When it came to the consideration of the Dill before the legislature rel- ative to the licensing of clubs, the house,was not guided entirely by the action of the senate. In both the gen- eral belief that the state should receive a license from such orsanizations where liquor is dispensed prevails, but while the senate considered that $50 would be a proper amount, it is the idea of the majority in the lower body that that fee should be $100, a figure which is_not at all unreasonable, In view of the fact that there are 1,000 such clubs in the state today and there is no telling to what number they will g0 as the result of the increase n the amount which is to be required in the future for the regular liquor licenses. Especially important was the action of The house in eliminating that sec- tion of the bill which provides for such licenses in no license towns. That question would appear to have been definitely determined by the respec- tive towns when the question of li- censs was voted upon. Inasmuch as local option prevails the voice against license should be upheld wherever it predominates and such is apparently the belief of the legislators. It is well that the house saw fit to let the judg- ment of the townspeople stand as to Whether it favored liquor sold in the community or not, and not convey the power to some other authority to over- ride it. The need of placing a state license upon such clubs has long pre- valled and it is believed that the $100 fee is a wise one, and one that will meet with the approval of the people. MUSTN'T NEGLECT NAVY, ‘While this country has been assured in a recent statement. from the secre- tary of the navy that this country is making large additions to this im- portant department wf the natjon’s defense and has a greater number of vessels under way at the present time than there was at this time two years ago, his declaration that the new ships of our navy outclass those which are being added to foreign navies at this time is not so convineins. Secretary Daniels finds it necessary to supplement his first statement by another dealing especially with this point in which he endeavors to up- hold the claim that the 14-inch guns on the latest American ship are su. perior to the 15-inch guns on the last ship that Great Britain has sent forth. ‘This he does by maintaining that the range of the British guns is too great for effective battling and because there is a_greater number of 14-inch guns on this country’s vessel than there are big guns on the Britlsh, but with -greater range and greater bursting ef- fect obtained by the Eritish guns and shells and the greater speed of the British ship the whole contention would appear to be a matter of sup- position. It is a question with which the experts will take pleasure in deal- ing and on which even they are un- likely to agree. This country, however, ought to have the benefit of the best advice thereon for it cannot afford to neglect the efficiency of its naval vessels In any particular. To get the equal in fight- ing strength is the only way of main- taining & worthy navy and getting the Droper protection for the outlay. THE LAWSON CASE, It was not to be expected that the deelsion of the Colorado court and jury in convicting and sentencing to life imprisonment John Lawson on the charge of murder would be allowed to €0 unappealed. Every effort will be made to get him free, even as there was to obtain a verdict of not gullty in the trial just finished. Lawson was a member of the in- ternational executive board of the United Mine Workers and as such was chargedswith inciting to riot the mine workers of Colorado which resulted In the killing of the deputy sheriff at Ludlow. It was not claimed that Law- ¥on fired the shot which took the sher- Iffs life, but that the responsibility Tor it rested with Lawson through his Retions as the leader of the riot. Many are the instances where lead- just such a part as that which aid. are the instigators 1905, _average . May J... ~, GREAT BRITAIN'S PROBLEM. It must have been apparent.to the advocates when they decided that it 'was necessary to seek a,curtaliment of liquor consumption in Great Britaln that they faced a tremendous problem, and the opposition which they are ex- periencing may de mo more than they anticipated, but it, must be evident if proper thought is given to it by the people in geperal that the carrying out of the demais is necessary if the country s going to emerge vie- torious from the great conflict. It is a contest in which a great deal de- pends upon the efficiency of those at home. They are not only expected to provide volunteers for army opera- tions in the fleld, but they are a very necessary part to the upkeep of the country’s operations at home in pro- viding the prompt and proper support to the army and navy in the produc- tion of munitions and the making of repairs. The opposition to the prohibition that is called for is due to the sordid claims of self-interest and privilege. National intergsts are not given prop. er consideration when national inter- ests should come first and are at stake- It isn't so much a question of wheth- er one belleves in probibition or not at this point, it is a question of what is best for the country. Great Britain faces a peculiar sit- uation. Those who ‘are in a position to know declare that the greatest ene- my of the country today is drink, and yet while there is a great display of patriotism in recruiting for the fight- ing ‘of other enemies