LING THE MILEAGE QUESTION, of the problems which 'has all people in the United States the first national and first ongresses assembled ‘has been ileage question. There have any -heated debates over this ime problem, and it has often vears to bring about a change dition.” In the Congress of the States the question has been t up time and time again and lefe has been no change made. embers get ‘twenty cents a mile, ime allowance made to those ed in the old stage coach days ravelling was tedious and dif- hnd wien®the twenty cents per arely covered expenses, Now, of | giving to the Legislature the power | to fix and regulate the mileage of its members. From /latest figures avail- able, the 159 towns which voted on the question yesterday registered a Scant majority in favor of the propo- ‘sition. It is very evident, however, that the voters are not sure of their ground, that either they have not giv- ‘én’the question the proper amount of thought, or they are up a tree. But, as “aimatter of fact, the votes regis- tered ‘yesterday will have very little influence on the final outcome of the matter inasmuch as the larger cities, to be heard from later, will either de- feat or put through the proposition. The sentiment throughout the state has not, as yet, crystalized anent the mileage question. There are many who are not quite familiar with the proposed amendment and many who are willing to let things stand as they are. The compensation of members of the general :assembly at: present must not exceed three hundred dol- lars “for the term for which tney are elected.” The mileage allowed is at the rate of twenty-five cents per mile, each way, for the regular ses- sion. For attending any extra ses- sions called by the Governor they are allowed one mileage each way at the same rate. The proposed amendment, in addition to the compensation al- ready allowed, would give the Legis- lature the power to provide by law “for the transportation of each mem- ber by public conveyance by the most convenient route between his home station and the place of meeting dur- ing the session or sessions of the gen- eral assembly to which he was elect- ed.”, On the face of it, this means that the, membef could.maké as.many trips as he deemed advisable between hi§ Home town, by.train and taxi, and the state capital; that, instead of re- maining in Hartford during the whole session, he could go and come every day, his mileage being paid by the state, whereas at present he can make but one trip to and from the regular session at the expense of the state. Whether a change is justified must be decided by the people of the state. There is this much in favor of it. The men who make the laws for the | state of Connecticut receive a com- | pensation which is beggardly when compared to that given in other states nearby. Thé nioney question has never entered into the proposition with the men' who wear the togas at Hartford: It is the homor. If the| people think a more liberal rate of compensation ig advisable they should not hesitate.a moment in so provid- ing. Three hundred dollars, after all, is a pretty small sum. A PRESIDENTIAL “FAN.” President Wilson has announced his intention of joining the legion of loyal ones and on Saturday next will jour- ney to Philadelphia to see the Amer- ican and National .league baseball teams battle for the second game ‘in the world’s championship series. This gives some idea of what a hold base- ball has on the populace of the na- tion. The President loves a game of baseball as well as any boy or man in the country. He is an ardent fan. A dyed-in-the-wool rooter. His education along these lines was prob- ably finished off at Princeton where he often sat in the bleachers as a college professor, and rooted for the Tigers against the Yale Bulldog and other collegiate animals. Down in Washington he again found things to his liking, He has opened every sea- son there since his incumbence of office by tossing the spheroid from the grand-stand to Walter Johnson in the | pitcher's box. That the President of the United States is able at this par- ticular time to lay aside the cares of ‘his office and join the motley throng at a baseb#ll game is a good i omen. It gives a fair idea of the | security of the nation. When Kings, | Kaisers, Emperors, Czars and other potentates are busily attending to their knitting on the ‘battlefields, we are fortunate to have a chiéf executive | preparing to watch such a gigantic but at the same time placid, struggle ! as a baseball game. May that the most serious conflict he ever sees | on American soil. | be | . i A Tribute to John McGinley, (New London Day.)

