BE WISE.

If the ADVOCATE can, with 9th
ers pulling with it, succeed in con-
vincing our people that it is to
their interest to contribute suffic-
lent amount to induce capitalists
to put their money into the con-
struction fund by which a road
can be constructed from here to a
connection with the L. & E., and
had accomplished nothing else, the
labor and expense Of its existance
for the past IA years has not been
futile. 1t would have done a great
work for the people. The people
we are most interested in are those
with a future before them. The
industrious, aspiring young peo-
pie. Take your pad and pencil
and figure what such road would
be worth to Montgomery county,
to you as an individual and then
act accordingly. If you have a
farm Of 100 acres, worth fifty dol
lars per acre now, what would be
its increase value the moment the
road is assured2 Ten dollars per
acre would be small. This in
crease of value would be the same
as placing 81, 900 to your credit
in the bank. Then take up the
question Of increased business by
miscellaneous crops. The increase
value Of poultry and their pro-
duce, OF your truck patches ac-
cording to what you have raised
and their possibilities, figure these
items on one side, multiply it by
the average years of a generation
and then decide with yourself what
it is your duty to give. Answer
seriously for this is proposition
of a lifetime. We can be pros
porous if we would be wise and
determined. Act according to
your individual interests and do i'll
now.

CAN 1T BE?

From a report that has come to
this office, it seems some Of our
people are asking such prices for
right-of-way that the committee to
secure it will be forced to resort
to the legal right Of condemning
the lands and leaving the question
of damages to jury. We trust
this is a mistake, and if not our
people will reconsider their decis-
ion and really give the right-of
way entirely. Should the law be
resorted to our people would not
receive as much as they can get
by making the deal with the COM
mittee. 1t is the people Of Mont
gomery that are putting up the
money to buy the right-of-way,
and it would be the same people
that would sit in judgment on
these right-of-way cases. While
we believe every man can afford
to give the right-of-way in order
to secure a connecting railroad
with the Lexinnton and Eastern,
we know they can not afford to
allow court proceeding against
them

WHO DOES 1T BENEFIT?

the key to the building of the rail-
road from here to a connection
with the Lexington and Eastern, in
an attempt to prohibit the secur-
ing the right of way: ut will
bring large remuneration to the
business men of the city but little
or no pay to the farmer. Now
the man or men who make such
statements may he disappointed
when they realize our farmers are
an intelligent set OF people and
will not believe any such stuff,
We want to consider this matter
and ask our farmer friends to go
with us and ascertain who it is that
is so busying themselves against
the interests Of the masses or the
people. They will not be long in
finding that these are the people
who few years ago opposed any
kind of an appropriation by which
the people could have railroad
inlet and outlet. They are people
who are ready to die by reason OF
advanced years or are those who
have plenty and care only for self
and wish to be let alone But it
matters not what may be the en-
ployment Of the business man, he
must have railroads, the more the
better. To wait for the mails
from morning to evening is too
slow. Business is on the whirl
aud transit OF freight must be
rapid. We want to see if the
statement that the city folks are
the only people interested is true.
Consider with us. If there is
market created for additional farm
production, or if the profits on the
present yields are increased the
man or men interested and who
opposed the causes for such would
be considered poor business men
indeed. 1t has been said Of a.
truth, the farmers waste in small
things would cover even his net
income. What becomes Of the
apples that fall from the trees in
the orchard; are they made mp into
vinegar and sent to market?
What becomes Of the grapes; are
thousands Of baskets put into the
cellars to await coming market?
Then there are potatoes, pump
kins, cabbage, turnips, parsnips,
asparagus, various kinds of green's,
berries, ETC., much of which 60 to
waste because Of high freights and
inaccessible markets.
Then, as referred to in last
weeks issue. there is butter, eggs,
and milk which would find a quick
and profitable market. Who is
benefited by the sale Of such pro-
ducts; the city man? No, it is
the farmer primarily, and the sec
ond in benefits is the business
man Of the city and that only by
the way of increased circulation of
money caused by the farmer and
his hands having more to sell and
at better prices. OF course the
city man is benefited by reduc-
ton of freights, so is the farmer.
He is also benefited by reason of
the establishment OF factories that
furnish consumers and bring mon
ey from the districts they supply,
and in this the farmer is benefited
also, for by their coming is made
greater demands for all that is
raised on the farm and prices from
this demand advance. All Of this
is evidence that meddlers are with
out proof of their statements and
that the people, be they Of the
city or town, must work together
to achieve the needed facilities FOR
profitable results.

