'A " ' i
devoted' much space to remarks in

cratic party, says this morning that
'the Democratic organization'' Is con
trolled by three men, and that the en

is controlled by six more, making nine
then in all. We fear that the political
Titers for our journalistic friend are
ever credulous. Somebody has been
joking, and the jest has' heen-: serious
ly received.. The Democratic5 party is
Controlled by Its voters, of whom
there are -some 9,000.
i These 9,000 men the Democratic
party in Bridgeport would make
'pretty short work of any three per-sons-
who claimed to be the whole
party. If there were any such persons
they would at least. haVe sense enough
to keep the fact to themselves. Oc
casionally 'somebody will be discov

Jefferson. Such queer people are sub
mitted to a commission of alienists,
who ascertain what is the matter

should tell the people of , Bridgeport.

are the Democratic party, - If ' they

TRAPPIST MONKS CELEBRATE
i
ST. BERNARD'S DAY.
""St. Bernard's Day will be observed
with special ceremonies today in all
the monasteries of the . Cistercian
Trappist monks, who will honor the
memory of the &ood saint who "vaa
one or the-founders of their organiza
tion, famed for its extraordinary aus
i ferity. Saint Bernard died on August
20, 1133, - and -was canonized in 1774 by
Pope Alexander III, since which time
the twentieth of August . has been - a
date sacred to his memory on the
; calaadar of the Roman church.
,St. Bernard was born of a noble
family in Burgundy, in 1091. Ke was
educated 'at the University of Paris,
and then, at the age of twenty-three,
entered the recently founded monas
s tery at Citeaux, together with- his
brothers and a score of companions.
The rules of Use order- were extraor
dinarily strict, but Bernard observed
them all, and so distinguished him
self for - austerity, ability and . discir
pline that he was chosen to lead the
eokmey to Clairvaux, and w;as made
the abbot of the new house, an office
which he filled to his death. In 1128
he prepared the statutes for the or
der of Knights Templar. He was the
principal promoter of the second cru
sade, and was the founder of 160 mon
asteries. The Cistercian 'order, which Stj Ber
nard started on its way to greatness J
is usually railed tne Trappist order
by reason of the fact that one of the
' mpst celebrated of 1 its pioneer abbeys
was located in the narrow valley of
Ia- Trappe "the trap" so called be
cause of its Inaccessibility. The name
of St.- Bernard has been perpetuated
by i the celebrated pas of the Pennine
Alps in Switzerland called Great St.
Bernard.-. The St.- Bernard, dogs kept
there tcv assist the brethren in their
humane-activities are well known. In
the midst of tempests and snowstorms
the monks, accompanied by some of
these large and intelligent canines,
set out for the purpose of tracking
those rwho have lost their way and
who are in danger of perishing in the
storm. .
Today is the sixtieth anniversary of
one of -the worst disasters on the

TEACHING BOYS TO KILL.
Two boy scouts were playing in Hartford, Sunday af
ternoon. They had a pistol. They played at being.sol-
diers. . v'.-" ''-V : ) " . '.. r '')-
"Look out, I 'in going to shoot you, ' ' said one boy
scputvv.. . . ' ',. ' , . ;;; 4
T know how to die like a man, ' ' said the other, 1 but
don't shoot me through the clothes, "and he opened his col-
lar ry:'j't' & '-t: , ' - - ' ",f
. There' was a snap, the. .mildest cracking sound, a
trickle of red on the breast of the little fellow, and, pres
ently, a' boy scout who breathed no more. ' ' :;f
The pistol wag loaded. v , ;
. Now. i bis is': 'not'-the . first time that unloaded pistols
hav6 killed people, when "pointed for vfun. It .would ndt
be fair to charge rthat tohe boy sdout movement. ;7
But there is a question raised a to the social neces
sity and wisdom of that movement in its present form.
, Please note that these boys : began to play soldiei.
And that their thoughts turned to KILLING-. One of
them was killed because they were playing at killing.
Playing at murder wras the proximate cause of one boy
scout 's death -at the hands of the other.
' Men are queer creatures. V Civilization is a puzzling
mystery. War has been woven into the fabric of society.
Alale creatures are born fighting creatures. It took a
long time to teach them not to kill. It took a long, long
time to 'substitute public for private justice, and an even
longer time to abolish torture1, fire, and the gallows as the
constant instruments of organized government. There
is talk of the end of war, of tlje.eviLof war, of its unneces
sity. But war.Iingers. 7
v This is the question which mahy thoughtful men and
women women especially who are mothers ask isr it
Christian, or wise, to put a soldier coat on a male child
in his plastic years, give him a gun, and teach him that
MURDER, under certain circumstances is glorious?
. Is it wise? We da not say that the pitiful incident in
which one boy killed another in Hartford, is conclusive,
or that it should necessarily have a controlling effect vin
the discussion of this question. The Hartford killing of
one little boy by another is only a straw.
'But the little fellows WERE playing at taking life,
and that' did bring about DEATH. -
. Possibly the little boy who was killed might have ta
ken many lives had he lived. This is the difficulty, when
boys are taught the art of slaying. They may take their'
lessons seriously, when they come to be men., It would
seem to be dangerous propaganda.
Too much emphasis is laid on "dying like a man," and
entirely too little on LIVING like one.
The poor little Hartford boy scouts under other dis
cipline might have been playing how to livex like men,
which would have been better all around,
, Do you not think so, dear reader?

