That same nelghbor al- most constantly has a boy on the road in_one direction or another to “bor- row little flour, or a little lard or a little tea, or a liftle sugar, or a littie something 'else. They're always just out and going to the store after more nd they’ll nmeturn it “tomorrow.” hat “tomorrow” never coomes. There are manifestly two Sorts of Serrowers, but in all my worldly ex- perience, I never found another just like the first neighbor I've referred to. Whetler he's a class all by himself, or whethdr there are a few more of him scattered up and down the land; I can’t profess to be sure. But a vast majority of the borrowers I've known are simply Horrowers by metonymy, and actually 'heggars in fact. They find_it<easier to $ponge their needs from others than 4o earn them or save the wherewithal to own them. It's a mighty easy state of mind, that, to get into, I'm sorry to say. Some years ago, all the people in the Bagg neighborhood saved their own sweet-corn seed. But Mrs. Bagg had a regular fad for tracing up and saving great quantities of the 2ars, and they used tb hang in almost decorative festoons from all the rafters and cross- ties of her great, roomy woodshed. Gradually the neighbors found that, if they forget or neglected to save their own, they could always “borrow” some from her. It actually got so, before her death, that every nefghbor within 4 mile used to trot regularly down te her, every May, to get a little sweet- corn for seed. = They grew se in’ the habit of it that they forgot how te ave their own. When she dted there came naar being a sweet-corn famine in that part of the town. But it's when we come to picking flaws in our neighbors that we reach the summit of happiness. Anyway, it would secem @0, from the eagerness ;and th> ulmost universality with which we take up that endearing occupation. 1\:' ';!d b[(;l;l:n pbrase: “Nil nisi de mortuie !

But whils they’re still alive speaking fll ean and does hurt horribly. . It's a queer taste which leads- to searching people on this sid> anyway. .

But when We g2t together on a scouting party into the chamaeter of our neighbors, it's just their fungous faults which we chase after and pick and held up to general observation. The sweet flow. ers of truthfulness and lovalty and friendliness and charity we ignore or fass by with a sort of sneer, as if we could expose the rottenness of them, 100, if we cared to take the trouble. | don’t know that this sort of thing is 4 bit more common in_the country than it is in the town.

Which makes it more desirable that we should exercise the Tight spirit of selection in the things we choose to see and report upon.

Would it or would it not tend to ce- ment the friendship between the neigh- bors? THE FARMER. Wo gather from the address on Clean Journalism at the Buckingham, on Monday night, that present Ameri- can journalism is mot “clean” because it is not conducted according to meth- ods which Christian Science would 1i it to employ. The remedy is to read the Christian Science paper. The Monitor. An orator at the Jacques some time ago denounced the dai Dresy in similar terms, because it di not devote sufficient space to approy- ing utterances on socialism. It is not uncommon to hear ardent prohibition- ists condemn the newspapers because they do net present the temperance cause adequately. All this is flatter- ing to the extent that it shows the newspapers are regarded as something more than a_commercial venture. It 1s charged with responsibility ana en- trusted_with some degree of leader- ship. Yet it is usually taxed with in- competency, faithlessness or even cor- ruption by any small bedy of enthusi- asts whose cause it fails to advecate in unqualified terms. The average newspaper is reflective rather tham creative. In a seuse it is a governor to the great human engine because its news columns distribute each im- pulse and balance. If it were en- dowed with editors willing and eager to take up the uncompromising advo- cacy of every detail ad moral cause its reputation for sober judgment would soon be abolished.