The Hartford Post has every re- spect for Lucius E. Whiton, senior member of the state board of arbitra- ! tion, who stated point blank to this raper yesterday, that if there is any demand for activity on the part of his board he will resign. We have re- spect for Senator Whiton because we know him for an able, honest citizen, o public official who has no interest | to serve but the state’s and who acts ording to the dictates of his con- gcience and not as he's told. But knowing the senator as we do | and appreciating his loyaley to public trust, we believe that the only course of action honorably open to him after this statement, is to forward his resig- nation to the governor of the state torthwith. If he does not do so Governor Marcus Holcomb. should im- | mediately call for this resignation.

The Bad Man in the Play. (Bridgeport Farmer.) Literature and the drama are val- uable as they are, or are not pictures of life, models of manners and morals, warnings against things not to be done, or instructions in things that should be done. The vices and the virtues of men are pictured side by side some times a¥ co-existent in the same character, and sometimes separated in different characters—the villain and the hero —for the sake of emphasis. ‘When this necessary literary methods applied to the people who constitute te. great majority of the population, it is accepted as a mat- ter of course, as necessary, useful and even valuable. Too, frequently, when some villain in the play is given a nationality rep- resented by a minority in the M- ticular community, the character is resented, and regarded as an affront, which, of course, is a very ridiculous view to take. Just now some of the good colored people of Bridgeport resent the pro- duction of a noted picture drama be- cause it contains a scene in which @ member of the negro race is depict- ed in a crime. But it should be not- ed that members of the same race are depicted with all the virtues, that virtuous men and women have. They will also note that white villains ap- pear upon the stage, as well as black, and that the whole thing is a some- iWhat exaggerated picture of life as it 5. Plays would be insipid if only the good, people appeared in them, and none' of the bad. Such plays would glve a false idea of life, and woula be less instructive than they should be. The colored people of Bridgeport may feel sure that this community will never tolerate any different dra- matic or literary treatment of them, than it is accustomed to accept for the white people. Bad men and Women are common to all races, col- ors, countries and climates. They re a part of life, inseparable from life. Literature places them under ‘the microscope. that we may look them over, take warning, and mend each his own way- War Relaxes Etiquette. Military etiquette is always relaxed in war time, and we are passing now through much the same phase as in Crimean days, when officers who had grown beards and acquired a taste for tcbacco through long months in the trenches exhibited their beards and igars in Piccadilly, says a writer in “The London \Daily Chronicle” Offi- cers back from the front no longer smoke pipes in public places—a breach of decorum which would have been impossible before the war. Worse even than that—in the opin- ion of retireqd colonel, who views the outrage moodily from the win- dows of the “Rag”—is that the sub- altern has taken to carrying his own bag, and not infrequently exposes evi- dence that he has been shopping. London, Sir James Barrie once ob- served, is the only place he knows where a man may eat a penny bun in the street without attracting un- desirable attention, and we may see the day when the one star officer will try even that experiment. The Dollar Standard- (Meriden Journal-) The floating of this half billion loan means that real steps have been tak- en to establish the American dollar as the standard of value the world over and that New York, instead of London, Paris or Berlin will be the financial center of the world. For that reason and because it gives sta- bility to American trade the credit ar- rangement in process of adjustment with England and France is a most popuar move. The loan, it may be observed, is of greater importance to the national activities of our own country than in its relation to the conduct of the European war, Its main importance lies in the fact that the export trade of America is not to be severely hand- icapped by a protracted period of excessive Wweakness in our interna- tional exchanges, While only Great Britain and France are directly interested in the negotiations, the real influence on American trade is much wider and much more important. Resides our own trade with the countries named, the demoralization in exchange rates means interference with trade that is financed through London. A very considerable amount of this class of business is still being con- ducted. As everybody knows, dollar exchange, while rapidly attaining world-wide popularity, -is still quite in its infancy. Under most favoring circumstances it will require years to develop on an important and world- wide