It “safd, for instance, that the Herald seemed to be under the {mpression ithat the towns are affected by the action of the board of equalization in increasing the grand lists only when thestate tax is paid. -It forgets, says the Times, that the county tax is | lewied' on the grand lists of the towns 8§ revised by the state board of |squalization.

The argument is over\the state tax and nothing else. e Times then asks this question: “Does\ the Herald give sound advice fhen # advises the representatives emators to ‘refuse to vote for a axiin the future?’ It would have lven: more sensible counsel if it had lurged the' members of the general as- mibly to avoid the legislative ‘action t',makes it necessary to impose a The: Herald has given that advice peatedly, given it the same as have r papers throughout the state; the filature has pald no attention it andsthere has been no paper that 55 been any more severe on that body for its extravagance than has the (Hartford Times.

The'test came ves- | terday when the mercury galloped up | to, some say, 92; ‘smashing everything : for May. ‘tor several years, and at the ‘ same thfie wéjsvere advised to eomsole | nnr-quqi with the knowleage that 1t Was faur gegrees below freezing at Flagstafty ‘Arizoria and that at Vera €fuz the mercury registered 102. Those figures do not help around nere | along a cool summer and business men had ‘ some | except to keep us advised that thers | I are some people worse off than we are. It was hot today and the pro- phets say it will be hot again to- morrow, but there will be some relief on Friday, so that we must do tne best we can until then. People need to be careful of their food and drink during the hot spell, although it is not necessary to iay down any hard and fast rules to be observed. Some can quench their thirst with frequent visits to the beer shop and still be happy, while otners will pin their faith to lemonade and yell for a doctor. It is a good plan, however, to exercise moderation, to bathe as often as convenient, to les- sen the sufferings of the animals that are obliged to work in the sun and to be sure to prevent dogs from run- ning after teams on the streets, These simple requests if heeded will bring comfort to many during these hot days. WHITE SUITS AND HELMETS. Just as soon as the order can be filled, New Britain will have moved up another peg in the social scale. Up to the present time the street cleaners have not been distingished from any other class of laborers and as a result there has been more or less confusion on the public streets. ‘Motorists have almost run them down withqut warning and since the com- pepsation act went Into effect and the city has had to be responsible for ac- cidents the corporation counsel has been on the verge of nervous collapse because of the' numerous narrow escapes of city employes and it has at last been decided to distinguish them from the remainder of the workmen. The board of public works has de- cided to provide the street cleaners with white sults and helmets which they will be obliged to wear while at work. This has been declared to be a natty uniform when worn, and no one can then claim that they d6 not know who they are. This is really the first innovation under the new administra- tion. Tt Wwas not provided for in the platform, but that is no reason why it should not be established so long as its need has been recognized. When viewed serlously, however, the idea is based on good judgment, for with such a uniform the street employes can be easily recognized and confusion and ac- cidents avoided, This is the custom in most cities and what has been de- clared as advisable for other places ought to be good endugh for s until we can find uomthh! be(ter _— . ROOSEVELT TO ATTACK WILSON. Colonel Roosevelt is himself again; he has told a Washington audience where the River of Doubt is located and has warned the public against rais- ing any questions as to his work as a discoverer. Under the caption: ‘“Here ‘We Are Again” the New York World prints a cartoon of the colonel beating a bass drum and making announce- ments through a megaphone at the same time. He is apparently standing outside a circus tent upon which are placards bearing such inscriptions as Discovered by An Ex-President;" “They| Great Man-eating Fish, the Only One in Captivity;” “No - Democrats Ad- mitted; Republicans Half Price,” and “Reserved Seats for the Great Mo, san ‘Tnterests.” The World says that nothing sl be permitted to interfere with - thl colonel’s attack -on -President Wilson next Saturday, and it adds with a fine bit of sarcasm, that having been away from home for several months with- out access to newspapers or Mather sources of information, the colonei is 2 man providentially ordained to de- liver final judgment tpon a president who during that period has had to grapple with problems more -serfous than those tha# have confrofiteg any of his predefessors since’ Abrahgmy Lincoln. » e colonel,-however, “is !{,,; great pofitician and hey, fous to begin his campaigit Thege nged-be no doubt o utmuaj:m be in 1916; he is b ing now.

