A @ozen lives smacrificed to some- one's ignorance and folly is the record made In Westeriy, R. L, where a home- o de whiskey, blended with wood al- colel, bas been sold by a drugeist.

MUNICIPAL JEALOUSY. The municipality that is not jeal- sus of its appearance and good name s the exception, not the rule, and when the census is closed and the re- sult is announced many a city will claim that it has been under-counted —that the official fgures are imcor- reet. Ko city ever enters a com- laint that its figures are too large, ut in the past some have been sus- pected of having been padded up to jatisfy political ambitions, and sev- sral were found to have bDeen made pver populous on paper by unscrupu- jous enumerators under the direction »f wily politiclans. It was to avold 3 repetftion of this kind of work that President Taft promptly registered bimself against the political enumer- ator end gave notice that the admin- istration and the census bureau stand Jor an honest count. ‘What the enumerators of Norwich going to find out is mot clear. ere is not & good prospect of any- ing more than the regular increase since there have been no striking thenges in our industries or the de- mand for workmen. It is an unde- nisble fact that our population is g and that those who come and thoss who go nearly balance one another. The fact that the Increase over the last census does not promise to be large is the reason why the enumerators end the people should bear in mind that eareful inquiries and accurate statements should be made that no resident shall be missed from the list. Norwich may show a slight decrease in population; but, whatever the cen- sus shows, let's have the number cor- rect and the -statements concerning our property accurate. Honesty is a good asset at all times. FARM ‘AUTOMOBILES. There are mot a great many auto- mobiles owned by the farmers of New England, but the more thrifty among the tillers of the soll are looking wist- fully in that direction. In the west, the farmers are running automobiles and getting more pleasure out of life #han they ever knew before. The Travel Magazine says out of 10.000 automocbiles in Iowa, 5,000 are owned by farmers. XKansas farmers spent $3,200,000 for automobiles dur- ing 1909 and $2,750,000 in 1908, In one Nebraska town of 800 populatfon, 40 automobiles were sold last year to farmers near the town and retired farmers in the town. Careful esti- mgtes of the number of automobiles owned by farmers in the entire Unit- <@ States Is 76,000. Eixteen automobile makers are ad- veriising automobiles to the farmers n the 450 farm papers of the coun- 1 and most of them are arguing ‘Hat the automobile will keep the boy o the farm, and make life more liy- able for the wife, whose dreary round of labor has been the pity of the oountry. Tihe farmers of the country count ap 4 truly say, We are the people—we are the bone and sinew of the country— we are the contributors to its prog- ress and wealth; and we are the hold- of a substantiel portion of its The farmers have he¢n 1n- . = their bank accounts in the great agricultural =states for years, bave been buying ponies for the chil- é pianes for the parlor, phono- mraphs and auvtomobiles for the fam- files. The farmer is repidly coming %o his own. ! The college professor who has de- cided that a child at one year of age §s" worth $50, did not realize that it takes about twice thet amount to buy & Sest_clase French poodls, ‘estimated at a 22-mile gait when he is in _prices sweating over the conditions which appear to negative prosperity. The Brooklyn . Eagle takes the February statement of the Atchison & Santa Fe e for Instance, and makes a valid point by that example. The Feb- ruary report showed “a handsome 'gain in gross earnings, which is to say the company’s receipts were larger by $600,000 than its revenue for February, 1909, Additions to the cost of opera- tion, however, so far exceeded this increase, that the gain was more than wiped out. A showing almost equally unfavorable is made by the report of the Southern railway, its receipts for Tebruary being $355000 more than those of the corresponding month of last year, with an increase of only $17,000." Ice was plenty last year, and some expect the price of ice to go down to the old prices, but the ice barons pro- duce figures to show that the in- crease in the price of labor, utensils and grath has more than doubled with- in a few years—that the advance is 119 per cent., hence the good old prices would mean bankruptcy to them. The speculators have us all and the only way out of the present diffi- culty seems to be to check extortion wherever it can be discovered. ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC CITY. Following the example of Hartford, New Britain, another normally repub- lican city, elects a democratic mavor. As in the case of Hartford, issues purely local seem to supply the rea- son for this action, the victory of the rest of the republican ticket Indicat- ing that personality also played a part in the result. However, there will be many to see strong political signifi- cance in this double democratic vic- tory. It is likely to stimulate ambi- tion in many democratic breasts and it is bound to supply further encour- agement to the democratic party in the state which may yet secure a can- didate of sufficient stature, a war fund of sufficient size and an organization of sufficient cohesion to play a real part in the next state campaign.—Wa- terbury American. The enemy has his ear to the ground and think: vibrations are right for democratic success. It is not so ‘bad, after all, since straws of this kind arouse the dominant party to have a care about its conduct and its candi- dates. The people appear to be in a mood te choose what they consider the best candidates for office, and the character of the men as wel as the size of the barrel must be paid strict attention te. There is no disgulsing the fact that the republican party everywhere is In a state of unrest and it is very likely to rebuke its leaders this year,upon less provocation than usual. A square deal is what the people are looking for and propose to, have. EDITORIAL NOTES.

