Favorable comment is being made in some of the newspapers on the ac- tion of trolley companies between New York and Boston giving outing trips through New England for two and three days, the only objection being the persistency of some of the com- panies in using only closed cars and keeping the doors shut even on the warmest days. It does not need any argument to prove that such trips should be made in open cars, beeause the main object of those who take them is to see the country and enjoy the scenery. If they are to be shut up in a closed car they must suffer from the heat and are also deprived nt as that.because up to the time )\ascended the rostrum no one has sought to make it a political tion. Gowvernor Baldwin has never had a pmoczatic legislature back of him, last\body being @ivided, the sen- being) of that political complexion ha? the house republican, and in the dous session both branches were publican \and all know that the bvernor vetoed a number of appro- riations onithe ground of economy,. nd were it \not for his vetoes the bt of the state would he much riger than it«is today. These appro- Faltions were . supported by. republi- as well as democrats, and it is bily {to charge it up to any political rty, salthough if .that is to be done. he responsibility should be placed here itibelongs. The trouble in Con- jecticut ' 1s that the state has. gotten to a happy-go-lucky way of tran- hoting its financial business and so r the legislature has stubbornly re- used\to permit any change, although mportuned to do so. Back in 1909 effort was' made to institute some of the sightseeing. Properly conducted there does not seem to be any good reason why trol- ley trips should not prove pleasant to the passengers and profitable to the companies. The trolley is made profitable in its every day business by those who ‘ride for pleasure, If it were not for this class of patronage it i{s doubtful if the averdge tlollp}' line would pay. It is the opportunity to,be out in the air, to get the breeze “that comes .across the green fields, from, the woods and’ the speed of the cars that makes the trips popular and it is' the'loss. of. this patronage that reduces thé revenue of the companies in the cold wWeather, The trolley is the automobile of the poor, if it was not for it it 1s difficult to concetve what they would do, especially during the warm weather, not to speak of the summer resort proprietor who ‘obtains a large portion of his patron- age from those who use the trolley line as a means of travel. The tours spoken above should prove popular and the cost should be light. There is no reason why a great many people 'orm along financial lines, but the ders objected and the matter had o\be abandoned, not that the remedy ‘not avgood: one or was not needed, but! because tt was not wanted, The stem of }og rolling, which has come nto :the legislature has resulted in he making of appropriations with- but any: thought or care as to where the moneytis to come from.

NO WAR LOANS. Those whe have been inclined to | criticise the authorities at Washing- ton for objecting to any war loans being made to France will upon more mature deliberation agree that the objection is well founded. Such a re- quest must be viewed from another standpoint than that of private busi- ness. The war is having a depressing effect upon trade; the object in ob- triking example being when a normal hool was located in Danbury d\of Waterbury which wanted and:if it had been located there it uld have better served the state. Mayor Wilson has served a good burpose in calling attention to this natter atyany rate, for the more dis- bussion is)given it the quicker will ne the application of the remedy. will have to come soon for the rea- on that the:debt is increasing and uch a condition cannot go on. for- er, although there is no telling what nay be done if the towns and cities 11 continue to send men to the legis- Jature to vote for a state tax. As long that is done there will be no econ- omy practised. L e RABIES. There hasn't been as much talk rabies this year as last and the eason probably is that greater pre- cautions are being taken both in the reatment of those bitten by dogs and ceoping canines closed up so that they cannot do any damage. Hydro- phobia is a most peculiar disease and ihere are many physiclans who claim that it is more rare than some others are willing to admit. It is also a good jdea to inquire pretty thoroughly into a case hefore it is put down as rabies. New York despatches say that a fourteen years old boy died in Belle- yue hospital yesterday from rabies. He was