:. A NEW RAILROAD STATIOX.
The mayor and railroad committee
of the common council wlll carefully
consider the resolution of Councilman
Frank S. Cadwell calling for negotia
tions with the New Haven railroad re
garding the construction of a passen
ger station on the main line of the
' railroad In the eastern section of the
city.
Construction of such a station
'would eliminate the present centrally
' located station for through traffic,
and would be more convenient. But
whether such Inconvenience would bo
more than compensated for by having
' a station with main lino advantages
will have to be determined by the
, persons having the matter uivier con-
liberation.
The plan is not a new one, but so
.. long as passenger service to and from
New Britain Is deemed unsatisfactory
- agitation to Improve it' will continue.
Jt la the part of wisdom to discuss all
angles of the matter in advance of
contemplated aetlnn. It may lake

3. Price, a newspaperman for half a
century, who labored like a pack

fore helping to put a charm Into the
New Tork Morning Telegraph, has re.
tired. He was "one of the most popu
lar figures In newspaper circles,"
which means that he ad considerable
more favor among the rank and file
of hlred hands in the profession than
Herr Frank A. sMunsey Is credited
with commanding.
Brother Price for years conducted
the "Review of the Town" in the
Morning Telegraph, and was regarded
as a very good friend to the theatrical
profession, among whom the paper
largely circulated; many of the stage
stars got to know him personally. He
wrote pamphlets on flnanclat and
economic subjects, and during- the
war some of his suggestions were
adopted by the government. An all-round-
erackerjack writer was this
gentleman, and he knew high life
Lfrom the Inside.
Did Brother Price hie himself away
to the poorhouse over the hill?
Brother Price did not. Brother Price
"has gone back to his farm in Pike
county, Pennsylvania, to find time to
read some of the things he has writ
ten," reads a journalistic farewell In
a rival paper.
Back to the farm, eh! He's going
to wrestle with the soil and cavort
around In a flivver in a rural paradise,
far removed from the New York hul
labaloo, the smell of Ink and the
chesty pretensions of the suave ur-banite..-
It will be but a short time before
Brother Price, reading an item in his
favorite paper which docs not set well
with "us farmers," will wax Indignant
and soothe his injured complex by
writing a letter to the editor.
IMMIGRATION BOOTLEGGING.
Slneo the passage of the Immigra
tion law rumors have been current
that bootlegging in immigration will
be a serious development, giving fed
eral officers something new to worry
about.
The cost, to an Immigrant who
seeks to bootleg himself Into thfs
country would be so considerable,
however, that It would not be gener
ally attempted. In the first place, the
Immigrant bootlegger would need lo
get here by a circuitous course; in the
second place, the bootlegger who at
tempted to smuggle him into the
country would not be working and
taking risks for the pleasure in It, but
would want good pay.
Bootlegging or immigrants through
Canada and Mexico, of course, would
offer the eanlest field; but thu officials
In at least, one of these countries
Canada arc not asleep, and It Is
questionable whether much of this
threatened country could be developed
through that gateway.
Conditions in Mexico arc different.
The border between the two countries
is long and parts of It nre Isolated.
At such places almost anybody can
cross it without detection, It Is said.
In fact, there always hss been a cer
tain amount of smuggling of humans
going on from Mexico: but that the

