DIGNIFJED POLITICS.
William Howard Taft set an
example of what might be ex-
‘ pec'ted of a president in the way
~ of political speechmaking when he
addressed the banqueters of the
Swedish American Republican
League in Chicago, Saturday
_ night.
‘3 lief that a president should not
forget the heavy responsibility
reposed with him as chief execu-
, 'tive, even when. in the midst of
the smoke and strife of a political
campaign, the president‘s address
was dignified and calm, but lacked
no} for strength and ‘povvpr.
“In the course of his :remarks,
Mr. Taft took occasion to define
. the “progressive" and followed
{this definition with the assertion
' that as he saw it, his administra-
fltiotl came under this status.
._ .1 .Confident in, the belief that ac-
tions speak louder than words, the
, 15president backed up this assertion
.with a review of the successful
:efforts of the administration in
enforcing the, Sherman anti-trust
law and the efforts put forth to
force big business to square itself
, with the laws of the nation, be-
lieving that this work character-
ized real steps in progress.
That the president is something
I decidedly new in the way‘of a pol-
itician was demonstrated again
when he gave his “distinguished
predecessor" credit for stirring
’ the people up and thereby creat-
ing this progressive movement
with its attendant good results
and needed reforms. In this,
,1" sident Taft showed a lack in
,-,_1',the first essentials of the politic-‘
ion, as defined by the old masters
of the game, but his action stamp-
1 , ’1 ed him as so far above the average
.1 " politician that, in the eyes of the
‘ people, he is beyond the reach of
their reproaches.
The president courageously re-
peated his recent warning to the
American people to defer hasty
1111111611111 accepting new ideas and
arms. He did this with full
edge that in so speaking he
“was likely to incur the displeasure
and criticism of the people as a
hole, who he said were like in-
dusls in that they preferred
cry to having their defects
out to them.

this belief in the square

TAX 0N SAVINGS BANKS.
The statements made by those who
are In charge of the management of
savings banks, at the hearing before
the commission on taxation at the
slate cupltol Friday. showed that the
banks are entitled to more could

general assembly says the Ansonia
Sentinel.
Judge John H. Perry of Southport
went to the very kernel or the ques-
tion when he asked on what principle
the savings banks of that stole were.
taxed. Judge Perry did not object to
the taxation. He wanted It to be
based on a. prlnclple that was de-

makes 11 statement he expresses his
opinions in language whlch conveys
his moaning. When he said that the
princlple on which the savings banks
are taxed Is that of Robin Hood
and that the state lays violent hands

statement should not go unheeded. it
Is not to the credit of the slate of
Connecticut that It should employ a
system of taxation which suggests the

NEW ENGLAND OYSTERS.

George M. Bowers. commissioner
of the human of fisheries of the do
purtmom of commerce fund labor of
the United Slates, has issued s chart

been made public In an authoritative
form. Going back to 1880 the Intel
production of oysters in New England
111111 year was 536,650 bushels. worth
$053,725. Lost your the total out-
put was 0,527,821 bushels worth 83.-
587,719, a truly tremendous increase.
0f the New England production In
1910 Massachusetts hull 287, 543 1111-
she-ls wo1ti1 $335 524; Rhode Island
showed 2,268, 273 bushels, valued at
$1,308,701. and Connecticut brought
up her amount to 3,272,000 bushels.
valued at $1,885,821. This output In
Connecticut greatly exceeds that of
the other two states. and a compari-
son of the figures for Connecticut In
1880, which give 336,150 .bushels,
with that in 1910 which is 3,272,000
bushels, show :1 wonderful develop
ment. Quite a. large part, if not
most of the 01 stars credited to Rhode
Island, were Connecticut seed re

Narragansett Bay for maturing pur-
poses. Dr. Wliey would forbid the

METHODISTS' ACTION APPROVED
Zion's Herald, the organ of New
England Methodlsm, published In Bos-
ton. Mass, In Its Issue of February
28, contnlns this item:
“The Evening Sentinel of South
Norwalk, Conn, of February 21, says:
‘The quarterly conference of First
Church, South Norwaik, recently con-
ferred a distinctive honor upon Rev.
Dr. W. H. Thomas by electlng him
'pastor emeritus' of that church Thus
to Dr. Thomas Is accorded the fever
or being the first Methodist clergyman
In the East to be related to Method-
lsm.‘ It may be that such action by a
local church. It It could be mode-more
general. would help the church and
bring about a more cordial, happy and
useful relation between the veto on
preacher, and the church where h 10-
cates tor the closing scene. It iilll be
a. cheerful thing for the old poster to
meet a friendly welcome and s kindly
home. and feel the glow of
hearts as age chills his life.”
It appears that this notion of the ,
11111 church has found mount“ on
approved In with circles of "
place by the dmide of the church

displayed a rcvolucr while engaged in
pliket duty (In the no) to the 3111
Hon house with their captive the olll

e1.1i hundred persons. Just below the
station was ”embed the elowd surged
in on the pollte and It seemed for a
minute that on organized attempt to
rescue the prisoner was to be made.
The police succeeded in driving back
the crowd. Six of the leaders In the
demonstration were arrested, and four
of them were women.
The slrlkels mode the biggest dem-
onstration of plckctlng today since
the strike begun. it was ostlmstcd
that more than live thousand persons
paraded Essex 11nd other streets. The
greater part of the crowd was happy,
evidently believing that the end of the
strike was at hand.
The conference committee of Milk“
ers expected to so to Boston today for :
11 canference with officials of the Am-‘
erlcan Woolen Company and the leg-
islative committee on conciliation. A
settlement with the American Woolen
company was looked upon as likely
to occur. It was believed that a set,
tlsment with this company would ro-
sult In nearly every mill I11 this city,
making terms with Its employee.
With the exception of the Wood and
Arlington plants. the mills made who
gains I11 the number of operatives.
‘The Wood and Arlington forces were
augmented by about 100 each.
The striker-8' firm showing along
the picket lines was due to the pend-
‘lng negotiations with the American
Woolen Company. The leaders desir-
ed that no display of weakness on the
port or the Idle operatives should be
made at this time, 11 the hope that a
show of strength would have .much,
influence on the mill owpers.

fifty prr cent. of the 350,000 miners
employed there obeyed the coil of
their leaders to cease work. Accord-
lng to reports received from the
mInes, 'the first shifts to descend the
pits this morning were considerably
affected, but the results were varied
at the dill'erent mines. ' in some dls-
lrlcls the cessation of work was prac-
tically complete, while In others only
frOm fifteen to thirty per cent. of the
men struck.
Large forces of police are on duty
everywhere throughout the region,
but the, strikers generally have kept
quiet and only two Isolated attacks on
non-strikers have been reported.
The conflict Is quite as much a
struggle betwen the leaders of the
rival socialist andnomSocIaiist un-
ions as betwen the mine owners and
for holding their followers well In

depend upon how for the feeling of
solidarlty with their striking com-
rades of the Socialist mlners' unions

for strlke'bresklng will cause many
breaks In the units ol'those who have
hitherto not struck work: ,
Public Opinion In the Westphalia

during the last great strike Is now re-
ported to be largely against the strik-
are.

PARIS, March ll.—About two-
thlrds of the coal miners of France
hovo responded to the appeal of the
General bliners' Federation to strike
for twenty-four hours. This action of
the miners is not directed against the
mine owners, but is designed to show
the government the “solidarity” of the
miners, and as a warning to Parliap
