Having made up his mind as to the needs of the state and satisfied himself as to the efficiency of the incumbents of office whose terms expire or of the qualifi- cations of men for new appointments, there is no need of delay and the encouragement of a large list of office seekers. Such is to be gathered by the man- ner in which he has been making his selection of state officials and members of commissions. His reappointment of Dr. D. R. Lyman of the Gaylord farm sanatorium to the tuberculosis com- mission, though his term does not run out until the first of July, is not as significant in this regard as his recent reappointment of two members of the compensation commission whose' terms have a year or more to run, but it cannot but meet with genuine approval from all sections of the state Dr. Ly- man is the man for the place and his reappointment is only what might have been expected. Whethér this carries any significance as to the governor's attitude upon the proposition to make this a single head- ed commission or to consolidate it with any -other state board remains to be seen. Though it would in no way pre- vent a change if the legislature con- siders it advisable, vet it is possible to surmise that in the opinion of the governor the duties in connection with ‘his important tuberculosis work can ‘oest be done under present methods, THOSE WHO FAIL TO VOTE. Many suggestions have been made for new legislation which would bring the voters to the polls on election day. It is rightly felt that if the voting power is worth having it is worth using and Governor Brumbaugh of Pennsylvania has propesed ths tax- ing of all voters two dollars each, the money to be returned in two install- ments, one-half when a voter regis- ters and the remainder when he votes, the money - otherwise to go to the state. Even though it should not be neces- sary, the idea results from the belief that a large number of the voters who fail :to exercise their right would be far more interested in public affairs and. come nearer to being a voter in fact as well as in name, if some such method was put into operation. Even though two dollars is a small amount it would unquestionably influence a sreat many who are perfectly able to get out and to the polls to discharge their duty, but who at the present time are inclined to stay at home. Provision would of course have to be made for the sick and the aged and those who might be a sufficient distance away from home on election Mday, but there is no state but what can appreciate the desir- ability of some step that would pre- vent the utter disregard for the vot- ing privilege, after having secured it. The results of the failure to Vote should be sufficient to spur on those who are interested in good government—some- thing which should appeal to every voter—but the continued staying away rfmo the polls justifies a tax or the loss of the right. LOVE IN THE NAVY. It may sound a bit strange for the head of a department of the govern- ment where duty and discipline mean so much to declare that he would have 2 young naval officer marry the young woman of his choice despite the rules and restrictions, but Secretary Daniels of the navy department will receive widespread approval in the support which he has given to the action of the young naval officer whom he would reinstate. Because he married the girl he loved contrary to the regulations at the time Austin was dismissed follow- ing his graduation from Annapolis. He of course established a precedence in evading the rules which might be looked upon with much seriousness concerning - his further obedience in the service, or the effect which it might have upon others. Thus for the good of the service and the discipline re- quired of all naval academy graduates, he was made an example of. How wise the restriction was \gainst such a marriage is indicated A\ by the actlion which has since been taken removing such a rule. Whether the Austin case or something else re- sulted in the discarding of the regu- lation the young officer did nothing but what is allowable today. Thus it is not the belittling of discipline or the rules of this important department when Secretary Daniels declares that he should be reinstated. There is no reason why he should not have the benefit of the changed conditions. OPPORTUNITY ONLY IS SOUGHT. That the raising of cattle in this state has been neglected because it is being done on a larger scale and un- der different conditions elsewhere does not serve to prevent a person from entering that business. Because sheep raising is not carried on as extensively as it was at one time, it does not fol- low that it cannot be done at a profit and therefore ought not to be en- gaged in. Connecticut has not got to the point where it attempts to reg- ulate an industry on the basis of the pyofit or loss that may or may not follow. Yet the New Britain Herald in dis- cussing the bill to permit the raising of deer for the market says: “It does not seem as if the argument that deer should be raised for market the same as cattle and sheep will prevail be- cause the latter cannot be done in this state at a profit. There would be nothing gained by adding another unprofitable business to those already known.” The fact of the matter is that it is not a question as to whether the in- dustry will be a profitable one or not that is before the general assembly. It is a question of abating a nuisance and at the same time permit those who are in a position to do so, or have the ineWnation, to turn deer rais- ing into an industry. There are at the present time too many deer in Con- necticut. They are nevertheless pro- tected. Whether or mnot a short or long season which would permit them to be hunted is passed there is no good reason which should stand in the way of raising deer as a means of contrib- uting to the meat supply. It will be quickly found out whether it is profit- able or not, but that should not stand in the way of an opportunity to en- gage in such a business. THE “ARCH CONSPIRATOR.” At the present time when an Amer- ican passport means so much to a citizen of this country who may be abroad and the duty rests so heavily upon this country to see that the rights Americans shall not be placed der suspicion through impo- sition upon the methods used here for granting such certificates of citizen- ship, interest centers about the trial and conviction of three young men who had conspired to take advantage of this government. Two were found guilty and sen- tenced to less than a year in jail and the third, who confessed and made possible the conviction of the others, was given sixty days. There was rea- son for the difference in the sentences and there unquestionably was a reason for imposing no severer sentences upon the two convicted and a statement which cannot be overlooked is that made by counsel for Stegler, when he declared that “the arch conspirator” is immune from arrest. Therein les the excuse for dealing with the stool- pigeons as the court did. There was less respensibility on their part than upon the “arch conspirator” who by virtue of his office is beyond the arm of the law. That the brains of this scheme to undermine the American passport sys- tem and use it as a means of striking at an enemy, regardless of the stand of neutrality which this country has taken cannot be prosecuted does not mean that he must be tolerated. If, as counsel for one of the accused claims, the promoter of the scheme is an attfiche of a foreizn embassy his recall should be demanded as he must be considered a danger as long as he remains in this country. It is a step the government is not likely to overlook. EDITORIAL NOTES. Official spring has arrived but the anticipation far exceeded the realiza- tion. General Scott has brought in the renegade Plute Indian and again the country says Great Scott. The passage of the Dardanelles is going to be one of the interesting parts of the war’s history. Austria may be playing for time with Italy but for the latter coun there is far more at stake. Those who let the first fly get by out of sympathy never experience any return expression of gratitude.