VISIT OF GEOLOGISTS.
' (Meriden1 Journal.) ' -
We are very glad these European
scientists are coming here Tuesday to
inspect the strange geological form
ations that make Meriden hills of vast
interest. They will see the peculiar
conditions that have resulted from
the "faults" and-the erosions of many
centuries and perhaps may be able to
explain some ot the. things that
have long puzzled our native experts.
- For one thing this old ashbed over
on Mt. Lamentation has long been an
object of conjecture. It was originally
thought that this was the crater of an
extinct volcano but Professdr Rice, of
Wesleyan, has disabused that idea
and sys that there are two plausible
theories about it, both of which are
highly scientific but not all clear to
the layman. " - ' r
West Peak is rich in geological ma
terial as is also the old stone quarry
and much of Interest will no doubt be
pointed out. As for the 'hanging hills
and the country to the eastward there
is more of interest there. We are
glad that Meriden offers so much of
interest to these men of . science.
STRENGTH OP PUBLIC OPIXION.
. (New Haven Union.)
, The strength of public opinion Is
agains demonstrated In the abandon
ment by Tammany Hall of its plan to
nominate Mayor Gaynor for gover
nor. It is only a few weeks ago
when it. was thought that the mayor
of New York city could have had
this- important nomination. merely by
saying the word. To-day, the may
or's gubernatorial chances are prac
tically nil. ' His failure to take ag
gressive action in the Rosenthal case
has ended hia chances for future po
litical advancement or pref erment, ut
least for some time to come. Public
opinion is clearly incensed ' at ' the
mayor's attitude and it will be many
a day before he stands in the popu
lar favor in, any such position as he
occupied a. few short weeks ago.
Not only In New York, but right
up here in Connecticut, we could poiat
to instances where the force of en
lightened public opinion is destroying
the political ambitions of certain in
.dividuals. There is one case which
we have long had-in mind, of a man
seeking gubernatorial honors from his
own party when the great majority
of his fellow partisans . know very
well and admit quite frankly that he
would have no show on election day.
Why? Because public . opinion in
dicates that everywhere this man is
considered the, advocate and adherent
of the very worst elements in the po
litical life of Connecticut.. He - is
considered the buttress of a system of
county government which has been
weighed in the balance and . found
wanting. He is felt to be the polit
ical .. servant- of certain corporate , In
terests which are- more concerned
with their own than with the public
welfare. , His record In politics
shows that he has been lined up on
many sides of the fence. ' His rec
ord in official positions indicates the
one - side of the fence on. which he'
has always . played. Public opinion
indicates that he is a dead one polit
ically. His own fellow partisans" ad
mit as much; but some of them think
that the best Tyay to get rid of him in
politics is to put nim up and let the
voters , kill him off. Perhaps they
are right.
AFTER THE WAR.
: . ' ,(Anson.ia Sentinel. ). ; '
T Now that it. 4s all over and ;the
boys in khaki are preparing to "re
turn ' to their homes, we desire, to
congratulate them upon their gallant
fighting, their usually manly carriage,
their strength to withstand hardship
and pleasure, mosquitoes and - dust,
their refusal to reply to harsh criti
cism and their universal use of blank
cartridges, when, we feel sure,, they
have sometimes been tempted to club
their muskets. How all this warfare
will be interpreted is in doubt at this
writing, but we presume it will be
found to have demonstrated certain
definite, needs of our great United
States army, both as to equipment,
maintenance, manipulation, sanitary
regulations, food suupplies and camp
comforts. If it is ascertained that
the army has too much equipment
and is faring altogether too well, we
shall hear nothing of it. The short
comings will probably be made known
so far as they can be overcome by in
creased appropriations, such as are
certainly demanded and this will
come as a matter of course, whether
the "Reds"- take New York or leave
it. We feel sure. too. that much has
been learned concerning army, tactics.
Surely not very movement has prov
ed as effectual in actual practice as
it was expected to be when mapped
cut on paper. ,
If all this camping and, marching
and fighting-was intended to stimu
late "young America" to enlist more
generally in the service of Uncle, Sam,
we belieye it will have proved a fail
urei We cannot understand how any
young man whp- has made any par
ticular study of army life as it was
lived in this vicinity this week, or
any scrutiny of the companionship
which it afforded, can be in the least
tempted to enter the service. We can
see nothing in it that is attractive or
alluring, nothing which would prompt
parehts to want their sons to accept
it either for sC pastime or a regular
diet. On the other hand, there have
been brought out a great many ob
jectionable features, some of which
the American Peace society might do
well to file away f pr future argu
ments against bullets, bloodshed and
barbarism.
, FIRST THINGS
The first , newspaper published ' In
Baltimore -was issued 139 years ago to
day .Aug. 20, 1773, under the title of
the Maryland Journal, and Baltimore
Advertiser. It was a tiny sheet, con
taining very little reaf news, and of
fers of rewards for run-away slaves
were its . chief source of advertising
revenue. The founder was William
Goddard, and he had - an able assistant
in his sister,; Miss Mary- Catherine
Goddard, said to have been the first
newspaper woman in America. From
the first the paper was strongly anti-.
British. " The Star-Spangled Banner
was first published in Its columns, and
in its office the Declaration of In
dependence was officially printed. Its
first editor was one of the originators
of the United States postoffice system.
The paper is still published under
another name.
Today is the anniversary of the
birth ' of two of the pioneer scientists
of the New World. Samuel L. Mitch
ell, the first American savant to gain
an international reputation, and who
was called the ".Nestor of American
science," was born Aug. 20, 1764, and
Dr. Valentine Mott, "the father of
American surgery," was born Aug:. 20,

