There has been much comfort de- rived from time to time from the re- ports of Secretary Redfield who saw the star of prosperity rising before anyone else and who of late has been making a specialty of hosiery. He says that very little stockings have been imported since the European war started, but those in Pennsylvania who have looked into the matter, not the stockings, say that he is in error. The manufacturers claim that there have been 766,295 pairs of stockings received at Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Chicago and New York at ten to thirteen cents a pair. and In- tended to retail at twenty-five cents from three to five cerits a pair less than the stockings which arrived here from Europe last September, when business was better than it has been since. In the face of such evidence it is impossible to pin ‘as much faith - to the statements of the secretary as when he lectured here during the cam- paign. Of course some Wwill lay this case at the door of the tariff law and say it is proof that the act operates against the American manufacturer, but wait until Mr. Redfield puts in his rebuttal. He may have sométhing up his sleeve in regard to stockings. They are just as long as they were before the tariff bill was enacted into law and the ultimate oonsumer says that there has been no drop in the price, so that it is difficult to say what the im- portation of so many pairs has on the market and if they have had no effect where has the tariff done any harm? Perhaps the imported stockings are still on the shelves. The evidence is that they have not affected the sel- ling price in this country, although they came in at a less cost than last fall. AND | TALK OF “BIG BILL” AGAIN. It is a poor mession of the New York legislature when some atten- tion is not given some feature of the police force of New York city. Each party likes to have the conditions in the department agreeable to its own leanings because the police can exert a large political influence, they heing acquainted as they are with prectically all the people, especial- ly those of any prominence. There is a bill at Albany now which seeks to take from the mayor the power to ap- point the police commissioner who is in charge of the police department and places it with the board of es- timates, but another provision creates a chief of police and four deputies and the claim is that this is an ef- fort to re-establish ‘“Big Bill” Devery to that position, which, when he held it had a salary of $6,000. When the office was abolished he was retired on a salary of $3,000 but he objecteel on the ground that he had paid in two per cent of his salary to the pension fund and clalmed that the legislature had no right to legislature him out of office. The court of appeals final- ly decided against him and he was left without a pension or a job. Dev- ery, however, is reputed to be wealthy and the matter of the pension has never bothered him very much. It 18 thought now that this bill seeks to restore him to his old position, but as he is over 60 vears of age it is not believed that even if the bill should pe passed, which is unlikely, he could not hold the office any longer than would give him a claim to the pension. Devery was not an ideal chief of police but he knew every crook in New York and had a way of round- Ing them up when wanted that show- ed that he was a man of great sagac- ity. There never doubt about his courage. He proved that. It does not seem'as if he will ever be placed at the head of the police department again. was any A citizen came unexpectedly into the kitchen of his house, found a man eating a good meal of victuals, and on looking him over recognized an old friend of former days. They had a little visit, the man told him of his hard luck, and apologized for ask- ing for food there, saying that he did not know who the occupant of the house was. After he was gone the man told his wife that if she indulged her gererous heart with that kind of thing very often they wouil have all democratiec club determina- Meriden's new starts with commendable tion, with principles declared and in- corporation rights sought. 1t gives warning that one of its purposes is to enlist voters, regardless of previous party aftiliations” by every honorable means nothing neutral about a that, but instead, open Founders { of the club believe in democracy and in voters and consider the latter worth after.—Hartford Time and There stand like beliigerency. | 1 1a roing No exception can be taken to the character of the men named by Gov- ernor Holcomb on the new civil ser- vice commission. They are both good and capable citizens and also good republicans, with the accent upon the “republican.” And as all of the in- ternal machinery of efficiency has been deftly removed from the 1aw it does not greatly matter whether the com- issioners ure good, bad or indifferent. They are merely to be actors for the future in an indifferently staged farce.—Ansonia Sentinel. The arguments agalinst capital punishment are mainly sentimental ones, and the arguments m favor of it are mainly practical ones. Thus the effort which is now being made in Connecticut to abolish capital punish® mont, and likewise in New York state is backed for the most part by per- sons who are opposed to capital punishment as a matter of sentiment, while capital punishment is being up- held by persons who support it be- cause they know that it is one of the raost effective deterrents of murder.