City Engineer Hall is quoted as say- ing that he believes that the - city should build its own subways and as he hasjthe; approval of the board of public works it will probably be done. Of cougse this is not & new move. The cify built the subway in Court street by day labor: the work being done Uhder the direction of F. H. Oldershaw, then city engineer, and superistendent of the electrical de- partment, George Cooley. That was [ip 1904 and the city’ did not have authonity under the legislative act (to build.a subway in that street and | compel companies owning and occu- pying overhead wires to put them un- der ground. The Southern New Eng- land Tagqghane company had con- structed a hey central station on the street and asked for the subway, and through A. H, Abbe, then chairman of the subway eommission, the elec- (tric light company agreed to use ‘it. The subway was then constructed and hat was the first real municipal sub- 8% in the, country had a section add- 1 to it which was bulltby oity labor, ' ehp muerm uséd so far as possi- hle’ being pnlchaued fror local busi- men ‘and the work done under diregtion of city employes.

But why, we ask our esteemed con- temporary, should a Hartford gentle- man be expec¢ted to pay for more than He can eat? It is true we are living in lextravagant days, that we are lavish in our expenditures and refuse to continue the family garden, from which so mich help was obtained in days gone by and before, the high cost of living became a political issue, but that is another thing. Pa sits on the | front steps evenings now instead of looking after the vegetables and pull- ing weeds. He reads the paper, talks politics ahd 1s going to have a day named after him. Because he is thus to ‘be honored is no reason why he should be asked or expected to pay for what he cannot eat. Thkis may be the law in Massachusetts but liberty is still recognized in Connecticut. PRESIDENT WILSON TO GO ON STUMP. i It is now announced that Presi- dent Wilson will take the stump dur- ing the fall campaign and will make several speeches. He understands that his opponents will attack his ad- mintstration, and he proposes- .to make what he feels is the proper soré of reply. There is no one any more familiar with the details of the legislation of -thle democratic con- gress than he, and there is no one who can make out any better case and present it in any more argumen- tative manner than' himself. It is stated .that he has not made out any {tinerary as yet, but that he will speak in New York and New Jersey seems to be a settled fact, and that he will make some speeches in the citles _where Colonel Roosevelt talks, ap- ‘Dears to be just as certain.

The other half is working for those who have nq intention of keep- ing faith with the people if the voters #ie #ooled into choosing them. Prof. Fisher would. try to keep faith if roninated; so would Judge Walsh, so would former Semator Halloran. But it ig doubttul if any-one of them could get fifty votes, at the very most one hundred, in the party convention to assemble in September. Fhe condition in the democratic ranks finds some counterpart in the republican, with this exception, the republican leaders have recently suf- fered a terrific defeat. They now want ictory and they are looking around for sume one who will inspire confidence. '] Then, too, the party machinists have discovered that the corporation Mach- favellis from whom they took orders werg,always willing to throw them over for other party men who would be more subservient. This fact has come home strongly to many repub- Iitans of the machine type and it has brought them to the point where vice is willing to pay tribute to virtue, to some extent. at least. Were it not for striking economic conditions such a situation would be favorable for a third party. But the trouble is that there are so many in 1oth the old parties who vote by rote, This fact leaves only a small indepen- dent element which has little or no in- fluence on nominations. It can, however, swing elections between the old parties. Thus it is that the political situation in Connecticut presents a situation full of strong possibilities and were it not for theeconomic issue sur eto be fore- most in the campaign, almost anything might happen. COMMUNICATED. Explanation =~ Given of Economic Reasons for European War. “Who is Servia, who is she?"” mur- njurs Mr. Average Reader as, with wrinkled brow, he lays down the daily newspapcr after reading the dis- putches from the Balkan peninsula. He pedlizes that if he could once grasp the ificance of Servia’s interest in the threatening conflict, the situation would lose some of its more puzzling complcations. The following economic and politi- cal explanation of the little kingdom that is invelved in war with one of Europe's greatest nations, is based on a lecture delivered Wednesday after- noon at Columbia University by Pro- fessor Edwin B. Slosson, literary editor of, the Independent. Reference to the handy little map that appeared on the front page of the Herald Tues- day evening will clear up the points in Ralkan geography. In thinking of Servia, imagine a small country the size of our state of Maryland with a warm, temperate climate and approximately eighteen per’cent of the land cultivated. Thick forests of oak and bee¢h trees covefrkl the hills. The kingdom is inhabite by poor people, but intensely pa- triotlc and ambitiou They are ienorant, eighty per cent of-the adults belng unable to read or write. From the nature of .the country they are primarily a farming population,” each Se¢fb owning a Small plot of land under an extensive peasant proprie- torship system. A glance at the map will show:Ser- via's chief misfortune. She