That the question which must be conscientious- ly considered and answered before the failure or success of the Bridge- port plan can be fully passed upon. Methods of present day religionists differ somewhat from those which were in vogue many years ago. In the olden days, church going on Sunday was part of regular routine life, Now it is looked upon as somewhat aside from the functions of ordinary man- kind. It is probably due to this feel- ing of apathy held by the laity toward sacred things that the preachers and doctrinaires have resorted to all sorts of methods to get people within the portals of any edifice wherein divine services are held. In some measure they must recoup their losses in at- tendance or the structure will fall Nevertheless, it is to be deplored that such things must come to pass, that placards and circus bills must be post- ed outside the holy of holies, that women must be planted.in the center aisles. of churches to entice the men. It may Dbe modern-day business methods; but it is so far different from the *“old time religion” that it sort of grates on the nerves of those who have held these things as some- what higher than the sordid plane of common existence. Not that any- one objects to seeing women in the churches. By every law of nature, the women are the ones who are supremely interested in the welfare of the churches. The old timers will tell you that if it had not been for the influence of good women the churches would have had a sorry struggle; that women have always been the best church-goers; that their wonderful influence over the male of the species has always been exerted in this one direction, to make him a better animal. But it is not as ushers that they shine, No! They are at their best when by their good example they work on 'his sub-consciousness and lead him, though he knows it not, to the place of divine service. Once they don a badge which flagrantly says to him “I am here to make you is Bo to church,” their subtleness has gone by the boards, their influence has waned, their power destroved. That is why we believe the Rev. Everett A. Burns of the Washington Park Methodht Hpiscopal church:in Bridgeport will find his efforts nothing more than a novelty that will “wear off much in the same fashion as the transient styles of .the day. His girl ushers would do better if they began in the home circle, not'at the main door of his church. There is much “ushering” to. be done; but # must be undertaken by mothers, wives and sweethearts, and should be started in the family ¢ircle. YALE’S INNOVATION. Yale university has now started something which mdy in time prove the settlement of the question of pre- paredness of the nation. The trustees of this great seat of learning,-we are creditably informed, have decided to donate to the students a site of land on which is to 'be erected an armory wherein a battery of artillery may be drilled. The undergraduates have already become obsessed with the idea, have started the work of recruiting, and friends have begun a subscrip- tion for the fund with which -to build and maintain the necessary structure.- It is estimated that fifty thousand dollars will be required to further this project. ' Granted that the armory is erected, and that a capable troop of undergrad- uates is enlisted in the cause, and drilled under the tutelage of a regu- lar army officer, the success of the plan must eventually be brought to the attention of the nation. There could be no better possible material for work of this kind than can be se- cured among the undergraduate stu- dents of Yale, or any college or uni- versity of its kind in America. The young students who matriculate each year at our colleges and universities represent the highest type of man- hood. They are, for the most part, the sons of men who have made American soil their home, who have accomplished great things under the present form of government, and who are desirious that their sons shall have every advantage, advantages they themselves oftentimes were de- nied. The sons of such fathers must necessarily hold an appreciation for a country which has been so good to them and their forbears and their first desire would be to defend such a nation, when defense was necessary. If the battery of artillery can be maintained at Yale University without taking too much time from the reg- ular routine academic life of the stu- dents there is no reason why it should not be azuccessful. Aside from the intrinsic value it may have as a mili- tary asset to the nation, the training the young men would receive under the guidance of United States army officers would stand them in good stead in the future, as healthy citi- zens of the land. The physical ex- ercise derived from such work as artillery drill cannot be overestimated. If other universities see fit to fol- low Yale's lead in this matter, it would not be many years when, if the occasion presented itself, the United States could call upon its col- would be capable of repulsing any foe that might dare to tread foot up- J on our shores.

Comments of Southern newspapers on the decision of the British gov- ernment to make cotton contraband show so little concern as to suggest that the recent discussion of the sub- Jject has, after all, been more German than Southern.—Buffalo Express.

