Room: POPE PIUS X DEAD. ‘ One finds it easy to see in the life of Pope Pius X, who died last even- Ing, the simplicity, the sWeetness and he . modesty of Him who lived the life of a peasant in Jerusalem over [L900 years ago and who gave up his fe an Calvary’s mount ‘for the re- demption of mankind. The pope Wwas Venetian by birth and his biog- aphers tell of his poverty, how he jent\to school barefooted, how studi- bus he was in the class room and How during alll his quiet life, spent among he hills iand the mountalns of theJ peasantry, he was deeply religious and devoted to the Master. When he went to Rome as a_cardinal to join i electing a successor to Pope Leo IXIII\it was with no thought that he vouldtbe chosen; in fact he had pur- hased:a return ticket to his home, o' far hwere his thoughts from the reat honor ‘that was to be conferred pon himself. It wasa good choice, owever,sfor he chose for his motto, “To restore all things in Christ,” and eligiously s adhered to it until the last. Thetwar added to the burden bt his years; he grileved over it, prayed ncessantly "that ity might be averted, nd\even after:theifirst shot had been fired he still hoped for a speedy ermination of‘thejwork of bloodshed. [Those things werednot to be, however, nd while he was passing from life to ing his health by physical exercise, an account of which he has given himselt and he is closing up to 70 years of age. There is something about it all that the average layman does not under- stand, neither can he understand how it is that the human family escapes the diseases which the doctors tell us lurk in the every day walks on the street swarming with microbes, drink- ing water that has not 'been boiled and eating food that has not been properly cooked. The human organisin is a peculiar composition, If given a fair chance it will stand almost any- thing and yet what will kill one man will cure another. REILLY FOR BALD- WIN. Congressman Reilly and Comp- troller Dunn have declared in favor of Governor Baldwin for United States senator; to do other- ‘wise would be to refuse to recognize not only merit but the work of a man who carried the state for the democracy when it seemed that the party would never have a chance to return again to power in Connecticut. He did not seek the nomination for governor but after serving two terms he has expressed a wish for the Uniteq States ~senatorship and it seems as if he might well have his wishes granted. = The progressives may so cut into-the republicans’ vote as to enable the democratic nominee to win but there is some evidence that Senator Brandegee is not going to be an easy man to beat. He |is thought pretty well of in Connecticut and whoever runs against him, whether it be Baldwin or Mahan, will know they have been through a campaign when it is all over. There is nothing to be gained by saying that Congressman Mahan is not of senatorial size. He is a competent man and no one who has had any dealings with him or who observed his public career but will say that he is a wise and sagacious individual with a great capacity for work and the ability to perform it well. Any other line of argument might ‘as well be dismissed. It is apparent that the democratic leaders are endeavoring to smooth out the kinks in the party machinery Heath the. cannons roared in the dis- nt country andi human beings were dropping on thetflelds like leaves in utumn. e The pope'had Hved for eighty years bnd. for eleven,of’that long period he was head of the Catholic church t Rome.

WARNING} TO ATHLETES, Thei Medical Record contains an icle\by Dr. Robert E. Coughlin of [Brooklyn in-which, he speaks of the dangers ©of over-indulgence in athletic [pastimes, He says that athletes die of heartidisease;stuberculosis, typhoid 'ever, pneumonia and Bright's disease. [He does noticlatm that people should ot participateyin athdetics but he does gay that they:meed to/be careful and in lorder to be so they should submit hemselves ' to a thorough physical pxamination. ! It is easy totunderstand how a pug- list, for instance,,should die of con- fumption or heart trouble, but it f& ot so easy toj)determine how he hould contract{typhotd fever as a esult of his physical efforts. Jack [Dempsey, Joe Gans andiGeorge Dixon 11 died of tuberculosis which might ave been caused by the blows they ceived in thé Dreast. They might 1so have died from heart disease be- auge all had beem beaten by blows in he region of the heart, but it is not he contest that kills, although it has ane so in some cases. Tt is the train- ng that does the damage. John L. |Sullivan said on ‘one occasion that he ould rather engage in a half dozen fights than to train for one, "George Dixon cauld reduce his weight several pounds in fifteen yminutes by wearing [feavy clothes and'by constantly mov- his legs @8 {f running, causing him i perspire freely. .

