Some of the veteri- narians were of the opinion that other animals besides cattle and hogs dogs were killed. The latter act was a ridjculods one, for the rTeason that dogs can be washed so as to kill all disease germs and there would be no fear that they would carry the disease because of having been ex- posed to it. If it is true that the two men in question have it then the disease may be even more dangerous than it was supposed to be. No efforts/'have been made to effect a cure becdusé just as soon as an animal is fofind to have it it is killed and burie; in quicklime. The infected humsn beings will be treated and perhaps the physicians may learn some things about the disease that the veterinarians do not know. RESPONSIBILITY OF DETECTIVES The bomb throwers in St. Patrick’s cathedral in New York are now set. ting up the claim that it was the des téctive who inveigled them into the kill some wealthy men and that it was he who contributed about sev- enty-five per cent. of the labor in making the bombs. They are also claiming that they should not be held whally responsible for the act. This brings up the ‘question as to how far a detective. should go \n obtaining evidence of another’s guilt. If the detective in this case had met two men innocent of any anar- chistic connections and induced them to put into practice the throwing of bombs, helped them to manufacture them andlto throw them the situation would be different than the present one is understdod to be. He would, have accomplished no good purpose but would have added to the num- ber of anarchists and would have put into operation the work which he as a policeman is supposed to prevent. If on the other hand he came across a nest of anarchists, noted their at- titude and realizing their intentions them, then his method is entirely a differeént matter. It is extremely difficalt to obtain the necessary eYE_g,mfé in certain crimes in a magmeér not to arouse comment. 1, i1l be remembered that when the firebugs set fire to Horace Brown’s barn Detective Nugent was with them when the match was applied. He had to be a witness and was in real- ity a party to the incendiarism at that particular time, not that he desired the ‘destruction of the building, but because he wished to capture the fire- bugs and wanted the necessary evi- dence‘to convict after the arrests. In New York judges of the courts have frowned upon detectives induc- ing the proprietors of saloons to vio- late the liguor law on Sundays and then have them arrested. The facts have not come out the bomb throwing case except in such a manner as have been given out by the accused. The detective’s story may be different. The accused are apt to say things:that may not be true in an effort to escape punish- ment. That has been done repeated- ly by men and even sometimes women when they have been accused of crime and see an opportunity to shift the responsibility onto the police, their natural enemy. Evidence such as that, however, is not always ac- cepted and it may not be in this case. There are a number af people, ever, who are anxious to hear the facts in the case. It would be a peculiar thing if it were the police who made the bomb and advised the throwing ‘of it. in how- FAOTS AND FANCIES. Carter Harrison and Thegdore Rcosevelt haven't much in common politically, but they ought to be able to get together on the proposition that a pitcher may go to the well once to often.—Norwich Record. It’s a bit disappointing not to find any cable news from the war zone an- nouncing the capture of a supply of gcod German bock beer, but perhaps the news is delayed because the cen- sor is waiting for his turn to sample it.—Waterbury Republican. Every little while we arec told by scme persons of prominence how cheap people live. The latest state- ment relative to economical living is credited to a Harvard medical school msn, who is said to have made the glatement that a man can live on ten cents a day. All we have to say of any man can live as cheaply as that he is nothing short of wonder. We would like to see the man who made the statement try the ten-cents-per it it is . be- day diet for a month.—Naugatuck News. the disease of-hogs that claiming | the Worcester case | might become infected and as a result | plot to destroy the cathedral and to| for the tame proceeding after this, and the members may as well hasten through | their allotted work and disperse to spring labor as soon as may be. The weekly, or oftener, game of catch the county commissioner is off. The sport is spoiled. Through some slip, which IS even yet incomprehensible to the dazed beholder, the New Haven re- Dpublican delegation yesterday made a nomination, and one of the finest sporting propositions any legislature has had in ten years is punctured.— New Haven Register. A Boston physician urges men whose hair is falling to cultivate mu- sic, as that tends to make the hair grow. This leads the New York Sun to call attention to the fact that many men in every orchestra are bald. Still these chaps may not be muslcians,.—Meriden Journal. Hartford cannot display too much interest in the proposition for the construction of a trolley link which will connect the lines of the Con- necticut, company terminating at Mid- dletown with those of the Shore Line trolley company terminating at Chester. The construction of this short 1line would do more for the Middlesex valley than anything that has happened since the railroad line was built through it and it would be aiso highly beneficial to the cities of Middletown and Hartford as well as tc points along the shore.—Hartford Post. The house bill which proposes to take away the automobile licenses of all persons addicted to the use of intoxicating liquors is quite in keeping with that question which all motorists must answer when taking out a license, and which asks them whether they use intoxicating liquors “to excess.” Without hes- itation, or any form of lubrication conscience, every ’‘applicant calmly, solemnly writes “No.” And then the secretary of the state wonders how it is so many steering gears wobble under unsteady hands.—Hart- ford Times. The agreement of the humane in- stitutions committee to see the prop- erty which is recommended here for the Schools for Imbeciles, before a de- cision is reached upon a new location for that institution indicates the right disposition and one thoroughly in ac- cord with the interest of the state. That this is an important state schools cannot be questioned and it is ir recognition of the expansion which must come in connection with this work that it is apparent that the pres- ent quarters at Lakeville are inade- quate. The lack of room is already felt and the present location does not afford opportunity for any increase such as must be required in time. it is therefore a good business policy to make a change and use such out- lay as is necessary in the building of _STRIPED McMILLAN'S | FINAL MARK-DOWN SALE OF ALL | WINTER COATS){ SATURDAY CHOICE $3.98 VALUES TO $15.00.

