Editarial Rooms T R FRENCH DEPUTY ASSASSINATED. A member of the French chamber of deputies was shot to death last night in a restaurant in Paris by a young man who has been described as a son of a civil court clerk ana who prebably is a fanatic. The for- méy was a socialist leader and it is DbeHeved that his life was taken be- | Bausé Ne-opposed the war spirit whicn | &bpears to be gaining strength in France. His plan of opposition, ac- ecording to Mr. Beardsley, socialist candidate fn- governor of Connecti- | cut two years ago, was to organize strikes on railroads and other branches of service which would pre- ‘vent the shipment of supplies and other classes of goods without which & war could not be very well ocar- ted on. Whether Mr. Beardsley knew of his plans is a question which ot be settled here, but there is ho bt of his death being due to his anti-military attitude. It would not take much provoca- tion to arouse the French people to 8 war feeling because the military $pirit is almost as strong there as in the days of Napoleon. Soldiers are to be seen on the street§ everywhere, they are perrormin; military duty in front of various buildings on many of the thoroughfares, carrying rifles on the street as the people pass. There does not appear to be any reason for it except a fear that there may be an uprising among the people. M. Juares, who Was murdered last night, was opposeéd to the war spirit and it Is @angerous for people with those ideas to give expression to them in certain countries of Europe at present. The latter are very cautious and this can be gleaned in this country by the can- cellation of the trips of steamers on certain lines lest they be interfered with at sea and sunk or captured. There is fear now that there will be demonstrations in Paris as a result of the Kkilling of the great socialist leaa- er. The conditions are favorable for | almost any kind of outbreak there now. WHY FRANCIS FERDINAND DIED. The conspirators who perpetrated the crime at Serajevo were not blind anarchists who slew the Prince mere- Iy because he was a prominent figure in a settled government, according to the Literary Digest. The dssassins were men of deep if diabolical pur- Ppose, who thought their country was suffering a grievance. They acted in the spirit of Charlotte Corday, and removed the person they considered & ringleader in plans for their na- tional obliteration. So, at least, the Jtalian and German papers account for the murder of hereditary Grand (Duke Francis Ferdinand of Austria land his consort, the Duchess of Ho- henburg, which had much to do withy precipitating present war. In u’n article By Alessandro Dudan in government organ, Tribuna (Rome), the blame 48 laid on the reactionary policy of the prince himself. It appears that he tried to propagate an Austrian policy of his own by secret means, in opposition to the plans of the reizn- ing emperor, and relied on the sup- Port of the clerical and aristocratic party in enrolling all the Slavs of the meighboring territories under the standard of the Black Eagle. His policy was particularly hateful to the Serbs, who had aiready deen Bos- nia-Herzegovina swallowed up by Austria. Of the Archduke’s intrigues Mr. Dudan says that for some tine Belvedere, the palace of the Arch- duke at Vienna, has been universally regarded as the headquarters from which stretched out all the manifold gontrolling influences which Itaiian historians have styled the Neben- pegierung, a side or secret govern- fent, a replica of the Spanish cam- arilla which represented al the court and throughout the provinces Fifie closely allied and potent forces | the old feudal and re- | actionary aristocracy and of 8 old clergy and military, as against constitutional authorities, the tliament, the ministers ot in e with theé camarilla, and even nst the emperor himself, when- r the ruler preferred to follow the ce of his ministers rather than of military autherities. In this eventually included connections in Bo- hémia, while theé feudal, aristocra‘ic. and clerical circles in that country | joinéd the group te which the arch- ' duke found himself attracted after his marriage with a daughter of a Bohemian aristocrat, a marriige ‘which by its very morgan- atic character detached him still | more from that circle surrounding the emperor which he had aban- doned. Then there were formed in Austria two parties in the political Olympus of the monarchy. On one side was the old German bureau- cracy, strongly supported by the | Hungarian government; on the other side