AN ENTERPRISING
UNDERTAKER
The commercial spirit flowered.in.to
fine activity, in the mind of the New
York- city undertaker -who conceived
the idea of obtaining ;and exhibiting
the bpdies of ithe live Italian murder
ers, recently electrocuted in Sing Sing
prison." "With "well developed show
man's instinct dur 'Undertaker laid out
his ghastly quintet with best mortu
ary art, and invited the public in.
"Take off your hats," he said to
all who entered, and he smiled pleas
antly as the coins dropped into the
inviting plate. , ; - a "
"All I want is the advertisement,"
he said. 4 ,
He spoke like a . truthful man, "A
few days more and they woujd have
had caskets and a couple of brass
$aadsy instead of- coffina." --v- , v -re-"1; -"
How unfortunate that the authori
ties should-interfere. ThjtsdidU in-J
.terfere with a paternalism that is for
eign to the usual government'of that
city. . The further exhibition of the
bodies was forbidden, and an inquiry
.is begun into the manner in whifeh
toe, bodies came to be delivered for
. such unsoleninities.
- i The inquiry, it will be noted, fol
lows hot upon the heels of the alleg
ed offense, showing that the author-
ities in New York are somewhat more
. sensitive to public opinion - in the
mere matter of turning judicially .ex
ecuted criminals into producers of
private revenue, than they ate to the
same opinion about police killed gam
tiers: r ' ;
The body of Rosenthal was for
.'some time a public exhibit. But the
authorities" were in no haste' to In
quire how it. came' to" exhibilgon.
In the light of all the circumstances
we -are warranted in regarding New
'York as hyper-sensitive on one side
' of its mentality, and ,.subsensitive up
on another. ' ' '
. -. At the Vorst, profit taking by the
exhibition, of these . five slain-is a
more altruistic performance than en
richment by food adulteration, colli
sion with crime, or by the operation
cf notoriously unsafe mines and rail
road equipment..
Let us not think,, therefore, too
harshly of our undertaker showman,
lest conscience reproach him; and he
(become a lieutenant of New York
police, or owner of some Cherokee
coal mips . . v
BONDING
: The Result of bonding, under the
plan for many years used in Bridge
port,-Is to double the cost of the
ihing bonded for. - Most of the argu-1
Vnents used in advocacy , of bonding
will not. bear close inspection.
"Bonding for the life of the im
provement" is a : favorite suggestion
oa the lips of those who like the idea
of "a city with a large debt.'
Some -improvements endure but a
few years. Some may continue for
hundreds of years- The Congress
street bridge, may, conceivably, be in
use two or three hundred years hence.
Who would be so foolish as to bor
row money at four per cent, and
more, and assume the obligation to
cay interest upon it through that long
.-T?riod.
But the Interest on money for 50
years a favorite term fori municipal
mortgages is a fearful burden to lay
upon the tax payers.
:The advocate of bonding usually is
equipped with a maxim about "mak
ing posterity pay the bill."
Bonding makes posterity pay some
large bills, but it doesn't relieve the
living of any payments for what the
living - build and enjoy, as anybody
may ascertain with a pencil in a very
few minutes.' .;. , i ..

now have been full of trust news.
Gigantic political conspiracies to loot
the people have been exposed. The
courts have dissolved some trusts.
Other monopolies have dissolved
themselves. Grafters have -been - sir;

other places. "We have had Lorimr

EX-SPEAKER TELLS HOUSE. HE
FEELS LIKE SINGING A '
Washington, - Aug.- 1ft Ex-Speaker
Cannon roused the risibilities of the
House yesterday with a characteristic
speech on existing political and legis
lative' conditions. Speaking for near
ly an hour, he touched upon political
hypocrisy, and admitted for the ' first
time in his legislative career that he
has his ahare of: cowardice. ; ;
"Sometimes I feel "like singlngi"' ex
claimed the ex-Speaker "not 'Onward

Courage, O Lord.
"Why," continued Cannon,:, in an
other outburst; "do we orate and tear
passion to tatters about general leg
islation on appropriation billsT Leath
er and prunella, what. for? To try to
inflame public sentiment for use in
September and October in order that
we may appeal to the people? For
what ? That a wicked . Senate or- a
wicked President did wrong in ! not
yielding to the representatives of the
people, who are just going back to get
their power of attorney renewed! -

play poker and say prayers with the

Declaring his belief In the Consti

God, I am optimistic. . I believe the

;' ", : . ' '-; TERMINALS. '
Washington, Aug. 16-A careful
study of the Panama- . Canal. Mil as re
ported by the House and Senate con
ferees shows that its radical character
as regards the railroads has been un
derestimated. In the opinion of many
Senators the proposed legislation in
its final form not only bars the South
ern acifjcyessels f rbm the Panama
Canal, but will compel the divorce
ment - the vNew York, New Haven
and Hartford, the New York Central
and other, big railroads : from their
steamship interests, representing an
investment of millions of dollars.
. But this is not all. According to
railroad" officials the bill will compel