Happy thought for today: The men whose success bankrupts others are never commended as business models. It 1s well enough for the everyday laborer to notice that John D. Rocke- feller only counts one on the census list. The San Francisco Chronicle has found 32 reasons for the high cost of living, and that may not be more than half of them. Attention is called to the fact that while Chantecler may have been cast for a woman, it really takes a man to strut like a rooster. Jack Johnson is so fast that he is making only 11 miles. This fame will do for a man. is what Rather than to rise at 4 a. m. to see the comet, most of uf are willing to take the other fellow’s word that it 1s visible in the east.

The Nati Coal Supply. Doctors and experts are famed for disagreement of opinions, and this applies to the differing estimates by experts as to this pation’s coal sup- ply..

That going some—New Haven Journal Gourler, Great-Aunt Eunice's of the dearest places the world. There u:! noihing ot about it, not even the tiniest blade of grass—every- thing is so delightfully old-fashioned. The flowers and shrubs are like pretty, dembure lasses and always make my up-to-date frocks look out of place. That is why, when I want to spend an hour among the hollyhocks and prim- roses, I always go first to that other dearest place, great-aunt's old room, and don one of the pretty old-time froeks from the cedar chest. Then I feel quite at home among the dainty flowers, as though I had inherited not hel;lnane alone, but her personality as well. There is a fragrance from these posies such as no modern flower, how- ever fair, can boast. The nette and sweet lemon verbena scent of the air, while the tiny ladies’ delight and the marigolds turn thelr faces up in such friendly fashion. Though the garden is crowded with these and many others, there are two which never grew in this enchanted Epot until after the tragedy of Aunt Eunice’s life. Then she pianted the love-lies-bleeding ana the mourning bride. Great-Aunt Eunice left to the care of others and carried her sor- row to an early grave. It seems a cruel thing whed the Hendersons and Withrows had lived for generations side by side like one loving family, their first disagreement should have come just in time to wreck the happiness of two young lives. Such an undignified quarrel for such a paltry cause—a few rods of ground. Everybody says there must have been a deeper cause behind so filmsy an excuse, but no one seems able to make it. The “debatable ground,” oddly enough, was the garden, the favorite trysting place of the lovers, sweet Rose Henderson, as Great-Aunt Rose Eunice was once called, and manly David ‘Withrow. At first they laughed at the trouble, but when old Daniel Withrow sternly ordered his son to break his engagement to the “Henderson’s girl"” and great-grandfather told his only daughter—with head averted that he might not see the pain in the eves he loved—that she might consider the be- trothal at an end, then and only then @id they realize that the quarrel went too deep for laughter, Aunt Eunice made her only protest. “Father, vou have no right " and, unable to say more, fled to her room. There was one more meeting among the roses, where they vowed eternal fidelity and undying love, but it was thelr last, for within the week David Withrow sailed for England on busi- ness for his father. ) For a year he stayed, then came word that he was setting out for hom but hard upon this news came other, “the Dorothea lost at sea and all on| board went down.” | !m | | den to spend an hour old-fashioned flowers. I ‘great-aunt’s rose-s, and on impulse had pulled loose a thick, brown curl that now lay on my should- er. I stepped slowly, bending often to wearing som, and at last stopped to among the laces at my throat a few shy rosebuds, when a _slight sound caught my ear. I turned quickly and faced a figure which 1 recognized at once. I had seen too often the por- trait of David Withrow in Great-Aunt Eunice’s room not to know that this was he—a spirit from the past. For a moment I gazed silently at this spirit of gallant bearing and ancient dress; then at the same instant, boldnes: seized him and panic caught me. For, as he strode forward with outstretched hands, 1 stepped back into the shrub- bery and fled. & ‘When, that night at dinner, daddy quietly remarked that “Old David Withrow’s grand-nephew and name- seke is back after all these years of schooling,” sudden warmth flooded m: face and neck. . For a week I dreamed in spite of severe self-scoldings, such dreams as I had ridiculed other girls for enter- taining. Then I deliberately passed by the gorgeous costume which had been prepared for me to wear to the Hunt- ers’ masked ball. In its place I donned the little rose-sprigged gown with its modest laces, pulled out a curl to fall on my shoulder, and tucked tiny rose- buds in those laces and in my hair. Only one form I saw that night, the form of David Withrow in his ancient dress and powdered hair. And Iknow now there was only one whom he saw. For me—for us—there was one most memorable moment of that never-to- be-forgotten night; the moment when he took my hand and drew me into the rose room. There in the midst of their beauty and fi undid my tiny mask and cast it aside as he had already discarded his own. For an instant he stood and gazed into my eyes with reverent love in his. Then—ah, then—Rose Eunice was in her lover’s arms, and his lips were on mine in a first long kiss.