The budget for the ensuing vear calls for the increasing of the tax recommended last year by one mill for the taking care of the regular expenses of the city. This means that some of the departments must have over $14,- 400 . more from taxes this vy than was required last year before any of the extras were voted, and most of this is sought for the street, fire and police departments while there are enough extras petitioned for to add ¥ix more mills to the tax should they all be voted. What the increase for the regular departments will be de- voted to will probably give the heads of committees a chance to give the taxpavers some information and they entitled to know whether it is for hetter service to the city, increased salaries or simply the ne y re- quirements for taking care of a grow- ing city The taxpaver's place tonight is at the city meeting that he can give free expression to his belief as to how the city should be operated and record preference for or against an econom- ical and efficient administration. Fol- lowing the polls it is the valuable op- portunity which the citizens have to take an active part in the govern- ment of the city. MILITANCY'S WEAKNESS. Under the belief that something sen- sational must be attempted for further attention to the itant ods prevailing In England Miss son went to her death by jump a racehorse at the Epsom Derb: is being heralded v the followe that branch of the su movement as a martyr milite but i questionable whethe most of acts of those will not more people than it does meth Davi- of rs the turn nt, r, like ag for eople, st it simply on the action was little grounds that it was i act r but fana Her 1S suicide of a se tional che in whi¢h the chances of the death of the rider, so often hap- pens. together with the escape of the responsible party, was entirel; looked and disregarded. Tt is inconceivable that the result of such a case of self destruction will add impetus to the militant cause. ¥ar better service could she have rendered ort ca over- to the cause of woman’s suffrage had she selected the sane course of pro ocedure and helped in the work through education. She has decreased hy one, at least, the active workers and while others may simply be waiting to take her plas fhere can be no healthy inspiration to come from such wilful taking of one’s own life and the jeop- ardizing of another. Rather does 1t form an argument against the alm of militancy and disclose a weakness which cannot be disregarded. SOLVING IMMIGRATION. Senator Dillingham does not pro- pose to take a back seat because of the disposition of his bill containing the literacy test which drew forth the president’s veto. He abandons that effort, however, of securing a better class of immigrants upon an educa- tional test but immigration has been his hobby for some time and his new bill aims to accomplish restriction in a different manner. His new measure provides that the aliens of any nation- ality not including visitors, who may be admitted to the United States dur- ing any fiscal year shall not exceed ten per cent. of those persons of such na- tionality resident here, provided, how- ever, that the minimum shall not be less than five thousand nis would operate to restrict the inflow from southern Burope and western Asia, but would permit an Increase from north Burope and the ['nited Kingdom, What this country wants is the best of immigrants that it can get ithout closing the door of freedom and opportunity to deserving people, The question of immigration is a large one and one which is constantly bring- ing up new phases. It is no easy mat- ter to adjust the situation so that the country will not suffer from an over- loading. and at the same time refrain from cutting off the hope which it helds out to desirables. It is to be class noped that Senator Dillingham's ef- ferts may wccomplish the selutiom. DEVELOP FARM OPPORTUNITIES. ' The business men ef the state of ‘Washingten are pessessed of the right idea when they set out to make thelr own state preduce what is now ebtain- ed elsewhere at an enermous cost. Their idea is that development and a realization of the oppertunities which exist throughoeut the state can accom- plish it and their hepes even run so high as to belleve that it is pessible to prevent the impertation of forty million dollars’ worth of agricultural products into Bpokane county alone through a movement for the stimula- tion of the raising of more cattle, hogs and agricultural products. They have the means and what is needed is the realization of it and the inclinatien. This is the same situation which exists in many other localities and likewise right here in Eastern Con- necticut. Millions of dollars which are sent to other parts of the country could be kept right here at home if there was a desire to get down to a business propesition in the raising of corn, hogs, poultry and other farm products. Tt 'is a business matter which the farmer as well as the bus- iness man should be interested in, and while the business men of Washing- ton plan to send out automobile trains to carry the message of alfalfa and corn growing, hog, cattle and produce raising to the farmer there must be on the part of the farmer the willing- ness to hear and learn which is equal to the willingness of the experts to teach, if there is to be a proper de- velopment. The idea is well concelved and it is as applicable for the east as for the west. BLIND ENTHUSIASM. Many are the tactics 5f the I. W. W, which are unexplainable in the cru- sade of the leaders throughout the country and peculiar are the methods used in the arousing of the hopes and enthusiasm of the class of followers which are received into their ranks. Hopes are stimulated through prem- ises and confidence aroused through the interest which is taken in their be- half. The leadership results in the fol- lowers pursuing their direction blind- ly and may explain the esubscribing to ang permission of the display of such signs as o God, No Master,” as was shown Saturday night in Madison Square Garden in New York until authorities prevented, and which among most any class of people ought to draw forth the loudest kind of a protest. 