Mayor Lippitt starts off for his sec- ond year's service with every mem- ber of the city.government true to his standard and with no chance for a division of responsibility if errors are made. The people.are expeoting good government, and while good promises are always pleasing they are conscious of the fact that good results are bet- ter. Teking up an exchange from a dis- jant city, wp fimd the editor complain- Jog of the tnefficiency of the city gov- srament, and saying: “This town has had plenty of official ic. Falr-words are pretty things. ‘e sdl.like them. There s a certain pmount of satisfaction in a rounded, pounding promise. But a town can't on promises, rhetoric wen't help l:lnlflld bridges or cold factory ghimneys, and fair words don't pave broken stweets. A city administration that winds dtself about with filmy the. ories and spends its office hours in dreaming dreams can't do very much for the pegple who work and live in the town it rules.” How true this is; and, yet, it ts'a deelaration of truth which would fit any American city occasionally. The memory of Norwjch voters is good enough tosrecall when such-a preach- ment would have just filled the bill It does not fit Norwich now, and it 1s not likely to under the present man- agement, The promises and the re- sults must be in accord and then the approval and support of the people will be assured. THE RIGHTS OF SUSPECTS. The cases of two women arrested in Brooklyn on suspicion of shop-iift- ing and who were subjected to meas- urement and photographing for the rogues’ gallery before they had been tried, has very properly given rise to the question whether such conduct is not an invasion of the rights of the arrested parties—an unlawful proceed- ing from start to finish. Until a prisoner has been found gullty he must be considered inno- cent and should net be subjected to indignities in the name of the law which of themselves are no less than criminal. Judge Gayner of New York has re- cently centered public attention upon these facts in the Duffy boy case, which is being discussed all over the country and will, let us hope, end an abuse that has cruelly wronged more than one innocent man. At its re- cent session the New York legisla- ture measurably curbed the abuse by enacting that the portrait of a man who is acquitted shall be removed from the rogues’ gallery, But why should the portrait of such a one have appearance there at all? By what right do the police measure and photograph persons who are only ac- cused of crime? And what just end is served in so doing? These ques- tlons carry with them their own an- swers. It may be necessary in some cases to get photographs of prisoners to send to other police centers for identifica- tion, if possible, but if no crimnal rec- ord is established against them, the plctures should not be put in the rogues’ gallery. This would be just to these prisoners and there can be no good reason for doing otherwise, WITH REFERENCE TO BARBERS. The Hartford Courant says that one of the state house jokes for some years has been the barbers’ commission. There have been other authorized bod. fes that did a heap less, but this one had the knocks—possibly, in part, at least, because 80 many barbers have by personal canvass sought the job. As only three get it, a lot get dis- appointed instead. It has been pro- posed this year to abolish the board directly, and again to abolish it in- directly by cutting off the annual fees pald by the licensed barbers; and the subject has its final hearing this weelk. This sanitary provision for the ex- amination and regulation of the bar- bers’ shops of the state has, as The Courant ebserves, improved the con- ditios of barbers’ shops in all parts of the state, and has not cost the state treasury a penny. There is nothing to be said in condemnation of the commission which can be effective. It was needed when created and it has done oveditable work, and so far as known has been nen-political and in the interests of’the people. The cit- izens who shave in the barbers’' shops of Connecticut feel more content with old go-as-you-please shop ago. What can be said legal requirement which calls ~shops shaves! PUTTING TAX UPON WEALTH. There is no disguising the fact that President Taft believes that the wealth of the nation caf stand a larg- er ‘share of the taxes without being discomfitted or oppressed. He stands for a graduated income tax and that it may be constitutional he proposes an amendment of the con- stitution so that it will accord with such a law, and in this he is reasonably sure of receiving the support of the people when the matter is sumbitted to them, He also recommends a tax of 2 per cent. uypon the met incomes of cor- porations, advising certain exemptions which seem to be wise and just. The Courant feels sure that ‘“one advan- tage of such a tax would be a hand- some revenue, and incidentally there would be further