EBENEZER HILL.
The community loses a valuable cit-
izen in the death of Ebenezer Hill,
treasurer and general manager of 'I‘ho1
Norwslk Iron Works Company, andl
president of The National Batik of
Norwalk. He has always stood out
conspicuously as one of our prominent
captains of industry. During former
years his management of the great
manufacturing plant in our city has
proven a great benefit to the working
men of the community, and the MM
amicable relations have always exist-
ed between employer and employees.
The products of his plant are known,
around the world. and they have
brought prestige to our city and state.

Hill was never too busy to give:

A YEAR OF EUGENICS. i
It develops that the first year 4
operation of W isconsin's new eugenics
law there were 1,000 fewer marriages
of
than the previous year, a decline oi
nearly 20 per cent.
The opponents of the law are point-
ing to this as evidence of the folly
and iniquity of the measure itself. its
defenders, however. insist that the
chief reason for the decrease was "”19
great prevalence of certain diseases
in the state," which disqualified large
numbers of prospective hridcgrooms
from getting the necessanbertificatcs
of health.
other causes are mentioned,
as the natural decline of marriages in
’a year of financial depression. and the
refusal of eligible citizens to submit
to such high-handed questioning oi
their inalienable right to marry. Many
of the latter class. it appears. went
outside the state to have the wedding
ceremony performed. it seems evi-
dent. however, that the number actual.
ly prevented from marrying because
of their suffering from the particular
ailments discriminated against by the
law must have been considerable.

the Wisconsin board of health more,

naval needsof the country than the
House has shown. The Senate com-
mittee on naval affairs recognizes the
high value of submarines and aero-
planes, as revealed in recent sea-
fighting.
As the naval appropriations bill
passed the House, it allowed for only
nine submarines. The Senatecom-
mittee has raised the total allotment
of submarines to 21. sixteen of them i regardless of the mooted question-
for coast defense and five of the large
seagoing sort. capable of long cruis-
es, At the same time it has raised the
appropriation for naval aeroplanes
from the $300,000 allowed by the
House to an even $1,000,000. which is
little enough.
In these recommendations the Sea-
ate committee is fairly well agreed
with the naval experts and the public
at large. There is no longer any ques-
tion of the merit of undersea craft.

they seem particularly effective for
the protection of our long stretches of
coast and our numerous exposed sea-
ports, Their moderate cost in compari-
son with battleships or cruisers makes
them the most economical of all war
vessels.
As for aeroplanes, they have prov-‘
ed themselves invaluable both by land
and sea for scouting purposes. We
are starting the development of an air
fleet rather late. considering that the
art of flying originated in this coun-
try; now, if the Senate does its duty
we'll begin making up for lost time.

When half of a “neutral" audience
gets up and goes out of the hall he-
plays "The Star-
Bpangied Banner," as it did in Mil
wankee the other night, there must be
something seriously wrong either with
the band or with the neutrals. k
rule may be. Sam Jones saw his hold
gon Toledo loosened, Tom Johnson lost
;his grip on Cleveland. Now even the
gunman regime in Chicago is broken

iSecond for the Democratic re-aomiua—

l kit's just as well so. Five times for
:fathsr and five times for sun ought to
satisfy any family and any city. And
iwilmher Mayor Harrison's “minis
ltratlon has been good or had. the
fciiange will doubtless benefit Chicago.
Any entrenched party or individual
idevelops abuses after a while, and
ithey grow worse from year to_ year.
Eli. always looks to the “ins" as if the
iheavens are fsiling‘ when they are
irelegated to private life; but the new
yadministration. no matter what its
fpersonnel, generally makes improve-
? meats. Dead timber is lapped off, new
1 blood is injected into policies and de-
ipartmcnts, new ideas are given a
:{chance And then. after a while, that
!regime, too. has to pass and make way
‘for a new one.
Carter Harrison has doubtless done
much for Chicago, and he has also
doubtless retarded Chicago’s growth
in some essentials. A mayor genuine
i_\' representing the Chicago spirit as
Tom Johnson, in his best years. repre-
sented the spirit of Cleveland. could
work marvels with the metropolis
whose motto is. “1 Will!" Chicago,
with its boundless energy and ambi-

continually nullify each other's efforts,
