Prentice to the po- sition of chief justice of the supreme court of errors of Connecticut, he car- ried out a duty which he could hardly well avoid. Justice Preatice was in line for the promotion in accordance with the custom which has prevailed in the filling of the vacancy of chief justice, namely, the longest service of any among the associate justives, and it wes the same qualification which made Governor Baldwin the chtef jus- tice of the same court when he suc- ceeded Chief Justice Torrance. It was within his power to have selected another, but his action has firmly established a precedent regard- less of any partisan feeling and it is especiaily an office for which partisan- ship should have no qualification. . In his choice the governor has chosen 2 worthy successor to the late Fred- erick B. Hall, and again eastern Con- necticut is honored by the selection. In making his other judicial selec- ions Governor Baldwin had a long legal experience and thorough acquain- tance with the Teguirements for the important affice of judge which doubt— less proveq valuabie. Justice Beach and Judges Tuttle and Webb are all equipped by valuable experience for the handling of the duties of their office. That they are democrais does not interfere with their becoming ex- cellent fudges but ™ common with many others who have received sim- flar appotiments, however active par- tisans they may have been, it is the signal for Jessened activity in that di- rection. PROF. FISMER'S RESIGNATION. For some time Prof. W. C. Fisher has been giving pubiicity to beth Wes- leyan ang Middletown and in @ man- ner which showed him a man of much independence, as professors often are and have a right to be. As long as he confined himself to politics there was no interfersnce on the part of/ the unlversity with his public par- ticipation. He has taken a positive and aggressive stand in all matters which he became interested in, so| much so that he gained widespread pubcity therefrom. He is no ordi- nary partisan. When he addresseq a HartfoM# aud- fence on Sunday recreation and fa- vored closing the churches for a time as an experiment upon the effect it would have on religion he went to a limit which the university could mot stand and which he realized when he €aid he “was free enough from prefu- dice to see clearly that a college with the history and comstituency of Wes- levan was not the place for a man Wwho held his views.” Tt was not so much the views of Prof. Fisher which resulted in his res- ignation being askeq for. as it was the manner in which he expressed them. His aggressive attitude reflecied on the university through his professor- ship and tolerance of it would have occasioned more surprise than his res- ignation. Of it all however, a pleas— ing feature is the harmonious manner in which the ties have been severed. It may be a lesson to the professor. SAVING THE CHILDREN. In assuming her new position Miss Julta Lathrep in charge of the gov- ernment'’s burean for the welfare of children makes an interesting state- ment when she declares that the proper registration of births through- out the country would result in the saving of 150,400 bables each year, This of couree does not mean that the mere registration would accom- plish this wonderfnl rescue work. but it would follow from such procedure that a greater number of children would be reached and through the aid which could be given the infant mer- tality would be reduced. It is through the registration that the work of aiding the ignorant par- ents can be systematically done, for otherwise these agencles of civiliza- tion which are working to cut down Le sxcessive death rate and give bet- nealth conditions in the home are ved of an important part of their of operation. With the forces 4o work and doing their part vive the babes the advautages of ienic care by overcoming the lg- rance which otherwiee might exist . the crowded tenemenmt districts, ill greater bemefits can be accom- ~lished by the eooperation which the rrompt registration gives. Magnifi- cent results have been attained by the instructions which have been given concerning the care of children during the early years and at all seasons and whatever will aid in extending them should be encouraged. Certainly the saving of 160,000 lives is w g RAILROAD FIREMEN. Trouble on the railroad systems of the east, of a similar nature to that ! threatened several months ago by the engineers is now underway by the fire- men who seek a betterment of the con- ditions under which they are work- ing. The railroads admit that there should be an adjustment in the pay of the firemen so that with both sides working along similar lines it should simply be a matter of getting together on an agreement. In that regard the example of the engineers offers a fair precedent. Arbitration should by all means be resorted to, in fairness, be- fore there should be any step towards & strike, and arbitration makes its peal to both si but -the hinges on the size of the arbitration ‘board and whether ¥ shall be by the Erdman act or on the plan adopted in the engineers’ case. On the lat- ter the board is the larger, the Brd- man act requiring three men. There are advantages which the lat- ter plan offers over the plan in the Brdman act. It cannot be argued that the engineers’ case was not thorough- 1y, honestly and considerately handled. The interests of all were looked after and in the finding the concessions made to the engineers dated back to the time when the demands were made. The tieing up of the railroad sys- tems is of vital importance to the people of the east. It would mean all kinds of suffering and hardships, as the trouble on the small road in Maine has given ample evidence, and in the sparring for advantage, which the failure to agree on the number for an arbitration board amounts to, consid- eration should be given to this fact. THE TIPPING SYSTEM. Salesmen, more than others perhaps, know the evil, as well as the value, of the tipping system, as carried out S0 extemsively in hotels, on failroads or wherever it is permitted to be prac- ticed upon the public. It is mot sur- prising, therefore, when a cigar sales- man declares he has given away $18,- 000 in tips during his experience of twenty years. It was his toll te avoid delay and the price of receiving atten- tion which he otherwise paid for. Referring to the practive as an “ex-. otic, un-American