It lacked strength then and the effort to stir up opposition to the present head of the department de- serves to fall flat If there is any department of the cmity which bears the mark of effi- ciency it is the fire department and it is due to the magnificent work of organization which has been accom- plishéd through the conscientious and meritorious service of Chief Stanton. He has long been identified with the department. Fire fighting has been a life study with him and he has the additional qualification of being a practical mechanic. He knows the re- quirements of a successful department and he has obtained them through the suppert of the citizens. The modern- izing of the equipment, the mainten- nee and availability of the depart- ment statistics and the excellent basis on which the department is conducted are all the product of his systematic development. No city in the state has a better conducted or more efficient fire department and it is a duty of the council to”the citizens to see that no change is made. The department should be kept free from politics for the interests of the taxpavers. Fif- forts to overthrow such merit and ex- perience deserve the strongest kind of a rebuke. If sfficiency is to give way to politics what is our city ment coming to? MULHALL INVESTIGATION. What * effect Col. M. M. Mulhall’s confessions as a lobbyist, and his com- mercialization of it, will have remains for further investigation to show. - It has brought to the attention of the country a statement which needs the closest investigation for the purpose of getting the real facts in the case. His story gf course tells his side of the affalr and comes from a bhiased indi- vidual because he lost his work with the National Association of Manufac- turers by which he was employed. He thus has a motive for his confession. but it is not for the purpose of aiding in the routing of the “insidious lobby" so much as it is to get even with the organization which found it necessary to dispense with his services. He has given a one-sided statement which makes [t important that the entire tale should now be revealed. and a decision reached as to the truth of his assertions. His declarations are such that the other side bécomes necessary for a proper analysis and the reach- ing of a fair judgment. That he was discardéd already tempers his state- ments. That he was emploved to work for the interests of the association i prob- able, but that he was hired to do so corruptly needs to be substantiated. Already has his statement brought forth denials from reputable men. The situation certainly needs to be cleared up and the investigation should have every opportunity for getting at the facts. Now that a professional lobbyist has confessed he must consider that his business has been ruined, or else his versatility allows him to do business whenever the chance presents itself. His conversion story will prove inter- esting. ARSI el Gaes S The president was justified in re- versing his decision concerning at- tendanes at Gettysburg. Tt is one cel- ebration of natlonal importance at which his absence wounld have been conspieuous. .

Through the.vagaries of politics a change has been brought about in the city court, a change which though po- litical should develop no detrimental effects in the administration of jus- tice. The city court renders a ser- vice which should be free from all po- Ittical tles, dependent solely upon qualification for the dutieg of the po- sition, that it can have free and un- trammeled power. It is te the city court that the municipality looks for the treatment of the violators of the law, the restriction of its delinquents and unfortunates. [That it should be presided over by a republican or a democrat should not affect the kind of Jjustice which is dealt out. The judge of the oty court must be an impartial distributor of justice tempered with common sense and a realization both of his duty to the accused and to the public. In succeeding Judge Brown upon the bench of the city court, Judge Kelly comes prepared through years of legal training for the proper adminis- tration of the duties. He has the pre- cedent of a long and honorable conduct of the court for his guidance and thus fortified he must gain the experience which will contribute to the success for which the community looks. Judge Brown closes a period of twenty years of conscientious effort and there is no reason to believe that the same high standard of dealing out justice will not be maintained. If it can be bettered Judge Kelly has the opportumity be- fore him. BALKAN UNCERTAINTIES. Many are the uncertainties which hover about the Balkans and their unwillingness to come to a peaceful settlement of their difficulties. They are getting more and more invelved in a free for all combat over the division of their plunder, into which others are likely to be drawn for the purpose of gaining additional territory. Concerning these unknown factors the Springfleld Republican properly observes: “What will Roumania do? ‘What will be the attitude of Turkey, whose armies are still in the field? If the issue should lie between Bulgaria and its allies, with no interference, the problem would be simple. The effort of Bulgaria would be to keep the Greek and Servian forces apart, while the Servian plan would presumably be to drive a wedge between the two wings of the Bulgarian army. From the localities in which many of the recent encounters have taken place it has seemed apparent that however casual the clashes might be they were the outcome of careful manoeuvring on both sides for position in case the peace negotiations should fail. Servia ang Greece have the superior forces on the scene, but Bulgaria enjoys the advantage of an intermediate position, an advantage to some extent offset by Greece’s command of the sea.” Outside influences have had little or no effect upon the states in behalf of peace or negotiations for arbitration. They have a will of their own which. does not admit of concessions, but even without accepting the efforts of the other countries, it is time that the value of the advice given should begin to dawn upon them. BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT. What an fmportant part manufac- turing plays in tHe busginess of this country is indicated by the continued growth of production both for home and foreign use. Each vear has shown a steady increase and particularly is this noticeable in the foreign trade where considerably over half of the entire exports are made up of manu- factured goods. In the two classes which include the goods which have been manufactured for further use in manufacturing, and manufacturers fin- ished and ready for consumption there is a healthy expansion, the finished product having increased about one- sixth in the past eleven months and reaching the total of $712,000,000 for all but one month of the fiscal year with a total increase of 154 million for all manufactured goods. In all lines of business, however, there has jbeen an increase in foreign trade, exports for the eleven month period running to a total of $2,302 - 000,000 and our total foreign trade, both exports and imports amounts to $3,- 983,000,000. It is_gratifving that the balance of trade i# in our favor to the extent of nearly three-quarters of a billion. This shows a healthy condi- tion of business at thé present time and the need of fts maintenance for the future. The development of bus- iness deserves tRe greatest enccurage- ment for therein is reflected the con- tent and welfa®e of the people. With the expected iicrease in business in South America and other Pacific coun- tries the opportunity for still greater expansion, with proper encouragement is ripe. EDITORIAL NOTES.