were the clerical and military circle of reactionaries and those mem- ers of the bureaucracy who saw ‘n | the Archduke the future, and in the reigning emperor the past, of the country. The Archduke desired to include | in the Austrian empire the group of nationalities known as Jugo-Slavs, or | Southern Slavs, including Bulgarians, | Servians, Croats, and the Slovenes | who inhabit Carinthia, = Carniola, Styria, and Austria. But all these | sections of the peninsula were na- tionalists and labored for their own | emancipation from the yoke of the Hapsburgs. In describing how Fer-' dinand matured his plans we read | that the influence of the hereditary archduke was especially extended af- ter his nomination to the post of | commander-in-chief of the Austro- Hungarian troops and of Inspector- general of all the armed forces of the monarchy, on sea and land. To this work he devoted every energy. In | the army and navy, according to the Hapsburgian tradition, he saw the most powerful weapon, offensive and defensive, against the enemies of the dynasty. Mr. Dudan thinks the consequences of the tragedy will bé that in Austria severer police discipline will be exer- cised over the Servians, and the Slovene and Croat Liberals, whose program is the nationalist union of all the Jugo-Slavs, generally to be described as the Slavs who aré not Russians. “BATHHOUSE” AND “HINKY” IN- STRUCTED. Have Mayor Harrison of Chicago and Alderman “Bathhouse” John Coughlin of the same city come to the parting of the ways? They have unless “Bathhouse” agrees to support the mayor’s county ticket to which he has so far objected. But when Mayor Harrison has anything to say he says it, and when he has any or- ders to give John Coughlin he goes out, hunts him up and gives them. He had some information to con- vey to him this week ana when he found him he told him he could either support the ticket or “git.” “There is nothing pérsonal in this, John,” the mayor is quoted as say- ing, “I am sorry that we have come to the parting of the ways. I am also sorry that Mr. Kenna is not here. I would like to tell him just what I have said to you. I will tell him when I see him and I want everyone to understand that I mean just exact- ly what I say.” It will be observed that “Hinky Dink” was not present, and his con- stituents are asking where he was, but “Bathhouse” will communicate to him the information he obtalned from the mayor without asking for it, and “Hinky” will do just as “Bathhouse” did, sit down and say nothing. It is a bit interesting to hear of those twib aldermanic officials being in- structed, it having been understood at this distance that they were the teachers and that any advice to be given was given by them, The fight that the suffragettes gave the Chicago democracy last spring has not had a very salutary effect upon the two aldermen, who still play the boss, except when Mayor Harri- son is within hearing. They will sup- port his ticket, however, as long as they have the choice of doing so or leaving the organization, and there is no danger of their leaving such a good thing for the present. In the mean- time, however, the mayor will insist upon discipline in the party, “UNCLE JOE” A CANDIDATE. Among those who are pluming themselves for a nomination and who belleve they can be elected to the next house 1s our esteemed fellow citi- zen, Joseph G. Cannon, for 33 years a member of that body, speaker of that body and incidentally a lame duck. He is seventy-eight now and vet he proposes to enter the campafgn fight for the nomination, and it would not excite any great surprise if he got it. There is scarcely any doubt but that the democrats will have less representation in the next house than they now have, at least it looks that Way at present, and 48 many progres. sived will return to the old party, the republicans are apt to regain some of the ground lost in the last two campaigns. The democracy, however, ’to ! ana if he were put has such a large majority in the house at present that unless the loss is very heavy it will not suffer except it be in $he Sujurious effect it may have on the presidential campaign twe years hence. To 1 -elect “Uncle Joe™ ! would be to return to the old condi- } i l | tions which have proven such a han- dicap to the republican party during recent years. The ex-speaker is out of touch with present day affairs, he is an and he arose to discuss a question would be from the which he saw from things when he was in congress before, which has | been repudiated by the people at the polls.

