By the time a couple of rounds of collars have passed glass case, and the proprictor has rung up several sales on the cash register some husky youth with a full fledged pair of hazel eyes says, “Well, boys. don’t you think we've had enough?” and if no one insists that another round of cuff-buttons should take place, each man takes up his little bundle and trudges his way home to wife or mother. It is a great idea, and should be worked out in every city in the United States. It has its many pleasant features, for although a man comes home with a package, it is not the proverbial bacchanalian bundle and does not mean a head tied up with an ice-bag. The morn- ing after a treat like this is not laden with all the sorrows of the universe. The only trouble is that the habit might grow to the clothing store where men will treat each other to overcoats and full dress suits,—such a useless expenditure of money to those who are already equipped for the season. a tie-clasp in over the When time hangs heavy on the hands of our philosophers and pro- phets they hie themselves to the public mart and make predictions anent what is going to happen after the European war is brought to & close. For the most part these students of human nature, economics, and stock quotations, in particular, are of the opinion that a tariff war will be declared just as soon as the present colossal struggle is ended. The United States will be fighting in the tariff war to protest its infant in- dustries, such as the dye-stuffs, countries of Kurope will be battle to regain their markets. Discriminating duties wili be set up by the varfous nations which in turn will lead to hard fecl- ings and the first thing we know the war will be fought all over again. These are the prophesies. that, and nothing more. tho waging lost foreign Merely To those who doubt the accuracy of press reports we call attention to the following paragraph under a Bos- ton date line of November 24: “The official canvass of the vote cast at the Massachusetts state election on November 2, an- nounced today, shows that Sam- uel W. McCall, the republican candi- date for governor, defeated David I. Walsh, the democrat incumbent, by a plurality of 6,376. Unofficial press returns on the night of the elections gave McCall a plurality of 6,363." Thirteen votes out of the way, not enough to effect a change in tho | land he might have so beguiled AND FANCIES, Bonar Law declares that Great Hritain must risk bankruptey, but that is the way some people seem to make a success of business.—Norwich Bulletin. Had Edward VII, been king of Eng- the Kaiser at a series of pleasant little parties, that there would have been no war.—Louisville Courier-Journal. Women of the world promise to take the place of men, and more so in European countries than ever, from the fact that 25,000 French women are now employed on the railroads of that country doing work formerly Press. In our position of watching from a distance and listening to the con- fusion of voices, it seems as though somebody in thig great conflict were getting weary, if not worn out, and anxious for some way out without humiliation.—New York Journal of Commerce. A hyphenated American whose pass- port has been confiscated by the American embassy at Berlin, in ac- cordance with state department in- structions, because he made deroga- tory remarks about President Wilson and the United States government, will have to sérve in the German army, it is said. This American con- tribution to Germany’s military re- sources will not, however, be regarded as a breach of neutrality.—Springfield Republican. Honoring the Bell. (Waterbury Democrat.) Forty thousand people waited at the railroad station at Houston, Texas, until 2 o’clock in the morning, on a chilly night, to see the Liberty bell enroute from San Francisco bac to Philadelphia. The train was late, and most of them went home then. But 2,000 school children remained, shivering in the cold, until the train pulled in at 3:30 a. m., and climbed aboard the car to touch and kiss the sacred emblem of American freedom. A Liberty bell, like a phrophet, has to leave home to gain honor. Most of the citizens of Philadelphia have never seen the bell, but most of the citizens of Houston are glad of a chance to stand in the cold nearly all night to see it: The bell has had much tae same experience cverywhere through the west. At nearly every city and town golng and coming, crowds have assembled to pay it honor. It was the first time the bell was ever taken west of the Mississippi river. After such an enthusiastic and continuous wel- come, it should not be the last. It is much for the great, new, pioncer sec- tions of the country to see a relic the reminds them not only of the cast from whaich they all came, more or less remotely, but of their country's early history of which the west has so few visible evidences. Chiefly About War. Abraham Lincoln, by Rose Strunsky. ‘A life interpreting Lincoln from election of governor. The press re- port was compiled within eight hours, whereas the official canvass was put together and counted between November 2 and Thanksgiving Day. a little matter of twenty-one days or three weeks which makes some dit- ference in time. Connecticut Shipbuilding, (New Haven Register.) It may mean little that the re- ‘nabilitated Charles W. Morse is after shipyards to the east of New London, but it also may mean much. Not many years ago that was a busy shipbuild- | ing district, but of late the building of sailing vessels for the coasting trade has suffered a sympathetic slump with the building of American vessels for foreign trade. If the Morse interests are after the yards, a change must be imminent. Regardless of Morse, the change in sight. The Panama canal ‘nas helped. The war has helped. Some of our coasters are coining money in the South American trade. It will not be long before the general knowl- edge of possibilities in that direction causes a boom in such shipbuilding as they can do in Connecticut yards. All along our coast from Darien to Ston- ington there are facilities for ship- building. Some of the yards have water depth for launching vessels of the largest size. Shipbuilding, once an important Connecticut industry, ought to come back with a boom exceeding anything it ever knew before. is The Public Ledger has always held that this country is in no serious dan- | ger of being drawn into the baleful | stream of armament competition, for the best of all reasons, namely, that' { the people will not submit to the tax burdens which such a program would entail. So long, however, as the people are willing to tax themselves znnually for a larger army and for more ships, their eves are wide open the path they are following: but the moment such outlays are made with borrowed money, the burden is shifted and the peril may become a real one. Therefore, while for the rioment we are arming against no known foe or prospective foe, but 1it- erally solely for defense, should we go farther than is needful in that rerilous path we shall incur the risk of arousing suspicions as to our in- tentions. Such a policy would give our prey alarmists, and might defeat the whole immediate purposé of those who are laboring disinterestedly for the na- tional security.—Philadelphia Public Ledger. to redness a direction to justify | a new standpoint, the economic.
