He was them an ‘active demo- cratic worker and has been trained in the pelitics of both parties lozaily, and therefere knows enough of the politi- cal game to get himself into line for ‘the maporalty. The office of secretary to the mayor carries with it a substantial sal and has developed into quite a poli cal sinecurc. In the years that have long pasced that office was filled at a neminal salary by some old gentle- man, who sat in the mayor's office a few hours each day, as a sort of of- fice Bov, just to teli visitors just when the mayor would be at the office, or receive messages to be handed to the mayer. Now the secretary is a sec- retary in fact and answers corres- pondence relative to business of the eity, but presumably only with the mayer’s knowledge and consent. Just by what authority this now lucrative office was created and the big salary fixed is just a little bit problemati- cal. But it must be all proper or it would never been sanctioned by mayors noted for their municipal eco- nemy. “Read it and laugh” is the sugges- tion of a local newspaper in referring 1o an articlée in a Hartford newspaper nf democratic persuasion in reference to a boom for Colonel William H.

CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION T NORWICH COMMERCIAL SCHOOL Sir:— The Commission has communi- cated with you from time to time régarding the pri nt urgent need of the Government for stenbgra- phers and typists, and has re- quested you to assist it in meeting this need. The Commission will be £lad_to have you centinue for an indefiniteperidd the effort to ob- tain applicants for these exami- nations. There is constant need for ste- nographer and {tilil! eligibles for positions in the Government ser- vice. Both men and women are -needed. The Government employs in Washington and throughout the coumtry not less than 30.000 ste- nographers and typists. In a force 8o iarge thé vacancies which nor- mally ogéur_amount to 200 or 300 a month. The Commission must maintain a _perpetual recruiting campaign for stenographers dnd tvpists in order to keep the force from becoming depleted. Younz men and women should be enconraged to take up the study of stenugrl‘;hy and typewriting with the Government service in view. The Commission sees no prospect that the demand for workers. of this class will mate- rially decrease. : S In most branches in Washinzton a stenographer is paid $1.440 a Year, and a_typist $1.340 a year at entrance. Higher talaried posi- tions are usually filied” through prometion. The bonuses have been anthorized for the year _ending June 30, 1320. Tnless salaries are adjusted in the meantime, it seems probable that they will continue beyond that date. By direction af the Civil Service Commission, July 24, 1818, You ¢an accomplish more in less time by our newer methods—some of —our duates are making $3,000 a year working for Unéfe Sam. Are vou losing the difference be- tween the above amount and vour present salary just on account of a laek of training? This is the only business and shorthand school in Norwich mentioned in the last 1. 8. Gevernment report on such ssheols. Why not let Norwich Ssmmercial School help you? NORWICH 2 COMMERCIAL SCHOOL. FOR NEW LONDON'S NEXT MAYOR w London, Aug. 1.—According te at the last election, is the logical nomi- nee for mayor of New London when the term of the present incumbent éx- He is already in training for present ; Frank Morgan | became mayor he appointed as his congress to succeed Congressman Richard P. Freeman of New London. Those know ‘the two men well, know that Fréeman is_preferable to | Hall with the masses. But that asic the boom is not of democratic for the purposes of weakening the chances of Mr. Freeman for nomina- tion. Last winter a politician high in the council of the republican party, gobmy outranked only by John 15y, said the leaders would be glad to have Colonel Hall signify his de- sire for the nomination, and that he would receive the support of the state ‘machine. Je said the politi¢al condi- tions would not permit the leaders to ask the colonel to enter the con- gressional contest, but he believed he was just the kind of a man for the place, and his candidacy would tend to make the party even stronger. lle said the colonel was not only wealthy. but he had unusual legislative experi- ence and ‘would take just pride in be- ing a member of congress. This republican party leader aiso said that Senator Brandegee's chances for reelection would ~“be made even stronger with Colonel Hall in the low- er house. He argued that there was party unrest in the congressi al trict, and in the state for that mat- ter, by reason of the senator and the congressman both hailing from New London. This leader adied that while not over friendly politic: with Colonel Hall it would be a good party move to substitute him for Freeman, who did not seem to be aole to light the match to set the political world afire. Tne writer did not asree with several thing: said of Freeman, but in fact spoke of him in the high cst praise and as being far suverior to Colonel Hall as representative of the district_in the house of r:present. tives. This shows that the recent published reference to Fall is not democratic propaganda against Mr. Freeman for renomination and ele: tion. Instead of “reading and !augh- ing” it would be well for Mr. Freeman and his friends to be on guard. The police department is doing cx- cellent traffic work, especially in the business centre of the city, that is on State street gnd parts of Bank cnd Main streets, not far distan: from State. But they seem to b> coniined to that section also in the arrests for violation of the automobile laws, while the most flagrant violations are natu- rally away from the business centre, where usually more care is exercised by the drivers of motor vehicles. Still the larger number of arrests in that prescribed district will serve as an indicator of what is going on in that line in other parts of the city. Take Ocean avenue, for instance. There are probably more violations on that thor- oughfare in a single night than there are in the business centre in a monti. There are no cases of excess've :peci of the reckless driving class in the centre, but eut Ocean avenu:, the au- tomobiles are few :bat do nut travel over thirty miles an hour irom ¢ en! of the long av:ni'e 16 thr othe So much so that pedpe who are crosving from on: side to the ciher are taking a chan:e even more pesi- cus fhan the chance thai made Sieve Bicoie a houseicld word, fhe (OuLILY ove. There are automobiles and automo- biles racing up and down the avenue without any regard to the public safe- |ty and many of them are without the required lighted tail lamp. One night this week there was a big truck, a great big one, groping in the darkness Wwith no light, either head or tail, and in turning into Lee avenue it went to the l=fc instead of the right of the red light signal. and came within an ace of crashing into a large touring car containing eight persons. Such conditions existed a season of iwo ago, but there came a marked change: when it became known to the reckless drivers that Nel Smith, the motorcy- cle cop. was on duty and that he was doing _it the queen’s taste. This man Smith is now a police sergeant and is assigned as motorcycle traffic officer, but he is missed after nightfall along 'the principal driveway to Ocean beach. If the sergeant's duties will not permit of night patrol on Ocean avenue, it is suggested that equally competent officer be assigr to that special duty.