scale. But with the restoration of our in- ternational exchange rates there will be less incentive f foreign interests te avoid the American market when purch ng their supplies of food and of clothing and all other necessities. This is of great value to our agricul- tural sections, especiallly to the west, where such large crops have successfully raised and are now for practical purposes ready for our home and foreign markets. venteen Years—and Death. (Bridgeport Telegram.) It takes at least seventeen years to rake human food ready for cannon. That is a fact which cannot be over- looked in computing the possibilities of the present European war. Today’s basis of the armies fight- ing in behalf of the various European rations must be computed on the census of 17 yvears ago, for 17 is the minimum age at which become fitted for milttary service. It i« bad enough to take a youth 17 and serve him up to a gun, but Nature has decreed that it cannot be worse Lecause younger men are useless for been | | have added another, namely: Wha* is | transmitted through the news voung men military purposes. Even the most | hardened of militaristic states can per- ceive that self-evident fact. This truth becomes especially im- portant in a war such as is now being ‘ fought on the western front in Europe. | We have 120,000 soldiers in killed, wounded and missing to make a vain defense of a few square miles of land in northern France and in Belgium, and we do not know how many men it took for the victorious Allies to win. It probably cost them heavily, but not as heavily as that, for the side which has the most guns, ammunition and men can deal the most smashing blows, ad the Allies on the Western front now have that preponderance, just as the Germans had it in the be- | ginning of the war. On the retreat from Charleroi to the Marne, the Allies lost more heavily than the Ger- raans; on the retreat from the Marne back to the present line, the Germans | lest more heavily than the Allies, and on the Western front the ‘Germans must be losing more heavily than the Germans in the east. Putting the claims of the press bhureaus of all nations into one batch and dividing up to obtain the average and assuming that losses are about equal all around, the war now Te- solves itself into a gigantic game of chess or checkers, in which one side is forcing a policy of continual trad- ing. The more exchanges are made, the more advantageous becomes the position of the side having the great- est number. Germany, fighting almost exclusive- !y on foreign soil, holds the geo- graphical advantage, but actually her | predicament is terrible, for in the deadly exchange of man for man which is going on, steadily gaining the advantage, even German science, skill and ratience cannot reverse the processes of nature, nor erase the census of 17 years ago, which has already decreed the final limit of her available human material. Unless she can win by a smashing stroke of genius— and against that chance must be always halanced the fact that her foes have en equal opportunity—she seems aoomed to be crushed by the guperior numbers on the other side. The Movie Trust. (New London Day.) Perhaps in a few days we shall be given to understahd more fully what is meant by the announcement of a | ordering the federal dissolution trust. through its head all the processes by which the movie business has been court opinion, of the motion picture | ccme to' be applied to women actual- | every woman |art and the few | days when the best peoples of the old | world were doing their bravest to ad- her enemies are‘.‘h" Circus Maximus of Rome’'s best And | If the federal court has gotten | a ‘“merry widow"” as “he dead; glad,” had the idea much more curately than the post office de- partment at Washington seems to have it. The impression seem to be that Washington's idea of a grass- widow is woman who has become physically separated from her hus- band, and wants to be legally separ- ated. There is lack of authority for such an arbitary definition. In the American acceptance, a grass-widow was first a woman temporarily sepa- ted from her husband, as while he iz traveling or residing at a distance on account of business, Through more or less mistaken usage it has she ac- ly divorced. Its application, to & woman seeking a divorce is rarer, and has the least justification. The ori- ginal significance, which has no sug- gestion of divorce or desire of di- vorce, is the pleasantest and most legitimate one. What's the matter with the post office department? Is it bound that whose husband doesn't spend every night with her shall be “officlally divorced?” It would better consult a good dictionary. For Modern Circuses. (Waterbury Republican.) Throughout the schools and col- leges of the country and wherever there is an appreciation of classical memorials of the vance the cause of civilization, as they perceived it, will be found pic- tures of certain Grecian and Roman amphitheaters and race courses and days. Down through.the generations there has been great respect shown these institutions and to this day most men marvel at their magnitude, their