Agitation and display are alway valuable features in stimulating an interest and enthusiasm in most any subject. They are the first steps for the creation of a desire to emulate I Is through showing what ought to be done and what can be done that amy undertaking is pushed forward te greater development. Such is the alm and purpose of the New England apple exhibition j tof.

It means thwt consideration has been given to the larger interests which are at stake m all such affairs w’ utilitiss. The ich concern pub~ He tying up of the road and the disconfinuance of practically all business not only had its effect upon the traveling publie, but it de- moralized business in that part of the country and meant an untold loss for business men who were in no way as- spciated with either party to the strike, The federal board of mediation and cenciliation have gained an important victery, and every such adjustment only brings out more prominently the vajuable service which it ®ffers and which it is able to render. Each set- tlement of this kind simply brings negrer the time when such corpora- tlons and their employes will imme diately resort to its services when eontroversies arise. Buch is as it was intended and should be. What is wanted is the fairest adjustment which can be secured, and that is not obtain- able through violence or the forcing of the public to shoulder ine greatest losz. The recognition of this fact and the resort to the proper adjustment of the troubles is the only thing, outside of compulsion. which will make such a hazardons issne as a railroad strike fmpossible. SAFETY AT SEA. If anything was required following the Titanic disaster to give emphasis to the need of providing greater safe- ty at sea, it has been furnighed by the series of disasters through fire which has occurred within the past few months The conference of twelve nations which is in session in Eng- land for the consideration and adop- tion of mew international regulations which will be uniform is thus furnish- ed with fresh evidence of the urgency of reform in the matters which they are considering, through the insufi- cient protection which now exists. Each country has given much thought in advance for the overcom- ing of the appareni weak points in fransatlantie travel. The considera- tion of these In general conference should result in the perfecting of a code which will come into universal use because it will be founded upen and result from experiences which de- mand just such aetion. Glaringly set forth has been the need for wireless equipment, the making of the service available at all heurs, the necessity for proper life saving appliances, wa- ter tight compartments, full comple- ment of lifeboats and adequaie pro- vision for fire protection. 'The question of routes and the observauce of the | democratic | sition rules for safety, even at the sacrifice of speed are matters which come un- der the regulation for officers but they are nene the less important. The eonference has the advantage of dealing with pertinent questions and matters which have been feund want- ing instead of those which might be imagined. LEARNING BY INVESTIGATING. A factor, in the granting of inde- pendence to the Philippines, to which little thought may have been given is indicated by the demand of the Moros for an American, not a Pihlippine governor, Such a declaration indi- cates not only the tribal antagonism which is still to be found in the islands to a marked extent. but it shows where one of the important objections to in- dependence lies. While much has been done for the education of the isiand people a great deal more remains to be done and until that is accomplished and they are in a position to consider the welfare of all instead of the tribal interests alone there will be grave danger in attempting to leave them to their own guidance. The knowledge of the existence of such conditioms as well as of the unpreparedness in gen- eral for taking up the reins of self government, forms the basis for the opposition which is manifested to the policy of Independencs within a few years. Those who have become familiar with the sitnation in the islands recognize the magnificent improvement which has been accom- plished under American control, but they llkewise understand equally well the drawbacks which still exist. The experience and investigations of those who are close to the administra- tion are bound to bear out the claims of those who preceded them that there are sufficient and well founded objec- tions to the casting off of the islands. A duty still exists there which must be properly discharged. and with a knowledge .of the speed in education is readily understood that it will not only require proper time, but that independence, dependent thereon, can- not be fixed for any certain date. It is evidently a period for learming for the democrats. it MONEY VS. UNITY. a part money can play and play in political campaigns is well illustrated in Massachusetts where the candidate whose campaign cost him the least was successful and the, one who spent the most ran sec- ond. Governor-elect Walsh spent $1,539. C. S. Bird spent $30.283. Con- gressman Gardner's expenses for election campaign reached $16,5 while Governor F. spent $10,5 These figures do nul include the nmom- ination campaign where A. P. Gard- ner because he had strenuous oppo- spent $17,977. These figures are interesting from the fact that Massachusetis was sup- posed to be operating under the sys- tem which would reduce the cost of politics and running for office. Such hardly seems to bear out the state- ment. The statewide primary does not overcome the pouring in of barrels of What does money to secure {he nomination, when- ever there is sufficient opposition and it is conclusively shown that the in- fluence of money is uncertain where there is a split in the opposition, Mr. Bird had the personality and the money and yet he was not successful. Mr. Gardner operated separately from the party organization and yet he ran many thousand vetes behind the rest of his ticket. In .the light of its cost the effort of Governor Foss becomes a joke. The situation is one which calls as plainly as it could for the amalgama- tion of the majority ranks. It is not the pouring in of money which is go- ing to make the contest of ballots suc- cessful, but the 'standing together in behalf of principles which are sane, safe and sensible. EDITORIAL NOTES.

