COUNCIL REPRESENTATION SEWER INVESTIGATION. The common council has decided to have a committee of its own to join in investigating the sewer ques- tion, but if it does any travellng it must pay its own expenses, Wwhile those of the special committee will be paid out of the appropriation of a thousand dollars taken from the incidental fund. It is evidently the intention fo have the council com- mittee” only listen to the imparting of the inf,rmation obtained by the special comn.ittee and when the mat- ter comes up in the council to be in a position to debate it along the lines followed by the report. . It is hardly necesss.ry to say that the com- mittee_will not be called upon to per- torm any labortous task and from the manner in which the matter has left “ the council it is difficult to see how any value caa come to the city from restricted powers. It have its -evident there were any real desire to the council represented in an inves- tigation of sewage disposal it could have been provided for when the special committee was being ap- pbinted. The mayor is a member and the work which the council com- mittee is apparently expected to per- form could be just as well taken care of by the mayor who is a member ~ of the council. That the council committee will not do any investigating is evident | from the terms of the resolution which compels the members to pay their own expenses. That was a hard blow and suggests that it would have been more in accordance with the proprieties to have omitted the raming of a council committee alto- | gether. What the public is inter- ested in is the best and the moet economical method of caring for the | sewage and to have the filter beds | placed in condition to do the work | for which they were built. That really should have been done by the ' board of public works which has ‘charge of sewer matters, amd it might . be assisted by an advisory commit- | tee as the water commissioners were at one time. BEEF GOES UP AGAIN. Beef has again gone up in New | York, this time to a figure which had | not been reached before in thirty | years, and the reason given for it is | & decrease ip the number of meat | cattle, the number in the past six months in Chicago alone being about 74,000 head. The Armours do not see | arty avenue open to reltef except that the farmers raise their calves to beet | gize instead of having them slaugh- tered as veal. This is not the first _time that this point has been raised [ but it seems as sound now as it did when first introduced. Argentine peef does not seem to have given any 1p towards keeping down the prices. n the first plag$ there was not enough or it and agAlgfit is believed that | those who control the beef business in ‘this country have also reached out for F'the Argentine product, do not propose ['¢¥ allow it to interfere with their | profits here and as a result this supply bas been of no benefit to the Ameri- an consumer. Uruguay is now being brought forward as a beef producing eountry which a century ago used to kill its cattle for the fhide and leave the carcasses on plains to rot or to be devoured dogs, wild animals or buzzards. At .nt the beef is used for the manu- ure of extracts, as many as 2,500 ttle being slaughtered in one day s+ this purpose. It 1s stated that guay has at present 8,000,000 of cattle and 29,000,000 sheep a#ing on its plains and that all that sieeded is to have this large supply perly handled in order to relieve ihie situation in this country, but robably it it was done it would end p im about the same way as has the gentine stipply. People have been portuned to use some other food be- beef with the hope of modify- the eonditions in the United States ‘afl to no avail. There are other ds of meat, such as mutton for ? which might be used with ofit ana tableness, but the sontinue to stick to beef and about the price. JAIL AMENITIES. No one has left the New Haven county jail for some time and it was presumed that the practice of prison- ers going visiting and returning at unseemly hours had been abandoned in the southern section of the state, | but this appears to be untrue. A col- ored gentleman left the town . lockup in Westport the other day, took a walk around the village, inquired the price of poultry and made some in- cidenta] remarks concerning the state campaign. When he felt that he had acquired sufficient information and obtained a plentiful supply of fresh air he sauntered back to the station house, rapped on the aoor and mod- estly inquired if he might come in. The sheriff replied in the affirmative and the visitor, with a wide grin, was led back to his apartment. The es- teemed Bridgeport Standard says that in justice to Sheriff Mead it should be stated that the colored gentleman used. a file in order to gain admit- tance