STONY BROOK RESERVOIR. There are reasons for thanksgiving that the Stony Brook reservoir mat- ter has at last been settled without going to greater expense. Could it have beea accomplished at the start and prevented all the subsequent Jit- igation it would have been much bet- ter for all concerned, a fact which is so often proved in matters of law. The settlement comes at a time which is ripe for realizing the benefit of the reservoir. The need of ponding the water there when it can be got- ten and from now on during the win- ter and early spring its value as a storage reservoir is going to be dem- onstrated. For many years efforts have been made to¥go to Stony Brook. Polit- fcal and legal efforts were made to check it and resulted in long delays, a water famine and greater expense, but all obstacles now seem to be overcome. This will mean that Nor- wich has finally done what so many other cities of Connecticut realize they must do, that is, constructed an- other auxiliary reservoir wherein the full benefit of the rainfall can be held. With the expected results, and there is no reason for believing otherwise, Norwich will have a water supply whieih will be unfailing for a long term of years. Though encumbered with much expense through litigation it is gratifying that the entire ex- pense of the project will come within the appropriation of $320,000, THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. Filled with important facts of ac- complishment the president’s message to congress points out the value of the policy that has been adopted con- cerning foreign reiations and therein alone is sounded most conclusive ar- guments for its continuance. The re- establishment of the state depastment, the substitution of diplomacy for bul- lets for reaching a better understand- ing with other tountries and in bring- ing the republics to the south to a realization of the real attitude of this country thereto, has had great effect in promoting the best relations and the stimulation in the foreign trade which is so important to the bus- imess and manufacturing interests, and upen which the future of the country so deeply depends. .The im- portance of presenting a united front in foreign affairs receives due empha- sis and he advocates, with no surprise that the non-partisan merit system be upheld in the diplomatic and con- sular service, In touching upém the settlement of varfous important questions with for- eign countries gnd the fact &at this Is well favored among the eommer- clal nations of the world the need of extending legislation¢to meet the var- fous degrees of disefmination against American commefce and interests is urged and it is believed to be possible through a graduated scale of duties, which would allow for better negotia- tions through the diplomatic .corps. It is apparent that the foreign rela- tlons and trade of the country must not' be neglected. It is_a vital part of thegreat business pldn of the gov- ernment and being placed on a high plane it should be maintained and kept growing. And it is an impartant word of timely advice which the pres- ident drops relative to the Panama canal opening and opportunities when he says: “The opening of the Panama canal will mark a new era in 6ur in- ternational life and create new and world wide condjtions, which with their vast correfations and conse- quences will obtain for hundreds of years to come. We must not walt for events to overtake us unawares.” Pach and every benefit which is to be obtained from the canal should be secured by this country and to be ob- tained it must be prepared for. WHAT ELECTIONS SHOW. Bome important lessons are to be gathered from the munmieipal elections held this. week in Maine and Massa- chusetts, in relation to the effective- ness of the new party. They show that it is the old parties to which the voters are turning for the conduct of city affairs, the progressive in- fluence being meagre and simply de- tracting from the strength of the par- ty which they left. t In Portland, Me., it was demon- strated that those who rallied to the support of Roosevelt are not consid- ering themselves outside the repub- lican party today. The Portland Ex- press-Advertiser says: “The. republican party in Maine is now and has heen, the progressive party in the state. There is posi- tively nothing of good in the pro- gram sought to be enforced by the progressives, which the republicans have not already secured for the peo- ple of the state. There is positively no issue by which, now, the republi- can party in Maine can logically ba divided, and, aside from the ambition of Mr. Roosevelt to be-the only man who could be elected president for a third term, there has never been a ground for divjsion in this state. The efforts of -disappointed politicians to create a schism in the republican par- ty that could only lead to permanent dominance of the real reactionaries in Maine, the democracy, is shown to be a failure” What is being deternfined in Maine s going to be proven true elsewhere 8 the voters themselves realize the eitugtion, Indications of the falling away are appareht in all directions and 4t is neot surprising that it is so. The logieal place for those voters all