Why, my dear, there was scarcely room to place your chairefor the programme. The chairs were all taken and lots of ladies sat on the stairs. We had splendid seats and could see everything, They had the middle of the room cleared for the rece party., My dear, I wish you could have beem there and seen it Van Tassel wore a gold gown, with a slit in it that was a wonder of daring. She held up the train by a plece of ribbon or something and every once in so often she would lose the hitching strap and heve to look everywhere for it. To watch her was Pperfectly kiliing, but her gown was a dream.” “I suppose Mrs, Danvers was there in all her glory?" “Was she? My dear, she wore a Ilac outfit that never cost less than $300, hat and all. It was made with a sort of fichu effect and had the skirt draped in thal new way. She had her hair done in the loveliest style. TI'm going to see if I can’t copy it when I get time to practice it “Mrs. Durfee was there, too. She had a perfect ‘love of a hat with two plumes and one of those fancy things that go around something like this. You know. She wore gold slippers, though 1 can’t, thing to boast of. It was a pity she didn't wear a gold anklet. Her dress | was made to wear with onpe.” “At her age! Why, my dear, she must be five years oider than you are.” “Five!” repeated the club woman. “Ten, at the very least. But age has- n’t a thing to do with it I wish you could have seen Mrs. Peester in her black velvet! It was a sight. You know how stout she is and how heavy velvet must nave looked; Somebody ought to tell her not to drape things! all over her.” “Did you see anything new?” “There was a beautiful dress from Paris,” replied the club woman. “My <i<u=r it looked like an Easter | , but y dear, it was wonderful Thal “WePl shade of red, you know, with inlaid medallions and light blue and a little gold trim- ming at the low neck and short sleeves and a red rose at the belt. It was just as tight at the feet as it could be, and ‘the woman who wore it was so clever about walking—sort of putting say her foot is any- | of dark green | one heel over the other toe in fromt, you know. My sister said the woman walked like a lame chicken she saw last summer. “I don’t see how she did it. I wanted to see her get on the car, but, of course she had an autemobile with a low step and I missed {t. My sister says they sit down and roll over and over when they go downstalrs, but of course. she is always making jokes.” “I wish I knew where she got lt in Parfs, 1 have a cousin who is going over gsoon and she wants addresses. Was Miss Tibbits there?” “I should think she was! She came a little late, of course, and she had reason for it. My dear. her dress was light blue silk, one of these new kinds that shimmer, you know. Well, her hat and her slippers and all were the same color and the plumes she wore stood up perfectly straight .and then hooped over perfectly lovely, with pieces cut out here and there. My sister said the plumes looked moth- eaten and she was going home to get some she threw into the waste paper basket to put on her new hat. ‘‘She didn’t like many of the hats we saw, she's so conservative. She said they make most of the women look like Fiji islanders sitting under bam- boo trees. When you come to think of it they do look a little like cocoanut trees, the way they clip them. Doy you | know Mrs. Rugg? “Indeed, I do!” Was she there.” “She surely was. My goodness, I wish you could have seen that -red dress she wore. It was so tight I don’t see how she could sit down and it had | three little wigly trains at the back— | the most stylish thing I ever xaw. | Positively that woman puts everybody in the shade when she dresses up. She was just screamingly fashionable and no mistake. But she was just as kind! Why, she spoks very nicely to half a dozen of the quiet people and I would- n’t have thought it of her. There are always a few of the old fashioned sort that come in cotton crepe or in suits, vou know, to a thing like that and they must feel kind of out of it and | sorry they came without anybody's | adding to it by snubbing them, even it it does take courage to single out the plain folks. My sister said they prob- ably came to hear the man who ad- | dressed them. instead of the woman | who dressed.” “Oh, did somebody talk? Who was he? It seems to me that I heard he was some great man,” “I believe he was,” said the club- woman, ‘but 1 have forgotten what he talked about and also who he was. My memory is so poor.”