The present general assembly proving that Friday sessions are not only possible, but that they are the means of disposing of much business. The kaiser says “Odessa must never become a Hamburg.” Is it possible he is just awakening to the possibilities to follow the opening of the Darda- nelles? The backer of that bill before the New York legislature which would put all the rrisoners except murderers on parole must have been thoroughly im- pressed by Cole Blease.

Steve brought the letter containing the tidings, and an invitation to the funeral, when he came home to supper. 1 _was sorry, of course, for I was fond of grandma, and it had been my habit, before my marriage, to make her a visit every summer. But she was threescore and ten, and quite infirm, and we had been ex- pecting her death for months; con- sequently I was not very greatly shocked. “We must go t0 the funeral, Steven, by all means,” I said, when I had shed a few natural tears; “and, oh, Steve,” I added, “surely she has remembered us in her will?" “Can’t tell, Libbie,” Steve answered, as he buttered his toast; “but I'd advise you not to hope too strongly, lest you be disappointed.” I glanced across the table at his pale, tired face, and my filled with tears. He had to work so hard, my poor Steve, and he was weakly and ailing, and with our united ef- forts it was almost more than we could do -to make ends meet. The bills would run up so fast. “We must do_without meat for supper, Steve,” I had said a month before; and meat was banished, and we had only toast and tea. Steve's best coat was out at the elhows, too, and my one silk was growing rusty; even baby was getting shabby and threadbare. If Grandma St. Aubyn had only left us something. “Steve,” I cried, my heart in a flut- ter, “she must have remembered me She used to be fond of me when Iwent | to_Seaview.” “Bat your supper, Lib. and mind Grandma St Aubyn's laughed Steve. But the toast choked me. “I can’t help thinking of it, Steve” I said. “What a help to us a few hundred pounds wculd be.” . Steve laughed and munched his toast. “You should have a new suit ou and-out first thing, Steve.” “Don’t count your chickens before they’re hatched, Libbie. “And baby should have an embroid- ered slip and a pink cap, and we'd get a wicker carriage to ride her in the park, wouldn't we, Steve?” “Certainly, if we had the money, but we haven't.” 0; but grandma wouldn't forget us?” “There's no telling, Lib.” “Steve,” I called again, as I cleared away the things, “we could pay all the back rent, too, and I'd have for you a nice broiled steak for your supper every night.” “Hush, little woman, and get ready for bed, and don't bother your brains over Grandma St. Aubyn’s will. Wait till you hear it read. Meanwhile, we are happy enough as we are, so let's be content.” And Steve came around, with baby in his arms and kissed me. don't will,” THE WAR PRIMER By Natidnal Geographic Socicty The Rhine—First among the com- mercial rivers of civilization, the most importapt geographical feature of Central Europe, a hotly-contested boundary for more than two thousand years, one of the richest among the streams of the world in legend and folklore, and incomparable for the beauties of its course, when one calls to mind the Rhine of Germany, he thinks upon one of the most important elements of the culture and the history of his race, whether he be of its Latin or its Teutonic branch. The Rhine and the Germans came upon the stage of history together, and their fates have been indissolubly bound together ever since. His kindred with this mighty river, Father Rhine, is one of the more conscious elements of each German’s life, and to this his folklore, his literature, his war-songs, his opera, and his blood-offerings have testified. Few geographical features have af- fected the conscious life of a race so deeply as has the German Rhine. “Rising in the highest Alps in Central Europe, the Rhine reaches the North Sea after a journey of 850 miles, and the last part of its course is through a lowland whose surface is below the tides’ crest. The river gathers its water at the base of melt- ing glaciers, plunges over great rock messes toward its lower levels, cuts through the wildest mountain valleys, traverses a wonderful high, broad plain and, then, entering its famous gorge, wanders through exquisite panoramas, through a lane everywhere mantled with ruins of historic castles, abbeys, churches, and every foot of its way celebrated by legend or history. After emerging from its gorge, flows through a plain where powerful steel, textile and chemical industries center, Through Germany and Holland, the Rhine forms the principal water avenue of Central and Western Europe, and an enormous commerce i3 handled through its ports. “The Rhine is international. It is divided between Switzerland, Germany and Holland. That part of the river which lies in Germany, 450 miles in length, has been most disputed. The French have laid claim to its left bank on the grounds