Much progress is being made in this direc- | tion but the problem has by no means Deen completely solved, or the dan- ger eliminated untll every mining Tompany does its utmost to provide | for the safety of its smployes. The | least laxity in conforming with re- quirements which experience has dem- onstrated are necessary should not be countenanced. Although there improvement in mine-safety condi- tions since 1907 and a particularly | notable one the past year a still great- | er decrease can be effected. In 191 there were 2360 deaths in coal mines compared with 2719 in 1§11 and this in spite of the fact that in 1912 there were more men employed in the mines and more coal mined than in any pre- vious vear. This is evidence of the Zood work which is being done in be- | ! halt of better conditions. “Whether this vear will show that the precau- tions have served to further diminish | the deaths in mines will depend to a| large extent upon the assiduity with which efforts for safety are pushed:| | The government. mine owners and! { miners can work together effectively and nething potnts onut the | need of it more than a mine disaster. | LEAGUE. united has been a steady For the purpose of gett best results in a commur i has been instituted in Hampden cou ty, Massachusetts, a countv improve- ment league, In which not only the entire countv but the state and na tional agricwltural departments Wl unite for bettering conditions. Tt is| founded on similar lines to the or-| nization in Bennineton county, Vt. of which the Springfleld Union says: The league has shown them ho much their lives may be bettered by ctical cooperation, and the seed that w bas fallen on produc There was nothing astonishing about | the action of the house in its oppos tion to the plan of dividing the cities of the state into townships in order| i an equal representation to the municipalities in the general assem- biy in accordance to popuiation. There is a crying need for a new method of representation but the difficulty in ob- | taining it comes from the fact that | e power at present rests with the small towns and they are not inclined to cut off their own heads, ho'e“fl‘ antiquated the present system fs, or| however much justice demands that there be a readjustment. When it |=t‘ considered that Union with its popu- | lation of 322 has two representatives in the gener: assembly. which is the same number as Norwich with 000 people, or Bridgeport with 102,000 it is quite evident that equality of representation does not exist in Con- necticut. ' 1t is one direction In which the state 15 in the greatest need of reform. Ev- r+ town deserves to hare represen- tion but It should be im accordance with the number of residents therein Towns of the state which are larger than Talen 1 population have but ome representative, while the largest wity and town has but two. The bill ~defeated may not have been what the situation requires for when any of the cities or towns are to be given in- | creased representation they should | a)l have it but it is a matter which should be brought to the attention of the people of the state and the aged | system readfusted. MAY DAY. ‘Wherever they were held the May day festivals were lightfol weather, and those places favored with de- | | which have made it an annual c om to contribute to the success of thel May day breakfast, the Maypole dances | or other celebration in behal! of the opening of the month and the season of flowers had reason to believe that | they were particularly weil cared for | by the weather man. Norwich has been spasmodic in its recognition of | May day but it is an old custom which in extensively observed in many coun- | tries. and to a considerable extent | throughout New England, particularly the May breakfast. The opening of May marks the change in the season. the passing of the cold for the bursting forth of the new life and beauty in nature which excites feelings of gladnees and de- light. The Romans marked it with thelr foral games, lasting for several days and among the Celtic people it was the cause for celebration by fes- tival, while in Pngiand. though the ob- servance has undergone many chynges It has always been a day for flowers and dances, a time for the outlet of Joyful expression at the return of the | season of growth, The hanging of the | May basket is the most commen of the many forms of recognition which the day brings forth and this prefty custom at a time when trees and esrly flowers ars in bloem brings much cheer ang pleasurs to many shutins Tt is & custom which could be more ' generally participated in with profit, MUST SHOW NEED FOR INCREASE As was expected the railroads are Isoking to the iuterstate commerce commission for relief from their sit- vation, which finds them with addi- tional obligations to meet to their em- ployes. engineers, firemen, telegraphers | and clerks, and in the middle west | large losses from the floods. If the rafiroads are allowed to do as they wrish it will mean a slight increase in | the freight rates &nd they go before the commission with an appeal which | is in accordance with the direction of | the board. Appeals for increased | wages have followed ome after the other throughout the aifferent classes of employes and they have been given proper consideration and recognition by the rafiroads, which have pursued the policy of avolding strikes and the { attending Ineonvenience and loss which would be experienced by the public. tt must e shown to the commission that the need really exists it being impossible un- der the existing law for the roads te increase thelr rates without their per- mission, There. was 8 time when in. ~ereases rould be granted and sufficient it not mere taken eut of the public to coublerset it, but thut ne longer obtains.

Lack of nourish- ment and water, closed pavements, overhead wires and Jeaking gas have all taken their toll, but the loss from all these causes combined has been less than by insects.