there is a pe- culiar lack of it when it comes to put- ting down this one where sacrifice of appetite rather than life is called for. HAYTI’'S FINANCES, ‘Whether the new attempt which Is to be made by this government to straighten out the tangled financial conditions of the republic of Hayti amounts to any more than the last rests with the future. That it has hopes that it will is plainly Indicated by the endeavor-of the administration to bring it about by the sending of another representative to that island which has for a lans time been strug- sling along under a big debt and fail- ing to give proper consideration to its existing financial condition, This country, which from its position takes & deep interest in the affairs of that republic, understands its short- comings and it is anxious to extend ‘a helping hand for the good it can do the government of that island. Its purpose is to bring about an arrange- ment whereby it will take over the collection and supervision of the cus- toms revenues of that country, place and keep it on a sound business basis and prevent the squandering of its money. It is one of the rich island republics if there Were a proper regard for and icked the prettiest result of her ef- and pinned a labelled “Rae" on its handle. She flew out of the house, ran around the corner of th next street, and after looking cau- tiously about, stole up the front steps of Rae's house. As the front rooms were lighted Polly knew that no one was hiding be- hind dark curtains to see her and catch her before she found a safe hid- ing place. She had picked the darkest corner of the plazza, which extended from the front door to half way around the side of the house as the best place to hide. For no ome would suspect her of hiding as near the door as that, Having rung the bell, she found her corner, and with fast beating heart, she waited the outcome. Polly heard the front door open, and then a mas- culine voice followed by Rae’s voice, They were soon out on the pilazza, talking excitedly. “Oh, isnt it a beauty! Il bet Polly hung it. Quick! we must catch her, you go that way and I'll go this-way,” Rae exclaimed, There was & sound of bounding foot- steps on the front steps and Polly gasped as the owner of the masculine voice darted by the de of the house. This was more than she had counted on, to have an un- known, energetic young man, (for she had decided that was young) on her trail. Who was he, anyway? It seemed ages to Polly as Rae and the young man hurried around the house this way and that w: ‘Where can she be?" asked Rae, as the unknown young man came around the house for the fifth time, “I think that whoever it is has gone home and didn't wait to be found,” answered the young man, ‘Oh, but that is half of the fun; that would be a mean thing to do, complained Rae. “It's Polly, and she is_hiding around here somewhere. T'll bet she hears me this very minute. And Rae darted off to take up the search again. As for the young man, he stood still and looked about. Finally, he said: “H'm,” and started for the piazza. Polly’s heart stood still as she realized he was coming up there, and with a reason too. What right had he bunt- ing for her? He was on the steps now What should she do? If she stayed, she would be caught anyway. If she tried to escape he would see her. It were better to try it than stay to be cought, thought Polly. So she moved slowly’ along the side of the piazza that led to the side steps. When she reached them, she gave a jump and landed on the ground, just as her pur- suer came around the corner of the Do You Feel Well All Day? No, not all day.

To her su she received a kiss somewhere betwen her right eye and her nose, “Let me how—how dare you? You wretch,” she epluttered, as nearly exhausted, she tried to escape. ‘Certainly, you may go,” sald the “wretch,” as he loosened his grasp on her. “¥ou see, when a little maid hangs a May et for a young man, sh must expect the penalty if she is caught,” he continued. “The very idea—I never hung a May basket for you—I don't even know who you are. It was for Rae, and the nam is right on it," snapped Polly, and she glared at the offending young man. But it was too dark for him to be im- pressed. ‘While this scene had been taking Lecture Dr. Kurte Schiog place, n;; m;& ;eh;l:’ned tr%m her |§ - ficulty stringy mucus.

Seeing that Rae was too convulsed to explain, the unknown stepped up to Polly and said: “The fact is, Miss er- er-er- Polly, my name is the same as my cousin’s, I reached the door first, found the May basket with my name on it, thought I had a good right to help find the giver and after finding her exact the usual penalty for such offences.

But ehe thought, if his name is the same as Raes it isn't spelled the same anyway. Here was a chance to corner him. “If your name is the same as Rae's it isn't spelled the same, so you had no right to claim a May basket with R-A-E on it Polly said, scornfully. “Quite right,” but maybe you didn't spell the name right. _Some people don’t you know. Once more 1 apolo- gize for claiming something that was not intended for me, and for punishing the giver. Will you forgive me?' he said, very contritely. Polly pretended to be very seriously thinking before she answered roguish- ly: “T will forgive, but I cannot for- set.’ To herself she eaid: “I am glad he Corse is at a loss to account for this phenomenon, although he attributes it in part to the cessation of the “night life” in the large cities of Russia.

