The republicans or to be more par- ticular, some of them have begun :o [prepare for the fall campaign, are pre- paring slates to be voted for at the local primaries for the election of delegates to the various conventions [and it looks as if there may be some rivalry for these places. It is also stated that an effort is.being made to run Judge Meskill for judge of probate, Emil Danberg fo be the clerk and thus depart from the cus- tom of the past eight years of dorsing Judge Gaffney. This move is only in its incipiency ard it may be [abandoned, but it nevertheless re- veals a desire on the part qf some to linject politics into everything that [pertains to public service this year. [There is no disposition to - criticise udge Meskill who is making a satis- factory presiding magistrate in the [police court and who is well thought of in the city, but there is a disposi- tion to criticise any effort to make a political office out of a court that has bsolutely nothing to do with politics nd which is more and more being regarded all over the state as a place 0 be kept free from all taint. The Berlin district placed the local obate court above politics eight years g0, it has been kept there ever since d it ought to be kept there as long s the present incumbent continues to give the satisfaction that has charac- erized his work ever since he entered pon it a dozen years ago. This senti- ent prevails all over the state, repub- icans endorsing democrats and vice versa and it will only be-a few years hen 4ll the districts will choose their fudges in the same manner. New Britain ought not to go backward in a movement in which it was a leader. port was started some time ago to en- he effect that Judge Klett was desir- | ous of being a candidate for this of- fice, but there was apparently never ! any sound foundation for it. It is said jnow, however, that he is likely to be the republican nominee for senator, nd that E. C. Goodwin, who has peen poken of for the place will be one of he nominees for representatives. It is understood that Mayor Quigley has assumed full charge of the repup- | in Néw Britain, that he is | lican party 0 be the personal representative of P. [Davis Oakey, jto be the man with ‘whom all outsiders Impst deal if they wish to do political business with New Britain. It is ne who ‘is parceling out all the offices at present and it may be noticed that he § not consulting many of the old tim- prs as to what they think about it. His plans however, may not all meet with popular approval. But that will be de- ided later. ROOSEVELT FOR STRAIGHT TICKET NOW. Colonel Roosevelt has withdrawn is" endorsement of Mr, Hinman for e nomination for governor of New Work, has now declared for a straight progressive party ticket and says that e will make a campaign for it in Every section of the state from one end 0 the other. Mr. Roosevelt is very buch displeased at the action of tne epublican convention which has just osed at Saratoga and is' particularly nnoyed over the cold shoulder given he progressives, Senator Root saying hat they had disappeared. A strong movement has evidently Lot in Against Mr. Hinman, first be- ause of the way that he was pushed ‘'orth by the colonel and again because bir. Hinman did not measure up to lvhat the colonel expected. Mr. Roose- [eit has announced that he will not run ‘or governor himself although he has been requested to do so.

COURANT F “We continue our surprise that tae ‘New Britain . Herald'" should be preaching free trade in these strenu- ous days, which demonstrate so clear- if we had not had protection, We should today be helpless instead of being better off than any other peo- ple in this world disturbance, It is surprising to find free traders talking out loud anywhere, but to tind one in New Britain is going some. Why, if we had not had the protec- tive policy in this country, New Brit- ain, one of the most successful and progressive communities in the state, would be today, as it was years ago, a cow pasture. Just two things have turned those fields into a : bustling town known all over the civilized world. One is the protective policy, and the other is able, honest. and forceful citizens, who knew how to make use of their opportunity. “The best of men could not have built up the city of New Britain with- out the tariff to protect the develop- ment of their business. But, given that tariff, the right sort of men sprang up there, and what they have accomplished is all the more remark- velopment of other Connecticut cen- ters. where natural facilities' were so much greater. 2 “As we said before, New Britain is no place in which to preach free trade.”—Hartford Courant. There is no one preaching trade in New Britain, no one wants it so far as we know, no one has said it was wanted, there is no one talking about it except the Courant and that has been done evidently for the pur- pose of trying to distract the atten- tion of the people from the main is- sue. The Herald is.a believer in pro- tection when it is needed, it has al- ways held this view, but what it ob- jects to is the effort made to make people believe that the new tariff is an injury to the prosperity of this country; and were it not for the wax in Europe a great many people would have believed it; but notwithstanding that, the Courant wants the public to swallow it even now. The policy of protection is that European countries /@nanufacture goods chedper than we do in America and in order that we our own market for ourselves and employ our own people the government enacts a tariff law, placing a certain duty upon goods made abroad so that the low cost shall not place the American