The Courant goes, on to say: “If we had not protected our 'infant indus- tries’ and helped them to grow up into lusty adults, we should have nothing here now except argicultural products. ‘The fallacious free trade doctrine has it that we should make only what we can make cheaper than anybody else. . Buy all the rest. - All right; but where could we go today to buy things?” The author of that saying certainly does not understand the situation. In the first place no one has ever denied the wisdom of protecting the baby industries referred to and no one would deny the wisdom of protecting them today If they needed fit, The Courant should remember, however, that there are a great many articles needed in domestic manu- ‘facture and in other branches of in- dustry which are purchased abroad and because we are unable to pur- chase them in the present crises have been the means of throwing people out of work. That is a matter of common knowledge. As to our for- eign trade, the closing of the foreign markets has injured business in this country. Why? Because we manu- facture many articles at a less cost than is done in Europe and we un- dersell them at home. The Courant this morning had an article in- which it explained that one of the big fac- tories in Harford is about to go on short time and one of the reasons giv- en Is the closing of the foreign mar- ket on account of the war. This is not a question to quarrel over, but one which calls for the exercise of common sense and a desire to be fair and honest with ourselves, 1f people wish to vote the republican ticket let them do so but it isn't square to be,making statements Which are not 80.

It is a matter of some alarm today in Britain that the average height of the indoor workers from whom the army and navy are recruited in the event of war is only five feet, five inches. ‘“The strength of a nation,” is the cry of the London press, ‘“‘can- 10t be measured by the strength of its ships; it has always been and always must be measured by the sirength of its average man. When we licked the French we collared their ships, mounted the British flag and sent their choicest men-of-war to Davy Jones. ‘They may my lads,’ runs the brave song, ‘but they can’t build the boys of the bull- dog breed’ And we are building boys of the.bulldog breed five feet, five inches high!"” E But, after all, the question of the mere height of men, considered in connection ‘with the means and methods of modern»warfare, will have little to do with the case. This was cxemplified in the Russo-Japanese war, when the little brown men were of the ‘“bulldog breed.” And we are building armies of the big .fellows of Russia, . And now, with all the great nations of Europe in arms, little Holland is 1mobilizing her troops. This recalls a story of some vears ago. The prince consort of Holland, a guest of the kaiser, was attending a review of the Cerman troops.. A regiment of six- footers passed by. “Not tall enough,” said the visitor to the kaiser. A second regiment , passed in review, in which every man was six feet ,fiye inches high. “Not¥all enough,” said from Holland. “Not tall enough!” exclaimed kaiser. *“What do you mean?” “I mean; your majesty,” said the visitor, “when we open the dikes the water averages eight feet deep.” the man the The End of a Nation. (Cleveland-Plain Dealer.) Last week the Cherokee nation ceased to exist. The Indians, as citi- zens of thestate of Oklahoma and possessing the full rights of American citizenship, Had no longer any need of their tribal government. The tribal funds will be divided among the mem- bers of the tribe. Among other dis- tinguished mer United States Senator Owen will receive a share, Which will amount to about $15. The Cherokees, under largely unre- stricted self-government, made re- markable strides. They, alone of the civilized Indians, possessed an alpha- bet and a written language. The al- phabet was the invention of a full blooded Cherokee, and is still used for the printing of newspapers and for official documents. The progress of the Cherokees has been a convincing proof of the excel- lence of the American Indian when he is uncorrupted by the white man’'s evils. The Cherokees conducted their own affairs, and rigorously excluded the Indian exploiter. They are the best of the five clvilized tribes, but the advance of the other four is only less remarkable. TInstead of being a van- ishing race the Indians of Oklahoma are multiplying in numbers. The other four nations have also signed treaties with the United States by which they undertake to abolish their tribal governments, They have progressed more slowly than the Che- rokees. however, and are not vet | ready to give up their individuality. Our Bumsrin London. (Brockton Times.) Wherever calamity strikes and charity comes to the rescue, there will be found the meanest of all thieves. No aid of any kind, on any scale or on any occasion, can be offered with- out encouraging fraud on the part of the thief who preys on the afflicted. This was seen in the Ohio flcod dis- aster and more recently at Salem, and now, if reports are true, London is the great field for the operations of the “wolves of disaster,” as somebody has- called them. American “pan- handlers” in droves are said to be re- ceiving svmpathy and money in Lon- don upon representing themselves to be stranded tourists. Five hundred of these prowlers were rounded up by a citizens' relief committee and offered free passage home, but they preferred to stay—and steal. This form of graft, to use a mild term, probably will be used in foreign cities as leng as the war lasts, for it cannot be easily sup- pressed where there is confusion.

