(Torrington Rgister.) It is certainly as revolutionary 2 year in bathing styles as it is in other respects. Male bathers worrs along about the same as usual, wear- ing just as liifle as possible, and making no special impression on-the world in general because that mini- mum was reached long ago. It the women who First bathing skirts began to dis- appear, in answer to a bold demand for greater freedom in swimming. They are still retreating, although Chicago has declared that they might rot go more ‘han four inches above the knee. Along with this nether shrinkage, the costumes are steadily growing more decollete, being made lighter and goods, > . A more star‘ling innovation is the discarding of !iockings. Evem the Chicago police department has de- cided to tolerate this innovation. Bare legs are coming to be the rule thereabouts, and are increasing 1n frequency elsewhere on the Great Lalkes, and on the Pacific coast.

Patriotic Italian Laborers. {Waterbury Demogral.ys | One of the most impressive bits of Wwar news rececived for sonie time is an item from Rome, Italy, to the effect that the railroad employes of Rome have refused to accept pay- ment for all the extra work imposed on them in the mobilization of the Italian army. “We would feel hu- milated,” they declared in a public statement, “if we were not willing to give our toil while others give their lives to their country.” In comparison with this pure patriotism how sordid seems the spirit of the workmen in some of the other belli- gerent countries! The world knows how near Great Britain came to ruin through the deliberate refusal of English factory workers and Welsh miners to perform work essential to the national campaign, unless hours were shortened and wages raised. Even Germany rowly avoided a labor revolt at the Krupp munition factory. it remain- ed for the Italians, toward whom na- tive Americans are inciincd to be supercilious, to show the-rest a no- ble cxample. 1In Italy. it appears, nobody is trying to make money out of the war. Rightly or wrongly, Italy is really fighting for an ideal; rich and poor, lcarned and ignorant, are united in spirit. In only one | other country is there apparent such unselfishness and unanimity That is in France. The world still much to learn from the Latins. their nar- Had Courage of His Convictions. (Meriden Record.) A well known New York business man was driving along a parkway the cther day with a party of friends, in- cluding several young women, when | ihree young men began to apply in- decent language to .occupants of the car. The New Yorker had the men ar- rested, after striking one of them a blow which left a bruise vn his eye. All three youths were fined ten dol- lars each and the maglstrate com- plimented the accuser for his action. If there were a few mure men of like courage there would be less filthy and blasphemous language used on the streets by that class of men who think that liberty and ncense are the same thing. ¢ Many things are tolerated cught to be punished because the majority of people have not the courage to appeal to the law and to back up its rulings by personal ap- pearance. The Malden and Medford, Massa- chusetts police recentiy viewed with eminent satisfaction the action of a judge who gave six Maiden men a ten day's suspended sentence for street-corner loafing. Recently the pclice started an active campaign and the police court judge announced he would assist them in ciearing the corners of men who annuyed women and children and committed other nuisances. Meriden is comparatively free this sort of thing but if there are such specimens of humanity who make it a business to drape them- selves about lamp posts and build- ings, we believe that a complaint to the police will be all tnat is neces- sary to scatter the human vermin. The Old Home Day, (New Haven Register.) To the person who knows, either through former tesidence, through travel or even througn intelligent study, that wunique isle which is farthest west of the group called Brit- ish, it ever has a compelling fascina- tion. Mention of “the Emerald Isle” and “Dear Old Ireland” fs not empty sentiment. It is a charming bit of the carth, and to fail to appreciate it is to show unpardonable dullness. ‘What is more natural and credi- able than that those who by race have a share in the heritage of Ire- land should pause, in the midst of their prosperity and opportunity in a far land which is different. to re- member the old land and its cld day Whatever the motives which e promoted the celebration of an “Irish Fair Day” in New Haven sood has come out of them, and 1more good will come.

It is well to remember and study them which of The Policeman’s Feet. (Waterbury Republican.) As the result of an exhaustive study | made by a committee of police sur- | geons in an endeavor to prevent de- furmed feet among the members of the New York police force, the police commissioner there has issued a pam phlet designed to aid policemen in their | rare | learning to walk and stand correctly, and wearing the right kind of shoes. The shoe in particular is the most | important factor in overcoming and | | preventing these - deformities. It | should be of medium weight, and one | touches over its entire length | w ruler laid along its inner side.; Pointed shoes or those that crowd the big toe outward will cause trouble and are likely to produce flat feet. fee Thesc suggestions might, Wwith profit, be past along by ine surgeons i of all cities to their police charges, | with such addenda as local conditions | require. Two Sides to Question. (Ansonia Sentinel.) Free speech is one of the founda- tion tones of the American constitu- tion and as such is defended against all encroachments by Amnierican cit- | izens. But law and order are also | conferred upon the Amercan people by the constitution and should be as | vigouously protected and defended as the right of free speech. There h | Leen much ado made out of the fact that Mayor Wilson of Bridgeport has forbidden agitotors rom indulging | in their talks in the open air on the very pertiment ground that such agi- tation is liable to breed bad blood 2nd incite to disorder and disturbance of the peace of the community. The position taken by the maysr has been justified by a judge of the city court and it is to be passed upon later on appeal by a higher court. | Under the circumstances it is not in order to dissect this ruling by the | court officials. But it is in order not to allow our vision to be clouded by a confusion of the issue. As a mat- ter of fact there was no attack made upon the principle of free speech by Mayor Wilson. The agitators could have indulged in a free and uninter- rupted flow of speech had they hired a hall. That is what other men do when they have an importani meas- ure to present tc any audience. The gentlenen in question did not, how- ever, wish to speak in the machinists' headquarters or in a hall They wished to harangue an audience of workmen in the vicinity of the plant, where “hey hoped to organize a strike movement, For the good of Bridgeport Mayor Wilson forbade open air speaking upon inflammable topics. Te probably knew that hc would be severely criticised for such action but the fact that he took thai position and has persisted in it in spite of violencc and rabid attacks in- cicates that he includes courage among his qualificatons as a chief executive, The men who are saying in Bridge- port that they will speak when and where they please, despite the definite orders of the constituted authorities to the contrary, are, in the opinion of many sane and unprejudiced cit- izens, more of a danger to the city, where they are agitating, than is the curtailment of loose and incendary talk which Mayor Wilson has put in | force. Few believe that free speech in Bridgeport is in danger and those who do bave only to read the mani- festo issued by the labor leaders | calling for the mayor's impeachment | and enumerating his short comings | to realize that speech is so free in Bridgeport that it is liable to become overheated.

When Charles Dickens' son went to Cambridge novelist wrote: “As your brothers have gone away one by one I have written to each of them what I am now going to write to you. “You know that you have never been hamrered with religious forms of restraint and that with mere un- meaning forms I have no sympathy. “But I most strongly and affec |, tionately impress upon you the price- less value of the New Testament and the study of that book as the one un- falling guide in life, “Deeply respecting it."and bowing | down before the character of our Saviour, as sepurated from the , vain constructions and inventions of men; vou cannot go Vvery wrong, and will | always preserve at heart a truc spirit of veneration and humility, “Similarly I impress upon you the habit of saying a Christian prayer every night and morning. “These things have stood by me all through my life, and remember | that I tried to render the New Tes- | tament intellizibY to you and lov- able by you when you were a mere baby.” the great | | | She Shuns “Nice Jail” City Post.)