advantages, he wisely points out, that the result would be to et in more light on cor- poration finances, which is in accord- ance with the popular sentiment, and which, it may he added, strengthens them instead of weakening them.” President Taft stands pat for fair play. He would equalize these tax burdens so that the masses will not have to bear more than their pro- portional part of them. ¥ OUR RIVERS NOT INVITING. The catch of shad this year in Con- necticut waters has been a little less than that of a year ago and, there is no sign that the stocking of Connecti- cut waters is helping the matter at all. The fact is that shad, young or old, cahnot be made to seek and re- turn to polluted waters, and as all our streams are becoming less. pure every year, the return of the shad is inevitably smaller. A shad is a dis- criminating fish, and while it may dodge nets and traps and pounds and other contrivances set to catch it, it knows when the water into which it swime is pure or polluted, amd it does mnot return to poisoned water after it has once had experience of it. —Bridgeport Standard. clean and . wholesome, antiseptic The .shad reéturn to the rivers to spawn, and the condition of the water is fatal to the fry, and as the young shad are th® ones which return to the fresh-water breeding grounds, the number must diminish as the years roll round. There has been a slight increase in the catch shown some vears in consequence of stocking the | rivers, but polluted water is not in- viting to the fish and results in the depletion of the.fish. There are, no doubt, running in the Shetucket and Thames rivers a few shad every year, but they have not been seen in pay- ing quantities for about a quarter of a century, and are never likely to be agaln. Factory dyes and sewer pois sons are not calculated to make shad- breeding grounds of any use. EDITORIAL NOTES. The wireless is a joy-rider of the seas that great ships in distress are glad to meet. The New York man who won a bet by chewing up and swallowing a beer glass lost his life. Germany makes the man who, doés not report to his family once 1h ten vears legally dead. The Sugar trust is so sweet that it appears to be able to'win its way in spite of all opposition Happy thought for today: The fool of yesterday is now and then discov- ered to be the genius of tomorrow. The aeroplanist who can fall half a mile and not get seriously injured shows that he was destined for a sky- pilot. The political machines that run over the people do not create the stir an automobile does, but they often do more lasting damage. When the Norwich banner is flying which marks the place where the fire- works are to be, the day of jubilee will seem to be pretty near. The old swimming hole usually comes Into use in June; but it is not spoken of as one of June's treasures; but the boys think that it is. Mrs. Gould should have realized that there is nothing that cannot be said of a woman in court if it has the shadow of truth fn it. Steel trust for wire amounts to an output of 9,000 tons a day for the year. Gen. Pros- perity must be scouting about there. The call upon the Senator Aldrich appears to know his political combination as well as a la- bor leaders knows his; and he finds @ great use of language unnecessary. The mystery of 1908 has disap- peared and Colonel Bryan is trying to solve the political mystery that makes a protectionist of a free-trade demo- crat. . It was a wise man who discovered that “if you want to make life one sweet song you must have some one capable of playing the accompani- ment.” The dog that is all noise, under the improved dog-law in this state can be taken out by the dog warden on com- plaint, ard shot, regardless of the li- cense tag. The great circus booked for MNor- wich ie confusing Norwich boys who are unable to hold the purse tight for anniversary use under such trying circumstances. The woman who has to worry through life with her family on $15 a week, does not see why Mrs. How- ard Gould should have had such a fierce time on $300 a day. The state - board of equalization finds that the current expenses for Norwich per capita is $17.07, and of New London $31.90. There's a differ- ence there, fellow-citizens. In the Citizens' cemetery of Gettys- trrg is a marble figure of a beautiful weman wearing a loose robe, which was erected several years ago by the Woman's Relief corps of the depart- ment of Towa as a memorial to Miss Jennie Wade. She was killed on the n.orning of July 3, 1863, while baking Fread for the Union soldiers in-a little Lrick house on Baltimore street, near the battlefield. She was the only citi- zen of Gettysburg who was killed dur- ing the battle. The house, which is a small one story structure of brick, with an attic, is now used as a museum for rclics of the Gettysburg battlefield, and shows hundreds of scars from bullets and shell—Buffalo Commercial Bronson had nographer.