Governor Baldwin’s nomination for United States senate on the democratic | ticket now amounts to a certainty. On | the other side, John King and com- | pany are polishing up the machinery for Frank Brandegee.—Bridgeport | Telegram. Even with fourteen deaths by vio- lence during the month, Bridgeport’s death rate in June was the lowest in | vears. But think how much better the showing would have been had these preventable deaths actually been prevented and had the fourteen deaths frcm tuberculosis been eliminated from the list.—Bridgeport Standard. Hartford residents requesting the board of health to take action to stop the wild birds singing in the early hours of the morning, possibly com- prise the class seeking some tropical clime in mid-winter owing to the in- clemency of the weatheér. When it gets down to legislating against the birds municipal management has come to a fine pass.—Middletown Penny Press, According to the published esti- mates the cost of the new city hall) will be about $750.000, maybe more. Of course, if the land on which the old city hall stands is sold for $200,000 or more, the price will be ecut to $550,000 at least. But let no one forget to tell his summer visitors that Waterbury's new city hall is going to cost $750,- 000, three-quartérs of a million, and possibly a million before all is done. We must have some satisfaetion out of the fact.—Waterbury Republican. It may not be that swine are con- spicuous among animals as victims of and disseminators of germ diseases, but evidently the effort to sanitate them makes slow progress. Just .at present their condition is such in New York that the state commissioner of agriculture has asked the local fairs to omit their swine exhibits this fall, lest they spread cholera. Frequently one is inclined to the belief that those who eliminate pork from their diet have more sense than prejudice.— New Haven Register. Senator Brandegee will be fifty years old this month. He got into the sen- ate at a tender age, as senators go, and he got into Connecticut politics at an even ténderer age. He was a sort of infant prodigy when he served as speaker of the Connecticut house. The Waterbury American inclines to the opinion that he may go along in the senate until he is 80 or 85 and per- haps break a record for length of service. Still this may be' upset by the popular opinion that it would be beneficial to send to Washington an- other voungster—named Baldwin.— Hartford Times. Secretary Phillips has rendered his decison in the case of himself against Carlson. While pointing out that the other man was to blame for the ac- cident he gives him the benefit of the doubt and does not revoke his license, Some such verdict as this might have been expected. The secretary of state was placed in the rather embarrassing position of acting as judge in his own case and it was quite natural that he should give himself a clean bill of health and under the abnormal cir- cvmstances should also show a lenient spirit to the man he said was in the wrong.—Ansonia Sentinel. Public sentiment against the man who drives an automobile while un- der the influence of liquor is grow- ing stronger and it will not be sur- prising if the legislatures through- out the country soon adopt more stringent laws for the protection of the public from tht reckless driving of intoxicated motorists. The opera- tion of a motor vehicle by a person while under the influence of liquor ought to be made a statutory offense, punishable by imprisonment, for a person who operates a motor vehicle whilg intoxicated is a real menace to the public safety.—Naugtuck News. A complaint is being made that the penny-in-the-slot weighing machines dc not weigh correctly, 1t is strange that anyoné should ever have thought they would. There is a great variety of them and some of them do a great deal for a cent. They all flatter lean rersons by making them think they are gaining in weight; and some of these machines play a popular air for the diversion of the party with the penny, and others drop a printed card with your alleged true weight upon it. and a kind expression for your future welfare. There is no denying they are very ammusing and give a tglood deal for a cent.—Norwich Bulle- TR Cannon | old man and were he elected | same standpoint | he says that | The | | ever, | than when Mr. Landérs held that of- TOWN TALK, HE reports from repub- lican state leaders are that ex-Mayor Web- ster stands a fair chance of being nom- inated for governor | this year. He may be | sald to have been the first republican candidate in the field, for the last legislature had scarcely ad- journed before public voice was given | to what some of the members had been thinking of during the last few | days of the session; the matter final- | ly reached the newspapers and the | hoom for the speaker was on its way. | It is not claimed that Mr. Webster is | his weakness there is admitted, but :cl‘ is claimed that he is showing great | strength in the small towns where, by | the way, regular republicans, par- | ticularly of the agriculturist type, are | always popular, Mr. Webster is = member of the grange and has al-| ways stood well with the country rep- | resentative: It would be strange if | two of w Britain's ex-mayors should be rival candidates for gover- nor this year, and.vet it seems as if things' are drifting in that direction. It was a different New Britain, how- when Mr. Webster was mayor | | fice; in fact there were two Kn\‘ern~: ments here during the former's ad-g ministration and they were both con- | solidated when Mr. Landers was elect- | ed. O, F. Curtis was in the council during the administration of Mr. Webster and during the first term of