construction, their beauty, the deeds that were done in them. Even in the presence of the great monuments of man’s powers and talents which stand i about all sides, the creations of the generations still upon earth, one may hear men sounding high praises of thé men of old, and rightly so. But today there is evidence of the passing of the glories of classical monuments. War, with all its horrid surroundings, has opened men's minds' to the mighty creations of modern races. Peace also witnesses year in the monument building line. more and more rapid advances each Harvard, Yale, Princeton have en- tered thousands of admiring specta- tors in wonderful creations that com- tine the ideals of classic monuments and the practical features demanded trustified, and the ramifications that achievement, than almost anybody else has ever been able to do. And if it succeeds in actually breaking up the trust which it decides to be in existence it will have done a still more wonder- | ful thing. Judging from some of the productions of the combine, the movie business could scarcely be in a worse condition if it were split up into ever so many fragments, credit is given for the splendid fea- ture productions under trust auspices, | Bernstorfi and Armenia. (Bridgeport Standard.) It seems that Count Von Bern- storff, the German ambassador at Washington, accepts, if he is not re- sponsible for, the report that stories of the massacre of Armeniars by the Turks are false. He assures the public that there have been no massacrs, but h gives no proof of ‘the truth of his assertion, which con- tradicts the testimony of hundreds of witnesses of various nationalities who have all been knowing to some phases of the business and who all agree that the Turks have been guilty of atrocities that are worse than those perpetrated by the Germans in Bel- gium. Perhaps Von Bernstorff will write a gium, but were entirely quiet and peaceful marching through thot country. We have, in connection with the cloud of witnesses refefred to above, the testimony of Viscount Bryce, Minister Morgenthau, our con- suls in Asiatic Turkey, the primate and bishps of the Armenian church, and our American missionaries in the field, all to the same purport, and these people are to be classed as falsifiers because some one has re- ported to this man, Von Bernstorff, that their testimony is untrue. Really this German ambassador is becoming impossible in his assumption It would not be surprising if he were walking to a fall It Seems Attractive. (New Haven Union.) Since Billy Sunday was showered with gold and nation-wide acclaim as the “baseball evangelist,”” the exh ing arena has proved an attraction to several well known characters, John L. Sullivan, ex-prize fighter, physical culture exponent and Broadway char- acter, has his hat in the ring and this winter is going to follow in th: footsteps of Sunday. Then there is the “Black Billy Sunday” touring the country and preaching much after the fashion of the original sensation. Now the newspapers report that “Al"| Jennings, former sage brush terror ! end desperate outlaw of the south- west, is to start an evangelistic career in Brooklyn. There are a dozen other imitators of “Billy Sunday" in various rarts of the country, imitators of less fame than those mentioned. The calling seems attractive but it is being overcrowded.

When | the Midvale presidency | rise to rumors in Wall by modern luxury-lovers. Saturday nessed the public opening of an- cther mighty work, dedicated to the Lleasure of the people and a distince advance into the new realms of prac- | tical architecture. The speedway at | Sheephead Bay is a monument to modern western civilization and its pursuits in search of pleasure, just as the Circus Maxims typifies the de- mands of the Romans of old for sport and amusement. In a peculiar manner the new Sheepshead Bay institution combines the old and the new sports, for sur- face and aerial sports may alike be Its opening is notable largely because of this fact, and in the pages of present day history which will be pursued by the people of the future the wonders of this new amusement center at Sheepshead Bay is likely to be given far more prominence than many of the institutions of the country which ray be generally counted as more worthy or better entitled to immor- talization. The speedway will be secure in the honor because it is the first of its kind in the western world and one of the greatest institutions of its kind in any land. Like the arenas of ancient Greece and Rome, it, too, in its day will roll up a notable record of great games and great acci- dents.| WATCHING K SUBMARINES, Way To Honolulu Their Own Power. Washington, Oct. 5.—Navy depart- ment officials are watching with in- terest the progress of the four United States submarines of the K class which are now making the long voyage un- der their own power from San Fran- cisco to Honolulu. They will re- lieve the F group:of submarines at Honolulu, which will be towed home and put out of commission until de- fects disclosed by the accident to the F-4, resulting in the loss of twenty- one men, has been remedied.
