NEW ADVISORY BOARD. It seems to pe understood that the | immon council at its next meeting | will be asked to appoint an advisory board to act with the water commis- ploners and the board of public works in connection with the improvements these two,departments have on hand, one being the additions to be made torthe water supply in Burlington and the other the improvement of the sew- age disposal system in Berlin. This board will of course serve without pay and . cannot possibly have any power. It can, however, help to' satisfy the | taxpayers that-the half million dollars to be expendeéd on those two projects will be wisely used. The.old advisory board was named by. the council a} the solicitation of the.late Thomas S. Hall -then chair- man. of the water commission. The board, however, never exercised .any influence over the water department, becatse the engineer, Percy M. Blake, did_all the ‘advising and whatever he’ uid;h@ulfl be done was done and thut; was all there was to it. The advisory board soon realized-its limitations and } in time the greater part of it lost in- terest in the work which it was ex-' pected to do. Mr. Blake dominated the board and it was reasonable that he.should have done so because he wag regarded as a very capable man and- when he was pitted mln-t an un- triendly meeting of citizens it ;became converted under his explanations anda instructions. This was manifested in the early days of his connection with the city when he appeared at a city méeting in the. old"city building: - on the south side of Commercial street Wwhen an appropriation for compl,et- ing some work at Shuttle Meadow was opposed. 'Mr. Blake made -everything clear and all voted the money in the end with the greatest of pleasure. The conditions: under which the prospec- tive advisory board will be asked to ;act will be altogether different. It ‘will be & distinctive local affair and the different matters can be discussed with perhaps a better regard for local !{nterests. It is expected that thé new ‘board will' be composed of seven or | eight members. © STRAW HAT SEASON. Anoordlnc to fashion, which uyu in \effect some things which are not al (ways accepted, the ‘straw hat season ‘begins today. This means that a man ,ieln ‘wear a straw hat without being or ‘who wishes to. continus i ‘the gouvd [ruu of fashion will wear a hat that even resembles one of straw. Once in a while a man will be ‘found wear- ing s straw hat after the season closes and upon inquiry it will be found that he does it for two reasons, one being that he Iikes the hat and the other.is that he is unable to purchase another, good grounds for violating the fashion. ar the straw hat is somewhat m that of last year. The crown is higher and it gives the wear- er a taller appearance. The price is about the same. There are of course, more than one, style. There is the There are also other shapes which are _nice and cool for summer wear. The style that used to have a black string ‘now as formerly, although the reason for it is not quite plain. That style permitted thé hat to be attached to the buttonhole thereby obviating the necessity sometimes, especially - on windy days of chasing the hat through stiff breeze. There is no string to the present day hat and if removed from the head by the wind the wnrer must do some . sprinting or buy another. The man who starts in'early with a straw hat should purchase two if pos- sible because one will lose its color under.the sun and it is desirable that it should be discarded for one of a better hue. No man . ever looks dressed up wearing an old hat. FAOTS AND FANCIES. Sam W. Small, prnhlmfiom leader says that Americons ' drank . booze enough last year to pay for 200 bat- tleships, It must be adniitted that at this particular moment, viewing the matter in the cold light of the morn- ing after, we'd rather have the bat- tleships. ‘With thnt ,bumper wheat crop the country over, the Connecticut peach ; crop assured, and strawberries to be so plentiful they willli grace every table—in course of’ e, ith i horses we can nerbury Democrat, i nary of mankind‘—Middletown Penny Press. Horses are scarce, they report from trade centers. Hence the price is ris- ing. faster than the price of Wheat. This tountry need not worry over the inroads of the motor vehicles, so long | as the demand for its horses con- tinués aé at present. We can sell, at the best prices ever known, all the raise.

