Much -legislation has been attempt- ‘ed for the overcoming of the illicit trade in drugs without the attalnment of the desired result, the hold which such a habit has and the large profits which are to be made from the hand- ling of such stuff serving to overcome the vigilance, of the upholders of the law.

ADULT ILLITERACY. ‘A movement is underway for a cam- paign against adult illiteracy in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. “There is no question but what the fleld for operation is one where much time and effort can be used to great ad- vantage and certainly every possible decrease in flliteracy reacts to the ben- efit of the individual and the state, but it is nevertheless a worthy and feasible proposition. There are near- Iy 575,000 in the three states among the adults who can neither read nor write in any language. It is a large number, but France two years ago tackied the problem of illiteracy and succeeded in one year in making a million and a half able to read and write and there are other instances where excellent resuits have been at- tained when the proper attention was given the matter. It must be agreed that such a mass is a menace to representative govern- ment, democratic institutions, indus- trial prosperity and the good of the state and Connmecticut's situation, showing an increase of seven-tenths of one per cent. in illiteracy in twenty years, the only state to show an act- ual increase in percentage though it has only 53,600 illiterates, is one that ought not to be entirely overiooked. While steps have been taken to pre- vent illiteracy among children, and ad- vantages offered throush night schools for the aduits, there is nevertheless a class which is not reached and death is not diminishing them. What- ever can be done to cut down this number means the advancement of industry angd citizenship. ELIHU ROOT, While New York is the most deeply concerned, it is not thé only state which recognizes the valuable services which Senator Elihu Roet has ren- dered to his country, and is rendering, and it is but natural that there is a general understanding of just what his decision, not to be a candidate for the office again, means. However much it is felt that New York and the coun- try canmot afford to lose his services, his declaration appears to be final. Referring to the fact that the de- ‘mand for his retention is not a parti- #an matter the New York Timee well says: Not even his enemies dispute intellect, the force of charagter or the deep experience which makes a ‘word from him in the senate outweigh & four day speech by another. The fine patriotism and high public spirit with which he has applied these tal- ents is questioned by nobedy whose words are worth attention. His ger- vice in the national field began in 1899 and has lasted with. but a short inter- ruption ever since, and in all these years not a single blemish' has been found on his public record, not a sin- gle indication of any consideration welghing with him but the interest of his country and his state.” Senator Root is the type of senator LESSON IN PREVENTION. n of the Salem conflagra- which many New England can take to heart with benefi- serves as a great ob- iy, | il | 4 the breadth of mind, the keenness of’ stipulated methods, ‘When it is required that many ad- ditlonal details must be complied with even by physicians in giving prescrip- tions, and that the name, age and res- idence of the patient must be provided with the prescription, which cannot be refilled, there may seem to be some bother in store for the doctors, but such is only a precaution which ex- perience justifies. If drug laws are to be enforced the loop holes must be blocked and the prosecutions in the metropolis show that there are mem- bers of the profession who are not above getting rich off of such degrad- ing practice. The new law also re- quires separate imprisonment for drug victims and that they be given proper treatment. New York has unearthed sufficient evidence of the curse of dan- gerous drugs and it is justified in whatever legislation 1s necessary to deal with it BANKS IN SOUTH AMERICA, With the announcement by the Na- tional City bank that advantage is to be taken of the new banking law, and that branches are to be established in Rio Janeiro and Buenos Ayres, it will be understood that a long felt need is being met for the development of a bigger and stronger business of all kinds in that part of the world. It has often been felt that American capital was handicapped by the lack of American banking institutions and in such countries it has been no secret that this country is far behind many others in this respect, it having been impossible under the old banking laws for the national banks to engage in such business, The selection of South American countries for this trial is significant of the growing opportunities which exist in that direction. They are fast de- veloping and while there have been growing trade relations therewith, there is good reason to believe that with the opening of the canal and the other stimulation which there has been for the huilding up of better commer- ecial relati not only greater trade is due, but is bound to result. It is our natural market and in connection therewith it is well that American bank- ing Institutions should be associated. There is good reason why American business should make the most of the markets of the, world and such bank- ing facilities cannot fail to be an ap- preciated aid therein. EDITORIAL NOTES: The mediation conference appears | to be having as hard a time adjourn- |ing as congress is. The hero these days is the fellow who fits in as a general utility man at the picnic grounds. Whatevep the expectations may be Huerta is going to make sure the ship is going down before he deserts. When the secretary of state runs into an elevator to escape a suffragette he doesn’t even give mediation a chance. While some seem to think that the international aspect of the Mexican trouble has been settled, the salute is still awaited, The man on the corner says: It may be true that money talks. but it isn'c the only thing which keeps people awake half the night. About the only thing the Colonel hasn’t reason to lay claim to in con- nection with the present administra- tion is the bumper wheat crop. If the democtatic administration could only in some way get the cred- it for that rainstorm, it would have a strangle hold upon the farmers’ vote. Those who are disposed to be care- less in their celebration of the Fourth should read a chapter of that Salem conflagration between each outburst of patriotism. Congress should never be afraid that it will have nothing to point to, should adjournment be taken at this time, when the results of the tariff action are standing out so conspicuously.