Mr, Landers: he was then in his prime as a political factor in the city and he fought one as much as he did the other, although Mr. Wehster wag" of the same political complexion as him- self. Mr. Webster also hdd the so- cialists to deal with and they did not add anything to the pleasures of his administration. The two ex-mayors are different in type and thought; Mr. Webster was more partisan than Mr. Landers, yet less aggressive and did not accomplish as much during his administration in the way of mu- nicipal reforms. Should both gentle- men be candidates for governor there is hardly any doubt but that a com- parison of their administrations as mayor would add to Mr. Landers’ vote in New Britain. Mr, Webster ! has long been a resident of Harwin- ton, but he still keeps up his ac- quaintanceship with New Britain peo- ple. They are naturally interested in him and note with pleasure his in- crease in prominence throughout the state. Tt is not only possible but probable that the New Britain dele- gation to the republican state conven- tion will support him for governor and it looks at present as if it would go uninstructed i Chairman Burckhardt of the board | of assessors says he has been sur- prised to see so much building going or in New Britain and adds that if every other city is doing as well as this that all the factories in the state should be working full time. He savs that the greater part of the new buildings are tenement houses with only a small number of blocks. Mr. PBurckhardt has noted that the build- ing business started earlier this year | than last, so that between those | structures which were not finished on October 1, 1913, together with those which will be completed on the same date next fall, which is the close of the assessors’ year for determining the value of property, the sum to be added to the grand list will be quite large. Last year the additions to the | grand list by reason of the factories | were not large as they were prac- tically confined to small buildings while this year Landers, Frary & Clark are finishing a seven story | building and the Stanley Works has started on another which will be about as large. Readers of the Herald must have noted during the past week the | large amount of taxes which are paid | by the factories, almost one half the entire sum paid into the city treas- | ury, and the payments are increasing, not because of any increase in taxa- tion, but because thelr property is growing and becoming more valuable. The factories at present are of enormous gize, some of them cover- ing entire squares. It is only natural that there should be an increase in the number of dwelling houses being erected because there is such a de- mand for them by people seeking tenements, Mr. Burckhardt says that in addition to buildings to be used for this purpose that there are also many of the better class of houses being erected and between them all he looks for a substantial increase in the grand list this vear. This is good news because an increased grand list nieans more money for improvements without any increase in taxation. If this increase could be made to bring enough money into the treasury every Year to meet all the expenses of new improvements it would be a great benefit to the municipality in several ways. There are small stores spring- ing up all over New Britain evidently necessitated by the increase in the fereign population. These people ap- parently like to do business with those who speak ‘their language, thereby relieving them of much em- barrassment wheén making their daily purchases. It appears from the attitude of the Rev. F. L. Grant, pastor of the Con- gregational church in Plainville, that the New Britain baseball team will not be permitted to play games on Sunday at Electric field, which is In the town of Plainville. It has been tried under different management, but without success, and there does not seem to be any such change in the situation as would warrant the im- pression that games could be played now without interference. The local manager has certainly shown courage fn keeping his team together under discouraging circumstances, and the average person would no doubt be glad to see him have the financial success that would probably come to him if he could play games on Sun- day. That, however, is impossible in the present state of feeling in Plain- ville, Tt is true that it is the same law in that town as operates in citics where Sunday games are permitted, but the difference lies in the attitude of the authorities and the people themselves. When they object there can be no games, The Congregational clergymen are the strongest in opposi- tion to Sunday sports and everythi: else which pertains to the violation >f law. New Britain knows that as well city in the state. It was the m of the late Dr. Hall, pastor of the First church, that really pro- hibited boxing in this city. Heé ad- mitted to the “about town man” on one occasion that J. F. Willis con- ducted hoxing exhibitions as order'y as they could be conducted, but he said it had been determined after the negro, “Black” Fitzsimmons, was beaten in the Casino that there would be no more such contests in New Britain, and he was correct in his prediction. He was interested in the movement to confine the saloons to the central part of the city and was instrumental in having several places closed on the outskiris, conducting the proceedings himself in a manner to earn the approval of the county commissioners, The opposition to Sunday ball is not by any means as strong as it used to be, and it may be that the legislature, which meets | next January, may so amend the law that Sunday ball may be played. Amateur games