manufacturer at a disadvantage. That is a sensible way to look at the propo- sition and the application of that idea has undoubtedly been the means of building up New England and particu- larly New Britain, though it - would not have had such a satisfactory re- sult here were it not for the energy, the persistence and fnrsightedness of the men who were ' in immediate charge of the business in this city. The late Philip Corbin, who, in his early days was. his own salesman, did free did on his own ability to make better goods than any one else, so that when he sought an order he told the. prospective purchaser that he would make him a ‘superior article, he did so and got the order. But for the sake of argument we will admit that if the tariff did not protect him he could not have undersold his foreign competitor. That, however, was many years ago and the ambition to make better goods than anyone else, which has been going on ever since; this country is manufacturing better arti- tles now than any other country and with our improved machinery and skilled labor we make them for less money. There were a number of people who did not know this until the Eu- ropean war broke out and the Courant does mnot seem to know it yet, but when shipping ceased because of a fear of unfriendly interference on the ocean we found that business had been injured here because of the loss of the foreign trade and that it was being further injured by the inability of the American manufacturer to ob- tain from abroad the materials he needs in the making of his own goods, This is the condition today and it must be apparent to every one willing to see that there is not as much need of protection now as there was when our industries were being built up. This does not mean that shall be free trade, because we there couldn’t have that if we wanted it. | The new tariff act has reduced the duties on many articles but' we have a large foreign trade which is posi- tive proof that the American manu- facturer has not been injured but that he is underselling his foreign competitor. There does not seem to be any dispute about it and we do not see any reason for one either. The Courant knows the condition as well as any one, but is sacrificing facts for politics. A political campaign is on and as a more or less noteqd states- man said after the war had been over for a quarter of a century that there may be one more victory in the bloody shirt, the Courant thinks ' that there may also be one more victory in the | tariff of a long timie ago, which dia its work and made room for the new conditions which greedy politicians do not want to recognize at present. QUALIFICATIONS TO BE POPE. The Herald’s ediorial yesterday- on the election of a Pope was read with’ | areat inerest; it naturally some comment because it not generally known that a pope could be chosen except from the college of car- dinals. caused was As a matter of fact any male Christian who has reached the age of | reason whq is not a schismatic, heretic or a simonist is eligible to be elected but before he can be fully declared to be bishop of Rome he must first be ordained a subdeacon, deacon and a { priest, have those holy orders at least six months when he could be ordained a bishop which would make him strictly eligible to be pope. It has always been a cardinal who has been chosen pope since 1378, but previous to that there were men elect- ed who were not cardinals. FACTS AND FANCIES, The war is said to have hit King orge in the stomach and that plain living is now in order at the royal ta- ble. 'Tis a hard place to be hit, but it is where it is hitting most of us now; even in peaceful America.—Ansonia sentinel. An average of $25,000 a day in the first few days of the Panama canal's operation isn’t so bad—considering that all the ships passing through were coasters which would have paid no tolls at all under the original plan.— Brockton Times, The order of the mayor of New York that the flags of no foreign na- tions be displayed in connection with street parades and demonstrations is a wise one. The American people look at the war in Europe from different viewpoints and while they will discuss it calmly and dispassionately in vari- ous places it will be unwise to permit any public demonstration that will lead to exciting the populace and to dividing it into rival factions.—Nor- wich Record. We met a man the other day who is one after our own heart. He said: “If there is one thing which I can’t stand, it's fishing.” We looked at him twice to see if he were joking. He was not. Then we grasped him firmly by the hand and murmured our thanks, for we had met a brother. We know it is flying in the face of Prov- idence and the ghost of Ike Walton to say it, but the terrible truth must be told. We do not care for fishin’, nuther. There, the secret's out.— New Haven Register. The police-have done an excellent thing for the city in. scattering the gang of young boys who persisted in giving -wrong directions to automobil- ists coming -to New Haven fram the westward. It does not seem at first sight as if the matter were one of sumclent importance to justify the action of the authorities, but the ebolition of this gang will help the reputation of the city with our sum- mer visitors to an extent which can never be deflnitely learned, but which will be great.—New Haven Register. 