But the man whd] boards the trolley for Hartford: in New Britain and who carries not with him a transfer cannot get a transfer when he reaches Hartford. He: is forced té pay another fare, if -he. wonld ride further in the wcity, although he has used the rolling stock of the Connecticut company for 'a shorter distance than his neigh- bor who may get a transfer on a transfer. If there is any man who should pay the added five cents it is the one who has ridden into New Britain and gotten a transfer there. There snould be no discrimination in tlus rmatter. On the face of it the whole business simmers down to.a po- lite financial transaction where the innocent passenger is held up and re- lieved of the paltry sum of five cents. Still, five cents means much to some of the working people of the com- munity, much more than the same amount could mean to the board of directors of the Connecticut company.

HEM TRANSFERS, dawn of the millenium olden glow over this vale igenerous spirits directing of the Connecticut com- sssemble in their council d out of the bounteous- hearts decree that those jde on their cars from ‘to Hartford be given her cars in the Capitol gruly shall it be the mil- br fifteen years the good his city have raised their quest for transfers on the olley. During all that jreir wails and woe-begone len upon the deaf ears of HOUSE. Well founded rumors are afloat in Washington as evidenced by de- spatches to the effect that President ‘Wilson and his closest advisor, Col- onel House, of Texas, have agreed to disagree, and that from now on the eminent conferee of the nation’s head will be left out of the councils. The reason advanced for the break be- tween the President and the Colonei is the latter’s championing the Mexican leader, Carranza. President ‘Wilson all along has believed that the Mexican problem could never be sét- tled with Carranza doing the honors. He has been as strong against Car- ranza as he "was against Huerta. Friends of the President and Colonel House are authority for the state- ments that the two have fallen out over the Mexican situation. Those who know the workings of of Colonel House are keen to appreciate ‘nis services. He has gone on many secret missions for the President, both at home and abroad and always he has brought back valuable information. It is said of Colonel House that Hhe knows more men in high executive pos cf the globe, not himself a king of po- tentate. The Colonel is a welcome guest in all the courts of Europe. His visit to the warring nations dur- irg the past Summer served a means of strengthening his friendship with the President. By interviewing some of the greatest counsellors abroad the Colonel was able to get an exact insight to the situation and pre- sent his views to the President. These must have been valuable aids in the carrying on of negotiations be- tween this country and Great Brit- 2in, Germany and Austria-Hungary. If the President after all this has seen fit to ignore the counsels of his old time friend it is because the Pres- ident believes that outside parties have played too much and too long on the sympathetic heart-chords of Colonel House. There are men in ‘Washington, in the pay of various factions in Mexico, who would go to any means to influence the President in recognizing the man they advocate for the presidency of Mexico. This is well known. These men, grasping up- on Colonel House as the closest friend of the President, may have so pressed their views upon him that he readily accepted their theories and ceme around to the belief that the doctrine they preached was the right It is easily seen how the Col- onel may have been weaned to the side of the Carranza forces. The First Chief has some strong men in Washington looking after his inter- ests, and they may have persuaded Col. House that without Carranza weilding the balance of power Mexi- co would never be redeemed. It is unfortunate that President Wilson znd Colonel House have broken the pleasant relations which have long bheen existent between them. But if the break is merely over tions than any man on the face as im- one. Carranza ed to other questions. Colonel House ‘has done some good work for the Ad- ministration and his services may be needed in-the future. Let bachelors, . who think they know, talk of freedom. The married and directors.