The good effect of a saner obser- vance of the automobile laws was clearly observable in this vicinity on Sunday. Perhaps the numerous ac- cidents here in the past, together with the very evident determination of the authorities to probe rigidly every killing and to punish every violation of the law, have impressed even the irresponsible and reckless. At any rate, the'day of heaviest traffic was notably free from accidents; a very moderate gait was the rule of the road, and violators of the law were auickly suppressed.—Bridgeport Tele- g&ram, Connecticut suffragists, ag the time of Mrs. Pankhurst’s last visit here, proclaimed vigorously that they did not endorse her militant method, al- though they sponsored her visits to Hartford and other places for the pur- pose of speaking and collecting money for use in prosecuting the campaign ‘n England. Connecticut suffragists, therefore, have the satisfaction of knowing that while they qo not he- Heve in violent militantism, the dol- lars they contributed in a measure at least, made possible some of the outrages which have been perpetrated in the last few days—Hartford Post. In view of the possible increase in the grand list of the city by the state board of equalization it is for- | tunate for Hartford that there will be no county tax levied this year. An increase of $20,000,000 in the grand list will mean a large ad- dition to the expenses of the city by the state tax. The increase woula be quite burdensome if, in addition to the state tax, there was a county tax to be paid this year. The state tax and the county tax are leviea on the grand list as determined by the state board of equalization.— Hartford Times. One of the curious features of the growth of the motor vehicle and the gradual elimination of the horse and of the changing of the stable into the garage is its effect upon the fly. Filth and stable litter help breed flles, the passing of the horse as a factor in pleasure and business is driving the fly from his accustomed haunts. This is_undoubted, but there is no excuse now fhat summer is at hand that the great war against the fly of last year should not be revived.

WHAT OTHERS SAY Views on all sides of timely questions as discussed in ex- changes that come to Herald office. . Pertaining to New Britain. (Hartford Cor., New Haven Union.’ The republicans of New Britain by their recent victory have demonstrat- ed the efficiency of organization. In many respects their victory was re- markable. Their candidate for mayér had not the confidence of the con- servative wing of the party. He was nominated against their wishes. But their opposition to him ended at the | caucus. They did not carry it tp the polls. In this they showed a partisan loyalty which is to be commended. Some of them were the most enthu- siastic supporters of the candidate for mayor on election day. The repub- lican plurality was too large to be representative of the numerical strength of the republican party in New Britain. It represented effective organization and democratic dissatis- faction. Since the election in New Britain the republicans of Hartford have been studying the organized methods of the organization in New Britain. The republican party here has benefited by the study. The re> publican organization in this city has | been defective for some time past. The party has been faction rent and no one has thought it worth while to make an effort to bring the factions together. Two years ago there was a truce and the election of Mayor Cheney followed. But it was only a truce. It was not a reconciliation. In the Republican club and in places where the affairs of the re- publican party are discussed sympa- thetically the methods of the New Britain organization have been com- pared with these of the partv here and the comparison has shown the defects of the latter in all their stu- pidity. It may be said that the elec- tion in New Britain and its results have attracted the attention of the enire sae. Democrats and hepubli- cans were taught a lesson by it. It can be said that the democrats of Hartford are sensible enough to see in the lesson taught by the New Britain republicans many things which they can learn and practice to the advantage of the democratic party of this city. The condition of the democracy in this city is sadly lacking in many of the elements which make for success on election day. There is an absence of harmony. Unity is es. sential to the success of any party and when this {s wanting defeat is always certain. New Britain republicans closed their ranks when they went into the contests and acted with a sin- gle purpose *it was to bring vic- tory to. thel They acted on the principle that, hsr them, the dem-, ocratic party, existed only to be ‘de- feated. The; demlocrats of Hartford’ have in Mayor Law! one of the most capable executiv e municipality that the city has! had and he is of the highest pe: 1 oharacter. He has demonstrated ififhis message that he has progressive ideas of city gov- -J*ernment and that he knows his Hart- ford. It is the city of his birth and he has lived in it all his iife except when he was at college. It is not to be expected that his admipistration will please all the people in every par- ticular. But the criticism of his acts from democrats should be influenced by a candid recognition of his desire to give the city the best possible ad- ministration. The democrats of Hartford should not forget that in a few months there will be a state elec- { tion and that the result of it may de- cratic ticket. This will suggest the necessity of unity. The factionists in the party should prove that they are 1 loyal democrats first. Old Houses in New York.