There was Something about this young person that made Bronson think he wasn’t going to employ her before she had said a dozen words, Still, Bronson went ahead with the ar- rangements. “1 see your typewriter Is different from the one I've been using,” she re- marked. “Don’t you care for this make?” “I should say not,” waliled the appli- cant. “They had one over at the business college Iike that, but they could never get me to use it. I just hated it.” “Oh, well,” sgid Bronson, “I never liked the sound of it much, anyway. 1 tell you what we'll do—we'll just shift that one over into the corner yonder out of the way and then we'll get a new one.” “Now, what about the hours? What time would you want me to come down in the morning?” inquired the young thing. “Oh,” sal4 ®wonson, “what - time could you com® down without incon- venience ?” “Well,” she began, “you see, I live out some distance on a suburban line. Now, if 1 were to catch the 7 o'clock train that would get me here soon aft- er 8 o'clock, but if I catch that train I should have to ge up soon after 6, so I suppose I'd better just take the next train. Then I could get here a little after 9.” A “Sure,” agreed Bronson. t's a cinch you don't want to be, piling out of bed at any 6 a. m. These nice spring mornings are just the time when a person likes to sleep. And, by the first WHAT THE PAPERS SAY. The Debate on Tobacco. In the debate on tobaceo in the sen- 2te the language of the paragraph re- lating to the free admission of free ~oduets of the Philipines was chang- &l “to make clear that all manufac- tured articles imported into the Unitud States from the Philippines should be composed partly or wholly of products of the island or of the United States. The change was made upon suggestion of Senators Bulkeley and Brandegee and was intended to permit Connecti- cut cigar wrappers to be taken to $he 1slands and then reimported into the United States as a part of a cigar free The terror inspired by the probability of Philippine competition fas not so incapacitated our shrewd Yenkee tobacco growers that they can nut make a neat little turn in the in- | tcrests of their own tobacco when the opportunty presents itself. They tave = considerable presence of mind stili left.—Bridgeport Standard. A Matter of Political De: Senator Bulkeley’s picture of blunt- ress found expression in his explana- tion of how the tariff is made up. If Connecticut wants votes for the pro- tection of its products it must protect the products of other sectlons to some extent, regardless of their deserts. It must vote for high duties on cottons ¢ please Massachusetts, and for a tax cn hides to please parts of the svest— of neither of which by itself does it approve—in order to get support from Massachusetts and the west for 'ts lebacco and its metal products. The result is, of course, that a lot of stuff gets protection that doesn’t deserve it or need it—and the consumer,for wham no member of congress works or plots, pays the bill.—Waterbury American. Crazy Ideas Become Wisdom. Miss Katherine Wright is enjoyving the family fame as much as any one. *1 was known so long as that ‘poor girl witn twp crazy brothers,’ " she] s, that now she bhas a right to exult when their “crazy” ideas have become the wisdom of the world. Clean City Day. xecutive proclamation, June 28 nated as Clean City Day for the city of Pittsburg and our house- holders are exhorted to observe the oc- cusion hy getting rid of all forms of djrt and rubbish, indoors and out, and ty putting their premises otherwise in perfect sanitary condition. The object held in view is a dual one, being pri- marily to promote public health and seconda to improve the general as- rect of the city, Other cities have tried the same expedient with excel- ient results. The appeal to individual pride and self-respect is one that. is rct to be resisted. Even where there: is @ chronic disposition to meglect ap- pearances, a direct invitation to clean s home, and once the good under way: practically every- body is sure to take a hand amd to contribute to the sum of improvement. Whatever is done to fulfil the purposes of Clean City Day will be purely vol urtary, and this insures that the mease- use of good will be the greatest pos- sible. -An ounce of voluntary good in- tention in relation to civie duty is ycorth a pound of enforced obedience to - laws and ordinances.—Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph.