In the War Zone. (Contributed.) An important phase of the present European war is its effect upon Christian missions. Questions .are coming every day to the officers of the American board as to how much that society’s work is involved and what action will be taken as to the out- going of new missionaries and the returning to their fields of those now on furlough. At present only one mission of the board is engulfed in the war, that is the one centering in Prague, Austria. Here Dr. and Mrs. A. W. Clark and Rev. and Mrs. John S. Porter - with six children live. They direct an- ex- tensive work in Russia, Bohemia and Moravia. Ninety congregations, two of them in Vienna, are in their field. Most of these have native pastors and many have good houses of worship. The Americans are probably quite safe, but the native pastors, col- porters and church members will have to go into the army. All communi- cation between the mission and the home office is cut off. In Servia the one station now in operation is Monastir, far away from the present fighting. Letters from one of the board’s staff, who has been at Belgrade, speak of hardships brought upon the Christian churches by the new alignments of territory between Servia and Bulgaria since churches made up of' former Bulgar- jans must now conduct their services in the Servian tongue. If there should be a successful attempt to create a new Slavic state, probably the board’s entire Balkan mission would be in- volved and the workers in Albania, Bulgaria and Servia would have to go through another period of war. No new missionaries or returning missiénaries can now be sent to - the Balkans or any of the three Turkish missions in Asia, neither can they se- cure transportation through the Mediterranean on their way to India and Ceylon. Passage to China and Japan can only be secured with safety in American steamers across the Pa- cific. There was for a time no secure way qf sending money to the mis- slonaries in the near east. Supplies, of course, are likely to be laid hold of anywhere they may be found and, indeed, cannot be routed to most of the stations. W In the meantime missionaries and native Christians are always in de- mand to organize relief work, to care for the sick and wounded. to turn missionaries’ homes and churches and chapels into hospitals and dfspen- sarfes and to give comfort and a ray of hope to the sick and heart- broken. Count Okuma of Japan says that the end of European civilization has came. The missionary can only say that in these days of . horror the Christian religion gives the only help there is’ given at all. War's Costs and Consequences, (Detroit Free Press.) Now that the first stunning shocks of the great outbursts of maniacal war in Europe are. over it is becoming pessible to gather data to indicate the tremendous import to the world of every day of this most momentous of conflicts. For instance, the populations directly involved in the clash exceed 575,576,265 persons. timated that about been called to arms. The combined armies will eat 25,000 tons of food daily, One round of ammunition for this host of men would cost $600,000. In the battles of a day these men could pile up an expense bill ot $40,000,000 or more, The nations involved. with the ex- ception of Russia, are large importers of wheat and other food products, ‘With the shackling of shipping and the withdrawal from the fields of hundreds of thousands of products, imports are made impossible at a time when pro- duction is reduced to its lowest notch and expenses of all kinds raised to the | highest point. This not only means the prompt pinch of hunger and pov- erty to the countries in combat but clts off the product markets of India, Australia and in large degree of Amer- ica. But while America may seek markets elsewhere, India, Australia and China may not do so. India's wheat and Australia’s meat and Chjna’s rice may not be shipped to Europe. India must suffer even with full granaries. Australia and China must stagnate, e nations involved in the fighting owe fully $19,000,000,000 in the form of national debts. This sum by a war may easily be increased to $25,000,- 600,000 and by a war of a year be swollen to more than $31,000,000,000. Indemnities, re- newals of armaments on land and sea after the war may double this vast sum. On debts aggregating $60,- 000,000,000 these 375,000,000 people, with industries prostrated and povet- ty everywhere, will be called on to pay interest. Taxes, already heavy, must double, ‘Were these the only expenses to meet after the blood-letting, rallying from the staggering blows of the war might not be so diffcult. But the prophets are declaring that this will be the bloodiest war in history; that a million wen may be killed and as many more incapacitated while the earning pow- crs of 2,000,000 will be lessened from twenty-five to fifty per cent. This state of affairs will add billions to the loss account. To make up any part of these bewilderingly large sums will re- quire the grinding efforts of vears in which progress in science, the arts, literature and philosophy must be sac- rificed in the struggle for sheer ex- istence. It is possible to speculate from these premises on just how long the Lurdened peoples will stagger forward under their loads without outbreaks of fury which may topple crowns and thrones in the dust, bringing about the autonomy of races advocated by H. G. Wells as the possible means to indefi- nite world-peace. But statistics and spcculations are of equal worth. Time may develop altogether different con- ditlons than these statistical prognos- tications indieate. It is better to prophecy after than before the event in this instance. Of these it is es- 20,000,000 have Progressives raised beétween $4,500 and $5,000 as sinews of war at the rieeting held in Hartford Saturday. Though the fact seems to have been overlooked at the time, it may help to rut the progress in progressives in Connecticut this fall.—New Haven spent by REILLY AND DUNN ENDORSE BALDWIN Congressmag and Compiroler Boost Governor for U §. Senator. New Haven, Aug 20.