He is on the firing now. Will his party be back of |at the polls? That is the all im- nt question at present. The de- of Mr. Steele by such a heavy was a surprise. It was thought he would run well up with the ers, but he did not receive much than half of the vote cast for 'Wo competitors. His ally in the jpaign, Mr. Scheuy, was also beat- 'or registrar of voters, a feat no thought possible before; but we living in strange times now and unexpected has happened in re- ican politics. \ VOTING MACHINES, e machine plan of voting fell In in Hartford yesterday when for unknown reason one machine d to return a hundred votes and result there is some doubt o who ‘has been elected mayor.

It is very difficult to nything with a machine after the has been cast and counted, but being remarked when the ma- les were being purchased in New in that the agent said that they ht get out of order but if they did would neot work at all. This Int that if a machine would not re- a vote it could not be operated, t there would be no harm done. how the mistake happened in ford is hard to tell. Some seem ed to attribute it to the ma- e, others to the count as it was n from the machine, but in eith- ase it looks like a difficult mat- o settle.: Those who have been psed to voting machines will upon the Hartford case as an iment against their use. RD’S ELECTION. “glection {n Hartford was a ’Me, there was more mud Hhowever, during the campaign necessary, and the slingers ad happy today, as they would n had-they left unsaid many which must have hurt and do ot Q-Re votes off election it is unfortunate that men al- eir judgment to, be affected by nd cause them to d-n‘ mflf a personal natgre info a'cam- which have mo business there as | but which frequently cause heart- aches and do not help those who give utterance to them. It was a close contest and while Mr. Cheney has the office by virtue of his having been mayor for the past two years, it is by no means certain that the people did not elect Mr. Law- ler, his opponent. The trouble is over the operation of a machine in one of the wards where it is claimed that Mr. Lawler lost about a hundred votes. If those votes are allowed him he will be declared elected, and, if not, the election will go to Mr. Cheney. The latter is an honest man and the voters are satisfled that he will not make a claim for the office unless it is proven beyond the shadow of a doubt that he is entitled to it, while, on the other hand, Mr. Lawler is just the kind of a man to see that he gets what kelongs to' him. MAYOR HALLORAN AGAIN. .The democracy had an easy time making up their ticket last night; there was no opposition, and when it was all uver the delegates enjoyed a lunch. Mayor Halloran again heads the ticket, as was expected, and the gen- eral predictions are that he will carry the city. He has held the of- fice for four years, as long as anyone ever held it, except the late Samuel Bassett, who wag elected three terms in succession, and he points with pride to his achievements during that period. No one need ask what has been dorne; all know or should know and it makes a sound platform on which the candidate for mayor ‘can 80 before the people on election day. New Britain has proven itself to be an independent city in local elections and if it were not for that a democrat would not have much of a chance as an aspirant for public office, The republicans are in the majority but party lines are usually thrown to the winds in municipal contests and as a result the democratic candidates for important positions have repeatedly carried the day;therefore Mayor Hal- loran can go before the electorate next Tuesday with the belief that he stands a good chance of being re- turned to the office he wa# elected to in 1910 @nd which he has held con- tinuously ever, since. The democracy has nominated & pretty good ticket and the delegates showed commendable wisdom in en- dorsihg the republican candidates for treasurer and comptroller, two fine officials. GUNMEN MUST DIE, The slayers of Herman Rosenthal, the New York gambler, must dle, probably next Monday morning, Gov- ernor Glynn having refused to grant them a reprieve. The men have no friends, but it was thought that as Lieutenant Becker was going to have a new trial, some evidence might be brought out which might ‘change the npture of the case against them. Jus- tice Goff, before whom the cases were tried, gave the governor an opinion which probably hastened his decision. The justice said that even though Becker is acquitted it will not have any effect on' the cases of the gunmen. Such a decision might show' that Becker did not employ the men to commit the murder, but it would not prove that they did not do the kill- ing. All seem to be satisfied that the gunmen shot Rosenthal and further- more that they should die for it.' It certainly was a brutal murder, the crime being committed in one of the most public places in New York city. SUFFRAGISTS DEFEATED. It 'is estimated that approximately 175,000 women voted in Chicago yes- terday but they were all beaten, Miss Drake, who was opposing ‘“Bath House” John Coughlin for alderman being snowed under, so much so that his majority had not been figured up this morning. = This contest took place in the firet ward where there are many lodging houses, saloons and rooming places and the vote was got- ten out early by “Bath House” and of course they all voted for him, There had been a great deal of talk about what the women were going to do in that district but the results show that they didn’t do it. Misd Drake has had three men convicted for dealing in vice and she thinks that the conditions have become so well known as a result of the cam- paign that “Bath House” and his as- sociates will be compelled to pass scme measures of reform. The women divided on'the liquor question, and while the dry element made a fairly good showing in the outside towns in the state they did not make the sweep they exipected. Chicago will remain wet as usual but the suffragists are confident they will do bettey next time. There is evidence that money was used in “Bath House” John's district and several arrests were made. That, however, was not strange. The result was that the forces that were ex- pecled to win did win and the com- ‘Plainits of ‘corruption will' not keep anyone awake nights. FACTS AND FANCIES.

