There is no argument for free trade | ad it is nonsensical to be discussing atters from that standpoint. It ould be impossible to have free ade in a country such as the United ~tes without forcing the people to ¥y a heavy tax to meet the expenses the government.

Governor Baldwin has made the statement publicly that he will not accept a renomination for the present office, but that he would ac- cept a nomination for senator, and such a statement coming from a man Itke Baldwin generaliy means what it says. He is not given to idle utterances and those who who know him believe that it is the office he has expressed a willingness 'for that he will accept and that only. It seems to be pretty well under- stood that Congressman Mahan is for Senator Landers for governor and that it is he who will be nominated, pos- sibly on the first ballot.

The route for those who land at Liverpool or Southampton is to go to Dover and cross the English channel, landing at Calais, where they take the train for Paris, or land at.Ostend in Belglum, from whence they go down through to Switzerland and other countries in that section. It is in Belgium that the famous battlefield of Waterloo is lo- cated, which is visited by thou- sands of tourists every vear. The touring companies which are to be found all over Europe will undoubted- 1y include Liege in their itinerary in future as well as some of the other | places with which people are becom- ing more or less familiar as a result of tke whr. It would not be surprising to see European travel increased as a result of the present conflict. Every one is reading the news such as it is, and there will naturally be a desire to see the places which are now likely to be historic and what place is there more historic than Liege, which has been and is being the scene of more fighting than any other spot in Europe for some time? There never was a which there were as many people reading about as at present, the foreign element not here long enough to read Fnglish recetving newspapers from the old country and they can be seen in knots of three or four stinding against a fence in New Britain while one of them reads and the others listen. This is being done during the noon hour while waiting for the whistle to sammon them to work for the after- noon. Pgople who never heard - of | Liege before are now talking about it, war : wondering how the forts look after eem to be able | being bombarded for several days. The moving picture man also has more work cut out for him and when he re- turns with his films showing the | scenes of the present struggle all will want to see them. It will not only be interesting but educational, BASEBALL TEAM MAY QUIT. { The reports today are _that | the New Britain baseball team is | about to end its career in this city. | The manager has lost money, like | many of his predecessors, and unless | he can make good his payments to the league he must quit. He must | be given credit for going as far as he has under such conditions. His | team is at the bottom of the list and | it has lost so many games, home games at that, that the patronage has fallen off and oftentimes the audience has been very small, but the manager has stuck to his job, is still there, and if given help by the league, as he should be, would probably finish the season. The conditions in New Brit- ain are much different from those in many other Connecticut cities. In the first place the great majority of the people here work in the factories end they cannot afford to leave their employment to attend ball games. Those engaged in business will not at- tend the games for some reason and in order to get by the management must have a winning team and must play on Saturday when the shops are closed for the afternoon. The attendance in the other cities in this league is light especially in Waterbury, but they play Sundays there and this helps out as it does in New Haven and Bridgeport. These places are also larger than New Bri- tain and the baseball management has more people to draw from, so that all things considered there is much evidence for the belief that this is a poor baseball city and that the only things that will make the game pay here are a winning team and Saturday games. The . present management probably knows this theroughly by { this time, - siie e g T COMMUNICATED. | _— | World Postal Service. Editor Herald:— | In what a plight we find ourselves today—with a $400,000,000 ship canal on our hands and with scarce a ship of our own to use it; of our citizens in warring Europe and hardly a single vessel available to bring them home or for the transport of our foreign ma with millions of bushels of foodstuff in our granari and yet dependent upon private transport speculators for home distribution, and while the for- eign shipping upon which we have depended for our ocean service is shut out of use by the war, without practically any machinery—private or public—for sending our surplus to starving Europe, Verily, this condi- tion of things is unendurable. The world needs a system of ocean postal transports, cecure from attacl under all conditions and the Unitel States of America now has an oppor- tunity to inaugurate such a world ocean peace service by purchasing the best of the world's ocean transports now turned out of commission by the war. Yes, and we may wel] invite our sister states. of both the Americas and all other neutral nations to join with us in this great enterprise. The United States senate has just passed the Weeks bill, “a bill to establish one or mere U. S. naval mail lines between the United States, South America and ‘Europe,” looking to this end, but we submit that this bill, con- fining the new service to a few of our existing naval veassels—the secretary of the navy proposes -seven war cruisers of an average capacity of twenty male passengers and 150 tons of mail matter, four passenger and freight steamers of an average ca- pacity of seventy-five first class and thirty-two steerage passengers of both sexes and 11,000 (ons of freight-and six colllers carrying no passengers and only 6,000 tons, the average ship— we submit that this proposed service altogether fails to meet the demands of the situation. We want a government vcean trans- port service that shall cover the com- mercial and mail service of all the world and we want the aid of every peace loving nation on this earth in its extension and development. ‘We have therefore presented for the consideration of our friends a substitute for“the Weeks bill, - pro- viding for the appropriation of money enough to purchase the best of the ex- isting merchant ships that can be se- cured and to construct as many others as in the judgmen- of the secretary of the navy may be needed to meet the present situation and for the sup- port of this service we have provided that the tolls levied shall be deter- mined strictly on the principle of the cost of the service :endered; the tolls freight to be determined by the weight and the space occupied, re- gardless of the character of the mat- ter transported, and ror all traffic, Ocean Transport regardless of differences of distance traversed within the runs of the var- ious vessels. The management of this business at Washington is in the hands of Con- gressmen Thomas L. Reilly of Con- necticut and William J. McDonald of Michigan, and we pray our friends to assure these gentlemen of their cordial approval of this proposed leg- islation, JAMES L.