0 Candidate Fisher is very lively and stirring, but we .think he is out of date. . For the present the people are tired of his kind of talk. They have too much of it. Prescriptions for the evil condition in politics and busi- ness have made the patient so much worse that the man with a new remedy, which involves his being put into office to administer treatment, is viewed with suspicion. What we want for a while is a government which will keep its hands off long enough to let things get normal again. The bad old times look rather good to us. —Waterbury American. Farmington is in the most unusal position of having a high school or- ganization, principal, teachers, etc., and no building. The school visitors of Farmington, acting under statute, appointed a high school committee, and the committee went ahead and hired a principal and teachers for the high school and they tried to hire from the district committee of the Union school district the use of the high school building which belengs to that digtrict. Up to the present no lease hall been secured of the high schosl building and the town of Farmington seems to be in the condition of hav- ing a high school without a building in which to hold it.—Rockville Jour- nal. Now that the small boys have got the war fever and are playing soldier it behooves parents to caution themI against discharging their air rifles at each other. The youngsters are likely to forget in their excitement that the rifles are loaded and injury to their companions are liable to be the result, In Bridgeport the other day a small boy who had no funds to purchase shot, loaded his air rifle with gravel and tiny pebbles and then, ignorant of the harm he was going to do, aimed it at a companion and pulled the trigger. - The boy at whom the rifle was aimed reecived the gravel in the face and some of the particles en- tered his eve with the result that he may lose the sight of it.—Naugatuck News. Casual Sympathy. (Washington Star.) “Your daughter told me to come and ask your consent to our mar- riage,” said the nervous young man. “She did!” responded Mr. Cumrox. “And you came hustling right along, although you knew you'd probably find me in a bad humor. And you knew also that so long as Gladys and her ma had made up their minds my consent” or refusal wouldn't make a particle of difference. Young man, you're being put through your family discipline too ecarly.” ZGWN 14LK, common council hds placed the new north end park in the hands of the park commissioner and the move is believed to have been a good one, There was a time when all the parks were in the hands of this department, but some- how the arrangement did not work out right and afterwards all the parks, except Walnut Hill, which is governed ! communicated ! how by a special act, were placed in the | hands of the board of public works. The latter department has now grown to such proportions and has so much to do that the members, presumably are not at all displeased at the north end park being placed in the hands of the park commissioners, and it seems as if it would be a wise move to have all the parks placed under the man- agement of the same department. The fact that a similar arrangement did not work out well before is no reason why it would not operate to good advantage now. In the first place it was only recently that any serious attention was given the de- velopment of the park system. This ! was no fault of the park commission- ers, because the city did not make suf- ficient appropriations to permit of any park work being done. It was only a few years ago that the city began to appropriate money for Wal- nut Hill park and the only money ex- pended there up to that time was the revenue which came from the Erwin fund. It is pretty generally admitted that New Britain ought to develop its park system, and if it is going to be done properly it will have to be done in accordance with some specific plan and this can be done best by a de- partment which has no other work to do than by a department that has | so much work as to keep it busy with- out anything else to take its time. The smaller parks about the city are not in as good condition as they might be, except Central and the south end parks, which are kept in nice shape. The park ‘which was fixed up a few vears ago at the junction of Burritt and Broad streets has apparently never been touched since and now looks like a place devoid of friends, where vagrant cattle are wont (o graze and boys to play ball. It would seem as if such spots might be kept in good condition, a tree or two plant- ed there and a flower bed would tend to set off its beauty. Nowadays when the city is expending so much on the outskirts for better roads, the sur- roundings may also be given atten- tion, so that the prospective ~home seeker may be favorably and the man already upon the ground induced to bestow as much care on his own place as possible. The ques- tion is not one to occasion any dis- pute, but one on which the council may well unite and give its thought. work can be done without friction by the park commissioners and the city will look the better for it. Has the council acted wisely in re- moving from its jurisdiction the mat- ter of saying what streets shall be re- paired or improved and the order within which the work shall be done? It voted Wednesday evening to leave the matter to the discretion of the board of public works. The argument which carried the day was that made by Chairman Humphrey, who said that the board was prevented from giving attention to an adjoining street, for instance, when one nearby was be- ing repaired, because the council had ordered another street to be given precedence. The argument is not without some elements of strength, but the main point and the one which occasioned the most disputes in the past was not touched upon, It used to be said that politics governed the repairing or improving of a streer. The old street