It would have meant much to her, who had been such a valiant champion of the cause of prohibition. The W. C. T. U. lost a notable leader and executive by the death of Mrs. Stevens. —Ansonia Sentinel. This is clean-up and paint-up week in New Haven to usher. in Easter the more worthily. These annual events are of the highest importance for they not only achieve what they set out to achieve, but they inculcate in us al! a love of the clean and the true. We are at best creatures of habit, and 1f we form the habit of keeping our per- sons clean we remain so; if we form the habit of keeping our homes and our yards clean we keep them clean. And so all along the line.—New Haven Journal-Courier. 3 Love isn’t the only thing to which the fancy of the young.man or the old lightly or .seriously turns in spring. Cleaning up. of house or yard is an inherited. tendency in those born in'New England.

"It inspires’ thrift ‘and pride as well as promotes good . health. —New Haven Register. : The Waning Postcard, (Cleveland Plain' Dealer.) A situation prophesied , before the craze had nearly reached its zenith is now said to'be actually coming to pass. . The picture postcard vogue is dving out. Already the corner stores report a falling. off‘in .trade; already the post office figures indicate a de- cline in the actual number of post- cards carried. A thing that has been at the same time a fad, a convenience, a popular common carrier and a com- mon popular pest is now about to take its place with the bicycle as a thing that may be used with discretion but never again made a mania of. Over the greater part of Europe it is now possible to send a sealed letter for the same price that a postcard may be dispatched. If we get one- cent postage here, the only excuse for the illustrated card will be its illugtra- tion and the accompanyfhg fact that fewer words are required as a personal message. After all, the picture post- card has catered to our laziness even more than to our feelings of economy, It has been feared that it would have the ultimate effect of making letter writing a lost art. However, the in- vention of the telegraph brought forth the same pessimistic doubts and criti- cisms; in spite of the telegraph, liter- ary people. still pvrite literary letters, ard in spite of the postcard, the two- cent stamp and the twenty-five-cent packet of note paper are still sold in larze quantities. It is interesting to note, now that the postcard is ceasing to be a fad, that it was not, as has been supposed an American invention. It was first used in Austria, where as early as 1869 a Dr. Herrmann suggested its employment. Its price was something less than one cent, then, but those who used it were allowed to write only twenty words on it. Not that the writ- ing of twenty-one words would have appreciably increased the bunden of the mail carriers;. twenty”words was the limit, perhaps, that the people might duly appreciate the fact that a government owned the post office. The Forest Fire Season., (New York Times.) Millions of acres of forest lands in the Adirondacks and Catskills are unprotected from destruction by fire because the legislature adjourned without appropriating the necessai funds. = The fifty watchmen for the observation stations and the seventy forest rangers absolutely needed to patrol the forests may not , be pro- vided. Fortunately, the legislature did pass the assembly bill introduced as No. 1,233, which authorizes the controller, upon direction of the gov- ernor, to borrow money in case of emergencies for the extinguishing of fires. If Gov. Glynn signs this bill some temporary provision may be made until the legislature meets in it extra session. But April and May are the months in which the most disastrous fires occur. It is to be hoped that the governor will not ornly sign the bill now in his hands, but will specially charge the legis- lature -when it meets to make speedy provision for the forest fire service. The system now installed under the c&nservation commission is the most efficlent and economical over oper- ated. In the three dry years of 1903, 1908, and 1913 the losses of the first two years were $846,082 and $802,185, respectively, and the cost of extin- guishing fires ranged from $153,764 to $189,661; whereas in 1918, under the new gafeguards, the damage was orly $51,446 and the cost of the service but $43,213. That is very little to pay for in- surance against great conflagrations in the forest reserve counties of this State. ©° Chairman Van Kennen of the conservation commission has set ferth the facts as noted in a letter to John G. Agar, President of the Association for the Protection of the Adirond@acks, and that society has the support of the public in its efforts to relieve an alarming situation. WHAT OTHERS SAY Views on all sides of tmely questions as discussed in ex- changes that come to Herald office. 