bitten by his own pet dog al- most three years ago and was again | bitten by the same dog with Which he | ‘was playing three weeks ago. He ‘paid no attention to the wound until Jast Sunday when he was taken Il red to the hospital where The dog has taining the loan is to strengthen the French army, enable it to continue the war and when this end is accom- plished the more business is injured in the United States. If it was con- sidered good policy to make a large loan to France it might also be con- sidered good policy to make a loan to Russia, Germany, Austria or even Great Britain, all for the same pur- pose and once the bars were let down there is no telling where the matter might end. If this couniry is to maintain the strictest neutrality it does,not seem as if it can give help, financial or otherwise, to any of the countries engaged in the war. There is another reason why latge war loans should not be made, and it is that the money is needed at home. Business will improve just as soon it has the chance, and When that comes there ought not to be any ob- stacles, especially in the way of a lack of money. The longer the war con- tinues just so long will its effect be felt on business everywhere, and when it is over this country should be able to increase its trade in all foreign countries. The people have come to & new understanding in relation to for- eign business, and the government at | Washington cannot be too particular in enforcing neutrality, a violation of which might throw us into a jot of trouble, involving other things besides money. At last violators of the automobile law have reached Middletown and the first case of note was in the local court ! this morning. To be sure other vio- Jators should have been there, but the stiff fine handed out will probably cause others to think before striking Middletown for a swift ride and a gay time.—Middletown Penny Press, algm (of rabies:but has:heen | l FACTS AND FANCIES.

Manchester, Conn., has received a supply of lamp standards and is re- joicing at the prospect of opening a Great White Way within a few days.

It is immensely pleasing to learn, in the midst of the report of death and suffering'in Europe, of some incidents that prove the decency of human na- ture, under stress. Such an incident is that which happened at Berlin the other day, when, at a meeting of 500 Americans stranded in the city, a num- Ler of citizens offered to take as guests as many Americans as their house could accommodate, The mayor of the city himself said that he would gladly “put up” three. There can hardly be any very marked hostility to Ameri- cans in Germany when the people of her capital will act as graciously and as hospitably as that.—Boston Post. The Long Engagement. (Providence Journal.) In a West Virginia town along in the summer of 1890 a young man named Aleck visited the town clerk’s office and ebtained a license warrant- ing him to enter the bonds of wed- lock with a young woman named Euphemia. Presumably he was happy and hopeful, according to all the traditions of these preliminary proceedings. The other day, just twenty-four years later, Aleck reap- peared in the same office, returned the ancient document and asked for his money back. In explanation he stated that he and Euphemia always meant to get married, but she never seemed to be ready just when he was. So they ‘““worried along” for twenty- four years until finally, as Aleck said, “I told her either we’d get married or we wouldn’'t. Euphemia 'lowed we ‘wouldn’t; so I reckon we won't.” There is a mild undertone of pathos in this story ‘despite ‘its superficial humbor and the tone of nonchalance with which’ the near-bridegroom re- cited the facts. In the course of these twenty-four years of dalliance there must have been more than a few times of disappointment on both sides. Still, it is not likely that the ease iy serious enough to calk for any . pro- found .commiseration. There is a negative quality about an attachment that cem drift thus placidly and aim- lessly for an interminable period. With a more nervous couple there might be an intolerable suspense in hovering for twenty-four years on the very verge of the matrimonial preci- pice, but the rural habit of mimd of- ten breeds a distinctly philosophical outlook, and it is easy to imagine that through all these years Aleck and Euphemia were able to remain calm and unperturbed. After a few yvears probably one becomes habitu- ated even to the extraordinary mnov- elty of possessing a perfectly good marriage license. Perhaps, with all the attendant circumstances, this case is unique in history, but