—Chicago News. | i | i i i | | i LETTERS TO THE EDITOR What About Plew? Mr. Editor: While I glory in the spunk of the women of Connecticut | who are banding themselves together to save (if possible) the life of Bes- sie Wakefield, what about Plew? Mrs. Wakefield is just as guilty as Plew, and Plew has the same rights as Mrs. Wakefield The sex part of the controversy is all wrong. It is all unreasonable. Even the advocates of woman suffrage who are in the lead in the fight for the life of Bessie Wake- field, appear to lose sight of the fact that if woman is to stand on polit- ical equality with man (and I believe she should) sghe must also be willing to suffer the same punishment for the same crime. It may turn out that Bessie Wake- field will die a martyr to a law of the dark ages that still exists in Con- necticut. Bessie Waket;eld's legal death may be the last strain on the already fast weakening chain that yokes our state to the darker es'and their in- human punishments. Life that we cannot give, we have no right to take. Time and time again in different states and countries some new evidence “has shown up just in time to save us from becoming legal murderers, We have six states in this union of ours that do not take life. Maine on the extreme east had more murders committed within her borders in the last five years of hanging than any {wenty successive years since in spite of increased population, Kansas, hot headed, bleeding Kan- sas in the very center of the country had just seven times as many murders in the last five years of hanging, as | since. Washington and Oregon on the { wild northwestern slope have fewer { murders than any other northwestern | state and they do not hang or still | worse, experiment with electricity. Last, but not least, is little thickly populated Rhode Island. This little neighbor of ours abolished killing hu- man beings after a mistake had been made, and according to the population Rhode Island has fewer murders than any other state in the union. These facis go far to prove that hanging does inn good, but it does do harm. i To begin with the personnel of our courts are lowered just the moment a prospective juryvman you approve of capital Man after man is set aside whose very intelligent appearance tells you would make a high class juror, while the man who does jury duty, or has le or no interest in anyone but him- is accepted. I don't mean to convey the idea that the lower grade juror is always selected, but I do claim and everyone knows it, that some of our best men, men who should be selected to serve on a j are passed every time if a murder case is in prospect, : they do not believe in_ tak life. There are other rea easons why the whole sv fmurder is wrong and if akefield's death i rds advaneing our state s, then it can be truly in a mysterious way perform. B.

His Packer, OTHER VIEW POINTS People as a rule in New Britain like | moving pictures and many attend the theater for this purpose alone, they frequently having opportunity to see some of the best of stage artists, who, because of the high price of admis- sion cannot be seen in the actual work of their profession in life. Arguments of this kind are among the strongest in favor of the movies.—New Britain Herald. How two young men, studenis law, and churchmen, brought up in the civilized and enlightened town of Putnam, could go directly from church with the intent of setting fire to lum- ber yards and houses, desiroying the property of unsuspecting men and en- dangering life, is a question for psy- chologists to answer. To the ordinary man it seems unaccduntable.—Middle- town Sun. English scientists have reasoned out that man came from the ape as a re- sult of his craving for flesh and that his evolution from a wild animal of arboreal] haunts to an intelligent ani- mal with a complicated- and wonder- ful mentality followed his determina- tion to quit cocoanuts and go after flesh. Hence vegetarianism must be a step backwards towards the ape, de- spite the fact that the more clvilized of | men become the less meat they eat— Waterbury Republican. Senator Brandegee, the man whose | term expires, has a right to consider i himself the most logical candidate. By the advantage and prestige of being in, he has certain elements of strength. He might have been a more energetic sepator, but he has antagonized no- body, his public acts have been pru- dent, and some of them have been very important. He is certainly entitled to constderation, unless a man ap- pears of unmistakably better qualities, to the nomination.—New Haven Reg- ister. EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS ATTACK. We all know people whose defenses are just strong enough to withstand the average attack, and nothing more jthan an average attack ever tries them. Their hopor is not gravely tempted, and they remain honest. They are not driven by passion into breaches of the moral law. They feel no temptation to be specially eruel or unjust; their ideal of truthfulness is not tested by some sudden extremity which seems to offer no outlet but a Hle. Circumstances are easy with them: their task is never greater than their ability.