(Bridgeport Standard.) From all over the state, especially from industrial towns like Bridge- port, comes a warning note that may well be heeded. Tn substance it 1s that while this city is on the flood tide of prosperity, caused to some ex- tent by the war in Europe, the man- ufacturers should strengthen their normal lines and prepare to replace war orders with those of peace To the workers the universal advice is to be careful in ‘“getting theirs while the getting is good” that 'they do not take so much that they leave the employer with so little surplus that when prosperity slackens he will be forced to let them share in his adver- sity. Those who ha been connected departments of big industries well know the strer- uous efforts made to retain faithful workers long after therc is real need of their services. Many times factor- ies are run on orders for goods that are put in stock. Often the salesmen are set herculean tasks to keep the plant running. Occasionally it is neces- sary to work reduced hours in order of men be laid off and that all share in what little business there is. ' To the fan- atical mentally unbalanced person no such argument will appeal He would “gopher” any proposition, grab what he could and then hasten to some other field to repeat his selfish operations. Bridgeport is confident that the wave of hvsteria will pass, that the workers will view things in a more sane manner after the heat of the summer has gone and the ardor of the organizer, aroused by the excep- tional prospects of prosperity at so much a head, has cooled: No one blames the workingman for attempt- ing to better his condition, No one condones the actions of a manufac- turer who grinds his help. But aside from either proposition is the hard, cold question of “what will the traf- fic bear = If the business will not “stand the gaff” there will be no business. So it behooves both employe and em- ployer to be reasonable- Their in- terests are mutual. WHAT OTHZIRS 3AY Views ou all sidfles of timcly questions as discussed in ex- changes that come to Herald office, Militarism, (Springfield Republican.y It is not easy to overstate the effects of compulsory military service during the 19th century in creating ill will in Europe both between the great cmpires competing for mastery and 4mong the subject peoples of whom the empires were composed. Even in Germany the Prussian system was in- lensely unpopular and only brilliant and profitable wars reconciled the non- Prussian states to it. But the case was far worse with empires like Rus- sla and Austria, where the Prussian system put a new burden on the heterogeneous peoples owing allegi- ance. In Switzerland the militia was but a neighborhood aftair for home defense; it was quite otherwise in the great empires with mixed populations, and the obligation to do military ser- vice has been one of the great causes of a growing nationalism. It has armed Slavs against Slavs, Italians against . Italians, Alsatians - against Frenchmen, Germans against Ger- mans, and everywhere it has provoked resentment and sharpened racial an- tagonism. Among these mixed peoples it has dangerously augmented the tyranny of the state and has pro- vortionately stimulated the revival of national spirit. The Pity of Self-Pity. (Boomington Journal.) Self-pity is indulged in by men. Somec ‘more, some less. buman mind is so constituted that under certain conditions of stress, it turns inward upon itself and says, “You poor, absurd thing.” The ruin- atiin which is wrought by it appears in the fact that when a man pities himself he does so for the very reason that ought to lead his to self-con- demnation. He pities his weakness, rather than reforming them. He cod- dles his infirmities when they need to have the punishment which pugilists give each other. No man ever pities himself when he is doing the hard thing—we mean, really doing it. While a man is being brave the thoughts of heing abused or ill-treated are impos- sible thoughts to him. The business men who sits down, and, while he holds his face in his hands, bemoans, *I am hayving such a hard time,” needs the dash of that really cold water which adversity always uses when she,| would make a strong man. Self-pit; untwists the fiber of which manly men are builded. Hard times make great robust, stalwart man—when the substances is there to work on. most The Love Letter Costs Fortune. (Hackensack, N, J. Dispatch York Times.) Charles E. Hutchinson, of Demar- cst, a theatrical promoter, has lost his contest to have the second will of his wife set aside because it gave him only the life interest in an estate val- ued at )00. The first will gave him the ecstate outright, but about threee weeks prior to the death of Mrs. Henrietta Hutchinson on August 28, 1914, she found what was said to be a love letter to her husband from a woman she had always considered her dearest friend and she changed her will. The letter, which was produced to the Hackensack court during the trial is as follow: “Sweetheart: How much, oh, how much, I have longed for my bestest boy. -Am trying to get in tomorrow. Can’t say if I can manage it, but in- tend to try very hard. I love vyou, swectheart, oh, so much, Be good. L. and K. YOUR OWN TRUE GIRLIE.” Mrs. May Krietzer, also of Demar- est, who was a witness for Hutchin- son during the trial, and who admit- ted she was living in the Hutchinson home at the time of the contest in December last, admitted having writ- ten the letter, but says she copied it from the original given her by Mrs. Hutchinson. The estate will go to Mrs. Hutchin- son’s three sisters, Mrs, Charles F. Gardner, of Mount Vernon; Mrs. Es- telle Lane, of Jamaica, Long Island, and Mrs. George Goodwin, of New York city. The property includes a house and lot at 1806 Lexington ave- nue, New York. New Victor Berger Consistent. (Boston Post.) Victor Berger and his paper, the Socialist Leader of Milwaukee are consistant in their objection to the exportation of arms by manufactur- ers of the United States, which 1is more than can be said of some of the German newspapers of this country. As an cxample, Mr. Berger points out that at the very outbreak of tne war the Leader advocated a