to the open air, but why in the world should it have been necessary for him to be compelled to use such an tmplement as a preliminary to go- ing calling when in Nantucket each occupant of the lockup is provided with a key so that the keeper shall not be disturbed? Perhaps Sheriff Mead has not been informed as to this simple rule and if so the Standard de- serves to be chided for what must be characterized as neglect. In New Haven gentlemen placed have been known to go ng any word as to ;@estination "and their absence caused the greatest excitement among those in charge. Some even neg- lected to return and the sheriff was plainly disturbed. This, however, has led to.a change in the discipline and before a prisoner can go visiting now he must ask permission. This is not always granted but this caution enables the sheriff to know where his Buests are when wanted. HUERTA QUITS. Victoriano Huerta has resigned as provincial president of Mexico, Fran- cisco Carbajal, former cabinet minis- ter, has succeeded him, and so ends an important chapter in the history of a most troublesome country. The former will in all probability leave the country and the conditions will permit of an arrangement that will bring peace to Mexico and the great question now is regarding what steps may be taken towards this end. The new president is an educatea man, capable of assuming the reins of government and with none of the fierceness of his predecessor; one with whom satisfactory terms might be ar- ranged if the constitutionalists, who dislike all of those connected with the Huerta administration, are ap- proached properly. They have virtual- ly won their fight; their great oppon- ent was Huerta and with him out there is no reason why they cannot come to some amicable agreement by which peace may be obtained and law and order restored in Mexico. That, however, 18 a condition which may be difficult to bring about. If, how- ever, the mediators could be brought together Immediately before the breach can be further widened, some- thing might be done towards formu- lating a definite policy by which war would cease and peace be established, but if the constitutionalists are to continue decimating the population, march into Mexico City and take pos- session of the government, which can only be accomplished by .serious loss of life, they will start their term of management under conditions that will be much more unfavorable than they are at present. The result up-to date is a victory for President Wilson. He opposed Huerta, refused to recognize him as president, and has now made the way clear for his successor, whoever he may be, it being understood that Car- bajal i8 only a temporary official. The president’s methods have been crit1~ cised as futile, but they are bearing fruit, and the evidence is that they will yet bring order out of war ana bloodshed. Two weeks ago the secretary of Gov. Fielder of New Jersey threw a lighted match into a newspaper on the floor of a raflroad smoking compartment. The Governor trampled out the blaze when he felt it scorchigg his legs. A fow days later he found his office awning blazing from a cigarette stub tossed from a Window above. He tore it down. Despite two such object lessons the governor, Monday, tossed 2 flaming match into his waste basket instead. of the cuspidor at which he aimed. In’ extinguishing the fire which communicated to his desk he ruined a $250 rug, the gift of his wife. 1f the Governor of a sovereign state has no greater sense of responsi- bility than this fool conduct indicates it 1s hardly reasonable to condemn the ignorant tenement dweller for his shiftlessness in the handling of fire.— ‘Waterbury American. It's dollars to doughnuts that some of the republicans would like to chip in and buy T. R. another ticket to Africa provided he’'d use it himself this fall.—Winsted Citizen, 7 | vers WHAT OTHERS SAY Views on all sides of timely questions as discussed in ex- changes that come to Herald office, Waste and Hospitality. (Brooklyn Eagle.) It is an old epigram that it is the cost of high living and not the high cost of living which the trouble for the present generation. President Wallace of the domestic science clubs put a new twist to the idea the other day when she told her audience that it was feeding the gar- bage can, and not feeding their fam- ilies which kept people poor. Then she added a few words about the fol- ly of display in entertaining and said that she knew only one family which did not provide a better dinner when it had guests. Mrs. Wallace must live in that vul- gar, showy Manhattan. There are still a few old-fashioned homes in this borough of homes where, 1f a friend drops in, he will be kept to dinner or Sunday night supper, and nobody will be sent to the delicatessen shop