He saw her, and with one bound, vaulted the plazza rail and reached her before she could longevity of the inhabitants has al- ready increased with the return to reg- ular habits. Mr. Corse observes that out of 835,000 insured only 100 have got the May basket, after all” And she was glad the darkness hid her blushes.—Boston Post, Stories of Battling With the Kurds, Not all the Christians lacked the courage or means for self-defence. At the desolate Catholic Mission at Hos- rova, where forty-eight victims of the massacre were buried, Elizabeth Mar- cara, an Armenian girl, told how she and young David Ishmu battled with use of its income. As long as irre- sponsible officlals continue the policy of waste and a disregard for the ob- ligations to other countries which it bas incurred by large loans conditions can be expected to go from bad to worse. The time has arrived when there should be a check placed there- on and this country can and is willing to help it do it, even as it has at San Domingo. The greater security which will result thereby should make its appeal both to Haytl and to its creditors. EDITORIAL NOTES. John Barleycorn declares with much gusto to Great Britain that his hat is in the ring. —_— The man on the corner says: Money never bothers a spendthrift for any great length of time. —_—— No city that has ever tried it found that it could do all the cleaning up that was advisable in one week, The loss by the flood and the num- ber of people killed thereby in Texas reads like war statistics from Europe. el s e From such bombs as New York has been getting there is no charge that an aeroplane or a long range gun was used. — s Many an amateur finds that a watch- ed garden is slow to respond, but Keep Off the Grass signs spring up over night, B May is just now demonstrating that it is mever safe to open up the sum- mer cottages on the strength of a few warm days in April. Times da change. A California man who is suing for divorce has been granted a weekly allowance pending the result of the suit. The wounding of Villa by one of his subordinates simply demonstrates that it is never safe to place too much dependence in your Mexican friends. In the city of Richmond the indif- ference of the voters has resulted in an inerease of 52 per cent. in city ex- penses. It is a situation which pre- valls in too many municipalities. —_— Ambassador Von Bernstorff declares he was not the author of the mote to which name was signed, or respon- sible for the action he took. He has every reason to be ashamed of it. When Lord Kitchener declared that the war would not commence until the first of May, it was supposed hée ‘was speaking for the allles alone, but the enemy appears to have taken the hint. ‘When Charles S, Bird of Massachu- setts declines the call of former Gov- ernor Foss to become the republican candidate for governor, his declination reads as though it made a difference who was calling him. The statement is made that the silk hat went out of fashion long asgo among the cab drivers. All of which ‘will be admitted after one glance at a funeral procession, but why wouldn't it be an excellent idea for the hack owners to insist upen some uniformity as to clothes and hats on such occa- the Kurds. Her story later was amply confirmed. “When the Kurds burst the village gates,” eaid Miss Marcara, “we took rifles and mounted to the roof. I fired, eighty shots. The Kurds were forced to” withdraw outside the village wall There I killed two and David two, Later we killed four more, one of whom was the chief. The Kurds abandoned their plunder and carried off their dead. The battle lasted three hours. The death of their chief caused the Kurds to flee. We came from the roof and recovered the things t-e Kurds had left behind them. Re-cn- forced, I fled with my relatives. We saw_the Kurds engaged in the pillage of Hafgvan and fired on them, but they escaped with their booty. “Near Dilman we were attacked by fifteen Kurds, of whem I killed one. After the Russians defeated the Kurds and Turks near Khoi a soldier told the Persian’ governor about me and he sent for me and offered the chieftain- ship of a regiment of Turks if I would fight the Russians.” Isaac Yonan, a graduate of the Louisville, Ky.,' Theological Seminary, was among the refugces fleeing from Azerzaijan province. He kept a diary of the happenings during the exodus. This relates that among the refugecs from Urumiah was an old man and his two daughters-in-law, with their six children, three of thém babes in arms. The oldest child was nine years old. They were eight days on the way, averaging twenty miles daily through the mud. The old man became stuck fast in a pool and at his own request was Jeft there to die. One woman gave birth to a child during the march and an hour afterwards was again plodding along with the other refugees. Two of the children were lost in a caravansary, but were taken up by Cossacks along with forty other per- sons. The soldiers displayed great humanity, often giving their horses to the women, One young woman carried her father for five days, when he died. A woman was found dead by the roadside with her infant, still living, wrapped up in her clothing. John Mooshie, 3 graduate of Colgate University and editor of the Urumiah Star, related a tale of pandemonium which occurred when 200 vehicles be- came stalled in a pass and which con- tinued until Russian soldiers straight- ened out the tangle. Most of the beasts of burden perished later in the mud_flats or were sold for a song to the Moslem villagers. In a single day twenty persons died in the railway station at