ruling against war shipments from this country, but that he was opposed by the Milwaukee Germania, Herald and Frce Press, all printed in German, which at that time thought England would not come into the conflict and that Germany might need munitions which she could import unimpeded. What has come over the spirit of the German-American newspapers’ dream? If exportation of arms from the United States was all right when the war began, why is it not all right now? The Language Test. (From the Providence Journal.) The New York constitutional con- vention had a stormy discussion nvzr the proposal that all voters must he able to read and write the English language. After being advanced to- ward final passage by a vote of 70 to 61, it was set aside by another narrow vote, 77-67. The division was non partisan in the broadcast sense, but the radical opposition was extreme due to a state of mind for which the European war is responsible. In or- dinary times such a question might have had consideration more on its merits. _ A “literacy” test for voting is evident- [ for the corresponding period in 1863 1y & very different thing from one to qualify - for American citizenship. It applies to all citizens, native as well as foreign born, if not in the same degree when as is usual, the provision calls for ability ta read and write Eng- lish. However, since the ballot is bound to be solely in that language, it would seem ito be not unfair to require that the foreign-born voter be. pro- ficient enough in the tongue of his adopted country to stand the test. As a general principle for the-assimila- tion of our immigrant population, it is sound policy to encourage famil- iarity with the language, as early as practicable. That is of immense as- sistance in inculcating the necessary instruction in American institutions. Such a constitutional provision is not unfamiliar, of gourse. California Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, Maine, Mississippl, New Hampshire and Wyoming are among the states that require the citizen ta qualify for the franchise by reading from the constitution, and some of them have a writing test as well. The rule seems not to cause serious complaint, and it was apparently originated without special reference to immi- gration; being rather, designed as a check on illiteracy, generally. It is doubtful if it would work hardship in New York, although in the foreign colonies of the metropolis the ordinary inducements to acquire the language may not be so powerful as in most communities. In Rhode Island, It would be surprising if many foreign- born residents who had been here long enough to become naturalized were unable to qualify by such a test. Mr. Watterson Heard From. (Louisville Courier-Journal.) Henry Waterson has come out for renomination and re-election of Wood- row Wilson.—Arkansas Gazette. “Come out what d’ver mean, you landlubber, ‘‘come out? Come aut of what? Come out of where? There never has been any doubt about the president’s renomination: and there will not be much doubt about his re- election. The truth is that no one can beat Woodrow Wilson but Woodrow Wilson himself. Are you for him, or against him? Cuts Tonsils And Badness. (Passaic (N. J.) Dispatch to York Times.) Max Staudte, 16 years old, son of Fred Staudte, known for three vears as Passiac’s “bad boy,” has ‘been cured of his desire to run away and steal, according to Dr. F. F. C. Dem- arest, a surgeon here. Dr. Demarest has removed the lad’'s adenoids and tonsils, and asserts that illness due to them had developed a criminal ten- dency in his patient. Max, forsaken by father, mother and sisters because of his doings, has slept in outhouses and fields when not in jail for stealing. Some time ago Max was found in a barn, and taken to the hospital by the police, and was found to be suf- fering from diseased tonsils. The operation followed. In the city court his father, on the ward of Dr. Demarest, decided to take the boy home. They will re- port to Judge Costello each Friday night here after for two months. New This Shave Was ult. (York (Pa.) Dispatch to Philadelphia Record.) William Butler, a negro. barber of Hanover, has been committed to the York county jail for an atrocious shave he is alleged to have given Lewis A. Ahrens, of York. After the operation Ahrens went to a physi- cian and had six gashes in his face sewed up and three others treated. He called it aggravated assault and battery. Ahrens was on a visit to Hanover, and dropped into Butler's shop to be shaved. He charges that as soon as the barber began operations he rea- lized that the man was drunk, and, in fear of his life, remained until the stubble and a good bit of the flesh as well was removed from his face, Outswims His Rescuers. (Chester (Pa.) Dispatch to'Philadel- phia Record.) Dropping into a doze as he sat fish- ing from, the dock wofithe Consumers’ Ice Company, Charles Stratton, aged 25 vears, tumbled head first into the Delaware River. Capt. Wesley Bowers of the tugboat Helen Bethel, shouted to his fireman, Joseph Allen, to aid in the rescue and the two men dived overboard after Stratton, who was now thoroughly awake after his unexpected plunge. With Bowers and Allen close at his heels. Stratton struck out for shore and beat his rescuers to the river's bank. Stratton says it was the most peculiar experience he ever had. Pay for Supplies. (From the Philadelphia Press.) War times in Europe in the twentieth century contrast strangely to the period of the Civil war in this country- During the war for the preservation of the Union gold com- manded a premium in this country, as high as §2.80 for a gold dollar being quoted 1n dollars of TUnited States currency. In those days it cost Americans a heavy tax to pay debts due abroad. Now, the tables are turned- Instead of our being in debt to Europe, foreign nations are greatly in debt to us and the premium now paid for debts due here must he met by the European debtors, not b the- citizens of this country who are the creditors. The shoe is on the other foot. The files of the Philadelphia Press contain some Interesting information respecting the exportation of gold from the United States at the time when this