Wilbert L. Bonney, American ¢onsul at San Luis Potoso, makes somie re- markable statements in a report which has just been made public by the government. The state of San Luis Potosi, Iying in central Mexico, em- braces a rich mining and agricultural region. Within the 'ast few yeats it has been crossed and recrossed hy the armies of conflicting factions. Yet in spite of these adverse circum- stances, Mr. Bonney says, “retail busi- ness in native goods is fairly active, and the paper money is accepted and rapidly 'passed from hand to hand/ TEere are no banks operating in the district. To those unaccustomed with Mexico it'is a marvel that local busi- ndss survives the shocks and strains of depreclatéd currency, suspension of imports, removal of the banks, lack of salaried employment, abandonment of large properties, loss of farm animals, suspension of freight tramc and with- .drawal of all liquid capital by natives and foreigners.” For many months there has been flat currency in Mexico and metal money has . practically . disappeared. Many of the mines in the San Luis Potosi district have been forced tc close, and this has affected a part v« the population. Yet in sprte of hard- ship, existence for the peons is not so hard. ' ““The explanation,” adds the consul, “lies partly in the ‘fact that a large proportion of the Mexican people have always been and now are outside of all these conditions,” The “poor peon” was not a shareholder in the foreigh concessions. Nurtured in ignorance and deprived of property, he had no part in the rigtd adminis- tration of the elder Diaz or even in the rapidly changing factional admin- istrations, The peon, it seems, has been put to no more inconvenieence by the stdppage of commerce than he was ‘benefitted by its success. The Mexico- that has been built on foreign capital and political despotism is not the MeXico of 'the .peons. “The loss of import trade,” says the consul, “so far as it acts the vast majority of the people, may be compared to. the loss of this Pullman service : on - the national railways of Mexico. As nine- tecths of the people never - entered a sleeping car, the loss of this service is entirely unheeded by tnem.” But out of revolution better con- ditions' pnay come. The fundamental weakness of Mexico, as all students know, lies in the absence of educated and hardy middle class people, .en- lightened as to their rights and freed from superstition. Alhough Mexico has been veneered witn aristocratic prosperity and culture, the peon has rmained much the same. Tied to fand that is not his own, knowing HL(le. caring little and earning less, ir ‘aspirations have risen no higher than his knowledge. which was piti- ahly circumscribed. The tack of en- terprise shown by those fey middle class natives, continues the consul, “may be corrected in a new class now arising, more venturesome by tem- perament, whose rise is by the quick vrocss of civil war. The war has re- sulted in more travel and experience on the part of soldiers, more observa- tion and comparison, and greuter ac- quaintance with modern conditions.” It is not likely tha the old system of | land ownership will survive, and once the peon gets on the land, and knows how to use it, the salvation of Mexico may be assured. This, too, will serve to develop commerce betwen Mexico and the United States. Dies in Grave He Dug, (Philadelphia Public Ledger.) ©Ola Albert Hjll, the “laughing grave.digger” at Odd Fellows ceme- tery, has dug his last grave. And when it was finished and he was that goes into it he raised his shovel overhead, muttered good=by to his helper and fell back into the grave of his own making—dead. His time-old ' prediction came true, for he always had ‘he would dig his own grave. Albert Hill, with his 69 years bear- ing only lightly upon his genial spirit, went about hfs business whistling and singing. That's why they called hinr the "laughing gravedigger. He lived at 2560 Napa street, was a veteran of the Civil war and a member of the 0dd Fellows. After. luncheon he returned to the grave being opened for the funeral of Eva Greesbach, 1400 North Twenty- ninth street,.who, died on Wednesday. William Upjohn, who helps him, was throwing the earth back from the edges of the opening and Albert was making the interior of thé hole pre- sentable. Finishing, he came to the surface. and stood motionless for a moment. Then he raised his shovel almost ankl jarm up in the air and sald to Up- ; John: “Good-by, Bill. Something’s wrong with me. T think I'm going ‘to die. And he turned and téll down into the open trench.. Upjohn went ‘down with him, and he says Albert dled in ‘his arms, slicking it up for receipt of the coffin, TOWN. IALK. [T " HE fact that' the char- ter amendments have practically been passed, the governor's signature being only awaited, and the peo- ple of this city under- 4 stand what they have been given in the way of local law for the next two years, some attention is being directed to the campaign to be conducted next spring when an entire new