are permitted now under certain conditions and there is no telling what the next move will be, but until the law is changed or the Reév. Mr. Grant changes his resi- dence there will be opposition in Plainville. There need never be any doubt on that point. That wag a nice point raised by the board of public works when it took up the matter of objécting to the passing of a heavy truck lalen with stone through the stréets, var ticularly over the permanent nay ment which suffered as a result. The matter has been amicably adjusted without resorting to any legal ceedings and the truck will cease 1ts trips through the city but the gremt question as to its rights remains un- settled. The fact that the truck will not he run over New Britain's strests | is all that Engineer Hall desired done, but whether the city had the legal right to stop it is what interests the public. It was Chairman Hum- phrey who raised the point at the meeting of the board of public works and the engineer was directed to take the matter up with the cor- poration counsel. The question of the damage done to pavement by heavy trucks has always occasioned much discussion in city governments and it has also been considered in reference to dirt roads to the extent that there has been more or less de- mand for wide tires on trucks so that the wheels might not cut into the highway. All know what a dis- pute there has been over automobile traffic and the damage it does to ma- cadam. It will be recalled that when the city macadamized North Stanley street it was considered a good piece of work and yet in a short time the bed stone near the corner of Allen street and along by the cemetery be- came visible from the wear and tear of automobiles and the road was practically ruined. Of course motor- ists pay a license and are as much entitled to the privileges of the streets as any one else and the main ques- tion has been to obtain a pavemant that will stand up under this traffic. Only the real permanent pavement, however, will do it and now comes a truck weighing over sixteen tons which damages even that. It can easily be seen that the point raised by the board of public work is im- portant; if it can be sustained by law a most important right can be enforced by a city and it may mean that trucks above a certain weight may be prohibited the use of paved streets without a license or without some special right from the city. In the case in question the truck will not be run through the city again and so far as the dispute i8 concerned the matter has been settled. The | city has therefore won a victory such as’it is. A Superstitious Age. (New York Sun.) is reason for holding that this age, which prides itself on fts freedom from ‘“superstition,” is one of the most superstitious and cred- ulous of eras. Witchcraft is con- tinually bobbing up; palmists, clair- voyants and other readers of the fu- ture prosper; new ‘‘religions,” cults, prophets and prophetesses and heal- ers abound. Darkest Africa and darkest America are more alike than they seem, What a boom for seers and other lookers into the seeds of time is the story in yesterday's paper's of the death by falling out of a window of a woman to whom seme months ago a fortune teller foretold that she would meet a violent end within six months. If the guess was made— and the race of modern diviners must have changed mightily if it ever pre- dicts other than final good fortune: there's no money in forecasting evil —it merely illustrates Bacon's wise saying that meh ‘“‘count the hits and not the misses.” Out of a million foretellings some may or must strike the mark, And unless the art has sreatly improved since the times of official oracles, the guess is wrapped in such a cloud of equivocation as to save the Delphian face, whatéver hap- pens, That fortune tellers are still con- sulted shows that no amount of sci- ence or experiénce changes human nature, even if Anthony Trollope's Harold Smith believed it had “‘come to an end” when he lost his place as Lord Petty Bag. How many of us, albeit we be the mosl superior ag- nostic persons, are not subject to the “thirteen” superstition, distinctly hon- ored and advanced by the combat against it of the Thirteen club? How many of us fall to throw a pinch of #alt over the shoulder when this sacred substance is spilled, or don’t feel a sinking of the heart when we see the new moon over our left shoul- der? Look at the horseshoes on a million barns, -amulets against the Hvil Eve and witches and the powers of darkness, and almost invariably hung the wrong way.

Mr, Hinman says not a word about or against Mr, Rooseveit, who brought him into the fleld. That is not ingratitude, That is only rolicy, It was Artemus Ward, who, in a waggish moment, said: “Policy was the best honesty,” of which he was capable, but he was but satiriz- ing Ben Franklin’s “Honesty's the best policy,” which had quite a wide vogue in an earlier day. @ Mr. Hinman's omission to disclose Mr. Roosevelt is perhaps strategic. Mr. Whitman, however. does not think so, for he discloses hinm as lately” an enemy of republicanism, as now & suitor of republicantsm on condition that it swallow him, and as a whole- sale political gambler who insiste on holding all the stakes and on himeelf being alike the stake and the stake- older! If Mr. M :‘nlm*- is strategic, Mr. Whitman's anti-Rooseveltian fluency is objurgn- tory. And thus these former repub- lican allies are now republican eremies for the time-honored reéason Jranklin evolved when he sald: “Where two will ride, one must ride behind.” The only solution of this trouble may be to run Hinman for governor and Whitman for lleutenant governor, or vice versa, but to balk that Job E.
