EDITORIAL INK DROPS.

More vigorous enforcement of existing legislation is needed throughout the county and state in the enforcement of laws against petty thieving. From all about come reports to us of farmers who have had corn taken from the field, po- tatoes dug and like petty thieving. An example should be made of few of these scamps. The aggrieved parties and the officers of the law have it in their hands to put stop to this.

 The Ansonia Sentinel has taken up the turkey question and finds after deal of figuring that the total expenditure for turkey in Connecticut, last week, amount ed to $3S0,00O. The estimate, to be more specific, for She principal cities of the state was us follows: New Haven, $2l,- 800; Hartford, $l3 200; Bridgeport, ,$l2, 800; Waterbury, $750O; Meriden, $6250 Norwich, $5l00; New Britain, $5000 Danbury, $5OOO; .NIiddlctown, $3759 New London, $500; Norwalk, $3OO0 Stamford, $3000; Ansonia, $2500. It is big sum to be sure but Connecticut could have spent twice as much for tur- key, if she had taken a notion. It was money well invested. What a debt of gratitude the state owes the Sentinel for this discovery. Did the Sentinel ever fig ure up how much Ansonia spends for liquor and beer in year, to say nothing about the state. The result might be a good temperance lesson. Try it, broth CT, if you are hungering for mathematics.
 Senator D. N. Morgan of Bridgeport, whose portrait we published, last week, is prominently mentioned as candidate for president pro tenn of the state Senate, an admirable suggestion by the way.