Makhitcha- van, across the border in Russia. The entire casualties agsregated hundreds, People died unheeded and unmourn- ed: in fact those who died seemed to be envied by the living. Effect of War on Poor. War falls heavily on the poor in London. Food and coal have steadily adyanced in price and many husband: and fathers have given up compara- tively fair wages for a shilling a day and the King’s uniform, with only a small government allowance for the support of those left behind. Typical examples of the strusgles of soldier’s dependents have been pub- lished in one of the London news- papers. In one case a soldier's wife seys_that where she previously paid out $3.15, for living expenses for one ‘week, she now pays nearly $5.00, Rem now costs her 85 cents a week, food $1.75 and the remainder goes to va- rious benefit clubs ard for other ex- penses. But between the governrgent allowance, her husband’s commuted y and the work she gets from the gtam‘l Needlework Guild by making shirts for soldiers, she is able not only to put a shilling a week into the bank ?\ualnolher one aside as a clothing und. Among this woman's weekly items died in the months of December, Jan- uary and February, while for the col responding period of the previous year 131 deaths were recorded out of 371,000 pollcy holders, and this notwithstand- ing the fact that 220 of the insured are army officers in active service. OTHER VIEW POINTS So far this year there have been approximately one thousand wood- land fires in Connecticut, according to Warden Filley, and the damage amounts to around $200,000. That is a tremendous price to pay for rank carlessness and disregard of com- mon sense.—Bristol Press. of outlay is a shilling to a feather club, which she explains as follows: “I am in a feather club to get a lancer plume which will cost 15 shill- ings, 11 pence (34). If you don’t wear a good hat in Whitehorse Lane, they say you are coming down in the world, and T don't want them to think thet Also a nice hat makes you feel youns, and really I am only very young. I always try to look ciean and decent.” Another story comes from a laborer's wife, who has one son in the army and 'two sons, aged respectively thir- teen and two vears at home. Her in- come is 15 shillings o week from her husband, two shillings sixpence from the Soldiers' Association and the same from the thirteen year old boy when working and four shillings earned by herself at shirt making, altogether 24 shillings or six dollars. Bread, she says, is their heaviest ex- pense, since they use four loaves a day, costing $2.20 a week. Rent comes to $1.25 altogether and mere cost of Iiving leaves only a few pennles out of the weekly income. Meat jn the form of a stew is a luxury fof Sundays. Bread and margarine is the main food of thé family. Her story continues: “I spend nothing on myself. I don't remember when¥ had any new clothe: I don't belong to any feather club: 1 am too old for that—I'm forty.. Som times the children run errands and so get a penny to spend on the moving pictures. They like the cowboy filim. My husband works very long and very hard, but allows himself only three pence (six cents) a day for outside meals. He has no money to go any where, 5o he goes to bed. I have plenty of work to do. I don't know what business means. My wedding ring went a long time ago for bread, and now I wear a brass one. But the hardest thing to bear is when a lady visitor asks me why I don't put some- thing away for a rainy day.” ‘Waterbury’s central labor union is in for a peck of trouble. The jitney drivers have now decided that they will be better off as members of a duly organized union and have proceeded to apply for a charter. When the trol- levmen come to consider it there is an opportunity for all sorts of fireworks and a grand culmineting explosion.— Ansonia Sentinel. Both branches of the legislature having voted to adjourn May 18, While the work is-well alons, there is_still considerable to do, and the law-makers will have to hustle if they expect to finish on time, In years gone by, the legislature remained in session a good portion of the sum- mer, and most people thought there was no occasion for it. The present legislative body has pushed business along remarkably well and is to be congratulated for it—New Britain Record. Up in Thompsonville the public service corporations display the same keen ability to anger everybody and invite competition that they do else- where. There was a town meeting the other evening to pass upon cer- tain measures before the general as- sembly relative to amending the char- ters of the local companies dealing in water and light and power and the vote was unanimous against them. The meeting also went on record as favoring public ownership.—Bridge- port Post. Decrease in Mortality. A remarkable decrease in mortality among insured persons is noted by E. M. Corse, the Russian manager of an American insurance company.

That business has continued stead- ily to improve during the past week s the unanimous opinion of all the recognized authorities on trade con~ ditions. Substantial _progress _is shown by statistics and reports. In- dustries and sections, heretofore back- ward, are continually falling into line. Retail trade is beginning to feel the stimulus of agricultural prosperity and better condition of employment in industriel pursults. Taking the country as a whole, collections tend to improve and failures to decrease. Greater encouragement is being ex- tended to new enterprises and to those with projects calling for the invest- ment of new capital in considerable amounts,—Bridgeport Standard.
