' goldiers and the sailors did not com- iy ‘upon -sober consideration now begin to " Higgins would have received a big NEW LONDON LENIENT T0 SAILORS Boardinghouse Keeper Refused Admission to Uni- formed Soldier From Fort CONGRESSMAN HIGGINS’ ACTION REGRETTED Had Made Himself Solid With the City By the Sea—Mayor Mahan Sees Chance to Start a Personal Boom But Will Give Situation a- Careful Scanning Before Becoming Candidate. Many sailors from the battleship North Dakota enjoyed shore liberty this week. While a comparatively few of | the blue jackets gave the police some trouble, the great majority were weli- behaved and welcome visitors. It can b truthfully said of the men of the North Dakota that, taken as a whole they are the best .behaved bunch of naval men that have visited the ecity ir ‘many years., During the summer months promise has been made that many ships of the navy will visit New London harbor and that the men will be given shore liberty. So it is well that the police are instructed to be as Jenient as possible with Jack Ashore, but of course such leniency must be within the bounds of good conduct, As a rule the people of New London | make no diserimination against the ilors, marines and soldiers, of which there are many of the latter in the city at intervals from the island forts. But gnce in awhile some “in- dividual is charged with disrespect to the unifprm. But these cases are so rare that when they do occur they create considerable discussion, Such a case happened this week and the fact has been called to the attention of the war department for action. A soldier grom one of the forts had been in the éustom of taking his meals at a cer- tain boarding house when in the city on pass, always being in civillan dress. One day of the present week he called at the place dressed In his uniform and he was denied admission to the board- ing house for that reasom, so it is al- leged. Like the occasional ill-behaved soldier and sailor, there is. the occa- sional narrow-minded and misguided citizen, which in this instance seems to 'be a keeper of a boarding house. Like the. police to the soldier, the lat- ter should be lenient with men of that | class for it is evident that they lac Justice and commeon sense. The men of today who were boys fifty years ago can remember the con- dition that exiated in New London dur- ing and after the civil war when the mingle and when the marines were practically ostracised by both, and the whole were classed as undesirable by | the people a8 a. whole. Thoge old-time | fellows who wore the uniform of the army and the navy were a class by | themselves when on pass or liberty and had no use for the civilian and that feeling was reciprocal, and that was at & time when the union was in perii. Just as sure as a saflor and marine | met, no matter whether from the same | ship or not, there was & fight and the same was true at the meeting of sold- jers and sailors. In consequence there were lively times in. New London, and then there was certainly discrimination against the men .in uniferm, which was tc a degree justifiable. But that was about -fifty years ago and there has been general change in conditions for the better since then. Not only were the wearers of the uniform ever ready to fight bstween themselves but were ready to tackle citizens often upon imaginary provo- cation. = At that time there were sever- i hundred boller makers emplo)«d in New London and they were considered a pretty tough set. There arose a bit- ter feeling between the soldiers and the | Doiler -makers and street and saloon | { | fights were of frequent ocourrence, | "The soldiers were in-a sense armed for | oonflict at all times and more than one boiler-maker oarried a riveting ham- | ‘mer in his instde pocket. Inciuded in ‘the uniform of the soldier was a Jeather belt with large oval clasp of brass in front bearing the letters “UJ. B.” This clasp was backed with solid lead which converted the beit into a dangerous sling-shot. This weapon ‘was frequently used against the boiler- aakers or other citizens when attacked | Py the intoxicated soidiers. Therefore | it 18 plain that the soldier of teday is! ® peacaful dove in comparison with the | Prave soidiers that we read about, that it the recruits that rendezvoused at ew London about half a century ago are accepted as fair sampies, Hardly had announcement been made that . ressman Edwin W. Higgins had saved the New London naval sta- tion from abolitian and when even some democrats were slaging his Ppraises and considering giving him their appreciative political support, when afong comes his authoritative an- nouncement that he will not be a can- didate for renomination. He certainly has been a friend to the city of New london and to all its citizens who had business with the accommodating and efficient congressman and the peopls realize the fact more than ever. Many democrats t this action and ex- press