Zastness Omce ®3'torial Rooms P——— ARMY OFF FOR MEXIOCO. The war feature today is that two regiments have been sent to Mexico" land the supposition is that it is a move towards a march to Mexico City where the Americans, apparently, ruust do the most important part of their fighting. It is difficult, however, to understand the value of two regi- nients numbering in all about 5,000 Ti:ere must be many times that number of men, in a land fight in Mexico. soldiers sent there if the war, such as speedy Presumably the govern- it is, i= {0 be brought to a termination, ment will more soldiers there but the ceeding with send program appears to be pro- deliberation and it is 1mpossible to escape the conclusion that the expects = that something will turn up Mexico which will obviate the necessity for further action on the part of the Tnited States toward that country. It they have had any such notion it ight as well be dispelled as the war mpirit is very strong in Mexico, the reports today being that the Ameri- can flag is being trampled under foot d§n Mexico City and the favorite song ©f the natives there is “Death to the /Americans.” This does not indicate & desire for peace. It must be apparent to every one that whatever is to be done in Mexico must be done at once and furthermore that it is not to be a sea fight but & conflict between the forces of both ecountries on land. The United States will fieed a large force in order to /conduct its campaign and the sooner they ‘get it together the better it will be for the country and the more speedy will hostilities be brought to It won’t do to bank too much £n what the rebels may do. Some say they hfive no sympathy with Huerta But there 1s no likelihood of thelr sianding idly by while the principal ¢ity of the country is being torn to pieces without entering some sort of government in an end. a protest. The longer the issues at stake unsettled troublesome will the case be for this remain the more country. RIOTS IN COLORADO. A great stir is being made over the “war with Mexico and comparatively little over the riots going on in Colo- rado, where over forty lives have been lost as against fifteen in the war. fihere is a strike in progress in Colo- 1ado and the militia has been called out to preserve order. There have keen several skirmishes and it is es- timated that fully & million dollars damages have been caused. A strike in Colorado with riotous results is not uncommon, but each time one breaks out it seems worse than the one which preceded it. It is significant that there should be so little excitement over the loss of so @any men when there is so much over the loss of less than one-half the number in another line of work. The explanation is that one is @& war with @ foreign power and such an event always carries with it the possibility of further complications which may result in a far greater loss. The Colo- rado trouble could probably be settled in five minutes with the right people at the head of the industrial wide of the case, but there is no such probability in the case of the trouble in Mexico. There are sixty-eight men wounded as a result of the Mexican affair and it may be that some of those may dle, but while that is altogether too large e list it will in all probability be increased if the Mexican. trouble spreads and spread it is likelv to do. That, however, is war and wherever there is such strife there will be blood ayl!ledm.d human life sacrificed. ' There has been a great deal of that done in this country aiready and the hope has always been expressed that there would never be " any more such struggles, but it was " pot to be and the wish now is that 4he present strife will be short lived with as little sacrifice as pogsid BEEF STEW CAUSES STRIKE. Are the chefs losing their skill, has the desire for the new fangled dishes so muddled their brain that they can no longer provide the old ones which mother used to make and which caused father to lick his chops and work with a zeal that was character- istic of the age. It was only recently that Dr. Wiley made an attack upon that renowned New Bngland dish, mince pie, and yesterday that more staple dish, beef stew, caused a strike in Sing Sing prison. Some people may turn up their noses at this action but {t really calls for deep thought and perhaps reform. A beef stew contains many nourish- ing ingredients and in this respect it is somewhat related to hash, which is made up of a little of everything and ro one who understands foodstuffs will dare to cast aspersion on that. But we ask in all sincerity what kind of stew was served in Sing Sing yes- terday that should have caused a strike among the inmates? Has the chef lost his cunning, or did he wil- fully and with malice aforethought serve a dish under the guise of beef stew and say it was the real thing? I1f he did then the prisoners were Justified in their kick. Some people are becoming so finicky nowadays as regards food that they want only those dishes that are served with green leaves on the side so as to make it ook nice while the real epicurean wants his in the old fashioned way and will kick up his heels if he does not get it. A beef stew can no more be tampered with than can a pump- kin pie. There is only one way to make either and that is the right way. There is only one formula and it should be pasted up in every kitchen. BASEBALL. Since the war started but little at- tention is being given to baseball al- though there is no evidence that the real fan is disturbed as much over Carranza's letter as they are over when Joe Wood of the Boston Red Sox will be able to get into the game. Mathewson has been knocked out of the box, Walter Johnson has been beaten, so has Jeff Tesreau and the fans are wondering what . more as- tonishing events will happen during the season. The New Britain team will report next week and on Tuesday our old enemy, Hartford, will pay us a visit. There has been nothing which gives & locali team such a complete test for skill as a game with Hartford. Wellop that team and the success of New Britain is established, but to be beaten means the widening of the breach and a greater thirst for blood than ever. Let usg hope that there will be no such result next Tuesday. ‘What New Britain wants is a good team and good conduct on the part of the players off as well as or the fleld. The city is well able to support a good team and if there is any slipup it will be the fault of the players, New Britain is large enough to create a real live interest in outdoor games, it has turned out a number of gcod athletes in the past and there is a general impression that there is plenty of talent here now awaiting de- velonment. There was a time when we had the best sprinters in the state, and it was not 80 many years ago that it had one of the best, if not the best, basketball teams in the country in this city. ‘This has nothing to do with supporting a baseball team here now, but it does show that interest in sports should not become dormant, but, on the contrary, should be encouraged. ‘Workmen and Queen Elizabeth. (New York Times.) Doubtless ex-President Taft could mention a good many things variously and highly desirable that are now within the reach of peop.e