0 Practiced What He Preached. (Utica Press.) Now and then there are exhibitions of real religion and true Christianity which stand out and compel attention and respect, in part because of their environment. A notable instance of it has been chronicled in these col- umns within the last few days. News- paper readers have stood aghast at the details of the wanton and wicked murder of Miss Beecher, the school teacher at Poland. She was brutally killed when engaged in what she.in- tended to be an errand of mercy, an honest effort to lend a helping hand to a boy whose brief career had shown its need. The father, pastor of a church in the little village of Sen- net, was summoned by the news that his daughter was injured and came’ to find her dead, cruelly killed by the hand of an assassin. The circum- stances of the case were such as to rouse all the indignation, passion and j hatred of which the human breast is capable. The villagers who knew and loved the girl were almost prompted to take the law into their own hands and in the heat and anger of the oc- casion said so in no uncertain tones. There was grave and gross provoca- tion, and if there ever were justifica- tion, they naturally thought it had been presented there and then. When Mr. Beecher heard them he counseled to the contrary, stopping in'the street to tell the ugly throng that two wrongs can never make a right, With heart bowed down and bearing a burden of grief whose magnitude can scarce be measured, the one who above all others had the right to be resentful, preached the gospel of 'law and order. This demeanor the good man pre- gerved all through the trying ordeal. There was no lack of sorrow, deep- seated and sincere. He was heavy with the woe of the terrible affliction so'sudflenly thrust upon him, but neVer once did he lose the calmness and the kindness which is the essence of Christianity. No -illy considered word, no expression of reproachful- ness passed his lips. Mr. Beecher saw and shook hands with the slayer of his daughter. Even when face to face with the assassin of his beloved he said naught that would have been out of place if uttered in the pulpit of his little church. In all his walk and ‘talk near the scene of the murder and when bearing away to her'last resting place in the cemetery at home the remains of hia child, no harsh or un- kind word was spoken. His must be a lovely character. He practices as well as preaches, and most folks find the former much more difficult and also it is met with much less frequently. It is not hard to tell others: what to do. Anybody can do that, There must be something. very substantial about the faith and the religion which will en- able a man to control himself, in the face of such facts as confronted that country clergyman. Tt was a notable and a noble exhibition that not pne in 10,000 could have given. Yet what man has done, man can do. All who stop .to think can but admire and applaud what this man did, and more particularly what he did not do. The heroes of the world did not all gain glory on the battleflelds, the martyrs were not all burned at the stake and not all the great Americans figure largely and’ at length in the public prints. The everyday oc- currences, the everyday sorrows and tragedies bring out the stuff of which men are made. A great misery that would have broken down a weak per- son or made him lose self-control un- der circumstances that would have made almost any attitude pardonable, was met in the manliest fashion by this minister who before it all and under it all manifested and put in evidence at a most crucial time all the precepts and principles of the Christian religion. There are not many here in central New York who a week ago ever heard of Rev. W. A. Beecher of Sennet, but there are tens of thousands here today who now respect him and praise his wonderful and almost unparalleled example of practicing what he preached. The Plight of Kentucky. (Philadelphia Public Ledger.) If Kentucky had made a law doub- ling the :price of a drink of whisky, it could have caused but little more excitement than has its attempt to fix the price of fire insurance. Kentucky’s solons figured out that as a large part of the insuring is done by companies outside the gtate, it would be fine business to cut down the cost of insurance. Well, any legislature can name a price for any commodity, as anybody can lead a horse to water, but may not force him to drink. Alas! Not even Kentucky can compel outside or inside fire companies to sell insurance at the low price fixed. It is very nice to have cheap fire insurance. Also very nice to have bread for one cent a loaf, eggs for five cents a dozen and beefsteak for ten cents a pound. The trick is to find somebody who will sell them to us at those figures. But while it is nice to have cheap insurance, it isn’t nice to have fire companies “beat it across the state Dborder and refuse to insure at all. That makes it unpleasant for all peo- ple who want insurance—much of whose borrowed money depends on the insurance they carry. This feature of the law is what af- fects some $80,000,000 worth of Ken- tucky whisky in bond, where fire in- surance is a vital matter. Trying to reform an important bus- iness by law in a day Is not so easy as it often looks to an ignorant legisla- tor. Any outburst of unexplainable joy these days may be attributed to the fact that the surprising discovery has been made that unintentional contri- butions have been made to the income tax.—Norwich Bulletin. WILSON MAN BEATEN- BY . 0.P. CANDIDATE Drukker Defeats 0'Byme for Coi- gress in New Jersey District. Paterson, N. J., April 8.