THE PROGRESSIVES WANT FISHER? The Hartford Post says that over- tures were made by the progressives to Professor Fisher before the Com- pounce conference was held, and that he decided to remain in the demo- cratic organization and seek the nom- ination for governor. The Post thinks that if the progressives have Pro- fessor Fisher for the head of their ticket that they will stand a good chance of winning and that if he is chosen by the democracy he will have a double chance of winning. Just what a double chance is is not quite olear, but it does not seem as if he could be elected on any ticket. Professor Fisher is an intelligent man, he understands government, particularly Connecticut government, but he isn’t the kind of a leader that people cotton to, and if his case can be judged by the general sentiment, he would be beaten, Whenever he speaks in public his audience is made up largely of men who are soclalists or who lean that way, but socialists will not support him for the reason that he is not a socialist in the sense that he is a member of that party, and socialists will not support, a man who is nat a member. His attjs. tude is more like that of the men" ‘who used to demand a workingman'’s ticket, and all know What that meant in the past. There is no doubt, how- ever, but that he is in earnest, but one may well question the sincerity of some of those who are back of him.. They never acquired a reputation for political sagacity or even regularity: A circular has been issued to every registered democrat in the state ask- ing support for Professor Fisher. It is stated that if he is nominated it will be because of the interest of the rank and flle, and financlal contributions are respectfully solicited. Headquar- ters have been opened in Hartford and the campaign is well under way. There is no telling what the demo- cratic convention will do, but there isn’t a particle of evidence at present that it will nominate Professor Fisher for governor. DID _— ‘WOODEN BRIDGES OBSOLETE. Evidence continues to accumulate that many of the bridges throughout the state are unable to stand the weight of the heavy trucks which have come into use of late, There have been three instances in Berlin, where a bridge has given way under the heavy weight. This has long been expected, and it is quite natural that it should be so. Cities are protesting against the use of heavy trucks on permanent pavement, and as their routes throughout the state take them through various towns, bridges crossed that have been bullt for years, are unable to stand the weight, and in the end the trucks go through them with a crash. It is really necessary that every town should make a careful examination of these structures, if to are as- not make certain their condition and safe to take some action them safe. The plank bridge has outlived its usefulness in Connecticut, and there are many of them, not perhaps on the main highways, but along well tray- elled roadways, and the towns may yet be asked to pay a sum for repairs and damages that will equal in cost almost what it would require to build a new bridge. The wooden bridge is no longer equal to the demands that are being made upon it. That was a heavy blow delivered by Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish of Newport when she declared that if women re- formed their style of dress there wolild be fewer ' divorces.—New Haven Union, FACTS AND FANCL After all. there is very little dif- ference either in langnage or style be tween Europe's rulers’ speeches blam- ing the war on each other, and two prize fighters threatening and bons ing before the battle, or Ban Johnson expressing his opinion of Dave Fultz —Waterbury Republican.

Report has it that counsel for Mrs. Wakefield propose to file an appeal from the verdict of the jury finding her guilty of murder in the second degree. That is her and thelr privilege and it puts up to the su- preme court the question whether she received a proper trial in the su- perior court. That question settled, unless she is granted a new triai, there is nothing left for the accused except to commence the serving of her sentence, To the lay mind there is not much doubt of the outcome. —Ansonia Sentinel. A one-ideaed man is as much of a bore or a crank as the most indolent rider of a hobby—one who never gets deep enough into any subject to make it interesting to himself, or himself interesting to others. To have a hobby a person must de- vote himself to some special study or sport or game or thing which has in it both work and pleasure; and it is not saying too much for a hobby to aver that because of a hobby some men have had brought to their minds the joy in work which produces the skilled workmen in every calling in life.—Norwich Bulletin. A Discredit to His Union. (st. Louis Republic.) On Wednesday a hearse, bearing the body of a St. Louis manufactur- er to the grave, was stopped on Kings- highway by the walking delegate of the local carriage drivers’ union, be- cause the other vehicles in the pro- cession were not owned or controlled by the local association of undertak- ers. A delay resulted, which wus only ended by telephoning for an- nther hearse and transferring the cof- fin, After forty-five minutes of anx- jety and fear on the part of the grief- stricken friends, the procession moved on. The walking delegate in question should not be left in his place until the. general community has had time \to ‘express itself, He should be thrown out by his own union, neck apd crop. His fellow-members $hquld remind him that even in the course of the bloodiest war, hostil- ities are, suspended hile each side burfes its dead... Such action would .| cicarly demonstrate to the commu- nity, but a small part of which knows the spirit of union labor by actual observation, that the brutality which was so flagrantly exhibited Wednes- day is that of an individual and not an organization. There is no man who ganized workingmen intimately does not know that the sins against human feeling and personal rights occasionally committed by union rep- resentatives are nowhere so sincere- 1y deplered as within the unions them- selves. But the general public has no way of knowing the temper of unifonism except by the observati)n of the acts of union officials. This i why there ought to be. in the in- terest of a public opinion fair to the union labor movement, official repro- bation of such brutal outrages on de- cency as that committed on Kings- highway vesterday. The ranks of union labor are filled by men of sym- pathy and affection—human beings first and workingmen acting collec- tively second. As a class they no more approve such acts as the one in ques- tien than the rest of us do. The Re phblic calls on the union labor forces of St. Louls to express themselves. knows or- wh A Victim of The War, (Richmond Times-Dispatch.) The one man tn Europe who stands out as deserving pity Is Francis Joseph, emperor of Austria-Hungary. More than 80. decrepit, bowed down by a lifetime of bereavement, he is now called on to face the long-dreaded and blasting world war. There are’ insinuations in more than one quarter that the old man has lost the fine edge of his judgment, and is controlled by the rampant war party that for some years appears to have dominated Austria. This party, com- posed of scheming ahd over-reaching politicians, know they must have the at least nominal consent of the old man before they embark on war., What pressure they have brought to bear on him and what tales they have pcured in his ears will never he known. He had hoped to end his days in peace. Throughout his life he has been exposed to the most cruel of per- sonal tragedies. One has followed on the heels of another, giving verity to the superstition that the house of Hapsburg was under a curse. And now comes the crowning tragedy, with Turope, as it NOW is constituted, tumbling about his ecars, and the ation for the strife thrust upon is one of the most pathetic figures of history. When he should be in some smiling, peaceful retreat, playing with grandchildren, he is in the midst of alarms, beset by flatter- ers, the prey of every unscrupulous schemer that gains his ear, GOOD ARRAY OF NEW BOOKS NAMED IN INSTITUTE'S LIST THIS WEEK LITERATURE, Art of the Short Story.