New York Central, which have . ex
pended hundreds of millions of dollars

for the r first time in :. the histor of

power to compel the construction' 6t a

- President Taft .has not studied the
Panama Canal bill in detail, but.it is
his present intention to sign it. The
President, it is understood," believes1 the
granting of free - toils, to American
coastwise vessels; does . not constitute
a. violation of the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty. . .'He considers it' imperative
that legislation governing the opera.'
tion. and control of the canal and the
question cf tolls should be enacted at
this session,, and it is the general im
pression .that he will accept some dis
tasteful features of. the bill in order
to accomplish this end. ; . . '

anxiety around the stock market tick

It has been a blot ' on 'American in
dustry, that our production of the
great cereal crops per acre has .been
but a third; to a half the records of
Europe. With the preaching of the
gospel of a better farming, it, cannot
be many years, before our grain eleva
tors will overflow at higher ratios than
ever before. , V
-Already Jn -.ten states, according to
the department of. agriculture, the
com crop is increasing faster per acre
than population. ' '
Ten years ago the principal efforts
to .better our farming' were along two
lines-the cattle shows, and the high
er education of the agricultural col
leges. ' ' :' -
The cattle showa. performed a very
useful service, along unscientific line
Premium money distributed among the
farmers ;has induced a minority of
them to produce aristocratic creatures

of the farmers attributed . their failure
to get premiums to cattle show poli

beasts. The oattl shows also never
did .much .toward better cereal crop

CONDUCT UNBECOM-
, ING SOLDIERS
V (Ansonia Sentinel.) ' 1
Twenty thousand ' men. Reds" and
Blues, and the most of . them splendid
types of humanity! What a pity that
a few of them now and then bring
discredit to ' the whole number by
conduct unbecoming soldiers! We re
fer to the occasional drunkenness
which has been-noted among men who
wear the khaki, to the hoodlumism in
evidence on the streets 6f Derby last
evening, to the unsavory fracas on a
Derby oar (from 'New Haven), to the
near riot which .-was only held in oheck
by plucky police work In Derby and
to the silly, sappy,' slushy flirtations
carried on by pickets with equally
foolish and light-headed girls. Out of
the whole twenty thousand . soldiers,
probably less than - fifty fail to bring
credit to the national uniform, and
these few -are mostly the fresh, raw,
green young f ellows who look upon
this whole war game as a grand lark.
ivithout stopping to recommend that
they be spanked and sent to bed, we
would respectfully add that consider
ing .the way in which .many of the
troops are enlisted and the vast ex
tent of country from which they have
been gathered, the wonder is that so
few of them misbehave when off duty.
As a matter of fact they help ,40 em
phasize the iruth that the ideal sol
dier is the- one who, whether on or off
diitv. whether at ! home or among
strangers, whether at headquarters or J
on picket, whether in broad daylight
or under the cover of darkness, can
be trusted to be, "every inch a man."
We like to believe that by far the lar
gest percentage of -the two great ar-?
mies npw maneuvering in this part of
Connecticut is composed of men , of this
type. .... , . : . . . ; .-'.
FOR SMALL CAMPAIGN FUND.
(Ansonia Sentinel.) ;
Governor Woodrow Wilson, when in
terviewed concerning campaign expen
ses, is reported to have said that - it
was his desire to have expenses con
fined 'to a reasonable' degree of econ
omy and limited to absolutely 'legit
imate objects." -This is sound doc
trine for any party to adopt, and it
is particularly applicable, we believe,
to the approaching campaigns here in
the state of Connecticut. Until last
year, both of the leading parties were
accustomed to expend exorbitantly
large amounts. Gubernatorial ' candi
dates have - confessed to spending
small fortunes, both to secure nomin
ations and afterwards to make sure of
elections. Not all of this money could
have ben spent in legitimate ways, we
believe, and yet the prosecutions for
illegalities along this line m any of
fice whatsoever, have been compara
tively few and their outcome has sel
dom if ever been marked by convic
tions and punishments.
The example set last year by Gov
ernor Baldwin Is the one which Gov
ernor Wilson seems to have adopted
this year for his national campaign,
and it is a good one. It commands
the confidence and respect of voters at
the outset. Thinking men are inclined
to view large campaign funds with
suspicion, and the uses to which at
least a portion of such funds have
been put in the past give them good
reason for this attitude. We believe
that the time has gone by for1 the
present at least when It is at all nec
essary for a party to be backed by
very large sums, of money. Here in
Connecticut to-day we would give fat
more for the chances 6fa clean, ca
pable candidate with enough funds to
barely defray the .legitimate campaign
expenses than we would for the chan
ces of a man who had forced his name
upon the party, ticket by a lavish ex
penditure of money , and secured a fol-
l lowing solely- upon the afarength of that