set of city officials will' be elected. It is being made pretty plain that Mayor Quigley will have oppo- sition in his efforts to be renominated. This does not prove that he will be beaten in the primaries, but it does prove that the opposition will be as formidable as it can be made &nd some are going so far as to say that in the event of his being successful in the primaries that the republicans will run an independent ticket against him at the polls. This is not probable, however, although it' is apparent at this time that he will have some trouble in the spring contest. Mayor Quigley has some friends in the dem- ocratic ranks and these are to summoned to his aid by registering | as republicans to vote at the. pri- maries as has been done by other can- didates in the past. Some of these J stories are being fostered by ambitious is a belief that they will fall through, provided that there is any foundation for them at all. Republicans with whom the “about town man” has dis- cussed this matter pronounce.the in- dependent ticket feature as pure bunk. It looks like it. The republicans are not likely to jeopardize their state and perhaps national ticket in the state, in New Britain which has over 7,000 voters by splitting it up . with an independent ticket at a municipal election. Mayor Quigley has un- doubtedly made some enemies during the past year and may make some more before the present fiscal year -closes, but it is impossible t6 say with any” degree of truth that there are enough dissatisfied. Tepublicans ' to make up as large a number to oppose him as were against him a year ago when Hhe was nominated, Mr. Schultz being close to him and Mr. Steele also polling over 600 votes. He will hard- ly have opposition of that strength this time, but even if he does and he is able to hold the same vote as he did a year ago, he will be victorious. When he goes to the polls, however, he will be up against another matter, but even so unless the democracy has an exceptionally = strong candidate he will still’have a good chance of ob- taining a number of democratic votes. He received a large number a year ago, more 8o than any of the demo- cratic leaders were willing to admit before election' and some of whom have been busy figuring out ever since where or how he did get them. Some of Mayor Quigley's friends say that it will be difficult, if not impos- | sible, to induce republicans of..any prominénce to oppose him in the pri- maries, no matter what they may do at the polls. . They regard his renom- feel reasonably sure of his election. It looks as if it may prove to be an interesting campaign. It surely will be if there is any organized attempt made to defeat the mayor. oughs put one over on the city when without its authority, so that mayor shall appoiut the chairman of the board of assessors, and a peculiar feature of this provisioh is that when the chairman is succecded on the| board by another that the person shall also be chairman, so that after the have any power to. name the chair- man, that official having been named automatically by reason of his suc-| ceeding the -member who is to be ap- pointed by Mayor Quigley. This of- ficial is to devote all ‘his time to the duties of the office. There ~ wus never before such a complete usur. pation of authority as that and it has| seemed pecullar that any one should have agreed to it. If the power of naming the chairman was left with | the mayor it 'might not have been the best thing to have done but it Wwould have been infinitely more | { breferable than the way it was done. Under the charter all the assessors are to retivg from office on-or ‘before will ‘appoint three assessors, one less two and three years respectively, and ! in May of each year hereafter onhe member years and whoever is appointed by the mayor as chairman this year will con- tinue to be chairman so long as he remains a member of .the board and his successor will continue in : the same capacity so long as the present charter lasts. Theretis alréady, some gpeculation as’' to Who Mayor, ‘Quig- ley will appoint as chaitmany The place at present is uetl by August urckhardt who has éen aon the board a number of years and who probably knows the duties of the of- fice and the property list of the city better than any one else. The, gen- eral impression just now is that he will be reappointed, although the mayor has not made any statement to that “effect. Such a start would, in_all probability, be agreeably re- ceived. It is not believed, however, that this provision will remain any longer than will permit the city to have it eliminated, That will noet 'come for two years so that it cannot do any gregt harm: before that. The legislature is tou near the close to be- gin to tamper with amendments now. There Is no such provigion in the amendment eoncerning the baard . of sdfety, reduced to three and the mayar will be, obliged to make .a choice between Mr. Alling, the present chairman, and Mr. O’Connor, who was recently ap- pointed.: There was just as much rea. !