took a trip to Boston, and went there
and returned over the mort direct
lint through Wllllmsntlc.
On tht return trip the diy waa hot;
there had been no rain for mdrt thin
a week; tht roadbed wai drj'tr than
tht Volstead law. ,
It wai discovered that tht msjorlty
of hsrdy traveler! refrained from
opening the windows. In tht first
place, few possessed' tufflclent
trength to budge them. Scvenl
suave traveling aalcsmen made them
selves solid with pretty girl travelers
by tugging at the windows next their
eati and finally releasing tfia clam
like grip to the sills. But few of the
window! were suffered to remain
open; too much of inquisitive mother
earth came .through them to spoil
good looks, snappy cloth's and tem
pers. When nearly all the window-s again
were down, and the dirt continued to
pile through the crevices of the van
tllators which likewise were kept
closed and ever and anon scurried
through the doors as trainmen passed
through them, we decided to Investi
gate. ' '
Going to the last coach we looked
up the receding track that la, we
peered in the direction where the re
ceding track ought to have been; but
we saw no track. Instead we saw
nothing but a first class-cloud of dust,
thick enough to cut with a knife, and
hiding not only the track, but also the
entire right of way. Occaalonally a
tree on adjoining 'land jutted through
It, but It had to be a rather tall tree.
A trainman in the last seat was
glimpsing the devastating effect of
the train's progress through the desert
right of way." He was jockeyed into
engaging Yn conversation and was
asked the reason for so much dust.
"No lie on the track," he comment
ed pointedly. "They used to have
crude lie on the right of way, but it
costs too much money, I guess."
"What about stone ballast on
this railroad?" he was next asked.
"They got stone on the main line,
but not up this way."
"That's why the coaches are so
dusty, eh?"
"You guessed It."
And the honorable management has
since admitted that It is because of
this condition on the "high grade"
line, as the Willimantlc route is
called In a geographical sense, that
the coaches look So crestfallen. The
management added the distressing in
formation that every fifth tie is being
replaced with a new one along this
route, which helps to stir up the un
derlying sand, enabling it to aviate
splendidly whenever a. train passes.
Our advice to the honorable man
agement is to hurry up the work of
replacing the ties, and pour oil along
the right of way; and then employ
several hundred toach washers, for
outside snd Inside work.
Better stllr, the railroad ought to
be able to raise sufficient money to'
place rock ballast along this line. The
company has been trying to make it
more of an Important link In the sys
tem, hut as it is, travelers from down
these parts who go to Boston snd
back are Inclined to avoid It and
travel via Springfield, so that the Bos
ton and Albany gets a slice of the
fare. The New Haven is losing money
in this manner every day.
The honorable management is en
titled to credit for candidly admitting
the trouble and being equally as frank
about wishing to obviate It were It not
for the fact lhat to do so entails the
expenditure of motley. Home day,
when t:ie New Haven has bored Itself
out of the slough rf despond into
which a former unhonorcd manage
ment threw It, and it Can accumulate
money Instead of paying It to a line
of waiting creditors, the honorsble
management snould spread Itself.

SAYS ADVERTISING
E, T: Meredith's Paper Is Read
' in London'
Br Tli Associated Press.
London, July 17. An addresi by E.
T. Meredith of Pea Moines, Iowa, on
"How Advertising Has Welded the
United States Market," was till! after
noon read before the convention of
the Associated Advertising clubs of
tho world, "now in session In Loudon.
Mr. Meredith, In the beginning, re
viewed tho barriers that exist in
America to uniform buying customs
throughout the 48 states. He referred
to the geographical barriers found In
mountain chains; the different clima
tic conditions in winter, for instance,
between Florida on the south and the
Canadian border on the north; the
great distances north, east, south and
west; the distribution of population,
32,000,1)00 people on farms, 45,000,
000 in cities and 29,000,000 111 towns,
and the question of sectional. Indus
trial and agricultural production. . "
"Nevertheless," Mr. Meredith de
clared, "the use of locally manufac
tured products made from locally pro
duced raw materials is nation-wide,
and this has been accomplished by Ad
vertising. Nationally known and na
itonally used products have been ad
vertised throughout the nation, and
the heads of these concerns will tell
you that universal sales would not
have been possible without this pub
licity." To explain what national advertls--Ing
meant In dollars and cents, the
speaker, related the sums of money
spent yearly by well known firms deal
ing in automobiles, foodstuffs, cloth
ing, etc., etc. In conclusion he-said:
"I hope I have made clear to you
that in the first place nearly all of the
natural conditions in the United States
work against national distribution of
products and that the line of least re
sistance, the easy way out as It were,
would have developed In the United
States not a single buying unit as we
find It today. We would have had a
number of local or sectional com
munities to a large extent sufficient
unto themselves each going its own
way with its own customs, living con
ditions, and tho use of commodities
necessary for its well being. But far
seeing men saw what might have been
considered as definite trade barriers
only as trade problems to be solved
in some way. To solve the problem,
they, with almost no exception, turned
to natiorial'advertising to establish
ifatlonul consumption of their product
In a vast country. The wise and In
telligent, use of advertising in all its
forms has succeeded, in its purpose of
welding tho United States market."