that the Rhine formed the boundary line of Roman Gaul. Though Roman Empire reached out beyond the broad Rhine, the river formed, nevertheless, its effective barrier against the north barbarians. Hcwever, when the realm of Charl- emagne was divided and the bounda- ries of Verdun established, the Rhine became wholly the property of Ger- and France early began ner ream back again. Complete success crowned this policy under the Napole- onic Empire, the Rhine became once more the boundary of Gaul. The Ger- mans reassumed sovereignity of their beloved Father Rhine after 1871, and In the present war the possession of the historic river is one of the most critical questions. “The Rhine, like a mighty tree in form, receives its waters from count- less tributaries, .and gives them up to the sea through innumerable offshoots. Its_principal source fssues from gla- cial fce 7,271 feet above the sea with- in the confines of the most independent A CONCEALED TREASURE I dreamed all night long of Grandma St. Aubyn's legacy. At one time, it was a great heap of chinking gold, at another it was ropes of shimmering pearls. Morning came, and we made early start for Seaview. The old-fashioned house, standing on the summit of a hill that overlooked the sea, was all closed and silent, and in the musty parlor grandma lay in state. Poor grandma! When I saw her plucid old face and folded arms, I wept in zenuine sorrow. forgetful of my own selfish interests. The funeral over, we were gathered in the dusty old library, and there the will was read. The legacies were numerous. A hun- dred pounds to one, and more or less to another; Seaview to a nephew, the honsehold 'effects to a niece, and to self, Libbie, wife of Stephen Holmes, the sum of £20 to buy a mourning ring, and the old harpsichord which stood in_the parlor. “Oh, Steve, it is cruel!” I sobbed, as we started homeward. “Never mind, Libbie,” he eald; shall get along without it.” But it was hard work. Steve got weaker as the winter came on; and one stormy afternoon they sent him home in a carriage. He had fainted at his desk. “I've gone under Libble” he said, with a sad smile. Poor little wife what will you do now?” “Never mind, Steve,” I answered, as I smoothed his pillow and kissed his white lips, “I'll manage somehow, only don’t you worry, dear. I can sew, you know, and the nights are long and baby isn’t a bit of trouble.” But sew as I would, day and night, the bills ran up, and the rent remained unpaid, the doctor’s fees and the apcthecary’s bill taking every penny I could earn. One bitter swinter afternoon the cli- max came. The Jandlord gave us warning to leave. We could ngt occupy the cottage longer, unless tffe back rent was paid. In addition to this, the butcher and grocer both sent in their ills. d Steve was worse. He'll die,” the doctor said, “unless you can take him to a warm climate.” What should I do? I couldn't go into the chamoer where he lay, lest he should read the trouble in my face. So I went into our little parlor, and throw- ing myself on the lounge, sobbed as if my heart would break. Baby crept in after me, and fell to fingering at the old harpsichord. We had brought it home from Sea- view, or, rather, Steve had, for I in- sisted that we should have nothing to do_with it. “No, no, Lib,” he said; “it is grand ma’s gift, and she's in her grave now Tt stood in one corner of our little parlor, gaunt and ancient as grandma herself. It was baby's supreme delight to fin- ger the rusty wires. She fell to work now, running her chubby hands over them. “Don’t 0o-kye, mammy, and Blossy pay oo a song,” she lisped. But I took no heed. With the sure prospect of Steve's death before me, my heart seemed breaking. Blossy twanged the wires, and the winter storm howled outside, and I wept in my helpless woe. Presently a_great crash and a shrill shriek from Blossy started me to my feet. The whole front had given way, and there stood Blossy like a ghost. “Please, mammy, don’t scold Blossy,” she faltered; she only tried to climb o : 1 did not answer, for something caught my eye—a sandalwood boX, long and curiously carved, within the case of the harpsichord. I snatched it an ‘we “For my dear niece, Libble Holmes,” was inscribed on the top, and a tiny silver key shone in the lock. How I got it open T never knew, but it was brimful of crumpled bank bills and broad, golden coins and coils of priceless gems. “Qh, Steve, Steve!” T cried, rushing breathless into his room. “See what I have found!

There was, as all of us can easily remember, some opposition on the part of organized labor tp the es- tablishment of a trade schgol in New Haven. It may be that the manner of management of some such schools elsewhere gave reason for it. But the opposition was diplomatically dealt with, and the city proceeded to the es- tablishment of a trade school which has proved distinctly different.

On its way, the Rhine is fed, directly and indi- rectly, by 12,000 tributaries, and it drains more than 75,000 square miles.