EDRTN BLATR BoWDTTCH.

The death Of Edwin Blair Bowditch
removes one who has occupied large
place in the business OF New Haven and
who has also occupied large place in
the respect and confidence Of New Ha-
ven people. More than that, he has oc-
.cupied large place in the hearts of the
many who were drawn to him by his
good will. his honesty. his honor, his
consideration for others and his tendes
feeling. He was a good man and a
just man. He thought well and spoke
well of his fellow beings. He sought
opportunities to say pleasant and appre-
ciative words to those who needed them
and to do kind acts to those who need
ed them. He lived a long and useful life,
and the latter part Of it was, in its
sweet peace. its good spirit and its
good deeds, the fitting crown of his
career. The mourning for him can be
with hope and the consolation there is
in such worthy and benehcent life as
he lived.

j PALERMO EXPERIMENT.

There is an experiment going on at
Palermo, Sicily, which is interesting,
and perhaps important. Palermo has
Municipal Bakery. In Palermo the
-four trade during the last few years
has become centered in one private es-
tablishment-it was, in fact, a monop-
oily. Naturally, both bread and maca-
roni, the staple food of the lower class
es, rose in price. This the municipality
triedSin vain to check by fixing stand
ard rates for both commodities. Anx-
ious not to ruin the retailers. they
struck directly at the nonopolists by
undertaking to supply flour to the bak-
ers at standard price and bread for
them to sell on commission. They laid
their plans in advance, collected corn
from all parts of the island and set up,
not only mill, but also a bakery of
their own. The latter was opened in
March Of last year, and turned out
about 10000 pounds of bread daily. The
military emergency ovens were soon
added, and supplied 1000 pounds more.
In May the municipal authorities ac-
quired private flour mill, which, by
working day and night, can turn out
about fifty tonsNof flour, together with
two bakeries, which between them can
make 2S,eO0 pounds of bread. In prac-
tice, however, the municipal bakeries
placed daily on the market $4,000 pounds
of bread, or enough to supply one-sixth
of a population of 325,0OO, which con-
sumes not only 100000 pounds of bread,
but 100000 pounds of macaroni. In this
way the municipality has succeeded in
lowering the price of bread a half-pen-
ny a pound, and in maintaining the
standard rates which it considered fair
to the public and to the trade. More
over, it claims to have made a consid-
cradle profit, but on this point there is
considerable difference Of opinion, as
the baking business has been run by
officers whose salaries are paid, not out
of the earnings, but out OF the public
purse,

carried me and my suit case and type

his general bearing toward me that

regular fare when the cab reached the

cab door and took my suit case and

4noUBEE IN IA RrFonD, roo.


Hartford must initiate New Haven,
as usual. and be agitated over her
police force. This is the way the Cour-
ant talks: 1t is plain that there is
something the matter with the force.
At time when officers were liable to
be shifted from their beats if they did
their duty there was reason for demon
alization. 1t has been common talk
that for some years past the tendency
Of things has been against the morale
of the department. But there is none
Iof that sort Of talk nowadays. The
board of police commissioners have the
full confidence Of the community and
are recognized as men of ability and
right purpose. The way to curry favor
with them is by attending to business
and keeping it attended to, and the
thing for them to do is to shake things
into shape so that the force shall do
work worthy of those responsible for
their conduct.
Perhaps Hartford will initiate New
Haven to the extent of having police
investigation. but we hope not. Imita-
ton is said to be the sincerest fiattery,
but we can dispense with little fiat
terry for the sake of Hartford's peace
and purse.