A tablespoonful.” “A'mght. = Father says he'll have your breakfast in a minute.” For an hour Mrs. Spicer listened to him fussing over it. The pantry door banged times without number. With clinched hands she listened to the smashing of more than one piece of china. When he eventually appeared she had been sniffing something burn- ing for ten minutes. €hno merely glanced at the muddy coffee, sorched toast and bacon swim- ming in grease. “I'm not hungry,” sald she. “There! there's some one banging on the back door. Run down quickly; it's that Johnson youngster, and he'll be into everything. And there’s the telephone bell! That's Gibbs.” Spicer departed with the unappetiz- ing food. In a moment he was back. “I—I wouldn’t bother you, but Gibbs has & new butcher. Gibbs himself is not in the store. The new clown does- n’t know beans! How many ribs do you usually get in a roast?” “Two, when we're alone. There goes the front door bell, and some- body’s hammering at the back door again. What are’ those voungsters doing ‘With a muttered, “How in thunder can a fellow do business at both doors at once?” Spicer bounced out of the room, calling back “Cut out your wor- rying! I've sent the voungsters to Johnsons'!" But Mrs. Spicer heard them playing in “the front room. She was on the point of dressing when Spicer again loomed up. ‘TI've settled Gibbs,” said he: there’s a man at the back door who tells me you ordered eggs from him, and a woman at the front who wants to see you about castoff clothing for the Ladies” Aid.” “Are you thinking of bringing her up here? ironically asked Mrs. Spicer. “For pity’s sake, couldn't you hav teid her I'd see her Monday? And— take the eggs and pay for them! It doesn’t require much brain power to solve that problem, does it?” With a groan she burrowed her head in a pil- low. Spicer reflected as he stalked out that a slight illness plays the deuce with a woman’s temper. There was a lull for a few blissful moments. Evidently the children had been packed off. Mrs. Spicer settled herself for a rest. Of a sudden she heard Mrs. Johnson's voice in the LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Known to Be Non-Extant a Time, Mr. Editor: In connection with an article in this morning’s paper it may be of interest to note that Miss Caul- kins in her History of Norwich, p. 57, stated, “The original deed of Norwich is not extant” The dates of two of the three recorded copies—Hartford, Norwich, New London—and their va- riations in wording follow on the same page.

On Sept. 6, 1901, as President Mc- Kinley was holding a reception in the Temple of Music at the Buffalo expo- sition, he was shot twice by Leon Czolgosz as he was shaking hands with the president. The assassination had evidently been planned with care. Over his right hand the assassin wore a white handkerchief, as if the hand was bandaged. Beneath this hand- kerchief he had concealed a short bar- reled pistol. A little girl was immediately ahead of Czologaz in the line, and the pres- ident, after patting her kindly on head, turned, with a emile of wel o and extends h president’s right hand with his left, lurched forward against the president, and, thrusting his right hand close against his breast, he pulled the trig- ger twice. Czologsz was an avowed disciple of anarchy, and at the time claimed that he alone was responsible for the crime, having no assistants. He sted in this statement to the end, and the trial developed no other names con- nected with the assassination. The assassin was a Pole and lived in Cleveland up to a very short time before going to Buffalo. At one time he kept a saloon in Cleveland and later worked in an iron mill. He had been born in Alpena, Mich., and wu’ a little over 20 years of age. His father was born in Posen county, Brumburg, coming to America thirty | years before the son's crime. He was considered a poor but peaceful citizen as were the other children of the fam- ily. As soon as the assassin had ac- complished the deed he was seized by S. R. Ireland of the United States se- cret service, taken into a side room for fear ~of the angry crowd wreaking vengeance upon him, and was then hurried off to station house No. 1 and was thrown into an underground cell. On the following Monday he made a written statement, in which he re- iterated his first story that he was alone in the crime. President McKinley died on Satur- day morning, Sept. 14, and his burial took place on Sept. 20, at his home in Canton, O. Czolgosz, the murderer, was arraigned before Judge Edward K. Emery in the County court on Sept. 17 on an indictment for murder in the first degree. Czolgosz was placed on trial on Monday morning, Sept. 23, before Jus: tice Truman C. White, one of the old- est and most experienced ~ Supreme court judges. It only took a short time to secure a jury. The first day was given over to witnesses of the shooting and _expert testimony from physiciane and surgeons. The trial was continued throughout the following day up to 3:51 in the afternoon and a verdict of gullty of murder in the first degree was re- turned in just thirty-five minutes. The entire trial of the assassin consumed only eight hours and twenty-six min- utes. During the entire trial Czolgosz sat in a chair with his hands clasped on the arms and with his head bent for- ward and a little to the left. He seem- o4 to pay no attention to what was zding on around him. Bvery now and then he would take a handkerchief from his pocket and mop his brow, al- though the day was not warm, show- ing the mental excitement under which he was laboring. At no time during the absence of the jury did he raise his eyes or lift his head. After the verdict had been brought in the prisomer was returned to his cell and the judge called him into the court again on the 26th to receive his sentence, which was electrocution at Auburn state prisen during the week beginning Oet. 28. Czolgosz was electrocuted at T:45 o'clock on the morning of Oct. 29, 1,700 volts being passed through his body. ept so seundly the whole night I ! :" flg By 1 !lfl!fl :!I: fu T it f it it 331 fis Hi Hi H : i 8- ¢ g i H : : Dr. J.