committee was often accused of favoritism and certain parts of the city were said to have the most of the work. Whether there was any grounds for this accusation is not the question now, but the same old complaint is apt to come up again. To do the work as the council orders it seemed to be most fair, because the latter body could not very well find fault when it had laid out the work -itself. ~Mr. Humphrey said that a large portion of the money this year has been expended in tne fifth ward, and the statement, though made off- hand, is evidently correct. A re- markable change has been made in the appearance and condition of Bur- ritt street and as a result a sidewalk is being laid there and the trustees of the Horace Booth estate have begun to extend Smith street northerly a dis- tance of several hundred feet. This will open up building lots, houses will be erected, the grand list will be in- creased and the city will receive an added revenue because of money ex- pended in street repairing and caus- ing people to be attracted to the country, This work was ordered by the council a long time ago, but it was impossible to reach it until this season. Some of the sharpest de- bates that ever took place in the com- mon council were over street favor- itism in macadamizing or in other forms of improvement. It used to be said that the third ward could have anything it wanted, while the other wards had to wait the pleasure of the street committee and its supporters in the council. There is no reason to believe that those conditions are to be revived, but it is evidently a mistake to return to the conditions which will make such accusations possible. The council has always reserved the right to do the ordering in accordance witn the charter, but it has now given the board of public works the power to select the order in which the streets are to be improved. The charter says that the board shall carry into effect all orders of the common coun- cil and this provision might conflict with the resolution passed Wednesday evening in the event of another de- bate in the council on the same ques- tion, Alderman Lawyer has succeeded in having the council agree to the ap- pointment of a committee to inquire impressed’ | den produce are sold about the sireets | by a number of individuals and there best| Under a proper system this | | committee can ascertain the facts in | storekeeper. | the fire department has | ferred Mr. {at a fire, has control of the apparatus of prices of upon which Paonessa had already with Congressman Lonergan.

Mayor Cray of Bristol appointed a committee for a similar purpose but with no valuable results. The whole- le business is not carried on very largely in this city and with one or two exceptions it does not do so at all. Vegetables and all kinds of g into the sudden foodstuffs, a Councilman rise matter no evidence that there is a com- bination between them to raise the prices. Many of those peddlers raise. the goods they sell on their own farms, whilé others buy them at wholesale here and other adjoining cities. The committee might learn something of interest by quizzing these peddlers. It would be interest- ing to know whether the farmer sells his product from the wagon any cheaper than does the peddler who makes his purchases from the whole- saler. Such information would be valuable as tending to determine the value of the public market id There is no family in New Britain who can truthfully say nowadays that fresh vegetables cannot be pur- chased on the streets of this city at| what is considered reasonable prices, | all things considered. The council the case by making inquiries. There has never been a time when there were as many vegetable and fruit peddlers on the streets as there are now and their wares look satisfac- tory. There has always been objec- tion to this kind of peddling because the man who keeps a store must pay rent while the peddler has no such expense and can naturally afford to sell his goods for less than can the It has never been pos- sible to reach the farmer who ralses his own produce and sells it in the city but the peddler who buys from the wholesaler has to pay a license fee of $2 a month. These number from forty-five to fifty at this time of the year and it can be seen that the city acquires a fairly good sum from them, especially when the same men used to enjoy the same privilege some time ago for nothing. It can be seen has it in its power to obtain some in- has in_its power to obtain some in- teresting information for instance as to whether the license fee causes some to charge more for their goods than the farmer who raises his own -and sells them on the same street. This may not throw any light on the .cost of other classes of foods but the information = would nevertheless have. some value. The committee should. get busy while the question is hot. George B. Carter . has decided nut to .be.a candidate for the nomination of first selectman of the town of Ber- lin against Willlam H. . Gibney this vear. He has endeavored in the past to ~wrest the..nomination .from him but has never succeeded. Mr. Gib- ney has, the reputation of being one of the most competent selectmen there is.in this state. Berlin people [ have ! merely | unworthy understand it and appreciate ‘it, and while it has been . impossible for rival candidates to defeat him in the caucus it -has also been impossible for his opponents to defeat him at the polls. Mr. Carter, who is one of Ber- lin's best - citizens and who is -also an-assessor, has not-given any reason for -refusing to be a candidate this vear and it looks as if Selectman Gibney -will have an easy