HOW TO AVOID MORE PUNISHMENT;
The Hartford Courant is not too old to learn better
ways. Appears in its columns this morning a glimmer of
recognition of the meaning of the last election ;
'! it isn't getting mixed; then we await '.
clearer elucidation. There is one lesson from it
all and it must be taken in. That is that the Re
publicans are on their good behavior, the very
best- they have. Any other course means prob
ablv present wreck and certainly future punish- .
..; merit." : ' -
--.-A' little late, but excellent now that The Courant HAS
grasped it. At any time during the past five years The
Courant might have established from the columns of this
newspaper the certainty that because Republicans were
not giving "the best they had," but the very WORST
that' wreck and "future punishment" would follow.
. .. . .The -wreck has come. The punishment has been inflicted.--
The -question is, how much can be saved from the
wreck 1 ' " . . .. ' -
' How much future punishment can be avoided1? What
is the BEST that Republicans in the General Assembly
have in them, selected as they were se1eeted. most of .them,
by-such head men as:Republicansplaced dominant over
party counsels? ' s
. . That is the question. Bonds , of reaction cannot be
imejiiatelyv thrown off. It is hard to teach old Courants
new.iricks. It is harder yet for old machine politicians
to learn new tricks. -
' Some advice, quite free of charge! v
Both Demo'crats and Republicans must cease playing
politics, arid cease 'treating the state Jas a source of: reve
nue for political profits. " Patronage must not be the
principle object of the new government. .
Republicans and Democrats must: zealously seek to
carry out the plain mandates of the people. ; .-. .
r There must -be no more prblnise breaking, no more
jockeying for graft, no more fawning "upon the railrdad
lobby. There, must be no
must be a General Assembly representative of the citizen
ship of-Conrieeticut, the chief work of which during this
session shall be to do what the parties promised to do,
by passing legislation which the people demand. V V

Seven 'Presbyterian Churches in
'' Washington Want President
and Vice President-EIect to
"Worship There . .. -? ..
. Princeton, Nov.". 11. It was stated I.
at Gov. Wilson's horned today, -that
since his ' election " the president has
received ' enough invitations to make
an address in various sections of the
United States and to appear at various
functions "to Tteep him busy right up
to inauguration day. None has been
accepted -and it ia not believed the
presidentelect will consent to make
a public appearance before he is in
augurated unless some -extraordinary
event materializes. ' The governor was .
amused when told that' there were
seven Presbyterian churches in-Wash. '
ington all of which were anxious to
be selected as the- place where .the -
President and ViceV-president, both of
whom are Presbyterians, - shall wor
ship. ' . :
"It is a peculiar coincidence that
both Vice-President-elect Marshall
and myself are Presbyterians," he
said, "but. I am glad there are enough
churches of that denomination -in
Washington to go around."
The President-elect's mail Con
tinues to grow despite his most de
termined efforts to reduce its volume.
"While many of the letters are per
sonal congratulations there are others
which suggest men for jobs and still
others which explain to the President-elect
what he ouerht to do when
he gets to Washington. Every letter j
is read and answered as Ear as possi
ble without following any regular
form. . .
' Wilson is getting considerable
amusement out of the stories brought
to him by visitors of the enthusiasm
with which his merits- are discussed
by "Charley" Guinn, the "village
hackraan." Guinn controls the only
two taxicabs in Princeton and when
asked to 'drive visitors to the Wilson
home dilates -on the -democracy of , the
next President..
"I have driven the governor for 15
years," Charley declares, "and I have
driven when .he was president of
Princeton, when he was governor and
I will haul him as President. In all
those years he has been considerate,
pleasant and democratic The fact
that he has been getting into higher
and higher places has never feazed
him.' He is as democratic, today, as
he was 15 years ago."
' AT A MOTHER'S MEETING
the wife of a noted New Yorfc divine
said' to her listeners, "Wach careful

ment. Mothers should see that nature
is assisted, if necessary, to perform
its offices and keep heir . daughters
well informed as. to matters pertafn