in_ what are called “moderate circumstances” —things that a few hundred vears ago were not possessed even by royal per- sonages. ‘When he had done so, however, he would still be some dis- tance from proving the accuracy of the statement, made in his speech at the Cosmopolitan club, that “the average workman today enjoys more luxuries than did Queen Elizabetb.” The average workman of today, if that meams the one who earns the average pay of common labor, gets probably less than $600, perhaps less than $500, a vear, and neither of these amounts, particularly if the workman has a family, as he usually does, suffices for buying more than the absolute necessities of life—as he knows them. And right there lies the weakness of the ex-president's contention. Queen Elizabeth had not only all the necessities of her time, but she had all the luxuries that were then available to anybody, and those she didn’t have she didn’t miss, and didn’t either sigh or rage because she had them not. The often-mentioned rudeness and discomforts that existed even in the palaces of Elizabeth’s day must have been taken as inevitable matters of course, and the sufferers from them were about as much to be pitied as were the people of forty years ago, who didn’t have that modern neces- sity, the telephone, and yet managed— we can hardly imagine how—to get along without the slightest sense of hardship or loss on that account. The fact is that “the average workman’ never adid, and probably. never will, have the luxurfes of his time. That be said without in the 1y had in mind, which is that material conditions for all are, from the mod- ern standpoint, very appreciably bet- ter than they were in the Elizabethan age. Whether the levels of happi- ness and contentment in the different social classes have been proportion- ately raised is highly questionable. Objects of eager desire are to the many as numerous and as pearly un- attalnable as they ever were. A pessimist might even insist and with some plausibility, that there are more of them now than ever and that they are harder to get. FACTS AND FANCIES. Last week’s fire in a rooming house in New York city, which cost the lives of eleven persons, is found to have started in a pile of inflammable rub- bish in the basement. How many Bridgeport cellars are there in which similar heaps of papers and other rubbish might easily cause a similar blaze.—Bridgeport Standard. One of New York’s preachers e~ cently advocated the opening of suf- frage headquarters in New York and other cities in the interests of mat- rimony. Make matrimopial bureaus out of them, was the sub- substance of his proposition- “The average woman doesn’t want a vote —she wants a husband,” the preach- er said.—Waterbury Republican. A distinguished British physician is confident that most persons could live to be a century old, if they would sed- ulously observe eighteen rules, most of them simple ones, which he sets down. It would be more important to know what they are if the import- ance of living a century were better established. Anyhow, it makes no dif- ference. For the mischief that makes short lives is generally done before twenty-five, and it is only after that that the average person begins to care for long. life.—New Haven Reg- ister, The problem of getting out the votes on election day is one with which each and every community is bothered, is no secret. Rare is the city, town or borough which does not at each election lament the lack of interest which is revealed by the great number of stay at homes. Just how to overcome it is a question which has not been successfully solved though many methods have been adopted for causing a recogni- tion of the fact that each and every elector should make the most of his privilege and that every vote counts.—Norwich Bulletin. Savin Rock has for a quarter of a century grown steadily in public favor as a place of healthful pleasure and recreation. On pleasant Sundays many thousands who work in shops and are otherwise so employed that their hours of recreation are few have found health and pleasure at the “Rock.” It is now reported to have been determined that the ‘‘Rack” shall be closed tight on Sunday—that the flying horses shall not fly—that there shall be no ball playing—no moving pictures—no place for the common people to play.—Neéw Haven Times-Leader. Some weird arithmetic is computed every spring by peope who are trying to convince themselves that they can afford a motor car. Many a man has excluded cost of storage and care from his estimates, on the theory that he tan do his own work on the machine. After he acquires the car, he cons cludes that he did not buy ‘it merely for the pleasure of manipulating oil cans. The car runs down, and a costly break results. Then he figures that he is saving money by having his machine carefully kept up at the garage. Thus he exceeds the original amount he felt he could afford to in- vest.—Bridgeport Farmer. Granting that woman is fully the intellectual equal of man, for the sake of argument that she is being kept out of her rights in not being allowed to vote, that she would prove as well qualified as the male human to hold public office and that the real brains of the universe are centered in the cqual suffrage movement, it may still be permitted to suggest that the pres- ent crisis in the affairs of the nation might perhaps as well be left in the hands of the sex that so far has had a monopoly of the experience as well as the work of ning things and which have to shed ‘all the blood that is shed, be it much or little.—New London Day. Flag Desecration. (New London Telegraph.) The Massachusetts legislature has under consideration a bill proposing a law, the essence of which should be among the statutes of every state in the Union. It would prohibit use of the United States flag or the flag of the state for advertising purposes even in connection with the cam- paigning of political parties. There is opposition to the bill be- cause of a claim that it is intended particularly as a drive against the progressive party on account of the flags used in the last campaign, and because it is so drastic in its terms as to prevent the old f: ioned cus- tom of flag hanging with perfectly ap- propriate political legendry attached. The flag is not disgraced because it is used to drape the pictures of can- didates for important offices. But it cheapens the flag to permit its use for general chromo’ advertis- ing of anything from beans to whis- key or to lend it as a specific parti- san emblem to any party which has the arro ce to consider itself the only legitimate custodian of national honor and greatness. A reasonable law, limiting the commercial and par- tisan exploitation of a sacred symbol by selfish, narrow and often unworthy purposes, can easily be framed and should be a part of the law of the land. The more precious the law regards the flag the more populariy it will be revered and respected. It is not a proper background for bill posting. The Massachusetts bill, drastic, #s it is, has gone to its third reading and if it passes will meet with wide approval. ?Mti'MLLEAN’S Reubin Berman’s Stock at 50c On the Dollar NOW ON SALE Suits, Coats, Skirts, Waists and !