— ‘Bridgeport Telegram. One thing went through at the town meeting, last night that Tew people knew anything about, That was in regard to a school supervisor, the school visitors recommended. in fact Middletown has had a school -supervisor for some months. The salary is $40 week. That is something the people know little about, from the fact the way of conducting the town schools—Ilike other school systems—is to veil the affairs over with mystery. The town only pays $20 to the supervisor, to be sure, but the state pays the other $20. Then the state comes back on the town later on for what it pays and thus the supervisor gets $40 per week and the town pays it Some people wonder why taxes xeep crecp- ing up.—Middletown Penny Press. a The Favorite Sons. (New York Times.) The republican party is about to enjoy the luxury of its first favorite son campaign in twenty-eight year: A favorite son campaign comes when- ever a party finds itself without any figure of presidentis thusiasm and to make it obvious that he is the man of the hour. In such a case it is everybody's race and every man who is thought to be of presiden- tial size puts himself in the hands of his friends, who set about capturing his own state delegation for him-as a necessary preliminary to subsequent dickers in the national convention. Thereupon sundry little men, not: of presidential size at all who in ordi- nary times would never dream of as- piring to the presidency, join the pro- cession, figuring that in the press of candidates there may be a deadlock and a chance for the dark horse. The last time this happened to the republicans was when the man of that hour, Blaine, took himself out of the race in 1888, and a free-for-all imme- dfately developed. There was a cloud of candidates that covered the hori- zon; as far os the eye could reach there was nothing but a welter of can- didates. They were so many that In- diana had two, Harrison and Gresh- am, and as she only needed one, Illi- nois took Gresham and made him her favorite adopted son. How far the rush extended may be gathered from the fact that Pennsylvania’s favorite son was a humble, respected and to- tally unknown mayor of Philadelphia, gifted with the name of Fitler. The same situation now pr nts it- self again. In a favorite son cam- paign it is necessary to begin the con- test early—a year and a half before the convention meets is none too early —because it requires the hardest kind of work in such a multitude for one man to get sufficiently far above the crowd to be seen with the naked eye. Hence it is that the republican cam- paign of 1916 is now on. Only a few of the probable entries have been made so far, but between now and next fall there will be many more. The [list to date, however, is fairly impressive, considering that it is only March, 1915, and that the convention will meet in June, 1916. Ohio has no less than four, Gov. Willis, ex-Sen- ator Burton, ex-Ambassador Herrick, and Senator-elect Harding. Illinois has Representative Mann; Tdaho, Sen- ator Borah; Towa, Senator Cummins; Massachusetts, Senator Wecks; Ponn. sylvania, Gov. Brumbaugh; Missouri, Gov. Hadley: Tudiana, ex-Vice President Ifairbanks: New York, Gov. Whitman; Wisconsin Senator La Follette. Of course Ohio will not g0 into the convention with four favor- ite sons; that matter will he thrashed out between now and then, and she wil have only one in 1916. v Back of this medley are two figures or really domincering Size—Justice Hughes and ex-President Taft. But Justice Hughes wil hardly consent to make the race—if he did the favorite sons would take to the brush like rah- bits-—and the Taft talk has o f. sisted chiefly of kindly | the high standing he has gained by his course since he left the White House. If it continues to be a favor- ite son fight to the doors of the con- vention, it will mean a long and dead- Tocked session. no candidate havine any great predominance over {ha ar con- coments on the dead beats on the road upon them, Ingland of the h phe appeared though he told her that in this case he was glad she violated his rule against back-door charity—Waterbury American. others. and finally a nominee chosen as the result of dickers ang deals and backstairs conferences between party leaders, as Harrison was chosen in 1888. ¥ 1 size who stands | out sufficiently to waken general en- | soon that the came con- re- sup- the the ,—_———~ HE charter will be amended so very little of document that into bheing with solidation will main. It was posed that when committee left amendments providing for two as- | E »rs that it would he changed to | three but instead the council decided | to make it four as at present and | now there is talk of having the com- mittee on cities and boroughs make | it three on the ground that to add | one more to it would be simply pro- viding a place for a democrat, though to make it three instead two, as decided by the committee, is to make room for a republican. motive behind the whole matter should be one of betterment for