along has been the republican party snd they are getting back to the fold. Six hundred friends of Col. Isaac Ullman - éf New Haven gave him a banquet on his retirement from poli- tics. That 4s certainly an erdorse- ment which was deserved, but which § T v \ , Deaths by being run down by autos are 5o frequent that it'is well to stop, look and listen. It is quite evident ”b« & geing to do it for you, \ The treatment of criminals and the kind of punishment which they should recelve as a means of deterring them, ciety, came in for .a large share of attention the gathering of govern ors in Richmond. How best to handle criminals is a quesetion which gives rise to numerous opinions even among authorities. With some it is unques- tionably possible to bring about a re- formation through giving the accused a chance to reelaim himself. In an- other, such leniency would only be an invitation to go back to his old game, as so many of them o after serving their sentences. Governor Baldwin plainly set forth his views when he declared for the restoration of the whipping post for certain crim- inals’ such as wife beaters and ster- ilization for others, the latter as the proper punishmemnt foer the ecrime which so terrorizes the south. Governor Baldwin appears to have little use for the sentimentality which is overworked in behalf of criminals, the old time belief that “spare tha rod and spoil the child” still holds good and the hest results are to be obtained thereby. It is a subject to which he has given much thought and in the exercise of the plan he advo- cates -he would require the use of reason and common sense. He would give to those who are inclined to com- mit crime the understanding that something besides imprisonment awaits them and that justice demands serious punishment for serious * of- fenses. Certainly crime is increasing in a manner which needs some treat- ment which will eheek it. THE IMPEACHMENT CASE. Unusual interest s attached to the trial of Judge Archbald by the sen- ate sitting as a court of impeachment from the fact that jt is a trial which rarely occurs, and also because the accused is an 'agsociation justice of the commerce court. He is charged with high crimes and meisdemeanors by the house of representatives, the deeds having been committed during the time he was judge and con- cerned a deal with the Pennsylvania railroad. This is the second trial of the kind in forty years and at the other a verdict of acquittal was given when Judge Swayne of Florida was before the senate. There have been but few impeachment trials at-all in the history of the country, the total number being eight and in only twe were the accused found guilty. It is required that there shall be a two- thirds vote of the senate to conviet the accused, the charges being first heard by the house which refers them to the senate for the trial, ‘when found necessary. The house was praetically unani- mous in bringing the impeachment charges following the investigation. The case has served to injure the court of which the accused is a justice and its support has been denied after the new administration opems. It has therefore served to injure before the outcome is known, what was in no way concerned in the affair. EDITORIAL NOTES. The proper Christmas trade slogan is: “Do it now.” Everyone wiil rejoice that the res- ervoir question has at last been set- tled. Now let it rain. Dr. Mary Walker says she is going to ‘“show up” Miss Jame Addams. That's talking like a man. The armistice has. been - signed. Peace is the next move. Greeced or not it ought to go through. Happy thought for today: When canned goods are inactive it can be considered they are keeping well The fact tbat suffragettes are to mareh in the inaugural parade has awakened interest among the millin- ers and dressmakers. Whether it is as the Harvard pro- fessor bglieves that angleworms can think, it's certain they can wiggle out of a small hole. Such weather as this is likely to start up talk about spring practice. Though out of season, it is impos- sible to hold it baek. Carnegic’s pension system would be welcomed by the revelutionist leaders in Mexico or the ex-presidents of most any Latin-American republic. Five million women in Canton have been given the ballot without any dis- play of militantism. Evidently Eng- lish suffragettes have something to learn from the east. Portland, Me, has voted for a mu-| nicipal coal and wood vard. That is a question which mest any commu- nity would vote in the affirmative for. It would be a good solution of the] tramp question. Lucky thing President-elect Wilson | hadn’t planned to return heme thel day the crowd of newspaper memn got stranded on a reef while on 2 pri- vate sailing trip. He never could have made it alone. How the democrats look at civil service is shown by their attitude over the fact that the president has placed 50,000 postmasters on the civil ser- vice list thus taking away the spoils| which they seem to favor. ¥ With the British empire appealing | to its dependencies for additions to the navy this country might make up for the democratic policy of one bat- tleship only, by appealing to the Phil- ippines, Sandwich Islands and Alaska| for help.