custom, which be- gan as an occasional reward for wor- thy service” the New York Herald de- clares it has “become a Frankenstein monster and should be classified as one of the many varieties of ‘hold-up. As we read the table of necessary tips furnished by the cigar salesman we cannot help reading also, between the lines, what would happen if the tips were not forthcoming. His sample trunks would either miss the train or suffer serious injury; the ‘front’ would be deaf to the sound of his bell; the barber would mistake an ear for whiskers, and the suit of clothes would be mislaid on the way to the presser’s. “On’ the strength of the represen- tations made by this traveling sales- man an attempt will be made to pass an anti-tipping law, making it illegal to give or receive a tip in the state of Illinois. It is not easy to see how such a law could be enforced.” The regulation of the tipping system is possible and there are places where such a practice is forbidden, but it is only where the employer demands it under penalty of discharge, and overcomes it with good wages that it is possible. EDITORIAL NOTES. Governor Baldwin is out to win, but ‘he must prove his charges. the Young Turks seem An to be anxious to fill the office of minister of war. General Sickles the hero of Gettys- burg is anything but a hero in his own fami Deadlocks are slow things. Illinois has been waiting all the month to in- augurate its new governor. With every legisiator paying his own fare it is the dollar bill which will re- ceive full attention at Hartford. Robins haven't appeared, but Mass- achusetts farmers are plowing, which is about as unusual for this time of vear. Castro is patiently waiting for the word, but must have become recon- ciled to the fact that large bodies move slowly. The English suffragettes have re- sumed their advertising campaign. There is such a thing as overdoing a good thing. If it is not to be pu Mr. Wil- son is right in declaring there will be no “exclusive” reception on inaug- uration night. Happy thought for today: The mil- liners are not impressed by the idea of womeh concentrating their thoughts on ballots instead of bonnets. Keeping out of the reach of the law and Wall street seems to be Gen- eral Sickles’ great difficulty, but he may vet make a Gettysburg finish. The possibility of making weather forecasts a year ahead of time doesn’t interest the public half as much as accuracy for the next day’s weather. The only haste concerning the bill by Benator Mc'Neil for the revocation of that million dollar appropriation to New London ehouid be in cennection with its defeat. A Baltimore young man shot a girl who had asked him jokingly to fight a “dnel” with her, It is time that the careless handling of “unloaded” firearms stopped. Chicago statisticians have a new in- terest in futures. The number of crimes twenty-four hours in advance can be figured by striking an aver- age for the month past. The Connecticut legislature should resent any such attempt to defeat the development of its only available ocean port by using it as a lever to over- throw the highway commissioner. ‘Whatever effect the governmeni’ order on the ehipment of frozen Cal- ifornia fruit may have on the supply it is better to have a small quantity of good fruit than the entire yleld of poor fruit.

The position of Thorpe, the athlete, deserves little sympathy.

Then she tucked it into the flap of her lap desk and on her last remain- ing sheet composed the letter in which she sought to make her refusal as easy e. ! g easy thing to make a pem say “no” when the heart cries ‘yes” and the rest of the party was ready to start for the woods befére she had completed it. S Of course she could not say that it was her stepmother's order and that it was obedience to command and not the answer of her heart. She could only hope that he would see how the matter etood and understand that she had not been flirting with him through those long weeks before Marquand and his money Lad appeared upon the scene and had been pleased to bestow his attentions upon her. Until then Mrs. Appleton had re- garded Jack Orton with favor. He had money; not much, but enough for two, with excellent prospects, but he could not hope to compete with Marquand, and Mrs. Appleton wondered why Aline should be so stubborn as to continue to_care more for Orton. There had been one scene after an- other, usually terminating in Mrs. Ap- pleton's hysterics, and at last the girl's will had been broken down and the negative she could not utter was consigned to paper and intrusted to Billy, who promised faithfully to take it to Orton’s room and place it on his table. Billy was perfectly honest in his intentions, but just as he was scam- pering through the hall the cook called that she had an apple turnover for him and, tucking the note in his pock- et, he turned his attention to the turn- over. It was perhaps an hour after that that Orton, coming back from the post office, found Billy on the front piazza playing train. He was the conductor and the other children were passen- gers. Billy had a punch used for pro- gressive euchre games and was collect- ing tickets with an enjoyment dashed only by the fact that he had no_ en- gineer to whom he could signal. Billy Wwas supremely contemptuous of girls and declined to allow either of his three fair passengers to act in that capacity. It was with evident joy that he hailed Orton’s advent and instailed him in the front chair with earnest injunctions to run the train carefully | and to stop in case the emergency sig- nal was gjven on the bell rope. Billy had ridden much on the branch line that summer, and he had followed Burton, the sinsle conductor, about until ‘he had learned all about his workings. Jack Orton entered upon the per- formance of his duties with a solem- nity becoming in the engineer of the fiyer, and if he discovered an unheard- of number of cows upon the track it wag all a part of the game. They pulled into the next stop seven minutes ahead of the schedule, and Billy came running up to compliment his_engineer. Take her a little slow when we pull out,” he commanded, with an odd lit- tle 'imitation of his model’s manner. “T've got a_ train load of foolish wo- men ang they get scared when you run so fast. Got your orders?” “I thought,” laughed Orton, the conductor got the orders. Billy blushed apologetically. 1 forgot,” he explained to the felegraph office.