Editor - Herald: Could you tell me if the events of the Odd Fellows' are open only to members? If you will publish the answer in Friday's Herald I will be much obliged. Yours truly, A STEADY READER (W. D.) This year’s field day events of the 0dd Fellows, which are to take place at the Berlin Fair grounds on Au- gust 22, are to be open only to mem- bers. However, the mile race and the 100 yard dash, as well as all of the comic events, will be open to any 0dd Fellow in the state. If the Odd Fellows had their con- tests open to the public they would have to run them under the auspices of the A. A. U. and they were not ready to take that step this year. If this year's field day provés a success, however, the plan is to have the one next. year a state day and to run it under the sanction of the Amateur athletic field day Athletic Union.

Many styles of pure cambric embroide: lace and ribbon Mill trimmed lace and embroidery, the pronouncement of writer in the British Medical Journal, London. Everyone knows that the rejected lover may suffer loss of ap- petite, waste of tissue and depression of spirits. Burton, in his “Anatomy of Melancholy,” treats at length of the peculiar varfety of melancholy due to despised love, and accounts its symptoms by the dozen; according to Plato, Emperdocles, the philosopher, who was present at the cutting up of one that died for love, reported that “his heart was combust, his liver smoky, his lungs dried up, insomuch that he verily believed his soul was either sodden or roasted through the vehemency of love's fire.” The English writer goes on to say: afterwards that counts. Perhaps the only exception is found in the case of the man who runs by the car be- fore it stops at a terminal and crowds into the place he wants be- fore the passengers have had time to allght, and retains it at all hazards from that time on.—Hartford Times. Tuesday evening's storm gave the permanent pavements of the streets of Waterbury a pretty severe test, and after the inventory of damage was taken some of the most condemned bits of pavement were found to have stood the attack much better than others’ which were considered super- jor. The bitulithic of East Main, Wil- low and West streets and the wood block pavements about the center proved equal to the sudden savage test.—Waterbury Republican. It seems strange that with a bum- per crop of wheat and no chance to export it that the price of flour should be increased. If President Wilson can ascertain the cause of this as well as those Who promoted it there will be a loud demand for the attorney general to get busy and there will be no change of venue allowed either. “From an Itallan medical journal of recent date we learn that Dr. F. Barrett, whom we are unable to identify, and to whose work no ref- erence is given, holds that love is an intoxication of the nervous centers. The circulatory system may be af- fected, especially if the patient i voung and is suffering from a first attack. This recalls Galen's story of how he diagnosed the case of a voung girl who was thought by her anxious parents to be dying. Believ- ing that nothing more than love sickness was the matter, the astute physician had the suspected object trimmed, back and front. SATEEN PETTICOATS. Usual price 59c, Mill End Sale Price 29c.