—Practical- ly complete returns from the election in the seventh New Jersey congres- sional district show that Dow H. Drukker, republican, has beaten James J, O’'Byrne, democrat, by a plurality of more than 5,000 votes. Drukker received 10,620 votes “and O’Byrne 5,240, while Demarest, | go- cialist, is a close third with 5,063. Progressive Vote Decreases. Whitehead, progressive, received but 611 votes, a big falling off from the progressive vote of 1912, when Roosevelt carried the district by 891 votes. O’Byrne had the personal indorse- ment of President Wilson. Demo- cratic leaders, nevertheless, today as- serted that the reapportionment of 1912, which divided Passaic from Bergen and Sussex counties and made it a district by itself, left a normal republican plurality. They called the election of the late Congressman Rob- ert G, Brenner, a democrat, in this new district a personal success and accounted for Drukker’s victory on' the same ground. ‘Woods Issues Statement. Washington, April 8.—Representa- tive Woods of Iowa, chairman of the national republican congressional committee, issued this statement: “For 'the second time in fourteen years, a republican has been elected to succeed a democrat in congress from the seventh district of New Jersey. By his letter endorsing the democratic candidate the president asked the people of the New Jersey district to ‘pass judgment upon the present administration.’” The people have done so in no uncertain terms, rebuking the un-American policy of the democratic party by a vote of two to one. The small vote cast for the bull moose candidate evidences again that the republicans are united and presages the election of a republi- can congress next November.” 1 Tumulty Not Surprised. Secretary Tumulty said he expected such a result, as the district was nor- mally republican. When Mr. Wilson ran for governor, Mr. Tumulty said he lost Passaic county, which extends over the same ground as'the congres- stonal district, and Governor Fielder in the last election, likewise lost the county to the republicans. White House officials said they did not re- gard the tolls question as having had anything to do with the result. Victory For Prohibitionists. Chi¢ago, April 8.—Women voting for the first time in: Illinois township elections demonstrated their power yesterday by closing the doors of more than a thousand saloons outside of Chicago, adding sixteen counties to the thirty already dry, and barring the sale of intoxicants in approxi- mately 200 of the 300 townships in which local option was an issue. Their victory included eleven of the larger cities of the state hitherto wet territory. They were:" Bloomington, Galesburg, Elgin, Decatur, Canton, Freeport, Belvidere, Monmouth, Ke- wanee, Lockport and East Galena, Rockford, Mattoon and Galva remain in the dry column. No city nor township which was dry before the election was-lost, but the cities of Springfield, Quincy, Rock Island, Aurora, Alton, Molin, Dixon and West Galgna remained wet. Women Against Saloons. Complete returns from county townships and from more remote sec- tions of the state were not available, but detailed figures of the vote in fifty-seven townships placed the wom- en’s vote at 40,681 dry and 18,181 wet, showing that in those townships approximately seventy per cent. of the women voters favored the anti- saloon ticket. Where accurate figures were avail- able the men’s vote was shown to be about one-eighth greater than the women'’s, and to have been divided into approximately sixty per cent." wet and forty per cent. dry. Springfield, the state capital, voted wet after one of the most spirited campaigns in the history of the city, a majority of the women voting for saloons. Women Are Defeated. Although seventy-three per cent, of the Chicago women registered took advantage of their newly gained fran- chise none of the nine women candi- dates for the city council was success- ful, receiving only a scattered vote. Alderman John (Bath House) Cough- lin, who for a score of years has rep- resented the first ward, was re-elected by nearly 4,000 votes over Miss Marion Prake, a court stenographer. He re- ceived more women’s votes than Miss Drake. The vote in Chicago totalled nearly half a millfon. Out of a total of 217,. 614 women who had qualified, 158,686 voted. Only seventy-two per cent. of the men went to the polls, 328,987 casting votes. The socialist party had an alder- manic candidate in each of the thirty- five wards. In most of the wards, the socialist vote was third and in one ward, the twenty-seventh, their can- didate took second place. The total vote polled by the socialist candidates was 39,900. New Council Democratic, The new council will be democratie as it has been for’ the last several vears. Votes of the women helped deft‘at by 90,000 majority a proposition for a comprehensive subway system to cost $130,000,000. Another public policy question providing for homt rule in the regulation of public utilites was | count: succegsfyl 'by a majority. of 4,000. Five ‘bond issues totalling $8,350,- 000, for’ city departments and the Rospital were defeated by large One bond issue providing for municipal bathing beach ments was uccessful. (/s Will .Revise Constitution. New York, April 8.—Additional re- turns received carly today indicate that the proposal to hold a conven- tion to revise the constitution of the state, ' submitted to the voters at a special election yvesterday, has been carried by a majority of from 25,000 to 30,000, Commission Wins By 85. Irvington, N. Y., April 8.