The farmers of the Third congres- sional district should eppreciate the effort being made by "Congressman Higgins to have them reap a direct and permanent advantage from the sclent!fic bureau of the agricultural department at Washington. A des- patch from Washington says that Congressman Higgins has taken up with the agricultural department the matter of having the soll of Windham and New London countles surveyed, This work {s under the direct super- vislon of Prof. Milton Whitney, soll physicist and chief of the bureau of soils, which is a subdivision of the agricultural department. The purpose of the survey is to determine what can be grown on the different soils to the best advantage, what fertilizers or plant foods are necessary to get the best results from the varlety of soils in the section surveyed, and the spils are so analyzed as to furnish a cor- rect gulde to the farmer or cultivator. The section surveved is plotted. A map is made showing water courses and elevations, wooded areas and highways and the qualities of al} soils. Congressman Higgins has applied to the department for this survey. There Aare many requests from different sec- tions of the country, but when se- cured it will prove of great advantage to. the farmer, result in the using of lands that are now unproductive, in- crease the value of all agricultural lands in the district and be a trust- worthy and detailed directory of farm- ing possibilitied. Few men know what the character of the soil is and what may be culti- wvated thereon with the greatest suc- cess. This scientific charting of these two countles will be of permanent velue to those who work the land. The 1dea that the New England farm has deterjorated to a point beyond re- demption is already discredited, and this careful examination of the land and its quality will give new impetus to farming in this part of Connecticut.

New England states paid taxes on the following amounts in 1909: Barrels. Decrease, 1,211,588— 28,317 ,042,933—158,868 274,733— 26,339 Connecticut Masgachusetts New Hampshiz 3,529,254—213,524 While the other three New England states are consumers, they were book- ed for no taxes, which Indicates no production, The decrcase, in manufacturing states having little or no dry territory varies from .01 per cent. (in Illinois) to 6.86 per cent. (in Pennsylvania). The decrease in local-option states wvarfes from 2.29 per cent. (in Connecti- cut) to 7.79 per cent, (in Ohio). The table indicates that more than half the decrease was caused by industrial conditions, and that the loss from both state and local prohibition was probably not over a million barrels. We all hope that congress will have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Yegr. After that it must devote itself to the people, or the people will in- AQuire why mot. An American mayor is the people’s chaice tied in & chair. 1f he was free HE H and powerful to correct things not so many mayors would go out of office with regrets. Congressman Higgins is showing the old Third district that he remembers it at Christmas time. May he be given a Christmas greeting every day in the year. The small boy keeps telling what he. expects in his stocking, around home, just as if he thought that the ears that hear “were not so far away after all, 3 Zelaya knows when it is time to like o4 : vote for. He must then fold lot @s directed, from which the num. bered stub shall he removed by the election officer before it is placed in the ballot box. “Any ballot.marked in any other manner than as provided will render such ballot void.” Mistakes in counting votes, and in- correct election returns are as com- mon with the new form of ballot as with the single party ballot; and the loss of votes on ballots that are thown out as wrongly marked by the voter will be much greater than in the pas as much more cafe and knowledge a: required on the part of the voter. One result of this will be more time taken in counting, just as much lia- bility of making mistakes as before, and a longer time in getting at the results of an election. The cities in the state which vote by machine are to be envied because of the greater accuracy and facility in making reports, This change promises to hasten the day of machine voting in all Connecti~ cut cities. THE LIQUOR ISSUE. There was an intense interest in the recent vote in Massachusetts cities upon the license question in this part of Connecticut by the license men, and no little satisfaction felt at the re- sult, which did not satisfy papers like that the Boston Transcript that the prohibition wave was receding. The Transcript, reviewing the result, said: “It is ah open question whether this whole license issue is .not rapidly changing from. mora]l or political to economie, One of the features of these campaigns has been the interest of the manufacturers. In Newbury- port a manufacturer led the no-license forces; in Lynn the manufacturers are credited by some with having set the whole machinery of restriction in motion; in Worcester the feature of the fight has been, to outside ears, the solid phalanx for no-license pre- sented by manufacturers and large traders. The increased lability of employers has made them more eco- nomical of employes, When a fac- tory manager can satisfy himself that the concern loses money on the oper- ative who comes back from his noon hour fuddled with two or three drinks and smashes valuable apparatus, as a practical man, he attacks the cause. The general demoralization of the Monday morning plant has also had its lesson in economics. Merely as a selfish proposition, manufacturers have begun to believe that they can no more afford the saloon than their help can. The story of the past two years in Worcester would have much to say of the conversion of manufac- turers, They firmly believed at the start that no-license would be harm- ful to the city. They are in large part now as firmly convinced of the oppo- site, and no mean proportion of the no-license strength was drawn from this element of the city.” This shows plainly enough why the liquor Interest itself should see the wisdom of keeping the saloons a re: sonable distance from manufacories if jt desires to hold its own in the fight. WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT iT? It requires a genius-to interpret the intelligent purpose of dogs and it has taken twenty years for some- one to tell why dogs chasg automo- biles and give therefor a good reason, Finally a police officer has f8und.that these pursuing dogs are out on a lark which ends in a %runk. Peruse the following, taken from a Boston paper: ‘“Why dogs chase autos is a topic which has heretofore given exercise to many analytical minds. It has been held by one group of thinke that the dogs did it for fun, by an other that the custom was an ex- pression of canipe conservatism, and by a third that the animals were in- spired by hatred of fumes of gasoline, Now comes Police Captain Ford of Pittsburg, Pa., who has been investi- gating a hydrophobia scare in that city, and declares that all three of the groups are wrong, and that dogs regard the gasoline fume as a cheap and agreeable Intoxicant. Captain Ford solemnly asserts that he has dis- covered dogs which became drunk on the fumes. Moreover he declares that chauffeurs are similarly affected, and that some of their number do not stop at inhalatjon but imbibe gasoline. There are many queer revelations i Pittsburg despatches, a city which has excited much interest among sociolo- gists, but this report on the gasoline habit of dogs leaves the analysis of multi-millionajre psychology way be- hind in public attention.” EDITORIAL NOTES.

King Leopold’s Fortune. The passing of Leopold II, king of the Belgians, is not likely to be fol- lowed by any extraordinary political consequences.
