According to the .census bulletin JJust issued New Britain has a popula- tion of 50,612. This estimate is [based on information supplied by the Ibostmaster and city officials and is believed 'to be as nearly accurate as ny figures can be, except those made by actual count. New Britain has had a wonderful owth during the last quarter of a entury and the yearly increase in our hool population shows conclusively hat the growth still continues. We [do not seem to keep pace with this rowth in some respects. We are do- Ing something in respect to our hools or to be more accurate We re trying to do so, but in other ways e.are dilatory. ~We have a large oréign population in New -Britain nd it ig, with this class that the in- ase in population has been the largest.

There has been more or less talk during the last few years of the cost of graduating gowns and in some places an effort has been made to bring. about some reform, but until the school board of Oakland, Cal, fed. People who act like that can hardly expect|to be allowed any priv- ileges and so far as the house of lords is concerned they are not to be given the franchise just yet. The government has not shown itself cap- able of meeting the suffrage question or it would have put a stop to those outrages long ago, and punished those who committed them in such a man- ner as to act as a deterrent against their repetition by any one. No progress can. be obtained by force, at least not in any such man- ner as has been practised by the wom- en of England. The sethack which they have now received may cause them to change their tactics, although there isn’t much hope for it, but the longer they continue their militant methods the longer will the franchise { be - withheld from them and the less popular will bécome their caus¢l The American wohien are presenting arguments. in favor \of their case and they are making more progress than the bomb throwers on the other side. STREET SPRINKLING. The New Haven Union announces that the streets of that city are be- ing oiled, that the dust nuisance is being minimized and that the man who gets oil on his shoes and carries it into the house will soon be heard from. That is true, but the use of oil is not causing as much objection now .as it did a year or two ago. A lighter grade is-in use, it is spread under greater pressure and much' of the old- objec- tion has been removed. The oiling of streets has not been started in’ New Britain as yvet this year as there is the usual delay in obtaining the oil until later, but it will begin about June 1 or perhaps a little later. New Britain has obtained good results from the use of oil’ and it is understood proposes to use it again this summer. New Britain will never be able 0o obtain the greatest degree of satis- faction in the settling of dust on the streets until it owns all the para- phernalia and does the work itself. The first cost will be the heaviest, but after that it would be easy sail- ing and the expense would be less. This city has tried to arrange matters so that it would own ‘the wagons and award a contract for the use of horses and men alone to'be worked only nine FACTS AND FANCIES.

Every republican is neglecting an important duty unless he avails him- hours a day, the city to be relieved of the expense on rainy days. It did succeed in making such an arrange- wment, but it wae withdrawn before it could be put into operation because of difficulties that arose with the con- tractor and it was then too late to make new arrangements. That, how- ever, is no reason why it should- met be attempted again when the condi- tions are more favorable.

' Now the ‘state buys the books, feeds the scholars, examines heir, teeth, has a school physician and nurse to see that as far as possible one child has as good a chance to learn as another, and now comes the Lroposition to provide the girls with aduation gowns.

Fraud in New York City Voting. (New York Evening Post.) The last touch of moral impressive- ness has now been added to the man- date by which the people of the state of New York hdve decreed that there shalt be held next year a conventiorn for the making over of their fun- damental law. That the total vote cast was only one-fifth or one-sixth of the’ vote at'an ordinary election was known at once; that the majority in favor of the convention was not much more than a thousand, and that. apart from the vote controlled by Murphy and his machine, the proposal was defeated by a very heavy majority, became known when the official count was given out, and now come reve- lations of fraud, apparently on a large scale. That these are not mere ru- mor is solidly attested by the indict- ment by the grand jury of no less than four election officials. 1t is likely that this will be followed - by further arrests. The figures of the vote in certain election districts are in themselves highly suggestive of fraud. The hunting down of these frauds, and the prosecution and punishment of all persons who can be shown to have been guilty of them, should be pushed with all possible vigor, irrespective of the question whether the exposure can or cannot carry with it the invalida- tion of the alleged result of the elec- tion. Assuming that ithat result is to stand, a sinister light is cast by it on the possibilities of the next stcp in the matter— the election of delc- gates to the convention. It is a mel- mholy business altogether, and, un- less great care is taken of the sit- uation by the sound citizenship of tne state, the outcome, in the convention wln deplorable. self of the opportunity to give his ad- vice, support and enthusiasm to the selection of candidates for city offices who will give the city an economic, businesslike and efficient administra- tion.