DAILY DELIVERY in New Britain, Elmwood, Newington, Cedar Hill, Maple brought into her presence, meanwhile keeping his hand on her wrist. The sight of the young man quickened the maiden’s pulse to a rate that left no doubt in Galen's mind as to the cause of her indisposition. Dr, Bar- rett, we are told, has made re- searches on the blood of people in love, and has found marked leucocy- tosis. “If the disease is not speedily cured, love may lead to neurasthenia, and it also predisposes to tuberculosis. It is high time, he con- cludes, that we should think of de- vising a purely medical treatment for love, What form is this to take? The bacillus of love has not yet been dis- covered, and therefore no vaccine is available for the cure of the disease. Montaigne also thought™ that love should be treated by medicine. As translated by John Florio, he says: ‘Philosophy thinketh she hath not il imployed hir meanes. having yeeld- ed the soveraign rule of our mind, and the authoritie to restraine our appetites, unto reason which, those who judge there is none more violent than those which love bagetteth. have this for their opinion, that they holde both of body and soule; and man wholly possessed with them; so that health is selfe de- pended of them, and physick is some- times constrained to serve them." We are left in the dark by Dr. Barrett as to the exact line of ‘purely medical is | treatment’ to ve adopted for the cure Amongst | Hill and Clayton. of love, and we venture to think that it will laugh at physic as it proverb- ially does at locksmiths. It is prob- | able that none of the many methods described in Ovid’s ‘Remedies Amoris’ has ever cured any lover of his dis- ease. The chief difficulty in the way of successful treatment lies in the fact thai the patient, as a rule, ‘does not wish #o be cured.” Car Fares By Zones. (Seattle Post-Intelligencer.) Cleveland has been forced to aban- don in part its three-cent fare sy tem for the simple reason that it was found impossible to carry passengers at a profit at that rate. The present change abolishes the free transfer system and requires the passenger to pay an additional cent for every transfer issued him. Under the new rule the actual cost in street car fare to some remote districts will reach cents which the three-cent small. The recent change in the rule in Cleveland iz probably the first step toward the creation of a zone sys- tem within the city, Wwith different rates of fare in each zone On commercial considerations alone system undoubtedly the proper one. The rate of pay can then be exactly proportioned to the ser- vices renderef. Theoretically, to charge one man the same rate of fare for a ride of half a dozen blocks that another man pays for a of the city Thelzone in fare applies is seven the zone ride of as many miles is inequitable Probably every street car company in the land would be willing to adopt the zone system and would carry passengers anywhere within a brief radius of the business tenter of a city for three cents But certainly the larger interests of the community are furthered by the, present system, which encourages the population to spread out, which militates against congestion and which makes it possible for a man of small means to own his own home, several miles from his place of busi- ness or employment, and yet to reach his work at no larger money ex- penditure daily than if he were a resi- dent of the congested part of the city. The suggestion is made by the Busi- ness Men's association that when the state convention of the Ancient Or- der of Hibernians is held here next Tuesday and Wednesday the business houses and citizens generally shail recognize the presence of these visit- ors from all parts of the state by a display of flags and appropriate dec- orations. The suggestion is a good one and well worth following. 1In fact nothing more than the suggestion ought to be necessary (o produce lively cooperation in showing the delegates and their friends that New London is glad to welcome them. —New London Day.
