TURNING OVER A NEW LEAF.
No happening in local political circles
since the election of william 81. Hubbell
as first selectman few years since has
given as much solid satisfaction to the
great body of taxpayers in Newtown
as the election on Monday last of Levi G.
Morris to this bigh post, and the general
verdict will be, the best man has won.
Mr. Morris election should not for one
moment be conside red in the light of q
partisan victory, for republicans, citizens,
democrats and prohibitionists, labored
together to bring about what they hope
and pray is the dawn of q better day in
the management of our town affairs. The
incoming board of selectmen are not
placed in an enviable position, but know
ing them as we do, we feel confident that
they will labor together to put the town
on q sound financial basis. 1t is Mr.
Morris misfortune to follow In the steps
of q man who has been frightfully ex.
travagant, and 1t is to be feared also that
Mr. Glover was not checked to any great
extent by his co-laborer, Mr. Bradley.
At least this is the conclusion the care.
full voter arrives at after a study of MI
Glover's remarkable report. Mr. Houli
han, the third selectman, is young man
of energy, has served one term in the
Legislature and also as county auditor,
which should serve him In good stead In
the position to which he has been elected
There is no dodgi1g the issue that the
town is face to face with serious fnan.
cial problem. With the closing of the
only large industry in the east part Of
the town, will naturally follow a depre.
citation Of values in that section, and II
will take wise counsel to make all ends
meet under the changing conditions.
The fest thirg the taxpayers want to
know is the exact indebtedness OF the
town, and we ehall not be surprised il
Mr. Morris and his associates take this
matter at once under advisement. Every
taxpayer we have heard express bis
views has warmly applauded the resolu.
tions introduced by Attorney Beecher at
the town meeting on Monday and
promptly passed. They were in the right
direction and warmly approved by Select.
man Norris, and we hope also by Messra
Bradley and Houlthan. Let as hope that
the latter gentlemen will show their pa
triottsm and sound sense by aidirg the
new chief f1icial in bringing about what
we believe is the beginning Of better
things In the civic life of Newtown.
And now final word to that class OF
carping critics who know it all and are
always ready to grasp club when new
man starts in. Don't expect too much.
Mr. Morris is human, but we believe he lie
honest to the core, fearless in what he
believes to be right and a man without
hypocrisy. He will do his level best, and
all citizens irrespective of party ought to
help him. Let every citizsn who labors
for the town, remember Newtown'e fnan.

is done the burden for the incoming
board of selectmen will be light and the

as the starting point on new and sound
financial basis.

eve of the occupation of that town at the
end Of May. In the course of an isolat-
ed attempt by a body of mounted infan-
try to enter the town two troopers were
shot, one fatally, as the men were can
tering back to cover. The horse of the
other stopped for a while by it's master,
then walked over and took a look at the
dead man, and then went back to the
other, rubbing him with it's nose and pre-
tending to go away without him. Final
ly, as though realizing the wounded
mans helpless condition, it knelt down
beside him, the trooper making several
Intellectual attempts to scramble into the
saddle. Meanwhile the enemy had be-
gun to fire on the horse, which scamp
cred off. while the trooper-a Colonial

time, to the shelter of railway. There.
raising himself ON one arm, he waved
the other to his horse, which cantered

the horse can thus be disciplined to the
display of a sagacity almost as great as
that of collie.

Quarles made very eloquent and pa

and regretted the materialistic tenden-

about this organiza tion," he said, lis the
possibility that there may be no senti-

lows who are to protect our liberty and
our fag.' Mr.. Quarles then spoke of
the horrors Of Andersonville, and of the