sympathy with their republican friends, for as sure as grass grows Mr. democratic vote in New London at the mext eiection, so large that that there Would be no warrant for a recount. But the passage of Mr. Higgins from congressional contest makes clearer way for the nomination of Mayor Bryan ¥, Mahan as the democratic nominee, for with the Norwich con- gressman-in the field, - the mayors rchances would materially lessen, Mayor Mahan is being boomed as the democratic candidate from without and from within the new district, the poli- tical complexion of which is just at the present time problematical. Mr. Mahan 13 one of the shrewdest of politictans | and while this booming is going on he | ; ®ays nothing but steadies the buck and : . the unanimous nomination, which he applies the saw. He will make a care- | ful study of the ‘situation and at the | right time and place he will declarel himself to be a candidate provided he is reasonably sure of being elected. If he considers the chances against him his name will fade away in connection with the nomination. In this respect he .will be his own adviser as the man competent to give him tips on politics has not come to the surface as yet There is no doubt as to the qualifica- tions of Mayor Mahan to represent the district in congress, but there is doubt of his election even should he secure will not. When. there was agitation for a new town hall in connection with a new ceunty court house, the city of. New . London was authorized to issue bonds of $100,000 for court house purposes. But there came a change in conditions and there was no union building, but the court house building was enlarged and remodelled at the. expense of the county, and of which New London paid about one-third by special taxation. It | was supposed that the matter of a| new city hall was dropped fér some | time and that there would not be re-| vival until some time in the far fwture:l B e | no discussion and a special and inex- | perienced committee was appointed to | if I am not right. debts contracted by the city were near- ly met. The people gave no thought of a new city hall at the present time, even if there was authority for the is- sue of $100,000 bonds, the opinion pre- vailing that it was best to have new sidewalks and other indispensable im- provements before giving consideration | to the city hall project. But the court | of common council decreed otherwise, A few months ago the council voted | to issue $60,000 in bonds for the pur ’ pose of enlarging and improving the present city hall building, specifying plainly that the work must be done within the,appropriation of $60,000, and not a cent more. There was littie or supervige the proposed enlargément and improvement. A competent archi- tect was engaged and undoubtedly fol- lowed the orders of the committee in relation to the plans and cost of the improvement. Then, through some ho- i cus pocus or other method, the com- | mittee directed that the work of prep- | aration be commenced, the excavations made and the building vacated, even before the plans were ready for bids from contractors. It being the evident intention to put the property in such | condition that the work must of neces- sity go forward to completion, regard- less of the cost, or the specified $60,000, especially when the committee knew that the city had the authority to issue bonds to the amount of $100,000. ( | | After many delays, the work of ex- cavation going on in the meantime by the day and under the direction of the special committee, the plans and speci- fications were ready for bidders and the bids have been finally received. Much to the surprise of the public at large, the bids are far in excess of the 60,000 named, and in order to carry the work forward as planned by th committee the full §100,000 will be required, and perhaps more. Now the committee will go to the council and agk for that other $40,000 and will probably strengthen the request for the additional appropriation that instead ! of a remodeled and enlarged building the committee will give the pcople a new buflding. No doubt the city is in need of a mew municipal building, or an enlarged gtructure, but the residents | are few and far between who approve of the methods that have been adopted | in this special project from the start to the present time. The building and | the surroundings are now in such con- dition that the work must go forward, but there should be a guarding against the repetition of even continuance of this city hall worh as it has been ried on from the very start. should be some heed to the advic Davy Crockett, or some other fi ( who said something of being sure you| are right before going ah Better far for the council to have given more serious consideration to this matter, or others of almost equal importance, than to occupy the time of the sessions in matters that are more of personal than general importanc SOCIAL CORNER.