Mahan ha: certainly gradually grown to be one o the forémost men in‘ the state and in devoting his time and influence to. th interests of his native city has de- veloped into a boomer for the whois state and sections of New England in other states. He has had more meas- ures of mterest to New London before the present sessisn of the legislature than has been introduced in_other ses- sions for several sessions, and- he has thrown Fis oest endeavors into every measuré he presented. Nothing 18 too big for Bim to tackle and he goes at with a determination to win, first he- ing satisfied that he is on the right tack. . Oppositicn by men who “weis leaders in statal matters when Mayor Mahan was a newsdoy Goes not in lie least lessen his enthusiasm and esr- nestuess, but hie battles against all 0p- position, no matter how formidable, in the hope of doing what he believes to e best for New London and the state of - €onnecticut. - He has submitied many. projects of magnitude and suc- ceedad in most of them, but there are still a-féw under legislative action that are not vet determined. One of these is fo make the big town of Waterford a part of the little city of Now Lon- don; so that the latter city will have opportunity to expamd, to grow to be the principal or one of the principal cities of the state. His attention has béen in part oc- cupied the present week with the measure to secure an appropriation of $1,000,000 from the state to develop the advantages of New London harbor 80 that it will be avallable for maritime traffic with Europe direct and become oneof the leading ports of the United States, and in this maiter the whole people of the state are. interested, ' for it would maan a business boom for all ot Comngcticut. ~The ratural harbo: is with us, but the development of fa- cilities ‘is lacking, and that is what Mayor Mahan 1§ striving for, and in this he has the backing of representa- tives from all sections in the state legislature, who belizve that their fa- vorable action is satisfying to their constituency. At the hearing Thurs- day there was not only a large dele- gation of representative citizens pres- ent from New London, but also from all sections of the state. Should the state be authorized to issue bonds for the development of New London har bor, ‘it would be doing only what is being done for Providence and Bos- ton, and at neithar of these places the nstural advanteges of New . London harbor has them beaten to a frazzle. A couple of black croeks cleaned eut a local pawnshop one night during the present week, and just as the police learn=d ‘of the robbery the next morn- ing, word came from the Bridgeport police that the crooks were in custody and the stolen property secured. It cante about in this way: The burglats #ained entrance through a rear door and then boarded a frelght train just in the Tear of the store and went to the cify once noted as the home of tha great Barnum of circus fame. - Soon after their arrival they attempted to sell th> booty to a pawnbroker. He suspected theft, reported the facts to the police, and the crooks were taken in and the New London police notified. The thieves were brought back to New London and are now in jail pending tr Just because the pawnshop that was entered-happened to be in the busiest part of Bank street, with an electric 1ight on the opposite side of the street, the police force is being criticised for permitting such thieving operations to De carrled on without detection, and it is broadly hinted that if the policemen WweTe up to snuff the burglary and es- cape of the burglars would have been impossible. Such criticism Is unfair to the police officers, as they are not so numierous, not even in Bank street, But-what tabs could be kept upon their movemenits by crooks of ordinary ex- perience. Robberies of greater magni- tude are pulled off frequently in_small piaces iike New York, Boston, Phila- delphia. Chicago, and why not in New London? It is not over a thousand vears ago when a_wholesale store was robbed in busy New York and many cases of goods carted away without detection, and there is another in- stance in another city whers police- men are numerous that a safe was taken out of a store, to be opened at Teisure of the thieves. Thera are cases of similar nature Teported from other cities almost daily and whici, in comparison. the job pulled off Nay London is infinitesimal. As has been suggested just once be- fore, somg action should be taken to have at least one physician an adjunct to the nteer fire department of New London. If young doctors will not volunteer to respord to alarms of firs with firemen alacrity and be Teady for service in case of emergency, then the citv should make appropriation to provide for the attendance of firemea, making these professionai gentiemen the only paid individuals in the fire department, aside from the chief and assistants. There have been a num- Dber of tases in racent years where the services\ of physicians were needed at fires to care for the brave firemen who were nearly suffocated with smoks :n battling with blaze to save the proj- erty of others, and without pay. For- tunateiy, in every instance physiclans were sunmoned in time to prevent s>- rious resalts. Therd is no telling of the danger of loss of life by fire, or_whether the un- fortunates are to b2 firemen or occu- pacts of burning’ buildings. and it would be a humane act to provide for such emergencies. There was a firs alarm sent in last Sunday afternoon, apd when the firemen respond-d they found that the only firo was a_burn ing mattress and bed clothing, ignite from the burniag clothing of an aged woman , whose clothing had caught from a fire in the kitcher stove. When the fir=men arrived they found the old woman. ving on the floor. suffering excruciating pain, and all they could do for her relief was to Jift her from the floor and place her more tomfor!