In an editorial approving the expert | tariff-board proposition, the Chicago Tribune asserts that ‘an untrained body of 500 men cannot do this work."” This may be true, but the last con- gress whipped into line by a free trade President, has supplied all the proof necessary to clinch the argu- ment that a big body dominated by | Democracy is capable of doing a whole lot of harm to the industrial interests of the country.—Gloversville Leader- Republican, While we have no special grievance against drugs in the abstract, we are - bound to remark that, although the | war {s said to have caused many drugs to disappear from the American | market, we have noticed no marked increase of mortality on that ac- count; and we are moved to recall the laconic statement of Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes that, “if all the physic were cast into the sea, it would be better for mankind and worse for the fishes.—Manchester, (N. H.) Union, A Social Surprise. (Ansonia Sentinel.) It is not too much to say that the ! president took the nation by surprise when he caused announcement to be | made of his engagement to Mrs, Nor- man Galt of Washington. Congragula- tions are in order for the White House needs a mistress as much as | the. president needs a charming wife to’ make his habitation a home. He has been a lonely man since the death of his first wife and the marriage of his daughters. Sclitude has been his portion and there is no one in the | country who will not wish him well in, his new bid for happiness and con- genial companionship. The future Mrs. Wilson is a woman of unusual beauty, gifted and endow- ed with natural charm. She has the admiration and love not only of the president but of his daughters and | the bellef is general that the union will mean a personal happiness for | the chief evecutive, to which he is en- titled and of which death deprived him little more than a year ago. He will be a better,” stronger and more efficient representative of the people, when he has a companion at his side, | who can give to him at all times | sympathy, loyalty and love, when the storms beat round him. Not As It Was. (Cleveland Leader.) Let not the dead-game sport and the Jack London man grieve because the lid is getting bigger in Cleveland, policemen wear white gloves and give lectures in social settlements, and Mildred Chadsey discourages the use of plug tobacco by her sanitary cops. Even down in Arizona, the erst- | while habitat of Alkali Ike, Three- Card Slim and Bill the Booze, playing seven-up for nickles is now a felony. One of Alkali Tke’s desert pals | has just been sent to the penitentiary | because two bottles of alcoholic dust- remover were found in his possession. | Jn rough-and-read Texas a man, even if he does wear an old flannel shirt, a huge moustache and a fierce de- meanor. can't take a drink even out of his own bottle.

Practically all | the new laws the democrats enacted the large majorities by which the democrats control Congress. The democrats legislated on subjects on which, in a general way, the re- pPublicans promised legislation with- out keeping their promises. Their Promises were never intended to be | kept as may be judged by the fact | that they were not definite as well as by the further fact that they were not kept. The re- publicans had long pretended that they would revise the tariff down- They had long admitted that our cur- rency system was the worst ever de- vised and promised to change it, but beyond a little tinkering they made no changes. We doubt whether there Is a man in the United States who Wwill say that the currency law that the democrats placed on the statue books is not better than the repub- lican law that it displaced. We have not seen such an assertion. The democratic law has met with very little adverse criticlsm and so far as we know the republican law has not found one defender. Shorter Hours On The Farm. (Bridgeport Standard.) “Shorter hours on the farm' now the cry. But here there are special difficulties in the way of re- form. Evils of such long standing that they seem to be rooted in the very constitution of things must be grappled with and overcome. Why ' should a rooster for instance, find it needful to wake up the neighborhood at an unearthly hour simply because, having gone to sleep with the com- he has no further Why should the pigs require feeding at an hour when no reasonable human being has thought of breakfast and why should the cows insist upon being milked and golng to pasture at a time when the hired man is getting his sweet- est sleep? This may be Nature's way, but if so, Nature needs reforming and must be interviewed by some walking dele- gate with adequate powers to lay down the law and prevail upon her to obey! There is no reason why corn, potatoes, peas, beans and other vege- tables should not conform their hours of growth, maturity and final har- vesting to the system that is most convenient for the farmer who is, or should be, ‘‘the boss” in all matters that have to do with their produc- tion. We think it can be done. And we are willing to allow someone else to make the effort. is New Clothes, New Thoughts. (Des Moines (Ia.) Register Leader.) Frederick C. Howe, commissioner of immigration, calls attention to the | fact that the motley array of foreign peasant costumes worn by immigrants as they step ashore from incoming steamers totally disappears within 24 hours of the time of landing. No immigrant who has been in America for more than a single day wears an alien style of clothes. What is this but an evidence of | the desire to become like