long engagements are by no means uncommon, especially in rural regions, and occasionally there may have been one that even exceed- ed this in point of time. In all prob- ability this couple decided upon ex- actly the right method of terminating a too-protracted courtship. With slowly-aroused determination Aleck finally expressed his ultimatum like a gentleman, and with the wisdom of a mature and sensible woman Euphe- mia ‘“’lowed we wouldn’t.” In all common sense, it comes to the point that after a reasonable lapse of years any marital engage- ment should be terminated one way or the other. Unless certain eco- nomic obstacles have intervened, a period of four years is as long as an engagement should exist. If it ex- tends longer than that merely through the deadening effects of its own inertia, it may be considered a fairly good sign that the union is ill- advised. As for a twenty-four-year engagement, it is simply preposter- ous. And yet, if after all their un- certain advancing and retreating Aleck and Euphemia should event- ually settle down to a belated partner- ship, most observers would speak of it as a “'very romantic affair.” The Wisdom of Sol. (Detroit Free Press.) King Solomon, in. almost all his glory, was again presiding over com- mon pleas court No, 1. “Snuggitts versus bawled the court crier. Mrs. Snuggitts, a pretty little Egyptian woman in a becoming minaret gown, stepped forward, fol- lowed rather sheepishly by Mr. Snug- gitts. Mrs. Snuggitts held a.small bottle in her hand. “Your sapiency,” explained Mns. Snuggitts, “my husband’'s heart stopped beating for hours at a time because he drank so much coffee, and the doctor ordered him to stop drink- ing coffee entirely and to take a tea- spoonful of this medicine every half hour. He has stopped the coffee, your wiseship, but I can’t for the life of me get him to take the medicine. He absolutely refuses." “Tastes fierce!” muttered Mr. Snug- gitts. “H'm!” reflected Solomon. “H'm. I suppose you want to know how to make him' take it?" “Yes, yes!” cried Mrs. Snuggitts. “Give him each dose in a cup of coffee,” said the great jurist “Hurrah!" cried Mr. Snuggitts, and dashed out of the courtroom waving his hat and followed by his wife, who was thinking deeply. Snuggitts!™ WHAT OTHERS SAY Views on all sides of timely questions as discussed in ex- changes that come to Herald office, War and the Little Nations. (Chicago Daily News.) Regardless of the bearing that the fighting at Liege has upon the larger aspects of the European war one must | think it has an important bearing | upon the future of the “little peoples” | of the world. The inténse patriotism cf the Belgians is a type of the pa- triotism found in other small coun- | tries. Loving their institutions and their freedom, which is the safeguard of their institutions, they are at once | good neighbors to the great powers and yet dangerous enemies when they have reason to fear oppression from beyond the borders. Belgium has fought with a degree of courage and success that has| astonished all beholders—for what? To maintain its neutrality. If a small | nation shows favoritism when its big | rieighbors g0 to war it becomes a mere | pawn in the grim game and soon may find itself a part of the victor's spoils | 1€ its lot was cast with the loser. Thus | fai in the war Belgium, Servia and Montenegro have shown superb fight- ing qualities in the face of superior | forces. Other small nations of Europe doubtless wouhl give a good account of themselves if they were | forced to take sides. "Were is reason to think that the Poles of Austria, Germany and Russia are entering into the war in a blaze of | national spirit, hoping to win by their | valor the right to re-establish ancient Pcland. Since their sympathies are on the side of Germany and Austria- Fungary and strongly against Russia their achievements should especially impress those empires with the un- conquerable devotion of peoples who though small in numbers, passionate- ly cherish the customs and traditions that have kept them united and hop- ing for independence. When in the British house of com- mons the other day, the prime minis- ter, Mr. Asquith, declared that Britain in this war would defend the integrity of small nations there were cheers from the Irish nationalists. The “little peoples” are asserting their rights in more ways than one. To Think Over. (Waterbury American. ‘Why, after all, this haste and ea- gerness to get ships to carry food to Europe? We need it here. Prices are already going up in anticipation of the drain to feed the combatants, who have turned their