CIRCULATION WEEE ENDING SEPT. 10 11,721 _—— THR BEPUBLICAN OONVENTION. Interest throughout Conmectiout ocen- <3 o o large degres today in the opeming of the state convention of the republican party for the sslection of the state ticket for the fall election, an ales- tion of much importance, involving as 't will not only the state officers but a United States senator from this state and five members of congress. Almost on the eve of the comvention comes the statement from (Governor Lake that he is not a candidate for re- slection, and that he never has been. That causes mo great amount of sur-| Priss becsuse following that memorable campalgn of & dozen years ago Gov- ermor Lake declared that he would Bever be a candifate again and he never bas. It i3 tue that he has been nomi- nated for the governorship and elected to that office by a rousing vote of the people of Connmecticut, and he has made Connectiout & good governor, but he was not & candidate, as it will be well re- membersd at the convention of tyo years g0 his name was put forward without warning and carried the eonvention by worm Governor Lake ts-no more a candidate sow than he was two years ago. He. has made no effort for it, but should the| nomination come his way there is no foubt he would accept it. However that may be much work has been devoted to the candidacy of Lieutenant Governor Templeton of Waterbury, & man of abil. Ity, good judgment and apparent quall- flcations asids from the fact that he has served as Meutemant governor. That Senator McLean will be renomi- pated s & foregone conclusion. He ts the logical holce for the representation of Connecticut, and the state cannot dis- regard the prestige gained through his long and commendable service. With dogen who have given long and efflolent servics, but of giving due consideration to the immediate future of the army and its efficlency. The retirement of the offictals doesn’t mean that their services would be lost. They would become inactive but would be still avallable {f required. But it is also evident that they can still be ot much active value df the plan which has been advanced in Massachusetts by Gov- ernor Cox of having Major General Ed- wards become the commander of the state national guard is adopted in the case of the others in other states. 1t may require some special legisla- tion to make this possible, but General Hdwards is ly inclined. He ts ready to, apply his services where they can be of the most benefit and certainly the national guard could desire no better leaders than the popular General Ed- wards and men of his type. The nation- al guard is an important factor in na- tional defense, and it could be made even more so if each state were given the benefit of such valuable leadership as Massachusetts is planning to get. The ides is one that others might well give tavorabls consideration, NO PLACE FOE THE GRUMPY. No one has to watch a traffic officer for more than & half hour when he is dealing with a lot of wilful drivers or strangers who are not acquainted with the regulations to appreciate that the job is not a bed of roses. It takes tact and a realization of the differences in human nature to hold the post and make the best job of it. There are those who don't intend to respect the regula- tions unless they have to, while thers are others who undertske a violation simply because they are without instruc- tlons. All who have driven ears can appre- clate the situation which has developed the prodable renomination of the same tengressmen Connecticnt has reason to name its best men for the various piaces on the state ticket. That is what the members of the party expect and that is what the volers of the state have rea- %om to antieipate in preperation for the vicosssful outcome at the November Slectien, MAKING TARIFF ELASTIC, From preeent indications the oconfer- Mmce committes which has been consid- ering the tarf? measures as they passed the adoption, Smong other things, of the flexible plan Re incorporated in the senate biil This Idea has cansed some opposition because now there is the aftermath of the carrylng with # conditions which from time to time. It i impossl- to suppose, in view of the uncertain-| that tari® legislation can be emacted which will be constdered, even by same individuals, as meeting the jnditions which may obtain stx months % & year from now as adjustments are made. Becanse of this and because of a de- make such changes in the tariff as con- fitlons warrant has been gaining Im creased Tecognition. It ien't the usual thing to do, but thess are not ordinary tmes. It iam't intended that he shall make over the whols tari®? bl The au. thority is explicit and he can make ro- fuctions o increasss in the tarift only within certatn limits, 2nd be would nat. arally recognize the responsfility that wouid b bound 6 go with any such ac- ton. Making the tariff flexfble as planned may not call for any action by the pres- Jdent, and again it may not serve to bring the tarift duties in full accord with thanges In economio condftions, but the importance of having such authority o het should conditions-wasrant is of im- It isw't one man tariff mak- g but the recognition by congress of Ihe possible need for regulation within § cemtain period and the giving of au- Tority to-act in its behalf, having fixed Bo time and the bounds within which mch action can. be taken, There fsn't any more hit or miss about this flexible feature of the tariff than there is about the ordinary methods-of larift changing. MAETNG HIGHWAYS SAFER. Pretty good evidence that safety on e ‘highways cannot de insured by the prosecution of the violators of regula- lons is fumnished by the action of the registrar of motor vehicles iIn Massa- shusetts where thus far this season there have been suspended or revoked §089 automoblle registrations and driv- average of 634 a of more than 20 in Jersey City where the trafio officers have:been ordered to refrain from being grumpy. Tt has been well satd that the man worth while is the one wha can smile when everything goes dead weong, That is the kind that Jersey City wants, and the kind that is needed for the traf- flc job. Trafflo can be made to move- much better and with less feeling when the grumpy officer takes a sane attitude and mests the situation hal? way. Thers is nothing accomplished by the bawling out of a driver who is going cautiously, even though through mot be- ing acquainted he attempts to do some- thing he ought not to do. A prompt but courteous bit of instruction ‘meets the eltuation and leaves the officer in a much better state of mind to deal with the remainder of the traffic. What Jersey City Is endeavoring (o accomplish ds to have lts trafic men remain human beings for the purpose of dealing with others of the same class!- flcation. There may be those who need a stern rebuke when thelr acts warrant it but that fsn't every time a driver happens to need a bit of advice that should be given In a civil manner. It is a requirement which seems only reason- able and yet it is one which stmply serves to emphasize the difficulties that are involved in the task of handling street traffic, especially when the traffic man is hawing his troubles and when one irritation plles up on another. If, however, it s impossible for them to be otherwise than grumpy that ls mot the Job for them.