to meet the emergency. But that simple and hearty style of hospitality is more rare than it used to be, and that largely because the women who would love to practice it are really good housekeepers, whose garbage pails are neither a feast nor a scan- dal and who, to prevent such a re- sult, cater for their families with something like the French accuracy. But that is merely by the way. It would be useless to deny that most ot us like to do things a little better than our neighbors and that this ef- fort involves us in a foolish waste both of money and of effort. Every- body has belonged to a club which disbanded because the refreshments grew too elaborate. Everybodly aa- mits that such competition ought not to be, but nobody, or, at least, very few of us, has strength of mind enough to stop. The dread of being thought poor or mean is more widely potent than religious conviction. The woman who refused to have either after-dinner coffees or finger-bowls in her country house, because those were the beginning of elaborate en- tertaining, and her country place was for rest, is a small minority This folly cannot be changed mass meetings or resolutions adopted in convention. It can be changed if every family which sees the light will follow it. Example is more powerful than precept and this is a matter in which nothing but ex- ample counts. The woman who can make simple entertaining so attractive as to seem the right and obvious thing is needed to set a new fashion. How many of her are there? [ l makes by duly Horses Are Coming Back. (Kansas City Star.) Dobbin can shake the hayseed from his mane, eat more oats and slick up on sunflower seed and eggs and pre- pare to come back. -W. J, McKinty, a buyer for one of the largest firms in New York city, dealers in horses, says that carriage, park, fancy cobs and driving horses are being inquired for and that it appears that horses for pleasure use, after being sidetracked for five years, will soon be seen agaln in the parks and boulevards of 'the big cities. - Mr. McKinty's explanation of the return to pleasure horses is: - “The motor car has about reached its lim- it in possibility of cost, elegance and luxury. It is an inanimate thing, of- fensive in its scent, nerve-racking in its. performance, and is failing to at- tract attention it once did. Horses are animate, they appeal to human beings accordingly. An elegant park turnout will attract comment attentlon now where a dozen ma- chines of the latest make will not cause a second glance. It is craving for something nearly human that will make pleasure horses possible .again.” Local dealers say that it will be ex- tremely hard to find fancy driving horses if any important demand should develop. In the last six or seven years practically nothing but heavy horses and mules have been bred in the United States and even the United States government has difficulty in obtaining good riding horses for cavalry use. Draft and heavy work horses have been in ac~ tive demand for several years and prices now are higher than they were a decade ago. One of Depew's Stories, (Boston Herald.) The death on Sunday of Justice Lurton of the supreme court recalls one of Chauncey M. Depew's charac- teristic responses. At the time the appointment to the supreme court was under consideration a committee ot New York lawyers went to Washing- ton to use their influence in opposi« tion. On the way down they con- cluded that to oppose a man- for office who was sixty-six years bla, before a senator who was seventy- six and a candidate for another term, was not in all respects absolutely fe- licitous, even though the theory had always been—since *h justice may re- tire on reaching the age of seventy, after ten years on the bench—that the law contemplated the appoint- ment of no .man over ty. At all events, the lawyers on meeting Mr. Depew based their opposition to Lur- ton on the ground that the aps pointment should go to the New York cireuit, from which the late Justice Peckham had come. Mr. Depew promptly dismissed this considera- tion as too provincial, declaring that the president ought to be free to take the best man wherever found. There- upon Chauncey looked up to the law- with this question, “Have vou got anything else against him?" Taking the bull by the horns, the spokesman answered: ‘“You know, Mr. Depew, he is sixty-six years old.” “I would not worry about that,” re- plied the senator in a reflective mooa. “He will mature.” and | GOOD ARRAY OF NEW BOOKS NAMED IN INSTITUTE’S LIST THIS WEEK Biography.

The report from Bristol of a child suffering from sunstroke should be a warning to parents throughout the state. On days like Monday it was no uncommon sight to see children ‘run- ning about on Main street without any protection to their heads what- ever.