—The demo- crats of trict held a dinner and an outing at wift's hotel at Momauguin last night and they heard Governor Simeon E. Baldwin declare that it was his belief that the War of the Nations would be raging two years from now, and they heard Congressman Thomas L. Reilly and Comptroller Daniel P. Dunn range themselves solidly and squarely behind Governor Baldwin in the fight for the democratic nomina- tion for United States senator. They did not qualify this support in any way and it was taken as notice to Congressman Mahan that he need look for no support from either of them. Sheriff Philip Hugo also made a short address and J Frederick Jackson was the toastmaster. In his opening remarks the toast- master referred to the fact that the republicans were using every trick they knew to induce the voters to take them back again but he felt cer- tain that the country and state were satisfied with®a democratic adminis- tration of affairs. Complete Democratic Victories. Gov. Baldwin said he wished the state would go back to the old plan of having complete democratic vie- tories, that the victory of 1912 in this state was only a half and half victory. Then he reviewed the elec- tions of 1910 and 1912 and said in spite of the fact that the democrats were only entrusted with half power they had accomplished much. He then went into a history of legislation at the last session and got in a sly dig at Prof. W. C. Kisher when he said that the workmen’'s compensation act was drawn by a very able man but one who was not conversant with statute making and that there were dark spots in it which, however, had not injured the bill or the principle of the bill. He also spoke of the corrupt practices act which had been passed in his first administration and called attention to the fact that although the governorship had cost one candi- date $100,000 and another $70,000 it was now illegal to give any sum over a certain percentage of the salary. In speaking of the war he said that no one could tell what the ef- fect of.the war would be on the pub- lic mind and, the public welfare but he felt certain that President Wil- son was stronger today in Connecti- cut than he was two months ago, He sald the war would last probably two years more and that he believed con- ditions will be such that the country will not want to swap horses crossing a stream. ‘What Democrats Have Done. Summarizing what the democratic party has done in the state he said: “What have we accomplished now in these four years, when we have been partly in and partly out? “First—We have passed a good, strong corrupt practices act. No long- er is Connecticut disgraced by money candidates for office. 1 be- lieve a candiflate for governor once spent over $100,000—some say 200,000—and another nearly $70,- 000. The man of moderate means has no chance. All that is changed. In- stead of spending $100,000 a candi- date for the highest office cannot, if he should wish to, put in over per- haps $4,000, at the outside, and that is too much—but the world grows better by degrees—not at a jump. Civic Service Law. “Second—We have a state civic ser- vice law, and a good commission un- der it, doing good work, to put good men in our minor positions and clerk- ships, and keep them there. ‘Three—We have passed a work- men's compensation act which treats the chances of accident to employes in large concerns as part of the cost of the business. That is working well, too, and saving money that used to be wasted in litigation. “Fourth—We have ratified an amendment to the constitution of the United States to elect United States senators by popular vote. This, we be- lieve, is a fairer and straighter way than the old plan of letting things go by the decision of the legislative caucus. No more will our general assemblies be elected of men, selected not for their ability, and integrity, and knowledge of affairs, and good judgment and good sense, but be- cause they have promised to vote for A and B for senator of the United States. Under this new system there is less chance for bargaining and log rolling. There is a better chanee to have our states representad in the senate at Washington by their best men rather than their most skilful politicians, as has too often been the case. “Fifth—We have asked congress to propose another amendment to the United States constitution for aboi- ishing the outworn, useless device of presidential electors, and so letting each state cast the number of votes it is entitled to by direct popular ballot for the man it wants. Banished Legislative Divorces. “Sixth—We have put an end to legislative divorces. Only courts can properly grant divorces, not the gen- eral assembly. Seven—We have put an issuing stock incorporations thing less than par, in cash ey's worth.” Congressman Reilly was the next speaker and he went into a defense of the present national administration. He praised very highly President Wil- son, to whom he referred us the great, wise wonderfully far-sighted end to for any- or mon- the twelfth senatorial dis- !

Baldwin Endorsed. He spoke of the possibility of dis- sension in the party and said there was absolutely no need of there be- ing any such dissension, and pro- phesied that the country had entéred upon an era of unexampled prosper- ity. That era, he said, would be due to legislation suggested by the presi® dent. In reference to the senatorial fight he said there seemed to be some question as to whom the demo- crats of the state ought to elect to the senate, but he couldn’t see why there should be any question, There was only one man for the place, a man, who, he said, would be worthy of the state and who would be able to hold up the hands of the president. ¥ He said to turn him down would bs to turn down efficiency and capabil- ity and that the democratic party un- der such circumstances would be un- worthy of victory.

Comptrojler Dunn cchoed the sen- timent in favor of Governor Baldwin for senator and said that in the com- ing campaign the democrats would have plenty of figures to show that thousands of @ollars had been saved to the state.. He referred to the fact that some of the state commissions had been in the habit of riding in hired automobiles instead of riding on trains and that they thus deprived the people in the institution of some of the things which were coming to them.
