The message of Governor Lilley, printed elsewhers, reads progress in every line. The message is good reading, and it is worth the while of all intelligent citizens to read it carefully. It favors the abolishment of things umnecessary, the making methodical of irregular methods, the investment of the school fund in state property am & means of advancing state inter- asts, the abolishment of useless offices and the repeal of obsolete and worth- less laws which today work injustice. It iy the message of & business man ¢6 a live and progressive constituency, and it neglects no interest from that of the man who toils to that of the man who governs, The governor says: “Wae should put forth our greatest efforts to conduot public affalrs with the strictest economy. “The finances of Connecticut should be given the game devotion we give to our private business. “As the trustees of the people’s money it is our duty to decrease our expenses Or increase our receipts. “It would seem businessiike to have a disbursing officer to look after all state expenditures, preferably the state treasurer. “The po!l and military laws should be #o amended that assessment and coflection shall be on the same basis all over the state. “The office of school fund commis- aioner should be done away with, the stats treasurer to do the business. “A uniform system of municipal ac- counting adapted to large and small towns and other municipalities is rec- ommended, “The passage of a public utilitles law which shall .compel a striet ob- rervance of the terms of every trust. “The abolition of the so-called ‘fel- low-mervant rule’ which works injus- tlee toward injured workmen.” There {8 much more of interest which shows the broad conception the governor has of the needs of the state, and how deeply he feels the inequal- ity of the law which he would have bear equally upon all elasses. Tt is many years since a message of equai breadth and dearing has been put before the people; and let us hope that most of thess desires of the gov- ernor in the interests of 'the people will be put into effective enactments. Jan, 7, 1809 THE GOOD ROADS WORK. Governor IAlley does net sympa- thize with the opposition and counter criticlsm which has manifested itself in different parts of the state against Highway Commissioner Macdonald. He says: “There appears to be a popular im- pression that the work of this de- « partment has not been prosecuted with vigor. How mistaken this is is appar- ent from the fact that during the past year ninety-five contracts have been awarded, entaillng an obligation on the part of the state of about $800,000, and representing about 109 miles of road. In addition to this there has rested upon the highway commission- er the burden of systematizing the re- pairs of over 600 miles of road and the apportionment of a very limited sum of money for these repairs—a sum totally /nadequate for the work, “Notwithstanding the inadequacy of the appropriation, however, over 20,- 000 tons of stone and several thousand cubic yards of gravel were sent out and over 200 miles of road were turn- piked and shaped up. “I am convinced from an examina- tion of the conditions of this depart- ment that the present commissioner is very much handicapped by the small- ness of the appropriation given him for administrative work, and that he i® thereby compelled to take upon his own shoulders much labor that under more libera] conditions he counld depu- tige to others, “For example, the expense of ad- ministration of this department in Connecticut has been about 4 1-2 per cent., while in Massachusetts it has been 14 1-2 per cent. Under the pres- ent law the commissioner has the power to appoint deputfes englneers and inspectors, but the appropriation will not allow him to do so to a very great extent. “The commissioner should have money enough to pay for a first-class engineer in his office so that he may be relleved of a large part of the detail work, and county engineers who can surround themselves with assist- ants and do the work in their re- spective countles. He should be giv- en the power and responsibility of selecting these assistants and should receive your earnest support in keep- ing this great public enterprise abso- lutely Dheyond reach as a means of party spolls. Untrained deputies would only hamper the work and would de- feat any effort to prosecute it along economical and gelentific lines. “Having embarked upon an exten- slve scheme of highway work, the state cannot now afford to delay 1t by false economy, and it should be one of vour first duties to give attention to this department.” This is well put; and 1t iz true. Commissioner Macdonald’s thirteen vears of efficient service deserves ap- preciative recognition, and the extent and character of the work gives evi- dence that his hands should be loos- ened and that he should be given in- | creased scope and power, When you read the president's mes- eage upon the conduct of the ecom- mittee on secret service did it not re- mind you of the Boutell committee? | These Cannon committees are equal to the work they are appointed for. Governor Woodruff's farewell mes- sage pointed out a way of increas- ing the state's revenues and was ex- ceedingly practical, From this small beginning may something of fmport- ance grow, The first act of the Connecticut leg- islature