As an economical theory it is reasonable, and as a fact it is per- sistent. Nevertheless. it is a strange affair. The house is, in itself, strange, Those of us who are possessed by the foolish mania for looking into new houses have been impressed with the strangeness of the empty double, with its Alice-Through-the-Looking Glass sort of arrangement. Twin fireplaces stand back to back. Twin stairways climb up opposite walls, There are twin pantries, twin sinks and so on through the house to the twin clothes posts in the back yard, the twin coal bins in the basement, twin closets and twin bath tubs up- stairs and twin cubby holes in the at- tic, A double house is ridiculous in its likenesses when it is empty, but it is bathetic in its differences when it is occupied. One side is polished and scrubbed and cared for, while the twin side, which started out just as bravely, is neglected and disreputable. One gide is brimming over with fun and the other side is brimming over with trouble. It is a part of the strangeness of the double house that the two familieg living in it are so close together that they remain far apart, even when they sit on the same porch and sprinkle different parts of the same lawn, Another strange thing about the double house is its popularity. Soon- er or later almost everybody is per- suaded or compelled to live in one. There are double houses everywhere, from the $10 to the $100 neighbor- hood, and if we do not want to buy a house or live in a flat we rent double. Perhaps the thing strang about a double house is its self-assur- It springs up with the buoy- and abandon of the dandelion, never asking whether or not It is wanted. Tndeed, it is so secure in its egotism that it never occurs to it that everybody is not glad to see it. Tt is diffcult to understand just what a double is so proud of unless it is like some people and takes pleasure in being peculiar, but, whether there ls a reason or not, double houses are proud and socially ambitious, hey flock to the corners in the vicinity of big houses and they hover about ance, ancy the mildly aristocratic bungalow neighborhoods, crowding in wherever they can find room. They have garages sometimes and in New 1 land they are fashionably dellgn:i? as “semi-detached houses. Has the Worm Turnes (Kansas City Journal) The unexpected always happens, of course, but the public is hardly pre- pared for the unprecedented spectacle of a farmer being fined because he re- fused to permit a motorist to pass him. The central figure in this sen- sational novelt agriculturist near Columbia, who was driving an empty wagon along the road, and, although an eager autoist behind him pleaded for him to turn far enough to allow the car to pass, the ‘©bstinate son of the soil turned a deaf ear to the appeals, Even after the motorist had climbed into the wagon and shouted his view of the situation into the farmer's ecar, thereby de- stroying the alibi which is always of- fered under such clrcumst no relief was forthcoming. viction, fine and presumable payment followpd in bewildering succession. Times have surely changed when the motorist can find himself on the long end of the score in the game of the road. It scems only yesterday when the favorite pastime of the rura; pleasure seeker was to “pot” the men who were fortunate enough to own automobiles. There was always an “open season” on motorists in the good old days when the *“devil wag- was an out other live stock in their wake; when the hand of the motorist was against every man and every man’s hand was against him—in the country. When the era of the six-shooter or shotgun gave way to the countr, justice of the peace, the entry opposite the name of the man with the antomobile was usually “guilty.” The id that anybody but an automobile driver is ever in the wrong belongs to the new- er day when justice has teken off her bandage and looks out upon the world with a kindlier eye.

An idea originating in a western town of setting aside a “take it back" day, when every borrower shall re- turn to their owners artcles they have borrowed during the year, is spreading. Boston has adopted it and this week will “take it back.” Kveryone grows tired of a persistent borrower, yet the number is ever in- The borrower {s usually in failing to recognize the necessity of repaying the little obli- gations to others, The “take it back” plan was de- vised to meet the evil. On a date an- nounced there is generous publicity given to the plan of returning what has been borrowed and kept. By making the idea public, by empha- sizing the necessity and importance of the act of returning borrowed ar- ticles, the sense of personal obliga- tion is thereby deepened. Reports indicate that the idea has worked well, Boston is the largest city that has thus far tried the plan. It will be in- teresting to note the results, 1 it will work in a city so large it may safely be tried in others, “No Fightinz Here.” (Chicago Herald.) Many thousands of Americans of European birth or extraction are deeply stirred by the wars begun or threatened across the Atlantic, Their emotions are natural. Their brothers in race and in blood are fighting and dying. Their hearts are hot—their hands stretch out—to help . their brothers. But we must have no fighting here. The appalling calamity which has come upon Europe through the mad- ness of monarchs—through the in- sanity of statesmen—is in many ways our calamity. The very great major- ity of us are not of the European races. With the old lands across the sea we have all sorts of ties—of tra- dition, of remembrance—of recent migration and actual kinship. But we are Amerjcans, and this is not our war. Our government has done all it could to avert this hellish strife. As a nation we view it with profouna sorrow. We will be called upon to aid its victims. We should be ready to do all we ¢ But as a nation we can have neither friends nor foes in Europe now.
