At the time of the last earthquake Southern Italy it was necessary to burn the dead as the bodies were found in or- der to })revent a plague, and this always attended by difficulty because of the fear among the people and the scarcity of men ‘,"hu care to en- any oce in is gage in this kind of ‘work, many of the inhabitants of the afflicted area fleeing to places of safety as far away as they can get. 1t will take a day or two to obtain the details of the shock of yesterday but when they do come in it will he that they do not differ greatly those which accompanied the news reports of the earthquake in the same country almost nine years found from ago. BOARD OF RELIEF, It looks now as if the committee on charter revision will in the end de- cide to retain the board of relief. The matter is in the hands of the corporation counsel for drafting but as he has been quoted as saying that he believes that the board should be retained and being the adviser of the city, his advice in this case is apt to be accepted. This is another- instance of natural hesitation against changing a law which has stood for so long, which many appear to regard as something almost sacred and should not be dis- turbed no matter what advantages may be in sight as a result of a re- peal of the act. The legislature it- self came near destroylng what pow- er the board had when it clipped off a month of the time within which it must do its work. It used to .have January and February but the gen- | eral assembly a few vears ago stricted it to the latter month and it must be apparent to everyone that it is impossible for any board to review the work of the assessors, hold hear- re- ings and inspect property. upon which reductions are asked, in such a short space of time and yet that is what it must do. The action of the .legislature in retaining the board un- der such conditions was simply a con- cession to an old time custom, - the 'department being left with one of its wings taken off. Under the law it serves certain purposes, but when g‘v- en a thorough examination it has no power to accomplish much within the for official action. The of or time allowed charter revision committee can, course, recommend its leave it alone thereby retaining it, but it has long since ceased to be of any particular value and the city would lose nothing by abolishing it. elimination CONTRIBUTION TO CHARITY. The contribution of a dollars to the New Britain Charity organization which is referred to in another column of the Herald today is of more than passing interest for the reason that presents of such large | sums for charitable purposes have not thousand been very numerous in this city. There | ought to be more of such gifts and | there are a number of people whui i could well afford them. It is true that there are not many real wealthy peo- ple in New Britain but there are a FACTS AND FANCIES, | Somehow or other the old Nauga- trick gets a good flushing once a yeai special water supply or even an ap- propriation. Waterbury Republican. They must have accommodating trains on that branch of the Central Vermont that runs through Stafford Springs. One of them, in crossing a bridge, caught up with a young lady who are walking the tracl Instead | of rudely jostling her and perhaps breaking her bones, it picked her up and carried her off the bridge so gently that when, under a misappre- hension, they took her to the hospital, not the slightest injury could be found on her. That's the advantage of rail~ rcading in the land of steady habits.— New Haven Register. Thinking in the plural produces much muddy logic, and a great deal of mis- understanding. “The theaters are full, times cannot be very hard,” says one man., A very usual speech, by the way. Full theaters do not prove good times. That is, there is no neces- sary relation between one part of the speech and ‘the other. Tt is individ- uals who go to the theater. Tt is in- dividuals who are employed, or are not employed. Those who are em- ployed can go to the theater as they alw; did. The fact about hard times is that in the hardest of times there is only a certain per cent. of unemployment. Some people keep right on working, and maintain their usual scale of expenditure.—Bridge- port Farmer. ‘Washington to Be ‘“Put” Dry. (Springfield Republican.) There is apparently a strong prob- ability that the city of Washington, which ig to say the District of Colum- by, will not “go” into the dry column, but that it will be “put” the That distinction gives the essence of the case and perhaps indicates the only likelihood that the resolution offered by Senator Sheppard of Texas, will fail of the necessary votes in the two d houses because of the recognized violation of the principle of home rule. The chance seems, however, a slight one, for those who are’pressing the issue maintain it to be a against evid into which no question of practical expediency or right of ballot can enter. The question of home rule has never troubled those prohibitionist members of congress, and others notably less so, who have joined in the past in ruling the canteen out of the army and of the old soldiers’ homes. In this case, to be sure, those who are not teetotalers themselves and who have been re-elected to the or less with regard to their own con- venience. But a majority, though not two-thirds, having recently been given in the house in favor of the Hobson resolution for a prohibition amend- tion from Washington that the Shep- pard resolution will pass, seems not unwarranted. Aside from the question of home rule, which could not be met without changing the form of government in the district or specially providing for a referendum, the experience of Wash- ington as a dry city will clearly be of profound interest to all who are will- ing to study anew the whole question of prohibition in the light of present performance. If prohibition works even measurably well at Washington, it will unquestionably, through the example set at the national capital, lend new strength to* the movement throughout the countr On the other hand, if it does not wWork' 'wéll unpleasant chapter: i§~ini sté#e which will tend to emphasize American dis- regard for law at the same time that imposing in such matters a legislative restraint that is out of harmony with the community standards. Washington, thanks to the Kenyon law, has banished district, and now if prohibition is to ke added in the effort to make it truly the model city of the country, | there can at least be no difference of hecpe, even among those who oppose prohibition through the belief that it is impractical, as to the outcome. The Case of a Woman, (New York World.) Without presuming to interfere with the prosecution,of crime or the enforcement of law, many pcople in large number of well to do residents and yet the contributions for philan- thropic purposes, outslde the gifts of the late C. B. Erwin and the late Mrs. Martin have never attracted any great attention. The reason that this condition has beon so often commented on is that in some other communities bequests in wills and contributons during the life of certain men and Women have been the means of providing improvements in a public way which add to the beauty of a place and e pleasures and intellectual develop- ment of the people. There is no better way for a man to seek to parpetuate his memory. many The Connecticut Good Roads as- sociation is making an energetic cam- paign in behalf of the retention of Highway Commissioner Charles J. Bennett for head of the state high- way department. Tt believes he is the best man for the place angd it gives 1easons for this belief. Tt is claimed by the association that Mr. Bennett has proved himself a competent road builder, that he has eliminated poli- tics from his department, that better roads have been built at a ]‘7\\‘Pr cost anrd that Mr. Bennett's experience as cemmissioner is of great value to the state,—Bridgeport Post.
