It does no harm to say at this time that Mr. Robbins was more than sev- en years old on his last birthday ana that he looks and acts his age. He is a member of the state board of ea- ucation, talks' politics between his studies and has never been known to divulge the nature of the conversa- tion to others. He is very particular on that point. He is pretty well posted on the subject of education, however, and if Mr. Folk wishes to acquire some interesting information on such matters and learn how he meets scholars at the capitol during the time the general assembly is in session he will engage in a heart-to- heart talk with Mr. Robbing and as the Telegraph appears to be Interestea it would be a good plan for'it to have A man there to hear what is For a time Mr. Mellen would be for- gotten.

The convention will nominate state officers and for the first time in the history of the party, select a candidate for United States senator. Prohibition is not a question of serious interest in Connecticut yet, but it is likely to be some day and judging from the importance of the question in somse southern and western states. (‘onnec- ticut may soon have to face the issue.’—Bridgeport Telegram. My, what a time there will be in Bridgeport, New Haven and Hartford and as for Waterbury it will be nec- essary to call out the militia to keep the hoys in the line leading to the ballot box when the vote is being taken. 1t was only the other day that the Democrat was denouncing the methods of the state police who have been employing stool pigeons in an effort to prevent the thirsty being supplied seven days a week, while it is impossible to refer to the sale of intoxicants in the southern cities without thinking of Mexico. New Britain has had one year of no according to the best issued license and, evidence obtainable, it will never have another. It may be recalled that 2,000 people followed one of the teams of the Adams Express company all over town one evening because the wagon contained one keg of beer and the populace was wildly excited as to who was going to get it. A couple of policemen drove in the procession and when the company was unable to land the goods it brought back the keg and the police were busy keeping the crowd away from the express of- fice, The majority of the people of this town are against a repetition of that parade. Some of the dealers were resourceful during that mem- orable period. Beer was drawn from chandeliers, holes in the wall, and when one raid in particular was made the police came near tearing down the house, pipes being found to run in every direction, and when the machinery was finally loosened thers was a gentle flow of beer from all quarters. These were stirring days and there is no desire for their re- turn. If Connecticut should ever have prohibition there will be much suffer- ing in Bridgeport. The New Haven road will be obliged to run a wet spe- cial to New York at half hour inter- vals. COMMUNICATED. Objections Made to Cannon on Cen- tral Park. Apropos of a gun having placed on the south end of Monu- ment park, in the center of our city, some thoughts arise of the fitness of this and of memories that recall the pall of war that shrouded our land fifty years ago. I its presence is an inspiration in any way to the veteran soldier who wore the blue at that time; if it brings a thrill of pleasure to his soul, if it quickens his heartbeat and re- news his life to further devotion to his country, If his face is made to beam more radiantly with hope of further glory and honor, then I would respond with hearty accord, amen and amen. Otherwise it seems to me an un- suitable setting, not at all in har- mony with the atmosphere of environ- -ment. This beautiful plot was brought to its artistic completeness by the thought and skill of the hand of man, and adorned by the finger of the great Creator With a verdant car- pet of green and the leaves on the sur- rounding trees, which come into full verdure each returning Memorial day. From the center of it a monument is raised to the everlasting memory and honor of those men who sacri- ficed so much in '61 to '65 that the integrity and life of the nation might be preserved. To complete this memoria]l been the said. | Angel of Peace is the crownirg fig- | ure, with outstretched hands offering a perpetual benediction of peace and sood will to man Do we not accept the spirit of Him who said “My peace 1 give unto you, not as the world giveth” as of greater moment than material ve- hicles of death c#eated by the cynning of man's hand? 1 think we do While the victory of these men was wrought by strife, bloodshed and death, it does not seem to me wise nor fitting to erect engines of terror and destruction to their memory, nor as emblems of patriotism to inspire our youth to emulate them in this place, the realm of silent memory and of the Angel of Peace.

