Bolles Montville, through being made the ry of the tidy sum of $75,000 for saving the life of a child ‘When Mr, Boiles pr vented a girl drowning twenty-eight years ago in the Thames river, it was with no thought of reward. As a matter of fact there probably wasn't time to give thought to such a matter. He acted upon the impulse of the moment and dld what the situation required in the : Dellef that it was what others under 5 like circumstances would also have done.

To him it was a closed incident years ago. Time enough has inter- vened for the forgetting of the rescue mnd the rescuer on the part of the family had there been that disposition, and while it may be a stroke of good fortune that Mr. Bolles has’lived to learn what was thought of his aet and to enjoy tho bemefit of such hand- some interest as his deed has earned, It not only proves that reward comes to those who wait, but it comes to those who wait without expectations. ONTO ITS JOB. What the people are looking for con- ptantly from transportation companies s service, and whether it is in the passenger or frelght department, it Is bound to get recognition when per- formed” It can be readily recognized that the handling of the large crowd which attends the Yale-Harvard foot- ball game is by no means an easy task wnd that it was measurably increased this year by the greater seating ca- pacity whish was afforded by the new ‘ale bow)l. That the New Haven did without accident or delay indicates ow thoroughly it is alive to the in- -of its patrons. It fs os sgely ssid by tte X Vork Tribune B0 botter the New Haven is LEAVING VERA CRUZ.

Betsey.” command- od Mr. Yorke, wit ity, “Atn't 1 told you time ‘while I live ghere won't be any of this Toolishness? * If ‘you're keeping up year on ac- t as well this country’s interest and responsi-|Th bilities in Mexieo. Because this country has slways stood for peace in that republic, lend- ing by the occupation of Vera Cruz the influence of its army and navy to such an end, there is criticism of the withdrawal of the troops at the present time. Such is based upon the fact that anything but peace prevails in Mexico now, and the contention is that we have not accomplished what was undertaken. It is considered that we have not discharged our duty from out own point of view and that we are sacrificing the advantage which cost lives and money to obtain, while the possibility of further intervention along the same line, if not more ex- tensive, has not been overceme. It is a fact, nevertheless, that the presence of United States soldlers at Vera Cruz has never been pleasing to Mexicans. All factions desired their removal and this government having been inclined to pursue its course for peace with the least friction and real- izing that the holding of the port was useless as far as peace is concerned, determines to withdraw and leave the situation to the mercies of watchful waiting. That policy bag been in the balance for a long time and with in- dications that it will remain there some time longer, but if it results in the prevention of a great loss of life it will have its recompense. COLORADO'S LESSON. In the statement which comes from Colorado {o the effect that the gov- ernor and the governor-eleét are working together for the purpose of restoring _effective state government whereby law and order can be upheld in the mining region of that common- wealth by the enforcement of the laws under state authority, there is hope that Colorado will n emerge {rom its distressing position. Ever since the trouble in the mining regions reached the point of violence the inefficiency of the state, in the maintenance of its authority as such, has been subject to extensive criti- cism. d itself unable to as- sumo sonsibilities which de- volved upon it. Conditions grew worse under its efforts until it was neces- sary to call in federal troops to quell the disturbances. Regardless of the questions involved between the miners and the operators there was a duty which should have been performed by the state .in the maintenance of peace and the afford- ing of proper protection to life and Property, but this the state was un- able to do. It revealed a condition of affairs which reflected seriously upon the government of Colorado, and it Is well if it has brought tbe people and the authorities of that state to a real- ization of its actual conditions and the need for a change. The situation was the outcome of a too lax regard for law and order and if at this late date Colorado can arouse public sentiment to the point where it can elevate itself from its position it will hasten the end of a tremendously valuable lesson. EDITORIAL NOTES. It seems most unseasonable to com- plain about mild winter weather. The departing American troops said not au revoir to Vera Cruz, but good night. Every day brings nearer the time when the scrape of the snow shovel will be music to many ears. The one decisive victory of the European war appears to be Russia’s victory over John Barleycorn. Villa is persistently headed for Mexico City despite what he knows has happened to all his predecessors. —_——— It begins to look as if the Poles were getting to a point where they can fully appreciate the position of Belgians in this war, At the rate Great Britain taxes it- self for war it would take less than two weeks for Connecticut to wipe away its indebtedness, It is useless to compare the time it takes to make a man a soldier and that which is required to place a sol- dier in the casualty list. By the manner in which Hartford mechanics are eager for work 1t doesn't indicate the. busiest period that city ever experiemced. If this country is being so tremen- dously favored by the war perhaps Mr. Schwab can throw.some light on the new war tax just imposed.