(Providence Journal.) ‘The authorities of the borough with- in whose boundaries Coney Island is situated have been confronted with the ancient task of furnishing a de- rendable definition of ‘“modesty.” More specifically they have been called upon to decide when and where a bathing suit is to be considered modest apparel. The beach at Coney Island is a popular resort, and cot- tagers in the neighborhood have been in the habit of going through the streets of the town to and from their daily dalliance with the surf. Objec~ tion has been made to the common practice of wearing bathing suits, and it has been suggested to the alder- manic committee on general welfare that all bathers should be required to wear outer garments completely en- veloping their figures when passing through the streeets. So an old question, largely of aca- demic interest, has been revived. Can a bathing suit which is regarded as perfectly modest on the beach be ac- tually immodest when worn in the public streets? The question has been warmly debated at intervals as far back as the memory of most men now living can reach. The bathing suit has been a popular illustration of the al- leged fictitious quality of - modesty. Even at this late day a distinguished contemporary argues that as a com- mon-sense proposition any such regu- lation as that suggested is entirely un- necessary. If a bathing suit is of such a character as to be objectionable on the street it deserves to be suppressed on the beach as well. This sort of contention reveals a curious blindness as to the essential meaning of ‘“modesty.” Some wise man once remarked that morality is largely a matter of geography, and it is quite true that while there may be a “fundamental morality,” it is a very simple thing, and the morality of civilization is extremely complex and there is a wide variance among the standards of rates and nations. This is even more obvious in manners and customs, and modesty is an attribute of manners rather than of morals. At the root of the questiom is the point of propriety, and the question of propriety is invariably settled by the fact of conventional custom. Bathing suits on the beach, even when rather “daring,” cause no pro- found shock because people are accus- tomed to them in that particular en- vironment; in the streets of a city there would be a prevalent objection the conventions. It is quite in keep- ing witth human experience and with the rules of common sense that the modesty of the bathing beach may easily be immodesty elsewhere.

The individual who tries to live too cheaply generally makes a mess of his life and pretty often doesn’t even suc- ceed in doing the one thing that he devotes his life to doing—getting rich. If he saves money at the expense of comfortable housing, good food and plenty of it, proper clothes, plenty of soap and towels, and more or less recreation, he generally has to spend it on.doctors, hospital expenses and a bare. living during periods of inca- pacitation. It costs about so much, the best you can do, to maintain an individual in a state of health and usefulness. To live ‘cheaper is to make a net loss, The - city- which tries to' get along too cheaply generally undergoes an | experience broadly analogous to the experience of the over-saving indi- vidual. It costs about so much, the best you can do, to runm, a-city and keep it up to the mark where it isn’t creating a deficit of improvements and | modernity that will have to be paid for, sooner or later, by extraordinary sacrifices..on the part of its citizens or by that most unsatisfactory .of all forms of payment, interest on a bond issue. The community that scrimps along with little else in view than a determination to keep the tax rate down to the last notch, not only never amounts to much but eventually has to make up a heavy arrearage of up- keep, all in a lump. New London was proud of her low tax rate and -her low appraisal of property for a good many years, dur- ing which she had mighty little rea- son to be proud of anything else in her management. She has had to pay for that low tax rate and paucity of improvements by having to shoul- der in bulk all the paving and side- walk building that ought to have been done from year to year. She is still putting off for a. future reckoning day divers things that she ought to be attending to right now. Bridgeport isn’t the most unpro- gressive city in Connecticut by a good deal—in some ways she is the least so. But.even that hustling commun- ity has just had to take up the bur- den of a decade or more of cheese- people voted 2 bond issue to a million and a quarter dollars to help her catch up to her own growth. Four hundred thousand dollars goes for a mnew bridge that ought to have been built long ago, $300,000 for sewers most of which should have been laia long 4go, $200,000 for paving that should have been done before this, $200,000 for grade schools that should have al- ready been provided. Of the entire million and a quarter only one-tenth, providing funds for the completion and equipment of a high school al- ready under way, appear to be prop- erly matters of expenditure as late as in 1914, But the time has come when the city can no longer postpone the duty of providing these improvements, Its people have to produce them. So, naturally, they issue bonds. The bonds will have to be paid off, which means that, after all, every dollar that should have been spent before will have to be spent at last. And in ad- dition the city will have to pay inter- est charges amounting probably to more than the cost of the $400,000 bridge and the $200,000 worth of grade schools put together. In other words, if the city had taxed itself for the improvements in the first place it could build $600,000 worth of schools instead of $200,000 worth and be no worse off than it will now be in the end. This is a shining example of the operation of the policy of trying to run a town too cheaply.