- ablv in bed and send for a doctor. In dus tire tle physician arrived and gave the woman evers possible atten- tion. but she dled soon afterward. The earlier arrival of ihe physician might not have saved this woman’s life. but there have been cases where prompt medical service has tended to prolonz ¥fe.. Talk is cheap (if it is not slander- ! ous), but jt takes money to buy rum. jor words fo that effect. is an ancient saying “but Its truth is vy gvery minute almost everywhere. and that includes the progressive city of Ney London. There are several boom - ing organizations in New London, and their doings are duly. exploited in the jc press. They Go a whole lot of ta%king and some energetic work, but there is liability of loosening of purss strings. This very woek there has been an object lesson where the boom- ers wers very much in evidence, but there is no indication that any of the funds were used to pay jthe froight. Committees of the legisiature came to New London to make personal ex- aminetion of local conditions in con- nection with matters of importance re- lating to the city that are before the legislature for consideration. - The vis- itors were royally entertainzd, wined and dined and housed, and. wern given proct of New London’s hospitality, and the boorring organizations perhaps lay claim tg the credit. It takes money for an entertainment of that maturz, and someone must pay the ‘reight. Mayor Mahan invited the legislators in the in- terest of the city and it is presumed that he will be expscted to bear the expense, which undoubtedly he will find pleasure n so doing, especially it the visitation has the effect of at- taining the desired result Mayor Mahan is a man of family, and a large one at, and he was not “bern with a_silver spoon in -his and he should nét be permitte- to pay_the expense of entertaining those Who wers in reality the guests of the city. In most other cities thers is a fund at the disposal of the mayor for the entertainment of guests who come to the city for the city's good. But there is no such fund within: ths mayor's grasp in New London, and it is abous time the creation of such a fund was given cons'deration, esrecial- e feariy ) Iy as Mayor Mahan inas given away his vears salary, and more, to help get that woman's college for New London. He glves practically all of his time to the advancement of the city, and that should suffice. ‘The people of New Lendon are of a toe liberal nature to allow the mayor to take money from his private purse to pay bills that should be cared for by order of the court 5f common coun- cil; but if that is beyond the' charter limitation, then it is up to the organ- izations of hoomers to back their talk with the coin of the realm, not as in- dividuals, but as organizations. Yes, “talk is cheap, but it takes money to The work of eiling the streets of New Londen has commenced and wiil be continued until every macadamized t is covered with the dust-layirg preparation. The ofi used upon the straets is not the wazery stuff of shert usefulness, but the black, tarry stuff that is put on the streets to stay for two or three seasons, and mot only Keeps the dust laid but preserves the roadbed as well. The preparation is somewhat disagreeable until it ssaks intn the ground, but the people are willing to subml!t to the inconvenience for the benefits that will follow. Tha trolley road company will be required to pay its proportion of the expense tarough the streets its cars passes, in- clufing "fruman street, that section which is used when there is an extra rusk or in cases of emergency. This means the passing of the electric wa- tering car, which in additien to doinz tha strest wprinkling the company was required to do Teceived revenue from the city for watering the sides of the street beyond the trolley requirements. TEe old horse-drawn water carts will be brought forth from retirement ani be used on the paved streets, and if present plans carry New London will bo, in addition to its other advantages, a dustless city. Say, on the level hasn't New London been very much in the limelight since Brvan F. Mahan ‘became mayor? He does things, re- zardless. Everything seems to moving tow- ards New London and will undoubted- ly get here on time, but it is hoped their coming will be timed with move reliability than is timed by the vener- able timepiece that has bazen lacated for over sixty vears in the steeple of the First Church of Christ and desig- nated as the town elock. This clock has done good service, but has worn itself out in fts long life of activit: For years it has been erratic and ha: finally become totally unrelfable. Al- derman James F. O'Leary, as chairman of the public property committee, has appealed to his fellow aldermen, with tears in his eyes, 80 to spaak, to have them second his efforts, towards get- ting a new town clock. But the best ha could do was to secure the passage of a vote which provided that at the Yery mext meeting where action is to be taken on any recommendation for aporopriation that a mew town clock be specifically mentioned in the call for that meeting and at that time the aMermen have practi:aly pledged ear- nest support for the passage of rec- ommendation for appropriation. In the meantime the old clock ~oaxed 2long and the running gear is kept in operation, but the hands do not seam to reach the figures on the face of the clock at the proper time. In cons: quence the old clock Is worse than clock at all. It is misleading and the caus2 of more or less inconvenierce, and the fellows who miss trains »: reason of that once reliable timeniece refer to it in language that -vould not De in keeping with the surroundings of the worn-out clock. % No Call for Change. Himself a strong advocate of civil service. Governor Baldwin's action in removing commissioners simply be- cause they are republicans and their places are sought by demecrats, is open to criticism. In his appointment of Burton Mansfield, a democrat, to take the place of Insurance Commis- sioner Theodore Macdonald, one of the reasons given was that the latter as a member of the state central com- mittee was too active in politics. The republicans in the senate swallowed this and confirmed Mansfield. The governor then turns around and se- lects Patrick H. Connolly of Danbury for labor commissioner, but nothing was said about his activity in politics aithough being in the same boat, rela- tive to his part: as Macdonald had been to his, namely, a member of the state central commitiee., - The republican senators couldn't quite follow the governor's line of reasoning, and when the next appoint- ment came along, that of William H. Cadwell of New Britain to replace Highway Commissioner James Mac- Donald, they promptly refused to rat- ify same. The highway commis&ion- ’s fob is 4 hig sne, and no new man cou’d take up the work in its present Siage without serious delay av loss i to ibe -state. “Jin” MacDonald is acknowledzed as one of the best road Dbuilders I the country, and the state of Connecticut is fortunate in the fact that he is not to be interrupted 1in his work.