others in | the adopted land? It is the first step in Americanization and a very | important one, for outward appear- ance has a profound effect upon the state of mind. But it is more im- it is a voluntary | step in the direction of complete adaptation. Old thoughts are cast and ushers in a general feeling of kin- ship with the new world. Clara Morris. (Baltimore Sun.) Gray-haired and middle-aged thea- | tergoers will learn with pleasure of the good fortune that has come to Frederick C. Harriott, whom they knew and admired years ago as She has just come into a legacy of some $2,000 a year under the will of her brother-in-law, ond her remaining years will be free from | the anxieties and pecuniary troubles | | which have been her lot ince she passed from the stage. Failing eye- sight, illness and misfortune have made her realize many of the woes and emotions which she depicted with such rare power in the theater, and those whom she delighted in the day of her health and youth will rejoice | that she has been rescued from fur- ther bitter experiences. Every generation of disposed to regard its as superior to those of the past, to consider the vaunted merits of the actors of a preceding era as exagger- ated by the prejudices and the fond- ness of those who recall them—as old wives’ tales and old men’s tales of things and people of long ago. The evanescent character of stage por- trayal and stage fame makes it im- possible to reinforce with evidence | the images which live only in the memory. But we think we could still call a host of witnesses to testify to the genius and singular dramatic playgoers is own favorites the great uplift is getting all of us, magnetism of Clara'Morris. Those “.who once witnessed her “New Mag- | winning their + was concluded, dalene,” for instance, carry with them forever the recollection of an impersonation which was the highest expression of art because it seemed to be no art at all, and which swept all the chords of human feeling without the help of ordinary stage trick or artmce, by its supreme simplicity and fidelity to nature, i Dramatic genius marked Clara Morris for its own, and said to her at | her wash tub—we believe she came cut of a wash tub, as Venus came out | of the sea—follow me. Beauty helped | | her not at all, for she was ill-favored, and even the press agent could not invent many of those fascinating | stories about her. A Genuine Diplomat, (New Haven Journal-Courier.) It appears that there was no reason for the fears that the younger Rockefeller would find the task of settling matters with the coal miners 0 much more of a severe task than | good will by social in- tercourse that he would probably fail. It is now stated that he has con- vinced the men of the sincerity of his views and their justice as they apply both to the employes of the com- pany and the owners. The younger Rockefeller's achieve- ment deserves to rank among diplo- matic achievements of the first or- der. Distrust of him was profound among the mine workers. It is| doubtfu]l if a man ever undertook a ! difficult task with such heavy odds against him. The Colorado war, as it was known, lashed men to fury and led to crimes of a fearful na- ture. The management of the coal properties had been subjected to a violent investigation at the hands of a federal commission of investigation headed by a man of violent preju- | dices. The Rockefellers were held up to public scorn and indignation. In other words, the road to a friendly consideration of terms of employvment and conditions of social life was strewn with suspicions, prejudices and hatreds over which he had to walk to reach the confidence of the men. Ignoring them, he appears to have footed it ahead, confldent of the justice of his cause and his ability to demonstrate it. It is not necessary to go into the details of the settlement beyond the fact that they are satisfactory to all concerned. Peace has settled over the mining properties in the state of Colorado as a result of the broad- mindedness, the liberality, the moral courage, the democracy, of this single | man. As we said when we received our first impression of the young man’'s visit to the mining camps, which was a pleasant one, there is nothing more important in safeguard- ing the relations of employer and em- ployed than the utilization of the human equation. It is capable of wonders. It is when the human equation is eliminated, and a substi- tute force introduced, that trouble comes. The younger Rockefeller has taught other trustees of great ac- cumulations a needed lesson. He has made good. Kansas' New Burden. (New York Sun.) Kansas, that once bled, groans now under a new burden. A dispatch from Topeka says that the banks of the state are ‘“actually overflowing with money.” William Allen White in the Emporia Gazette tells the sit- uation as a poet should: “It is.a great symphony of pros- perity that Old Lady Nature is direct- ing out on the Kansas farms.” Think back on the time when John Brown fought in hunger and poverty at Osawatomie, when William Alfred Peffer and Jerry Simpson smote the octopus of Wall street and all Kan- sas lay crushed and bleeding, pow- erless in the grasp of the money lords of the East. Now, Kansas banks bulge with coin, having reached, says the modest Topeka dis- patch, a point where they could re- ceive no more deposits “without vio- lating the law.” We read again while the Emporia poet rhapsodizes: “Out of the big moment comes the lowing of fattening cattle at feeding time. Then a yip-yip of horsemen, a great bellowing and patter of hoofs, as the fattened steers go over