(Rochester On May 3, 1861, York volunteer regiment, strong, marched to the railway station and entrained for the front, to engagc in the warfare for the preservation of the Union. On Saturday night last twenty-three of the forty survivors of the “Fighting Thirteenth” attended the annual reunion at the home of the son of Colonel Francis A. Schofield, one of the officers of the regiment. Only thirty-five members reside in the vi- cinity of Rochester, and seven of them were kept from the reunion by ili- ness. Rochester and its vicinity contrib- uted many officers and soldiers to the Civil war, and older residents will re- call the day When the Thirteenth regiment started for the south. It was recruited before the time when liberal bounties were offered, and be- fore the necessity for a draft arose. It was composed almost entirely of younger men, and they were, as sub- sequent events proved, genuine fight- ing men. Many blunders were mude in the opening months of the war for the suppression of the rebellion, and the Thirteenth suffered more or less from these errors, inevitable, per- haps, when a nation which has long enjoyed peace is plunged But the handful of gray-haired vet- erans who assembled last Saturday night, probably some of them for the last time, represented as brave and gallant a regiment as rallied to the colors in the dark days of '61. The veteran regiment is today lit- erally a ‘“last man” organization. In the course of a few years these sur- vivors will all have gone to occupy the “low, green tent whose curtain never outward turns.” But . their memories, like the memories of those who have preceded them to the king- dom of rest, will ever be kept bright. And their sons and their sons’ sons will ever be ready, as were their for- bears, to answer their country’s call. Hail the Fighting Thirteenth and its few but honored survivors. the Thirteenth New 1,000 men The Nominal Republic, (Cleveland Plain Dealer.) Yuan Shi Kai, president of the Chi- nese republic, is now more nearly an abgolute monarch than any other ruler of an important country. The new constitution abolishes the cabinet. It gives the president the power of absolute veto om any act of legislation. It makes him com- mander of ‘the army and navy. He has unrestricted right to declare war and make peace. The actual power of the czar of Russia or the sultan of Turkey is in- significant in comparison with that | which will be wielded by the old man of China. Under the Manchu empire thére ex- isted a bureaucracy which divided re- sponsibility and made for efficiency. Cven so strong a personalify as that of the famed empress dowager could gain no definite ascendancy except by intrigue and endless scheming. Un- der the republic all power is centra- lized in the persoh of the president. And this power is made legal and unquestionable by’ the constitution. To this end, then, have the efforts of the patriotic Chinese republicans tended. They have killed the empire, but in its place has been established a despotism far stronger than ~any that was dreamed of by the Manchus. And, worst of all, the repute of Yuan Shi Kai is not such as to entitle him to the honor of being called a “benev- olent despot.” TO SAVE EYES Is the Object of This Free Prescrip- tion.—Try It If Your Eyes Glve You Trouble, Thousands, of people suffer from eye troubles because they do not know what to do.
