It is not surprisiug that such mess- ures have a large and enthusiastic backing, but the backers are unin- formed in the intricacies of trade and wholly unaware of the hardships to manufacturers and the check te in- dustry; or the extra tax to preducers which a carelessly drafted law might inflict. These are matters which ll'uld be caretully looked after, so that the bills will accomplish the purpose for which they were written when enacted into law. DESERVED WORDS OF PRAISE. Congressman Higgins from the New London district has saved the naval| Y station at that place for the peeple of the county and sl deserves credit for, having dor astonishing what misstatements and misapprehension he had to refuts and | overcome in doing %0. Even the see- retary of the navy is 80 ignorant of actual facts that he recently made the statement that no vessel of -any size | can go into New London harbor, and it was Congressman Higgins' good work to expose this ignarance and to | show to conigress “that New London has one of the finest harbors in the world;-that the Dakota and Minnesota, two of the largest ships in the world, were built and launched within two miles of that place and that the har- :‘ bor itself is large enough amd deep enough for the emtire Atlantic flest to enter and anchor therein.”—Bridgeport Standard. ' Congressman Higgins is alert for every interest of the old Third die- trict, and ip a ballot todsy would doubtless carry the district by an old- fashioned majority. The people bave never for a moment questioned his ability or faithfulness, nor do they doubt that he is the legally chosen reprosentative. It is his opponent's privilege to fight till the last ditch is reached; but such & dispute as Mr, Jodoin has set up is unprecedented here. Those who know Congressman | Higgins know that he does mot want an office he was not chosea to fill, and that is why he is anxious that his opponent should have the fullest op- portunity to prove his case. FOUR THOUSAND OUT OF B NESS. It must be acknowledged that the activity of the Taft administration against swindling methods has shown great results. Figures were given out the past week ut Washington, to the effect that 4,000 bucketshops have recently sus- pended business, owing to the cam- paign waged against them by the de- partment of justice. Seven-eights of the tefegraphers formerly employed in these offices, and five-cighths of the clerks are now in other business. Thfs may be no evidence that the speculative or gambling craze is less, only that the opportunity of being un. righteously fleeced is not so great. The. bucketshops may go to the wall, but the wild-eyed board watchers will not 50 readily be diminished. Those who habitually play with the ticker are not 50 easiy vanquished. People who have money to invest will buy stocks as heretofore. But they should do business with the regular brokers and bankers of thel home towns, who can help innocent persons to distinguish between an in- vestment and ib) EDITORIAL NOTES.