As I! was saying to my husband, when hel took Alfred Quam for a partner, who on earth would have dreamed that such a boyish, pleasant fellow could have such a will of his own, and be so absolutely deaf to the call of what are really his own interests? “He has money, you know, and as his foiks did not live here I made up my mind that it was my duty to be kind of motherly to him,” explained the . middle aged woman. “I think there is nothing so pathetic as a nice young man far from home and a prey to every desigping creature who sets her eyes on him, especially when he lfi a good looking young man like Alfred. “I thought,” said the other woman, “that he and Lizzie—" “I don’t believe in trying to make matches,” said the middle aged wom- an, firmly. “I wouldn’t dream of in- terfering with fate!

Alfred always was glad to get an invitation to dinner. Afterward I had Lizzie gshow him her book of photographs. There's nothing ltu:’e letting young people get acquain- ed. “Any how, ‘Alfred Quam might have considered himself in luck to get & nice girl like my Lizgie—not but that| sheshe could have her pick of far bet- ter than he! There's no telling what a man will like—and to think that he; should lose his head over that silly, giggling Georgie MacPrang,. who grew | so fend of Lizzie all of a sudden on the evenings she found that Alfred was coming! Lizzie is so unsuspicious that she seemed glad to have Georgle come and make eyes at Alfred till I put a stop to it. T guess I wasn't going to have Lizzie beaten on her own ground. “When he got his runabout I men- tioned that Lizzie was perfectly crazy over autos and that the fresh air was so good for her health. He took her out several times when I invited him to come early for dinner, so they could get a ride afterward. but it wasn’t a month before that Georgie MacPrang was driving the runabout with her own hands and smiling condescending- 1y when she passed our house! “You don’t know what I suffered at the hands of that Georgie MacPrang, Mrs. Garver! TI'd ask Alfred out for a nice little family game of caras and he’d have an engagement and the next day Georgie would drop in and tell what a fine time she and Alfred had at the theatre the night before! “He was perfectly nice to Lizzie and if she dropped into the coal office near closing time, as it was perfectly natur- al for her to do. since it was her father’s office, Alfred would usually bring her home. Don’t push yourself, I told Lizzie. ‘Only don’t be backward ebout showing him that he's popular,| with you! That flatters a man—hav- ing him think you like him and are too modest to show it!” “Just as T had arranged to have Al- fred take his summer vacation at the same time we did and be our guest at the cottage we were going to rent, in comes Georgie MacPrang with a solitaire as big as a paving stone, all smiles and applied blushes and throws herself on Lizzie's neck and says she must tell her first, because it was through her that she and Alfred found each other. “fsn’t that enough to make a woman give up in despair, Mrs, Garver? Not that I'd have dreamed of trying to force Alfred or Lizzle in each other's direction—not me—but being a junior partner and, of course, what's her father’'s will be Lizzie’s some day, and then Alfred would have had it all— and his nice automobile and he is so good looking—and to think that silly Georgie MacPrang—" “Maybe something will happen,” said her friend, comfortingly. ‘Lizzie may yet be glad she didn’t get him—" “My goodness!” said the middle aged woman emphatically. “Why, my Liz- zie wouldn’t ve had Alfred Quam, not if he'd begged her on his knees!”— Chicago News. * CASTORIA For Infants and Children, The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signatu.e of NOTICE GENERAL STATUTES OF STATE OF CONN., SECTION 1288, REGU- | LATING CELEBRATION FOURTH OF JULY.
