The reports of the operation and bene-

bill for the encouragement, regulation
andenpervieion of such associations is
pending in the General Assembly, having
been referred to the committee on banks
, of [which committee Senator Ferris is
chairman on the part of the Senate, and
Representative Keeler chairman on the
part of the House.
Several bills on the subject have been
introduced, but the bill to which we
make reference is one prepared by rspre
ssntatives of the Connecticut assccie
clone. including the one here in Norwalk.
It may be presumed to represent the
"best thought and experience of the oil-
-osrs of the Connecticut wisdom. and,
therefon,should appeal with considerable

on banks and to the legislators generally.
It deals both with home and out-clubs

Foreign associations objecting to such
liberalprovisions must have other fun
tlves upon entering Connecticut than the
desire to furnish a safe investment and a
lenitirlate return.
Two years ago attempted legislation
regarding building and loan associatiom
failed, because of the opposition thorou-
of representatives of foreign ass' ciations.
We trust. now that the subject is better
known,through the publication of the
result of the inquiry conducted by the-
Bureau of Labor Statistics, that 1here
will be no miscarriage this time. There
certainly would be none if the members
of the General Assembly knew of the
good qualities of local building and loan
associations. as we know them from ex-
perience here in Norwsllr; and if they
knew that the pending bill represented
the wishes of the two thousand and more
members of these associations in Connec-
ticut. Thsdeslrss of home constituents
should have more weight with Connecti-
cut law-makers than the objections of
foreign moneyuehen, particularly when
those objections are not well based.
Harry states practically exclude foreign
annotations. but the members of the
.1 Connecticut associations, in the bill
drafted by them. have been most liberal
and unselfish.

such as reporters would have been glad

about the formation of an nnticigarette
league among the public'scbool boys. A
little Italian girl gives an animated
narrative of how herself and her broth-
er attempted to touch monkeys to talk,
as they understood Garner had tried to
do. The monkeys belonged to their
father. The result was that one monkey
bit the girl's thumb severely, and nnv
other broke loose and ate up a bunch of
bananas the children’s father had
brought home, and the scientific inves-
tigators bad to go without breakfast for
punishment.
Altogether the outlook for rcporto-
rial talent in Chicago for the future is
excellent. The Tribune has by this hap-
py experiment added undoubtedly to its
own circulation, stirred up an interest
in English among teachers. and school
children, and also induced many of

About Forelgn Flags.
The sensitivities of some people are "
just too tender for anything. Here now
in Colorado, whose legislature has gone
and passed a law prohibiting the flying
of any foreign flag in that state except
over the consular houses of other na-
tions. This was a full silly thing to do
A few years 11303 party of American
tourists were going up the River Rhino
on tho steamboat Kaiser Wilhelm. At
one point they rounded a bluff, when
suddenly from the most prominent point
of the grounds of a beautiful villa on
the bill above the shore there burst upon
their delighted view a Modsomc Amer-
ican flag, gracefully floating in the
breeze from the top of a tall flagpole. A
glad and mighty cheer burst from tho
throats of all those patriotic Americans.
It was like a messago from home. The
simple story was that an American citi-
zen had built a villa on the Rhine, a
magnificent one it was, erected by means
méfiéa’fi‘d unto-He'lovcdhisown
country so the he kept the stars and
stripes flying from the peak of the hill
always. If the emperor of (lormauy
could put up with this, certainly the
American republic ought to allow citi‘

rily amongus to fly the flags of their re-
spcrtivo native lands. And whether over

As with civilized communitius. so it is
with civilized nations. When a pcoplo,

on humanity, such as murder, enslave-
