GOOD TIMES COMING, “The fashion makers say that men’s trousers are to be made with full pockets next season, It may be true, but we wish to point out that the question of ‘full pockets rests largely tpon the determination of what the administration proposes to do to busi- ness during the period in question. Up to the present time it has been the sole democratic achievement to make men’s trousers with empty in- stead of full pockets.”—Ansonia Sen- tinel. Possibly when the republicans are drafting their national platform next year they will accept this gentle sug- gestion and urge tailors when manu- facturing $3 trousers to place a $5 bill nicely folded in the right hand pocket so that the purchaser may locate it upon the first search and realize what a beneficent thing a na- tional platform is when made by real financiers. Who is there in this glor- ious country to vote the ticket under such conditions; the who would refuse continue to in party that has trousers manu- factured with empty pockets? 1t might be'a good plan to have some willing soul employed as a sort of a clerk in every tailoring cstablishment why keep power had for the purpose of interviewing the men with the new trousers as to how they like the ticket to direct them as to the contents of the pockets lest in a moment of forgetfulness they neglect to, give full praise to tae party which had so revolutionized the trouser trade and so skilfully pointed the way to prosperity, ~Why should doubt as the busi- Is coming, and there be to ness revival any as sure It is not going to be a period of plenty of work, but a period of no work.

Phelan will have no sympathy and little but im- patience for the fling at the coroner taken by the eminent counsel for the accused Mrs. Angle, following her ac- (uittal. The assumption which Mrs. Angle’s counsel sought to make was 1hat because she refused to answer Guestions put to her by the coroner in his hearings on the death of W. R. Pallou, a charge of murder was un- necessarily lodged against her. 1t dces not seem that this was so but sdmitting it for the sake of argument, was not Mrs. Angle then very poorly advised? If the answering of - the coroner's questions would have saved her all the anxiety, publicity and ex- pense of being tried for murder, then it was the height of bad judgment on the part of herself, or her advisers, to acdopt a policy of refusing to answer the coroner.— Bridgeport Telegram. New the Southern California’s Show. Letter to New Tribune.) The San Diego fair show, in a way. The subtle rather than didacti You can take the beauty or leave it. It is not saying to the Vi itor: “Get this you jgnoramus. This is more beauty than you are used to.” It occurred to me that it might make a man from Chad- ron, Neb., or from New York go hack home and that maybe the wall- paper in the parlor wasn't what it ought to be and that’® the Dbedroom carpet was all wrong. 1:spoke of this to one of the officials. He told me about a rich farmer from Imperial, who visited the fair in January. st week he came back and went to the administration building building. “I want a bunch of pictures to take pack,” he said. .“T'm building a $50,- 000 Hous I had the plans made in December and I thought they were great stuff. Then I came down here. When I got back and looked at those plans again 1 saw how rotten that house really was. And I'm having another set of plang drawn.

To him, 1 think, and to Mr. Allen, the *hitect who designed the buildings and planned the “layout,” the main credit of the fair's success belongs. Davis is an Ohio man, who has been a veterinary surgeon, a traveler for dental "sup- plies, a Chicago mail order man, and until last year a hog-raiser near Yuba City, in the Sacramento valley. A lot of San Diega business men don't like him, because he goes ahead -without playing to the petty vanity that is part of the Southern Californian’s make-up. But he has kept graft out of the fairgrounds and has put the ex- position on a paying ba Ifor ull of which he take no credit to himself, doesn’t talk about what he has done, and instead of insisting upon pointing out {o a newspaper man, he gets the newspaper man a tennis opponent and sets him on an asphalt court at Cor- onado.

(Boston Post.) of recent legisla- tion, the authorities of Atlantic City, N. have confiscated the stocks of narcotic drugs held by dealers in that municipality. The immediate effect is seen in the appeal for relief on the part of persons addicted to their use. The manner in which th renuous condition has been met is instructive, or at least suggestive. The municipal hospital, used only in case of epidem- ics or for the treatment of infectious diseases, has been placed at the dis- position of physicians, and there the “morphine fiends” are placed, not un- willingly but with their free consent.

Admission that political expediency must take precedence over govern- ment efficiency in cases where an of- ficial wishes to insure his re-election was made by Mayor George A. Quig- ey last night at the meeting of the Commonwealth club at the Grammar school hall, “An official upon election,” aid, immediately embarrassed ap- plicants for oflice who in nine out of ten cases have no training, or even fitness, for the position for which they apply, but they have a certain polit- ical strength that the official is bound {o recognize or make a political en- emy who is dangerous in times of need, whica is the next election.” Mayor Quigley considered the prob- lems of polities in city government, the indifference of the public to city affairs, equitable taxation, the main- tenance of the health of the city's inhabitants, the fire hazards and the planting of trees. The mayor said that certain condi- tions in New Britain's tenement dis- tricts are the beginnings of a slum district. The good work of sanitation in the factories is undone in the homes of workmen, and he believed the manufacturers would be greatly ben- efitted financially by interesting them- selves in the homes of their employes because they would rewarded by greater efficiancy. Criticizes Club, A suggestion that - the Common- wealth club take up the planting of shade trees in the city was made by the speaker. Seven hundred of tie finest trees in the city have been cut down in the last few years to make room for improvements. “Why doesn't your Commonwealth club do something instead of merely listening to lectures,” he said. Mayor Quigley continued, as follows: You have the official who wants an increase of salary every time the wind blows. You would be surprised at the 'amount of work he does and, if his friends hadn’t elected him to tae o ce, he would resign immediately. | In fact, he is one of those chaps who never look for office, vet is alway seeking and is always in the hands of his friends and on the hands of cvery official.
