This is a surprising statement which Judge Mathewson makes, and the sen timents of the New Haven Palladium will find endorsement everywhere when it says: “If we have not in| Connecticut seating capacity in our | echools sufficlent to care for those who might become 1dlo through the pas- | sage of the proposed law to prevent | child labor under sixtfen years of age, it would appear time for Govern- or Lilley, or th ARMTNEY 0 act at once and n- y thorough vestigation of the school systems in the various townships.

The one place in which genius is supposed to loom up is in the field of invention, a'fleld in which Connecticut | figures large, but the records of the | patent office show that the inventor who gets wealthy as the result of his genfus s the exception rather than the rule. Tt is @ fact that the inven- tor eontributes often to the enrich- ment of others—that he reallzes least from his geniud because of his lack of business skill®of the sharpness which would be a protection to among the men who unmake while they make money. The statement is mado by practical | men that anyone Who has anything of worth can find a market for it. This may be true, yet one occasionally “hears of cases where a device of great | value has been found to be among the Tecords of the patent office of a score or two of years ago. The Inventor may have galned a hearing at a late day, but the chances are neither he nor his heirs have profited a penny, The inventor has been ahead of his da Another set of inventors has an un- fortunate knack for hitting on the i practicable and impossbile for study. The block signal and contro] board interested 1n the introduction of safety devices for the rallroads, reports that it has examined 371 designs in the last year, out of which it has found only twelVe that doserved further inquiry. | To the board were submitted plans for block signals which had either proved useless in the past or the sug- gestion for which had been made years before and had failed to present points of merit, The inventor who lacks practicality does not lack persistence, which is shown by the large number of patents constantly issued for inventions of little worth; and it is to the persist- ence of the inventor—to his faith in his power to produce something of value.to mankind, that we owe many of the most important inventions that have been made. The ballplayers are not disposed to let the politiclans have all the in- cpeases in salary, They are demand- ing a raise in all parts of the country.

The American fleet made its start FEBRUARY, 12 A LEGAL HOLIDAY. Connecticut is the only New Emg- land state that has made February 12, the anniversary of Lincoln's birth, a holiday, and was one of the first states of the union to do this. Referring to the history of the day in our annals, the Hartford Times says: 4 “The legislature of 1895 passed a law making October 15 Lincoln day. That date didn't represent anything in Lincoln's life, but it was: argued that 2 holiday was needed about the mid- dle of October and that to have Lin- coln day on February 12 would in- volve encroachment on the reservation of Washington's birthday on February 22. A trlal of two vears showed ‘that the effort to have Lincoln’s birth cel- cbrated on an arbitrary and artificial date like October 15 was a failure. The holiday was ignored. It amounted to nothing. It was a farce. “Profiting by the Iogic of experience the legislature of 1897 shifted the date of Lincoln day to February 12, where it originally belonged, Since 1897 Lin- coln’s birthday has been & recognized legal holiday in Connecticut. February 12 is now a legal holiday, also, in Col- orado, Dela Tllinots, Kansas Minnesota, w Jersey, New York, North Pennsy \'flnla,l are, Cevade, N Daxota, Washington and.

At the corner he met Sid Cure. Have you seen a wooden-legged man g0 by here? he asked. ‘No," replied Cure, “I have not.” Well, he can't be far from here, and see him send him up to my if office.” “All right,” said Cure, “I'll do so.” Next, the judge met Ed Greer, to whom he put the same question, and received the same replies. ‘Well, if vou see him, tell him I want to see him right away in my office,” said the judge, and hastened on, S0 round and round he went, look- ing in drug stores, barbershops, hotels and everywhere that his client might have gone, but he could find neither hide nor hair of him. At every stop he left the request for the man to be sent to his office If anybody should Tun across him. Finally, after a half-hour search, he gave it up and returning to his office he found five ywooden-legged men waiting for him, all much interested to know what was wanted.