the hill to the railroad. The small noises again, and then without warning the deafening buzz and roar that comes when father shifts gears and throws the new Packford into low gear as he nears the farmyard gate, on his way home from the stockyards.” And was it to bear this burden that Kansas turned to raising corn from the joy of raising hades? More \llllionn(refl (Boston Post.) The tax comissioners’ figures assessment on personal property in the city of New York show a total approximating $4,000,000,000. This is in some sort a surprise, as the con- tributions last year from this source fell short of a billion. And when the “swearing off” process for 1914 the millionaires es- caped with payment of tax upon some $350,000,000—a very considerable re- duction from their assessed liabilities. | A substantial protest is made | against the enforcement of the esti- | mate of taxable personalty; this is | question for adjustment locally; but | in the fact that the number and the possessions of the millionaires have been so largely increased by official | tabulation, there is matter of wide | interest. It discloses a good many millionaires outside the accepted list. | According to the books, there are more than 500 persons in the city of New York each of whom owns per- sonal property—real estate not counted—to the value of $1,000,000 and over. Now it remains to be seen how much they will pay under tax assessment. Billions of unknown wealth have been discovered, it seems. Mileage And Machines. (Meriden Journal.) ) The New Haven Journal-Courier | seizes the opportunity to take a whack at the voting machines because the electorate of New Haven did not show enough enthusiasm over the legisla- tive mileage prapasition to record a | State of Virginia, where it most nat- | question of his | Mary | of vocational toplcs. heavy vote. The editor believes that there would have been more voting for individuals and less straight party voting if the old ballots had been used. Furthermore if the old ballot had been in vogue he thinks that more folks would have: registered their opinions on the mileage issue. It is all nonsense to claim that peo- ple are afraid to split their tickets on the voting machines for they do this at every election in every city. They used voting machines last fall in the state election and although it was a Republican year Sheriff Hugo was retained in office by a handsome majority. Did not that show that the New Haven voters could split their tickets. In Waterbury yesterday there was a Democratic sweep just as the Re- publicans swept New Haven and out of all the Republioan candidates for office in the Brass city only one was elected. Mayor Scully was re-elected by 2,159 votes and yet Robert Palmer was retained as town clerk by 1,180 votes. This would indicate that at least 1,600 Waterbury voters knew how to vote a split ticket on a vot- ing machine. It is safe to state that the electors | will learn how to vote as they please, or as they think they please, no mat- ter what the method employed of reg- | istering the vote. The machine is the best method of taking the ballot yet devised. There are no disfranchised voters, no disputes afterward and no recounts, The people of the state have not voted heavily on the mileage ques- tion because they were not sufficient- ly interested. That is the only reason why so small a vote was polled in Meriden, in New Haven and in Wa- terbury, The machines had very little if anything to do with it. Martha Washington’s Will. (Stamford Advocate.) The will of Martha Washington is going back to the custody of the urally belongs. It appears that dur- ing the Civil War some soldier took it from the Fairfax Court-house, and after many shifts and changes, it finally found its way into the library of the late J. Pierpont Morgan. When its whereabouts became known, Vir- ginia’s Governor or Legislature made a demand for it, and in such terms that Mr. Morgan decided to let the legal possession of the document go to the courts. Vir- ginia has a suit now pending in the Supreme Court of the United States— a suit which presumably will now be dropped, inasmuch as Mr. Morgan, jr., has had the will delivered into the hands of Justice Keith, president of the Virginia Court of Appeals, to be disposed of by that gentleman at : McMILLAN’S NEW BRITAIN'S BUSIEST BIG STORE “ALWAYS RELIABLE” Dress Up Day Saturday At the Busy Big Store FALL OPENING DISPLAY OF WEARING APPAREL.

WAR AND ITS EFFECT ON PUBLIC SCHOOLS Purchase of Maps Brings Up Sub- ject Before School Board The war in Europe was brought home yesterday at the meeting of the board of education when a lengthy discussion followed a proposal to buy sixty stamps at a cost of $8 each for the Grammar and Prevocational schools. L. Hoyt Pease, chairman of the committee on finance, reported a request for the maps the school authorities. Dr. J. E. Martin expressed the opinion that it might be advisable to wait until conditions in Europe be- | come more settled before political maps are bought. Dr. J, L. Kelly could not agree with him on this as he believed such a delay would be harmful because of the possibility that the war would last three years or more. The maps in the Gram- mar school are worn and it is neces- sary that they be replaced. Dr. Martin replied that even now the names of cities have been changed and boundary lines modified. Superintendent Holmes stated that only about sixteen maps desired are of a political nature. It was decided to authorize the committee on finance to purchase the maps and use their own discretion, from Educational Confercnce. Anna G.