—The commission form of government was adopted at the special election yester- day by a vote of 787 to 702. The commissioners will be chosen at a special election five weeks hence. Minnesota Elections. St. Paul, Minn., April 8.—Prohibi- tion forces scored heavily in yester- day’s municipal elections, held by Minnesota cities of the fourth class, according to returns last last night. Madison, Marshall, Luverne and Can- by, for many years the leading saloon towns of southwestern Minnesota, en- tered the “dry” column by small ma- jorities. Litchfield, for twenty years a saloon town, went dry by a ma- Jority of forty-three votes. Gallivan Defeats Brier. Boston, April 8.—James A. Galli- van, democrat, was elected yesterday to congress from the Twelfth district, to fill the unexpired term of Mayor James M. Curley, resigned, He re- ceived a majority in a triangular con- test. The vote was: Gallivan, 8,70 Frank L. Brier, republican, 3,973; James B. Connolly, progressive, 3,692. Seidel Ts Defeated. Milwaukee, Wis., April 8.—Unofficial returns today did not change the esti- mate of last ‘night that gave Mayor Gerhard Bading, non-partisan candi. date for re-election, a majority of 6.000 over Emil Seidel, soclal-demo- crat. Throughout the state interest in yes- terday's election centered in the license question, the larger cities voting wet. Out of 57 places, 37 went wet and 20 dry. Sunday Baseball Scores. Omgha, Neb., April 8.—Laocal option elections in Nebraska, according to reports received today, resulted in 7 changes from wet to dry and nine changes from dry to wet in 140 towns reporting. No large cities were in- volved. Sunday baseball scored a victory. Fifteen towns voted in its faver and five against. FAMOUS PAINTING SOLD FOR $4,000 Art Collection of Dr. George Reuling of Baltimore Disposcd of at Auction Sale. New York, April 8.—Charles Wilson Peale's full length painting of Wash- ington, which Washington liked: so well that he presented it to - Louis XVI. in appreciation of French help to the American coldnies, was sold at auction last night for $4,000. The portrait was made after the battle of Princeton, and represents Washington in dress uniform with the blue ribbon voted him by the Con- tinental Congress pinned to his coad Louis XVI, gave the picture to Lafay- ette, who kept it all his life. John Trumbull’s famous painting of the Battle of Bunker Hill with the death of General Warren, the artist having made the sketch from an ad- joining hill while“the battle was in progress, brought $750. A portrait of Goneral Jackson by Peale, for which Juckson sat before starting on his Florida campaign, brought $725. The sale was from the collection of Dr. George Reuling of Baltimore. Chicago Policewomen. (New Haven Union.) Chicago is not too well pleased with its policewomen. They were named in response to a demand to protect women and girls from vice, Ten in all were appoiited. It is admitted that they have large feet, are not afraid of mice and can handle gevolvers, but are utterly unable to perform the sterner tasks that fall to guardians of the peace. For instance, Chicago experienced recently a waitresses' strike. The job of handling the girl pickets was en- trusted to policemen. They were 80 rough that bones were broken. Social workers thereupon held a meeting and demanded that policewomen should be assigned to keep the pickets in order. After a short experiment with po- licewomen in charge of the strike the same social workers admitted they had blundered and asked that the women bluecoats be withdrawn and policemen substituted. The police- women were too active in filling the patrol wagons with girls. The social workers asserted th4t the type ot women in the police department was not the highest. The selling of “bob™ veal is a ne- farious practice and the discovery that such meat has been sold in this city will probably be the means of keeping a sharper lookout by the au- thorities with corresponding lack of initiative on the part of the law- breakers. It would seem as if the far- mer who sells the unwholesome ani- mal were in a measure to blame but the technicalities of the law save him from responsibility. He is not sup- posed to know that the calf he sells is to be killed before its flesh is fit to eat. It is to his advantage not ta make inquiries, It might not do him much good if he did, for the truth is elastic and stretches to meet the requirements of those whe are 1in quest of a means of making money at the expense of the ignorance of the buying public,—Meriden Record.

T Salts if Backachy and Kid- neys Hurt —— Stop Eating Meat 'For A While Ir your Bladder is troubling you. When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it generally meaps you have been eating too much meat, says a well- known authority. Meat forms uric actd which overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; removing all the body’s urinous waste, else you have backache, sick head- ache, dizzy spell your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. Either consult a good, reliable phy- sician at once or get from your phar- macist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your Kkidneys will then act fine, This famous galts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is a life saver for regular meat eaters. It is Inexpensive, can- not injure and makes a delightful, ef- fervescent lithia-water drink.