4 the Springfield Republican de- clares: “The ‘no master’ part of it is comprehensible enough, for the word ‘master’ is doubtless used in the old sense of employer, and the I. W. W.'s ideal state of industrial socie would not tolerate employers In any sense whatever. But the ‘no God’ part of the motto seems needless and a very great tactical blunder, viewing it from the lowest plane of expediency in la- bor warfare. For there must be a countless number of wage earners who are religious enough to be shocked and affronted by such a bold repudiation of the idea of deity. The 1. W, W. leadership in th particular recalls the insane fanaticism of the French Rev- olution in its early stages. The absurd attempt to abolish the Christian re- ligion and the establishment of the worship of ‘Reason’ by the revolution- revealed the moonshine that had got into their heads.” Enthusiasm often carries people off thelr feet, but it should never be allowed to go to any such limits as the New York incident. EDITORIAL NOTES. With Foxhall Keene breaking his collar bone at polo the sport takes on the dangers of football. “Swat the bills which ignore econ- omy” seems to be a sensible slogan which Governor Baldwin is following out. It must be remembered that dition to the city year there is a mill state. in ad- and town taxes this demanded by the revelling in m of cold The graduates are now It dreams. is the reali facts and responsibiliti which will follow. If thin ss along the usual channel Senator Townsend's allega- fon may result in another invest tee. tion comm now um is de- ess. Tt is ap- from what it was expected to cure. The attitude of eve citizen at the city meeting should be that of every ul man looking after the wel- are of his business The veterans who are getting ready for Gettysburg are preparing for a r different kind of a reception than was received fifty y ago. So Governor Baldwin expects two million from the state tax. Well that with the million saved means three millions nearer a debtless state. While the president is creating an interest in the Washington lobby the people would like to know his atti- tude on the rider in the civil service bill. It is quite consistent with the atti- tude of the militants that they should to break up a peace gathering, and then expect to go scot free for breaking window: There is nothing surprising about the enthusiastic endorsement District At- torney Whitman is getting in New York for mayor. Not only has he won it, but he deserves election. While the governor has killed the bill for draining the breeding places for the elimination of the mosquito, it does not prevent private en- terprise and it will not impede the ! good work of swatting the fly. Massachusetts’ democratic governor who fears the administration’s tariff policy and says so, because of its prob- | able effect upon business, is the lobby who operates without going to Wash- ington. ‘. Pittsburg has discharged its super- tntendent of schools for charges which the board of educatlon deem proven.

Happy thought for today: With ex- President Taft, President Wilgson and Representative Underwosd in Wash- ing there are those democrats who may figurs the past, pressnt and future of the presidency are represented- “Albert said when he telephoned at 4 o’clock,” quoted the woman who was telling the story, “that it was suck delightful weather it weuld be a per- fect shame not te go, and he could hardly wait to get across the lake and see how our summer place had stood the long, hard winter. ‘The birds will be there’ he warbled, ‘and the ferns all will be coming up and there will be violets—and the boat leaves early these days—at 7 o'clock! Be sure to put in my razer!’ “I'm generally good natured,” went on the woman who was telling the story, “but I fear that just then I became peevish. I pointed out to Al- bert that when he had departed for town that morning we had agreed to g0 to the club dance that evening and + hag just finished cleaning my slippers fixing an evening dress and making an appointment with the hairdresser, and that if he could invent some meth- od of having food for three days for two people prepared by our cook in one hour I wished he would do it. “Knowing Albert as I did, I might as well have saved my breath. “I got out a suitcase and packed it with a gingham dress. neglegee shirts, lettuce, strawberries, asparagus, bread, butter, cold ham, matches and other items that are necessary on a rough- ing trip. By that time Albert came home in a perfect flurry of flower seeds, vegetable catalogues and cigars. “All the way to the boat Albert raved over the halmy air and the soft spring breezes. E raptures were temporarily quelled when the steny faced ticket agent broke the news that the boat line was selling nothing but 20-ride tickets this vear and had raised the price te $30, and that statereoms, too, had gene up. The president of the line had to cellect money semehow to send his family te Eurepe er invest in diamonq mines, and the weekly commuter this season had to pay the freight. “After the shock I led Albert, mean- ing faintly, to his stateroom. He was left with just $4.60. instead of the $25 he had calculated en, but I had some money in my purse. “When we landed the next morning in Michigan a blast from the neorth pole hit us. The sun was, indeed, gayly shining and the bay was spark- ling and it _was perfectly lovely if you had on Eskimo furs instead of a i e i | OTHER VIEW POINTS So long as human nature craves spe- cial favors, and is willing to pay for them, the tipping evil can not be dealt with by boycoett.—New Britain Her- ald. Highway Commissioner Bennett in- sists that he needs that five million dollars in his business. Everybody who wants to do big things for the state or with state money, insists they need the money. The fauit of this leg- islature is largely that it has listened so intently and so sympathetically to those who had designs on the state treasury with more or less plausible pretexts.—Bristol Press, We don’t like to pay high prices for ice. but we cannot see that it would help matters much to put the city into a business centure which would be a losing investment at least four years out of every five, besides giving all manner of opportunity for favor- itism in the appointment of those em- Dloyed and in the distribution of the product. The municipal ice proposi- tion should be packed away in ice.