ploughshares into swords and are not able to raise for themselves, But why should we do it; especially to our disadvantage? Eetter let them starve, They will stop fighting.the sooner. Why this pressure to make a loan of a hundred millions to one or an- other of the fighting nations? . They need three things—food, gold and .mu- rition of war. Let us keep our gold as well as our food. We have goad use for both. But it is good business. The money for this loan might be kept in this eountry-to pay for foodstuffs sent over. Resides we owe Europe many millions and this is the very oppurnity to pay. But if you saw a madman running amuck down the street and recollected that you owe him some money would vou run out and buy him a pistol and ammunition in order to discharge your dept? Do the farmers who have the grain to sell and the bankers who want to make the loan need the money enough to justify so liberal a contribution to war, Little Héard of Webster. (Hartford Cor. New Haven Sunday Union.) Very little is heard now about the candidacy of Speaker Morris C. Weh- ster of the last session as the pos- sible candidate of the Republican party for governor. It was at one time thought that Mr. Webster would be forced on the convention by the agricultural interests. But- Mr. Web- ster’'s boom soon subsided. Perhaps the story of an incident in which ex- Gov. Rollin S. Woodruff and Mr. Webster figured may fit in here. When Mr. Woodruff was inaugurated governor, Mr. Webster was the build- ing and loan commissioner—a posi- tion which is as near a sinecure as it is possible for a position to be without being absolutely so. Mr. Webster called at the executive office to pay his respects to Gov. Woodruff and in the course of the remarks Mr. Web- ster sald that if the governor wished to appoint another to succeed him | he would, 'as a patriotic American citizen, bow to the will of his ex- cellency. Governor Woodruff, in the blandest manner, commended Mr. Webster for his patriotic sentiment. Some of those to whom Mr. Webster related the incident - inferred from what Gov. Woodruff had said that he would continue Mr. Webster in the position of building and loan com- missioner. When the time came for making the appointment another was | chosen by the governor. The on consolation that Mr. Webster's | friends in New Britaln, of which he | was ' formerly mayor, could find in | the change was that the new com- missioner was a resident of New Britain. The great west is finding the polit- lcal boss irrepressible. It makes no difference whether the convention sys- tem or the primary is in operation, the boss readily gets in his work. There | is no doubt the shrewd political boss | is finding the primary system cheaper | end easier to work than the conven- tlon system. We talk about the will of the people, but in practical politics it does not play the part it should or is expected to. The will of 40 per cent or more of the voters is to stay away from the polls: and in the primaries the vote is so slow that it cannot with Fonesty be called an expression of the | will of the majority. The will of many | voters is simply the will of the po- litical boss and his sustainers.—Nor- ‘ wich Bulletin, A Peculiar Cat. (Chicago Tribune.) Mike is a black and brown tortoise colored alley cat with unusual ways. Among the modern and civilized things that Mike does is to take a swim in the bathtub each morning, act as a playfellow to the canary bird, and race with the swiftness of ‘'a Nancy Hanks after its oyner to wotk up an appetite for breakfast. In the year's brief span of life neither a rat nor a mouse has crossed Mike's ‘path., The alley cat has been s0 hopelessly lost in civilization that a rat could pass by unrecognized, without arousing the feline instinct for destructiveness, Mrs. Pauline E. Willison of 128 East Grand avenue found Mike, nine days old, in an alley with many broth- ers and sisters. She brought Mike up on a bottle, she said. “When a kitten I threw Mike into the bathtub for a swim,” said Mrs. Willison, “Now I cannot leave a basin of water around, for Mike just loves to stand in a basin of water. In warm days the cat swims in the bath- tub three times a day. At the bath- ing beach I tie a string around his neck to keep Mike from going too far out from the shore. Sitting under a hose'is the cat's delight. “Mike never has had any antipathy for Teddy, the canary, either. One of the cat's pastimes is to doze with one eye open while the canary hops about on a pillow or sings on the back of a chair. Sometimes the bird brushes Mike’s seven inch .whiskers, but there is no