Questions are hemg asked why it was not done. There must be an interesting story behind the latter amendment. The sinking funds of the city. are now increasing by leaps and bound: the water department being the lar- gest payer. The total amount now exceeds $400,000 which is a large sum when one considers the fact that no payments are coming due for at least three years. 1It'is true that the in- debtedness is very large and it is a pleasure to know that the means by which this debt is to be liquidated is improving. ' For years the sinking funds were kept at a rather low ebb, not because the city could not increase | them but because there did not seem to be any disposition to do so. Treas- urer Chamberlain, however, finally made a plea for larger appropriations ! and since then the funds have been ' 8Towing. When bonds were issued for the street department some years ago in order that macadamizing might be carried on on a large scale and it was claimed that the perfection of | road building had been discovered, no | provision was made for a sinking fund and when they hecame due | there was no money to meet them and ! they had to be refunded. The amount | is $50,000 and they will be due Au- { 8ust 1, 1925, the redemption of those bonds now -mounts to over $15,000. The same was tiue of park bonds issued several Years ago and when they became due there was no sinking fund and they loo were refunded. That was done under the old town system and it may be remarked in passing that the same carelessness was manifested in some features of the financial management of the city. This particular bond is- £ue is for $75,000 and will be due in nine years. The sinking fund for the | redemption of those bonds now | amounts to '$51,216.13. No appro- ! priations have been made for a long time for this fund for the reason that | it is felt that the interest on the money will bring up the amount at [ the time the bonds become due to a sum sufficient to meet the indebted- ness without any further contributions from the taxpayers. This feature of the city business has been well taken care of since the organization of the | board of finance and taxation and a | sreat deal more attention has been | &iven the details of city management | than under the old system. The city has, been more inclined since the es- | tabMshment of this departmefit to is- sue bonds in serial fashion whenever it can be done rather than have the whole sum become payable at one | ime. This practice is in vogue in reference to subway indebtedness and for some at least of school bonds. It has also the distinctive adyantage of paying as you go. Some think it may not be the best thing to have a low indebtedness but it would not do any | harm if the city’s debt was somewhat | | smaller than it is because it would | | enable us to provide some things which are wanted and which must wait for more favorable times. The | ery generally heard is that of high et the city does not seem to have sufficient money to keep things going as desired and when the estimates are being prepared a great deal of paring has to be done. | Don’t Go to Alaska for a Job, (Newark News.) Don’t go to Alaska after a job un- less you've got one promised and are ! sure of it when you get there. The Alaska railway commission has issued just such g warning to work-seekers, ! but from all reports thousands of them .are traveling to the great North- | west in the hope of finding speedy, | paying employment. i But just think a moment before ! starting for Alaska, and compare a few figures. Alaska has 570,000 square miles; it is more than seventy times the size of New Jersey; but | little Staten Island, with an area of | sixty-three square miles, has about 70,000 population, while the whole number in Alaska in 1910 was less | than 65,000.

(Letter of Supreme Court Justice Fred- erick E. Crane.) After thirteen years of experience upon the bench, I am convinced that the jury system works well for all practical purposes in the admihistra- { tion of justice. Jurors, like mosat men | having responsibility and no selfish in- terests ‘to serye, earpestly try to do the right thing. L.hayd presided over many important crifhinal, wials and all kinds of civil caseq’and,I have al- ways been impressed hm: the man- ifest purpose of the jurors to hon- estly decide the question submitted to them if it is madé plain what that question is. 1.have further been impressed with the fact that the difficulty ,if any, lies not with the juries, but with the charges of the court delivered to them. Many times these charges are so in- volved, complicated and filled with legal terminology that it is impossible for an ordinary layman to tell what it is all about... Your experience must also convince you that this s true. Where, however, a few questions have been submitted to a jury and the mat- ter ‘'made plain and simple by the | elimination of meaningicss phrasss | which- many still insist upon using. it will do right in nearly every case. The sinking fund for ¢ If there is any defect in our pres- ent jury system it is in the number by_statute w men of oipnrltnc- infl l ! relieved from service. All exemptions should be abelished. The