was a bumane act—$5,000 vot- ed for Italy’s relief. May such a good beginning not be followed by a bad ending. The prevaricators have bagun again upon the governor of Connecticut, If they do not succeed any better in the futures than they have in the past ®Bazernor Lilley has nothing to fear, ‘| familiar with gee are bringing some specious ar- guments against him in behalf of Con- gressman Hill. This is what.a Hil partisan has to say in the New Ha- ven Register: “The tone of self-sufficiency so ev- ident in some of the newspaper arti- cles which have been written in favor of Senator Brandegee’s return to the United States senate serves to bring foreibly to the attention of anyone New London, Brande- gee’'s home town, one of the chief characteristics of the city, a ¢harac- teristic which is at the same time the city's greatest hindrance to growth and development as a place of im- portance in Connecticut. “Compare, for example, the city of New London with the city of Water- bury. The two places not many years ago were just about equal in popula- tion, whereas now New London has only 18,000 inhabitants, and Water- bury nearly 70,000, or Waterbury is a city nearly four times as large as New London, and this notwithstanding the fact that New London Is located by the seaside and has one of the best harbors in New England. As for rallroad facilities it 1s not only a june- tion point of three divisions of the N. Y., N. H, & H. railroad, but also the southern terminus of the Central Vermont. It has daily boat service to New York, and yet with all these great rallroad and shipping facilities in the last 50 years it has made com- paratively little advancement. - . . . - B “It is entirely natural that a man should be influenced by the prevailing spirit of his home community. If that spirit is one df enterprise and progress then we look for enterprise in the leading men. If otherwise, then we must expect to find a lack of en- ergy in the community’s leading citi- zen. Frank Brandegee is one of New London’s leading citizens and he fully indexes the New London spirit. “His career in the United States senate has been conspicuous for its lack of effort. He has seemed to think himself on a bed of roses and has conducted himself as if the job were his and no other man In Connecticut had a right to aspire to the position. He has been an obstructionist rather than a constructionist. He has been Brandegee of New London, not Bran- degee of Connecticut.” It is a desperate case which calls forth such rot as this. The New Lon- don spirit, as Norwich knows it for the last two decades, is worthy of a live town. Why New London doesn't equal Waterbury is a conundrum not easily answered even by Waterbury. Senator Brandegee does take pride in New London and all of eastern Con- necticut takes pride in him because of his public attainments and because of the benefactions which he has be- stowed upon his native city. What a gross and indecent slander this is, of a man of exceptional en- terprise and generosity! Senator Brandegee was highly es- teemed by Fessenden and Platt and other leaders of his party, and he has the commendation of ten of the ablest men in the United States senate as the result of a half-term of service, and these small men of Connecticut rise up to print in support of Hill such drivel as this, This kind of campaigning should tell more in favor of Senator Brandegee than against him. STATE CHARITIES. The summary of the biennial port of the Connecticut state of charities ought to" prove of much interest to the taxpayers. For, for one thing, it gives an idea of how a large sum of money is expended each year to maintain the state institutions with which the board has to deal. We agree with the board in its recommendation that the state should be liveral in its treatment of the School for Boys here so that no ques- re- tion of revenue should be allowed to restrict in any way their fullest men- tal, physical and industrial develop- | ment. We of Merlden agre in a good ! position to know of the work being done by the state school under the present very capable management, and it meets with general approval. In no other state institutions of which we have personal knowledge i{s the state’s | money expended to hetter advantage. And the hest of it is that the state in time will get a full return for all its is sure to result from proper treat- There should he no impairment of the usefulness of a state school of this kind as a means of saving money: saving money at the expense of future manhood is nothing if it isn't con- temptible,. We should not only t but to secure to the path of rectitude all their progeny through the lasting principles instilled inte their minds. EDITORIAL NOTES. Happy thought for today: A lie well stuck to still seems to be better than the truth wavering, The men who are now looking over their political promises find that they are less interesting than a plle of souvenir cards. Brace up, there! Do not let those good resolutions sag in the middle soou. Draw taut and remember that you are a man.

As we 00k over the affalrs of life we find that peace is one of the brit- tlest of things. Itappearstohave no tensile strength, whatever. Although Connecticut appears desir- ous of getting rid of her state police, New York realizes the necessity establishing such a force.