disturbance between the two at all.” The cat sits up like a dog and en- joys being treated roughly. Although Mike weighs seventeen pounds, noth- ing can be more agile than the erst- while alley cat. Ald. Hugo Krause of the Anti- Cruelty society approved of Mike's sanitary way of bathing and said the beaches should be open to animals as well as human beings, The Uneasy Sea. (St. Louis Republic.) But a few weeks ago ocean travel was about as exciting as a street-car ride, and by no means as dangerous. Ships came and. went between the eastern and western Atlantic shores as regularly as ferryboats and with no more thrills for their passengers than you get on a commuter’s train. It's different now. You get a thousand emotions for your passage money. Every sudden sputter and crackle of the wireless sends a thrill down the line of deck chairs; it may be a warning of the coming of some commerce destroyer. Every finger- smudge of smoke on the horizon may be the belching funnels of some hard- driven battle cruiser seeking a prize. Tvery fog bank may hold a battle squadron, gray-painted, dun-funneled, stripped for action or for prize-tak- ing. The drum of thunder over the héri- zon spells the roaring of gun turrets where once it stirred but vague inter- est. And ' the thrill of plowing through the dark ‘with the hatches covered, the ship a speck of blackness in the gloom of a. moonlit or starlit waste! The voyager gets all the sen- sations that tingle along the spines of blockade runners. Every ship is an enemy until it is definitely known as a friend. The friendly ocean becomes vaguely menacing. There is menace in the winds, the sweep of the sea, the unknown toward which the ship is hastening and the wall of waters piled to the circling horizon. The famillar becomes the unfamiliar in the eyes of the worried and fleeing. Nightfall is only a little more of a menace than the dawn. The prowling cruisers off the head- lands deepen the feeling of vague threat., There are rumors of mine- laying in the channels, bays and land-locked seas. At any moment the screw may foul one of a string of floating mines and disaster come, and death, in the muffled roar of a melin- ite charge. The ship quivers from the beat of the engines and the twist of the driving screws, but there seems a new quality of apprehension and uneasiness in the vibrations. The ocean traveler a-hungered for adventure’s thrills can get them now in these the first days of a great war. The sea is full of rumors, flung on invisible rays from vessel to vessel. It is no time for a sufferer from in- cipient neurosis to go down to the sea in ships. The Biggest American Ship. (Seattle Post-Intelligencer.) Withdrawal from the oriental trade and either the sale or the charter of the steamship Minnesota, greatest of the world's over ocean cargo carriers, to another line is being considered by officials of the Great Northern Steam- ship company. It has been common rumor in Seattle since the European war began that the Minnesota was soon to be disposed of to England and would be operated by new owners within the next few weeks. The desire of the Hill interests to dispose of the Minnesota is a result «f plans to devote their entire ener- gies in the operation of the new ex- press liners Great Northern and Northern Pacific, nearing completion at the yards of the Willlam Cramp & Sons ship and engine building com- rany, Philadelphia, at a cost of $4,- 000,000 for the Spokane, Portland and Seattle rallway company. The Great Northern has been launched and will be ready to leave for this coast before the end of the year. She will pro- ceed to San Francisco through the Panama canal. Her sister ship, the Northern Pacific is rapidly nearing completion and will be ready for launching in a few weeks. The v sels will be operated between Astoria and San Francisco. The war in Europe and the tying up of the British and German steamships has caused a great demand for Ameri- can bottoms and the Great Northern steamship company has placed its great craft in the market at the most ravorable time. It is said that the higher officials of the company have been looking for both Atlantic and Pacific buyers, and that the vessel might be sold on the east coast and placed in the European trade.

Passengers Relate Sufferings. A party of sixteen young women from Tennessee and South Carolina v'ho returned on the Marquette told of going for long intervals without food or sleep. During the ride from Paris to Antwerp the only place they had to sleep was the floor of a third-class carriage and their only food was a loaf of bread and a jar of jam.
