 the world for half century he may quite reasonably be called the greatest player on earth. Willie is now 16 years old and very deaf, but his sight is still keen, and he is vet able to defeat nearly every man he meets. I'm too auld for draughts, he says sadly but he usual ly manages to win whenever the stakes are worth securing.
 Wyllie Was born ill the Pierce Hill barracks. near Edinburgh, ill 1920, and at the time of his birth his father was sergeant major i'll the Scots Guards. As mere lad Wyllie was apprenticed to a kilmarnOck weaver, but his re- markable skill as a checker player mado him famous and induced him to aban don learning the weaver's trade. A dro- yer named Porteus whom young Willie had beaten took Wyllie to Edinburgh and surprised the natives. Porteus be- gan game with q local player of repu tation named Bertram and then found an excuse to drop out of the contest. Let my herd laddie play for mo, :" he said. Bertram consented, and to his amazcment the herd luldie won 59 games out of GO, and Bertram only sue ceeded i'll securing q single draw. The story of this achievement gavo Wyllie great local fame, which was increased when he defeated Professor Andrew An dcrsOn and Robert Martins, two great Scotch players.
 Wyllie then became watch peddlcr and travelled about Scotland selling timepieccS aS d regular business and playing checkers for money against all corners. "A shullcn game" was his price no matter who played against him, and when he first visited America ill 1873 he charged his opponents 25 cents a game. During this tour he played over ,00O games, losing less than 90. lu 1881 ho again visited Amer iCI and won 7,Gjt out uf l9,517 games, drew l, 15 and lost only 1O9. Ill match games he defeated C. r. Barker, the celebrated Boston expert, but was beat en by Clarence A. Freeman, the ProVi- dence expert who is of Indian descent, and the late R. D. Yates of Brooklyn. Willie also played throughout England l and Australia and has made a great deal of money as tho result of his skill. Willie claimed to be the champion of the world until about a year ago, when he was beaten by d young Scotch expert, James Ferrie.

 WITH all due respect for the members of the board of road commissioners the DEM ocRAT wishes to protest against paving North Main street with vitri6ed brick. Belgian block has been adopted for the business streets of Waterbury and should be rigidly and consistently adhered to. This whole matter of pavement was dis cussed at great length in the newspapers and at the board meetings ten years ago. and no change should be made now to suit the notions of interested parties Don't make crazy quilt of the streets.
 PATRIOTISM is noble and good and the true born American is right in standing up for his country in all things. But isn't all this talk about what the Defender is going to do just step beyond patriotism? It savers little of brag We all hope and expect that the cup will remain on this side of the pond. but it is possible that the reverse will be the case. The Defenders work up to date has been g1od, but after all not much better than that of the Nlgi- lant.

THE SUGAR BOUNTY CASE.
Secretary Carlisle Says the Controller
is SUPREME ON the Question.

Secretary Carlisle Says the Controller
fs Supreme on the Question.
Secretary Carlisle informed Senators Caf-
fiery and Blanchard of Louisiana, who call
ed on him yesterday in regard to the sugar
bounty controversy, that the controller was
supreme i'll all questions affecting accounts
with the government. The Senators insist
ed that Controller Bowler had no authority
under the law to question the constitution
ality of an act of Congress; that he was
charged with the construction of the laws
as he found them, and that IL he had the
power claimed he would be paramount to
Congress. The Secretary did not take
similar view of the situation. He admitted
that at times the controller might embar-
rass the government very seriously in it's
operations but said he saw no present
remedy. Congress. in his opinion has con-
ferred this great authority upon the con-
troIler, and he, the Secretary, had no right
to question his acts. The President of
course, could remove controller, but he
could not direct or review his decisions, and
he the Secretary, did not have even the
power to remove.
Secretary Carlisle did not in any way in
dicate what were his views on the consti-
tutional question raised by Mr.. Bowler.
but stated plainly that he han no author
ity over the controller. who could refuse to
certify an account on any grounds he
pleased, ard no one had any authority to
interfere.
