The fellow who sent out the report from Waterbury to the effect that Rev William J. Slocum of that place attack ed Bishop Potter and upheld the Tam many crusade against vice in a recent sermon, is liable to meet with g much deserved reckoning if things move the way Father Slocum is trying to make them. He denounces the story sent out as ''an infamus tissue of lies" and says that he will proceed further in the mat ter and has taken steps to ascertain the author of the report. We sincerely hope Father Slocum catches the rascal and deals with him as he deserves. There are far too many of his class of so-called reporters" in the country do- ing land office business and great amount of damage by their methods of sending corrupt and false reports to the state papers for publication. We have occasionally noticed traces of this dis poeition to fake or enlarge upon the true facts even in our own community, simply for the sake of sensation. Those who are responsible for such reports have no regard, seemingly, for the feel ings or reputation of others and have no consideration but the thought of how much money they can make out oi it In nearly every instance it is neces- sary to enlarge upon the facts of the case out of their fertile imaginations, in order to give it sufficient spice and i'm portance to be acceptable as news" by the ''great" dailies that pay for such trash. It is remarkable, too, how much credence is given these reports by all who read them, such, for instance, as the Colebrook wild man, tue big black bear that ate up Mrs Brewer, attempted sui cides and murders which appear almost daily and which occurred only in the overdeveloped imagination of some COT rupt news gatherer who saw and i'm proved an opportunity to add little tt his income and reputation at the ex pense of an innocent and inofensiv, person. We hope Father Slocum vii not relent when he locates this reporter that he will make an example of hin which will react as lesson of profit tt all others who prosecute that method o reporting"

Over in Litohfield they have a we'll org anixed dramatic club which recently opened the season there auspiciously, and of which the Litchfield Enquirer speaks in words of praise of the orgsni- sation, the performers and entertain menk After reading the article we were led to wonder if there was any reason why like club could not be or ganixed in Canaan and we fail to be able to discover any difficulty, with the possible exception of that of inclination. There is no question but we have all the necessary requisites for such an organi- ration and we are quite sure that we have moro and greater variety of tai ent than is ordinarily found in town of the size of Canaan or Litchfeld. All that is needed is little agitat ion. or ganization, concerted and harmonious action. It would be good thing in many ways. It would add to our so- cial enjoyment and would result to our benefit intellectually and physically. Now we give this to you for what it is worth and leave it with you with tn: hope that some some one will pick it ur and carry it through to success.

The Supreme court of the state of Nebraska has entered two decisions sd- verse to the Standard Oil Go. in a suit brought to debar the company from the state on the ground that it is trust The court sustains the motion of the at torney general to compel the company to produce its books and records and also overrules the answer of the Stand ard Oil Co.'S attorney, questioning iuris- diction. This, we consider the correct way to settle the trust question. As MT Mckinley has suggested, let every state legislste on the question of trusts, de- barring injurious ones from the state, and the trusts will die a premature death. At least it is effective in Ne braska.

Defending the Poultry.

To the Editor of The Post.
Houston, Texas. November 81 clip the
following from Tho Post of last Sunday:
Heretofore the poultry show has been
exceptionally successful, but poultry
breeders are now beginning to learn that
hares, all things considered, are con-
siderably more profitable than poultry
and can be raised at much less ex-
pense."
Referring to the above wish
to say that like other Belgian
hare advocates, the writer OF the
above appears to be attempting to pull
down the poultry interests 20 build up
thai OF the hare. We do not believe he
can point to any successful poultry breed
er in Texas who has abandoned his fowls
for Belgian hares, as they can in nowise
be classed rival TO chickens, Who ever
heard OF rabbit laying eggs Except al
Eastern? The poultry show will never be
anected by the hare. Poultry has its
place in the culinary department OF every
family in the United States, Take all the
} eggs laid by the poultry OF the United
States off the market for one month and
"eiy COOK III the country would be at q
standstill. In short, the world could
hardly be run without eggs, hence talk OF
Belgian hares being more profitable thar
poultry and a rival to II is the sheerss
folly. il seems 10 me,
The hare has its place, but IL will hav,
to occupy IL on its own merits and no
! by tearing down poultry.
! The coming poultry show ID be held 4,
Houston December 3 to u, probably tn,
} largest ever held in the South. viii
demonstrate that poultry is sill ION top,
and that the poultry shows" Of the fu
ture as well as the past, will be 'excep
tionally successful"
Begisn hares are practically new fad
virtually untried, while chickens hav
been utilized for food, etc, ever since an
probably before Noah built the ark.
