court plan is fast becoming the joker" bill of the Legislature. When this session opened up it looked as if there was more chance of something being done about this court reform than there had in any of the previ- ous years that any attempt had been made to secure favorable legislation on it. But somehow or other the legislative solons managed to tangle up the bill in such fashion that not even the best efforts of Supreme Court Chief Justice William M. Maltbie could recognize in the pres ent specimen what he had originally planned. Now we understand there is bill under consideration that would make every existing minor court district court" This would enable the present presiding justices to be retained, pro- vided, of course, there is no upset in ap- pointments in the House or in the gov ernor's office if the session ends without appointments.

Too Much Work

100 MuCn WOFk
 Charles F Pace, veteran fi- nancial clerk of the D. S. senate is always talking about how busy he is. But he is not too busy to conduct an energetic under cover lobby against Q congress sional pension bill.
 After four years of effort, veteran congressional secretareis and clerks recently secure House approval of . measure illclud- ing them in the civil service pension systefil-prOvided they applied for the security and paid up assessments to date. Under the present law, secretaries and clerks of cDngressmen are ex- cluded from all government pension measures, including the Social Security Act.
 Following the House action the Senate Civil Service Committee recommended concurrence in the bill, and the way appeared clear for final enactment, when sud- denly a monkey wrench was thrown into the machinery.
 A hurried inquiry uncovered Pace secretly knifing the bill with senators. Asked by a leader of the senate secretaries why he was against it, Pace replied:
 ooh, it will be nuisance. It will pile up a lot of work on me and already have more than I can handle. I don't want to be bothered with taking care of these pension accounts"
 Under the proposal, Pace would have to make monthly deductions for the 25 or 30 senate employees affected. Besides drawing $7,O0O a year salary, plus an official car and chauffeur, Pace has 9 goo dsied staff assistin ghinn The House financial clerk, whose of- flee handles five times as much work as Faces, receives only $9,- 900 g year.

Selected Poem
THE WHEEL.

THE WHEEL.
 (Rex Hunter in the New York Sun) When Orpheus came to Tartarus and played His Tyre with sweetness ravishing, and sang How he had come to seek Eurydice Among the shades (so runs the ancient ta.e), Then for little space Ixions wheel Ceased turning and the poor wretch bound thereon Knew rest from dzzying motion while bent His haggard eyes upon the visitant Whose music like refreshing dew dropped down Upon the parched Sahara of his soul. ~ The wheel is but symbol of the world, Ixion of humanity, which cries, Cease turning, cease turning, cruel wheel!" But sadly seldom Orpheus comes again With magic in his Tyre and on his lips To give sweet surcease for little while.

The Ely boys state that they called
on Senator ShipStead and were in
Spected and visited by President Roose-
welt.
They were away two weeks and spent
10 days in camp. The return trip
brought them into Duluth Monday,
having left Washington, Saturday. The

NOU is the Time for
Physical Examinations.

Every child should have the oppor-
tunity to start to school as nearly
physically sound as it Is possible for
him to be, and now is the time to give
thorough physical examinations to all
children who will begin their school
lives next September. If this examin-
alton uncovers defects that need cor
rection, there will be plenty of time to
have such corrections made and for the
children to recuperate before school be-
gins.
Every child should also be vaccinated
for smallpox and immunized against
diphtheria.
In many communities, the Parent
Teacher association conducts summer
roundups for this purpose. There are
many rural communities where there
are no Parent-Teacher associations,
but this should not be an excuse for
neglecting this preventive program for
there are other organizations interested
in child health.
Mental as well as physical health
problems should be recognized. The
family physician may not have an OPP
portunity to become acquainted with
these, however. The happy, sociable
child should have few difficulties in
leaving home and becoming we'll adj
,juSted to school, teacher and playmates.
But the child who is shy, unhappy
when away from his family, selfish and
uncooperative, contrary and quarrel
some, will have many difficulties.
Parents, who know their children best,
should recognize these unsocial ten
denotes. They must make as many
opportunities as possible in the months
ahead for these children to have con-
facts with children their own age, and
if possible spend little time away from
the family.
There are many things children
should be able to do for themselves
when they enter school. They should
be able to dress themselves, take care
of toilet needs without embarrassment,
know their own names and also their
fathers name and address, know how
to walk along or cross a highway cor
rectly, and what to do in simple emer-
gencies such as putting out fire, meet
ing strange dogs, riding with strangers
or simple first aid.