It is npt e of the famous relics, like the*Jumel mansion, and now it has the background of a gas tank. The Jeremiah Towle house was built before 1795 and may be found near the end of the Queens- boro bridge at Sixty-first street. 1re t was originally the stable of Peter Van Sant's manor house it afterward became a popular tavern, and in 1830 the residence of -Jeremiah Towle. Only three bloeks away is the-Scher- merhorn farmshouse (1747) at the foot of East Sixty-fourth street and near Jones's wood A little furth, cn, at” Fast ffver park and Eighty- eighth street, dne comes upon the fine o1d mansion king the waters of Hell Gate, ' Archibald Gracie s Philippe, the exile, other | pend on their efforts for the demo-| | lattons. and played host to Washington Irv-| ing, who called the great ship owner | “an old gentleman with the soul of a prince.” So well preserved is the Gracie mansion that its age—it was | built before 1800—seems like a de-| ception. The Jumel mission, at One Hun- dred and Sixtieth street and Edge- combe avenue (1765), which Wash- ington used as his headquarters for several weeks in 1776, the Van Cort- landt mansion in Kingsbridge and the Ferris house in Westchester village, where Mrs. Ferris cooked unwilling- | ly for Lord Howe, are conspicuous | landmarks; none of them look their | age, although they do look their his- | torical distinction. ‘The Dyckman house (1783) at Two Hundred and Fourth street and Broadway, always a humble domicile, has a far greater | aspect of venerableness; but it is to the confines of modern New York | that one has to go for the very oldest | remains; “the Schenck-Crooke house | (1656), on Mill island, near Bergen Beach; the Bergen homestead (1656), on East Seventy-second street, Ber- gen Beach; the Bowne house (1661), Flushing; the Moore house (1661), Newtown; the Wyckoff house (1664), near Canarsie lane, and the Jan Dit- mars house (before 1700) at Flat- lands. Most of these old dwellings are delightfully picturesque with their slanting, overhanging roofs, but to- day the grounds about them have a primness difficult to associate with the time when they were outposts in the wilderness. Staten Island, still dark to most Manhattanese, contributes some rare specimens to the list: The Billop house (1695), at Tottenville, full of historical memories; the Perine home- stead (1713), at Dongan hills; the Kreuzer Pelton house (1772), at “The Cove,” West Brighto: and the Christopher house (1776), at Willow Brook. A pilgrimage to the ancient houses, some of them dating back almost, to the palisade on Wall street, 1653, with the brochure of the bank of the Manhattan company in hand, would liberally repay anyone who has reverence in Hls soul. The start should be made from the canyons of the skyscraper district. Pot and Kettle, (New York World.) Mr. Mellen revealed the generation of railroad men to which he _belonge when, after speaking of v‘fla pay- ments. which he had made state capitals for “protection,” he said: “It the legislatures would meet only once in five or six vear, 'thefghrailroads could make some money. Like some other remarks by the former president of the New Haven company, this was intended to be humorous or satirical. In point of fact, it was a confession which ex- plains many of the difficulties in which railrglid property in this coun. try has befome involved. The legislatures are largely what railroad men have made them. Ir they are corrupt, it is to some extent because eminent railroad men have shared in their corruption. It wag not until the people themselves intervenea that the vicious old practice of Issutny passes to public officers was abolishea and railroads forbidden to contribute to campaign funds. It was not until the people themselves asserted their power that rebates were outlawed. It was not until the people themselves condemned the custom that lobbyists disappeared and railroad lawyers and agents ceased to stand regularly as pamy candidates for the legislature In “sure” districts. Who ever heard of the exposure ot a corrupt legislator by a railroad man? What railroad company in America ever spent a dollar to de- nounce and punish political graft? What is the name of * the railroada president who, asked for bribe money, refused and prosecuted the legislator who approached him? If the railroad men would keep away from the legislatures for five or six years, the people might be able to regain control over their represen- tatives. The Last of Spring. (Cleveland Plain Dealer.) It is a mistake to hold that the beautggof spring has passed with the passing of tRe early wild flowers. There,is, perhaps, not quite so strong an incBative to go to the woods now as there was when the first hepaticas were to:be sought or when the tril- liums 'e.at their height of bloom. But tl est spring woods are none the les®delightful, am‘ampl} repay the effort of an afteryoon’s stroll. . The trees themselves are enough to fnake the forests a paradise. All ex- zzpt the dogwood, have passed the owering_seasen,” but their foliage is more fdl now than it-will be at any | . The leaves have a fresil' clean, green, npt shriveled by summer Reat or soiled by dust accumu- The shade is as dense as it is in mid-summer, and the spring air is far more agreeable