the al- | of | number of offici 1t was proposed at the council meeting this week that the provision which calls for tabling of the report of the board finance and taxation for a ter it is reported to that body should be eliminated and in accordance with that view an amendment to the char- ter was proposed and it will be tak- en up by the legislative committee when the report reaches the capitol at Hartford. The only reason for this amendment is that it delays matters. The idea in the first place w that the members of the council should have an opportunity to think over what the report said before taking action upon it. This looks like a sound reason because adopting a re- port involving close to three quarters of a million dollars may easily be constructed as being a very impor- tant matter. Tt may be that the council feels that sufficient publicity is given the work of the board of finance and taxation before it reaches the council chamber and that there is no reason for any further delay. It is difficult to see how any good can be accomplished by this proposed change. It fray be claimed that it does no good but it has been of some value and even if it has not it has done no harm and no good reason can be advanced for its repeal. The city seems to be bent on making changes of one kind or another in the charter and this will aceount for the amend- ments rather than that there is any particular reason for it. It is alwa a good plan to improve a document of this kind but changes are not de- of week af- are apparently some who still believe in some of the old ideas of manage- ment, notwithstanding the fact that experience has shown that they did not always produce the best results. The older members of the common council are dropping out ang it is l‘nn(lun('v)d that more are going to re- tire this sprng. It is always a mat- ter of general regret when a member dec get and once they loss to the city The most are obtained it i to have them retire important amendment | a for the separation of the police fire departments. It has been consideration, one might say, ever since the departments were consoli- dated and those who favored it have been just as conscientious in their views as those who have been posed to it. The time, however, seems to have arrived when arrangements must soon be gotten under way provide new quarters for the police and this can only be done by provid- ing a new building for them and leav- ing the fire department where it is as a central station. The board of pub- Jlic safety could undoubtedly manage that undertaking better while at the head of both departments than anoth- er board could singly because the board knows the needs of both depart- ments and could better plan for them than two other boards could separate- ly. It has been hinted that in the event of the board of public safety being wiped out of existence that new members will be piaced in both com- missions so that all personal feelings will climinated and the depart- ments will be started out on the new path with a clean bill of health and told to paddle their own canoe. There may be something to this re- port but Mayor Quigley would hardly select all new men for such work be- cause it requires men of peculiar qualifications to manage such branches of the city service. board of public safety is the one of the city that has caused undue excitement in the political life of New Britain. It is the only place where there have been any deadlocks and they have also extended the feel- ing into the common council. This does not seem to have been the fault of any individual member but was rather the result of the views taken on certain matters. If men will con- tinue to agree to disagree there can be no unanimity of sentiment and there should be a unanimous vote on practically every question. During the first vear of the board of public works there was but one wvote that was not unanimous. When any ques- tion came up upon which there was a division of sentiment it was laid on the table and each member of hoard was requested to make a per- sonal investigation and this usually brought all together when a vote was finally taken, If men will only take in- to consideration the interests of the city there will never be any deadlocks and there will never be any disputes over matters brought up for settle- ment. 1t the only thing to do. Politics should be kept out of every department and let the city itself have a run for its money. under be only, the | is seem views New Britain people to have some very pronounced o il liquor license dquestion for it appears as if it is practically impossible for an application to be filed without | causing a storm of opposition, Ther, was to have been a hearing on an | application for a license on Main | street yesterday, but the remonstrance | was so strong that sooner than face it the applicant withdrew the cage, On | | | | e | The | ty rather than the increasing of the | the | sirable unless this can be done.