We always had our conventiond in a church. - New England has from early times, associated its ‘educational sys- tem with its worship and expected its teachers to feel that in training fhe youth of the land. they were doing Godservice. Consequently some one of the commodious. ehurches hospita- bly. opened its doors ‘to receive u: The same committees i of old were appointed {o dispose ef the routine Dbusinessof the day, and, as I listened to_their reports, I could almost fancy myself_set back to the time when I was told to close school for the day and go to convantion in the neighbor- ing town.

Perhaps that last item adds a grain to my pleasant memories of such_occasion: Nowadays, nowever, the groups of eager-faced girls were without any masculine attendant, or if in attend- ance, they were not in evidence. The trollevs seemed to hava superseded shining harness and polished top-bus- g of olden time. - Another difference 1 noticed was the almost entire absenc ¢ the general public, who, though in- vited. did not respond in very great numbers. That is easily gccounted for. There are so many organizations that a convention of considerable size creates little more than a passing com- ment. A group similar in character to that I have described might mean Christian Endeavor work, -temperance work, Sunday school - conference, or what not. One carmot expect the gen- may she be forgiven, to convention, as so-helpful and 1 Al this is c stead of variety being the aim of the programme, unity is sought, and the | result_was that those in attendance on May 5 must have L dsomething from every one of the ree S, whose talks were all on the same lin3 of thought.

The problem in amusmg their restless lit- I tle folk on rainy days would have been simplificd, and paper = and scissors would have answered the oft-Tepeated question: “Mothar, what can 1 do?” Now, too, cne of the speakers was a woman, and well did she Tepresent her cause. I remember the first time I aver heard a woman speak before such a gathering. We almost held our breath at her display.of daring in at- tempting such e thige, We knew she couldn’t make herself heard or get th> sttention of the room. She was, a it turned out, exceptionally bright and witty, end had a loud ringing voice which made its way to all points of the Toom. Then our opinions veered from pity to disapproval. “So bold of her to get up there and talk like a man.” I But these were not all the contrasts to be noted. I took the dinner served Dby the ladies of the church in the din- ing-ball_below the audience-room, and a delightful repast it was and well served. In olden times had “we no friends to take us to dinmer; we car- ried luncheon box and found our own piace for eating. but the luxury of the cemfortable chairs and tables and 200G things to eat were all combined when the Methodist ladies served us S0 cheeifully with a fine menu all brought to us on such pretty china and in such a dainty way. Another contrast to olden times was afforded by the orchestra at the open- | ing of the afternoon session. Time was when the violin was a scandaland reproach, and to have a little girl show herself capable of handling that instriment was an unheard of thing. Yet we saw there a goodly numbar of young folk, about equally divided be- tween bovs and girls, using viano, vio- lins, cornets, trombgne, ’ceily, mando- lins, drums, and all’ apparentiy anjoy- ing their work and learning meantime some good Jessons. ‘We heard a great deal said during the day of the value of accurancy, in work. Where could it be better taught than in that little orchestra? Close attention and prompt obedience were evidently acquired by those children. Also the ability to forget one's self in the intarests of the whole body. Isw't that a useful lesson in good citi- zenship?

Another office in which the present encumbent should be left undisturbed is that of factory inspector. Mr. Mc- Lean’s work has béen above cricitism. That his ‘office has beew one of the best administersd in the - stats has never been questioned. He is familiar with the conditions in the factories of our state, has made all manufacturers live up to the various laws left to him to enforce, and mno one can raise the slightest criticlsm to his work. He is impartial, thcugh - just, watchful though not officious, using judement and discretion in the emforeing wf the law, giving every man fair “show’ but at the same time seeing that the provisions of the statutes placed in his hands to enforce are.implicitly abey- ed. He is a practical man, familiar with factories and ‘manufacturing, in fact. hes all the gualifications for the position. There has never been any just_grounds for criticism of his ad- ministration, ' therefore the -governor ar find ne other reaon for his re- movsl than that of volitics. - The only thing the governor can find against him is that he is a republican. This is cre of the offices that should mot be disturbed, 2nG the senate majority would be upheld In refusing to confirm the appoinfinent of a successor to Mr. McLean. The factory inspector, like the highway commissioner, is doing good work, and the affairs relating to the office can be better administered by leaving things as they are.—Rock: ville Journal. ‘Women Not to Blame. to be hoped that not much will be said—and nothing in the way of palliation or excuse—about petty fem- inine jealousy haying prompted or compelled the naval academy authori. ties to draw a soclal line against goy- ernesses, as .such.