campaign this-fall. He is almost as well known in New Britain as he is in Berlin. The “about town man” has received a query as to whether the chief of the power to transfer a fireman from one company to another. The inquirer evidently had in mind the recent transfer of Fireman Smith which was author- ized by the board of public safety. The chief has no power to make any such transfer, but before he trans- Smith, about- which there has been some comment, he obtained the consent of the board. The chief engineer has charge of the firemen and is the one to give orders during a fire even to the extent of demolish- ing a building if he thinks such a course is necessary, but his authority over the men ends there. Plenty of American Officers. (Baltimore News.) Albert C. Kirwan, United States shipping commissioner, said today that so many misleading ideas have been expressed by persons advocating or opposing an American merchant marine that he thought it would be worth while for ali wno enter the discussion to study the exact situa- tion as shown by the reports in his office. “In the first place,” he saiqa, “those who have studied the question are not urging that crews of ships be American born. In twenty-five years* experience I do not know a single big ship that ever sailed out of this port with a crew all of the same national- ity. . There should be no restriction as to nationality of crews, “But officers of American ships should be sAmericans. Some persons have said that to establish an Ameri- can merchant marine we would have to take from our coastwise trade all the efficient officers, leaving the ships in that trade unofficered. Such would not be the result. This country can furnish men to officer its ships, no matter how many we may have. No ships will have to lay up for lack of officers. “If the American merchant marine dominates the trade of the world, the best seafaring men of the world will seek to be Americans. Many of the most efficient officers of foreign ships would at once apply for American citizenship. This country would profit by adding to its population such men. These officers are men of the very best type. They are substantial citi- WHAT OTHERS SAY Views on all gjdes of timely questions as discussed in ex- changes that come to Herald office.

I The City and the Dog. (Brockton Times.) Through an amendment to the sani- tary code of New York city, the muzzling of all dogs. whether or not in leash and regardless of season, is now required by law. The dog, as a privileged creature, has had his day as far as New York is concerned. He may not run at play in the streets, nor even at his master’s heels, and he will take his exercise as a dangerous prisoner: bound and gagged; from a mere domestic animal, he has pro- gressed to the status of a domestic menace. Most dog owners protest and argue, quite truthfully, that free- dom for the dog is more dangerous for the dog than to the humans., But there are other questions. The dog really is more of a nuisance than a danger. Dogs at large in a city are as untidy as rubbish blowing about the streets, and much more trouble- some. Any city large ehough to have street cars and any considerable auto- moblle traflic is large enough to make the dog a pest. All this; however, without any disparagement of doggish virtues. No normal human denies that man is a counterfeit of nature when compared with the dog; or that men and dogs and city traffic cannot live together in peace and harmony. New York's example will be followed widely; in time. The dog will become a luxury of suburban and country life, the guardian or guest-of quiet homes, away from the filth and the turmoil which have been unkind to him. estment for the City. (New Haven Union.) No one who watched the dances on the green for the past week by the children who have been putting in their vacation at the various play- grounds could fail to appreciate that the city was getting a big return for the money expended. There were a good many taxpayers who at first questioned the advisability of supply- ing these public playgrounds for children during the summer time. The hue and cry was raised that if the city supplied good up-to-date public schools for the use of the children for ten months in the year, it was an extravagance to contemplate putting more money into playgrounds to be maintained at public expense. But time has demonstrated that the chil- dren of the crowded sections of the city have some rights which include a proper place to play instead of in the crowded streets. The .attendance at the various playgrounds of the city this summer is certainly a guarantee, if any were needed, that the children welcome a suitable place in which to play. To many who watched the little people in their various dances and competing afterwards in the athletic events, the work being accomplished by those in charge of playgrounds in and about the city, was a bIg sur- prise. And no one in the crowd o sightseers who saw the committee, consisting of Superintendent of Schools Beede, Superintendent of Parks Gustav X. Amrhyn and Sec- retary Hewlett of the board of edu- cation award the prizes but took pleasure in the affair and sympa- thized with the children in their joy over accomplishment. The children of Zunder school who planned the float representing an au- tomobile baby carriage carrying .six doll passengers and received the first prize, certainly deserved congratula- tions. Although they were the hap- piest youngsters in ¢he bunch, the children from Jocelyn square play- ground and from Waterside were scarcely less pleased when the second and third awards were made to them Good respectively.