Providence, R. I., Nov. 11 Construc

thei" proposed extension of the Grand
Trunk system In Rhode Island and
Massachusetts, has been ordered stop
ped,' by President Edson J. Chjimber
lin, of the Grand' Trunk. The order is
effective immediately, throwing 2,300
laborers "out of work, and is an
nounced as being "for an indefinite
period." President Chamberiin- said
in a telegram from Montreal, answer
ing a message of inquiry from this
city: ....
"Temporary stoppage of work on the
Southern New England is a precau
tionary measure brought' about by an
unsettled money market."
John S. Murdock, vice president and
attorneys or the Southern , New - Eng
land, the?fbhry official of the road here
today,' refused- to discuss a report that
the ordier" followed the reaching of an
agreement between the Grand Trunk
and the New York, New. Haven &
Hartford railroad interests.- During
the past few years the New Haven
road has appeared before legislative
committees in opposition to Grand
Trunk projects in New England.
Saturday it- was announced from
Concord, N. H., tihat the Sullivan
county railroad; a New Haven 'sub
sldiary, had withdrawn its petition
for leave to extend Its line on the
New "Hampshire banks of , the Con
necticut river so as to parallel the
tracks of the Central Vermont. The
latter road is a part of the- Grand
Trunk system.
The construction companies in this
State , and Massachusetts have about
2,300 - laborers employed for the rail
road' building. " The men are .mostly
Italians. They . will not he paid off
until next Friday, it is said, and the

MELLEN WON'T COMMIT SELF.
New Haven, Nov. 11 In regard to
the discontinuance of work on -. the
Southern New England Railroad Com
pany, a message received m New Ha
ven from President Charles S. Mel1 en
of the New Torn, New Haven & Hart-
foard Railroad Comprny, who is now
in stocjobriage, Mass., says:
- "He has no knowledge of the- dis
continuance of the work on the Southern-
New; England about Providence,
and that if the work has been discon
tinued, it has probably been for some
local reason the weather, financial or
some other reason of that kind, and
of which he Is not advised."
Nothing can be learned from ; rail
road officers here, but it Is said that
the discontinuance of work would 1&
one logical ; result of an agreement be
tween ithe New York and the Gra nd
Trunk.. . ,. ,
As bearing 1 on, "the reported, a-ee-ment
t, is pointed out here that Presi
dent Hayes of the Grand Trunk, who
was lost on the Titanic, was strongly
in- favor of. the extension of the Grand
Trunk system to " Providence by the
Southern New England and that his
death may have changed the rival pol

which before his death, had reach-id
an acute stage.

YANKEE FOOTBALL MY EYE!
'TIS A BALLY QUEER GYMEt
Next Saturday the hjg stadium at
Cambridge, Mass., will be the scene
of the annual football - game between
Harvard and Dartmouth, ancient ene
mies of the --gridiron. It is recalled
that it was by witnessing a- contest
between the gladiators of these insti
tutions, a,, year or two ago, that Mr.
Keble Howard,, of London, was in
itiated into- the mysteries and alleged
delights of the Yankee brand of foot
ball, so. .different from th sport of
the same'jbame to which he was ac
customed on the other side of the At
lantic. JMx. ' Howard viewed the Har-vard-Dartinouth
fracas as the corres
pondent bf" the London Sketch, and
his impressions were published in that
periodical. He said:"-
"My English readers who have not
visited America will be able to form
some idea of the importance attach
ed to. f ootball in this country when I
tell them that the stadium seats
something like 40,000 people, and is
built of solid stone. We do not go
that length in England even for our
beloved horse-racing. , ' Immediately
facing me was an. enormous placard
bearing the word 'Dartmouth.' Be
neath this were assembled in close
formation the Dartmouth 'cheering
section' and the . Dartmouth brass
band. On the other side of the sta
dium was. the Harvard -'cheering sec
tion' and the Harvard brass brand.
The 'Dartmouth cheering section was
under the control of two gentlemen
who kept their backs to the game the
greater part of the afternoon. Theirs
not to reason why; thirs but to keen
the supporters of Dartmouth in a. con
stant state of mental and trachael In
flammation. The excitement and en
thusiasm of the women struck me as
most extraordinary. In England, if
a woman goes to a football match.
she- spends half the time in criticizing
the colors of the jerseys, and a the
other lamenting the fact that her feet
are cold. There is nothing of that
sort about the American woman. Di
rectly the teams appear on the field,
she begins to call out, jump up and
down In her seat, ana clap her hands.
I have said nothing as yet about the
players. The players are heroes to a
man. T hear,' said a Harvard under
graduate to me as we were walking
back .to his rooms, 'that one of our
freshmen had his neck broken this
afternoon in the game against the Yale
freshmen. ' 'Dear, dear!' I replied.
'I'm awfully sorry to hear that!'
'Yes,' my friend continued, 'so was T.
If it's correct, we shall have to post
pone the Yale-Harvard match next
Saturday'."