is inland country with no uppnr& chance pf getting a seaport. Hemmed in by Roumania, Bulgaria, " Albania,’ Montgnegro, Bosnla and the Austrian influence along the Danube the little kingdom is in a position similar to the republic of Switzerfand. A Natlon of Swine-Herds. Servia Is deficlent in natural . re- sources. Without coal or petroleum deposits to furnish fuel or swift-run- ning streams to furnish water powe there is only one thing for a country to do and that is to turn to agricul- ture. Servia has not grain enough to fatten a large number of catfle hut the beethes acorns ‘from the oak trees cellent food for ‘hogs. Thni u pens that Austria’s opp en nation of. swln(-hems. Peter, the present mond) a, is the grandson of ohe of the orln swine-herds who began to dri; through the beech forests ma ago. Hog raising is a mighty business in the United States because we are fortunate in finding an ever- ready market for hog products. little Servia is not so fortynate. Here her environment works particularly hard against her. Montenegro Albania offer no market for hogs be- cause they are in the hog-raising business for themselves. Bulgaria is a farming country amd a natural enemy of Servia. Why don’t the Servians send their hogs down south of Bulgaria to Adrianople? ' Because the religion of the Turks doeg not waghem (0 eat pork. There are - rafteditds dbwn through Bosnia to Adtfatle. As a last resort Servia rr\ust turn her hogs’towards the*Aus- trian provinces beyond the nube. Hére are. thousands of Roma thgp - lics who have, no religious sérupled about'the cloven hoof. Unfortunately for Servia she encounters strong competition beyond the Danube, be- cause Hungary has an- ambition to supply food for her partner in the Dual Monarchy. Freque quardn- tine arrangements and boOSMng of the tariff ing’ Servian hogs at, profit in Austrisf 'l‘arlfl War Hurts Servia. For years Austria has carried this tariff war with the intention effecting the subjection of mrvm" commercial interests to Hungaria dominance. As a member of the Hungarian parliament, said a few vears ugo: “We're not afraid of Ser- n soldiers but we are .afraid of Servian hogs.” Railroad development in the Balkans looking to Servia Lenefit has been shut off by the Aus trian government and the so-called “Iron Gates” of the Danube are con- trolled by Hungary.. Every ship go- ing down the Danube with a cargo of six hundred tons or more has to pay a tax to Hungary equal to $300 a trip. It can be seen at once that such & tax is prohibitive to the poor Servian hog producers, These few observations on the eco- nomic status of Servia's only industry will suffice to show the commercial disadvantages under which she chafes. We do not know whether our secre- tary of state, in sending out official’ invitations to the navies of the world to participate in the opening of the Panama canal included Servia or not; he did send such an invitation to Switzerland, another inland country whose navy is best represented by a string of small ciphers with the rims knocked off. There have been times when Servia was not entirely dissatisfied with Aus- tria’s tariff policy. In 1911, for in- stance, an arrangement was made whereby the tariff was reduced to about thirty per cent. and Austria agreed not to import more than two thousand tons a year of Argentine beef. This was a slight concession to the Servians who had chosen to raise cattle instead of hogs. As a general conclusion, it may be said, however, that Servia has been restless; that she has been willing to fight and pay dear- ly for an opening on the sea. Servia at War in 1911, In 1911 her efforts to get cost her 70,000 human and millions of dollars. formed an alliance with garia, Montenegro and Greece to wrest Macedonia from Turkey. This undertaking. was known as the first Balkan war. When the fighting stopped the allies had . apparently ‘achieved success. Plans for distribu- ting the territory won from the Turks went smoothly until Austria, backed by Germany and Italy, interfered and created a new principality along the ‘Adriatic to shut off Servia's march to the coveted seaport. Austria’s inter- ference destroyed the agreement be- tween the allied Balkan states; Servia could not get compensation from Bul- garia, and it appeared that she had lost out on all sides. Then Greece ahd Montenegro joined with - King Peter's soldiers to attack Budgaria Thus arose the second Balkan war, a struggle much more bloody and' atro- cious than the first, a struggle that presented the Turks with some of their lost possessions. As a result of these wars the Bal- kan states presented a new territorial aspect. Montenegro gained territory equal to the area of Delaware and is now as large as New Jersey. Greece gained an area equal to West Virginia and is now as large as Louisfana. Servia gained an area equal Maryland and is now on a par Maine, Bulgaria lost Maryland and Mississippi. Turkey was reduced to an area egual to Massachusetts and Albania was made the size of New Hampshire, Emerging from the bloodshed of that second struggle in which more than half a million lives wére lost, Servia had doubled her territory but she had .gained nothing vital. More territory meant room for more people and grazing grounds for more hogs but the outlet to the sea uppeared to be as remote as ever. Uncasy Rests the Crown. An impression of the dissatisfaction and " unrest that pertains in Servia may be derived from the fact that of her seven last kings, three were as- soesinated and four were deposed by revolutions. ° Seryia's dre a port lives She Bul- to with to of territory is now the equal size 1 of a greater Servia including all people of the Serb race seems to bé& shattered perma- nently.
