This storm was more terrific than that of 1800, and, had it not been for the great sea wall, which is more than three miles long and cost almost; four million dol- of what Galveston %lars, greater loss of life and property would have resulted. Only seven lives were lost in this recent flood as against more than ten thousand in 1900. These peoble would have been saved had they regarded the warnings given them, say the survivors. About ten millions of dollars’ worth of supplies represent the property loss. Galves- ton has shown she is capable of tak- ing care.of herself. Had. it not been for the preparations that were made after the 1900 disaster there would probably be no Galveston today. All of which goes.to show just what it means to get ready for the coming of the inevitable. And Galveston is not going to stop where she is. More work will be dane, the sea wall will be made higher, stronger and better, the causeway will be congtructed upon the best possible lines, and Galveston will be as safe as any city in the land.

Alabama is about to do by constitu- tional amendment, that which Con- necticut took care of a century or more ago. Its voters one year from now will be asked to pass upon a pro- posed change in the state’'s organic law which will allow the levying of spccial: taxes for school purposes. It is hard to think of a state in the Union so behind the times as to not permit in these days special help for cducation, but there are others in the’ South and even in the so-called “pro- gressive West,” which are not up to the point Connecticut reached when the became a commonwealth before the last century. Alabama is one of the states with a high percentage of illiteracy. If it adopts the proposed amendment this grace will be in time wiped out.

(Hartford Post.) “I am going to support the nomi- nee of the republican party in the election fight,” shouted KEugene N. Foss to the crowd of 2,500 men gath- ered around him in court square in Springfield last night. “Who cares?" was the answer that came back to him from the crowd, and the Repub- lican says it saunded like “a hoarse growl. Before that he had been asked: ““You've been a turncoat three times in the past five vears; where are you now?” “I am in the repub- lican party,” shouted Foss. “Now wait a minute; I've got the right to change my mind as often as I wish. When a party no longer serves the peaple I'm through with it. The re- publican party today needs Foss more than Foss needs the republican par- ty.” Mr. Foss went to Springfield to make a political speech but the only chance the crowd gave him was to answer Its questions, and when he had been heckled to his heart's content he got into his auto and went away. Mr. “Dan” Toomey, a representative of the Springfield breweries was there to divide time with the ex-governor and was told: “You rum men are running this state and I am out to beat you.” Foss was heckled by the eight hour agitators about labor conditions in his factories, and other matters, and although he could not speak more than two sen- tences without an interruption he de- clared it was the hest meeting he ever had. He was ahle to fire a few verhal shots at Governor Walsh and claimed to be enjoving himself. But not everybody cares for sort of enjoyment. that Tears for the Traflic Squad. (Waterbury Republican.) By way of a diversion from more distressing topics, let's consider the traffic policeman's winter overcoat. Waterbury's bill of dress for the police department provides for an cfficial winter overcoat which may be cdescribed as a uniform frock coat. It is tightly buttoned and fits the manly forms of our protectors of the reace to perfection. Put one upon a husky officer and send him out to winter at his nermal cruising speed of two and one- half miles an hour, and 1t will keep aim warm. But suppose he is a .traffic officer, and instead of patrolling his beat has ‘o stana i cne spot on & windy street corner veral hours without relief, Will tre same overcoat keep him warm? It will not. He needs some- thirg warmer, looser and heavier.