country was torn by war. From January 1 to July 20 of the year 1864, the exports of gold from New York amounted to over thirty millions of doliars, and for the first six months of the same year the exports of gold from San Francisco were nearly twenty-one millions of dollars, the total exports being at the rate of nearly ten milions per month, The exports of gold from New York were over twenty-five millions and in 1862 over thirty-seven millions. In this period of stress our gold was fréely going abroad, while at the same time our own people were sub- scribing liberally for every issue of bonds offereq by the Federal Govern- ment. Now the low rates of sterling ex- change have put the American dollar at a premium making it more costly for Europe to pay its debts here. The United States is accumulating gold at the rate of over cighteen millions per month, and thus far, this month the receipts of gold from abroad amount Yo twenty-six millions. A hoard of !'wo billions of gold in this country is equivalent to a double eagle for every inhabitant of the United States. Our own production of gold is large, Alaska alone having produced last year over fifteen.millions of dollars worth of the precious metal. Great as is {he drain upon Euro- pean countries, their resources are still very large, for the reason that every effort is being made to maintain a stock of gold by replenishing it whenever it is depleted- Early in June the Bank of England reported bullion on hand at fifty-eight millioa six hundred thousand pounds, against less than thirty-six millions for tha corresponding date of last year. Last week the same bank possessed bul- l!on valued at over sixty-seven mil- lions compared with less than thirty- eight million pounds in August, 1914. The Bank of France on June 3 reported three billion nine hundred and sixteen million francs of gold on hand, and on August 19 the same institution reported four billion thres hundred and ninety-two million. . of francs. Great Britain's resources reach to every part of the world, and they are all being mustered now for the financial support of the empirc All this special bearing upon the business situation in the United States at this time because of the question as to how European coun- tries now at war are going to pay for the immense quantity of supplies which have been purchased in this ccuntry. The supplies will continue to be exported because they are in- dispensable to the countries which have placed the orders here, apd without question some practicable way will be found to pay for them Consequently as long as the war is waged, there is not likely to be any sudden cessation of manufacturing on foreign orders for lack of means and ways of making payment ‘Wasted His Tim. (Norwich Bulletin.) When ex-Governor Cole Blease of South Carolina stood up before the conference of governors at Boston and defended lynch law and urged that it was necessary for the protec- tion of the peopie of a state, he must have made an impression that was far from creditable: It is a position which is in accord with his post, but one which the conference will hasten to repudiate if any attention what- ever is paid to it. He wasted his time. The ex-governor set himself up an ardent student of penology and a reformer when it comes to prison methods, but he failed to make plain Just what the people of his own state think of his ideas and methods. It was a hard punch of disapproval Wwhich they gave them when his poli- tocal ring was turned out of contrsl after his terms of office during which he went to the limit in paroling mur- derers and emptying the prisons un- der his political scheme of reforma- tion. That he should stand as an exponent of Iyach law is no credit tc that method of paying the death penalty for crime, and when he re- referred to the other three sections of the country standing for other methods and showing respect for law and order, it was an admission that lynch law appealed to the small min- ority. . Having lived in that section where of better educational facilities a higher standard of citizenship. and lynch law has prevailed and still ex- ists to the shame of the states, he would have bought more credit o himself had he stood as the advocate ZEPPELIN RAIDS FUTILE. No Sailor or Soldier Injured in At- tacks on England. London, Aug. 30.—"No soldier or sailor has been killed or even been wounded, and only on one occasion has damage been inflicted which could by any stretch of language be described as the smallest military importance, says Arthur J. Balfour, first lord of the admiralty, of the Zeppelin raids on England in a let- ter to a correspondent, which had complained t the British accounts of these raids were meagre while the German reports on the same events “are quite rich in lurid details.” “The reason,” says Mr. Balfour in his letter, “is quite simple. Zeppelins attack under cover of night and by preference on moonless nights. In such conditions landmarks are elu- sive, navigation difficult and errors inevitable and sometimes of surpris- ing magnitude: The Germans con- stantly assert, and may sometimes be- lieve that they dropped bombs on places which in fact they never ap- proached SHERIFTF WITHIN RIGHTS. Wisconsin Authoritics Have Jurisdic- tion Over Military Reservation. ‘Washington, Aug. 30.—Wisconsin srate authorities have full legal juris- diction over the Sparta (Wis.) military reservation, and the sheriff of the county was within his rights when he declared that he would enter the government target range and arrest any of the participants in a boxing match which was to have been held by the troops stationed there. The war de- partment has just made this discovery after a careful search of the law. Usually the jurisdiction of the civil officials ends at the entrance to a government reservation, but in this case, it appeared that the national government neglected to take advan- tage of the provisions of a special act of the Wisconsin legislature of 1911, which would have confirmed its ex- ciusive jurisdiction. l McMILLAN’S NEW BRITAIN’S BUSIEST BIG STORE “ALWAYS RELIABLE” FINAL CLEARANCE* SALE OF WOMEN’S SUMMER DRESSES YOUR CHOICE $1.00 Each Values Up to $5.98.