Independent Group to
Open Chandler Mine
North and South Chandler Evergreen
Mining Company; Work With 100 to 125 Men to Start
Within Thirty Days

'"The fee-owners of the North
Chandler, Messrs. Sibley and Bradley,
and fee-owners of the South Chandler,
the Pattison estate, have signed leases
for the two mines and it is confidently
expected that operations will begin at
the properties within the next thirty
days." was the joyful tidings left with
the people last evening by Harper
Sibley, president of the United States
Chamber of Commerce, in his talk be-
fore the Ely Commercial Club and the
Ely Rotary Club at the Forest Hotel.
Mr.. Sibley accompanied by his son,
E. L. Bradley of Duluth, and Sheldon
Sheperd, county engineer, was on his
regular trip of inspection to the Sibley
mine of the Oliver Iron Mining COM
pany of which property he, with M
Bradley, is one of the fee owners.
In honor of his visit, a banquet was
arranged by the two clubs at the
Forest hotel where seventy-five met
and where the honored guest made an
address in which he told of his travels
through the United States and in sew
eral foreign lands and incidentally also
spoke of the prospects of America
maintaining its supremacy in the pro-
duction of iron ore.
He spoke of affairs in Washington,
of the Supreme Court and the in
tegrity of the men now on the bench.
He also told in detail Of the scrap now
going on between President Greene of
the American Federation of Labor and
President Lewis of the CLIO. He
thought both men were working for
the good of the laborer but felt that
CLIO Lewis was surrounded with lieu
tenants who did not know what it was
all about and were cooking up a mess
for Lewis to digest which would even
tually lead to the downfall of the CLIO.
Mr.. Sibley was very optimistic re-
garding the future of the United States
and said that "the end of opportunity
has not as yet arrived" for the country.
His address was plain statement of
facts given in plain language and COM
ing from one of his Importance in the
business and industrial world, left a
deep impression on his hearers.
The meeting was in charge of Presi-
dent Joseph Veranth of the Ely Com
nerclal Club, who introduced the
nonored guests. Mr.. Shepherd was in

nigh compliment. Mr.. Bradley also &C

he has visited on various occasions or
since the range became a factor. Both
he and MIR. Sibley have visited here
many times.
The Chandler mines have been leased
to the Evergreen Mining Company of
Crosby who operate as an independent
company selling ore in the open market.
The Evergreen company was the sue
cessful bidder for the lease of both
the North and South Chandler prop
critics. P. j. Harrison is the general
manager for the Evergreen company.
1t is understood that the lease was
made on a royalty basis and it was ex-
planned that both sides were indulging
in gamble. The ore at the Chambers
is what was left by previous operators
who took out the easily accessible ore
and left certain pillars and walls of
harder ore.
1t is expected that another thirty
days will see operations begun at the
Chandler and that between 100 and
125 men will be employed. The ore
from both properties will be hoisted
through old No. shaft. 1t is said that
the ore in the North Chandler was as
sessed on basis of $4,000 tons and that
of the South Chandler at $4,000 tons
in 1886.
An excellent dinner was served by
Host RikhuS and his assistants. Music
during the banquet was furnished by a
trio composed of Nancy King, Josephine
Shepel and Peggy McMahan.
The party is making a trip under
ground at the Sibley mine today in
company with Ed C. Bolitho, fee
owners agent in this city.