—Boston | Post. Racial Admixture. The American of Anglo-Saxon blood has been always opposed to racial ad- mixture of any d. It is useless to ask why and to hark back to the time when ail the human_world was kin. It happens to be so. But now and then our prejudices and pereconceptions re- celve a jar in respect to Indian mar- riages—such as Mr. Bailey Millard gives them in his current account of the “Squaw Man.” Mr. Millard began his study with the common and normal attitude against cross-marriage of races. He recognized that the opprobrium which attends the mingling of races is perhaps an instinct of race preservation. He went west and int iewed Col. Charles P. Jor- dan on the Rosebud reservation. Jordan, a cousin of Gen. Custer, soldier to whom “Crazy Horse, real leader in the Custer massacre, surrendered his rifle; and Col. Jordan has been married for thirty happy vears to Weah-Wash-Tay, daughter of Here, in a paragraph, is what the colonel has to say of “squaw men:” “There’s a good many white men on reservation and on others who | have Indian ladies for wives, but I'd advise you not to call 'em ‘squaw men’ when you run up against ‘em. Some of the biggest and best men who ever came into the west have married In- dian women. Sam Houston and Kit Carson were what yow'd probably call ‘squaw men, and so were Gen. Sib- ley, Gen, Sully and Gen. Patterson, of the regular army, as well as Commo- dore Kitson, ~Marquis Fontanelle, Pierre Chouteau and scores of other big men. Col. James McLaughlin, the senior United States Indian inspector, is married to a woman of Sioux blood; and Granville Stewart, formerly speak- er of the Montana ' legislature, and Mark Forbes, who held the same posi- tion in Minnesota, both have Indian families; and, for that matter,” he flung out definantly, “so have L” It goes without saying that these are but rare and happy instances, preceded by the historic nuptials of Pochahon- tas, whose descendants to this day are proud of their origin. On the other hand, there are the genuine “squaw” men, who marry or ally themselevs with the red woman merel for the sake of the quarter section of land that she and each one of her children will bring. In such an alliance the sqaw is greatly superior to_the white man she marries.—Philadelphia Press. Uniqueness of Andrew Carnegie. Some of the public utterances of An- drew Carnegie call to mind the intro- duction of one of Mark Twain's stories, in_effect as follows: “A pirate who had sailed the Span- ish Main for many years and amassed an fmmense fortune, decided to repent and reform.” Mr, Carnegle seems to overlook no opportunity to deplore the possession of great wealth by individuals, and his generally expressed conception of the millenium is a period when individual opulence will be unknown, when cap- ital ana labor will share more equit- ably the fruits of co-operative work and when it will be recognized that no man is good enough to govern another. He #s ordinarily fortunate in treating the puplic to pleasing platitudes, but he so frequently follows up his satis- factory pronouncements with ill-timed illustrations. that faith in his juds- ment is jarred. His talk to the Chicago Press club ! on “Daddyism” and his assertion that sons of their fathers must stand on their own merits, seemed to ring true until he followed it with inapt illus- trations; and when he closed with a | tribute to Cannon it must have left a | bad taste in the mouth. Mr, Carnegle | too frequently leaves the public in | doubt of his precise -meaning.—St. | Paul Dispatch. ! New Britain’s New Mayor. Our congratulations to “Joe” Hal- | loran of New Britain, who was elected mayor of New Britain vesterday, over- coming 2 republican majority of ten or fifteen hundred and going in with a majority of nearly seven hundred. Mayor-elect Halloran is a New Britain boy, born and brought up there, and has’always been popular and progres— sive. He is o fraternal man, having held all the ofiices in the Young Men's T. A. B. society, and he is at present exalted ruler of the Elks. He is a personal friend of Mayor Landers, and has been an alderman during his ad- mindstration. As mayor of the hustling city of New Eritain there is no doubt but what Mr. Halloran will make g0od, and we look for as prosperous a two years for that oty during his administration ae any it has had in a long time.—Waterbury Demeocrat.