— Bridgeport Standard. Governor Baldwin's vetoes simply mean that so far as possible he is go- ing to insist upon Connecticut getting along with its old clothes till it has the money with which to buy new ones. He is going to add as little to the debit side of the state’s ledger as possible. If appropriation measures are signed they will represent not lux- uries, but positive necessities. The governor is right. More power to his veto pen.—New Haven Union. With the approach of the vacation season, the dangers of drinking wa- ter in strange places without due re- gard for its purity, should be gener- ally considered. It would be a good plan for the state health authorities to warn town health officers to have suspicious sources of drinking water posted, for public protection. Typhoid draws most of its victims from the ranks of those who make vacation trips.—Waterbury Republican. People have no idea how newspapers circulate away from their home town. Every publisher has a considerable list of subscribers who formerly lived where it was publisied, or are int ested in the place for business reasons. And people sendg away many papers. If you want your town to cut a good figure before the world, subscribe to the home paper, and advertise as much as yvour business will fairly warrant.— Meriden Journal. “You have made a liberal provision for the improvement of our highways, fettered by na unnecessary conditions.” Having said this he dropped the sub- ject as if it were a hot cake. The re- port that the governor would have ve- toes the $5,000,000 bill had he been given the chance, was denied, but the above sentence from his address shows his hand just as clearly as theugh he had signed his name to a good roads veto.——Ansonia Sentinel. Judging from certain headlines in papers from cities where power-driven fire apparatus is being introduced it will be advisable, provided one keeps an interleaved and progressive dic- tionary, to make an entry something like this: “Motorize (v). To provide with a motor; especially to change the motive power of vehicles from animal traction to the gas-driven or explosive engine.” The word seems to fit better than “electrify” as meaning the change from steam to electric power on a rail- road.—Providence Bulletin. The charge by the Michigan senator that the president of the United States comes nearer being a lobbyist than anyone he knows is likely to be quickly forgotten. It is a charge that cannot be sustained without Indicting the American people for electing presi- dents, the party system for making the president the leader of his party in congress and even the constitution of the United States for giving the president the power to write messages, address congress in person and veto legislation.—Springflield Republican. Governor Baldwin's valedictoby was just right. If he had told the legis- latureD, in specific detail, just how bad it was, it wouldn't have understood. 80 he congratulated it upon the gen- eral tenor of the laws actually en- woted and expressed regret that it had failed to do certain desirable things apd had frittered away a tremendous ount of its valuable energies upon non-essentials, The governor's words were tactful and kindly, but there is plenty of room between the lines for him who cares to read there.—Water- bury American.

AT THE SUMMER PLACE thin tailor suit and white waist that had been too warm in Chicago. “‘Won't you ever learn’ Albert chattered between blue lips as we hud- dled in the launch that was taking us to the cottage, ‘that no matter how warm it is in Chicago, it's always cold over here? Why in thunder didn’'t you wear some sensible clothes? Now you'll go and have pneumonia, T suppose!’ ‘The trees didn't have the ghost of a bud gn them, there wasn't a sign of a fern and the caretaker hadn't fixed up the engine pump for the season, so we had no running water Therefore we couldn’t build a fire in the kitchen stove because it had a boiler con- necteg with it, so we got our meals in the fireplace. While I might have been glad to do so if I had been a pil- grim father, it was kind of a bore at this date. “Albert raked leaves and wheeled them away till his back broke, and then he began burning them up where théy were. Besides nearly burning the house down. he made the yard look like the side along a rallway track where the company has burned the stubble. Then we had to walk two miles to the milk farm after milk, and when we got there they said we’d have to wait till they did the evening milk- ing—and, coming back, Albert tripped on a root in the dark and spilled most of the milk. “There were mice in our plllows and there was no kerosene for the lamps and when I got up in the morning the wash cloth I had used the night be- fore was frozen. I told Albert to hurry and get up and enjoy the bheautiful spring morning and build a fire, and he told me that T thought I was smart, didn’t 1? He seemed to think I had turned on that brand of weather on purpese. “After Albert had meved the weed- ile and stuck some nasturtium seeds n the barren ground and had said he wished he had a beefsteak, I suggest- ed that we home en that night's beat, particularly as we had nothing more to eat. Yeu ought te have geen him jump at the suggestion. “Now that he's back he gees arsund beasting to everyone of the fine, brac- ing time he had in the ceuntry! He actually said we had the plaee all fixed up te move into now fer the summer, and all I did inside was to dust the dining table! Men are so funny, bless their hearts!”—Chicago News. EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS Just Right. There is a certain point at which | anything is just right; not enough is; bad, too much is worse. The good cook browns the roast to a turn. The wise mother rebukes and praises just to the right degree. The good wife is not too cold, not too loving; she's just right. The good friend knows how to com- pliment us just “to the saturation point.” - The good tragedian is just tragic enough, and the good comedian not too funny There is just pne place on the violin string where you must put your finger in_order to produce the perfect tone.
