The vote upon the consolidation of the school districts of Norwich which was defeated by only 60 majority is an indleation of what may be ex- pected to take place in the near fu- ture. As to the superior advantages of a \onsolidated system there s no question, whether the subject is con- sidered from an economical or a pro- gressive standpoint. There is some- thing to be gained by having one moard of education, one school super- intendent and one standard of achieve- ment for all the pupils. This would put out of service sev- eral school boards and some district superintendents and quite likely a few school teachers, and In the interest of better work a few small sechool houses. It might be a disappointment 10 & few ambitious citizens anxious to serve the people in this honorable service, but it would mean reduced bills and a more concentrated and ef- fective school system. When this question comes up again for decislon by the people we may as well conclude that it will be a fri- umph instead of a defeat. WE HAVE *ENOUGH LAW. During the campaign fust ended the lcense men have made one claim with reference to the law which Is worthy of attention. They have said: “What is the matter with these fel- Jow (alluding to the no-license lead- ers). We have a strict license law and it it was enforced, the restric- tions wo have applied, the business would be well enough as it is!” Now why is mot the license law enforced? The principal reason is that this great community has made it no one's duty to enforce it. We all think that it is the other fellow’s duty—that enforcement of the law be- Jongs to the police. It does when the community stands for the law and the police know that they have back of them in their action the solid moral support of the community. ¢ the opponents of this strictness n make sneaks of business men and all who have personal interests at stake cowards, then they can bull- dosze the police and dishonor the pro- vislons of their licenses. We are all to blame for this loose condition of things. It does no good for prohibitionists to say it is up to those who vote license to see that the license law is strictly obeyed, for we do mot belleve in it; or for the li- cense men to say that they should think that the no-license men would now commence an active campaign to force saloon keepers to respect the Jaw, When this community says the Jaw must be respected it will be; and when it shows the police it means business they will immediately do bus- iness. No class of citizens is responsible for this slackness—the blame rests evenly upon us all. THE BANNER STATE FOR POTA- TOES. Maine holds the banner for growing the greatest number of bushels of po- tatoes to the acre, and while the a: erage vield per acre is only 84.8 bush- els, that state shows an average of 235 bushels to the acre, which demon- strates that potatoes grow in the state of Maine as they grow nowhere else in this land; and the potato belt in which two-thirds of all the Irish potatoes are grown is composed of the northern tier of states extending from Maine to North Dakota, Nebraska be- ing the only state west of the Mis- mouri river to rank among the leaders producing potatoes, The leaders rank in the following order: New York, Maine, Michigan, Wisconsin, Penn- sylvania, Ohio, Iowa, Illinois, Minne- ®ota and Nebraska. Connecticut does not get into the limelight, but she grows as §ood po- tatoes in limited quantities as are to be found anywhere. A COMMENDABLE QUEST. The endeavor of the Providence Journal to find out wh¥ the cheapest cuts of meat are seliing for three cents @ pound more in New England cities than in somp other cities js pleasing 10 the consumers everywhere. The) Journal ‘finds that “in Baltimore and Philadelphia, for example, the best porterhouse steak retails at 22 and 25 cents. In Providence second-grade worterhouse costs as high as 40 cents. In Baitimore and Philadelphia the cholcest cuts of sirloin sell for 18 and 20 cents. In Providence the con- sumer is forced to pay 36 Lo 40 cents for sfeak of a lower grade. In New York first-grade beef costs six cents @ pound less than inferior beef in Providence, These figures certainly are not calculated to make the Prov- {dence consumer feel that the retail meat dealer is his friend.” The Journal says further that “the Dbest advertisement that a city can haye is reasonable cost of food sup- plies. What are the men who a few months ago inaugurated ‘a boom for Providence’ doing to put Frovidence ‘on equality with other seabuard cities in this respect? This question is well put. The place which presents advantages of trade to wisitors grows in population, and ‘those which are low to sell produce in @nd dear in price for other goods fail idents, Chieago News says: Some of medical students are learn- business from the ground up. ¥ begin to master the treatment _eontusions and open wounds by lieting both on one another. k Bulletiz |ome™ rice, 12¢ & week; S0c a BE A TROLLEY CON- DUCTOR. A Lawrence, Kan, minister has left the pulpit to become & trolley car conductor. While this looks like a step down for the Rev. D. H. Car- rick, it looks to us like a ‘step up for him, for it is, he claims, the only way he can lead an honest life. Read what he has to say concerning his own experiences as a pulpiteer: “If the minister preaches the truth he will be condemning the lives of most of his congregation and offend- Instead of preaching their convictions, the rministers of the gos- pel avoid anything that might tread upon personal grounds for fear of of- fense. He passes over this and that and lives a lie every day of his life in order nmot to offend the influential members of his congregation.’ ‘What a sorry time of it he has had beoause he would “speak right out in meeting.” If he had known How to present the truth to his people, per- haps his experiences would have been entirely different; and it he does not know how to control the electric juice any better than he knew how to pre- sent the truth, or open up the treas- ures of the Gospel to an audience, he is likely to make & mighty poor con- ductor. Out of his own mouth comes the evidence for his condemnation. EDITORIAL NOTES. It is not the good who die young any more, but the automobile drivers and those who get in their sway. Do not think that a baseball fan ever goes into the silence. He keeps rupning on the has-beens and what's- | to-be. Happy thought for today: The satisfaction of being with the Winning side cannot always be counted as a virtue, General Grant speaks up when it comes to doing his duty. He doesn’t belleve in the duty that is done on the sly. Do not look at your opposing neigh- bor as it you pitied him because of his wickedness—he is only different, that is all. Harry Whitney is in a position now to know what a lot of things are be- ing said about Cook and Peary that are not so. President Taft stands for the wel- fare of the people, and the wonder now is how he is going to get by Cannon and Aldrich Talk about 99-cent bargains, late Mr, Harriman left a legal will of 99 words that conveyed all his millions to his wife. the | The people who are quietly taking their vacation now because they were not able to take one before have no reason for regrets. A garden snail has been found by scientists to have a pull of half a pound. This is equal to any political pull yet reported. The smile that never comes off is not a sign of goodness. Vice Presi- dent Sherman wears one, and he has no repute as a saint. With a quarter of a million for his book and $10,000 a lecture during the winter Dr. Cook ought to be able to keep ‘jovial until spring. In New York state they are apply- ing the law to sellers of oleomargarine and fining them from $300 to' $1,000 each. That means business. Roscoe Conkling had his “Me-too!” and Peary may have thought he had his in Harry Whitney, but he didn't know how to play the role. Less coal has been mined in Penn- sylvania this year than last, but those who have full coal bins need not an- ticipate any immediate trouble. A Jersey, bride lived on eggplant for four weeks and then quarrelled with her husband. This is enough to stir the fighting blood in an angel. It is predicted that the great men of the future are coming from the American cities. It is time ‘they showed up their scholars and gen- fuses. Down in Maine they have newsless newspapers as well as horseless car- riages, We thought that the day of the newsless newspaper had been passed. We can realize how a woman gets thrown into a man’s lap in a trolley car; but how a man can break his| collarbone rising to give @ woman a seat is beyond us. Philadelphia does not know how milk nine cents a quart can be sold for less than five cents & pint. ¥ regular customers at four cents one day and five cents the next. Cook's Philadelphia Lecture. The conquest of the North Pole was achieved _again by Dr. Cook in his lecture. With vivid picture and still more vivid words Te carried the 3,000 persons who filled the Academy on his trip from July 3, 1907, to the “Big nail,” on April 21, 1908; and then back to the meeting with Harry Whitney at Annootok, in Greenland. In almost a conversational way he told his story, simply, directly. He used the personal pronoun but once or twice, and mentioned the name of | Peary at the very outset of his talk as an_explorer, like Melville and Gree- ley, Nansen and Sverdrup, whose prior suceesses in battling with the polar regions were the stepping-stones of his own dash to the “top of the world.” Of personal adventures, of life| struggles against famine and against | cold, he spoke always as “our” fights or the successes “we” achieved. And though the interest was tense when the explorer carried his hearers to the | top of the globe, breaking out in lons- | continued applause as there flashed upon the screen the ice-hut with the | stars and stripes fluttering over it to| mark the very tip of the world; the discoverer told his story calmly “Really there was nothing at all wonderful about the pole itself, noth- ing but ice, ice, ice, just the same as 100 miles south, and loneliness and icy despair,” he added, with no effort at effect, indeed; with a simplicity tht | made’ his words dramatic: “We were glad to get there and we were glad to_get back.” The tense attention of every one in the audience was relieved, as the im- pressive silence was broken by laugh- ter when ‘he continued, somewhat plaintively: “Really, there was noth- hx" particularly attractive to keep us the But the audience’s interest was not relaxed when Cook turned his home= ward way; indeed, the most dramatic story of the two-hours' talk of day o4 10 be paralyzed, and the cases are be. A little boy poked a paper under the big man’s nose. “Baseball uxtry,” cried the lad. “See here, boy,” said the man, as he fished a coin out of his pocket. “How much do you make on this paper?” “We git 10 for a nickel. and sell ‘em fer a cent apiece, repiled the boy, scratching one bare leg with the toes of the other, “Pretty fair percentage of profit; but how many do you sell? ‘Bout a hundred a day week days, and T makes two dollars on de Sun- days.” . umph,” grunted the big man. Three dollars and two make five. What do you do with all that money?” “Well,” said the lad, sitting down with a sober look on his face, “eatin’ costs me a dollar a week, and I gives mother the rest.” “But don't you go in for any candy and toys, excursions down the bay, oF don't need 'em.