than the torrid heavy atmosphere of the later months. - The brooks are shrunk to modest Size, but they have not yet become mere dry beds with occasional stagnant scummy pgols. + There is still lite and activity everywhere. The growing season is not past, but It is neating ‘its end. i Of wild flowers there are plenty to compensate for the lack of the earlier blossoms. The muianthemum is as dainty and pretty as anglily of the valley, and it is:plentifuli, With a little diligence shqwy ‘orchids can be found in m@f the déeper woods and this alone Wepays an afternoon’s search. Crafesbill and wild phlox spread’ great masses of color in the more open forests, while many" sunny banks are thickly strewn with bluets. White, waxy mandrake blossoms are everywhere; ‘Jack-in-the-pulpit is as abundant and saucy as ever; there are miniature groves of the whimsical wild ginger. The foam flower covers the slapes of the ravines with little drifts of flufffsnow. The commoner violets are becoming less common, but there are plenty of the long-spurred violets and Canada violets, more attractive because more unusual. All the summer birds are singing their best songs. There are bobolinks in nearly every open field. In the woods there is a great variety of lit- | tle brothers whom one need not iden- tify to enjoy. The lucky wanderer may by chance encounter a scarlet tanager, most beautifu] of all northern | birds. Or he may be rewarded by the fine musical performance of some | ruminative cat-bird. It would be well for the city man who is not a habitual-woods wanderer to go out just now 2nd discover what he has been missing. - Life, work and the world will seem better to him. The Colone} a Little Older. (New York Times.) To explain why he undertook a journey: as difficult and dangerous as that through the Amazon valley, Col. Roosevelt says he realized that if he were to do anything real and big in the line of exploration it was time for him to be apout it. Then he added characteristically: “Perhaps 1 had passed the age a little—but I put it through.” Of course, we all know that the colonel has been engaged in assorted activities for not a few vears, during which he hasn't been growing young- er, any more than have we who have watched him with mingled emotions, but unwearying interest. It is as hara now as ever, nevertheless, to think of | him as an old, or even an elderly, | man. Like that other grandfather with whom he has so often been compared, the kaiser, he has carried the impression of youth well along in- to middle life. But for both the inexorable piling up of summers and winters is going on, and it is a little late for either of them to attempt tasks that demand all the vigor and recuperative power of the third de- cade. But the colonel did _“put it through,” in spite of fever and wounds and semi-stacvation. He has his great river safely bagged and further fun in prospect when he comes to answering those who have been rash enough to question the reality of his latest achievement. Alfo his own confidence in his complete restorafion to health will bg shared by the rest of us. Still, it is time for him to begin to be careful. Not ‘too careful, of course, but careful enough. The Small Colleges. (Providence Journal.) Professor Arlo Bates of the Massa- chusetts Institute of Technology, who was graduated from Bowdoin colege in 1876, is of the opinion that the Maine institution should deliberately restrict its numbers, carefully sifting candidates for admission and teaching them in small groups instead of by the Jecture system. He savs: “The fu- tility of lectures in education except for occasional use and with students well advanced technically is coming to be felt evetywhere.” And again: “Th fashign of the superficial is to treat educ if it were purely a man- ufacturimig basjness; and heart-break- ing foolishness about Increase in ‘num- bers, ‘the poor economy of duplicating the plant,’ and the rest of the com- mercial slang which has taken the place’ of intelligent consideration of educational issues, is the stock-in- trade of the modern ‘progressive’ in education.” There is certainly something to. be said for the small college and against the mad rivalry for numbers that exists in some quarters. On the other hand the promoters of large colleges and un- iversjties can argue that it is their bus iness“fo extend to as large a propor- tion gf the community as possible the benefit§ of the higher learning. They mightiselly, also, that there is a sort of intellectual exclusiveness, to put ne worse name upon it, in the proposal to sift students-carefully and take only the best Rl ProfessopsBatés, of course, would not deny the bility of extending the ad\'&n(ug*‘u college education to as many ng men and women as are prepared for it; but as for Bowdoin he belieyes that its proper future lies along the lines laid down at Willlams and to some extent at Amherst—that it should be kept one of the smaller institutions of collége rank in -New England, as opposedi®o those others whose destiny appears to be to ex- pand far beyond their old numerical limits. May it not be sald that there is room for institutions of both these kinds, and that, -indeed, we could not afford to dispense with™ either? song to a Girl (Baltimore Sun.)
