and committed an objectionable error
in saying it was let to the ''Republi-

ed Joel Moody Parish printer and
can prove that there is any difference
between the two in point of mean
ing, then we are willing to admit
that we are ignorant. If Joel Moody
has any other paper than the Repub-
lican Idea, or any other type where
by he can propose to publish the
proceedings of the Parish in the any
other paper then we admit the
charge of lying, otherwise, if the
parish printing was let to Joel Moody
and he uses the Republican Idea, it
dosn't matter whether he designates
it as "official Journal or not, Joel
Moody and Republican Idea are
inseperable, and one smells just as
rank of republicanism as the other.
In fact it would not have looked SO
bad on the part of the police jury if
they had elected Republican Idea"
instead of ''Joel Moody" because
the paper does come out sometimes
without much rot in it. The author
of the report above referred to does
not.wish TO appear egotistical in dis
claiming the assertion made by the
Republican Idea, or Joel Moody, at
least, that he "can't tell what
democracy is in this country nor tell
democrat from a republican"
What! does the gentlemand want to
deny his politics? If he had known
he was trying to play the part

THE TARIFFVILLE EXTENSION.

Last Friday the railroad commission CTS filed their decision in the matter of the petition for the approval of the lay out of the East Granby and Sufheld railroad which is designed to go around the Montague pasture and will prove connecting link between that portion of the track now laid from Tariffville to the pasture and from the other side of the pasture to Springfield. At the hearing held August 27th no opposition was offered by any party to granting said railroad company's petition.
 Now that the Tariffville extension. so called, will be eventually completed jt would be most gracious and graceful act for the Consolidated" road to pre- sent that 3l3 feet strip of Montague pasture to the Hartford and Connecti- cut Western Railroad Go. and thus save the East Granby and Suffield Railroad Co. the expense of building four and tw o. tenths miles of track in order to go around said SIS feet. Such an act would not only bo a meritorious one but it would be good business policy, for it would appease or regain many of the host of friends whom the "Consoli- dated" road lost by defeating the petition of the Hartford and Connecti- cut Western road ln the legislature of 1901 This is not only the opinion of the NEWS but it is the opinion of "Con- solidated" railroad stockholders in this section.
 We sincerely hope that the "Consoli- dated" road and the Hartford and Con- necticut Western road will now "bury the hatchet." It will be of mutual in- terest to do 80 and establish connecting trains and ever keep in mind that rail roads are chartered for the public con- venience, as common carriers; charter ed to serve instead of rule the public.
 This is the age of reciprocity. And reciprocity is just as beneficial to rail- way companies as to nations. The rails of the Consolidated" road connect with the Poughkeepsie Bridge route at Hopewell Junction. N. r., at Canaan, Winsted, Pine Meadow, Simsbnry and Hartferd, Conn, and should come ct at Springfield, Mass. Now if the trains of these two companies made close con- nections it would benefit both cor porations and would be blessing to the public. There should be, and we hope there soon will be, friendly re- lations and reciprocal and equitable passenger fares and freight tarriffs be- tween these two roads. We don't mean combine or trust to oppress the public; but such reasonable passenger fares, freight rates and schedule of trains that will benefit both roads and the public also.

The Passing of PiIfershire.

"On the western slope of the Berk- shire hills is a small village which is literally painted red once fin every ten or twelve years," writes Mary Y. Pat terson in The Ladies' Home Journal. Twenty-Five years before the battle of Lexington, Sylvanus Cunningham, a peddler of notions, passed through the settlement. His cart was upset and all his wares were thrown out in the road. The villagers rushed to his aid, but when he took nasty inventory of his stock he declared that much was miss- ing, and furthermore denounced the place and said it should thenceforth be known as 'Pilfershire.' And thus 1t was known until 1925, when the village fathers called meeting to take steps toward throwing of the ignominious name.
 "As substitute some one mentioned Red Rock This was met by the ob- jection that there were DO red rocks in the vicinity. Whereupon a shrewd old man suggested that they could paint one. So a great rock by the roadside was given a coat of deep. rich red, and since that time painting day. which occurs about every dozen years, has been one of the great celebrations in Red Rocks history"