The Syracuse Sun says in an edi- torial: a The state of Connecticut has come into the possession of a startling law, as we learn from the Catholic Tran- script. The measure referred to is one o sterilize proved idiots, con- sumptive and crimirals. ‘The cranks responsible for its passage assert that | people of such classes must not be al- lowed to reproduce their species. “The law is unhuman, un-Christian and unconstitutional. It is, also, bas- ed on an approved, umscientific the- ory. It assumes that such people act- ually do produce children like them- selves. “There is nothing whatever in the theory of heredity. The ablest sci- ologists of the world abandoned it a decade ago. As it is not true that the children of poets are invariably poets, %0 it has been shown that the children of thieves are not always thieves. The children of musicians are not always musicians, and the children of mur- derers are not invariably murderers. Environment is the real explanation of apparent heredity. “It is time for Catholics to watch out for the passage of a similar law in other states. It is anti-Christian and ridiculous, but there are cranks at work seeking the enactments of such statutes, The Catholics of Tlli- nols last spring defeated an attempt are less watchful here in the east. Let us save ourselves deserved proach by looking out for such legis! tion in_time.” Even the sugggestion from the Cath- olic clergy of Cunnectizut during the session of the general assembly, that this law was disapproved would prob- | ably have been sufficient to kill it or at least cause more serious consider: tion by the assemblymen before ado ing it. The Sun is right when it & the Catholies of the east are le watchful. But there is a more pro- gressive spirit among some of ‘the vounger Catholic clergymen, and we expect to hear more of them discuss legislative matters before, not after, they become laws In the near future.— Waterbury Republican. e it W SENSELESS FOR DAYS. Two Boston Children Lie Unconscious, All Efforts of Doctors to Revive Them Failing. The cases of two little girls who have lain unconscious here for several days as the result of vaccination have stirred anti-vaccinationists of the city to a vigorous crusade against the sy ‘tem now In force for schdol children. The two children are Margaret Janes, the 14 year old daughter of R. V. Janes, of Malden, and Bertha Hud- son, the § year old child of Harvey Hudson, of Brighton. Following vac- cipation according to the regulations of the public schiools several days ago, both little girls have lain in a coma- tose condition and all efforts to Tevive them are proving futile. They are be- ing fed artificially. Neither appears yond the solution of the physicians. Examination and analysis of the vac- | cine used is to be made to discover the underlying, cause of their condition.— Poston Globe. HOW CO-OPERATION WORKS. Large Dividends for the Co-Workers. The great department store has just distributed several thousands of dollars in cash dividend checks to the co- worker employes for the six months ending Aug. 1. A year ago eight per cent. dividends were given, six months ago ten per cent. dividends were dis- tributed, and now twelve per cent. is given. In his remarks upon the dis- tribution of these checks, the treas- urer, H. A. Free, said in part: Mr. Chairman and Fellow Co-Workers: Having recently taken semi-annual inventory, it is therefore an. oppor- tune time to speak of this important matter and in a broad sense to know and to appreciate our standing.
