Down_in the city of New London Rfiere is to be a consolidation of a ive business men’s association and a dead board of trade through merging ithe .two organizations into one of fbroad scope which can carry on the ivaluable work more efficiently and | “without friction. Phere is in this action a sugges- ftion for similar organizations in this leity. Though the situation differs in [fms respect that both the board of itrade and the business men's associa- ition of this city are live civic organ- szations, it can e readily understood {nevertheless that far better and much ‘more satistactory service of the char- cter which such organizations expect %o render to a city can be furnished by one large, active civic body with all members working enthusiastically and unitedly for the attainment of its ‘ohjects, than by two smaller Dbodies mtriving for the same ends, yet caus- 3ng friction through the rivalry which maturally develops.

GROWTH AND NEGLECT. Though the figures are diffieult of comprehension, the ¢omparison which is made possible by the statoment 2rom the bureau.of foreign Comme Qiscloses the tremendous growth which this country has undergone in a half century. It means something when i is ehown that the natiopal population now totals 100,000,000, that the foreign commerce has grown to the large to- €2l of $4259,000,000 from $318,000,000 a half cent ago, that the wealth of the nation is now placed at $140,« 000,000,000, whereas in 1§70 it was but $7,000,000 and that the valie of farms #nd farm property has jumped tem_thmes. This means that the nation has been cognizant of its opportunities and de- voting its time and attention to their @evelopment. The figures show that it has advanced in many ways and directions. It has been constantly go- ing ahead and vet there are evidences every day, despite the record of a half century, which make it certain that the task has only just begun. The United States has not reached the point where it has no further develop- ment to undertake. It is discovering new chances every day for the fur- ther development of our resources, It has only recently been taught ths ne- cessity of greater independence through the making use of what now becomes waste and there is mo ques- tion but what there should be a far sreater showing in the matter of economies during the next half cen- tury than there has been during the past. We have grown and prospered In a prafseworthy manner, but there are still many things which have been neglected. Iigures relative to such would be startling, THE WAR'S CONTRIBUTION. Only a short timb ago the war was given as the reason for the placing of a $50,000,000 tax upon the country for the purpose of taking care of the national treasury. It is not possible to overlook the part which the war is playing in the business situation and |the optimism at the present time. Based upon reports gained through- out the country and sent out from ‘Washington it is estimated that war orders to the amount of $200,000,000 are now being filled by _the manufacturers of this country. Such are only the forerunners of what ar® to come and it is but proper that they should mean a revival of industrial activity. It is{ the natural outcome of the foreign situation. It is a state of affairs for which we are nst responsibie; but in, which we should be doing out utmost to handle the trade. The fact is that we are looked to to flll the gap caused by the dropping of business in Burope. And it means much to more then the manufacturers for with bumper crops the farming sections of the country are bound to share in the increased demands. Big orders upon such re- sources have been recelved and they will be followed by many more. That conditions are better is pleas- ing. Better conditians mean a more contented people and it will be a pe culiar situation indeed if full advan tage not taken of the change, even though it is realized that it is a boost which we are in no way responsible. That, however, should not deter us from getting the benefit. EDITORIAL NOTES. If Mexico is wise it will start .Car- raunza and la. oh a globe trotting. trip together.

The spirit shown by the 3000 students gathered in the hail was the most spontanecus of any meeting so far this year. An enthusi- estic_#mpromptu football parade was held last Monday night. It was led by the cheer leaders, the “Y” men of the senjor class, and a band. It s esti- mated htat there were 3,800 men in line.

One of the most deplorable tragedies of a pyrely personal character that has ever occurred in the United States, was enacted in the small city of Union- town, Pa., more than 30 years ago. It vas somewhat in the form of & fam- ily feud and eventually resulted in a double murder. On Dec, 24, 1882, just as the Christmas church bells were ringing on Sabbath morning, Rep. L. N. Dul a well-known member of the Fayette county bar, and a member- elect of the Pennsylvania Legislature, shot and killed Capt. C. Nutt, in Jei nings' Hotel. Six months later the second tragedy occurred, when Nutis son, James, killed the slayer of his father. The high soclal and political stani- ing of both men gave startling sign:- ficance to the first tragedy. The cause of the trouble between the two men was Dukes' infatuation for Nutt#] daughter, who was only 18 yeans old the time. He had pressed his attent: upon her in disregard of the wishes of her parents. He was informed that ke must cease making advances, and to this admonition Dukes sent Nutt sev- eral letters which the latter claimed quite offensive. These letters so angered Nutt that he called at the hotel to demand aa explanation, Hot words at orce ensuel when Dukes suddenly drew a revolver from his pocket and exclaimed: “You came in here to whip me. and so Il shoot you.” At this he carried out his threat. After Nutt had been shot lLie reached to his hip pocket and pulied out his revolver but before he could fire he fell into the arms of two friends Who had acompanied him. Dukes walked calmly out of the room and to the office of the hotel and gave himself up, remarking, as he did so, “I'm eorry that I did it, but it was in self-defense” Dukes was at once taken into custody. At the first hearing on December 23, Judge Wilson decided that the murder was unpre- meditated and bail was fixed at $12,000 which was supplied by the homicides stepfather. The prisoner was at once reléased and the trial was arranged to take piace in March 1883. It was begun on the 12th ana the strongest point pre- sented was the brutal leiters that Dukes had written to Nult regardin his daughter. On the second day cf the trial 37 witnesses testified to the traged: - The ‘trial continued only three days and the jury rendered a verdict u the "'"aflm of :_n cou matter ights for Myers and lips avenues was quite interesting the reply of Alderman M: at Lights on the Outskirts.