very bus. iness and oceupations which make in- telligent judges of every-day quéstions (of fact have apparently been placed in the exemption list. Ninety-five cases qQut of a hundred do not Jast a day. Service of three or four days a yvear all that is required in most instances and everybody should serve. Again, I would impress upon you the following fact: In dealing with the ordinary affairs of life in a com- munity so complex as ours and. so tense in all its relationships, the law should not be too rigid. BEquity ex- panded the common law; the United States court interpretation has extend- ed the constitution and kept it fromn breaking, and often illogical disagree- ments or verdicts or juries in conspic- uous cases give an elasticity to our law which'works for ultimate justice, Such is frequently the instance in di- varce cases and occasionally in crim. fnal cases. Logical conclusions cannot always be applied to human life, and juries fre- quently meet the situation better than could a judge. The desire for a change in our sys- tem is a desire for better results and worthy in its purpose. The result, I believe, can be accomplished by re- moving exemption; d giving us bet- ter jurors and by ®ery simple, plain {and concise statements to thé jurors | by the trial judge of the things th are to decide. Imagine twelve trades- men trying to decide a negligence case in which the judge has talked about the infant being sui or nonsui juris, as we so frequently hear. The unanimous verdict of a jury warks as well as the conclusions reached by a judge out of his conflict- ing opinions and impressions when he alone has to decide a question of fact. Put Americans On Guard, (Washington Post.) If the president were to call con- gress in extraordinary session for the purpose of providing for national de- fense, the country would be well pleased, In times of riot and domestic insur- rection extra police officers are sworn in, The authorities take precautions when ‘widespread strikes threaten to tie up the United States mails. The troops are moved to advantageous places and theh militia is ordered out. These are times of world-wide dis- turbance .and threats of war. The United States is'threatened from sev- eral directions. 1f it is to defend its rights, it may become involved in war. BEnough has happened already to make it plain that the .United ! States should have a gooa-sized army, an efficient navy and effective coast fortifications and defenses if it is to piay any other than a eontemptible and pusillanimous role among the nations, American rights have been in- fringed and violated, American citi- zens have been slaughtered, Amer- ican ships torpedoed and sunk, Amer- ican cargoes seized and the American fiug misused. If this is not sufficient to .require preparation ~ fo enforce American rights, what is? Must for- cign fleets actually bombard Amer- ican ports or seize American territory refore the United States will assert itself.? We all hope the injuries done to this country will be accounted for te our satisfaction, and that further ag- gressions wil cease. But we don’'t know what enraged and desperate na- tions of war 'will take ‘such great pains to mollify the United States. Suppose they should not. Suppose there are other outrages lke the de- strucion of Americans on the Lusi- tania, other captures of American cargoes, other American shipg sunk without warning, Then, prepared or unprepared, the American people would make war, An army of 500,000 men should be organized. If these ‘men ‘are not needed, they can be dighanded whenh the clouds have ‘cleared away. If needed, they will bg badly needed. nhey may save the natioh from un- told disaster, shame and loes of life nd property. There cannot-be any danger In call- ing American citizens to rally around the American flag. Americans are ycace “loving. There is no military oligarey in this country. The army dces not rule, and it never will. In 1865 several million Americans trained in war laid down their arms and returned to their homes without a sign of militarism without any wish except to resume their pelceml avocations. We would rather place our trust in a strong army of Americans than in the assurances of any foreign nation. We have no fear that an American army would be unruly, or that mili< tarism would transform the country into a war machine, or that the pos- eession of this warlike force would tempt the government to plunge into war. Americans can be trusted. If we cannot rely upon our own people, we cannot rely upon anyboay. Thé gov- ernment can be trusted. It will. not run ‘amuck the moment a powerful weapon is placed in’its hands. Tt will use this weapon for defense is nec s- sary, and if not necessary it will lay the weapon aside. Who counts the cost of organizing and training an army of 500,000 men If the cost is to be counted, let the cost of unpreparedness be count- cd also. If repeated outrages stir the American people to war while they are unprpared, they must count the cost. It might run into billions before a belated defensive movement could stop the havoe, Millions spent now might save bil- lions later on. Taft and Roosevelt, (Newark News.)