Voting Under the Flag. (Pittsburgh Dispatch.) That order by a Chicago court that American flags must wave from each polling place, displayed both in- side and outside, on primary day, commends itself to public attention. Surely if there is one place and one time when patriotism should be evoked, it is in casting one’s vote in the ballot box. Patriotism has been as- sociated too much and too exclusive- ly with the idea of militarism, of ag- gression and force. The results of that kind of misguided, one-sided patriotism may be measured on the battlefields and in the desolate homes of Europe. It is the same sort of distorted perspective which makes a hero out of a world's champion in the prize ring. Physical 'strength, force and skill are admirable in their place, but there are other qualities, both in nations and in individuals, that make more for progress and civilization. Men can do more to make their country great by a pa- triotic purpose at the ballot box than by prating of victories, vicariously won on the' battlefield. Less vain- glorious flag- waving in defiance and more reverent respect in practice for the institutions and principles the flag represents are in order, and the Chicago suggestion should be emu- lated nation wide. Burrow Like Woodchucks in Earth. (From “The New Conditions in War,” by J. F. J. Archibald, in March Scribner.) I had already pictured in my mind the enormous bodies of troops com- prising this vast army, and as we ap- proached the main position I felt that I had been cheated, for, with the exception of a few straggling battal- ions and an occasional supply-train, there was no army anywhere to be seen. There were more than two milllon men somewhere in the vicin- ity, and yet there were but a few thousand in evidence. I could not be- lieve that we were at the front. T felt sure that we were being deceived by the genial Ober-lieutenant Kliever of the General Staff, who conducted us into the active zone of operations. There was no use to ask any ony re- garding the disposition of the forces, for the only answer would be a shrug of the shoulders and an apparently sincere “Ich weis nicht.” Perhaps they aid not know, but certainly I did not. When the first French aeroplane soared over our heads, I realized that I was seeing an entirely new phase of warfare, new conditions and new problems. I then realized why I had seen no troops. They were hidden under cover of the many thick forests which beauti the hills of France. The entire Germany army had bur- rowed itself into these hills as a hun- ted animal would hide from a hawk. When the army moved, it came out from its cover at night or during the gray mist of the morning. When it struck it s when tke air above v observer. I shall never forget my feel- ing when I first approached one of these forests which gave cover to the tens of thousands of the ever-ready The legislature 01916 must seem a | German soldiery, i D. McMILLAN 199-201-202 Main-Street. Shuttle Meadow Lake. (By James Shepard.) When Shuttle Meadow Lake was new, ¥From all the towns around, The people came to fish and row And bowl the ten pins down. A house stood on the eastern bank Sheltered by rocks and trees. The Dunhams rented boats strove Our many tastes to please. and They made a road high up the cliff For exercising people, An] raised a tower which in our town | Was once the Baptist steeple. Picknickers came from far and near, The fishermen did glory. They may have failed in catching fish, They never failed with story. At length the city did declare Such doings far from nice, No work or play would they permit, Save that of cutting ice. The city grew, the water shrunk, The dam, for long was dry, So then we made a stronger dam And raised it rather high. Our splendid waterworks did give The city such a pull, That with the added souls we gained The lake was seldom full. Then all around our watery eves To every point did look. ‘When in the distance far away. They took in Roaring Brook. And when in time, within our lake That brook let fall its tears. The water soon poured o’er the dam Which had been dry for years, But still our people multiplied, Again the water fell. Hence, on each side our watershed We ran a lengthy ell. One ell was run to Panther swamp, Another to Plainville. With roofs which met through canals And helped the lake to fill. like And that the lake might hold in store The water which should come, We raised the dam some three feet more, And thought the job was done. With water we have taken since That job is well commenced, 'Tis like the worm which dicth not, The fire that is not quenched.