They are becoming half-hearted Russiahs and Germans, for Russia and Germany have done all in their power to assim- ulate the well nigh unassimulable Pole. In Galicia, however, with a constitu- tion of their own, under a perplexed and lenjent central _government, & consciousness of old Poland remains, and has grown in intensity in recent times. Hemmed in by Russia on the north and east by the suspicious border patrol, naturally cut off from Hun- gary on the south and southwest by the Carpathians, barely touching its sovereign Austria, on the west, the Galician Pole has been left to him- self, to the single-handed soiution of his own difficulties, political, economic and 'administrative. With little o prod him into violent industrial exer- tion, he has coatinued the past into the present, with its quaint customs, its devotion to agriculture, and its poverty-stricken idealism. Galicia. slopes away from the Car- pathlans to meet the boundless Rus- slan plain on the north. Its southern uplands are devoted largely to graz- ing grounds for horses, cattle and sheep. In the mifidle lands, cereals and sugar-beets are srown. -The crownland is lgl’sely populated, and in many parts nds are very fertile, S0 that more than enough of bread- stuffe, meat and other products are raised for home consumption, pernfit- ting the exportation of cereals and meat products in considerable amounts mainly to Germany. Galicla is Poland, ancient Poland, and Hke the Fatherland of old, its masses are miserably poor, while its clases are very rich- One-third of its tillable Jands are held by.great land- owners in estates of more than 1,400 acres, and one-half are held in blocks. of 14 acres or less. Galicla is agri- cultural. It has little mineral wealth, and less industry. Much of its 30,821 square miles are morass, sand or for- est land, and all else is given over to farming. 'True in the Carpathians are found richest oil flelds in Europe, and good zinc mines and rock salt quarries are worked. Still, its min- eral wealth has small significance. The forests, which are estimated to cover one-quarter of the whole surface of Galicia, contribute to a large lumber trade with Germany. Most of its manufactured articles are the products of home industry, though there is a begininng of a tex- tile industry and its oil refineries are important. “About 7 per cent of its people depend directly upon - the soil. They are mostly illiterate, small far- mers and day laborers, who pass tho severe winters at home, and regular- 1y leave their wives to work the farm Galicla_is practicallly self-govern- ing, the Vienna government interfer- ing but little in Polish affairs.

Mr. Editor: The small town of Franklin is not the only town that has been represented in the general assembly by youth. Its representative- elect passed his 22d birthday Nov. 11th. Youth with average ambition and in- telligent good sense and good princi ples may be as great an honor to h town, county and state as a man of mature age and fluent oratory who wears a cloak. In the session of 1837 the town of Sprague sent a senator 24 years old. In the session of 1389 Con- necticut’s present senator in congress, then but 24 years, was a representative from the small {own of New Londen. That same vear Bozrah sent a repre- sentative 2 years old. Comwall, in Litchfield couaty, sent a representa- tive 22 years old. Bolton, in Tolland county, sent a 22 year old representa- tive. Coventry at the same seesion as represented by a youth of 22 years, making _four representatives cars old. In the session of 1899 B. .W. Higgins, then 24 vears, was a_representative from the small town of Norwich. Connecticut has since sent him as representative to congress. In the session of 1911 New Milford, in Litchfleld county, sent a baby lawyer of only 21 vears to be a lawmaker. In the session of 1913 New Milford sent the same lawyer of tender Danbury was_represented by a ¥ of 22 years. Now that Voter and zer: bave put the Youth from Franklin wise as to his duty, he no doubt will be able to Improve conditions. A SOREHEAD.
