The ‘“movies’ and other forms of attractions have cut into the saloon business and those engaged in to stand for any they are stay it are not ready further expenses. If there was to be an issue raised which would alienate the saloon vote from the republican party in Connec- ticut the democracy with a good ticket would have a good chance to carry the state. Liquor licenses are not in reality a state issug but if the legis- lature makes them one then of course they are evidently willing to take the consequences. It is very probable that there will be some quiet talk a along this line before the bill increas- the license fee is allowed to take da- finite shape.

(Rockville Leader.) Last Thursday the senate defeated the statewide Teachers’ Pension bill. This is to be deeply regretted. It 's the general expectation that in many of the larger and wealthier cities, systems of local pensions will take its place. . In fact, New Haven and New London now have pension systems broader in scope and more liberal in amount than the proposed measure which the state of Connecticut rejects. It is understood that . Bridgeport, Meriden and other places have been waiting for the result of the action of the legislature on this measure and have promised their teachers local measures in event of failure of the statewide movement. The Leader has it on good authority from one promin- ent in the State Teachers' association that th probably the last fight that the state association will wage for this measure. Teache in the large cities have been growing luke- warm in support of the measure, as soon as they have seen that cities offer even more liberal measures. Within the next two years it is rea- sonably certain that several city pen- siin systems will be in operation, and without the support of the city teach- the movement for statewide pen- sions will probably die. The l.eader cannot look upon this situation as fortunate for the smaller towns and small cities, which cannot afford to establish pension system of their own. [t will mean in operation that the proc ion of the best and most experienced teachers from thesc towr to the large centers will in- crease in size. The smaller commun- ities will have to continue to have their schools used as training schools for city teachers. Is this for the best inter of the state of Connecticut as a whole?