One day T climbed the hill near Su- biaco, which is in the mountains of Italy, not remote from Rome. There 1 visited an old monastery and a brother showed me the library, where- in I was allowed to browse as long as 1 pieased. There were hundreds of books, beautifully bound in vellum, many of them written by hand upon parchment. 1 came away rather sad. I had dug into many books. They must have been written at great pains by men under serious impulses. 'Lives had been poured into those books. And now while the volumes themselves would be pricelesg for a collector, the ideas in them were as dry and useless as the dead leaves in the momastery courtyard. The subjects discussed interest no~l body any more. Even the manner of reasoning is entirely worthless. Not a living soul, except an antiquary, if such have living souls, would read one of the books through. 1 wonder if, ten centuries from now, the books .which today thriil us will seem as wormy and tomb-like. Dead men impress one with the brevity of life; how much more dead books! Life to be Done Over and Over. “We are always beginning again to live—Nous recommensons toujours a vivre,” wrote Montaigne. Who does not feel this? Today has never been quite satisfactory. We bungled things here, and overdid mat- ters there, and altogether the whole trial sketch, an outline and attempt at life merely. Tomorrow we shall do better. And tomorrow in our faulty hands turns into another imperfect today. Life i3 not a long thing measured lby years; it is a short thing only a day ong. Every day we try to make of it something worth while. Then at night we go back into death again to grain force for another effort. So we keep it over and over, as the lens-maker polishes his glass with infinite rubs of his thumb. _A man is a fool to say it is all over. No man is ruined so long as he has another day to try it again. , Every day is a birthday, and every sunset is a day of judgment. Skin On Fire? Just the mild, si kmown D.DD. Fresc and the gone.

There was a half sheet in the flap, and pres- ‘% he came toward Jack. * i ere’s your orders,” he said, grave- Ly for Billy without : “Mine says ‘Clear track to Robert's Crossing’ That what yours says?” ‘Right,” confirmed Jack. “All ready sic?” - - . Billy dashed down the line of chairs, 'and with a wave of his arm swung on to the train and began collecting and punching tickets already punched al- | most beyond.the semblance of paper. So engrossed .was he in his occupation that it was several minutes before he noticed that his engineer had stepped off the train and was striding down the road. He, too, left the flyer with its: precious feminine freight started off after.him. s “Aren't you going to play any more?” he demanded as he caught up with the man. Orton started. “I geclare, Billy,” he laughed, “I had forgotten all about being engineer. I want to catch the crowd at the woods. You'll forgive me this time, won't you, olg_fellow ” “I guess I can get Gracie Arnold to e engineer,” said Billy, doubtfully. ‘But I say, can I have those orders? 1 want some more tickets.” Orton laughed. *“Here's a whole lot of paper” he said, drawing some old letters from his pocket. I need the one you gave me” And he was off down the road. The chestnut grove was only a cou- ple of miles gway, and he was soon there. He had not been invited to be one of the party. It was Mrs. Apple- ton’s own party and Orton had not been popular with that lady since the advent of Marquand, but he went in search of the party with a happy heart. He found Aline and Marquand apart from the group. She flashed him one glance of welcome from her eves, then dropped the lids on them while the red spread over her face. In the instant of greeting she had forgotten the note and with recollection of the cold, for- mal phrasing of her letter she became ashamed to meet his glance. Marquand regarded the intrusion in no pleasant fashion, and began to sulk. He had been assured by Mrs. Appl ton that Aline would accept him, and this nutting party had been arranged to make an opportunity for his pro- posal. Mrs. Appleton had drawn the others deeper into the woods, and he was just about to make formal offer of his hand when Orton came up. He was just contemplating the pos- sibility of saying something that would give Jack a hint to take himself else- where when that young man spoke up. “I say, Marquand,” he began, “I wish you'd look up the others for a bit. T've something very particular to tell Miss Appleton.” Marquand looked at Aline for en- couragement in his refusal, but she would not return his giance. He paused irresolute for a moment, and then strode off to search for Mrs. Ap- pleton. Aline looked up with a frightened glance. “I 1d you not to come,” she murmured, “What will they say “I was acting under orders,” insisted, holding out the letter. seized it and looked at it. “I wrote you another,” she faltered. “Where did you get this?” “Billy was playing train, and I was the engineer,” he explained. “He was looking for train orders for me, and as he had used up a-letter he had in his pocket for tickets, he had to make a raid on vour desk. When I saw this I could not wait for your return. I obeved orders, like a good engineer. “I think it was fate,” she murmured. “I will obey the orders, too.” And Orton never knew how much he owed to Billy.—St. Louis Globe-Demo- crat, he She OTHER VIEW POINTS Experts are examining Waterbury munieipal bookkeeping.