MORE LIGHT. 19, 1014, Young Men as Representatives. Mr, Editor—I read with interest those letters concerning the youthful representative from the town of Frank- lin. There are exceptions to all rules but assigning “young mer to fight the country's battles and old men to make the laws” is no exception in the writer's experience. In the session of 1507 the baby member was Mr. Lassin of Meriden I believe, and he was a little over 21 years of age. I recall how well he advocated measures befors the house that cencerned his city and town much to the astonish- ment of the older members who could always note that Speaker Tillson re- cognize him with a smile. It is a well known fact among leg- islators that the most wholésome ideas came from members from the country towns and not always the ed- ucated and experienced. They came before the assembly in the form of a substitute bill or some other form the committee to which they were re- ferred. It may have been prudence on the part of the 59 men in caucus to se- lect the man who did not know de- feat. In our town if the candidate informed of the size of the oppo- sition doughbag he would go out the caucus door like a. kicked rabbit. ~1t is true the young representative should be alive to the interests of the Zarmers but there are other matters Norwich, Nov. pending & report taken from the Jour- nal of American Medical Association of ‘.ln.{ 22, 1908, page 1879. This brings it with “authority,” to even the most ardent vaccinator: ‘The bureau of animal industry of the United States d ‘tment of ag- riculture has just published the re- sult of the Investigation of the- origin of foot and mouth discase among cat- |shipped to Danville and Watsontown, tle which prevailed during the last winter. An abstract of the report furnished by the bureau is as follows: The regent outbreak of the fovt and mouth diseaes in Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania and Maryiand - started from calves-used in the propagation of smallpox vaccine virus which had been contaminated with the virus of foot and mouth disease and the contamin- ated strain of vaccine came from a foreign country. These are the con- clusions from an investigation made jointly by the bureau of animal indus- iry of the department of agriculture end public health and marine hospital service of the treasury department, a report of which has just been issued. The_investigation was conducted by Dr. John R. Mobler, chief of the patho- Lgical division of ‘the formcr bureau, and Dr. M. J. Rosenan, director of the hygienic laboratory of the latter bu- reau. Foot and mouth disease was discov- ered among caftle in Pennsylvania November 10, 1908, and was reported to the department of agriculture by the state veterinarian of Pennsylvania. A few days after it was found in Michi- #an, New York and Maryland. In view of the strict quarantine maintained by the department of ag- riculture cn Imported live stock, and the fact that the importation of Tum- inants from countries where the dis ease exists was prohibited _entirely the department considered it highly improbable that the infection was brought in with animals. When, therefore, the disease was traced by in¥pection of the bureau of animal industry to calves that had been used for vaccine by a Detroii establishment (Parke-Davis Co.) and the cases of longest standing were found among these calves, these facts, caused the secretary of agriculture, James Wilson and Dr. A. D. Melvin, chief of the bureau of animal indus. “BRADON’S LAST RIDE,” 2 Reels— in Ireland, and Tues—“IRELAND—A NATION,” .t.ll eserved on the vaccine calves four days previous- y.

Calves used by the latter firm in propagating vac- cine were sent October 16 to the De- troit stock yards and thence on the same day to a farm near Detroit. On October 20 three -carloads of cattle from polnts in Michigan reached the Detroit stock yards and were put into the pens that Had been occupled by calling for attention.

Nov. 19, 1914, favor of the prisoner and he was ro- leased The pegole of Uniontown were so indignant af the result that Dukes was hung in effigy and it was neces- sary to protect the former prisoner from the angry mob. An indignation mieeling was held by the citizens on the same day of the acquittal and a. pe- tition was presented before the Fay- ette county bar to disbar Dukes as a. lawyer. The excitement gradually subsided, only to be revived again on June 13. when James Nutt, the second son of the murdered man, shot the murder- er of his father in front of the post- office building at Uniontown, the body of Dukes being carried to the same room of the hotel in which littie more than six months previcusly the first tragedy had ocurred. Dukes was killed almost instantly and young Nutt was arrested. An at- tempt was made to hold his trial in Uniontown in Dec. 1883, but it was impossible to obtain e jury end the case was transferred to Pittsburgh. The trial was begun in that city on Jan. 14, 1884, and the attorneys for young Nutt entered a plea of not gullty.” A number of witnesses were Produced to prove that the prisoner's mind had become unbalanced on ac- count of worry over the death of his father and the disgrace of his sister. The jury retired on Jan. 21, 1884, axa a verdict of ‘not gulity” was renderad on the following morning. Judge Stows signed the order for his release at once and James Nutt was judicially de- clared sane and a free man.
