The Pulletin has the largest ety OPPOSITION TO NEW LABOR COMMISSIONER. The new labor commissioner named by Gowernor Balwin seems to lack no quality for the place, except that he is an active politician, as was In- surance Commissioner Macdonald of New Flaven, a cause for his removal acoording to the views entertained by the gevernor. This is doubtless a case in which the governor heard of every- thing excepting the pernicious political aetivity, and Mr. Comnelley of Dan- bury may_ agree to take a passive in- terest oy im politics while he is in "'K “Yew Haven Times-Leader say: “Patriek H. Connelley of Danbury, the appointes to succeed William H. Sco- ville, deceased. is ome of the best- known members of organized labor in Conneetiout. Fle is secretary of-the State Federation of Labor and with the late Rev. Father Kennedy of Danbury succeeded in bringing to a satisfactery settlement the strike of the hatters, which made so much trou- ble among the manufacturers and la- borers of the city of Danbury. “Mr. Connelley is a member of the Democratic state central committee and his age ig 48 years. “Me was very highly praised by leading citizens of Danbury, including Rev, H. C. Meserve of the Congrega- tlonal church of that city, who has| been well scquainted with him for vears and who knows what Mr. Con- nelley has e among the laboring men of Dambury and throughout the state.” There is sald to have been thirty- three candidates for this office; and the larger part of the labor unions appear to be opposed to him. It is the | claim of prominent mernbers of or-| ganized labor in Hartford that Mr Conneiley represents less than 60 of the 520 labor ofganizations of the state They insist that Mr. Connelley does not in any degree represent organized laber. TO BE MADE OPEN TO ALL. It s not strange that Memgrial day has been made semewhat exclusive by the veterans of the civil war; but leoking back tpon it, there is no doubg it could have been broadened in its, impressiveness and effectiveness and Dbeen very much more enjoyed in a way by the general public A\ Bridgeport post has decided to| Dbroaden the celebration of Memorial| day this year; and the new feature, as stated by the Bridgeport Telegram, is as follows: “The regrrted intention of Post sShip. Filias Howe, Jr. of the G. A.

No doubt the invitation will be accepted in the spirit in which it is offered, and the warm-hearted, newer Ameri- cans may be trusted to appreciate the kindly tact which thus draws them into the home circle and welcomes them as brothers. “There is no better schaol of loyalty to the republic than commumion with the men who were ready to sacrifice | themselv its preservation.” If those who come to ue from afar are ever to be American- ined they must be brought into contact with all that is best in American life| and made to understand that they ar an impertant part of it. It is fitti that those wheo in some darker hwr‘ may also be called upon for the su-| preme sacrifice, whould cateh’ the in-| spiration of patriotism. “The progesed ‘foreign division’ eertain to arous enthusiasm and it) will be gladly hailed as a token of| ¢loser union between the many races Fhich ars alowly but steadily being| “lended into a composite nation which 38 gathering to itself thebest blood of all the best nations of the earth. This is a good example to follow It may be the very best way to pro- vide for the perpetuation of the day The wider the personal interest’ creat- ed in this celebration, the more likely is 1t to be honored by the citizens. | Young Mr, Spreckles says the great- est business in America is the national government; the next, state sovern- ment; and the mest municipal govern- ment; and he is surprised that the stockholders, the vaters, take so little interest, Such indifferemce is enough to ruin any business. an entrance into the-Mussachusetts market some genius presented a bill to the legislature rec- ogniging 36-1b. calves as merchanta- ble.

It is werthy -of note that Priet’s feat is a precise verifica- of the alarmist forecasts made in England while the art of flying was still in the experimental stage. » * * But no human being has ever approx- imated the speed made from London to Paris by Prir, if his time of take- off and landing was correctly faken. He left a London suburb at 1.37 p. m. and landed in the aviation fleld at Issy, which is practically Paris, at 5.45. BEven apart from speed, it is | to be moted that Prier has made a notable long-distanee record, the best Previous record being but 244 mile: and on a race course at that. The cross-country record was much less. Prier used a monoplane, and it is plain that the contest befween the two iypes of flying machines is to be acute this season. Ome of the meost striking features of' Prier's achieve- ment is that, like Moissant when he made his cross-channel flight, he is a beginner. AMERICANS, BANANA EATERS. ‘I’ shows' what ‘a ‘taste for bananas the people of this country have when it is shown that.we buy twelve and a half millions’. werth a year, which, in the aggregate, represents four: bil- Hon bananas. The banana has kié- come a world-wide cheap food, as may be seen. by the fellowing statement made with reference to the business: The banana is easy to raise, as may. be inferred from the fact that in banana countries natives carry the bunches on their heads or in ox teams as much as ten miles to a shipment point and get for raising the bunch d délivering it anywhere from 15 to cengs. A “punch” in the s of tlie trade, has seven “fingers” rows of fruit. A bunch with enly six rows is only three-quarters of a bunch; one with five fingers is half a bunch. Bunches exceeding seven fingers ate still only bunches and growers lop off the extras with their machetes rather than carry them to market and get nething for them The banana sells for a very low price and is healthful and nourishing. ‘It is eaid that there are milliens of shop girls who eat| three a day or a thousand each in a| yéar. The United Fruit company, which has made a wonderful success, does mure business in bananas than anythige else. Iis managers say that supplying the food that is within range of all is a Detter business than cater- ing te any class. Banana peels are found from the fiords of Sweden and Norway and the glaciers of Alaska to the equator and beyond. ERRING THROUGH IGNORANCE. The lack of interest shown socially in the newcomers from foreign shores| to America, and the errors social and | political which they maks are more of | a shame to the communities in which they live than to themselves, In Lawrence, Mass., which is a typi- cal New England mill town, 36 for- eign-born couples have been found who believed they had been legally | married, but who, as a matter of fact, | had simply taken out marriage licenses and then assumed marital relations without taking further legal steps.. In nearly every instance these | people were perfectly willing to have| legal ceremonies performed as soomn a.u‘ they came te know the facts, and in nearly every instance, alse, they had been ag true and as happy as if the knot had been tied firmly at the first. The Ansonia - Sentinel, commenting | upon this discdvery, says: ' “Some systematic means should be inaugurated with a view to instruct- ing our foreign-born population® con- cerning essentials in this country. In behalf of Italians, such a work is al- ready under wa; Bnlightenment is . what America boasts and it is through enlightenment | only that our institutions can be pre- | | served, and negligence and wrong im- | pressions of citizenship through vicious | Dolitical instruction are taings native| Amerieans are wholly responsible for. erty but the mmoter of good citizen- Reciprocity is like some other things which we didn't want; that after- wards proved to be a blessing.