The house commfttee on agriculture reports favorably op the bill creating the White Monuntain and Appalachian forest reservc=. The action follows many years of aitation in New Eng- land and the Atlantic states and will meet with general approval in all parts of the country. The measure sets aside $9,000.000 that may be spent within the next five years in the ac- quirement of watersheds on the navi- gable rivers of the two sections. It is not so comprehensive as the advo- cates of the project had hoped for; but, if the bill succeeds in passing Dboth branches of congress, it will be a victory for the new thought. In spite of what such men as Chief Moore of the weather bureau say to the contrary, the wefght of opinion still is that forests bave a Jarge influ- ence in determining steadiness of flow in streams. Treeless headwaters mean quick and disastrous run-offs, such as caused the recent disaster in Paris. Ana it is not only the streams of the White and _Appalachian Mountains that will be protected by the house bill These mountain districts contain a rapidly diminishing supply of valuable timber which needs the proteeting hand of the government to be saved from extermination. These timber re- sources are but a fraction of what they were when this conservation project was first urged before congress: but they are still worth saving.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. A House-Hunting Ambassador. Dr. David Jayne Hill of this city, United States ambassador to Germany, is just now devoting his spare hours to ‘the strenuous and not altogether pleasant business of house-hunting. He has been notified that the house he has occupied has been sold, and must be vacated on or before October 1 next, when the term of the lease will expire. It is by no means probable that houses in Berlin are scarce, but it is apparent that residences suitable for the occupancy of a United States am- bassador are by no means plentiful. ‘Whatever might be the personal pref- erence of an American resident at the German capital for a modest house, homes suitable for an ambassadorial residence are not usually seeking tran- sient tenants. For this reason Am- basador Hill finds himself in a ‘po- sition in_which no high official of the TUnited States should be placed. Under such circumstances it Is dif- ficult to see how an ambassadorial representative can maintain the digni- ty of his position. Upon the mainte- nance of official dignity great inter- national issues may turn, and in known instances have turned. It is regrettable that congress, while pouring out the nation’s treasure with Javish hand in many other directions, should force its diplomatic residents at prominent foreign capitals to de- vote their energies to flat-hunting.— Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. The New Woman. ‘Woman, for the first time, has taken to experimenting. Heretofore man has Dbeen the experimenter, the adventurer, the dreamer. Woman has been a pa- tlent plodder, doing the useful things directly and intimately connected with the maintenance of life. Man has set things going, and woman has kept them going. Man’s mind has been busy with the directing and forming of life, woman's with the act of living itself. Man has stood for variation and woman for the perservation of racial identity. Man has been pro= gressive, liberal, insurgent; woman has been conservative. But now the world has changed, life is different. Homes have given place to flats and hotel suites and co-opera- tive kitchens. Social and economic conditions have freed much of wom- an enerby tha tmust find vent In new activities. Woman is still the maker of the home, and must be, as long as there are homes. But she wants to find herself other forms of activity. So she trieg everything that once was foreign to her being: she seeks all possible ways of fulfilling her larger nature. And she will find her place in the new scheme of things when all this unsettling is over and the rea-ad- justment has come—Cleveland Plain Dealer. In for a Record Smash.