In some form or other the ques- tion witen i3 a lie not a lie is as old as the teaching’ of morals and the in- vention of casuistry. It has always been easy to point out cases in which a lie may be so far the smaller of two evils that it seems venial to most people, as for instance when telling the lie would save a valuable life, while telling the literal truth would destroy it, the person uttering the lie having ro selfish interest in the result. Be- tween that and the other extreme there is a wide space, and in that may be found many cases of all sorts of values.—Hartford Times. Plumber Got His Reward. (Washington Post.) e The story is just getting around about a dinner given in exclusive Washington society, at which the most tactful person was undoubtedly a plumber in overalls. It was an elaborate dinner. The central feature of the table decora- tions was a playing fountain. But just before the dinner was to . be served the fountain refused to play. A plumber was hastily called. £ crawled under the table and soon.had the fountain sending a delicate spray into the air. He was busy tightening the couplings of the temporary pipes under the table when the head butler, his mind relieved of a load of care when he saw the fountain playing, announced in the drawing-room “Dinner is served.” Before the plumber knew what was happening the guests had entered the dining-room, chairs were drawn up, and he suddenly found himself hemmed' in. by a wall in which trousers alternated with skirts. It was a big round table, so he was safe from discovery from any shift- ing foot. ‘He scratched his head and wondered. He looked carefully around. Neither to the right nor to the left nor between any pair of feet was there sufficient space for him to wiggle through. The only way to get out would be to tap on some knee and—"Pardon me, please.” He didn’'t know much about the etiquette of formal diner parties, but he had a hunch that he wouldn't make a hit. He decided that there was just one thing to do; stay’ where he' was until the trouser-and-skirt wall departed. So there he sat, while course after course was served, cof- fee sipped, cigarettes and cigars smoked, nothing to entertain him but a ground-floor view of high society. When the dinner was at last over and the guests had returned to the drawing-room the plumber crawled forth. The hostess had tarried for a mo- ment to give a few directions to the head butler. She gasped with aston- ishment, The plumber explained. “Sir,” sald she, “you are a gentle- man.” Then to the head butler: “James, give this man $10 for him- self.” Then to the plumber: *“And please say nothing.” Bascball Phenomena, (Waterbury American.) A phenomenom of the day which Is attracting interest but defles explana- tion is the poor attendance at basc- ball games in Waterbury. It is due to the hard times, say some. People can't afford to go. But we recull that one of ‘the most prosperous years in baseball was when people had little work and plenty of time to attend baseball games and found it possible to dig up a quarter for the admit- tance fee when they found none too much with which to buy bread and beer. Another theory that conditions in Waterbury are symp- tomatic of conditions everywhere this year. All the big leagues complain of poor attendance ana every city in this league reports a falling off, al- though some of them, even smaller than Waterbury, have larger num- bers. Here the decline in attendance has not been relatively larger than in other cities. WVaterbury has given Poor support tb baseball for several vears, and unaccountably so. An in- teresting but not cenvincing theory is that the baseball pools satisfy the sporting taste of many and use up what liftle money they have: to spend in games, < g Conditions are more striking this vear than ever before because the ball that is played here is so good. Waterbury has probably never had so lively and aggressive and inter- esting a bunch of players as this year. They have beéh in. first position part of the time, kept second position much of the time, and sre at present making such a dramatic bid for the lead as to challenge the interest and rouse the sporting spirit of everybody who has any liking at all for this game. The habit of not geing to games has been fostered by poor ball and poor management. The thing to do is to get people into the habit of going again, Here In Connecticut. (Ansonia Sentinel.) Senator McLean has been in/ Con- necticut recently studying pblitical conditions and he is free to.say after his survey that everything is favorable for a sweeping republican victory this fall. Everywhere in the manufactur- ing centers he finds bitter discontent with the results of democratic policy, which is regarded as directly respon- sible for the present depression In trade and which, it is feared, despite the temporary improvement due to a record breaking crop outlook, is des- tined to endure after the stimulus ot the grain movement is passed. New England has had all that it wishes of democratic management and the minority party, which has so signally shown its incapacity during two years in the saddle will find the vote of Connecticut arrayed against it this fall. « The split in the republican party, which gave the democrats their chance of yictory two years ago, is no longer a split. The progressives, whose votes made that victory possi- ble, are back in the republican ranks with the exception of a radical hand- fyl, who will never be satisfied with any party at present constituted. They are irreconcilables, who would nev- er be happy unless outside of all party breastworks. ‘With a solid republican vote, with nine-tenths of that cast for Roosevelt in the last presidential campaign and with a very comforting number of, ballots contributed by disgruntied democrats, whose party loyalty has been overeome by their resentment at ‘business conditions, there does not seem to be much doubt that Connee- ticut will have a republican governor, a republican senator and fi; repub- lican representatives this fall.