Stories That Recall Others The Strength of Peppermint. Four young women were on a crowded trolley when a father and a very small daughter arrived and had to stand in the alsle. One of the young women offered to hold the little miss of three, while another answered her longing glances by glving her peppermint candy.

CHILD TRAINING Cultivating & Child’s Sense of Humor We are all familiar with the old say- ing that a sense of humor is a saving grace, but even though we adults, moth- ers and teachers, appreclate this trait, t0o often we neglect the opportunity to courage it in the child. All children love a joke. Even very young children are quick to catch a pun or a play on words. They are always ready for a good laugh, and they are all the happier if some one will enjoy the laugh with therh. Fortunate indeed is the child who has a teacher who indulges a sense of bumor in hoth herself and her children. And if these same pupils receive further encouragement at home through mother, they develop a clean wit which is a joy even while they are small. The children who daily play under my window make remarks that are clever enough for any writer to use in his dally newspaper de- partment, but I am not surprised at their remarks when I know the teacher who has them iIn charge at least four hours each day. She is always bubbling with mirth and never allows the tiresome de- tails of routine to dull her perspective. She never loses a chance to turn a word or a phrase at the proper moment so that the children catch the humor. And they grow to like this game of matching wits with the keenly alert mind of the joking teacher’s Toom one day and the class was writing a composition on “Mother.” Ruth raised her hand and asked, “How do you spell ‘awiuf'?’ Miss Allen looked af her a moment in surprise and then said, “Why Ruth, you don’t mean you're using that word in a talk about ‘Mother' ! Ruth's eyes danced and a broad smile broke over her face as she replied, “I just asked that on purpose to see you look surprised. I know how to spell that word and I'm saying my mother does awful nice things for me.” The idea was that the child planned to use that word (this Is not the place to discuss the pro- priety of its use) and when she saw the opportunity for a joke, she felt at liberty to share her discovery with the teacher becauso.there was that certalnly of ap- preciation which Miss Allen had encour- aged. Yesterday that same crowd of children to which I have previously referred was exploring the mysteries of a new house In process of construction. The carpent- ers had laid the shingles around the top of the roof in bunches just as they came from the lumber vards, and Dorothy had never happened to see shingles that shape before. So she said careless! “I didn't know shingles came that wa: and Bobble, catching the remark quick as a wink, shouted, “How did you think they came, In pasteboard boxes wrapped in pin ktissue paper?” Now Bobble goes to school to' Miss Allen, and in addition he comes from a family who, although very modestly endowed financially, have a wonderful faculty of getting fun out of life, They can construct a gloriously happy home on the very foundation of adversity, simply because they mix in that wonderful saving grace, a Sense of hu- mor.” 4 Aslde from teaching the children this happy trait, ib.is a most helpful factor in adding ‘zest to the daily tasks of the teacher. A good laugh is a splendid nerve tonle, as any physician Wil testlfy, and the tension of everlastingly-keeping-at-it can be relieved many times during the day by the well-directed habit of roaming off for a moment into “lighter vein.” Some children as.well as adults are more rich- | ly endowed by nature than others \\'X:h‘ this -characteristic of humor, but it is wonderful what cultivation of even the tinfest “germ will produce even In the soberest an dseemingly dullest individual, in ALL THE WORLD AT WORK.

BREANDEGEE IS AGAINST ABSOLUTE COAL CONTROL Senator Frank B. Brandegpe ad- mitted during debste on the coal bill In the senate Thursday that he was per- plexed as to the remedy needed for the present industrial disturbances in the na- tion, and is anxious for & solution. “This thought has oceurred to me.” n@ said, ia- terrupting a_speech of Senator Myers of Montana, “although the raliroads of the country are privately owded and have not been nationalized, still we regulate them,” Myers said this was because rail- roads were engaged in interstate com- merce. ‘The coal industry” returned Senator Brandegee, “may be engaged in Interstate commerce, and therefore con- gress may have constitutionally the pow- er to regulatg that industry also. I want ed to get clearly in my mind whetner the senator :was convinced that under no cir- cumstances should the governmen: regu- Iate the coal industry similar for instaace to the regulation of the roads by tie in- terstate commerce commission.” To this Myers replied he had sald nothing against it. Mr. Brandegee said he would not want the word “control” in the bill ¢ it meant absolute control, but he add- ed it might be that complete regulation of the coal industry would control it. Both Senators Brandegee and McLean voted for the measure. Belgium's increase in - automobiles since the war has been almost 100 per cent., and now has one automobile for every 230 inhabitants.
