THE MINISTERS AND NORWALK
POLITICS.
Political seal often runs away with
both political fairness and discretion.
It looks as though this was the case
in the City of Norwallt‘s political sit-
nation.
Two or three days ago there was, it
is said, what might seem to be an un-
called for delnand that the Norwaik
Mlnisters' Association should refrain
from any interest or expression in the
political affairs of the City. of Nor-
walk. u: *1
Considerable surprise was Expressed
at this report. inasmuch as It had nev-
er been generally known that this
asmiatlon‘had entered illto the party
politics of either of the cities. None
- , apparently were more surprised than
the ministers themselves. Upon in-
quiring of one of the South Norwalk
members of the Ministers‘ Association
he stated that while he had been pres‘
out at every meeting of the association
he had never heard the City of Nor~
walk politics even discussed or con-
eidered.
It is now said that it is realized that
a political mistake was made and it
remains to be seen as to how it can
be rectified. Those who presented Ed-
win 0. chler as a candidate for may-
or did :30. professedly. because he
would unite all factions of the Repub-
lican party in Norwalk. lbumor now
has It from Norwalk 'that the
' “:5er of the politicians
«on the Ministers' Association Ill
general. and upon Mr. Egbert ill
has immediately result
ed in dividing‘ the party III such a
way as to greatly injure Mr Keeler's
candidacy.
‘We knew of course that the Minis-
ters' Association was Interested in the
general question of municipal reform.
but we had never seriously-supposed
that, as a body. it had entered Into par-
ty politics. or course its various mem-
bers have beenJinown to exercise
I ~ their prerogatives as individuals. al-
though we do not think they have done
this to any great extent, and certainly
in no improper way.
The outcome of this divisive situa-
tion which has been created will be
awaited with interest III the municipal
politics oi the City of Norwalk. it
looks as if something was back of It
all.

t CLEAR rHs- DEATH TRAN.
It should not be necessary to have
a frightful holocaust occur to amuse
the public to ll realisation of the ne-
'pcssity of tailing simple precautions.
which intime of need will save many
lives. An investigation of conditions
in this city leads inevitably to the be
lief that there is entirely too much
carelessness on this score, and the
city may awake too late .to the terri-
ble consequences of the laxity.
As we understand it, the duty of
the fire Inspector is to make an in-
Motion of the buildings where peo-
ple dwell In numbers and where any
considerable number gather for busi-
ness or pleasure. make recommenda-
ti‘ne, slid if' they are not carried out.
to report them to the proper authori-
. ties, who will see that they are com-
piled with.
Allied if he had made a report for
this your. Fire Inspector Harold F.
Clark replied that he has not yet, but
v,Idded' the query. “What's the use?"
' though he Intends to turn in a report
:icoording to the annual custom. Press-
, * ed hir an explanation he said he made
“moron, recommendations last year
fol-safegus'rding property and lives.
,' and that all of them. were ignored.
The old dangers continue. and new
on" have developed. These dangers
ninth old and new affect public and
‘rlvato property. and we are awaiting
:tio' inspector's report for this year
With some impatience. in the event
W ignored. we may desire to sup-
' . t the report.

some mm particular death om'
put been the butt of ridicule for some
United Stat. editors. It is noted.
however, that when a big piece of
news breaks out in these times it Is
oftentimes the London Times, now
run by an Englishman who has Amer-
Icsn Ideas largely, that gets the story
but and compels American newspap~
era to buy the right to use it, Atten-
tion is also in!“ to a recent feat of
quick anal-pensive work by a Lon-
don newspaper. lt decided that lord
Rosebery'g speech in Glasgow would
at this time be important and worthy
news. So its men handled the speech
at Glasgow as it was delivered. In re
lsys sent it by telephone to Motion,
and there It was set up in type inch
by inch as the copy came; and when
the speech was ended or a short time
later, the last of it was In type and
the newspaper was quickly on the
street. The speech took eight col-
umus. Mighty few speeches delivered
in this country are ever regarded by
American news editors as worth eight
columns. but that doen't dim the per-
formmce of the Iloudon newspaper for
speed, for painstaking, and for will-
ingness to pay a very considerable
telephone hill. And then, looked over
the speech, over the telegrams froln
all ovr the world costing a prettcy pen-
ny, over the local and general news
and writing, and dropped the sheet
with a yawn and said, "Oh, there's
nothing in the paper today!"

FREE SCHOOL SUPPLIES.
As was expected. the action of the
board of school visitors at their mect- ,
lug Tuesday evening, In declaring in
favor of discontinuing free supplies in
the public schools, outside of the kin-
dergartcns. has caused much comment
throughout the town. The school visi-
tors. however. appear to be sincere in
their action, which was taken after
careful observation of how dealing out
supplies works out, and they desired
to havo the next town meeting say
whether this town expense shall be
cut out hereafter. There seems to be
a more or less widespread opinion
that the pupils are more wasteful of
supplies if furnished them than would
be the case were they obliged to buy
them. The board had reference sim-
ply to supplies—pads, pencils, etc.,
and not text books, as has been sup-
posed iu some quarters.

WISE ADVICE.
Do not worry; out three square
meals a day; say your prayers; be
courteous to your creditors: keep
your digestion good; go slow and
easy. Maybe there are other things
that your special case requires to
make \ou happ\. but. my friend, these
I reckon will give you a good lift.—

The ultimate consumer should not
forget that the present tariff rates
which the president has undertaken to
defend. are only tentative. They may
be raised twenty-five per cent against
the products of any nation which pre-
sumes to “discriminate"——ln other
words. to give the, preference. to such
countries as are willing to do business
upon fair terms. But Ihis maximum
tariff. designed as a punishment for
such presumption. will in the long
run react upon ourselves. ’ “Retalia-
tion." the. New York Journal of Com-
merce well says. “does not consist in
compelling foreigners to pay higher
duties, hut in wrupelllng our own peo-
ple to pay them to hurt the trade of
foreigners and their own at the same
time." The old proverb about biting
your nose off to spite your face illus-
trates exactly the position of the
standpattcra—Provldeuce Journal.

The present condition of the brick
pavement in Wall street, Norwalk. is
becoming quite a problem. During the
present wet weather, the pavement Is
covered with a film of slippery and oily
mud, tracked on from the section of
the highway oil-treated. Some people
declare that this condition is in some
respects a blind blessing in that it
keeps automobiles from .using the
pavement for a race course. Machin-
res that do not slacken their pace wal-
low and skid helplessly about in the