Look out when you are asked “What you want for Christmas?” what answer you make. The difference between a little pig and a nice little boy is that the little pig wants everything in sight, and the nice little boy wants a few things he may need A thinking lad or lassie knows that all children do not get mice presents, and I fear a few, a very few, are total- ly neglected, and more would be if Good Heart didn’t think of them. Good Heart is a fairy Uncle Jed be- dieves in, and no mystic wand is neces- sary to bring him out. Good Heart always prompts children to be kind and respectful to their parents and to be thoughtful of and generous to oth- ers. - Uncle Jed thinks Good Heart suggested to Santa Claus the Christ- mas tree, which is an American fea- ture borrowed from Germany. The English children have Christ- mas boxes instead of Christmas trees, and the children of Belgium hang up their shoes for Santa Claus to fill in- stead of their stockings, and the Span- ish children do not expect Santa Claus to come down the chimney, but hide their shoes in the shrubbery outside and find them filled with goodies in the merning. It wag King Charles of England who made Christmas merry, and it was at a Christimas feast that he knighted a loin of beef, and from that day to this slices cut from that part have been called “Sir Loin Steak.” Good Heart is in Christmas in all countries, and this is why Christmas is a day of open hearts and open purses and open hands from the snow- lands of the midnight sun to the flow- ery lands of the equator. So give attention to Good Heart and see that you become acquainted with it and it with you, for that is the way to know that it is “more blessed to give than to receive.” NOTICE TO BOOK WINNERS.

Phere is now visiting at our harber a prisen ship which is a speeimen of the cruelty which once prevafled en On going through this boat one could easily see why the United States wanted her independ- ence from Great Britain. The ship lay fer a long time at the bottom of the harbor at Sydney, Aus- tralia, but was raised and sold to Capt. D. H. Smith. It is of a browa- ish color outside and at ene end are six very small windows, the very sight of which makes one shudder. The ship is unchanged to this day except that her human freight and their sufferings have been omitted. Aboard her are now shown in their origina] state all the airless dungeons, and €ondemned cells, the whipping’ posts, the menacles, the branding irons, the punishment balls, the leaden tipped cat o’ nine fails, the coffin bath and other inventions of man’s brugality to his fellowmen. The fee was 50 cents for grown peo- ple and half price for childrem, but now, +through a request of Mayor Fletcher, the fee is 26 cents for all. Today the convict ship is an exhi- bition to educate and net a reality planned to punish, and we can all thank God for that. HELEN M. WHITTAKER. Providence, R. L A Queer Clock. » Did you ever hear of a ecat clock? If you were to go to China and want- {ed to know the time of day the boy you asked might say: “Wait apd T'll tell you.” Away he runs to seme mlserable shanty and brings out .a sleepy look- ing cat and pushing up its eyelids as- sure you that it was not noon yet. You wonder how 2 cat's eves eould tell him, but ¥ is a fact that the eyes of g cat always become narrew before Monday, so narrow as to leek like a fine line up and down. After twelve o’clock the pupil will grow large again. Just look into your pussy’s eves and see if you can tell as the boys and girls do in China. Perhaps you can. KATHERINE GORMAN, age 7. Versailles.

When a dog comes near him he will run after him and chase him away. His coelor is gray. He likes to play with a string. At night he sleeps on some straw, I feed him every day. But sometimes I can’t find him. When he is not around he is in the woods bunting for a squirrel or semething else. 2 LILLA SHIPPEE, age 11. Plainfield. LETTERS TO UNCLE JED-. Daisy's Fate.

X Some say it is the butcher, the mil- ler, the grocer,: who gives us our Thanksgiving dinner, but I can say it is a mistake. The miller must go to the farmer for wheat, the butcher gets from him the turkeys we eat; the vege- tables grow on the farm that the gro- eer has. The farmer is the one who gives us our Thanksgiving dinner. TROY L MAIN, age 12. Norwich. A Little Helper.
