P m—r——— REPUBLICAN CAUCUS Economy is a wonderful thiy axercise of economy rovereth a muiti- would wude of sh which otherwise be Kicked story ahout man lose a certain number which had been entrusted him, buried them in a napkin and hid them in the ground. The act did not meet with unqualified approval. A man or group of men may bury talents in the ground, may refuse to make the most of the things that have been entrusted to them and which they are supposed to use, but they argue that as long as they take no risks their cry of “we were economi- cal” will appeal to many. The slogan of “economy" does appeal to a certain class of people always. It takes no broad vision, no wisdom, no initiative economy. One of here is 4 much-read little fearing to talents a who, of to become expert in who carries it to the miserljness will never get and is fortunate if the habit does not drive him to weakness, illness and, at last such a state that no expenditure of money can save his life. New Brit- ain should not be crucified on the pretty cross of economy. Actually there was a serious discus- sion last night at the Republican cau- cus as to the advisability of doing away with the office, created by com- mon sense and incidentally by the charter of the office of assistant pros- ecuting attorney. It would be unfair to the *“small town" to characterize such discussion as “small town stuff.” The discussion disclosed absolute in- ability to grasp the situation of the prosecuting attorney or to realize in any way the responsibilities of the position. It tendency to measure the work of an officer upon whom rests the duty of bringing to justice the city's offenders by the amount of dirt he is able to shovel out of a ditch. The next step would be to place a time clock in the court and another in the prosecutor’s office and require him to punch it daily. It might be advisable, also, to have a “mentometer’ to register the amount of brain work done, and a pedometer to see how many steps the prosecutor takes. It was decided to nominate an as- sistant prosecuting attorney, however. It is well that Attorney David Nair, although new to the council, did not hesitate to speak forcibly on the need, and that others recognized his author- ity of knowledge. It good that Prosecuting Attorney Woods, nomin- ated for the office of prosecutor for another year, will at last have the as- sistance he needs as anyone would need it in a similar position. The recognition of Mr. Woods' services was due and is cause for congratula- tion. Homely honesty be great asset in the city this year—and the characterization does not refer to personal appearance.

USE OF TROLLEY TOKENS. Officials of the Connecticut com- pany are reported as saying that nine- ty per cent of the trolley patrons are using the three-for-a-quarter metal tokens. By so doing, of course,’ the people are saving five cents on every three rides they take. Nor is there any grumbling about the matter on the part of the people, as far as the tokens are concerned. The popular use of these tokens suggests first that the people will go to some trouble to make any saving on trolley fares, and secondly that the people are glad to co-operate with the trolley company, without fault finding, in making as convenient for the com- pany as possible this slight reduc- tion, In other words the meeting the company more than half way, which fact reminds of an address made not long ago by a man characterized by a leading traffic publication as “one of the best known traffic experts” This man declared before traffic men in convention Indianapolis that of all the assets of a transportation company-—and he in- cluded tangible assets—he considered the good will of the public the most valuable. He declared that a com- pany which did not possess that good will was doomed to gailure and that success was bound to come to a com- pany which gained that good will. The uncomplaining use of these tok- ens, convenient for the company, by the traveling public discloses not pres- ent good will but a disposition to ac- cept any action of the company, which relieves the trolley patron of some expense, in the right spirit. The people are waiting eagerly to see if the company will not take some ac- tion that will justify a giving of its to it. The public utilities commission it in its power give the company this great asset of public good will. people are in good will has to GERMANY little “«ouT” It makes difference whether of the Ge conference theoretically.

This is the first opportunity the public has been given to make an intimate examination of this. new six, which has been so keenly antici- pated and which sells for $1065, and to test its merits in actual demon- strations.

HOLLIS' DIVORGE CALLED TLLEGAL Bulgaria Announces That Decree Is Not Recognized Sofia, April 19. — (By Assoclated s)—The divorce issued to former S. Senator Henry F. Hollis of New Hampshire, by the pastor of the Unitarian church at Dubnitza is not officially recognized by the Bulgarian state and possesses no legal force the department of religion and education of the foreign office has advised the Bulgarian legation in Washington, The religious department denies having approved the divorce papers and the government is instituting pro- ceedings against Pastor Toplisky, who granted the divorce. Dr. Dobtshef, professor of canoni- cal law at Sofia university, declares the divorce invalid by virtue of the Bulgarian laws. He points out that Bulgarian religious authorities have not the power to annul a marriage concluded civilly either at home or abroad, and says that only the civil authority which executed such a mar- riage can annul it. The Bulgarian newspapers are printing long articles commenting up- on the strangeness of the case. Mr. Hollis is well known here as he had represented a large American corpo- ration endeavoring to sell the govern- ment excess American war stocks of freight cars. Hollis Is Silent Paris, April 19. — (By Associated Fress)—Former Senator Hollis, when informed of the Bulgarian govern- ment's action in declaring his recent divorece illegal, sald: “All T care to say now is that I act- ed upon what I considered sound le- gal advice. I am confident the di- vorce will stand.” He added that the divorce docu- ments had been authenticated by the Bulgarian minister in Rome. Ne Report Received Washington, April 19.—(By Asso- jated Press)—No detailed informa- 10n regarding the divorce proceed- ings of former Senator Hollis in Bul- garia has reached the Bulgarian lega- tion here hut legation officials are taking steps to inform themselves more fully on the subject.
