Likewise, it is for the interests of all families in the o attend to their wants before ferious situations, such as now laking place in the coal market, n. The prudent house-keepers ed their coal in early May, and it sent in installments of one or tons during the succeeding hs of June, July and August. , when the cold weather of Ooto- and November puts in an ap- pnce, becomes con- d, there is no fear among those made provision ahead of time. this early stage coal is reaching bnormal price of the year—a not known since the strike of There are many contributory bns why this is so, among them a shortage of labor at the s, lack of cars to haul away the a premature consumption of the e stock usually held over by the prs, and the great inroad made he domestic sizes by manufaoc- s working overtime. The fac- ls are feeling the pinch just as as the small buyer. If the big erng failed to put in an enormous ly of bituminous coal when it selling at less than five dollars they must now pay more than dollars for this same soft coal on cars at New Britain.

The true Progressives of the coun- try are not following their erstwhile leader back into the party they aban- doned with him-four years ago. They are not doing this because that party offers nothing new to them. It is the same old reactionary group, governed by the same crowd that the Colonel once condemned as porch-climbers, thieves, second storymen and bur- glars. They are all there. There is not one absentee. Everyone the list. There is no even the name of Boise Penrose. And the Colonel is back with them, eat- ing out of their hands. He has taken as his grievance against Woodrow Wilson and the present administra- tlon two issues,—Belgium and Mex- ico. ‘He decrys this government for falling to protest or even going to war over the invasion of Belgium. De- ploring the fact that Belgium was trod under foot by a great and mighty military power, the Colonel turns about face and demands that the United States intervene in Mexico, a poor, wretched country convalescent after a long drawn out series of rev- olutions. He condemns Wilson for not going to war with Germany over Belgium, and {n the same breath he demands that another Belgium be made of Mexico. Yes, Bainbridge Colby knows his Colonel. He knows him to be a false leader, showing the way up the blind alley of reactionary Republicanism. knows use repeating It is all right to refer to Homer S. Cummings as a passing chip on the tide of time, or, if recording his fight- ing abilities ,as a chip on the shoul- der of time; we are all chips that pass in the night, whether poker players or politiclans. But the Hartford Courant oversteps the boundary line of decent and fair journalism when it @escribes Mr. Cummings as ‘rude,” and draws a contrast between Cum- mings and McLean to show the latter as a gentleman and the former as a thug. The Ol Lady of State Street is calling for fairness and dealing in unfairness. Homer S. Cummings is | a gentleman, every inch of him, and ! be proved thls when he went over to Benator McLean and shook hands after the debate in Waterbury Thur day night. THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE. As election day approaches there is Leing manifest more’and more inter- est in the way certain states in the union are going to cast their electora votes. In 1912 Wilson recelved 43 votes in the electoral college; Taft and Roosevelt 88. This year, of course, even the wildest Wilson sup- porter does not expect his candidate to carry every state he won in 101 The various prognosticators have glven which states will go for Wils and which will cast their votes Hughes.