Miss Pierson's complaint about the press is really condemnation of the press committees of the rival women organizations, since most of the stuff on both sides printed by the news- papers is prepared by the suffrage and anti-suffrage bureaus.-—Water- bury American. A law just signed by Walsh maintains the presumption that a person who steps off a side- walk in front of an automobile with- out looking whether the road is clear is exercising due care. Nevertheless, he is not exercising enough care to keep out of a hospital.—Norwich Rec- ord, Governor This fs the kind of weather when you should be careful what you eat.

The advocates of eugenic marriage, those persons who belleve that men and women can be mated like prige cattle or horses, with equally satis- factory results, have come a cropper.

A Long Seashore City. (Newark News.) Slowly, but systematically and sure- ly. popular sentiment along the New Jersey coast is being developed into a movement for the consolidation of ten or a dozen cities and boroughs in- to one long municipality. Not much noise is being made, for there are many obstacles in the path of such a movement but recent events are taken as suggestive of what is coming in the near future. Beginning with Long Branch with its 15,000 population and going southward as far as Spring Lake, there are ten or a dozen dinerent cities and boroughs on this coast. Asbury Park has about 12,000 people; Neptune township, which includes Ocean Grove, about 6,000; Bradley Beach 18,000; Avon, Deal and Allenhurst, each 500 or more. Here, then, is a contiguous population of approxi- mately 40,000 perraanent residents split up into petty local governments, each with its mayor, assessor, council, board ‘of education and all the costly paraphernalia of numerous officials. If their varied interests could be as well taken care of by one municipal government, there would be great economy in official salaries, and much niore uniformity of development and improvement. It would be much like the consolidation, several years ago, of all the places between Bergen Point and Communipaw into the city of Eayonne, and as a municipal proposi- tion it has much In its favor. One big city can be run more economically and satisfactorily, if run honestly and capably; than a dozen small ones. And this was one of the motives back of the Ocean Grove horough movement, though it was not exploit- ed. Tt was, in fact, kept far in the background, for manifest reasons. Had the boroughites succeeded in es- tablishing the form of local govern- ment they demanded, they would have been_in position to vote on the next question to arise; namely, that of an- rexation to Asbury Park, and, In a word, to join with the other coast boroughs and cities to form one large seashore city. As it is, Ocean Grove stands firmly in the way of such con- solidation. To a degree, at least, these facts ac- count for the work done by outside in- dividuals, corporations and news- papers to further the borough move- ment in Ocgan Grove, and in the vears to come it is possible that the con- solldation seheme will be the strongest factor in any new effort made to end the present form of Ocean Grove ad- niinistration. If the consolidation niovement succeeds, the new city will he about twelve miles long by a mile and a half to two miles wide. Combination Against Wilson. (Philadelphia Record.)

It is easy enough for politicians to frame a terrible in- dictment against the democratic ad- ministration today, but will It look like a true hill two years hence? The new tariff has not flooded the country with foreign goods, and when the railroads get the freight advance they ask for, or begin to feel the stimulus of the huge crops, they will buy freely, and the very moderate dullness of the pres- ent moment will be forgotten. Two vears hence the country will have had two years' experienca with a banking system as much superior to what preceded it as the national bank svetem of half a century ago was. Perfect amity will have been restored to our Colombian relations, and the very large part of the American people who do not approve of Mr. Roosevelt's Panama conduct will feel that an un- pleasant spot has been crased from the nation's fame. The present indi- catlons are than In 1916 Mexico will be peaceful and prosperous, the peons having access to the land, and the general government representing pub- lic opinion instead of a combination of military despotism and financial raonopoly. The great trusts in our own country will have been disinte- zrated, with the result of increasing the prosperity of their component the farseeing Roosevelt on the shoul- ders of the blind republican party, and 80 beat Mr. Wilson in the next race. We don’t believe the combination will prove as successful as the com- bination of the lame man and the parts and of the country at large, and of opening the gates to widespread and healthful competition.