It has been the policy the commissioners to restrict saloons to the center of the city, but it looks as if there is opposition to any more, and as no hearing was held it is im- possible to say just what form the op- pusition would have taken. It seems ' to be the general opinion, however, that there are enough of saloons on Main street at present, but if the pres- ent high license bill before the leg- islature pas: it will mean that the in this city will be reduced and it is impossible to say just in what will be made. 1t may be truthfully said, however, that the high license bili may not pass S0 that the question of lessening the number of saloons may not be con- sidered for at least two years more. It is pretty well understaod that a liquor license valuable in New | Britain just now: if reports are truc some very large sums have been paid for saloons /in this city during the past year ar two and the cost was chiefly due to the value attached to | the license, it being understood that as long as the law is observed the owner will not be disturbed. There is also a general impression that na new licenses will be issued in this city without a protest and there is plenty of ground for this belief. All new applications, with the exception | of one on Myrtle street, have been | strongly opposed during recent years | and for some unknown reason county commissioners do not seem to show any inclination to depart from this custom. The decision to strict saloons to the center of the city made several years has been religious ly adhered ta ever since. 1t caused some displeasure at !the time, but all 'seem reconciled to it now. would saloon of is re- New Britain people are very much pleased that the mystery concerning the murder of Father Zebris and his housekeeper has been cleared up and that the assailants will be brought to justice. 1t was feared that the mur- der would remain unsolved and that it would be added to the already too long list of mysterious crimes in this state. It may be that Montvid, who made the confession, will be brought here for trial because he has | said enough to convict him of murder in the first degree and if it is insuffi- cient there will be no difficulty in ob- taining corroborative evidence to strengthen the case against him. Tlis companion in the local murder will be held for the killing of the police~ man in Wilmington and if Montvid, who was with him in that case also, is not held with him he will in all probabi be turned over to the state authorities for a hcaring here and trial in Hartford, unless he should Dbe brought up on a bench warrant when he would hardly be given a hearing in New Britain. There is no longer any doubt as to who did the killing, but it being noticed that Montvid does not say just how the two people were killed. It would interesting to know just how that we done so that there would be none of the features of the crime left solved. 1t may be that Krakas who will tell what he knows about it when the Declaware court dis- poses of his case. There does not seem to be any defense which he can offer to the charge of murder there and he cannot gain or lose anything in telling about another crime if he chooses to do so. is whether he can be induced to talk. He has declined so far, but when he has had a chance to think it all over and realizes what he i$ up against he may see things in a The New Britain murder was an awful affair and’ the entire city is waiting for some information as to how it was done. Was the priest killed first or was it the woman, did they make fight or how was it that there were so many shots fired and not attract any atlention? These are things the ay- erage person would like to know There have been a great many the. ories advanced and it would be in- teresting to know all the facts, They may be given out before the ’ here ang in Wilmington are disposed of. COMMUNICATED. Pcople Warned Regarding Fires in Connecticut. cases finally Forest Editor Herald:—There is every s0n to expect an unusually early severe forest fire season in Connectl- cut this spring. The lack of snow or rain and the hot sun of the past few weeks have made the woods fields veritable fire traps which need only the careless dropping of a lighi(- ed match, cigar or cigarette butt to start a conflagration. Already forty- three fires have been reported to the state fire warden as occurring during the p{st three weeks, Probably many more nave not been reported, Tt will be a month at least hefore vegetation will be advanced sufficiently to check the spread of fires, The local fire wardens are vigilant and anxious to prevent all damage possible, but the public must co-operate with them if large expense as well as property loss is to be prevented During the severe drought of last fall nearly five hundred fires occurred in this state, causing thousands of | dollars damage. Most of these fires were due to carlessness on the part of people who were in the woods and fields during the hunting and nutting asons. With the. advance of spring, thousands of men and boys | each pleasant Sunday and holiday, | will respond the call of the wild. | ¥very one of them ought to realize his responsibility to the community to see that no fire results from his carelessness, or that no fire which ha covers in the woods is left unex- tinguished. Every town has a fire warden who should be notified of any fire which is beyond the control of the party discovering it. The tele- | phone central can usually give the | fire warden’s nun_fl'ver.