Tepid water is better for both face and hands at this season. - One of the best liniments for man or ] t, it is claimed, is composed of eq parts of laudanum, alcohol and oil wormwood. For the baggy appearance under the eyes, rub gently with the tips of the fingers dipped in alcohol. After- ward massage in the same way with cold cream. . Dusty hair is unhealthy. Dust ac- cumulates as much by reason of soil- ed and uncared-for brushes as in any other way, therefore, “a word to the wise is sufficient.” Hot water, if taken a cupful on ris- ing and another when going to bed, will help to reduce the weight of a stout person. Cold water, unless taken with meals, will not increase ilesh, but has ;fl‘endmcy to harden | and make it fil In tying a bandage on the head, do not make the objectionable knot at the back of the head. Have the cloth ‘ong enough to cross In the back and fasten at each side with diminutive safety pins, less than one inch long. This makes a com'forta‘ble ‘bandage. Jf the heart is weak but otherwise nurmal it can often be strengthened by ac*tive leg movements, such gps running on tiptoe, circular motion, | flexing the foot and knees and run- ning. This last should be begun slowly and not continued too long at first. BRIDESMAIDS’ GOWNS. At the new weddings the directorie styles have come in strongly for maids and matrons of honor, as wéll as the other bridesmaids. The effect is _artistic and attractive. The gowns are made in gray and pink, in two tones of old blue, in yel- low and white, and also in two tonss of dull green. ‘The gkirts are of satin messaline or panne velvet in the new soft weave. These are unlined, have deep hems, and trail on the floor for a few inches. They run up above the waist and are finished with trappings of embroidery and filet tulle. Over this one-piece frock goes a long directorie coat of brocaded satin, chiffon cloth or embroidered filet net. Sometimes the combination is revers- ed and the skirt is of lined chiffon, with a long coat of panne velvet-or satin, The coat does not fasten, but this does not mean that the large orma- mental button is omitted. Tt is usuval- 1y made of crystals, imitation jade set in silver, and lessér opals mounted in platinum or gold. The sleeves are long and tight, fin- ished with ruffles at the wrist. As a rule the mald of honor carries the directorie staff with an immense bunch of flowers tied at the top. If preferred, each of the bridesmalds can carry a similar one. These staffs ad4 quite a note of distiretion to the bridal party as it marches down the aisle. Low Gown Brightens Eyes. Nothing makes the eyes shine more quickly than a loose neckband, That is the reason why so many women look prettier in a low throat- ed gown. It is because the dull expression disappears from the eves as soon as the strain upon the throat has been removed. Plaited Skirts. Stitch the wvlaits of your walking skirt to the lower edge of your short coat but no further; the effect is much better. To Wear with Voiles. For wear with silk volles, or other sheer dresses, the shaded underskirt or petticoat is to be used. The color selected <hades from dark top, or waist line. These are principally worn with evening gowns. Crow Toe Stockings. Silk clocks on stockings heavy crow toes. The latter are often put at the ankle as well as above it. They are also used on coats instead of buttons. There is a revival of this old-fash- ioned design in embroidery. end in Buttons are Important. The huttons form a considerable part of the expense of a fur coat this season——in many instances. The wom- an who is not limited in her outlay gives as much or more attention to the making of the buttons for her coat as she does to the coat: itself, choosing for them real gems. Rosettes on Coats. As fashionable as big, black. =oft satin buttons are, some of the smart- est coats show rosettes instead. These are placed at regular Intervals and are made of panne velvet or Tuck Children’s Sleeves. Tn making the children's clothes, make the sleeves two Inches longer than necessary, then take a crescent- s«haped tuck under the arm an inch down from the armhole. Tt never shows and 1s fine for baby's walsts and baby’s dresses. Black fer Evening. Black touched with gold, whether in Length of Skirt.

J n&dmto small squares or oblong strips &nt them neatly into a wooden box with a hooked lid that need not be lifted off each time. These rags may be used to wipe off greasy dishes before putting them in the dishpan, to polish fruit, to rub the rough dirt from vegetables so it does not clog the in of the sink, or to grease the griddle. Later the pieces can be thrown in the fire and help to keep the blaze stirred up. Use Oil on Skin. The society belle learns early the value of oil. She uses the ofl of cocoanuts upon her body to keep her skin fine. She applies almond ofl to her arms and hands. Her face is bathed in the oily part of the freshest of cream, and theres are many sweet oils called into use in making up her toilet from day to As Un up day. ’ly‘he belle believes in the value of massage, and her lotions are the bevt of skin restoratives. Princess Apron is Vogue. Black velvet ribbon ties and little bows on the pockets provide an ef- fective touch on some of the pretty tea aprons of the season. The princess apron holds is own, and is one of the neatest of the styles. Silk and Satin Ruches. Accordion plaited ruches of silk or satin are used for trimmings on little folks’ hats. Rice Keeps Salt Dry. To prevent salt in saltcellars from becoming damp and lumpy, when fill- ing' them put in ten or twelve grains of rice. This will not come through the holes in the covers of the saltcellars, but will break the lumps of salt and gather the moisture; thus the salt is always dry and fine. Toast Beef Over Coals. 1f peef, from which the juice is to be extracted, is put on the toaster and held over the coals until it is just browned on the outside, a much larger quanity of juice will be obtained. A lemon squeezer can be used quite as effectually as the regular meat press. To Clean Light Dresses. Spots In light dresses may general- lv be removed by laying on them a paste made of fuller's earth and eau de cologne. Let it dry and then brush it off. A second application may be neces- sary. Clean New Toothbrush. Before using a new toothbrush it should be cleaned well with soap and water and permitted to stand for at least an hour in a soluiton of boric acid !t\ll a food plan te rinse the mouth once a day with diluted listerine, which will keep the breath sweet and nice. Tooth powders that contain a great desl of soap cause the teeth to become yellow. HOUSEHOLD NOTES.

A Nickel plating may be cleaned with water and whiting or with water and alcohol as easily as silver. Where there is a large amount of nickel to be cleaned gasoline will do the work well and quickly, but of course extra pre- cautions must be taken. Indelible ink stains may be removed by wetting the stains with a fresh so- lution of chloride of lime. In a quar- ter of an hour dip the part in strong ammonia and presently wash out. The stains can also be dipped In hyposui- phate of soda instead of ammonia. New ldea in Pails.