Paris, Aug. 20. Hippolyte Dousson,

in the criminal court of Paris. . The

He says Joubert produced before Van
Den Hend'a own eyes 40 grams of sil

Den Hend advanced him $3,000. The

PANAMA CANAL BILL.
Great Benefits Predicted as Result of
the Conference Agreement.
Washington, Aug. 20. The unex
pected early agreement reached by
the conferees of the two Houses on
the Panama Canal bill, in which
agreement the House conferees most
generally prevailed in their conten
tions over the Senate conferees, clar
ifies ihe Panama situation very ma
terially and eliminates another stum
bling block In the way of early adjournment.-
What was expected to
be a hard nut to crack, the opposi
tion of the transcontinental railroads
to certain features of the bill ! as
amended In the Senate, proved easier
of solution than expected, the. repre
sentatives of the railroads content
ing themselves with outspoken de
nunciation of those sections which
will keep railroad-owned vessels out
of the Canal. ;,
Senator-elect . Joseph E. Ransdell,
President of the National Rivers and
Harbors Congress, ' which body has
taken the liveliest possible interest n
the bill as a champion of : free tolls
for coastwise vessels, said to-day in
praise of the , legislation accomplish
ed: - - . : - -- .-. , , -
"The country is tv heheartily con
gratulated upon the passage' of the
Panama Canal bifl, In my judgment
it is as great a piece of constructive
legislative has been enacted inn the
last quarter -cetntury. , . It; breathes
a spirit. of -staunch-Americanism that
is truly refreshing, . It 'is original,
bold fend genuinely constructive.
- "The provision for T free tolls' on
coastwise commerce, is of the greatest
importance, and, in my judgment, will
be productive of vast benefit to the
commerce of the entire Union.
"The provision permitting Ameri
can registry of foreign built ships
owned by Americans, and allowing
our builders to Import free - of duty
material for ship-bulldins. is the
greatest step forward in fifty years
toward the re-establishment of - the
American merchant marine. - It will
do wonders in placing our flag upon
the high seas, and, unless I .am great
ly mistaken,, the criticism made by
all- travelers that an American flag
is rarely seen in the ports of the
world can no longer be uttered. .
"The prohibition against railroad
ownership of boats operated through
the . canal, and , elsewhere (which
means any watercourse in. the Un
ion), is the most advanced step ever
taken to protect waterways ' from un
fair rail competition. It will greatly
promote waterborne , commerce, and
give the nation the, benefit of the
cheapest transportation agency known
to man.
"I am especially pleased as a rep
resentative of the National Rivers
and Harbors Congress with this leg
islation, because we have urged it in
the strongest, possible manner, and
have done our utmost to erystallie
sentiment in its favor." .
